Calcium Channels in Vascular Smooth Muscle

Abstract: Calcium (Ca2+) plays a central role in excitation, contraction, transcription, and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMs). Precise regulation of intracellular Ca2+concentration ([Ca2+]i) is crucial for proper physiological VSM function. Studies over the last several decades have revealed that VSMs express a variety of Ca2+-permeable channels that orchestrate a dynamic, yet finely tuned regulation of [Ca2+]i. In this review, we discuss the major Ca2+-permeable channels expressed in VSM and their c… Show more

“…Functional TRP channels are composed of four subunits, each with six membrane-spanning helices that can exist in a homomeric or heteromeric form. Vascular smooth muscle cells express a number of these channels, including members of the TRPC, TRPV, TRPM, and TRPP subfamilies [7,9]. The function of TRP channels in vascular smooth muscle ranges from regulating contractility to modulating the proliferative state of the cells.…”

“…PKC activity inhibits TRPC3 channels and activates TRPM4 and TRPV4 channels in smooth muscle [7,9,21,24]. TRPM4 activation by PKC proceeds, at least in part, by stimulating channel trafficking and membrane translocation via a mechanism requiring PKCδ [25].…”

“…They transduce membrane depolarization into an increase in [Ca 2+ ] i by activating a Ca 2+ influx down its large electrochemical gradient. By increasing [Ca 2+ ] i , VOCCs play important roles in the regulation of contractility, vascular tone and gene expression in VSMCs (Jackson, 2000;Ghosh et al, 2017).…”
