Abstract
Acid–base transport in the vascular wall remains incompletely understood. Here, we investigated (a) implications of Na(+)/H(+) exchanger NHE1 knockout for vascular smooth muscle (VSMC) and endothelial cell (EC) pH(i) regulation, mesenteric artery morphology, vasomotor function and blood pressure regulation, and (b) consequences of sustained EC and VSMC acidification for vasomotor function. Na(+)/H(+) exchange activity was abolished in VSMCs and ECs from NHE1 knockout mice, but with CO(2)/HCO(3)(−) present, steady-state pH(i) was unaffected. Active tension was 30% smaller in arteries from NHE1 knockout than wild-type mice, and media thickness equally reduced. Number of VSMCs per unit artery length was unchanged whereas volume and cross-sectional area of individual VSMCs were reduced. Media stress, force production per VSMC cross-sectional area and VSMC Ca(2+) responses were unaffected. Blood pressure was 25 mmHg lower in NHE1 knockout than wild-type mice. Omission of CO(2)/HCO(3)(−) caused VSMCs and ECs to acidify substantially more in NHE1 knockout (0.3–0.6 pH-units) than wild-type (0.02–0.1 pH units) mice. Removing CO(2)/HCO(3)(−) inhibited acetylcholine-induced NO-mediated relaxations in arteries from NHE1 knockout but not wild-type mice. Without CO(2)/HCO(3)(−), effects of NO synthase and rho kinase inhibition on noradrenaline-induced contractions were smaller in arteries from NHE1 knockout than wild-type mice whereas the EC Ca(2+) response to acetylcholine, VSMC Ca(2+) response to noradrenaline and vasorelaxation to S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine were unaffected. In conclusion, NHE1 mediates the Na(+)/H(+) exchange in ECs and VSMCs. Under physiological conditions, CO(2)/HCO(3)(−)-dependent mechanisms mask the pH(i)-regulatory function of NHE1. NHE1 knockout causes hypotrophy of VSMCs, reduced artery tension and lower blood pressure. At acidic pH(i), NO-mediated vasorelaxation and rho kinase-dependent VSMC Ca(2+) sensitivity are reduced.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Disturbances in pH affect artery function, but the mechanistic background remains controversial. We investigated whether Na(+), HCO₃- transporter NBCn1, by regulating intracellular pH(pH₁), influences artery function and blood pressure regulation. METHODS AND RESULTS Knockout of NBCn1 in mice eliminated Na+, HCO₃⁻ cotransport and caused a lower steady-state pH(i) in mesenteric artery smooth muscle and endothelial cells in situ evaluated by fluorescence microscopy. Using myography, arteries from NBCn1 knockout mice showed reduced acetylcholine-induced NO-mediated relaxations and lower rho-kinase-dependent norepinephrine-stimulated smooth muscle Ca²⁺ sensitivity. Acetylcholine-stimulated NO levels (electrode measurements) and N-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester-sensitive l-arginine conversion (radioisotope measurements) were reduced in arteries from NBCn1 knockout mice, whereas relaxation to NO-donor S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine, acetylcholine-induced endothelial Ca²⁺ responses (fluorescence microscopy), and total and Ser-1177 phosphorylated endothelial NO-synthase expression (Western blot analyses) were unaffected. Reduced NO-mediated relaxations in arteries from NBCn1 knockout mice were not rescued by superoxide scavenging. Phosphorylation of myosin phosphatase targeting subunit at Thr-850 was reduced in arteries from NBCn1 knockout mice. Evaluated by an in vitro assay, rho-kinase activity was reduced at low pH. Without CO₂/HCO₃⁻, no differences in pH(i), contraction or relaxation were observed between arteries from NBCn1 knockout and wild-type mice. Based on radiotelemetry and tail-cuff measurements, NBCn1 knockout mice were mildly hypertensive at rest, displayed attenuated blood pressure responses to NO-synthase and rho-kinase inhibition and were resistant to developing hypertension during angiotensin-II infusion. CONCLUSIONS Intracellular acidification of smooth muscle and endothelial cells after knockout of NBCn1 inhibits NO-mediated and rho-kinase-dependent signaling in isolated arteries and perturbs blood pressure regulation.

