Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 3. Ca2+ oscillations triggered by 5-HT in individual smooth muscle cells from an intact mouse endothelium-denuded PA are potently inhibited by the inhibition of ANO1. All data were collected from the same PA from a conditional smooth muscle–specific and inducible GCaMP3 mouse injected with tamoxifen to induce Cre expression. (A) Ca2+ imaging was performed in the absence of an agonist (Control). The left panel shows one image from a video from which a ST map (middle colored image) was created in the area spanned by the diagonal white line. Fluorescence intensity was measured under the three white lines on the ST map (corresponding to two different cells) and plotted as a function of time as shown on the right. There was no detectable activity in these two cells as well as across the entire field of view of the movie. (B) Same nomenclature as in A except that the preparation was exposed to 1 μM 5-HT for 5 min. A ST map created in the same manner as that in A shows clear evidence of asynchronous Ca2+ transients. This is more evident from examining the fluorescence intensity profile of the same two cells analyzed in A, which displayed repetitive Ca2+ transient of distinct magnitude and frequency. (C) The nomenclature of this panel is identical to that of B and C, with the exception that the PA was exposed to 10 μM CaCCInh-A01 for 10 min while still being incubated with 5-HT. Examination of the ST map reveals little, if any, Ca2+ oscillations in the presence of the ANO1 inhibitor; Ca2+ transients were no longer apparent in the same two cells analyzed in A and B.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 8. ANO1, CaV1.2, and IP3R colocalize in peripheral coupling sites to form signaling complexes. (A and B) Co-IP of CaV1.2 or IP3R with ANO1 from lysates of the pulmonary artery from wild-type mice. Pulldown was carried out with anti-ANO1 antibody and then probed by Western blot with anti-CaV1.2, anti-IP3R, or anti- ANO1 antibodies. Five to six mouse tissues per experiment, each ran in triplicates. (C and D) Freshly isolated PASMCs from wild-type mice were immunolabeled for ANO1 and CaV1.2 (C) or ANO1 and IP3R (D). All three proteins were preferentially localized to the periphery of the cells. (D and F) Line profiles of the areas indi- cated by the white dashed lines in C and E. The fluorescence intensity was normalized to the minimum and maximum fluorescence for each sample. The black arrowheads denote the loca- tion of the PM. ANO1 and CaV1.2 show strong immunolabeling at the PM (D). (E) IP3R shows some intracellular immunolabeling, with moder- ate peaks present at the periphery showing an enhancement of protein localization to periphe- ral coupling sites.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 10. Membrane cholesterol depletion with MβCD causes the internalization of ANO1 and CaV1.2 proteins. (A and C) Freshly isolated PASMCs from wild-type mice were im- munolabeled for ANO1 and CaV1.2 before (A) or after (C) a 30-min exposure to MβCD (3 mg/ml; MβCD) to deplete membrane cholesterol and disrupt lipid rafts. The two ion channel proteins were preferentially localized to the periphery of the cells in control conditions as similarly shown in Fig. 8. (B–D) Line profiles of the areas indi- cated by the white dashed lines in A and C are respectively displayed in B and D. For these plots, the fluorescence intensity was normalized to the minimum and maximum fluorescence for each sample. The black arrowheads denote the location of the PM. ANO1 and CaV1.2 show strong immunolabeling at the PM in control condition (C) and translocation toward the cen- ter core of the cell after exposure to MβCD (D). The cells from A and C were isolated from the same mouse. (E and F) Graphs summarizing the effects of exposing PASMCs to MβCD on the distribution of ANO1 (magenta bars) and CaV1.2 (green bars), respectively. Measurements were performed as described in the text and consisted in normalizing membrane fluorescence to total cell fluorescence. For each dataset, the mean is indicated by a large, filled black square with the colored boxes and whiskers delimiting the 25th and 75th percentile, and the 10th and 90th percentile of the pooled data, respectively, and small dots individual data points. N: number of animals; n: number of cells; for the control group (E): ANO1 and CaV1.2: N = 3, n = 43; for the MβCD group (F): ANO1 and CaV1.2: N = 3, n = 35. *** indicates a significant difference between means with P < 0.001.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 12. Hypothetical models of EC coupling involving ANO1, CaV1.2, and IP3R during agonist-mediated contraction of mouse pulmonary ar- terial smooth muscle cells. (A) General uniform model depicting the acti- vation of ANO1 by both Ca2+ release from IP3-sensitive SR Ca2+ stores and Ca2+ entry through CaV1.2. In this model, the three ion transporters are evenly distributed in the membrane and are not physically coupled. The depolari- zation is maintained by the positive feedback loop established by CaV1.2- mediated activation of Cl−efflux through ANO1 and its impact on the state of activation of CaV1.2 through regulation of membrane potential. (B) Schematic diagram illustrating the local interaction of ANO1, CaV1.2 with IP3R and their impact on membrane potential, Ca2+ entry, and contraction. In this model, the three ion channels are physically coupled in a restricted number of sites (Super Cluster) distributed across the long axis of the cell (shown as red boxes in the bottom diagram) and are organized for compartmentalized Ca2+
