Role of Extracellular Ca 2+ in Subarachnoid Hemorrhage−Induced Spasm of the Rabbit Basilar Artery

Abstract: These results demonstrate that the maintenance of chronic spasm in the two-hemorrhage rabbit model after SAH is due to smooth muscle cell contractile mechanisms partly dependent on the influx of extracellular Ca2+. The influx of extracellular Ca2+ results from the opening of L-type Ca2+ channels and an additional channel or channels. We speculate that the L-type Ca2+ channel-independent influx of extracellular Ca2+ results from the opening of SOCs. The Ca(2+)-dependent characteristics of the spasm likely refle… Show more

“…The findings are also consistent with findings that ET-1-induced vasospasm in arteries of a two-haemorrhage rabbit model was due to Ca 2 þ influx through VOCs and SOCs (Zuccarello et al, 1996a).…”

“…On the other hand, complete reversal of CPA-enhanced PE responses by the ␣-AR antagonist prazosin, suggested to us that CPA-induced Ca 2ϩ elevation may alter ET A receptor-mediated responses, which we earlier reported its predominant role in subarachnoid hemorrhage-induced basilar artery spasm (40).…”

“…Furthermore, ET-1-induced force generation was only partially sensitive to verapamil, whereas it was abolished by Ni 2ϩ addition in rat aorta (Fig. 4), rabbit basilar artery, and rat caudal artery (6,40), suggesting the predominant involvement of NSCCs in ET receptor activation. Verapamil sensitivity could be explained by the membrane depolarization induced by massive SOC entry and reverse activation of Na ϩ /Ca 2ϩ exchanger.…”

“…A low flow rate or a short-term increase in flow would enhance ET-1 production, whereas a high flow rate or a long-term decrease in flow would diminish ET-1 production. 15 Endothelin-1 might be involved in several pathological situations such as preeclampsia, 18 renal dysfunction, 19,20 sepsis, 21 heart failure, 22 atherosclerosis, 16 cerebral vasospasm, 23,24 and aging. 25 In spontaneous hypertension, the role of ET-1 is still a matter of debate.…”
