The aim of this study was to explore the changes evoked by organ culture in the signalling pathways activated by noradrenaline in rat resistance mesenteric artery. Contractile responses and calcium signalling were significantly more sensitive to noradrenaline in arteries cultured for 48-72 h in the absence of growth factors compared to fresh arteries. Both calcium release activated by noradrenaline in calcium-free solution and calcium entry measured after the addition of external calcium were higher in cultured arteries than in fresh tissue. Blockers of non-selective cation channels (SKF-96365, flufenamic acid, Gd(3+)) more potently inhibited noradrenaline contraction in cultured arteries than in fresh ones. The src kinase inhibitors genistein or PP2 normalised the increased contraction and the increased calcium release evoked by noradrenaline in cultured arteries. In cultured arteries, trpc1 (transient receptor potential canonical 1) mRNA expression was decreased by 47 +/- 8% (n = 5, p < 0.05), while trpc6 mRNA expression was increased by 92 +/- 24% (n = 5, p < 0.05) in comparison with non-cultured arteries. Immunofluorescence analysis of protein expression confirmed the up-regulation of TRPC6 protein after culture. These results indicate that mesenteric artery culture results in src kinase-dependent increase in the responses to noradrenaline and in a change in cation channel activity, which could contribute to the increased contraction.

D008638 Mesenteric Arteries Arteries which arise from the abdominal aorta and distribute to most of the intestines. Arteries, Mesenteric,Artery, Mesenteric,Mesenteric Artery
D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
