Metabolic syndrome inhibits store-operated Ca 2+ entry and calcium-induced calcium-release mechanism in coronary artery smooth muscle. Biochem Pharmacol 2020; 182:114222. [PMID: 32949582 DOI: 10.1016/j.bcp.2020.114222] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2020] [Revised: 09/14/2020] [Accepted: 09/15/2020] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Metabolic syndrome causes adverse effects on the coronary circulation including altered vascular responsiveness and the progression of coronary artery disease (CAD). However the underlying mechanisms linking obesity with CAD are intricated. Augmented vasoconstriction, mainly due to impaired Ca2+ homeostasis in coronary vascular smooth muscle (VSM), is a critical factor for CAD. Increased calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) mechanism has been associated to pathophysiological conditions presenting persistent vasoconstriction while increased store operated calcium (SOC) entry appears to activate proliferation and migration in coronary vascular smooth muscle (VSM). We analyze here whether metabolic syndrome might alter SOC entry as well as CICR mechanism in coronary arteries, contributing thus to a defective Ca2+ handling and therefore accelerating the progression of CAD. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Measurements of intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) and tension and of Ca2+ channels protein expression were performed in coronary arteries (CA) from lean Zucker rats (LZR) and obese Zucker rats (OZR). KEY RESULTS SOC entry stimulated by emptying sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ store with cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) was decreased and associated to decreased STIM-1 and Orai1 protein expression in OZR CA. Further, CICR mechanism was blunted in these arteries but Ca2+ entry through voltage-dependent L-type channels was preserved contributing to maintain depolarization-induced increases in [Ca2+]i and vasoconstriction in OZR CA. These results were associated to increased expression of voltage-operated L-type Ca2+ channel alpha 1C subunit (CaV1.2) but unaltered ryanodine receptor (RyR) and sarcoendoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) pump protein content in OZR CA. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS The present manuscript provides evidence of impaired Ca2+ handling mechanisms in coronary arteries in metabolic syndrome where a decrease in both SOC entry and CICR mechanism but preserved vasoconstriction are reported in coronary arteries from obese Zucker rats. Remarkably, OZR CA VSM at this state of metabolic syndrome seemed to have developed a compensation mechanism for impaired CICR by overexpressing CaV1.2 channels.

Abstract
Store operated calcium channels (SOCCs) have been suggested to play a critical role in many diabetic complications. Diabetic cystopathy (DCP) is common in patients with diabetes, but the role of SOCCs in DCP is still unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of SOCCs in DCP with streptozocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Specifically, the authors investigated whether SOCCs were altered in streptozocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats and, if so, how this may contribute to the contraction of bladder detrusor strips and the intracellular Ca2+ concentration of bladder smooth muscle cells in diabetic rats. Cyclopiazonic acid (CPA, 10 µM) and SKF-96365 (10 µM) were used to activate and inhibit SOCCs respectively, to research the effects of SOCCs on the contraction of the bladder detrusor strips in normal and STZ-induced diabetic rats at the 4th, 8th and 12th week after the diabetic rat model was established. The changes of intracellular Ca2+ were also evaluated under confocal microscopy with pretreated Fluo-4AM. In addition, the expressions of Orai1 and STIM1 were detected by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting at different time points. According to the results, the contractive frequency of diabetic bladder muscle strips was higher than that of controls in the 4th and 8th week. The increased fluorescence intensity was detected after using CPA and SKF-96365 in diabetic groups. The expressions of Orai1 and STIM1 changed in a time-dependent manner.

