Physiological role for S-nitrosylation of RyR1 in skeletal muscle function and development. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2024; 723:150163. [PMID: 38820626 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2024.150163] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2024] [Revised: 05/20/2024] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 06/02/2024]
Abstract
Excitation-contraction coupling in skeletal muscle myofibers depends upon Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum through the ryanodine receptor/Ca2+-release channel RyR1. The RyR1 contains ∼100 Cys thiols of which ∼30 comprise an allosteric network subject to posttranslational modification by S-nitrosylation, S-palmitoylation and S-oxidation. However, the role and function of these modifications is not understood. Although aberrant S-nitrosylation of multiple unidentified sites has been associated with dystrophic diseases, malignant hyperthermia and other myopathic syndromes, S-nitrosylation in physiological situations is reportedly specific to a single (1 of ∼100) Cys in RyR1, Cys3636 in a manner gated by pO2. Using mice expressing a form of RyR1 with a Cys3636→Ala point mutation to prevent S-nitrosylation at this site, we showed that Cys3636 was the principal target of endogenous S-nitrosylation during normal muscle function. The absence of Cys3636 S-nitrosylation suppressed stimulus-evoked Ca2+ release at physiological pO2 (at least in part by altering the regulation of RyR1 by Ca2+/calmodulin), eliminated pO2 coupling, and diminished skeletal myocyte contractility in vitro and measures of muscle strength in vivo. Furthermore, we found that abrogation of Cys3636 S-nitrosylation resulted in a developmental defect reflected in diminished myofiber diameter, altered fiber subtypes, and altered expression of genes implicated in muscle development and atrophy. Thus, our findings establish a physiological role for pO2-coupled S-nitrosylation of RyR1 in skeletal muscle contractility and development and provide foundation for future studies of RyR1 modifications in physiology and disease.

Gene 2024; 921:148523. [PMID: 38703863 DOI: 10.1016/j.gene.2024.148523] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2024] [Revised: 04/14/2024] [Accepted: 04/30/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024]
Abstract
The Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei is a representative species of decapod crustacean and an economically important marine aquaculture species worldwide. However, research on the genes involved in muscle growth and development in shrimp is still lacking. MyoD is recognized as a crucial regulator of myogenesis and plays an essential role in muscle growth and differentiation in various animals. Nonetheless, little information is available concerning the function of this gene among crustaceans. In this study, we identified a sequence of the MyoD gene (LvMyoD) with a conserved bHLH domain in the L. vannamei genome. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that both the overall protein sequence and specific functional sites of LvMyoD are highly conserved with those of other crustacean species and that they are evolutionarily closely related to vertebrate MyoD and Myf5. LvMyoD expression is initially high during early muscle development in shrimp and gradually decreases after 40 days post-larval development. In adults, the muscle-specific expression of LvMyoD was confirmed through RT-qPCR analysis. Knockdown of LvMyoD inhibited the growth of the shrimp in body length and weight. Histological observation and transcriptome sequencing of muscle samples after RNA interference (RNAi) revealed nuclear agglutination and looseness in muscle fibers. Additionally, we observed significant effects on the expression of genes involved in heat shock proteins, myosins, actins, protein synthesis, and glucose metabolism. These findings suggest that LvMyoD plays a critical role in regulating muscle protein synthesis and muscle cell differentiation. Overall, this study highlights the involvement of LvMyoD in myogenesis and muscle growth, suggesting that it is a potentially important regulatory target for shrimp breeding efforts.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION/AIMS Ryanodine receptor 1 (RYR1)-related myopathies associated with variants in the RYR1 gene present with a wide range of symptoms and severity. Two of the milder phenotypes associated with dominant pathogenic variants in RYR1 are rhabdomyolysis and myalgia. Only a few studies have investigated the muscle function and structure of individuals with RYR1-related rhabdomyolysis/myalgia objectively, showing inconsistent results. This study aimed to describe structural changes and contractility of muscles in individuals with RYR1-related rhabdomyolysis/myalgia. METHODS We investigated 15 individuals with dominant variants in the RYR1-gene and compared them with 15 age-, sex-, and body mass index (BMI)-matched controls using MRI, stationary isokinetic dynamometry, and comprehensive clinical evaluation. RESULTS No significant differences were found between individuals with RYR1-related rhabdomyolysis/myalgia and healthy controls in peak torque, fat fraction, cross-sectional area, contractile cross-sectional area, or contractility (p > .05) in muscles of the lower back (MRI data only), thigh, or calf. On clinical examination, three individuals exhibited weakness in hip or back extension on the Medical Research Council (MRC) test and eight had muscle hypertrophy. Individuals with weakness were not hypertrophic. DISCUSSION Most individuals with RYR1-related rhabdomyolysis/myalgia have close to normal strength, and normal fat fraction and contractility of muscles, and therefore constitute a mild phenotype of RYR1-related myopathies.

Abstract
The endomembrane system consists of organellar membranes in the biosynthetic pathway [endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi apparatus, and secretory vesicles] as well as those in the degradative pathway (early endosomes, macropinosomes, phagosomes, autophagosomes, late endosomes, and lysosomes). These endomembrane organelles/vesicles work together to synthesize, modify, package, transport, and degrade proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids, regulating the balance between cellular anabolism and catabolism. Large ion concentration gradients exist across endomembranes: Ca2+ gradients for most endomembrane organelles and H+ gradients for the acidic compartments. Ion (Na+, K+, H+, Ca2+, and Cl-) channels on the organellar membranes control ion flux in response to cellular cues, allowing rapid informational exchange between the cytosol and organelle lumen. Recent advances in organelle proteomics, organellar electrophysiology, and luminal and juxtaorganellar ion imaging have led to molecular identification and functional characterization of about two dozen endomembrane ion channels. For example, whereas IP3R1-3 channels mediate Ca2+ release from the ER in response to neurotransmitter and hormone stimulation, TRPML1-3 and TMEM175 channels mediate lysosomal Ca2+ and H+ release, respectively, in response to nutritional and trafficking cues. This review aims to summarize the current understanding of these endomembrane channels, with a focus on their subcellular localizations, ion permeation properties, gating mechanisms, cell biological functions, and disease relevance.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle weakness is a debilitating consequence of many malignancies. Muscle weakness has a negative impact on both patient wellbeing and outcome in a range of cancer types and can be the result of loss of muscle mass (i.e. muscle atrophy, cachexia) and occur independently of muscle atrophy or cachexia. There are multiple cancer specific triggers that can initiate the progression of muscle weakness, including the malignancy itself and the tumour environment, as well as chemotherapy, radiotherapy and malnutrition. This can induce weakness via different routes: 1) impaired intrinsic capacity (i.e., contractile dysfunction and intramuscular impairments in excitation-contraction coupling or crossbridge cycling), 2) neuromuscular disconnection and/or 3) muscle atrophy. The mechanisms that underlie these pathways are a complex interplay of inflammation, autophagy, disrupted protein synthesis/degradation, and mitochondrial dysfunction. The current lack of therapies to treat cancer-associated muscle weakness highlight the critical need for novel interventions (both pharmacological and non-pharmacological) and mechanistic insight. Moreover, most research in the field has placed emphasis on directly improving muscle mass to improve muscle strength. However, accumulating evidence suggests that loss of muscle function precedes atrophy. This review primarily focuses on cancer-associated muscle weakness, independent of cachexia, and provides a solid background on the underlying mechanisms, methodology, current interventions, gaps in knowledge, and limitations of research in the field. Moreover, we have performed a mini-systematic review of recent research into the mechanisms behind muscle weakness in specific cancer types, along with the main pathways implicated.

Abstract
The β-cell workload increases in the setting of insulin resistance and reduced β-cell mass, which occurs in type 2 and type 1 diabetes, respectively. The prolonged elevation of insulin production and secretion during the pathogenesis of diabetes results in β-cell ER stress. The depletion of β-cell Ca2+ER during ER stress activates the unfolded protein response, leading to β-cell dysfunction. Ca2+ER is involved in many pathways that are critical to β-cell function, such as protein processing, tuning organelle and cytosolic Ca2+ handling, and modulating lipid homeostasis. Mutations that promote β-cell ER stress and deplete Ca2+ER stores are associated with or cause diabetes (e.g., mutations in ryanodine receptors and insulin). Thus, improving β-cell Ca2+ER handling and reducing ER stress under diabetogenic conditions could preserve β-cell function and delay or prevent the onset of diabetes. This review focuses on how mechanisms that control β-cell Ca2+ER are perturbed during the pathogenesis of diabetes and contribute to β-cell failure.

Abstract
RyR1 is an intracellular Ca2+ channel important in excitable cells such as neurons and muscle fibers. Ca2+ activates it at low concentrations and inhibits it at high concentrations. Mg2+ is the main physiological RyR1 inhibitor, an effect that is overridden upon activation. Despite the significance of Mg2+-mediated inhibition, the molecular-level mechanisms remain unclear. In this work we determined two cryo-EM structures of RyR1 with Mg2+ up to 2.8 Å resolution, identifying multiple Mg2+ binding sites. Mg2+ inhibits at the known Ca2+ activating site and we propose that the EF hand domain is an inhibitory divalent cation sensor. Both divalent cations bind to ATP within a crevice, contributing to the precise transmission of allosteric changes within the enormous channel protein. Notably, Mg2+ inhibits RyR1 by interacting with the gating helices as validated by molecular dynamics. This structural insight enhances our understanding of how Mg2+ inhibition is overcome during excitation.

Abstract
In this report we present seven lines of bioinformatic evidence supporting the conclusion that the Pentameric Ligand-gated Ion Channel (pLIC) Family is a member of the Voltage-gated Ion Channel (VIC) Superfamily. In our approach, we used the Transporter Classification Database (TCDB) as a reference and applied a series of bioinformatic methods to search for similarities between the pLIC family and members of the VIC superfamily. These include: (1) sequence similarity, (2) compatibility of topology and hydropathy profiles, (3) shared domains, (4) conserved motifs, (5) similarity of Hidden Markov Model profiles between families, (6) common 3D structural folds, and (7) clustering analysis of all families. Furthermore, sequence and structural comparisons as well as the identification of a 3-TMS repeat unit in the VIC superfamily suggests that the sixth transmembrane segment evolved into a re-entrant loop. This evidence suggests that the voltage-sensor domain and the channel domain have a common origin. The classification of the pLIC family within the VIC superfamily sheds light onto the topological origins of this family and its evolution, which will facilitate experimental verification and further research into this superfamily by the scientific community.

Abstract
In a previous report, we demonstrated that Cbx1, PurB and Sp3 inhibited cardiac muscle differentiation by increasing nucleosome density around cardiac muscle gene promoters. Since cardiac and skeletal muscle express many of the same proteins, we asked if Cbx1, PurB and Sp3 similarly regulated skeletal muscle differentiation. In a C2C12 model of skeletal muscle differentiation, Cbx1 and PurB knockdown increased myotube formation. In contrast, Sp3 knockdown inhibited myotube formation, suggesting that Sp3 played opposing roles in cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle differentiation. Consistent with this finding, Sp3 knockdown also inhibited various muscle-specific genes. The Cbx1, PurB and Sp3 proteins are believed to influence gene-expression in part by altering nucleosome position. Importantly, we developed a statistical approach to determine if changes in nucleosome positioning were significant and applied it to understanding the architecture of muscle-specific genes. Through this novel statistical approach, we found that during myogenic differentiation, skeletal muscle-specific genes undergo a set of unique nucleosome changes which differ significantly from those shown in commonly expressed muscle genes. While Sp3 binding was associated with nucleosome loss, there appeared no correlation with the aforementioned nucleosome changes. In summary, we have identified a novel role for Sp3 in skeletal muscle differentiation and through the application of quantifiable MNase-seq have discovered unique fingerprints of nucleosome changes for various classes of muscle genes during myogenic differentiation.

Abstract
We have previously demonstrated that type II ryanodine receptors (RyR2) tetramers can be rapidly rearranged in response to a phosphorylation cocktail. The cocktail modified downstream targets indiscriminately, making it impossible to determine whether phosphorylation of RyR2 was an essential element of the response. Here, we used the β-agonist isoproterenol and mice homozygous for one of the following clinically relevant mutations: S2030A, S2808A, S2814A, or S2814D. We measured the length of the dyad using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and directly visualized RyR2 distribution using dual-tilt electron tomography. We found that the S2814D mutation, by itself, significantly expanded the dyad and reorganized the tetramers, suggesting a direct link between the phosphorylation state of the tetramer and its microarchitecture. S2808A and S2814A mutant mice, as well as wild types, had significant expansions of their dyads in response to isoproterenol, while S2030A mutants did not. In agreement with functional data from these mutants, S2030 and S2808 were necessary for a complete β-adrenergic response, unlike S2814 mutants. Additionally, all mutants had unique effects on the organization of their tetramer arrays. Lastly, the correlation of structural with functional changes suggests that tetramer-tetramer contacts play an important functional role. We thus conclude that both the size of the dyad and the arrangement of the tetramers are linked to the state of the channel tetramer and can be dynamically altered by a β-adrenergic receptor agonist.

Abstract
Increasing evidence suggests that simply reducing β-amyloid (Aβ) plaques may not significantly affect the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). There is also increasing evidence indicating that AD progression is driven by a vicious cycle of soluble Aβ-induced neuronal hyperactivity. In support of this, it has recently been shown that genetically and pharmacologically limiting ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2) open time prevents neuronal hyperactivity, memory impairment, dendritic spine loss and neuronal cell death in AD mouse models. By contrast, increased RyR2 open probability (Po) exacerbates the onset of familial AD-associated neuronal dysfunction and induces AD-like defects in the absence of AD-causing gene mutations. Thus, RyR2-dependent modulation of neuronal hyperactivity represents a promising new target for combating AD.

Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rare adult-onset neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive motor neuron (MN) loss, muscle denervation and paralysis. Over the past several decades, researchers have made tremendous efforts to understand the pathogenic mechanisms underpinning ALS, with much yet to be resolved. ALS is described as a non-cell autonomous condition with pathology detected in both MNs and non-neuronal cells, such as glial cells and skeletal muscle. Studies in ALS patient and animal models reveal ubiquitous abnormalities in mitochondrial structure and function, and disturbance of intracellular calcium homeostasis in various tissue types, suggesting a pivotal role of aberrant mitochondrial calcium uptake and dysfunctional calcium signalling cascades in ALS pathogenesis. Calcium signalling and mitochondrial dysfunction are intricately related to the manifestation of cell death contributing to MN loss and skeletal muscle dysfunction. In this review, we discuss the potential contribution of intracellular calcium signalling, particularly mitochondrial calcium uptake, in ALS pathogenesis. Functional consequences of excessive mitochondrial calcium uptake and possible therapeutic strategies targeting mitochondrial calcium uptake or the mitochondrial calcium uniporter, the main channel mediating mitochondrial calcium influx, are also discussed.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca2+) regulates a multitude of cellular processes during fertilization and throughout adult life by acting as an intracellular messenger to control effector functions in excitable and non-excitable cells. Changes in intracellular Ca2+ levels are driven by the co-ordinated action of Ca2+ channels, pumps, and exchangers, and the resulting signals are shaped and decoded by Ca2+-binding proteins to drive rapid and long-term cellular processes ranging from neurotransmission and cardiac contraction to gene transcription and cell death. S-acylation, a lipid post-translational modification, is emerging as a critical regulator of several important Ca2+-handling proteins. S-acylation is a reversible and dynamic process involving the attachment of long-chain fatty acids (most commonly palmitate) to cysteine residues of target proteins by a family of 23 proteins acyltransferases (zDHHC, or PATs). S-acylation modifies the conformation of proteins and their interactions with membrane lipids, thereby impacting intra- and intermolecular interactions, protein stability, and subcellular localization. Disruptions of S-acylation can alter Ca2+ signalling and have been implicated in the development of pathologies such as heart disease, neurodegenerative disorders, and cancer. Here, we review the recent literature on the S-acylation of Ca2+ transport proteins of organelles and of the plasma membrane and highlight the molecular basis and functional consequence of their S-acylation as well as the therapeutic potential of targeting this regulation for diseases caused by alterations in cellular Ca2+ fluxes.

Abstract
The implementation of three-dimensional tissue engineering concurrently with stem cell technology holds great promise for in vitro research in pharmacology and toxicology and modeling cardiac diseases, particularly for rare genetic and pediatric diseases for which animal models, immortal cell lines, and biopsy samples are unavailable. It also allows for a rapid assessment of phenotype-genotype relationships and tissue response to pharmacological manipulation. Mutations in the TSC1 and TSC2 genes lead to dysfunctional mTOR signaling and cause tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), a genetic disorder that affects multiple organ systems, principally the brain, heart, skin, and kidneys. Here we differentiated healthy (CC3) and tuberous sclerosis (TSP8-15) human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) into cardiomyocytes to create engineered cardiac tissue constructs (ECTCs). We investigated and compared their mechano-elastic properties and gene expression and assessed the effects of rapamycin, a potent inhibitor of the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR). The TSP8-15 ECTCs had increased chronotropy compared to healthy ECTCs. Rapamycin induced positive inotropic and chronotropic effects (i.e., increased contractility and beating frequency, respectively) in the CC3 ECTCs but did not cause significant changes in the TSP8-15 ECTCs. A differential gene expression analysis revealed 926 up- and 439 down-regulated genes in the TSP8-15 ECTCs compared to their healthy counterparts. The application of rapamycin initiated the differential expression of 101 and 31 genes in the CC3 and TSP8-15 ECTCs, respectively. A gene ontology analysis showed that in the CC3 ECTCs, the positive inotropic and chronotropic effects of rapamycin correlated with positively regulated biological processes, which were primarily related to the metabolism of lipids and fatty and amino acids, and with negatively regulated processes, which were predominantly associated with cell proliferation and muscle and tissue development. In conclusion, this study describes for the first time an in vitro TSC cardiac tissue model, illustrates the response of normal and TSC ECTCs to rapamycin, and provides new insights into the mechanisms of TSC.

Abstract
Background RYR1-related myopathies (RYR1-RM) are caused by pathogenic variants in the RYR1 gene which encodes the type 1 ryanodine receptor (RyR1). RyR1 is the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) calcium release channel that mediates excitation-contraction coupling in skeletal muscle. RyR1 sub-conductance, SR calcium leak, reduced RyR1 expression, and oxidative stress often contribute to RYR1-RM pathogenesis. Loss of RyR1-calstabin1 association, SR calcium leak, and increased RyR1 open probability were observed in 17 RYR1-RM patient skeletal muscle biopsies and improved following ex vivo treatment with Rycal compounds. Thus, we initiated a first-in-patient trial of Rycal S48168 (ARM210) in ambulatory adults with genetically confirmed RYR1-RM. Methods Participants received 120 mg (n = 3) or 200 mg (n = 4) S48168 (ARM210) daily for 29 days. The primary endpoint was safety and tolerability. Exploratory endpoints included S48168 (ARM210) pharmacokinetics (PK), target engagement, motor function measure (MFM)-32, hand grip and pinch strength, timed functional tests, PROMIS fatigue scale, semi-quantitative physical exam strength measurements, and oxidative stress biomarkers. The trial was registered with clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04141670) and was conducted at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center between October 28, 2019 and December 12, 2021. Findings S48168 (ARM210) was well-tolerated, did not cause any serious adverse events, and exhibited a dose-dependent PK profile. Three of four participants who received the 200 mg/day dose reported improvements in PROMIS-fatigue at 28 days post-dosing, and also demonstrated improved proximal muscle strength on physical examination. Interpretation S48168 (ARM210) demonstrated favorable safety, tolerability, and PK, in RYR1-RM affected individuals. Most participants who received 200 mg/day S48168 (ARM210) reported decreased fatigue, a key symptom of RYR1-RM. These results set the foundation for a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled proof of concept trial to determine efficacy of S48168 (ARM210) in RYR1-RM.

Abstract
CONTEXT Ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are large intracellular ligand-gated calcium release ion channels. Mutations in human RyR1 in combination with a volatile anesthetic or muscle relaxant are known to cause leaky RyRs resulting in malignant hyperthermia (MH). This has long been primarily treated with the RyR inhibitory drug dantrolene. Alternatives to dantrolene as a RyR inhibitor may be found through computer-aided drug design. Additionally, molecular dynamics (MD) studies of dantrolene interacting with RyRs may reveal its full mechanism of action. The availability of accurate force field parameters is important for the success of both. METHODS In this study, force field parameters for dantrolene were obtained from the CHARMM General Force Field (CGenFF) program and optimized using the force field toolkit (FFTK) and FFParam programs. The obtained parameters were then validated by a comparison between calculated and experimental IR spectra and normal mode analysis, among other techniques.

Abstract
In heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, profound cellular and molecular changes have recently been documented in the failing myocardium. These changes include altered calcium handling and metabolic efficiency of the cardiac myocyte, reactivation of the fetal gene program, changes in the electrophysiological properties of the heart, and accumulation of collagen (fibrosis) at the interstitial level. Cardiac contractility modulation therapy is an innovative device-based therapy currently approved for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction in patients with narrow QRS complex and under investigation for the treatment of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. This therapy is based on the delivery of high-voltage biphasic electrical signals to the septal wall of the right ventricle during the absolute refractory period of the myocardium. At the cellular level, in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, cardiac contractility modulation therapy has been shown to restore calcium handling and improve the metabolic status of cardiac myocytes, reverse the heart failure-associated fetal gene program, and reduce the extent of interstitial fibrosis. This review summarizes the preclinical literature on the use of cardiac contractility modulation therapy in heart failure with reduced and preserved ejection fraction, correlating the molecular and electrophysiological effects with the clinical benefits demonstrated by this therapy.

