However, ACh can differentially activate K(Ca)3.1 and K(Ca)2.3 channels, and we investigated the mechanisms responsible in rat mesenteric arteries. K(Ca)3.1 channel input to EDHF hyperpolarization was enhanced by reducing external [Ca(2+)](o) but blocked either with forskolin to activate protein kinase A or by limiting smooth muscle [Ca(2+)](i) increases stimulated by phenylephrine depolarization. Imaging [Ca(2+)](i) within the endothelial cell projections forming myoendothelial gap junctions revealed increases in cytoplasmic [Ca(2+)](i) during endothelial stimulation with ACh that were unaffected by simultaneous increases in muscle [Ca(2+)](i) evoked by phenylephrine. If gap junctions were uncoupled, K(Ca)3.1 channels became the predominant input to EDHF hyperpolarization, and relaxation was inhibited with ouabain, implicating a crucial link through Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase. There was no evidence for an equivalent link through K(Ca)2.3 channels nor between these channels and the putative EDHF pathway involving natriuretic peptide receptor-C. Reconstruction of confocal z-stack images from pressurized arteries revealed K(Ca)2.3 immunostain at endothelial cell borders, including endothelial cell projections, whereas K(Ca)3.1 channels and Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase alpha(2)/alpha(3) subunits were highly concentrated in endothelial cell projections and adjacent to myoendothelial gap junctions. Thus, extracellular [Ca(2+)](o) appears to modify K(Ca)3.1 channel activity through a protein kinase A-dependent mechanism independent of changes in endothelial [Ca(2+)](i). The resulting hyperpolarization links to arterial relaxation largely through Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase, possibly reflecting K(+) acting as an EDHF. In contrast, K(Ca)2.3 hyperpolarization appears mainly to affect relaxation through myoendothelial gap junctions. Overall, these data suggest that K(+) and myoendothelial coupling evoke EDHF-mediated relaxation through distinct, definable pathways."xsd:string |
