TRPC3 is involved in flow- and bradykinin-induced vasodilation in rat small mesenteric arteries.
TLDR
The results suggest that TRPC3 is involved in flow- and bradykinin-induced vasodilation in rat small mesenteric arteries probably by mediating the Ca2+ influx into endothelial cells.Abstract:
To test the possible involvement of TRPC3 in agonist-induced relaxation and flow-induced vasodilation in rat small mesenteric arteries. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were used in the present study. After 72 h-treatment of antisense oligo via tail vein injection, isometric tension and isobaric diameter measurement were carried out with isolated mesenteric artery segments by using either a Pressure Myograph or a Multi Myograph system. Endothelial [Ca2+]i changes were measured with a MetaFluor imaging system in response to flow or to 30 nmol/L bradykinin. Immunohistochemical study showed that the 72 h-treatment of antisense oligo via tail vein injection markedly decreased the TRPC3 expression in mesenteric arteries, indicating the effectiveness of the antisense oligo. Isometric tension and isobaric diameter measurement showed that, although the antisense oligo treatment did not affect histamine-, ATP-, and CPA-induced relaxation, it did reduce the magnitude of flow-induced vasodilation by approximately 13% and decreased bradykinin-induced vascular relaxation with its EC50 value raised by nearly 3-fold. Endothelial [Ca2+]i measurement revealed that treatment of the arteries with antisense oligos significantly attenuated the magnitude of endothelial [Ca2+]i rise in response to flow and to 30 nmol/L bradykinin. The results suggest that TRPC3 is involved in flow- and bradykinin-induced vasodilation in rat small mesenteric arteries probably by mediating the Ca2+ influx into endothelial cells.read more

TL;DR: PC1 and PC2 contribute to fluid-flow sensation by the primary cilium in renal epithelium and that they both function in the same mechanotransduction pathway, suggesting loss or dysfunction of PC1 or PC2 may lead to polycystic kidney disease.

TL;DR: A store-operated Ca2+ current is described in vascular endothelium and it is shown that endothelial cells of mice deficient in TRP4 (also known as CCE1) lack this current, showing that TRP 4 is an indispensable component of store- operated channels in native endothelial Cells and that these channels directly provide an Ca2-entry pathway essentially contributing to the regulation of blood vessel tone.

Flow activates an endothelial potassium channel to release an endogenous nitrovasodilator.
TL;DR: The data suggest that transmission of a hyperpolarizing current from endothelium to the vascular smooth muscle is not necessary for flow-mediated vasodilation, and that activation of this channel leads to the release of the endogenous nitrovasodilator, nitric oxide.