Abstract
We recently demonstrated that acetylcholine (ACh) produced reliable vasoconstrictions in the umbilical cords. This study investigated the possible mechanisms with different antagonists. ACh-mediated vasoconstrictions were decreased by voltage-operated calcium (Ca2+) channels antagonist nifedipine or inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate-mediated Ca2+ release antagonist 2-aminoethyl diphenylborinate, indicating that both extracellular and intracellular calcium modulated the ACh-stimulated umbilical contraction. Intracellular Ca2+ concentrations were increased simultaneously with vasoconstrictions by ACh in the umbilical vessels. Inhibiting large-conductance calcium-dependent potassium (BK) channels enhanced ACh-mediated contraction, whereas inhibiting voltage dependent potassium (K+), inward rectifier K+ and ATP-sensitive K+ channels had no effects. Incubation with specific K+ channel inhibitors showed that ACh suppressed BK currents rather than 4-aminopyridine-sensitive K+ channels currents. The results suggested that blood vessels in umbilical cords had special characteristics in response to cholinergic signals. ACh-stimulated umbilical vasoconstrictions were mediated via muscarinic receptor subtype 1/3-protein kinase C/cyclooxygenase-BK channel pathways.

Abstract
The effects of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa virulence factor pyocyanin (PCN) on the contractile function of porcine coronary arteries was investigated in vitro. Artery rings (5 mm) were suspended in organ baths containing Krebs' solution for the measurement of isometric tension. The effect of PCN on resting and precontracted coronary arteries was initially investigated with various agents. Arteries were precontracted with prostaglandin (PG) F2α or potassium chloride and endothelium-dependent relaxations were induced by various agents in the presence of PCN. Pyocyanin (0.1-10 μmol/L) evoked small-amplitude, dose-dependent contractions in resting porcine coronary arteries. In addition, PCN amplified the contractile response to PGF2α , but did not alter responses to carbachol. Pyocyanin (0.1-10 μmol/L) significantly inhibited endothelium-dependent relaxations evoked by neurokinin A. Pyocyanin also inhibited relaxations evoked by diethylamine nitric oxide (a nitric oxide donor), forskolin (an adenylate cyclase activator), dibuytyryl-cAMP (a cAMP analogue), 8-bromo-cGMP (a cGMP analogue) and P1075 (a KATP channel activator), but not isoprenaline (β-adrenoceceptor agonist). These results indicate that physiological concentrations of PCN interfere with multiple intracellular processes involved in vascular smooth muscle relaxation, in particular pathways downstream of nitric oxide release. Thus, PCN may alter normal vascular function in patients infected with P. aeruginosa.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS The consumption of polyphenol-rich food is associated with a decreased mortality from coronary diseases. This study examined whether a standardized hydroalcoholic extract of Dicksonia sellowiana (HEDS) triggered endothelium-dependent relaxations in porcine coronary artery rings and characterized the underlying mechanism. METHODS The phosphorylation level of Src, Akt and eNOS was assessed by Western blot analysis, the formation of reactive oxygen species by dihydroethidine staining and the level of eNOS Ser1177 phosphorylation by immunohistochemical staining in sections of coronary arteries. RESULTS HEDS-induced endothelium-dependent relaxations were strongly reduced by Nω-nitro-L-arginine, an eNOS inhibitor, and by its combination with charybdotoxin plus apamin, inhibitors of endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor-mediated responses. These relaxations were markedly reduced by MnTMPyP (a membrane-permeant mimetic of superoxide dismutase), polyethylene glycol catalase (PEG-catalase; a membrane-permeant analog of catalase), and by wortmannin (an inhibitor of PI3-kinase). HEDS-induced sustained phosphorylation of Akt and eNOS in endothelial cells was abolished by MnTMPyP, PEG-catalase and wortmannin. Oral administration of HEDS induced a significant decrease of mean arterial pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats. CONCLUSION These findings indicate that HEDS caused endothelium-dependent relaxations of coronary artery rings through the redox-sensitive activation of the endothelial PI3-kinase/Akt pathway leading to the subsequent activation of eNOS by phosphorylation. HEDS also has antihypertensive properties.

