Abstract
Maturation of the cardiovascular system is associated with crucial structural and functional remodeling. Thickening of the arterial wall, maturation of the sympathetic innervation, and switching of the mechanisms of arterial contraction from calcium-independent to calcium-dependent occur during postnatal development. All these processes promote an almost doubling of blood pressure from the moment of birth to reaching adulthood. This review focuses on the developmental alterations of potassium channels functioning as key smooth muscle membrane potential determinants and, consequently, vascular tone regulators. We present evidence that the pattern of potassium channel contribution to vascular control changes from Kir2, Kv1, Kv7 and TASK-1 channels to BKCa channels with maturation. The differences in the contribution of potassium channels to vasomotor tone at different stages of postnatal life should be considered in treatment strategies of cardiovascular diseases associated with potassium channel malfunction.

Abstract
VSMCs in resistance arteries and arterioles express a diverse array of KV channels with members of the KV 1, KV 2 and KV 7 families being particularly important. Members of the KV channel family: (i) are highly expressed in VSMCs; (ii) are active at the resting membrane potential of VSMCs in vivo (-45 to -30 mV); (iii) contribute to the negative feedback regulation of VSMC membrane potential and myogenic tone; (iv) are activated by cAMP-related vasodilators, hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen peroxide; (v) are inhibited by increases in intracellular Ca2+ and vasoconstrictors that signal through Gq -coupled receptors; (vi) are involved in the proliferative phenotype of VSMCs; and (vii) are modulated by diseases such as hypertension, obesity, the metabolic syndrome and diabetes. Thus, KV channels participate in every aspect of the regulation of VSMC function in both health and disease.

Abstract
Vascular tone of resistance arteries and arterioles determines peripheral vascular resistance, contributing to the regulation of blood pressure and blood flow to, and within the body's tissues and organs. Ion channels in the plasma membrane and endoplasmic reticulum of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in these blood vessels importantly contribute to the regulation of intracellular Ca2+ concentration, the primary determinant of SMC contractile activity and vascular tone. Ion channels provide the main source of activator Ca2+ that determines vascular tone, and strongly contribute to setting and regulating membrane potential, which, in turn, regulates the open-state-probability of voltage gated Ca2+ channels (VGCCs), the primary source of Ca2+ in resistance artery and arteriolar SMCs. Ion channel function is also modulated by vasoconstrictors and vasodilators, contributing to all aspects of the regulation of vascular tone. This review will focus on the physiology of VGCCs, voltage-gated K+ (KV) channels, large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (BKCa) channels, strong-inward-rectifier K+ (KIR) channels, ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channels, ryanodine receptors (RyRs), inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs), and a variety of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels that contribute to pressure-induced myogenic tone in resistance arteries and arterioles, the modulation of the function of these ion channels by vasoconstrictors and vasodilators, their role in the functional regulation of tissue blood flow and their dysfunction in diseases such as hypertension, obesity, and diabetes. © 2017 American Physiological Society.

Abstract
Potassium channels importantly contribute to the regulation of vascular smooth muscle (VSM) contraction and growth. They are the dominant ion conductance of the VSM cell membrane and importantly determine and regulate membrane potential. Membrane potential, in turn, regulates the open-state probability of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (VGCC), Ca2+ influx through VGCC, intracellular Ca2+, and VSM contraction. Membrane potential also affects release of Ca2+ from internal stores and the Ca2+ sensitivity of the contractile machinery such that K+ channels participate in all aspects of regulation of VSM contraction. Potassium channels also regulate proliferation of VSM cells through membrane potential-dependent and membrane potential-independent mechanisms. VSM cells express multiple isoforms of at least five classes of K+ channels that contribute to the regulation of contraction and cell proliferation (growth). This review will examine the structure, expression, and function of large conductance, Ca2+-activated K+ (BKCa) channels, intermediate-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (KCa3.1) channels, multiple isoforms of voltage-gated K+ (KV) channels, ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channels, and inward-rectifier K+ (KIR) channels in both contractile and proliferating VSM cells.

Abstract
Objective Peripheral arterial disease is one of the macrovascular complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study addresses femoral artery regulation in a prediabetic model of obese Zucker rats (OZR) by examining cross-talk between endothelial and neural factors. Methods and Results Arterial preparations from lean (LZR) and OZR were subjected to electrical field stimulation (EFS) on basal tone. Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and cyclooxygenase (COX) isoform expression patterns were determined by immunohistochemical labelling and Western blotting. Results indicate significantly reduced noradrenergic contractions in preparations from OZR compared with those of LZR. Functional inhibition of endothelial NOS (eNOS) indicated a predominant role of this isoform in LZR and its modified activity in OZR. Neural (nNOS) and inducible NOS (iNOS) were activated and their expression was higher in femoral arteries from OZR. Neurotransmission modulated by large-conductance Ca2+-activated (BKCa) or voltage-dependent (KV) K+ channels did not seem compromised in the obese animals. Endothelial COX-1 and COX-2 were expressed in LZR and an additional adventitial location of COX-2 was also observed in OZR, explaining the higher COX-2 protein levels detected in this group. Prostanoids derived from both isoforms helped maintain vasoconstriction in LZR while in OZR only COX-2 was active. Superoxide anion inhibition reduced contractions in endothelium-intact arteries from OZR. Conclusions Endothelial dysfunction led to reduced neurogenic vasoconstriction in femoral arteries from OZR. In a setting of obesity, NO-dependent nNOS and iNOS dilation activity could be an alternative mechanism to offset COX-2- and reactive oxygen species-mediated vasoconstriction, along with impaired endothelial NO relaxation.

