Research Abstract |
Intracellular Stim1 localization dynamically changes in response to Ca^<2+> store depletion and its expression level is linked to eNOS activation and NO production via regulation of Ca^<2+> influx level in cultured endothelial cells. We further analyzed endothelium specific Stim1 null mice and confirmed enhanced vascular contraction by phenylephrine, diminished endothelium-dependent vascular relaxation by acetylcholine, and elevation of blood pressure. Thus, Stim1 play a role in blood pressure regulation via eNOS/NO system and endothelial function.