Abstract
The cardioprotective effects of 17beta-estradiol (E2) in women are hypothesized to be partially mediated by the E2 metabolites 2-hydroxyestradiol (2-HOE) and 2-methoxyestradiol (2-MeOH). Therefore, the purpose of our study was to determine the acute effects of E2, 2-HOE, and 2-MeOH on inhibition of coronary arterial constriction. Right coronary arteries obtained from breeding sows were cut into 4 mm rings and suspended in organ baths. Incubation of the rings with E2, 2-HOE, and 2-MeOH (10 micromol/L) for 60 min attenuated a subsequent KCl-induced contraction by approximately 50%. The protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide and the estrogen receptor antagonists ICI 182780 and tamoxifen did not affect the attenuation. Moreover, E2, 2-HOE, and 2-MeOH antagonized the contraction induced by the vasospasm agonist endothelin-1 (0.1 micromol/L) by approximately 36%. When the L-type Ca2+ channel blocker nifedipine was added at the conclusion of the experiment, no additional contractile attenuation was present. Our results suggest that E2, 2-HOE, and 2-MeOH demonstrate a similar nongenomic inhibition of agonist-induced extracellular Ca2+-dependent contractions.

Abstract
Capacitative calcium entry (CCE) through store-operated channels (SOCs) has been shown to contribute to the rise in intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) and mediate pulmonary artery smooth muscle contraction. CCE is activated as a result of depletion of intracellular Ca(2+) stores but there is a great deal of controversy surrounding the underlying signal that active CCE and the molecular makeup of SOCs. The discovery of canonical subgroup of transient receptor potential channels (TRPC) and recent identification of stromal-interacting molecule 1 (STIM1) protein have opened a door to the study of the identity of SOCs and the signal that activates these channels. Among all the TRPC channels, TRPC1 is widely studied in many cell types and shown to be part of SOCs components, whereas STIM1 protein is found to act as a Ca(2+) sensor in the intracellular Ca(2+) stores and activates SOCs. However, there is very little evidence for the roles of TRPC1 and STIM1 in the contribution of CCE in pulmonary artery. This chapter outlines the roles of TRPC1 and STIM1 in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells and discusses our recent findings that TRPC1 and STIM1 are functionally interact with each other to mediate CCE in these cells. We also propose a model for the molecular makeup of SOCs formed by TRPC1 and STIM1 in pulmonary artery.

Abstract
Rationale
:
Congestive heart failure (CHF) frequently results in remodeling and increased tone of pulmonary resistance vessels. This adaptive response, which aggravates pulmonary hypertension and thus, promotes right ventricular failure, has been attributed to lung endothelial dysfunction.
Objective
:
We applied real-time fluorescence imaging to identify endothelial dysfunction and underlying molecular mechanisms in an experimental model of CHF induced by supracoronary aortic banding in rats.
Methods and Results
:
Endothelial dysfunction was evident in lungs of CHF rats as impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilation and lack of endothelial NO synthesis in response to mechanical stress, acetylcholine, or histamine. This effect was not attributable to downregulation of endothelial NO synthase. Imaging of the cytosolic Ca
2+
concentration ([Ca
2+
]
i
) revealed a singular impairment of endothelial [Ca
2+
]
i
homeostasis and signaling characterized by a lack of [Ca
2+
]
i
oscillations and deficient or attenuated [Ca
2+
]
i
responses to mechanical stress, histamine, acetylcholine, or thapsigargin. Reconstitution of a [Ca
2+
]
i
signal by ionophore treatment restored endothelial NO production, but lack of endothelial responsiveness was not primarily attributable to downregulation of Ca
2+
influx channels in CHF. Rather, we identified a massive remodeling of the endothelial cytoskeleton in the form of an increased expression of β-actin and F-actin formation which contributed critically to endothelial dysfunction in CHF because cytoskeletal disruption by cytochalasin D largely reconstituted endothelial [Ca
2+
]
i
signaling and NO production.
Conclusions
:
Our findings characterize a unique scenario of endothelial dysfunction in CHF that is caused by a singular impairment of [Ca
2+
]
i
signaling, and identify cytoskeletal reorganization as a major regulator of endothelial signaling and function.

