Abstract:
In arterial vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), Ca(2+) sparks stimulate nearby Ca(2+)-activated K(+) (BK) channels that hyperpolarize the membrane and close L-type Ca(2+) channels. We tested the contribution of L-type Ca(v)1.2 channels to Ca(2+) spark regulation in tibial and cerebral artery VSMCs using VSMC-specific Ca(v)1.2 channel gene disruption in (SMAKO) mice and an approach based on Poisson statistical analysis of activation frequency and first latency of elementary events. Ca(v)1.2 cha...     »
