| Abstract | Ryanodine receptor 1 (RyR1) is well-known to be expressed in systemic and pulmonary vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs); however, its functional roles remain largely unknown. In the present study, we attempted to determine the potential importance of RyR1 in membrane depolarization-, neurotransmitter-, and hypoxia-induced Ca2+ release and contraction in pulmonary artery SMCs (PASMCs) using RyR1 homozygous and heterozygous gene deletion (RyR1-/- and RyR1+/-) mice. Our results indicate that spontaneous local Ca2+ release and caffeine-induced global Ca2+ release are significantly reduced in embryonic RyR1-/- and adult RyR+/- cells. An increase in [Ca2+]i following membrane depolarization with high K+ is markedly attenuated in RyR1-/- and RyR1+/- PASMCs in normal Ca2+ or Ca2+-free extracellular solution. Similarly, muscle contraction evoked by membrane depolarization is reduced in RyR1+/- pulmonary arteries in the presence or absence of extracellular Ca2+. Neurotransmitter receptor agonists and inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate elicit a much smaller increase in [Ca2+]i in both RyR1-/- and RyR1+/- cells. We have also found that neurotransmitter-evoked muscle contraction is significantly inhibited in RyR1+/- pulmonary arteries. Hypoxia-induced increase in [Ca2+]i and contraction are largely blocked in RyR1-/- and/or RyR1+/- PASMCs. Collectively, our findings provide genetic evidence for the functional importance of RyR1 in spontaneous local Ca2+ release, and membrane depolarization-, neurotransmitter-, as well as hypoxia-induced global Ca2+ release and attendant contraction in PASMCs. |

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.