Abstract
Hippocampal synaptic plasticity is widely considered the cellular basis of learning and spatial memory processes. This article highlights the central role of Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in hippocampal synaptic plasticity and hippocampus-dependent memory in health and disease. The key participation of ryanodine receptor (RyR) channels, which are the principal Ca2+ release channels expressed in the hippocampus, in these processes is emphasized. It is proposed that the increased neuronal oxidative tone displayed by hippocampal neurons during aging or Alzheimer's disease (AD) leads to excessive activation of RyR-mediated Ca2+ release, a process that is highly redox-sensitive, and that this abnormal response contributes to and aggravates these deleterious conditions.

Abstract
The suppression mechanism of Tregs remains an intensely investigated topic. As our focus has shifted toward a model centered on indirect inhibition of DCs, a universally applicable effector mechanism controlled by the transcription factor forkhead box P3 (Foxp3) expression has not been found. Here, we report that Foxp3 blocked the transcription of ER Ca2+-release channel ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2). Reduced RyR2 shut down basal Ca2+ oscillation in Tregs, which reduced m-calpain activities that are needed for T cells to disengage from DCs, suggesting a persistent blockage of DC antigen presentation. RyR2 deficiency rendered the CD4+ T cell pool immune suppressive and caused it to behave in the same manner as Foxp3+ Tregs in viral infection, asthma, hypersensitivity, colitis, and tumor development. In the absence of Foxp3, Ryr2-deficient CD4+ T cells rescued the systemic autoimmunity associated with scurfy mice. Therefore, Foxp3-mediated Ca2+ signaling inhibition may be a central effector mechanism of Treg immune suppression.

A potent and selective cis-amide inhibitor of ryanodine receptor 2 as a candidate for cardiac arrhythmia treatment. Eur J Med Chem 2023; 262:115910.

Abstract
Ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2) is a Ca2+ release channel mainly located on the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) membrane of heart muscle cells and regulates the concentration of Ca2+ in the cytosol. RyR2 overactivation causes potentially lethal cardiac arrhythmias, but no specific inhibitor is yet available. Herein we developed the first highly potent and selective RyR2 inhibitor, TMDJ-035, containing 3,5-difluoro substituents on the A ring and a 4-fluoro substituent on the B ring, based on a comprehensive structure-activity relationship (SAR) study of tetrazole compound 1. The SAR study also showed that the amide conformation is critical for inhibitory potency. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and variable-temperature 1H NMR revealed that TMDJ-035 strongly favors cis-amide configuration, while the inactive analogue TMDJ-011 with a secondary amide takes trans-amide configuration. Examination of the selectivity among RyRs indicated that TMDJ-035 displayed high selectivity for RyR2. TMDJ-035 suppressed abnormal Ca2+ waves and transients in isolated cardiomyocytes from RyR2-mutated mice. It appears to be a promising candidate drug for treating cardiac arrhythmias due to RyR2 overactivation, as well as a tool for studying the mechanism and dynamics of RyR2 channel gating.

Abstract
To discover new multifunctional agents for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, we designed and synthesized a series of compounds with a cyclopropyl alcohol moiety and evaluated them in biochemical assays. Biological screening identified derivatives with dual activity: preventing Ca2+ leak through ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2) and enhancing cardiac sarco-endoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ load by activation of Ca2+-dependent ATPase 2a (SERCA2a). The compounds that stabilize RyR2 at micro- and nanomolar concentrations are either structurally related to RyR-stabilizing drugs or Rycals or have structures similar to them. The novel compounds also demonstrate a good ability to increase ATP hydrolysis mediated by SERCA2a activity in cardiac microsomes, e.g., the half-maximal effective concentration (EC50) was as low as 383 nM for compound 12a, which is 1,4-benzothiazepine with two cyclopropanol groups. Our findings indicate that these derivatives can be considered as new lead compounds to improve cardiac function in heart failure.

Abstract
Conductive biomaterials may capture native or exogenous bioelectric signaling, but incorporation of conductive moieties is limited by cytotoxicity, poor injectability, or insufficient stimulation. Microgel annealed scaffolds are promising as hydrogel-based materials due to their inherent void space that facilitates cell migration and proliferation better than nanoporous bulk hydrogels. Conductive microgels are generated from poly(ethylene) glycol (PEG and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT: PSS) to explore the interplay of void volume and conductivity on myogenic differentiation. PEDOT: PSS increases microgel conductivity two-fold while maintaining stiffness, annealing strength, and viability of associated myoblastic cells. C2C12 myoblasts exhibit increases in the late-stage differentiation marker myosin heavy chain as a function of both porosity and conductivity. Myogenin, an earlier marker, is influenced only by porosity. Human skeletal muscle-derived cells exhibit increased Myod1, insulin like growth factor-1, and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 2 at earlier time points on conductive microgel scaffolds compared to non-conductive scaffolds. They also secrete more vascular endothelial growth factor at early time points and express factors that led to macrophage polarization patterns observe during muscle repair. These data indicate that conductivity aids myogenic differentiation of myogenic cell lines and primary cells, motivating the need for future translational studies to promote muscle repair.

Abstract
Calcium research, since its pivotal discovery in the early 1800s through the heating of limestone, has led to the identification of its multi-functional roles. These include its functions as a reducing agent in chemical processes, structural properties in shells and bones, and significant role in cells relating to this review: cellular signaling. Calcium signaling involves the movement of calcium ions within or between cells, which can affect the electrochemical gradients between intra- and extracellular membranes, ligand binding, enzyme activity, and other mechanisms that determine cell fate. Calcium signaling in muscle, as elucidated by the sliding filament model, plays a significant role in muscle contraction. However, as organisms age, alterations occur within muscle tissue. These changes include sarcopenia, loss of neuromuscular junctions, and changes in mineral concentration, all of which have implications for calcium's role. Additionally, a field of study that has gained recent attention, cellular senescence, is associated with aging and disturbed calcium homeostasis, and is thought to affect sarcopenia progression. Changes seen in calcium upon aging may also be influenced by its crosstalk with other minerals such as iron and zinc. This review investigates the role of calcium signaling in aging muscle and cellular senescence. We also aim to elucidate the interactions among calcium, iron, and zinc across various cells and conditions, ultimately deepening our understanding of calcium signaling in muscle aging.

Screening for Novel Type 2 Ryanodine Receptor Inhibitors by Endoplasmic Reticulum Ca 2+ Monitoring. Mol Pharmacol 2023; 104:275-286.

