| Abstract | Store-operated Ca2+ entry in vascular endothelial cells not only serves to refill the intracellular Ca2+ stores, but also acts to stimulate the synthesis of nitric oxide, a key vasodilatory factor. In this study, we examined the role of cGMP in regulating the store-operated Ca2+ entry in aortic endothelial cells. Cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) and thapsigargin, two selective inhibitors of endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase, were used to induce store-operated Ca2+ entry. 8-Bromo-cGMP, an activator of protein kinase G, inhibited the CPA- or thapsigargin-induced Ca2+ entry in a concentration-dependent manner. An inhibitor of protein kinase G, KT5823 (1 μm) or H-8 (10 μm), abolished the inhibitory action of 8-bromo-cGMP and resumed Ca2+ entry. Addition ofS-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (a nitric oxide donor) or dipyridamole (a cGMP phosphodiesterase inhibitor) during CPA treatment elevated cellular cGMP levels, stimulated protein kinase G activity, and at the same time reduced Ca2+ influx due to CPA. Patch clamp study confirmed the existence of a CPA-activated Ca2+-permeable channel sensitive to cGMP inhibition. These results suggest that cGMP via a protein kinase G-dependent mechanism may play a key role in the regulation of the store-operated Ca2+ entry in vascular endothelial cells. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
