Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and endothelial cells (ECs) act together to regulate blood pressure and systemic blood flow by appropriately adjusting blood vessel diameter in response to biochemical or biomechanical stimuli. Ion channels that are expressed in these cells regulate membrane potential and cytosolic Ca concentration ([Ca]) in response to such stimuli. The subsets of these ion channels involved in Ca signaling often form molecular complexes with intracellular molecules via scaffolding proteins.

Particulate matter 2.5 (PM) exposure is responsible for skin inflammation, aging, and disruption of skin homeostasis. The objective of this investigation was to assess the potential of myricetin in protecting against skin damage caused by PM.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFActivation of PLCβ enzymes by G and G proteins is a common mechanism to trigger cytosolic Ca increase. We and others reported that G inhibitor FR900358 (FR) can inhibit both and G- and, surprisingly, G-mediated intracellular Ca mobilization. Thus, the G-G-PLCβ-Ca signaling axis depends entirely on the presence of active G, which reasonably explained FR-inhibited G-induced Ca release.

Nuclear deformation by osmotic shock or necrosis activates the cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPla) nuclear shape sensing pathway, a key regulator of tissue inflammation and repair. Ca and inner nuclear membrane (INM) tension (T) are believed to mediate nucleoplasmic cPla activation. The concept implies that T persists long enough to stimulate cPla-INM adsorption.

As a member of the single-fluorophore genetically encoded calcium indicators (GECIs), jGCaMP7f is widely applied to investigate intracellular Ca concentrations. Here, we established an INS-jGCaMP7f knock-in H1 human embryonic stem cell (hESC) line by integrating jGCaMP7f gene into insulin locus via CRISPR/Cas9 system. The reporter cell line not only effectively labelled the insulin-producing cells induced from hESC, but also reflected the cytosolic change of Ca level in response to different stimuli.
