OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether the distribution of intracellular free calcium may be impaired in primary hypertension. DESIGN: Cytosolic free calcium and stored calcium were investigated in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells from spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). METHODS: The concentrations of intracellular and stored calcium were investigated in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells from spontaneously hypertensive rats aged 6 months from the Münster strain (SHR) and from age-matched normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats. Vascular smooth muscle cells were grown on coverslips, and fluorescence measurements of the intracellular calcium concentration were performed using fura-2. The different effects of thapsigargin, a selective Ca-ATPase inhibitor, and of angiotensin II (Ang II) on the calcium storage pools were investigated. RESULTS: In the absence of external calcium thapsigargin produced a dose-dependent transient increase in the concentration of intracellular calcium in vascular smooth muscle cells. The thapsigargin-induced maximum peak increase in the concentration of intracellular calcium was not significantly different in SHR and WKY rats. After depletion of the thapsigargin-sensitive calcium pools the addition of 100 nmol/l Ang II produced a rise in the concentration of intracellular calcium in vascular smooth muscle cells from SHR and WKY rats. Using vascular smooth muscle cells from the SHR the Ang II-induced increase in the concentration of intracellular calcium was not significantly different in the presence and absence of thapsigargin, indicating that the calcium pools depleted by thapsigargin and Ang II do not overlap significantly in vascular smooth muscle cells from SHR. In contrast, in the WKY rats the response to Ang II was significantly diminished after depletion of the thapsigargin-sensitive pool. When Ang II and thapsigargin were administered in the reverse order, i.e. Ang II before thapsigargin, the thapsigargin response was diminished in the WKY rats but not in the SHR. CONCLUSION: SHR differ from WKY rats in having vascular smooth muscle cells that contain thapsigargin-sensitive calcium storage pools that are distinct from the Ang II-sensitive calcium pools. 相似文献

Hybrid materials consisting of organic semiconductors and molecular quantum bits promise to provide a novel platform for quantum spintronic applications. However, investigations of such materials, elucidating both the electrical and quantum dynamical properties of the same material have never been reported. Here the preparation of hybrid materials consisting of conducting polymers and molecular quantum bits is reported. Organic field-effect transistor measurements demonstrate that the favorable electrical properties are preserved in the presence of the qubits. Chemical doping introduces charge carriers into the material, and variable-temperature charge transport measurements reveal the existence of mobile charge carriers at temperatures as low as 15 K. Importantly, quantum coherence of the qubit is shown to be preserved up to temperatures of at least 30 K, that is, in the presence of mobile charge carriers. These results pave the way for employing such hybrid materials in novel molecular quantum spintronic architectures. 相似文献
