PG - 21-26 LID - 10.1691/ph.2022.1740 [doi] AB - The relationship between large conductance calcium activated potassium channel (BK(Ca)) and vascular lesions in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was investigated by observing vascular reactivity of thoracic aorta and mesenteric artery and the current changes of BK(Ca) in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). The thoracic aorta and mesenteric artery of T2DM rats were isolated, the whole cell perforated patch clamp experiment and single channel patch clamp experiment of acute enzyme separation of thoracic aorta and mesenteric artery smooth muscle cells were performed to measure the membrane capacitance and the amplitude of macro current. And the vascular ring experiment was performed to observe the change of relaxation percentage. The results showed that the amplitude of BK(Ca) current in vascular smooth muscle cells of diabetic rats was higher than that of the control group. The channel current had outward rectifying characteristics. BK(Ca) is related to vascular reactivity and smooth muscle relaxation in T2DM rats. The opening probability of BK(Ca) in VSMCs of diabetic rats was significantly increased. This study suggests that BK(Ca) may be a new target for diabetic vascular disease.
