The spatiotemporal dynamics of intracellular calcium within the middle cerebral artery (MCA) isolated from stroke‐prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR‐SP) were investigated using real‐time confocal laser microscopy. At 3 months of age (prestroke), rhythmical changes in the [Ca2+]i during the tonic phase were found to precede vasomotion following application of 5‐HT, but not other stimuli. These responses were not observed at 1 month of age; moreover, the MCA lost both responses post‐stroke (5 months of age). When [Ca2+]i was analysed in arteriolar smooth muscle cells, rhythmical changes in [Ca2+]i occurred during the same cycle. Thus, these processes were synchronized. The synchronized rhythmical changes in [Ca2+]i were abolished following application of 100 nm ketanserin and 10 μm nicardipine. Treatment with 60 nm charybdotoxin and 10 μm cyclopiazonic acid also significantly reduced rhythmical elevations in [Ca2+]i. In addition, rhythmical changes in [Ca2+]i became unsynchronized following treatment with 100 μm carbenoxolone, a gap junction blocker. Connexin 45 mRNA and protein expression were both elevated in the MCA of SHR‐SP. Taken together, these findings suggest that rhythmical changes in [Ca2+]i of the MCA are dependent upon the 5‐HT2 receptor‐mediated release of calcium from intracellular stores which, in turn, activates voltage‐dependent calcium channels to enable an influx of calcium into smooth muscle cells. Subsequently, charybdotoxin‐sensitive potassium channels are activated and provide a negative feedback pathway to regulate [Ca2+]i. Moreover, the co‐ordinated synchronization of rhythmical changes in [Ca2+]i across smooth muscle cells was found to be dependent upon gap junctions.