Abstract
We tested the hypothesis that the de-endothelialized artery rings from the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery and its left ventricular branch (LVB) differ in their contractile responses to Na+–Ca2+-exchanger (NCX) mediated Ca2+-entry, muscarinic receptor activation with carbachol, and sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump (SERCA) inhibition with thapsigargin. In LVB, the force of contraction (in N/g tissue) produced by the NCX mediated Ca2+-entry (17.5 ± 1.4) and carbachol (18 ± 1.5) was only slightly smaller than that due to membrane depolarization with KCl (24.0 ± 1.0). In contrast, in LAD the force of contraction produced with NCX (8.7 ± 0.7) and carbachol (6.1 ± 1.1) was much smaller than with KCl (15.7 ± 0.7). Thapsigargin also contracted LVB with greater force than LAD. When isolated microsomes were used, the binding to the muscarinic receptor antagonist quinuclidinyl benzilate was greater in LVB than in LAD. Microsomes were also used for Western blots. The intensities of signals for both SERCA and NCX were greater in LVB than in LAD. These biochemical observations were consistent with the contractile experiments. Thus, it appears that the differences between LAD and the resistance arteries may begin as early as LVB.

Abstract
Previous studies in pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) showed that the TRPC1 channel mediates capacitative Ca(2+) entry (CCE), but the molecular signal(s) that activate TRPC1 in PASMCs remains unknown. The aim of the present study was to determine if TRPC1 mediates CCE through activation of STIM1 protein in mouse PASMCs. In primary cultured mouse PASMCs loaded with fura-2, cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) caused a transient followed by a sustained rise in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)). The transient but not the sustained rise in [Ca(2+)](i) was partially inhibited by nifedipine. In addition, CPA increased the rate of Mn(2+) quench of fura-2 fluorescence that was inhibited by SKF 96365, Ni(2+), La(3+) and Gd(3+), exhibiting pharmacological properties characteristic of CCE. The nifedipine-insensitive sustained rise in [Ca(2+)](i) and the increase in Mn(2+) quench of fura-2 fluorescence caused by CPA were both inhibited in cells pretreated with antibody raised against an extracellular epitope of TRPC1. Moreover, STIM1 siRNA reduced the rise in [Ca(2+)](i) and Mn(2+) quench of fura-2 fluorescence caused by CPA, whereas overexpression of STIM1 resulted in a marked increase in these responses. RT-PCR revealed TRPC1 and STIM1 mRNAs, and Western blot analysis identified TRPC1 and STIM1 proteins in mouse PASMCs. Furthermore, TRPC1 was found to co-immunoprecipitate with STIM1, and the precipitation level of TRPC1 was increased in cells subjected to store depletion. Taken together, store depletion causes activation of voltage-operated Ca(2+) entry and CCE. These data provide direct evidence that CCE is mediated by TRPC1 channel through activation of STIM1 in mouse PASMCs.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that, in acutely dispersed canine pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs), depletion of both functionally independent inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3))- and ryanodine-sensitive Ca(2+) stores activates capacitative Ca(2+) entry (CCE). The present study aimed to determine if cell culture modifies intracellular Ca(2+) stores and alters Ca(2+) entry pathways caused by store depletion and hypoxia in canine PASMCs. Intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) was measured in fura 2-loaded cells. Mn(2+) quench of fura 2 signal was performed to study divalent cation entry, and the effects of hypoxia were examined under oxygen tension of 15-18 mmHg. In acutely isolated PASMCs, depletion of IP(3)-sensitive Ca(2+) stores with cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) did not affect initial caffeine-induced intracellular Ca(2+) transients but abolished 5-HT-induced Ca(2+) transients. In contrast, CPA significantly reduced caffeine- and 5-HT-induced Ca(2+) transients in cultured PASMCs. In cultured PASMCs, store depletion or hypoxia caused a transient followed by a sustained rise in [Ca(2+)](i). The transient rise in [Ca(2+)](i) was partially inhibited by nifedipine, whereas the nifedipine-insensitive transient rise in [Ca(2+)](i) was inhibited by KB-R7943, a selective inhibitor of reverse mode Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX). The nifedipine-insensitive sustained rise in [Ca(2+)](i) was inhibited by SKF-96365, Ni(2+), La(3+), and Gd(3+). In addition, store depletion or hypoxia increased the rate of Mn(2+) quench of fura 2 fluorescence that was also inhibited by these blockers, exhibiting pharmacological properties characteristic of CCE. We conclude that cell culture of canine PASMCs reorganizes IP(3) and ryanodine receptors into a common intracellular Ca(2+) compartment, and depletion of this store or hypoxia activates voltage-operated Ca(2+) entry, reverse mode NCX, and CCE.

