  9. Involvement of ion channels in the regulation of cholinergic excitation in gastrointestinal tract Koh SD, Rhee PLJ Neurogastroenterol Motil. 2013;19(4):426-32. Possible post-junctional mechanisms responsible for cholinergic excitation. Acetylcholine (ACh) is coupled to Gq/11 protein and activates conductance(s) through inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate receptor (IP3R) in interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) and smooth muscle cells (SMC). ACh might also be coupled to G12/13 protein and activate Rho-Kinase (RhoK) pathway to induce contraction in SMC.

  14. Subfamily members of voltage dependent K+ channels (Kv.7 and Kv.11) in the regulation of uterinal tone Greenwood IA, Tribe RM.Exp Physiol. 2014;99(3):503-9 Left-hand panel shows that open K+ channels result in membrane hyperpolarization that indirectly limits the opening of voltage-dependent calcium channels shown in blue. This results in a less contracted smooth muscle. In the right-hand panel, the potassium channels are non-functional due to blockade, loss-of-function mutations or trafficking defects. This leads to membrane depolariziation, and the open probability of the calcium channels increases. The concomitant influx of calcium contributes to smooth muscle contraction.

  15. Transient receptor potential channels (TRPC) in smooth muscle cells – link to intracellular signaling Gonzalez-Cobos JC1, Trebak M,Front Biosci (Landmark Ed). 2010 Jun 1;15:1023-3 The engagement of a vasoactive compound/growth factor receptor in vascular smooth muscle cells leads to the activation of phospholipase C (PLC) which catalyzes the breakdown of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) into two intracellular second messengers, the Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and Diacylglycerol (DAG). IP3-mediated Ca2+ store depletion activates store-operated Orai1 channels in a mechanism dependent on STIM1 aggregation and translocation into areas of close SR-PM contacts. The role of TRPC channels in mediating SOC channels remains to this day a highly contentious issue. All TRPC are Activated by mechanisms downstream of PLC; TRPC3/6/7 have been shown to be activated by DAG in a PKC independent manner while TRPC1/4/5 exact mechanisms of activation via membrane receptors is still unclear and seems to involve PIP2 breakdown and Ca2+. Na+entry through nonselective TRPC channels has been proposed to couple to activation of Ca2+ entry either through the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) or via depolarization and subsequent activation of L-type Ca2+ channels. Increasing evidence supports a signaling paradigm in which Ca2+ signals mediated by specific TRPC isoforms are able to activate transcription factors in smooth muscle that act to increase the corresponding TRPC channel expression.

  19. Endothelial nitric oxide influence the tone through modulation of ion channels in smooth muscle cell of human umbilical artery Martin P. et al., Reprod Sci. 2014 April; 21(4): 432–441.

Intermediate conductance Ca2+-sensitive K+ channels (IKCa), and ATP-sensitive K+ channels (KATP) are not include because the evidence about their presence in HUA is either weak (KATP) or altogether not present in the literature (IKCa). 1/ basal tone, 2/ agonist-induced contraction 3/ regulation by endothelium

  20. Some basic properties of ionic regulation of smooth muscle tone • Smooth muscle function is mainly regulated by the voltage operated (or dependent, or gated) calcium channels (VOCC or VDCC or VDC or VGCC) • Typically, a large majority of other ion channels modulate membrane potential that regulates VOCC • Most types of smooth muscle cells are „electrically silent”- in contrast to nerves or skeletal muscles-; no action potential is generated (resting membrane potential is about -50 mV) • Ion channels maintain resting (basal) tension, modulate agonist-induced contractions and vasodilations by endothelial/interstitial cell-derived factors

  21. Current research • Research focuses mainly on K+ channels in the regulation of smooth muscle tone of different organs (vascular, bronchial, uterinal) – an exception may be the gastrointestinal tract • A typical ion channel is still considered to be a receptor without cellular effector, however, some ion channels reveal a complex interaction with intracellular signaling mechanisms. This ‘crosstalk’ may lead to changes of cellular phenotype in addition to modify an immediate change in tone of smooth muscle cells (see TRPC channels)

  22. Questions 1/ Which ion is mainly responsible for the contraction of a smooth muscle cell? (Ca++) 2/ List some important ion channels – other than Ca2+ channel- that play roles in regulating the tone of smooth muscle cells! (K+ channels, Cl- channels, Store-operated channels, Stretch-activated channels) 3/ How K+ and Cl- channels regulate the tone of smooth muscle cells? (activation of K+ channels relaxes, that of Cl- channels contracts smooth muscles via modulation of membrane potential) 4/ List some known common ion channels that regulate the tone of bronchial, urinary and uterinal smooth muscles! (Ca2+ channels, K+ channels, Store-operated channels, Stretch-activated channels)

  23. Questions 5/ Which ion channels appear to be important in cholinergic excitation of gastrointestinal smooth muscles? (Calcium-activated Cl- channels, Non-selective cation channels) 6/ What are K2P channels and which type of tissue is known to be regulated by these channels? (uterinal smooth muscle, in another word: myometrial tissue) 7/ How may pregnancy affect the function of K+ channels? (activates K+ channels– relaxation of the uterus) 8/ What kind of K+ ion channel is involved in a ‘crosstalk’ between plasma membrane and sarcoplasmic reticulum of smooth muscle cells? (BKCa) 9/ How do protein kinases influence K+ channels in smooth muscles according to our present knowledge? (PKA and PKG activate, PKC inhibits)
