To compare the efficacy of the calcium pump-mediated calcium efflux pathway in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) with that in Wistar-Kyoto normotensive rats (WKY), at rest and after angiotensin II stimulation.
The intracellular free calcium concentration and calcium-45 efflux were measured in parallel, in cultured aortic smooth muscle cells isolated from 10-week-old male SHR and WKY rats.
The intracellular free calcium concentration and calcium-45 efflux were studied in confluent vascular smooth muscle cells in culture. Experiments were performed in the absence of added extracellular calcium and sodium. Fura-2 was used to measure basal and angiotensin II-stimulated intracellular free calcium concentration. Effluxed calcium-45 was measured over 5s intervals to determine basal and angiotensin II-stimulated calcium efflux rates in SHR and in WKY rats.
No significant difference between SHR and WKY rats was observed in basal intracellular free calcium concentration or 100nmol/l angiotensin II-stimulated peak intracellular free calcium concentration. However, significantly elevated basal and 100 nmol/l angiotensin II-stimulated calcium-45 efflux rates were found in SHR. The calcium-45 efflux rates in SHR were elevated when the efflux was normalized with respect to the bulk intracellular free calcium concentration. The time taken to reach the maximum calcium-45 efflux rate after angiotensin II stimulation was reduced in SHR compared with that in WKY rats and was dose-dependent in both rat strains.
The calcium-pump mediated calcium efflux pathway appears to be more efficient in SHR. This may be the result of post-translational modification, enhanced calcium pump sites in a critical region of the membrane, or the presence of a pool of calcium near the plasma membrane that is not readily detected by cytosolic Fura-2 but is higher in SHR both before and after angiotensin II stimulation.
比较自发性高血压大鼠(SHR)与Wistar-Kyoto正常血压大鼠(WKY)在静息状态及血管紧张素II刺激后钙泵介导的钙外流途径的功效。
对从10周龄雄性SHR和WKY大鼠分离的培养主动脉平滑肌细胞同时测量细胞内游离钙浓度和45钙外流。
在培养的汇合血管平滑肌细胞中研究细胞内游离钙浓度和45钙外流。实验在无细胞外钙和钠添加的情况下进行。用Fura-2测量基础及血管紧张素II刺激后的细胞内游离钙浓度。以5秒间隔测量流出的45钙,以确定SHR和WKY大鼠的基础及血管紧张素II刺激后的钙外流速率。
在基础细胞内游离钙浓度或100nmol/l血管紧张素II刺激后的峰值细胞内游离钙浓度方面,SHR和WKY大鼠之间未观察到显著差异。然而,在SHR中发现基础及100nmol/l血管紧张素II刺激后的45钙外流速率显著升高。当45钙外流相对于总体细胞内游离钙浓度进行归一化时,SHR中的45钙外流速率升高。与WKY大鼠相比,SHR中血管紧张素II刺激后达到最大45钙外流速率所需的时间缩短,且在两种大鼠品系中均呈剂量依赖性。
钙泵介导的钙外流途径在SHR中似乎更有效。这可能是翻译后修饰、膜关键区域钙泵位点增加或质膜附近存在一个钙池的结果,该钙池不易被胞质Fura-2检测到,但在血管紧张素II刺激前后SHR中均较高。
