Abstract
BACKGROUND Thromboxane A2 (TXA2 ) participates in many pathophysiological processes of coronary artery disease. However, its mechanism of TXA2 -induced contraction in the coronary artery remains to be clarified. A multi myograph system was used to measure the isometric tension of the mouse coronary arteries and identify the effect and pathway of TXA2 analogues U46619. Confocal laser scanning microscopy was used to measure the intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+ ]i ) in mouse coronary artery smooth muscle cells. Results from the experiment had shown that contraction in coronary artery was generated by U46619 in a concentration-dependent manner, which was completely abolished by a specific TXA2 receptor blocker, GR32191. PI-PLC inhibitors U73122 and D609 and Rho-Kinase inhibitor Y-27632 can block the U46619 elicited coronary artery contraction in a dose-dependent manner. Then, the vasoconstriction response to U46619 was obviously inhibited by two pan-PKC inhibitors chelerythrine or Gӧ6983, and a selective PKCδ inhibitor rottlerin, but was not blocked by a selective PKCζ inhibitor PKC-PS or a selective PKCβ inhibitor hispidin. Meanwhile, the PKC activator PDBu-induced vasoconstriction was significantly inhibited by 1 μmol/L nifedipine, then mostly inhibited by 100 μmol/L 2-APB and 10 μmol/L Y27632. We further found that the response to U46619 was inhibited, respectively, by three calcium channel blockers nifedipine, SKF96356 or 2-APB in a concentration-dependent manner. Although Store-operated Ca2+ (SOC) channels generated the increase of [Ca2+ ]i in mouse coronary artery smooth muscle cells, SOC channels did not contribute to the vasoconstriction in mouse coronary arteries. Caffeine-induced sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ release could obviously induce coronal vasoconstriction. In addition, NPPB, a cell membrane Ca2+ activated C1- channel blocker, could obviously inhibit the U46619-induced vasoconstriction. The U46619-induced mouse coronary artery contraction was involved in the increase in [Ca2+ ]i mediated by Cav1.2, TRPC channels and SR release through the activation of G-protein-coupled TP receptors and the kinases signalling pathway in TP downstream proteins, while SOC channels did not participate in the vasoconstriction.

THE KOREAN JOURNAL OF PHYSIOLOGY & PHARMACOLOGY : OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE KOREAN PHYSIOLOGICAL SOCIETY AND THE KOREAN SOCIETY OF PHARMACOLOGY 2017; 21:591-598. [PMID: 29200901 PMCID: PMC5709475 DOI: 10.4196/kjpp.2017.21.6.591] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2016] [Revised: 03/05/2017] [Accepted: 03/11/2017] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Propofol is known to cause vasorelaxation of several systemic vascular beds. However, its effect on the pulmonary vasculature remains controversial. In the present study, we investigated the effects of propofol on human pulmonary arteries obtained from patients who had undergone surgery. Arterial rings were mounted in a Multi-Myograph system for measurement of isometric forces. U46619 was used to induce sustained contraction of the intrapulmonary arteries, and propofol was then applied (in increments from 10–300 µM). Arteries denuded of endothelium, preincubated or not with indomethacin, were used to investigate the effects of propofol on isolated arteries. Propofol exhibited a bifunctional effect on isolated human pulmonary arteries contracted by U46619, evoking constriction at low concentrations (10–100 µM) followed by secondary relaxation (at 100–300 µM). The extent of constriction induced by propofol was higher in an endothelium-denuded group than in an endothelium-intact group. Preincubation with indomethacin abolished constriction and potentiated relaxation. The maximal relaxation was greater in the endothelium-intact than the endothelium-denuded group. Propofol also suppressed CaCl2-induced constriction in the 60 mM K+-containing Ca2+-free solution in a dose-dependent manner. Fluorescent imaging of Ca2+ using fluo-4 showed that a 10 min incubation with propofol (10–300 µM) inhibited the Ca2+ influx into human pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells induced by a 60 mM K+-containing Ca2+-free solution. In conclusion, propofol-induced arterial constriction appears to involve prostaglandin production by cyclooxygenase in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells and the relaxation depends in part on endothelial function, principally on the inhibition of calcium influx through L-type voltage-operated calcium channels.

