Calcium Sensing

Myogenic tone of small arteries is dependent on the presence of extracellular calcium ([Formula: see text]), and, recently, a receptor that senses changes in Ca2+, the calcium-sensing receptor (CaR), has been detected in vascular tissue. We investigated whether the CaR is involved in the regulation of myogenic tone in rat subcutaneous small arteries. Immunoblot analysis using a monoclonal antibody against the CaR demonstrated its presence in rat subcutaneous arteries. To determine whether the CaR was functionally active, segments of artery (<250 μm internal diameter) mounted in a pressure myograph with an intraluminal pressure of 70 mmHg were studied after the development of myogenic tone. Increasing [Formula: see text] concentration ([Ca2+]o) cumulatively from 0.5 to 10 mM induced an initial constriction (0.5–2 mM) followed by dilation (42 ± 5% loss of tone). The dose-dependent dilation was mimicked by other known CaR agonists including magnesium (1–10 mM) and the aminoglycosides neomycin (0.003–10 mM) and kanamycin (0.003–3 mM). PKC activation with the phorbol ester phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate (20nM) inhibited the dilation induced by high [Ca2+]o or neomycin, whereas inhibition of PKC with GF109203X (10 μM) increased the responses to [Formula: see text] or neomycin, consistent with the role of PKC as a negative regulator of the CaR. We conclude that rat subcutaneous arteries express a functionally active CaR that may be involved in the modulation of myogenic tone and hence the regulation of peripheral vascular resistance.

We have previously shown the expression of the extracellular calcium (Cao 2+)-sensing receptor (CaR) in osteoblast-like cell lines, and others have documented its expression in sections of murine, bovine, and rat bone. The existence of the CaR in osteoblasts remains controversial, however, since some studies have failed to document its expression in the same osteoblast-like cell lines. The goals of the present study were twofold. 1) We sought to determine whether the CaR is expressed in the human osteoblast-like cell line, MG-63, which has recently been reported by others not to express this receptor. 2) We investigated whether the CaR, if present in MG-63 cells, is functionally active, since most previous studies have not proven the role of the CaR in mediating known actions of Cao 2+ on osteoblast-like cells. We used immunocytochemistry and Western blotting with the specific, affinity-purified anti-CaR antiserum 4637 as well as Northern blot analysis and RT-PCR using a riboprobe and PCR primers specific for the human CaR, respectively, to show readily detectable CaR protein and mRNA expression in MG-63 cells. Finally, we employed the patch-clamp technique to show that an elevation in Cao 2+ as well as the specific, allosteric CaR activator NPS R-467 (0.5 μM), but not its less active stereoisomer NPS S-467 (0.5 μM), activate an outward K+ channel in MG-63 cells, strongly suggesting that the CaR in MG-63 cells is not only expressed but is functionally active.

Short Term Effects

The dense representation of trigeminal mechanosensitive afferents in the lip vermilion, anterior tongue, intraoral mucosa, and temporomandibular joint allows the infant’s orofacial system to encode a wide range of somatosensory experiences during the critical period associated with feed development. Our understanding of how this complex sensorium processes texture is very limited in adults, and the putative role of texture encoding in the infant is unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine the short-term effects of a novel textured pacifier experience in healthy term infants (N=28). Nonnutritive suck (NNS) compression pressure waveforms were digitized in real time using a variety of custom-molded textured pacifiers varying in spatial array density of touch domes. MANCOVA, adjusted for postmenstrual age at test and sex, revealed that infants exhibited an increase in NNS burst attempts at the expense of a degraded suck burst structure with the textured pacifiers, suggesting that the suck central pattern generator (sCPG) is significantly disrupted and reorganized by this novel orocutaneous experience. The current findings provide new insight into oromotor control as a function of the oral somatosensory environment in neurotypically developing infants.
