This study aimed to examine the alteration of colonic smooth muscle (SM) Ca2+ signaling and Ca2+ handling proteins in a rat model of dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced UC. Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into control (n = 18) and DSS (n = 17) groups. Acute colitis was induced by 5% DSS in the drinking water for 7 days. Contractility of colonic SM strips (controls, n = 8 and DSS, n = 7) was measured in an organ bath. Cytosolic resting Ca2+ levels (n = 3 in each group) and Ca2+ transients (n = 3 in each group) were measured in single colonic SM cells. Ca2+ handling protein expression was determined by Western blotting (n = 4 in each group). Differences between control and DSS groups were analyzed by a two-sample independent t-test. Results: Average tension and amplitude of spontaneous contractions of colonic muscle strips were significantly enhanced in DSS-treated rats compared with controls (1.25 ± 0.08 g vs. 0.96 - 0.05 g, P = 0.007; and 2.67 - 0.62 g vs. 0.52 ±0.10 g, P= 0.013). Average tensions of carbachol-evoked contractions were much weaker in the DSS group (1.08 ±0.10 g vs. 1.80 ±0.19 g, P = 0.006). Spontaneous Ca2+ transients were observed in more SM cells from DSS-treated rats (15/30 cells) than from controls (5/36 cells). Peak caffeine-induced intracellular Ca2+ release was lower in SM cells of DSS-treated rats than controls (0.413 ±0.046 vs. 0.548 ±0.041, P = 0.033). Finally, several Ca2+ handling proteins in colonic SM were altered by DSS treatment, including sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium-transporting ATPase 2a downregulation and phospholamban and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor 1 upregulation. Conclusions: Impaired intracellular Ca2+ signaling of colonic SM, caused by alteration of Ca2+ handing proteins, contribute to colonic dysmotility in DSS-induced UC.展开更多