Effect of wine polyphenol resveratrol on the contractions elicited electrically or by norepinephrine in the rat portal vein. Phytother Res 2013; 27:1685-93.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of resveratrol on rat portal vein (RPV) contractility without endothelium. Contractions were produced by electrical field stimulation of perivascular nerves (EFS), norepinephrine (NE), adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP), high K(+) solution and by calcium chloride (CaCl2 ) in Ca(2+) -free and high K(+) , Ca(2+) -free solution. The EFS-evoked contractions were more sensitive to resveratrol and to NS1619-selective openers of big calcium-sensitive (BKCa ) channels, than NE-evoked contractions. Effects of resveratrol on the ATP-evoked contractions were weak. Blockers of BKCa channels partly inhibited the effect of resveratrol only in EFS-contracted preparations. Western blotting showed that RPV expressed KCa 1.1 protein. Inhibitors of ATP- and voltage-sensitive K(+) channels did not modify the effects of resveratrol. None of the antagonists of K(+) channels affected the resveratrol inhibition of NE-evoked contractions and effect of high concentrations of resveratrol on the EFS-evoked contractions. Resveratrol more potently inhibited CaCl2 than potassium chloride contractions of RPV. Thus, BKCa channels partly mediate the inhibitory effect of resveratrol on the neurogenic contractions of RPV. The smooth muscle Ca(2+) channels and/or Ca(2+) mobilizing through cells might be involved in the effects of resveratrol on the contractility of RPV. Our results are important for better understanding the impact of resveratrol on the portal circulation.

Endothelial and neural factors functionally involved in the modulation of noradrenergic vasoconstriction in healthy pig internal mammary artery. Biochem Pharmacol 2012; 83:882-92.

Abstract
The role of endothelial and neural factors as modulators of neurogenic- and noradrenaline-induced vasoconstriction was examined in healthy pig internal mammary artery (IMA). Tetrodotoxin-, guanethidine-sensitive electrical field stimulation (EFS)-, and noradrenaline-elicited contractions were significantly diminished by prazosin (n=8, P<0.001) and less so by rauwolscine, indicating functional α₁- and α₂-adrenoceptor-mediated noradrenergic innervation of the IMA. Endothelium removal reduced neurogenic (n=8, P<0.01) but augmented noradrenaline responses (n=8, P<0.01), suggesting the release of two endothelium-dependent factors with opposite effects. In the presence of endothelium, neurogenic and exogenous noradrenaline vasoconstrictions were enhanced by L-NOArg (n=7, P<0.05 and P<0.01 respectively) and ODQ (n=7, both P<0.05); in denuded arteries, nNOS inhibition with N(ω)-propyl-L-arginine increased neurogenic contraction (n=7, P<0.05). Western blotting indicated the presence of neural and endothelial origin NO (n=6, P<0.001). Tetraethylammonium (n=9, P<0.001), iberiotoxin (n=7, P<0.001) and 4-aminopyridine (n=8, P<0.01) enhanced vasoconstrictions revealing a modulatory role of big conductance Ca²⁺-activated K⁺ (BK(Ca)) and voltage-dependent K⁺ (K(v)) channels in noradrenergic responses. Bosentan pretreatment (n=8, P<0.05) suggested endothelin-1 as the inferred contractile neurogenic endothelial-dependent factor. Indomethacin-induced inhibition involved a muscular prostanoid (n=9, P<0.05), functionally and immunologically localized, and derived from cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 and COX-2, as revealed by Western blots (n=5, P=0.1267). Thus, noradrenergic IMA contractions are controlled by contractile prostanoid activation and endothelin-1 release, and offset by BK(Ca) and K(v) channels and neural and endothelial NO. These results help clarify the mechanisms of vasospasm in IMA, as the preferred vessel for coronary bypass.

Abstract
This study was designed to determine whether K+ channels play a role in nitric oxide (NO)-dependent acetylcholine relaxation in porcine internal mammary artery (IMA). IMA segments were isolated and mounted in organ baths to record isometric tension. Acetylcholine-elicited vasodilation was abolished by muscarinic receptor blockade with atropine (10(-6)M). Incubation with indomethacin (3 x 10(-6)M), superoxide dismutase (150 U/ml) and bosentan (10(-5)M) did not modify the acetylcholine response ruling out the participation of cyclooxygenase-derivates, reactive oxygen species or endothelin. The relaxation response to acetylcholine was strongly diminished by NO synthase- or soluble guanylyl cyclase-inhibition using L-NOArg (10(-4)M) or ODQ (3 x 10(-6)M), respectively. The vasodilation induced by acetylcholine and a NO donor (NaNO(2)) was reduced when rings were contracted with an enriched K+ solution (30 mM), by voltage-dependent K+ (K(v)) channel blockade with 4-amynopiridine (4-AP; 10(-4)M), by Ca(2+)-activated K+ (K(Ca)) channel blockade with tetraethylammonium (TEA; 10(-3)M), and by apamin (5 x 10(-7)M) plus charybdotoxin (ChTx; 10(-7)M) but not when these were added alone. In contrast, large conductance K(Ca) (BK(Ca)), ATP-sensitive K+ (K(ATP)) and inwardly rectifying K+ (K(ir)) channel blockade with iberiotoxin (IbTx; 10(-7)M), glibenclamide (10(-6)M) and BaCl(2) (3 x 10(-5)M), respectively, did not alter the concentration-response curves to acetylcholine and NaNO(2). Na+-K+ ATPase pump inhibition with ouabain (10(-5)M) practically abolished acetylcholine and NaNO(2) relaxations. Our findings suggest that acetylcholine-induced relaxation is largely mediated through the NO-cGMP pathway, involving apamin plus ChTx-sensitive K+ and K(v) channels, and Na+-K+-ATPase pump activation.
