PKA-dependent activation of the vascular smooth muscle isoform of KATP channels by vasoactive intestinal polypeptide and its effect on relaxation of the mesenteric resistance artery

Abstract: Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) is a potent vasodilator and has been successfully used to alleviate hypertension. Consistently, disruption of VIP gene in mice leads to hypertension. However, its downstream targets in the vascular regulation are still not well demonstrated. To test the hypothesis that the vascular smooth muscle isoform of KATP channels is a downstream target of the VIP signaling, we performed the studies on the Kir6.1/SUR2B channel expressed in HEK293 cells. We found that the channel wa… Show more

“…In rat aortic smooth muscle, however, all potassium channels were reported to be responsible for about 80% relaxation induced by the ER␤ activator diarylpropionitrile (ER␤ selective ligand) and mediated by PKA (68). In rat mesenteric artery, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide caused relaxation through PKA-stimulated K ATP channels (73). Storeoperated Ca 2ϩ entry was also demonstrated to be involved in coronary artery relaxation mediated by a PKA-dependent mechanism under urocortin treatment (62).…”

“…The K ATP channels are expressed in almost all tissues. In vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs), activation of K ATP channels by several vasodilators reduces SMC membrane excitability, leading to vasorelaxation (3,4). Activity of the channels is inhibited by vasoconstrictors (5), resulting in depolarization of the SMCs and vasoconstriction.…”

“…Several groups of channel openers activate the channel, including pharmacological K ATP channel openers (KCOs, e.g. pinacidil and nicorandil) (12), metabolites (MgADP, acidosis) (13,14), and hormonal vasodilators and neurotransmitters (calcitonin gene-related peptide, epoxyeicosatrienoic acids, ␤-adrenergic receptor agonists, and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide) (5,(15)(16)(17). KCOs and Mg 2ϩ nucleotides activate the K ATP channels via binding to the SUR subunits (12,18).…”
