The effects of a whole series of adenine nucleotides on Ins(1,4,5)P3-induced Ca2+ release were characterized in permeabilized A7r5 smooth-muscle cells. Several adenine nucleotides activated the Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor. It was observed that 3′-phosphoadenosine 5′-phosphosulphate, CoA, di(adenosine-5′)tetraphosphate (Ap4A) and di(adenosine-5′)pentaphosphate (Ap5A) were more effective than ATP. Ap4A and Ap5A also interacted with a lower EC50 than ATP. In order to find out how these adenine nucleotides affected Ins(1,4,5)P3-induced Ca2+ release, we have measured their effect on the response of permeabilized A7r5 cells to a progressively increasing Ins(1,4,5)P3 concentration. Stimulatory ATP and Ap5A concentrations had no effect on the threshold Ins(1,4,5)P3 concentration for initiating Ca2+ release, but they stimulated Ca2+ release in the presence of supra-threshold Ins(1,4,5)P3 concentrations by increasing the co-operativity of the release process. Inhibition of the Ins(1,4,5)P3-induced Ca2+ release at higher ATP concentrations was associated with a further increase in co-operativity and also with a shift in threshold towards higher Ins(1,4,5)P3 concentrations. ATP had no effect on the non-specific Ca2+ leak in the absence of Ins(1,4,5)P3. We conclude that the adenine-nucleotide-binding site can be activated by many different adenine nucleotides. Binding of these compounds to the transducing domain of the Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor increases the efficiency of transmitting Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding to channel opening. The inhibition by high ATP concentrations is exerted at a different site, related to Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding.

Effects of adenine nucleotides on the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)-induced Ca release (IICR) mechanism were studied in smooth muscle cells of the guinea pig portal vein. A microfluorometry method of fura-2 was used to measure Ca release from saponin-skinned thin muscle strips (width approximately 200 microns, thickness 50-70 microns, length 2-3 mm). About 80% of ionomycin-releasable Ca store was sensitive to IP3, of which approximately 20% was also sensitive to caffeine. The rate of Ca release by 0.1 microM IP3 depended biphasically on ATP concentration in the absence of Mg2+; it was dose-dependently enhanced by ATP up to approximately 0.5 mM, and above this concentration the enhancement became smaller. However, the decline of enhancement of the IICR at the higher ATP concentrations was absent at IP3 concentrations greater than 1 microM. This suggests competitive antagonism between IP3 and ATP. Clear effects of ATP were observed not only at pCa 7 or 8, where the Ca-induced Ca release was not activated, but after a ryanodine treatment to excise the functional compartment that possessed the Ca-induced Ca release mechanism. ATP had no effect on the rate of Ca leakage in the absence of IP3 even at pCa 5.5 after the ryanodine treatment. Therefore, ATP has direct biphasic effects on the IP3-induced Ca release mechanism. The Ca release induced by 0.1 microM IP3 at pCa 7 was potentiated not only by ATP, but by 0.5 mM ADP, AMP, or beta, gamma-methyleneadenosine 5'-triphosphate. 0.5 mM GTP had only a little effect on the IP3-induced Ca release. These results extend the functional similarities between Ca- and IP3-induced Ca release mechanisms in that adenine nucleotides enhance Ca release. Millimolar concentration of ATP, which is present physiologically, will shift the dose-response relation of IP3 toward the higher IP3 concentration and enhance the maximal effect of IP3. Thus, ATP is expected to assist the Ca release by higher concentrations of IP3 while having less effect on the Ca release by low levels of IP3. These effects of ATP may be important in the switching of Ca release from the intracellular Ca store by IP3.

The kinetic properties of Na+/H+ exchange were investigated in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) in culture from normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Antiport activity was measured in 2',7'-bis(carboxyethyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein-loaded cells after nigericin-induced cytosolic acidification. Studies were performed without (control) and with pretreatment of the cells with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA; 200 nM). Na+/H+ exchange markedly differed between the two strains with lower Hill coefficients [1.56 +/- 0.17 (SE) vs. 2.62 +/- 0.36] and higher maximal activity (Vmax) values (55.85 +/- 5.24 vs. 31.11 +/- 2.38 mmol H+.l-1.min-1) in SHR compared with WKY cell lines. PMA markedly altered the antiport kinetics in WKY VSMC with a decrease in the Hill coefficient (1.75 +/- 0.14) without affecting Vmax (31.88 +/- 1.55 mmol H+.l-1.min-1). In VSMC from SHR, PMA had no effect on the kinetic variables investigated. Thus two kinetic abnormalities are present with respect to Na+/H+ antiport activity in VSMC from SHR compared with WKY, i.e., increased Vmax and decreased Hill coefficient. The observation that PMA does not affect the kinetics of the Na+/H+ antiport in VSMC from SHR suggests a marked degree of antiporter prestimulation in this animal model of genetic hypertension.

A technique is described which has enabled us to measure changes in 22Na+ efflux from smooth muscle plasma membrane vesicles. The resting 22Na+ efflux from these sealed vesicles showed a concentration-dependent increase in response to acetylcholine and other muscarinic agonists, in similar concentrations to those which increased 42K+ efflux in whole muscle. The kinetics of this efflux were complex and could not be described by less than three exponential processes. The response to agonists has, therefore, been characterized by measurement of the half-life of 22Na+ efflux (t1/2). The acetylcholine effect was inhibited by atropine, but unlike the situation in the whole muscle, this inhibition was noncompetitive. Tubocuraine (a nicotinic antagonist) had no effect on this acetylcholine response. Atropine has no effect by itself on the resting 22Na+ efflux, neither did tetrodotoxin or ouabain. 22Na+ efflux from erythrocyte ghosts and liposomes, prepared from lipid extracts of the smooth muscle plasma membrane, was not modified by acetylcholine or atropine.