Abstract
Type 2 ryanodine receptor (RyR2) is a Ca2+ release channel on the endoplasmic (ER)/sarcoplasmic reticulum that plays a central role in the excitation-contraction coupling in the heart. Hyperactivity of RyR2 has been linked to ventricular arrhythmias in patients with catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia and heart failure, where spontaneous Ca2+ release via hyperactivated RyR2 depolarizes diastolic membrane potential to induce triggered activity. In such cases, drugs that suppress RyR2 activity are expected to prevent the arrhythmias, but there is no clinically available RyR2 inhibitors at present. In this study, we searched for RyR2 inhibitors from a well-characterized compound library using a recently developed ER Ca2+-based assay, where the inhibition of RyR2 activity was detected by the increase in ER Ca2+ signals from R-CEPIA1er, a genetically encoded ER Ca2+ indicator, in RyR2-expressing HEK293 cells. By screening 1535 compounds in the library, we identified three compounds (chloroxylenol, methyl orsellinate, and riluzole) that greatly increased the ER Ca2+ signal. All of the three compounds suppressed spontaneous Ca2+ oscillations in RyR2-expressing HEK293 cells and correspondingly reduced the Ca2+-dependent [3H]ryanodine binding activity. In cardiomyocytes from RyR2-mutant mice, the three compounds effectively suppressed abnormal Ca2+ waves without substantial effects on the action-potential-induced Ca2+ transients. These results confirm that ER Ca2+-based screening is useful for identifying modulators of ER Ca2+ release channels and suggest that RyR2 inhibitors have potential to be developed as a new category of antiarrhythmic drugs. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: We successfully identified three compounds having RyR2 inhibitory action from a well-characterized compound library using an endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-based assay, and demonstrated that these compounds suppressed arrhythmogenic Ca2+ wave generation without substantially affecting physiological action-potential induced Ca2+ transients in cardiomyocytes. This study will facilitate the development of RyR2-specific inhibitors as a potential new class of drugs for life-threatening arrhythmias induced by hyperactivation of RyR2.

Abstract
Mitochondria are the bioenergetic organelles responsible for the maintenance of cellular homeostasis and have also been found to be associated with inflammation. They are necessary to induce and maintain innate and adaptive immune cell responses, acting as signalling platforms and mediators in effector responses. These organelles are also known to play a pivotal role in cation homeostasis as well, which regulates the inflammatory responses through the modulation of these cation channels. In particular, this review focuses on mitochondrial Ca2+ and K+ fluxes in the regulation of inflammatory response. Nevertheless, this review aims to understand the interplay of these inflammation inducers and pathophysiological conditions. In detail, we discuss some examples of chronic inflammation such as lung, bowel, and metabolic inflammatory diseases caused by a persistent activation of the innate immune response due to a dysregulation of mitochondrial cation homeostasis.

Abstract
TRPV1 represents a non-selective transient receptor potential cation channel found not only in sensory neurons, but also in motor nerve endings and in skeletal muscle fibers. However, the role of TRPV1 in the functioning of the neuromuscular junction has not yet been fully established. In this study, the Levator Auris Longus muscle preparations were used to assess the effect of pharmacological activation of TRPV1 channels on neuromuscular transmission. The presence of TRPV1 channels in the nerve terminal and in the muscle fiber was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. It was verified by electrophysiology that the TRPV1 channel agonist capsaicin inhibits the acetylcholine release, and this effect was completely absent after preliminary application of the TRPV1 channel blocker SB 366791. Nerve stimulation revealed an increase of amplitude of isometric tetanic contractions upon application of capsaicin which was also eliminated after preliminary application of SB 366791. Similar data were obtained during direct muscle stimulation. Thus, pharmacological activation of TRPV1 channels affects the functioning of both the pre- and postsynaptic compartment of the neuromuscular junction. A moderate decrease in the amount of acetylcholine released from the motor nerve allows to maintain a reserve pool of the mediator to ensure a longer signal transmission process, and an increase in the force of muscle contraction, in its turn, also implies more effective physiological muscle activity in response to prolonged stimulation. This assumption is supported by the fact that when muscle was indirect stimulated with a fatigue protocol, muscle fatigue was attenuated in the presence of capsaicin.

Abstract
Statins inhibit HMG-CoA reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol synthesis, and are the cornerstone of lipid-lowering treatment. They significantly reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, musculoskeletal symptoms are observed in 7 to 29 percent of all users. The mechanism underlying these complaints has become increasingly clear, but less is known about the effect on cardiac muscle function. Here we discuss both adverse and beneficial effects of statins on the heart. Statins exert pleiotropic protective effects in the diseased heart that are independent of their cholesterol-lowering activity, including reduction in hypertrophy, fibrosis and infarct size. Adverse effects of statins seem to be associated with altered cardiomyocyte metabolism. In this review we explore the differences in the mechanism of action and potential side effects of statins in cardiac and skeletal muscle and how they present clinically. These insights may contribute to a more personalized treatment strategy.

The expression of tuftelin 1 as a new theranostic marker in early diagnosis and as a therapeutic target in hepatocellular carcinoma. Cell Biochem Funct 2023; 41:788-800. [PMID: 37470499 DOI: 10.1002/cbf.3828] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2023] [Revised: 06/06/2023] [Accepted: 07/08/2023] [Indexed: 07/21/2023]
Abstract
Currently, many challenges are associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) as the failure of early diagnosis, and the lack of effective therapy. This study aimed to investigate the possible role of tuftelin 1 (TUFT 1) in the early diagnosis of HCC and evaluate the potential contribution of the TUFT 1/Ca+2 /phosphinositol 3 kinase (PI3K) pathway in dantrolene sodium (Dan) therapeutic outcomes. The study was performed on two sets of rats, the staging (30 rats) and treatment sets (80 rats). HCC was induced by a single dose of diethylnitrosamine (DENA). The hepatic content of TUFT 1 protein was assayed via western blot and immunohistochemistry (IHC), while PI3K, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), Cyclin D1, and matrix-metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) contents were assessed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Hepatic and serum calcium were measured colorimetrically. Furthermore, the nuclear proliferation marker, (Ki-67), (Kiel [Ki] where the antibody was produced in the University Department of Pathology and the original clone number is 67)-expression was assessed by IHC. TUFT 1/Ca+2 /PI3K signaling pathway was progressively activated in the 3 studied stages of HCC with subsequent upregulation of angiogenesis, cell cycle, and metastasis. More interestingly, Dan led to TUFT 1/Ca+2 /PI3K pathway disruption by diminution of the hepatic contents of TUFT 1, calcium, PI3K, VEGF, Cyclin D1, and MMP-9 in a dose-dependent pattern. TUFT 1 can serve as a theranostic biomarker in HCC. Moreover, Dan exerted an antineoplastic effect against HCC via the interruption of TUFT 1/Ca+2 /PI3K pathway.

