Abstract
By the use of fura-2 and digital imaging techniques, [K]o depolarization or PAF (10(-9) M) were shown to induce a sustained increase of [Ca]i in human or canine single aortic vascular endothelial cells (VEC) that was insensitive to nifedipine but sensitive to (-)-PN200-110 or to lowering of [Ca]o. The PAF-induced effect on [Ca]i was blocked by the PAF receptor antagonist, WEB2170. Our results suggest that [K]o depolarization and PAF increase [Ca]i via the activation of R-type Ca2+ channels.Entities:
