The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of smooth muscle is crucial for appropriate
regulation of Ca(2+) signalling. In visceral and vascular smooth muscles the SR
is known to periodically lie in close register, within a few nanometres, to the
plasma membrane. Recent work has focussed on reconstructions of the
ultrastructural arrangement of this so-called peripheral SR that may be important
for the genesis of phenomena such as Ca(2+) sparks. Here, we turn our attention
to vascular smooth muscle and explore the 3-dimensional (3D) ultrastructural
positioning of SR found deeper in the cell that is involved in the propagation of
Ca(2+) waves. We use digital reconstruction and volume rendering of serial
electron microscopic sections from isolated resistance arteries, pressurized in
vitro to mimic cellular geometric conformations anticipated in vivo, to map SR
positioning. We confirm that these central portions of SR are in close register
with mitochondria and the nucleus with all three organelles tightly enveloped by
a myofilament/cytoskeletal lattice. Nanospacings between the SR and individual
mitochondria are visible and in three dimensions as the SR contorts to
accommodate these organelles. Direct connection of the SR and nuclear membranes
is confirmed. Such 3D positioning of centrally located SR further informs us of
its likely role in the manifestation of spatiotemporal Ca(2+) dynamics: signal
encoding may be facilitated by spatially directed release of Ca(2+) to influence
several processes crucial to vascular smooth muscle and resistance artery
function including myofilament activation by Ca(2+) waves, mitochondrial
respiration and gene transcription.