Abstract
We recently reported that vastus lateralis (VL) cross-sectional area (CSA) increases after 7 weeks of resistance training (RT, 2 days/week), with declines occurring following 7 weeks of subsequent treadmill high-intensity interval training (HIIT) (3 days/week). Herein, we examined the effects of this training paradigm on skeletal muscle proteolytic markers. VL biopsies were obtained from 11 untrained college-aged males at baseline (PRE), after 7 weeks of RT (MID), and after 7 weeks of HIIT (POST). Tissues were analysed for proteolysis markers, and in vitro experiments were performed to provide additional insights. Atrogene mRNAs (TRIM63, FBXO32, FOXO3A) were upregulated at POST versus both PRE and MID (P < 0.05). 20S proteasome core protein abundance increased at POST versus PRE (P = 0.031) and MID (P = 0.049). 20S proteasome activity, and protein levels for calpain-2 and Beclin-1 increased at MID and POST versus PRE (P < 0.05). Ubiquitinated proteins showed model significance (P = 0.019) with non-significant increases at MID and POST (P > 0.05). in vitro experiments recapitulated the training phenotype when stimulated with a hypertrophic stimulus (insulin-like growth factor 1; IGF1) followed by a subsequent AMP-activated protein kinase activator (5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide; AICAR), as demonstrated by larger myotube diameter in IGF1-treated cells versus IGF1 followed by AICAR treatments (I+A; P = 0.017). Muscle protein synthesis (MPS) levels were also greater in IGF1-treated versus I+A myotubes (P < 0.001). In summary, the loss in RT-induced VL CSA with HIIT coincided with increases in several proteolytic markers, and sustained proteolysis may have driven this response. Moreover, while not measured in humans, we interpret our in vitro data to suggest that (unlike RT) HIIT does not stimulate MPS. NEW FINDINGS: What is the central question of this study? Determining if HIIT-induced reductions in muscle hypertrophy following a period of resistance training coincided with increases in proteolytic markers. What is the main finding and its importance? Several proteolytic markers were elevated during the HIIT training period implying that increases in muscle proteolysis may have played a role in HIIT-induced reductions in muscle hypertrophy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CD38 has been established as an important therapeutic target for multiple myeloma (MM), for which two CD38 antibodies are currently approved-daratumumab and isatuximab. CD38 is an ectoenzyme that degrades NAD and its precursors and is involved in the production of adenosine and other metabolites. AIM Among the various mechanisms by which CD38 antibodies can induce MM cell death is immunomodulation, including multiple pathways for CD38-mediated T-cell activation. Patients who respond to anti-CD38 targeting treatment experience more marked changes in T-cell expansion, activity, and clonality than nonresponders. IMPLICATIONS Resistance mechanisms that undermine the immunomodulatory effects of CD38-targeting therapies can be tumor intrinsic, such as the downregulation of CD38 surface expression and expression of complement inhibitor proteins, and immune microenvironment-related, such as changes to the natural killer (NK) cell numbers and function in the bone marrow niche. There are numerous strategies to overcome this resistance, which include identifying and targeting other therapeutic targets involved in, for example, adenosine production, the activation of NK cells or monocytes through immunomodulatory drugs and their combination with elotuzumab, or with bispecific T-cell engagers.

Successful treatment of frequent premature ventricular contractions and non-sustained ventricular tachycardia with verapamil and flecainide in RYR1-related myopathy: a case report. Eur Heart J Case Rep 2023; 7:ytad509.

Abstract
Background Ryanodine receptor 1 (RYR1)-related myopathies are a group of congenital muscle diseases caused by RYR1 mutations. These mutations may cause centronuclear myopathy, a congenital neuromuscular disorder characterized by clinical muscle weakness and pathological presence of centrally placed nuclei on muscle biopsy. Mutations in RYR2 cause ventricular arrhythmias that can be treated with flecainide; however, reports of ventricular arrhythmias in RYR1-related myopathies are rare. Herein we report a case of centronuclear myopathy with RYR1 mutations who exhibited frequent premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) and non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT), which was successfully treated with verapamil and flecainide. Case summary At 7 months, the patient presented neurological manifestations of hypotonia and delayed motor development. A skeletal muscle biopsy performed at age 4 years led to the diagnosis of centronuclear myopathy. At age 15 years, frequent PVCs and NSVT were identified on the electrocardiogram and 24 h Holter monitoring. Treatment with verapamil was initiated; however, it was not beneficial. Therefore, flecainide was added to the treatment, decreasing the frequency of PVCs and NSVT. Non-sustained ventricular tachycardia disappeared at the age of 21, and PVCs almost disappeared at the age of 22. Genetic testing revealed c.13216delG (p.E4406Rfs*35), c.14874G>C (p.K4958N), and c.9892G>A (p.A3298T) in RYR1, and the compound heterozygosity of variants was confirmed by analysis of the parents. Discussion This is the first report of ventricular arrhythmia associated with RYR1-related myopathy that was successfully treated with verapamil and flecainide. The combination of verapamil and flecainide may be a useful treatment option for ventricular arrhythmias in patients with RYR1-related myopathies.

Abstract
The identification of novel drug targets is needed to improve the outcomes of heart failure (HF). G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent the largest family of targets for already approved drugs, thus providing an opportunity for drug repurposing. Here, we aimed (i) to investigate the differential expressions of 288 cardiac GPCRs via droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) and bulk RNA sequencing (RNAseq) in a rat model of left ventricular pressure-overload; (ii) to compare RNAseq findings with those of ddPCR; and (iii) to screen and test for novel, translatable GPCR drug targets in HF. Male Wistar rats subjected to transverse aortic constriction (TAC, n = 5) showed significant systolic dysfunction vs. sham operated animals (SHAM, n = 5) via echocardiography. In TAC vs. SHAM hearts, RNAseq identified 69, and ddPCR identified 27 significantly differentially expressed GPCR mRNAs, 8 of which were identified using both methods, thus showing a correlation between the two methods. Of these, Prostaglandin-F2α-receptor (Ptgfr) was further investigated and localized on cardiomyocytes and fibroblasts in murine hearts via RNA-Scope. Antagonizing Ptgfr via AL-8810 reverted angiotensin-II-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy in vitro. In conclusion, using ddPCR as a novel screening method, we were able to identify GPCR targets in HF. We also show that the antagonism of Ptgfr could be a novel target in HF by alleviating cardiomyocyte hypertrophy.

Abstract
A high incidence of thymic lymphoma has been noted in mice deficient of retinoid-related orphan receptor γ2 (RORγ2), which is required for differentiation of naïve CD4+ T cells into TH17 cells. Using a RORγ homozygous knockout (KO) mouse model of thymic lymphoma, we characterized this tumor progression and investigated the utility of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) signatures as a non-invasive circulating biomarker for early prediction of malignancy. No evidence for malignancy was noted in the wild-type mice, while primary thymic lymphoma with multi-organ metastasis was observed microscopically in 97% of the homozygous RORγ KO mice. The severity of thymic lymphoma was not age-dependent in the KO mice of 2 to 4 months old. Differential enrichment of 5hmC in thymic DNA and plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) was compared across different stages of tumor progression. Random forest modeling of plasma cfDNA achieved good predictivity (AUC = 0.74) in distinguishing early non-metastatic thymic lymphoma compared to cancer-free controls, while perfect predictivity was achieved with advanced multi-organ metastatic disease (AUC = 1.00). Lymphoid-specific genes involved in thymocyte selection during T cell development (Themis, Tox) were differentially enriched in both plasma and thymic tissue. This could help in differentiating thymic lymphoma from other tumors commonly detected in rodent carcinogenicity studies used in pharmaceutical drug development to inform human malignancy risk. Overall, these results provide a proof-of-concept for using circulating cfDNA profiles in rodent carcinogenicity studies for early risk assessment of novel pharmaceutical targets.

