Sequential opening of IP<sub>3</sub>-sensitive Ca<sup>2+</sup>channels and SOC during α-adrenergic activation of rabbit vena cava
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Alpha(1)-aderenoceptor-mediated constriction of rabbit inferior vena cava (IVC) is signaled by asynchronous wavelike Ca(2+) oscillations in the in situ smooth muscle. We have shown previously that a putative nonselective cationic channel (NSCC) is required for these oscillations. In this report, we show that the application of 2-aminoethoxyphenyl borate (2-APB) to antagonize inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP(3))-sensitive Ca(2+) release channels (IP(3)R channels) can prevent the initiation and abolish ongoing alpha(1)-aderenoceptor-mediated tonic constriction of the venous smooth muscle by inhibiting the generation of these intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) oscillations. The observed effects of 2-APB can only be attributed to its selective inhibition on the IP(3)R channels, not to its slight inhibition of the L-type voltage-gated Ca(2+) channel and the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca(2+) ATPase. Furthermore, 2-APB had no effect on the ryanodine-sensitive Ca(2+) release channel and the store-operated channel (SOC) in the IVC. These results indicate that the putative NSCC involved in refilling the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and maintaining the tonic contraction is most likely an SOC-type channel because it appears to be activated by IP(3)R-channel-mediated SR Ca(2+) release or store depletion. This is in accordance with its sensitivity to Ni(2+) and La(3+) (SOC blockers). More interestingly, RT-PCR analysis indicates that transient receptor potential (Trp1) mRNA is strongly expressed in the rabbit IVC. The Trp1 gene is known to encode a component of the store-operated NSCC. These new data suggest that the activation of both the IP(3)R channels and the SOC are required for PE-mediated [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations and constriction of the rabbit IVC.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