Abstract
AIMS We have previously characterized a cGMP-dependent Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) current in vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and have shown its dependence on bestrophin-3 expression. We hypothesize that this current is important for synchronization of SMCs in the vascular wall. In the present study, we aimed to test this hypothesis by transfecting rat mesenteric small arteries in vivo with siRNA specifically targeting bestrophin-3. METHODS AND RESULTS The arteries were tested 3 days after transfection in vitro for isometric force development and for intracellular Ca(2+) in SMCs. Bestrophin-3 expression was significantly reduced compared with arteries transfected with mutated siRNA. mRNA levels for bestrophin-1 and -2 were also significantly reduced by bestrophin-3 down-regulation. This is suggested to be secondary to specific bestrophin-3 down-regulation since siRNAs targeting different exons of the bestrophin-3 gene had identical effects on bestrophin-1 and -2 expression. The transfection affected neither the maximal contractile response nor the sensitivity to norepinephrine and arginine-vasopressin. The amplitude of agonist-induced vasomotion was significantly reduced in arteries down-regulated for bestrophins compared with controls, and asynchronous Ca(2+) waves appeared in the SMCs. The average frequency of vasomotion was not different. 8Br-cGMP restored vasomotion in arteries where the endothelium was removed, but oscillation amplitude was still significantly less in bestrophin-down-regulated arteries. Thus, vasomotion properties were consistent with those previously characterized for rat mesenteric small arteries. Data from our mathematical model are consistent with the experimental results. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates the importance of bestrophins for synchronization of SMCs and strongly supports our hypothesis for generation of vasomotion.

Abstract
PURPOSE The retinal blood flow is regulated by the tone of resistance arterioles, which is influenced by purinergic compounds such as adenosine and adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) released from the retinal tissue. However, it is unknown what cellular elements in the perivascular retina are responsible for the effect of purines on the tone of retinal arterioles. METHODS Porcine retinal arterioles were loaded with the calcium-sensitive fluorophore Oregon green. The vessels were mounted in a confocal myograph for simultaneous recordings of tone and calcium activity in cells of the vascular wall during stimulation with ATP and adenosine, with and without modifiers of these compounds. Additionally, immunohistochemistry was used to localize elements with calcium activity in the vascular wall. RESULTS Hyperfluorescence indicating calcium activity was recorded in a population of abundant round boutons interspersed in a network of vimentin-positive processes located immediately external to the smooth muscle cell layer but internal to the perivascular glial cells. These structures showed calcium activity when the vessel was relaxed with ATP but not when it was relaxed with adenosine. Ryanodine reduced calcium activity in the boutons, whereas the ATP antagonist adenosine-5'-O-(α, β- methylene diphosphate) reduced calcium activity in both the boutons and vascular tone. CONCLUSIONS The vasodilating effect of purines in porcine retinal tissue involves ATP-dependent calcium activity in a layer of cellular boutons located external to the vascular smooth muscle cells and internal to the perivascular glial cells.

Abstract
The slc4a10 gene encodes an electroneutral Na(+)-dependent HCO(3)(-) importer for which the precise mode of action remains unsettled. To resolve this issue, intracellular pH (pH(i)) recordings were performed upon acidification in the presence of CO(2)/HCO(3)(-) by 2',7'-bis(carboxyethyl)-5,6-carboxyfluorescein (BCECF) fluorometry of stably slc4a10-transfected NIH-3T3 fibroblasts. slc4a10 expression induced a significant Na(+)-dependent pH(i) recovery, which was accompanied by an increase in the intracellular Na(+) concentration evaluated by use of the Na(+)-sensitive fluorophore CoroNa Green. The estimated Na(+):HCO(3)(-) stoichiometry was 1:2. Cl(-) is most likely the counterion maintaining electroneutrality because (i) Na(+)-dependent pH(i) recovery was eliminated in Cl(-)-depleted cells; (ii) acute extracellular Cl(-) removal led to a larger alkalization in slc4a10-transfected cells than in control cells; and (iii) the 4,4'-diisothiocyanato-stilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS)-sensitive and Na(+)- and HCO(3)(-)-dependent (36)Cl(-)-efflux during pH(i) recovery was significantly greater in acidified slc4a10-transfected cells than in control cells. Charged amino acids specific to slc4a gene family members that transport Na(+) and are expected to move more HCO(3)(-) molecules/turnover were targeted by site-directed mutagenesis. Na(+)-dependent pH(i) recovery was reduced in each of the single amino acid mutated cell lines (E890A, E892A, H976L, and H980G) compared with wild type slc4a10-transfected cells and completely eliminated in quadruple mutant cells. In conclusion, the data suggest that slc4a10 expressed in mammalian cells encodes a Na(+)-dependent Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger in which four specific charged amino acids seem necessary for ion transport.