Abstract
Bioelectricity is an understudied phenomenon to guide tissue homeostasis and regeneration. Conductive biomaterials may capture native or exogenous bioelectric signaling, but incorporation of conductive moieties is limited by cytotoxicity, poor injectability, or insufficient stimulation. Microgel annealed scaffolds are promising as hydrogel-based materials due to their inherent void space that facilitates cell migration and proliferation better than nanoporous bulk hydrogels. We generated conductive microgels from poly(ethylene) glycol and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) to explore the interplay of void volume and conductivity on myogenic differentiation. PEDOT:PSS increased microgel conductivity over 2-fold while maintaining stiffness, annealing strength, and viability of associated myoblastic cells. C2C12 myoblasts exhibited increases in the late-stage differentiation marker myosin heavy chain as a function of both porosity and conductivity. Myogenin, an earlier marker, was influenced only by porosity. Human skeletal muscle derived cells exhibited increased Myod1 , IGF-1, and IGFBP-2 at earlier timepoints on conductive microgel scaffolds compared to non-conductive scaffolds. They also secreted higher levels of VEGF at early timepoints and expressed factors that led to macrophage polarization patterns observed during muscle repair. These data indicate that conductivity aids myogenic differentiation of myogenic cell lines and primary cells, motivating the need for future translational studies to promote muscle repair.

Abstract
This review discusses the driving principles that may underlie neurodegeneration in dementia, represented most dominantly by Alzheimer's disease (AD). While a myriad of different disease risk factors contribute to AD, these ultimately converge to a common disease outcome. Based on decades of research, a picture emerges where upstream risk factors combine in a feedforward pathophysiological cycle, culminating in a rise of cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca2+ ]c ) that triggers neurodegeneration. In this framework, positive AD risk factors entail conditions, characteristics, or lifestyles that initiate or accelerate self-reinforcing cycles of pathophysiology, whereas negative risk factors or therapeutic interventions, particularly those mitigating elevated [Ca2+ ]c , oppose these effects and therefore have neuroprotective potential.

Abstract
Biochemical reactions in cells serve as the endogenous source of heat, maintaining a constant body temperature. This process requires proper control; otherwise, serious consequences can arise due to the unwanted but unavoidable responses of biological systems to heat. This review aims to present a range of responses to heat in biological systems across various spatial scales. We begin by examining the impaired thermogenesis of malignant hyperthermia in model mice and skeletal muscle cells, demonstrating that the progression of this disease is caused by a positive feedback loop between thermally driven Ca2+ signaling and thermogenesis at the subcellular scale. After we explore thermally driven force generation in both muscle and non-muscle cells, we illustrate how in vitro assays using purified proteins can reveal the heat-responsive properties of proteins and protein assemblies. Building on these experimental findings, we propose the concept of 'trans-scale thermal signaling'.

Abstract
The coordinated release of Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is critical for excitation-contraction coupling. This release is facilitated by ryanodine receptors (RyRs) that are embedded in the SR membrane. In skeletal muscle, activity of RyR1 is regulated by metabolites such as ATP, which upon binding increase channel open probability (Po). To obtain structural insights into the mechanism of RyR1 priming by ATP, we determined several cryo-EM structures of RyR1 bound individually to ATP-γ-S, ADP, AMP, adenosine, adenine, and cAMP. We demonstrate that adenine and adenosine bind RyR1, but AMP is the smallest ATP derivative capable of inducing long-range (>170 Å) structural rearrangements associated with channel activation, establishing a structural basis for key binding site interactions that are the threshold for triggering quaternary structural changes. Our finding that cAMP also induces these structural changes and results in increased channel opening suggests its potential role as an endogenous modulator of RyR1 conductance.

Abstract
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) governs and coordinates several physiological processes through an integrated signaling network, which is responsible for inducing appropriate intracellular metabolic signaling cascades in response to (endo)cannabinoid stimulation. This intricate cellular system ensures the proper functioning of the immune, reproductive, and nervous systems and is involved in the regulation of appetite, memory, metabolism, and development. Cannabinoid receptors have been observed on both cellular and mitochondrial membranes in several tissues and are stimulated by various classes of cannabinoids, rendering the ECS highly versatile. In the context of growth and development, emerging evidence suggests a crucial role for the ECS in cellular growth and differentiation. Indeed, cannabinoids have the potential to disrupt key energy-sensing metabolic signaling pathways requiring mitochondrial-ER crosstalk, whose functioning is essential for successful cellular growth and differentiation. This review aims to explore the extent of cannabinoid-induced cellular dysregulation and its implications for cellular differentiation.

Abstract
Dantrolene sodium (DS) was first introduced as an oral antispasmodic drug. However, in 1975, DS was demonstrated to be effective for managing malignant hyperthermia (MH) and was adopted as the primary therapeutic drug after intravenous administration. However, it is difficult to administer DS intravenously to manage MH. MH is life-threatening, pharmacogenomically related, and induced by depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents or inhalational anesthetics. All anesthesiologists should know the pharmacology of DS. DS suppresses Ca2+ release from ryanodine receptors (RyRs). RyRs are expressed in various tissues, although their distribution differs among subtypes. The anatomical and physiological functions of RyRs have also been demonstrated as effective therapeutic drugs for cardiac arrhythmias, Alzheimer's disease, and other RyR-related diseases. Recently, a new formulation was introduced that enhanced the hydrophilicity of the lipophilic DS. The authors summarize the pharmacological properties of DS and comment on its indications, contraindications, adverse effects, and interactions with other drugs by reviewing reference articles.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As it is unclear whether there is genetic susceptibility to cardiorenal syndrome (CRS), we conducted a genome-wide association study of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM)-induced heart failure (HF) associated with renal insufficiency (RI) in a Chinese population to identify putative susceptibility variants and culprit genes. METHODS A total of 99 Han Chinese patients with DCM-induced chronic HF were selected and divided into one of three groups, namely, HF with normal renal function (Group 1), HF with mild RI (Group 2) and HF with moderate to severe RI (Group 3). Genomic DNA was extracted from each subject for genotyping. RESULTS According to Gene Ontology (GO) function and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis, top 10 lists of molecular function, cell composition and biological process of differential target genes and 15 signalling pathways were discriminated among the three groups. Additionally, sequencing results identified 26 significantly different single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the 15 signalling pathways, including three SNPs (rs57938337, rs6683225 and rs6692782) in ryanodine receptor 2 (RYR2) and two SNPs (rs12439006 and rs16958069) in RYR3. The genotype and allele frequencies of the five SNPs in RYR2 and RYR3 were significantly differential between HF (Group 1) and CRS (Group 2 + 3) patients. CONCLUSION Twenty-six significantly different SNP loci in 17 genes of the 15 KEGG pathways were found in the three patient groups. Among these variants, rs57938337, rs6683225 and rs6692782 in RYR2 and rs12439006 and rs16958069 in RYR3 are associated with RI in Han Chinese patients with heart failure, suggesting that these variants may be used to identify patients susceptible to CRS in the future.

