Abstract

The aim of the study was to investigate the role of protein kinase C (PKC) in changes in myofilament Ca2+-sensitivity of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) in rats at different vasospastic states: hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction, genetically determined hypertension, and hypertension resulted from ionizing radiation. All vasospastic states demonstrated rightward shifts in pCa-tension curves suggesting that myofilament Ca2+-sensitivity had increased. In chemically (?-es- cin) skinned pulmonary artery, hypoxia-induced increase in myofilament Ca2+-sensitivity was completely abolished by PKC inhibitor chelerythrine. The similar results were demon- strated in skinned aorta SMC of spontaneously hypertensive rats where an increase in myofilament Ca2+-sensitivity was also abolished by PKC inhibitors chelerythrine and stauro- sporine. The chelerythrine partially inhibited myofilament Ca2+-sensitivity that had increased following ?-radiation. The data suggest the key role of PKC activity in modulation of myofilament Ca2+-sensitivity in SMC. We conclude that PKC- mediated increase in myofilament Ca2+-sensitivity is one of the main mechanisms which contribute to the vasospasm of different genesis.
