| Abstract | In vascular endothelial cells, elevation of cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) causes activation of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and release of nitric oxide (NO). The goal of the study was to characterize the interplay between [Ca2+]i and NO production in this cell type. Simultaneous measurements of [Ca2+]i and intracellular NO concentration ([NO]i) in cultured bovine vascular endothelial cells (CPAE cell line) with the fluorescent indicators fura-2 and DAF-2, respectively, revealed that Ca2+ influx following agonist-induced intracellular Ca2+ store depletion (capacitative Ca2+ entry, CCE) represents the preferential Ca2+ source for the activation of the Ca2+-calmodulin-dependent endothelial NOS (eNOS). Exposure to the NO donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP) showed that high NO levels suppressed CCE and had an inhibitory effect on Ca2+ extrusion by the plasmalemmal Ca2+-ATPase. This inhibitory effect on CCE was mimicked by the membrane-permeant cGMP analogue 8-bromo-cGMP, but was reversed by the NO scavenger haemoglobin and prevented by the inhibitor of the NO-sensitive guanylate cyclase ODQ. Brief exposure to SNP reduced the peak of ATP-induced Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and accelerated Ca2+ reuptake into the ER. Prolonged incubation with SNP resulted in enhanced Ca2+ loading of the ER, as revealed by direct measurements of store content with the ER-entrapped low-affinity Ca2+ indicator mag-fura-2. The results suggest that in vascular endothelial cells, NO synthesis is under autoregulatory control that involves NO-dependent [Ca2+]i regulation. Via cGMP-dependent inhibition of CCE and acceleration of Ca2+ sequestration into the ER, NO can lower [Ca2+]i and therefore exert an autoregulatory negative feedback on its own Ca2+-dependent synthesis. |

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.
