Development of an Image‐Based System for Measurement of Membrane Potential, Intracellular Ca2+and Contraction in Arteriolar Smooth Muscle Cells.Microcirculation17(8), 629–640.AbstractObjective:Changes in smooth muscle cell (SMC) membrane potential (Em) are critical to vasomotor responses. As a fluorescent indicator approach would lessen limitations of glass electrodes in contracting preparations, we aimed to develop a Forster (or fluorescence) resonance energy transfer (FRET)‐based measurement for Em.Methods:The FRET pair used in this study (donor CC2‐DMPE [excitation 405 nm] and acceptor DisBAC4(3)) provide rapid measurements at a sensitivity not achievable with many ratiometric indicators. The method also combined measurement of changes in Ca2+iusing fluo‐4 and excitation at 490 nm.Results:After establishing loading conditions, a linear relationship was demonstrated between Em and fluorescence signal in FRET dye‐loaded HEK cells held under voltage clamp. Over the voltage range from −70 to +30 mV, slope (of FRET signal vs. voltage, m) = 0.49 ± 0.07, r2= 0.96 ± 0.025. Similar data were obtained in cerebral artery SMCs, slope (m) = 0.30 ± 0.02, r2= 0.98 ± 0.02. Change in FRET emission ratio over the holding potential of −70 to +30 mV was 41.7 ± 4.9% for HEK cells and 30.0 ± 2.3% for arterial SMCs. The FRET signal was also shown to be modulated by KCl‐induced depolarization in a concentration‐dependent manner. Further, in isolated arterial SMCs, KCl‐induced depolarization (60 mM) measurements occurred with increased fluo‐4 fluorescence emission (62 ± 9%) and contraction (−27 ± 4.2%).Conclusions:The data support the FRET‐based approach for measuring changes in Em in arterial SMCs. Further, image‐based measurements of Em can be combined with analysis of temporal changes in Ca2+iand contraction.
