Abstract: | AIM: To observe the regulatory effects of Rho-kinase, PKC and PKG on calcium sensitivity of vascular smooth muscle in hemorrhagic shock in rats. METHODS: The superior mesenteric artery (SMA) from hemorrhagic shock model of rat was adopted to assay the calcium sensitivity via observing the contraction initiated by Ca2+ under depolarizing conditions (120 mmol/L K+) with isolated organ perfusion system. Rho-kinase agonist Ang-Ⅱ and inhibitor fasudil, PKC agonist PMA and inhibitor staurosporine, PKG agonist 8Br-cGMP and inhibitor KT-5823 were used as tool agents to study the regulatory effect of Rho-kinase, PKC and PKG on the calcium sensitivity of SMA following shock. RESULTS: Ang-Ⅱ, PMA and KT-5823 improved the calcium sensitivity of SMA and made the cumulative dose-response curve of SMA to Ca2+ shift to the left, their Emax of Ca2+ (at 3×10-2 mol/L) was 0.630 g/mg, 0.595 g/mg and 0.624 g/mg, respectively, which were all higher than that in shock control (0.377 g/mg) (P<0.05, P<0.01). Fasudil, staurosporine and 8Br-cGMP delimitated the calcium sensitivity of SMA and made the cumulative dose-response curve of Ca2+ shift to the right, their Emax at 3×10-2 mol/L of Ca2+ was 0.242 g/mg, 0.230 g/mg and 0.256 g/mg, respectively, which were all lower than that in shock control (0.377 g/mg) (P<0.05, P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Rho-kinase, PKC, PKG play important roles in the regulation of calcium sensitivity of vascular smooth muscle in hemorrhagic shock. |