Abstract
Altered pH-regulatory ion transport is characteristic of many cancers; however, the mechanisms and consequences are poorly understood. Here, we investigate how a truncated, constitutively active ErbB2 receptor (DeltaNErbB2) common in breast cancer impacts on the Na(+)/H(+)-exchanger NHE1 and the Na(+),HCO(3)(-)-cotransporter NBCn1 in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells and address the roles of these transporters in chemotherapy resistance. Upon DeltaNErbB2 expression, mRNA and protein levels of NBCn1, yet not of NHE1, increased several-fold, and the localization of both transporters was altered paralleling extensive morphological changes. The rate of pH(i) recovery after acid loading increased by 50% upon DeltaNErbB2 expression. Knockdown and pharmacological inhibition confirmed the involvement of both NHE1 and NBCn1 in acid extrusion. NHE1 inhibition or knockdown sensitized DeltaNErbB2-expressing cells to cisplatin-induced programmed cell death (PCD) in a caspase-, cathepsin-, and reactive oxygen species-dependent manner. NHE1 inhibition augmented cisplatin-induced caspase activity and lysosomal membrane permeability followed by cysteine cathepsin release. In contrast, NBCn1 inhibition attenuated cathepsin release and had no net effect on viability. These findings warrant studies of NHE1 as a potential target in breast cancer and demonstrate that in spite of their similar transport functions, NHE1 and NBCn1 serve different functions in MCF-7 cells.

Abstract
The current study characterizes the mechanical properties of the human thoracic duct and demonstrates a role for adrenoceptors, thromboxane, and endothelin receptors in human lymph vessel function. With ethical permission and informed consent, portions of the thoracic duct (2-5 cm) were resected and retrieved at T(7)-T(9) during esophageal and cardia cancer surgery. Ring segments (2 mm long) were mounted in a myograph for isometric tension (N/m) measurement. The diameter-tension relationship was established using ducts from 10 individuals. Peak active tension of 6.24 +/- 0.75 N/m was observed with a corresponding passive tension of 3.11 +/- 0.67 N/m and average internal diameter of 2.21 mm. The equivalent active and passive transmural pressures by LaPlace's law were 47.3 +/- 4.7 and 20.6 +/- 3.2 mmHg, respectively. Subsequently, pharmacology was performed on rings from 15 ducts that were normalized by stretching them until an equivalent pressure of 21 mmHg was calculable from the wall tension. At low concentrations, norepinephrine, endothelin-1, and the thromboxane-A(2) analog U-46619 evoked phasic contractions (analogous to lymphatic pumping), whereas at higher contractions they induced tonic activity (maximum tension values of 4.46 +/- 0.63, 5.90 +/- 1.4, and 6.78 +/- 1.4 N/m, respectively). Spontaneous activity was observed in 44% of ducts while 51% of all the segments produced phasic contractions after agonist application. Acetylcholine and bradykinin relaxed norepinephrine preconstrictions by approximately 20% and approximately 40%, respectively. These results demonstrate that the human thoracic duct can develop wall tensions that permit contractility to be maintained across a wide range of transmural pressures and that isolated ducts contract in response to important vasoactive agents.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF)-type relaxation in mesenteric small arteries from 21 week old Zucker lean (ZL) and Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats was investigated using (6,7-dichloro-1H-indole-2,3-dione 3-oxime) (NS309), a potent activator of small-conductance, calcium-activated potassium channel (SK(Ca)) and intermediate-conductance, calcium-activated potassium channel (IK(Ca)). EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH In the presence of inhibitors of cyclooxygenase and nitric oxide synthase [indomethacin and N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME), respectively], acetylcholine (ACh)-induced hyperpolarization and EDHF-type relaxation were investigated under isometric conditions in the wire myograph using 0.5 and 1 microM NS309 and/or selective blockers of SK(Ca) and IK(Ca) channels. Membrane potential was recorded with glass microelectrodes, and changes in the intracellular calcium concentration of endothelial cells were visualized by confocal microscopy. SK(Ca) expression was assessed by Western blotting. KEY RESULTS In arteries from ZDF rats, ACh-induced relaxation and membrane hyperpolarization were attenuated and, compared with arteries from ZL rats, NS309 was less potent at causing relaxation. Incubation with 0.5 microM NS309 did not increase ACh-induced relaxation in arteries from ZDF rats significantly. However, 1 microM NS309 restored it (both in the absence and in the presence of indomethacin and l-NAME) without changing endothelial intracellular calcium concentration. The restored EDHF-type relaxation was more sensitive to TRAM-34 (1-[(2-chlorophenyl) diphenylmethyl]-1H-pyrazole) (1 microM) than to apamin. Expression of the SK(Ca) channel was unaltered. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS The attenuated EDHF-type relaxation in mesenteric small arteries from ZDF rats can be restored by NS309 without changes in the intracellular calcium concentration of endothelial cells. These results may have clinical implications for the treatment of endothelial dysfunction in overweight type 2 diabetic patients.

