Effective delivery of oxygen and essential nutrients to vital organs and tissues throughout the body requires adequate blood flow supplied through resistance vessels. The intimate relationship between intracellular calcium ([Ca 2+] i) and regulation of membrane potential (V m) is indispensable for maintaining blood flow regulation. In particular, Ca 2+-activated K + (K Ca) channels were ascertained as transducers of elevated [Ca 2+] i signals into hyperpolarization of V m as a pathway for decreasing vascular resistance, thereby enhancing blood flow. Recent evidence also supports the reverse role for K Ca channels, in which they facilitate Ca 2+ influx into the cell interior through open non-selective cation (e.g., transient receptor potential; TRP) channels in accord with robust electrical (hyperpolarization) and concentration (~20,000-fold) transmembrane gradients for Ca 2+. Such an arrangement supports a feed-forward activation of V m hyperpolarization while potentially boosting production of nitric oxide. Furthermore, in vascular types expressing TRP channels but deficient in functional K Ca channels (e.g., collecting lymphatic endothelium), there are profound alterations such as downstream depolarizing ionic fluxes and the absence of dynamic hyperpolarizing events. Altogether, this review is a refined set of evidence-based perspectives focused on the role of the endothelial K Ca and TRP channels throughout multiple experimental animal models and vascular types. We discuss the diverse interactions among K Ca and TRP channels to integrate Ca 2+, oxidative, and electrical signaling in the context of cardiovascular physiology and pathology. Building from a foundation of cellular biophysical data throughout a wide and diverse compilation of significant discoveries, a translational narrative is provided for readers toward the treatment and prevention of chronic, age-related cardiovascular disease.
