Impact of Aging on Calcium Signaling and Membrane Potential in Endothelium of Resistance Arteries: A Role for Mitochondria

Abstract: Impaired blood flow to peripheral tissues during advanced age is associated with endothelial dysfunction and diminished bioavailability of nitric oxide (NO). However, it is unknown whether aging impacts coupling between intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) signaling and small- and intermediate K+ channel (SKCa/IKCa) activity during endothelium-derived hyperpolarization (EDH), a signaling pathway integral to dilation of the resistance vasculature. To address the potential impact of aging on EDH, Fura-2 photometry an… Show more

“…Excessive synthesis of reactive oxygen species (ROS) intensifies peroxynitrite formation, which disturbs endothelial nitric oxide synthase function and NO-mediated endothelial dilatation, resulting in hypertension [ 33 , 34 ]. Properly functioning mitochondria provide an efficient anti-oxidative system in the form of SOD and CAT activity, which prevents excessive ROS formation [ 35 , 36 ].…”

“…Alterations in ER loading and the release of Ca 2+ are associated with aging. For example, in aged mice, stimulation with a neurotransmitter (acetylcholine) significantly increased the intracellular release of Ca 2+ from the ER [121]. Furthermore, aged cells with an interrupted Ca 2+ balance demonstrated an impaired ER response to stress conditions [122].…”
