Previous studies demonstrated that maintenance of steady-state myogenic tone requires Ca 2+-dependent myosin phosphorylation. The present studies furthered these observations by examining temporal relationships among Ca 2+, myosin phosphorylation and vessel diameter during acute increases in intraluminal pressure and norepinephrine stimulation. Rat cremaster muscle arterioles were cannulated and loaded with the Ca 2+-sensitive indicator fura-2. The extent of myosin phosphorylation was measured using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Acute increases in intraluminal pressure caused a biphasic increase in intracellular Ca 2+([Ca 2+] i), characterized by a transient peak followed by a decline to a steady-state level which remained significantly higher than control values. Peak [Ca 2+] i was significantly related to vessel distension and increased with the change in wall tension. Increased intraluminal pressure resulted in a monophasic increase in myosin phosphorylation that was significantly correlated with instantaneous wall tension. In general, norepinephrine induced larger [Ca 2+] i transients and a biphasic myosin phosphorylation pattern. The results demonstrate:(a) major roles for Ca 2+ and myosin phosphorylation in arteriolar myogenic and norepinephrine-induced responses;(b) that changes in Ca 2+ and phosphorylation during a myogenic response are related to changes in wall tension, and (c) differences in Ca 2+ and phosphorylation patterns between the two modes of contraction reflect possible differences in underlying signaling mechanisms. The data further emphasize that spontaneous arteriolar tone represents a state of maintained smooth muscle activation that requires increases in [Ca 2+] i and myosin light-chain phosphorylation.
