1 We examined the effect of the thiazide diuretic, hydrochlorothiazide, on intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+](i)) and tone in guinea-pig mesentery arteries. Vessels were mounted on a microvascular myograph and loaded with the Ca2+-sensitive fluorescent dye, Fura-2.2 Hydrochlorothiazide caused relaxation of noradrenaline-precontracted arteries associated with a fall in [Ca2+](i). Preincubation of arteries with hydrochlorothiazide inhibited, both contraction and rise in [Ca2+](i) in response to noradrenaline. Hydrochlorothiazide did not affect tone and [Ca2+](i) when this was elevated by a combination of depolarizing potassium solution and noradrenaline.3 Hydrochlorothiazide-induced vasorelaxation and decrease of [Ca2+](i) was abolished by charybdotoxin, a blocker of large conductance Ca2+-activated K channels.4 The rise in [Ca2+](i) elicited by caffeine in Ca2+-free physiological salt solution, and presumably reflecting Ca2+ release from intracellular stores, was not altered by preincubation with hydrochlorothiazide.5 Under depolarizing conditions hydrochlorothiazide did not alter the relationship between the extracellular concentration of Ca2+ and [Ca2+](i); however, hydrochlorothiazide caused a small reduction in the contraction produced for a given rise in [Ca2+](i) suggesting hydrochlorothiazide may cause a slight desensitization of the contractile machinery.6 These findings suggest that hydrochlorothiazide opens Ca2+-activated K channels leading to hyperpolarization and consequent closing of voltage-operated calcium channels. The result of this is an impaired influx of extracellular Ca2+, a decrease in [Ca2+](i) and vasorelaxation.
