1 Leukotriene B<sub>4</sub> Inhibits L-Type Calcium Channels via p38 Signaling Pathway in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells Cell Physiol Biochem 2015;37: DOI: / Fig. 1. LTB4 inhibits L-type calcium channel currents in A7r5 cells. (A) Representative current traces show the nifedipine sensitive L-type channel currents in A7r5 cells with/without LTB4 incubation for 12 h (middle and left). 100 nM LTB4 inhibited L-type calcium channels in a time dependent manner; Histogram plots of mean ± S.E.M. of L-type calcium channel current density normalized by control (1 h to 24 h, n = 30∼72, right). *P < 0.05 compared to control using a one-way ANOVA test. (B) Current-voltage (I-V) currents obtained from A7r5 cells with/without LTB4 for 12 h (left); I-V relationship curves generated by peak current density at each test voltage (right). Data were presented as means ± S.E.M. from 70 cells. (C) Statistical analysis of the inhibitory effects of various concentrations of LTB4 (1∼100 nM) on L-type calcium channels (n = 46∼80, *P < 0.05 compared to control using a one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's test). © 2015 The Author(s) Published by S.

The effects of LTB4 on the steady-state activation /inactivation properties and the mRNA/protein expression of L-type calcium channels in A7r5 cells. (A) 100 nm LTB4 did not alter the steady-state activation property of L-type calcium channel currents. The current traces show the voltage-dependent L-type calcium channel current activation curves in the absence (top left) and presence (bottom left) of 100 nM LTB4. The normalized data points were fitted using the Boltzmann equation (right). (B) 100 nM LTB4 did not alter the steady-state activation kinetics of L-type calcium channel currents (right); Representative currents with/without LTB4 shown to the left. (C) 100 nM LTB4 reduced mRNA expression of CaV1.2 channels in A7r5 cells at various time points (1∼12 hour, left, *P < 0.05 compared to control using a one-way ANOVA test); 12 hour treatment with 100 nM LTB4 significantly reduced protein expression of CaV1.2 channels (right); A representative image (Upper) and the statistical analysis of Western blot from 5 independent experiments (*P < 0.05 compared to control, t test , lower). © 2015 The Author(s) Published by S.

LTB4 inhibition of L-type channel currents is mediated by the BLT1 receptor. (A) The BLT1 receptor antagonist LY29311 (5 µM) abrogated the LTB4 inhibition of CaV1.2 channels. Representative current trances were elicited by a test pulse at +10 mV from holding at −50 mV (top); Bar graph plots of means ± S.E.M. of normalized CaV1.2 current density (bottom).
