Protein kinase C activation stimulates plasma membrane Ca2+ pump in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells

We examined the effect of phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), a potent activator of protein kinase C, on Ca2+ extrusion from cultured vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) incubated in the absence of added extracellular Na+ (Na+o). Previously, strong experimental evidence was presented that the Na+o-independent Ca2+ extrusion from VSMCs is effected by the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump (Furukawa, K.-I., Tawada, Y., and Shigekawa, M. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 8058-8065). Brief (2 min) pretreatment of VSMCs with 30-300 nM PMA suppressed the intracellular Ca2+ transient induced with 1 microM ionomycin to about 60% of the control, whereas it accelerated the concomitant Na+o-independent 45Ca2+ extrusion by up to 20%. When the Ca2+ transient was induced with 0.1 microM angiotensin II, the PMA pretreatment markedly suppressed it and reduced also the rate of 45Ca2+ efflux from cells slightly. These effects of PMA were mimicked by 1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol, another protein kinase C activator, but were abolished by prior treatment of cells with staurosporine, an inhibitor of protein kinase C, or prior long incubation of cells with PMA. Analysis of the effect of PMA on [Ca2+]i dependence of the rate of Na+o-independent 45Ca2+ efflux revealed that PMA increased the maximum Ca2+ efflux rate without a significant change in the affinity for Ca2+. These results strongly suggest that the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump in VSMCs can be stimulated by PMA and that protein kinase C is involved in regulation of [Ca2+]i in intact VSMCs.
