DiSalvo and colleagues (Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 190: 968-974, 1993) found that tyrosine kinase inhibitors reduced force at constant Ca2+ concentrations in permeabilized mesenteric arterioles. These data suggest that tyrosine kinase activation could regulate Ca2+ sensitivity in intact vascular smooth muscle. We tested this hypothesis by examining the effects of the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein on intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), myosin regulatory light chain (MRLC) phosphorylation, and isometric stress in intact swine carotid media tissues. Pretreatment with 30 microM genistein attenuated histamine-induced increases in [Ca2+]i (estimated using the photoprotein aequorin), MRLC phosphorylation, and stress. The genistein-dependent decrease in [Ca2+]i quantitatively accounted for the decrease in MRLC phosphorylation and stress. There was no measurable change in the Ca2+ dependence of MRLC phosphorylation or the dependence of force on MRLC phosphorylation. Genistein inhibited contractions independently of the source of activator Ca2+. These data suggest that tyrosine kinase(s) may influence force development in the intact swine carotid media by altering [Ca2+]i rather than modulating the Ca2+ sensitivity of MRLC phosphorylation.
