In the light of the central role of calcium influx in SM contractility, we hypothesized that regional differences in oesophageal contractility may be associated with differential expression of L\u2010type calcium channels (L<jats:sub>Ca<\/jats:sub>) along the SM oesophagus. L<jats:sub>Ca<\/jats:sub> expression was compared between proximal and distal regions of the circular SM oesophagus by Western blots. Patch clamp technique was utilized to study L<jats:sub>Ca<\/jats:sub> currents. Muscle strip studies assessed L<jats:sub>Ca<\/jats:sub> contribution to contractile activity. The protein expression of L<jats:sub>Ca<\/jats:sub> and L<jats:sub>Ca<\/jats:sub> current density was greater in the proximal than distal region. L<jats:sub>Ca<\/jats:sub> voltage and time\u2010dependent activation and inactivation curves were similar in cells from both regions. Stimulation of muscle strips with acetylcholine (ACh) in the presence of tetrodotoxin resulted in contractions of greater amplitude in the proximal region. The L<jats:sub>Ca<\/jats:sub> agonist Bay K 8644 caused a greater increase in ACh\u2010induced contraction amplitude in muscle strips from the proximal region. Therefore, regional myogenic differences in L<jats:sub>Ca<\/jats:sub> expression along the circular SM oesophageal body exist and may contribute to the nature of oesophageal contractions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2982.2004.00523.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,6,15]],"date-time":"2004-06-15T20:02:30Z","timestamp":1087329750000},"page":"325-334","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["L\u2010type Ca<sup>2+<\/sup> channel expression along feline smooth muscle oesophagus"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"A.","family":"Muinuddin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"Ji","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"L.","family":"Sheu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Y.","family":"Kang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"H.
