The effect of [Na+]i and [Na+]o on Ca2+ mobilization in the rat aortic smooth muscle cell line A7r5.

Abstract:

:Measurements of intracellular calcium (Ca2+i) and sodium (Na+i) have been made in single smooth muscle cells in confluent cultures of the A7r5 cell line using the Ca(2+)- and Na(+)-sensitive dyes Fura-2 and sodium-binding benzofuran isophthalate (SBFI). Reversal of the Na+ gradient in control cells results in a small increase in Ca2+i and slows the rate of recovery in Ca2+i following agonist stimulation. This suggests that a Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange mechanism may be functioning in these cells. In ouabain-pretreated cells, Na+i is elevated and the recovery from agonist stimulation is significantly slowed. This suggests that the elevation of Na+i alters Ca2+ homeostasis. Reversal of the Na+ gradient in ouabain-pretreated cells results in a transient increase in Ca2+i which was larger than in control cells. This response is reduced during a second or third exposure to zero Na+o.NA+i, in Na(+)-loaded cells, falls in the absence of external Na+. This fall is slowed in the absence of external Ca2+ supporting the idea that the Na+ loss is via Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange. The possible modulation of the Na(+)-Ca2+ exchanger and Ca2+ mobilization by internal Na+ is discussed.