We hypothesized that osmotically induced renin release depends on water movement through aquaporin-1 (AQP1) water channels and subsequent prostanoid formation. We recorded membrane capacitance (C(m)) by whole-cell patch clamp in single JG cells as an index of exocytosis. Hypotonicity increased C(m) significantly and enhanced outward current. Indomethacin, PLA(2) inhibition, and an antagonist of prostaglandin transport impaired the C(m) and current responses to hypotonicity. Hypotonicity also increased exocytosis as determined by a decrease in single JG cell quinacrine fluorescence in an indomethacin-sensitive manner. In single JG cells from COX-2(-/ -) and AQP1(-/ -) mice, hypotonicity increased neither C(m) nor outward current, but 0.1-muM PGE(2) increased both in these cells. A reduction in osmolality enhanced cAMP accumulation in JG cells but not in renin-producing As4.1 cells; only the former had detectable AQP1 expression. Inhibition of protein kinase A blocked the hypotonicity-induced C(m) and current response in JG cells. Taken together, our results show that a 5 to 7% decrease in extracellular tonicity leads to AQP1-mediated water influx in JG cells, PLA(2)/COX-2-mediated prostaglandin-dependent formation of cAMP, and activation of PKA, which promotes exocytosis of renin.

Abstract
PURPOSE To study the myogenic response in large and small porcine retinal arterioles and the effects of blockade of L-type voltage gated calcium channels on the myogenic response. METHODS Eleven large (outer diameter 137.7 +/- 4.5 micro m) and fourteen small (77.3 +/- 3.7 micro m) isolated porcine retinal arterioles were studied for myogenic response while mounted between two double-barrelled pipette systems. The intraluminal pressure was varied from 0 to 140 cm H( 2)O (0-103 mmHg) and the diameter changes of the arterioles were registered. The pressure-diameter relation was determined for arterioles in calcium-containing and calcium free solutions and during inhibition of the L-type voltage gated calcium channels with nifedipine. RESULTS Both large and small retinal arterioles showed a decrease in diameter as the intraluminal pressure was increased, but no significant difference was found between large and small arterioles (p = 0.39). Blockade of voltage gated calcium channels significantly abolished the myogenic response (p = 0.010 and p = 0.005, large and small arterioles respectively). CONCLUSIONS The results indicate that myogenic responses are present throughout the retinal arteriolar system and that L-type voltage gated calcium channels are involved in transforming the stretch of retinal vascular smooth muscle cells induced by an increase in intraluminal pressure into a contraction.

Abstract
Newborns of smokers had a lower weight, a smaller head circumference, and were shorter than newborns of smokers and ex-smokers, who stopped smoking early in pregnancy. The activity and concentration of the enzyme which produces the vasodilator nitric oxide were 36% and 47% lower, respectively, in endothelial cells of the umbilical vein from smokers compared with that from nonsmokers and ex-smokers. The findings suggest that smoking reduces nitric oxide production in the foetal vascular bed, contributing to retarded foetal growth caused by the reduction of vasodilatory capacity.
