Intracytoplasmic free calcium ions (Ca++) are maintained at a very low concentration in mammalian tissue by extruding Ca++ from the cytoplasm against a steep extracellular Ca++ concentration gradient, mainly through the activity of plasma membrane Ca++ pump-ATPase. The present study aimed to elucidate how endothelin-1 (ET-1) affects the morphology of sinusoidal endothelial fenestrae and ultrastructural distribution of plasma membrane ATPases and intracytoplasmic free Ca++ in isolated rat hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells. Sinusoidal endothelial fenestrae were observed by scanning electron microscope. Ando's electron cytochemical method was used for ultrastructural localization of Ca++-Mg++-ATPase activity, electron immunogold postembedding method for Ca++ pump-ATPase immunoactivity, and antimonate method for intracytoplasmic free Ca++. Addition of ET-1 to sinusoidal endothelial cells significantly decreased Ca++-Mg++-ATPase activity and Ca++ pump-ATPase expression and increased intracytoplasmic free Ca++ concentration, concomitant with a decrease in diameter of sinusoidal endothelial fenestrae. Co-treatment with Bosentan abolished the actions of ET-1. These results suggest that ET-1 suppresses Ca++-Mg++-ATPase activity and Ca++ pump-ATPase expression on the plasma membrane of sinusoidal endothelial fenestrae, thereby attenuating the extrusion of intracytoplasmic free Ca++ into the extracellular space, leading to an increased concentration of intracytoplasmic free calcium ions and contraction of sinusoidal endothelial fenestrae.
在哺乳动物组织中,细胞质内的游离钙离子(Ca++)通过逆着陡峭的细胞外Ca++浓度梯度将Ca++从细胞质中挤出,主要是通过质膜Ca++泵 - ATP酶的活性,从而维持在非常低的浓度。本研究旨在阐明内皮素 - 1(ET - 1)如何影响分离的大鼠肝窦状内皮细胞中窦状内皮窗孔的形态、质膜ATP酶的超微结构分布以及细胞质内游离Ca++的情况。通过扫描电子显微镜观察窦状内皮窗孔。采用安藤电子细胞化学方法对Ca++ - Mg++ - ATP酶活性进行超微结构定位,电子免疫金包埋后方法检测Ca++泵 - ATP酶免疫活性,以及锑酸盐方法检测细胞质内游离Ca++。向窦状内皮细胞中添加ET - 1可显著降低Ca++ - Mg++ - ATP酶活性和Ca++泵 - ATP酶表达,并增加细胞质内游离Ca++浓度,同时窦状内皮窗孔直径减小。与波生坦共同处理可消除ET - 1的作用。这些结果表明,ET - 1抑制窦状内皮窗孔质膜上的Ca++ - Mg++ - ATP酶活性和Ca++泵 - ATP酶表达,从而减弱细胞质内游离Ca++向细胞外空间的挤出,导致细胞质内游离钙离子浓度增加和窦状内皮窗孔收缩。