Abstract
Urocortin has been shown to produce vasodilatation in several arteries, but the precise mechanism of its action is still poorly understood. Here we demonstrate the role of store operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) regulated by Ca2+-independent phospholipase A2 (iPLA2) in phenylephrine hydrochloride (PE)-induced vasoconstriction, and we present the first evidence that urocortin induces relaxation by the modulation of SOCE and iPLA2 in rat coronary artery. Urocortin produces an endothelium independent relaxation, and its effect is concentration-dependent (IC50 approximately = 4.5 nmol/L). We show in coronary smooth muscle cells (SMCs) that urocortin inhibits iPLA2 activation, a crucial step for SOC channel activation, and prevents Ca2+ influx evoked by the emptying of the stores via a cAMP and protein kinase A (PKA)-dependent mechanism. Lysophophatidylcholine and lysophosphatidylinositol, products of iPLA2, exactly mimic the effect of the depletion of the stores in presence of urocortin. Furthermore, we report that long treatment with urocortin downregulates iPLA2 mRNA and proteins expression in rat coronary smooth muscle cells. In summary, we propose a new mechanism of vasodilatation by urocortin which involves the regulation of iPLA2 and SOCE via the stimulation of a cAMP/PKA-dependent signal transduction cascade in rat coronary artery.

Abstract
Advances in our understanding of murine airway physiology have been hindered by the lack of suitable, ex vivo, small airway bioassay systems. In this study, we introduce a novel small murine airway bioassay system that permits the physiological and pharmacological study of intrapulmonary bronchial smooth muscle via a bronchial ring (BR) preparation utilizing BR segments as small as 200 microm in diameter. Using this ex vivo BR bioassay, we characterized small airway smooth muscle contraction and relaxation in the presence and absence of bronchial epithelium. In control BRs, the application of mechanical stretch is followed by spontaneous bronchial smooth muscle relaxation. BRs pretreated with methacholine (MCh) partially attenuate this stretch-induced relaxation by as much as 42% compared with control. MCh elicited a dose-dependent bronchial constriction with a maximal tension (E(max)) of 8.7 +/- 0.2 mN at an EC(50) of 0.33 +/- 0.02 microM. In the presence of nifedipine, ryanodine, 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate, and SKF-96365, E(max) to MCh was significantly reduced. In epithelium-denuded BRs, MCh-induced contraction was significantly enhanced to 11.4 +/- 1.0 mN with an EC(50) of 0.16 +/- 0.04 microM (P < 0.01). Substance P relaxed MCh-precontracted BR by 62.1%; however, this bronchial relaxation effect was completely lost in epithelium-denuded BRs. Papaverine virtually abolished MCh-induced constriction in both epithelium-intact and epithelium-denuded bronchial smooth muscle. In conclusion, this study introduces a novel murine small airway BR bioassay that allows for the physiological study of smooth muscle airway contractile responses that may aid in our understanding of the pathophysiology of asthma.
