We have investigated the effects of hypoxia and mitochondria inhibitors on the capacitative Ca2+ entry (CCE) in cultured smooth muscle cells from rabbit small pulmonary arteries. Cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) depleted Ca2+ from sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) in Ca2+-free medium and subsequent addition of Ca2+ led to the nifedipine-insensitive, La3+-sensitive Ca2+ influx. The presence of CCE was further verified by the measurement of unidirectional Mn2+ influx. During the decay phase of the CCE-induced [Ca2+]C transients, hypoxia (P-O2 < 50 mmHg) and the mitochondria inhibitor FCCP reversibly increased [Ca2+]C, that is La3+-sensitive. Once SR is depleted by CPA, subsequent treatment of FCCP slowed the decay of CCE-induced [Ca2+]C transients but it did not attenuate Mn2+ influx. Mitochondrial uptake of incoming Ca2+ through CCE was demonstrated by additional increase in [Ca2+]C with Ca2+ ionophore after terminating CCE. Together, it is suggested that the augmentation of CCE-induced [Ca2+]C transients by hypoxia and FCCP reflects a net gain of [Ca2+]c by the inhibition of mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake.
