title: Regulation of vascular L-type Ca2+ channels by phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate.
abstract: Modulation of voltage-gated L-type Ca2+ channels by phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) regulates Ca2+ entry and plays a crucial role in vascular excitation-contraction coupling. Angiotensin II (Ang II) activates Ca2+ entry by stimulating L-type Ca2+ channels through Gbeta-sensitive PI3K in portal vein myocytes. Moreover, PI3K and Ca2+ entry activation have been reported to be necessary for receptor tyrosine kinase-coupled and G protein-coupled receptor-induced DNA synthesis in vascular cells. We have previously shown that tyrosine kinase-regulated class Ia and G protein-regulated class Ib PI3Ks are able to modulate vascular L-type Ca2+ channels. PI3Ks display 2 enzymatic activities: a lipid-kinase activity leading to the formation of phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate [PI(3,4,5)P3 or PIP3] and a serine-kinase activity. Here we show that exogenous PIP3 applied into the cell through the patch pipette is able to reproduce the Ca2+ channel-stimulating effect of Ang II and PI3Ks. Moreover, the Ang II-induced PI3K-mediated stimulation of Ca2+ channel and the resulting increase in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration are blocked by the anti-PIP3 antibody. Mutants of PI3K transfected into vascular myocytes also revealed the essential role of the lipid-kinase activity of PI3K in Ang II-induced Ca2+ responses. These results suggest that PIP3 is necessary and sufficient to activate a Ca2+ influx in vascular myocytes stimulated by Ang II.
