Regulation and function of vascular smooth muscle potassium channels

We have shown that BK channels are regulated by a number of signalling pathways, by PKG (Robertson et al., 1993;Gribkova et al., 2002;Gagov et al., 2022), by PKA (Schubert et al., 1996) – also in hypertension (Pyanova et al., 2024), by PKC (Schubert et al., 1999b;Mladenov et al., 2008) as well as intracellular pH (Petkova-Kirova et al., 2000;Schubert et al., 2001). In small arteries, these signalling pathways mediate the contribution of BK channels to NO- and iloprost-induced dilations (Climent et al. 2012;Iozzi et al. 2013;Sausbier et al., 2000;Sausbier et al., 2005;Schubert et al., 1997), to ghrelin- (Mladenov et al., 2008) and methoxamine-induced vasocontraction, where the latter was shown to increase with postnatal maturation (Mladenov et al., 2008; Shvetsova et al., 2019, Ma et al., 2020) as well as to the setting of the level of the myogenic tone (Wesselman et al., 1997;Schubert et al., 1999a; Ma et al., 2020). Interestingly, when the full range of vessel tone was explored, NO-induced dilations were shown to be limited by BK channels, only at high levels of vessel tone BK channels facilitate this dilation (Schmid et al., 2018). All these findings were obtained on different small arteries from rats and PKG- as well as BK channel-deficient mice. Some of these data have been summarized in a review article (Schubert & Nelson, 2001). 


Further, we could demonstrate that inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir2) channels are activated by NO, where this effect contributes to the NO-induced dilation of small arteries (Schubert et al., 2004) and that the negative feedback regulation of vasocontraction by Kir2 channels decreases during postnatal maturation (Shvetsova et al., 2019).

 

Ongoing studies are focused on the biophysical and pharmacological properties of several voltage-operated potassium channels and their function in the cardiovascular system. It was found that Kv7 channels contribute to the vasodilating effect of factors released from periadventitial fat (Schleifenbaum et al. 2010; Zavaritskaya et al. 2013, Tsvetkov et al 2016), as well as CO (Zhang et al. 2021), lose their dominating role in the negative feedback regulation of vasocontraction during postnatal maturation (Shvetsova et al., 2019; Ma et al., 2020) and are limited in their role as negative feedback on vasoconstriction by BK channels (Ma et al., 2020). These channels share with BK channels the ability to mediate vasodilation by the novel K channels opener GoSlo (Zavaritskaya et al. 2020). Another Kv channel, Kv2.1, was identified to prevent vasomotion and safeguard myogenic reactivity (Här et al., 2023). Recently, it was shown that another class of K channels, TASK-1 channels, also lose their ability to mediate negative feedback on vasocontraction during postnatal maturation (Shvetsova et al., 2020) and are involved in pH-dependent tone regulation in renal arteries (Shvetsova et al., 2022).


Overviews of the tools to study Kv7 channels and of the role of different K channels in early postnatal maturation have been presented in reviews (Gollasch et al., 2018; Svetsova et al., 2021; Schubert et al., 2023).

Functional remodeling of vascular smooth muscle during early postnatal development

Our studies showed that the signaling mechanisms governing vascular tone regulation possess a high degree of plasticity. Thus, with postnatal maturation (i) the anticontractile effect of the endothelium decreases (Gaynullina et al. 2013), (ii) sympathetic nerves reduce arterial smooth muscle Ca2+-sensitivity (Puzdrova et al. 2014), (iii) mRNA and miRNA expression changes in a correlated manner (Gaynullina et al. 2015), (iv) Rho-kinase-mediated calcium sensitivity decreases (Mochalov et al., 2018), (v) Kv1, Kv7 and Kir2-channel mediated negative feedback of vasocontraction is reduced, in the case of Kv7 channel in part due to an increasing role of BK channels (Shvetsova et al., 2019; Ma et al. 2020), and (vi) the TASK-1 channel mediated negative feedback of vasocontraction is lost (Shvetsova et al., 2020). Of note, an altered expression of signaling elements during maturation does not always translate into an altered functional role, as shown with MAP kinases (Gaynullina et al., 2021).


These data have been summarized in three reviews (Gaynullina et al., 2019; Shvetsova et al., 2021; Gaynullina et al., 2022).

Mechanotransduction mechanisms in vascular smooth muscle cells

We could demonstrate that PKA (Schubert et al., 1999), Rho-kinase (Schubert et al., 2002) and BK as well as Kv7 channels (Sausbier et al., 2005, Ma et al. 2020) contribute to the setting of the level of small artery myogenic tone. Of note, Kv7 channels are limited in their negative feedback on myogenic tone by BK channels and vice versa (Ma et al., 2020). In addition, it was demonstrated that the myogenic response is mediated by Rho-kinase (Schubert et al., 2002) and modulated by neuronal influences (Anschutz & Schubert, 2005). The mechanisms of the myogenic response have been discussed in 4 review articles (Schubert & Mulvany, 1999;Schubert & Brayden, 2005;Schubert et al., 2008;Lidington et al. 2013).

 

We have been participating in a cooperative study showing that endothelial TRPV4 channels are involved in flow-induced vessel dilations (Kohler et al., 2006). A Kv channel, Kv2.1, was identified to prevent vasomotion and safeguard myogenic reactivity (Här et al., 2023).

Mechanisms of calcium sensitivity regulation

In our experiments we have demonstrated that Rho-kinase is contributing to the myogenic response by increasing the calcium sensitivity of the contractile apparatus (Schubert et al., 2002).


In addition, we have shown that the dilation induced by urocortin is caused by a PKA-mediated alteration of the calcium sensitivity (Lubomirov et al., 2001), associated with a dephosphorylation of MYPT1 and an activation of MLCP (Lubomirov et al., 2006a;Lubomirov et al., 2006b;Pfitzer et al., 2006). Further, we showed that Rho-kinase-mediated calcium sensitivity decreases with maturation (Mochalov et al., 2018).


Of note, for Src kinase, also known to affect calcium sensitivity, we discovered a major role in calcium-dependent pathways of contractility regulation (Zavaritskaya et al., 2017) suggesting that kinases have the potential to differentially affect calcium-sensitivity as well as calcium-dependent pathways. 
Our data further demonstrate that sympathetic nerves reduce arterial smooth muscle Ca2+-sensitivity during postnatal development (Puzdrova et al. 2014).


We have been participating in cooperative studies showing that adenosine is increasing the calcium sensitivity of the contractile apparatus via p38 MAP-kinase (Martinka et al., 2008) and that expression of a leucine zipper positive splice variant of MYPT1 results in a higher NO/cGMP/PKG sensitivity of cerebral arteries (Lubomirov et al., 2018).