Suzuki K, Saito SY, Ishikawa T. Involvement of phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C in thromboxane A₂ receptor-mediated extracellular Ca²⁺ influx in rat aorta. Eur J Pharmacol 2011; 677:123-30.

Abstract
An involvement of signal transduction other than phosphatidylinositol turnover in thromboxane A(2) receptor (TP receptor)-mediated vascular contraction was investigated in rat aorta. The contraction induced by U46619, a TP receptor agonist, at low concentrations (≤ 30 nM) was partially inhibited by verapamil, an inhibitor of voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channels (VDCC), and was further diminished in Ca(2+)-free solution. Twenty nanomolar of U46619 induced contraction and elevation of intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)), which were consisted of two phases; slowly developing first phase followed by quickly rising second phase. The second phase was inhibited by verapamil, and all the [Ca(2+)](i) response was abolished in Ca(2+)-free solution. The contraction and [Ca(2+)](i) elevation induced by 20 nM U46619 were not inhibited by U73122, an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C, or GF109203X, a protein kinase C inhibitor, but were abolished by D609, an inhibitor of phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C (PC-PLC). However, D609 had no effect on those induced by 1 μM phenylephrine. The U46619-induced responses were also partially inhibited by cation channel blockers, 2-APB and LOE908. The inhibition by LOE908 was abolished in the presence of verapamil, suggesting that LOE908-sensitive cation channels lead to the activation of VDCC by depolarizing plasma membrane. In contrast, 2-APB further diminished the U46619-induced [Ca(2+)](i) elevation in the presence of verapamil. In conclusion, TP receptor stimulation is suggested to be coupled with PC-PLC. Diacylglycerol produced by PC-PLC seems to activate two types of cation channels independently of PKC, which in turn leads to VDCC-dependent and independent Ca(2+) influx, thereby eliciting contraction.

Abstract
We examined the mechanisms underlying anion secretion mediated by protease-activated receptor 2 (PAR2) and its role in the regulation of ion transport, using polarized human airway Calu-3 cells. PAR2 stimulation by trypsin and a PAR2-activating peptide (PAR2AP), especially from the basolateral aspect, caused transient Cl(-) secretion due to cytosolic Ca(2+) mobilization. Antagonists of PI-PLC (U73122, ET-18-OCH(3)) and inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (xestospongin C (Xest C)) were without effect on the PAR2AP-mediated Cl(-) secretion, whereas it was attenuated by D609 (a PC-PLC inhibitor) and phorbol 12-myristate 13 acetate (PMA, a PKC activator). Even 30 min after removal of PAR2AP after a 10-min-exposure, cells were still poorly responsive to PAR2 stimulation, but the reduced responsiveness was upregulated by a PKC inhibitor, GF109203X (GFX). Pretreatment with PAR2AP did not affect responses to anion secretagogues, such as isoproterenol, forskolin, thapsigargin, 1-ethyl-2-benzimdazolinone, and adenosine, but ATP-induced responses were significantly reduced. Nystatin permeabilization studies revealed that the presence of PAR2AP prevented ATP-induced increments in basolateral membrane K(+) conductance without affecting apical membrane Cl(-) conductance. ATP-elicited Ca(2+) mobilization, which was sensitive to D609 and PMA, was inhibited by the pretreatment with PAR2AP, and this inhibition was blunted by the presence of GFX. Collectively, stimulation of PAR2 generates a brief response of Cl(-) secretion through PC-PLC-mediated pathway, followed by not only auto-desensitization of PAR2 itself but also cross-desensitization of a PC-PLC-coupled purinoceptor. The two types of desensitization seem likely to have PKC-mediated downregulation of PC-PLC in common.
