Lin MT, Adelman JP, Maylie J. Modulation of endothelial SK3 channel activity by Ca2+-dependent caveolar trafficking. Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 303: C318-C327, 2012. First published May 23, 2012; doi:10.1152/ajpcell.00058.2012.-Small- and intermediate-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels (SK3/Kcnn3 and IK1/Kcnn4) are expressed in vascular endothelium. Their activities play important roles in regulating vascular tone through their modulation of intracellular concentration([Ca2+](i)) required for the production of endothelium-derived vasoactive agents. Activation of endothelial IK1 or SK3 channels hyperpolarizes endothelial cell membrane potential, increases Ca2+ influx, and leads to the release of vasoactive factors, thereby impacting blood pressure. To examine the distinct roles of IK1 and SK3 channels, we used electro-physiological recordings to investigate IK1 and SK3 channel trafficking in acutely dissociated endothelial cells from mouse aorta. The results show that SK3 channels undergo Ca2+-dependent cycling between the plasma membrane and intracellular organelles; disrupting Ca2+-dependent endothelial caveolae cycling abolishes SK3 channel trafficking. Moreover, transmitter-induced changes in SK3 channel activity and surface expression modulate endothelial membrane potential. In contrast, IK1 channels do not undergo rapid trafficking and their activity remains unchanged when either exo- or endocytosis is block. Thus modulation of SK3 surface expression may play an important role in regulating endothelial membrane potential in a Ca2+-dependent manner.
