Synchrony of spontaneous Ca2+transients among venular mural cells (smooth muscle cells and pericytes) in visceral organs relies on the intercellular spread of L-type voltage-dependent Ca2+channel (LVDCC)-dependent depolarisations. However, the mechanisms underlying the synchrony of spontaneous Ca2+transients between arteriolar mural cells are less understood. The spontaneous intracellular Ca2+dynamics of arteriolar mural cells in the rat rectal submucosa were visualised by Cal-520 Ca2+imaging to analyse their synchrony. The mural cells in fine arterioles that had a rounded cell body with several extended processes developed spontaneous ‘synchronous’ Ca2+transients arising from Ca2+released from sarcoendoplasmic reticulum Ca2+stores. Gap junction blockers (3 μM carbenoxolone, 10 μM 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid), a Ca2+-activated Cl−channel (CaCC) blocker (100 μM 4,4′-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2′-disulfonic acid) or lowering extracellular Cl−concentration (from 134.4 to 12.4 mM) disrupted the synchrony of Ca2+transients between arteriolar mural cells. Blockers of T-type voltage-dependent Ca2+channels (TVDCCs, 1 μM mibefradil or ML218) or LVDCCs (1 μM nifedipine) reduced the Ca2+transient frequency or their area under curve (AUC), respectively. However, neither TVDCC nor LVDCC blockers disrupted the synchrony of Ca2+transients among arteriolar mural cells. This is in contrast with rectal venules in which nifedipine disrupted the synchrony of spontaneous Ca2+transients. Thus, spontaneous transient depolarisations arising from the opening of CaCCs may effectively spread to neighbouring arteriolar mural cells via gap junctions to maintain the Ca2+transient synchrony. Activation of TVDCCs appears to accelerate spontaneous Ca2+transients, while LVDCCs predominantly contribute to the duration of Ca2+transients.
