cAMP and Ca(2+) are antagonistic intracellular messengers for the regulation of vascular smooth muscle tone; rising levels of Ca(2+) lead to vasoconstriction, whereas an increase of cAMP induces vasodilatation. Here we investigated whether Ca(2+) interferes with cAMP signaling by regulation of phophodiesterases (PDEs) or adenylyl cyclases (ACs). We studied regulation of cAMP concentrations by Ca(2+) signals evoked by endogenous purinergic receptors in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). The fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based cAMP sensor Epac1-camps allowed the measurement of cAMP levels in single-living VSMCs with subsecond temporal resolution. Moreover, in vitro calibration of Epac1-camps enabled us to estimate the absolute cytosolic cAMP concentrations. Stimulation of purinergic receptors decreased cAMP levels in the presence of the beta-adrenergic agonist isoproterenol. Simultaneous imaging of cAMP with Epac1-camps and of Ca(2+) with Fura 2 revealed a rise of intracellular Ca(2+) in response to purinergic stimulation followed by a decline of cAMP. Chelation of intracellular Ca(2+) and overexpression of Ca(2+)-independent AC4 antagonized this decline of cAMP, whereas pharmacological inhibition of Ca(2+)-activated PDE1 had no effect. AC assays with VSMC membranes revealed a significant attenuation of isoproterenol-stimulated cAMP production by the presence of 2 muM Ca(2+). Furthermore, small interfering RNA (siRNA) knockdown of AC5 and AC6 (the two ACs known to be inhibited by Ca(2+)), significantly reduced the decrease of cAMP upon purinergic stimulation of isoproterenol-prestimulated VSMCs. Taken together, these results implicate a Ca(2+)-mediated inhibition of AC5 and 6 as an important mechanism of purinergic receptor-induced decline of cAMP and show a direct cross talk of these signaling pathways in VSMCs.
