Discrete store-operated calcium influx into an intracellular compartment in rabbit arteriolar smooth muscle

R. Flemming, A. Cheong, A. M. Dedman and D. J. Beech

This study tested the hypothesis that store-operated channels (SOCs) exist as a discrete population of Ca²⁺ channels activated by depletion of intracellular Ca²⁺ stores in cerebral arteriolar smooth muscle cells and explored their direct contractile function. Using the Ca²⁺ indicator fura-PE3 it was observed that depletion of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca²⁺ by inhibition of SR Ca²⁺-ATPase (SERCA) led to sustained elevation of [Ca²⁺]_i that depended on extracellular Ca²⁺ and slightly enhanced Mn²⁺ entry. Enhanced background Ca²⁺ influx did not explain the raised [Ca²⁺]_i in response to SERCA inhibitors because it had marked gadolinium (Gd³⁺) sensitivity, which background pathways did not. Effects were not secondary to changes in membrane potential. Thus SR Ca²⁺ depletion activated SOCs. Strikingly, SOC-mediated Ca²⁺ influx did not evoke constriction of the arterioles, which were in a resting state. This was despite the fura-PE3-indicated [Ca²⁺]_i rise being greater than that evoked by 20 mM [K⁺]_o (which did cause constriction). Release of endothelial vasodilators did not explain the absence of SOC-mediated constriction, nor did a change in Ca²⁺ sensitivity of the contractile proteins. We suggest SOCs are a discrete subset of Ca²⁺ channels allowing Ca²⁺ influx into a 'non-contractile' compartment in cerebral arteriolar smooth muscle cells.
