KCl causes smooth muscle contraction by elevating intracellular free Ca2+, whereas receptor stimulation activates an additional mechanism, termed Ca2+sensitization, that can involve activation of RhoA-associated kinase (ROK) and PKC. However, recent studies support the hypothesis that KCl may also increase Ca2+sensitivity. Our data showed that the PKC inhibitor GF-109203X did not, whereas the ROK inhibitor Y-27632 did, inhibit KCl-induced tonic (5 min) force and myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation in rabbit artery. Y-27632 also inhibited BAY K 8644- and ionomycin-induced MLC phosphorylation and force but did not inhibit KCl-induced Ca2+entry or peak (∼15 s) force. Moreover, KCl and BAY K 8644 nearly doubled the amount of ROK colocalized to caveolae at 30 s, a time that preceded inhibition of force by Y-27632. Colocalization was not inhibited by Y-27632 but was abolished by nifedipine and the calmodulin blocker trifluoperazine. These data support the hypothesis that KCl caused Ca2+sensitization via ROK activation. We discuss a novel model for ROK activation involving translocation to caveolae that is dependent on Ca2+entry and involves Ca2+-calmodulin activation.