Abstract
Mast cell (MC) activation is implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple immunodysregulatory skin disorders. Activation of an IgE-independent pseudo-allergic route has been recently found to be mainly mediated via Mas-Related G protein-coupled receptor X2 (MRGPRX2). Ryanodine receptor (RYR) regulates intracellular calcium liberation. Calcium mobilization is critical in the regulation of MC functional programs. However, the role of RYR in MRGPRX2-mediated pseudo-allergic skin reaction has not been fully addressed. To study the role of RYR in vivo, we established a murine skin pseudo-allergic reaction model. RYR inhibitor attenuated MRGPRX2 ligand substance P (SP)-induced vascular permeability and neutrophil recruitment. Then, we confirmed the role of RYR in an MC line (LAD2 cells) and primary human skin-derived MCs. In LAD2 cells, RYR inhibitor pretreatment dampened MC degranulation (detected by β-hexosaminidase retlease), calcium mobilization, IL-13, TNF-α, CCL-1, CCL-2 mRNA, and protein expression activated by MRGPRX2 ligands, namely, compound 48/80 (c48/80) and SP. Moreover, the inhibition effect of c48/80 by RYR inhibitor was verified in skin MCs. After the confirmation of RYR2 and RYR3 expression, the isoforms were silenced by siRNA-mediated knockdown. MRGPRX2-induced LAD2 cell exocytosis and cytokine generation were substantially inhibited by RYR3 knockdown, while RYR2 had less contribution. Collectively, our finding suggests that RYR activation contributes to MRGPRX2-triggered pseudo-allergic dermatitis, and provides a potential approach for MRGPRX2-mediated disorders.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia. An early feature of the AD pathology is the dysregulation of intracellular Ca2+ signaling in neurons. In particular, increased Ca2+ release from endoplasmic reticulum-located Ca2+ channels, including inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate type 1 receptors (IP3R1) and ryanodine receptors type 2 (RyR2), have been extensively reported. Known for its anti-apoptotic properties, Bcl-2 also has the ability to bind to and inhibit the Ca2+-flux properties of IP3Rs and RyRs. In this study, the hypothesis that the expression of Bcl-2 proteins can normalize dysregulated Ca2+ signaling in a mouse model of AD (5xFAD) and thereby prevent or slow the progression of AD was examined. Therefore, stereotactic injections of adeno-associated viral vectors expressing Bcl-2 proteins were performed in the CA1 region of the 5xFAD mouse hippocampus. In order to assess the importance of the association with IP3R1, the Bcl-2K17D mutant was also included in these experiments. This K17D mutation has been previously shown to decrease the association of Bcl-2 with IP3R1, thereby impairing its ability to inhibit IP3R1 while not affecting Bcl-2's ability to inhibit RyRs. Here, we demonstrate that Bcl-2 protein expression leads to synaptoprotective and amyloid-protective effects in the 5xFAD animal model. Several of these neuroprotective features are also observed by Bcl-2K17D protein expression, suggesting that these effects are not associated with Bcl-2-mediated inhibition of IP3R1. Potential mechanisms for this Bcl-2 synaptoprotective action may be related to its ability to inhibit RyR2 activity as Bcl-2 and Bcl-2K17D are equally potent in inhibiting RyR2-mediated Ca2+ fluxes. This work indicates that Bcl-2-based strategies hold neuroprotective potential in AD models, though the underlying mechanisms requires further investigation.

Abstract
We have previously demonstrated that type II ryanodine receptors (RyR2) tetramers can be rapidly rearranged in response to a phosphorylation cocktail. The cocktail modified downstream targets indiscriminately making it impossible to determine whether phosphorylation of RyR2 was an essential element of the response. We therefore used the β-agonist isoproterenol and mice with one of the homozygous mutations, S2030A +/+ , S2808A +/+ , S2814A +/+ , or S2814D +/+ , to address this question and to elucidate the role of these clinically relevant mutations. We measured the length of the dyad using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and directly visualized RyR2 distribution using dual-tilt electron tomography. We found that: 1) The S2814D mutation, by itself, significantly expanded the dyad and reorganized the tetramers suggesting a direct link between the phosphorylation state of the tetramer and the microarchitecture. 2) All of the wild-type, as well as the S2808A and S2814A mice, had significant expansions of their dyads in response to ISO, while S2030A did not. 3) In agreement with functional data from the same mutants, S2030 and S2808 were necessary for a complete β-adrenergic response, whereas S2814 was not. 4) All the mutated residues had unique effects on the organization of their tetramer arrays. 5) The correlation of structure with function suggests that tetramer-tetramer contacts play an important functional role. We conclude that both the size of the dyad and the arrangement of the tetramers are linked to the state of the channel tetramer and can be dynamically altered by a β-adrenergic receptor agonist. Summary Analysis of RyR2 mutants suggests a direct link between the phosphorylation state of the channel tetramer and the microarchitecture of the dyad. All phosphorylation site mutations produced significant and unique effects on the structure of the dyad and its response to isoproterenol.

MOLECULAR CELL RESEARCH 2023; 1870:119490.

Abstract
Lead is a highly toxic metal that severely perturbs physiological processes even at sub-micromolar levels, often by disrupting the Ca2+ signaling pathways. Recently, Pb2+-associated cardiac toxicity has emerged, with potential involvement of both the ubiquitous Ca2+ sensor protein calmodulin (CaM) and ryanodine receptors. In this work, we explored the hypothesis that Pb2+ contributes to the pathological phenotype of CaM variants associated with congenital arrhythmias. We performed a thorough spectroscopic and computational characterization of CaM conformational switches in the co-presence of Pb2+ and four missense mutations associated with congenital arrhythmias, namely N53I, N97S, E104A and F141L, and analyzed their effects on the recognition of a target peptide of RyR2. When bound to any of the CaM variants, Pb2+ is difficult to displace even under equimolar Ca2+ concentrations, thus locking all CaM variants in a specific conformation, which exhibits characteristics of coiled-coil assemblies. All arrhythmia-associated variants appear to be more susceptible to Pb2+ than WT CaM, as the conformational transition towards the coiled-coil conformation occurs at lower Pb2+, regardless of the presence of Ca2+, with altered cooperativity. The presence of arrhythmia-associated mutations specifically alters the cation coordination of CaM variants, in some cases involving allosteric communication between the EF-hands in the two domains. Finally, while wild type CaM increases the affinity for the RyR2 target in the presence of Pb2+, no specific pattern could be detected for all other variants, ruling out a synergistic effect of Pb2+ and mutations in the recognition process.

Abstract
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are gaseous chemicals found in ambient air and exhaled breath. In particular, highly reactive aldehydes are frequently found in polluted air and have been linked to various diseases. Thus, extensive studies have been carried out to elucidate disease-specific aldehydes released from the body to develop potential biomarkers for diagnostic purposes. Mammals possess innate sensory systems, such as receptors and ion channels, to detect these VOCs and maintain physiological homeostasis. Recently, electronic biosensors such as the electronic nose have been developed for disease diagnosis. This review aims to present an overview of natural sensory receptors that can detect reactive aldehydes, as well as electronic noses that have the potential to diagnose certain diseases. In this regard, this review focuses on eight aldehydes that are well-defined as biomarkers in human health and disease. It offers insights into the biological aspects and technological advances in detecting aldehyde-containing VOCs. Therefore, this review will aid in understanding the role of aldehyde-containing VOCs in human health and disease and the technological advances for improved diagnosis.

Abstract
Research into the early impacts of Alzheimer's disease (AD) on synapse function is one of the most promising approaches to finding a treatment. In this context, we have recently demonstrated that the Abeta42 peptide, which builds up in the brain during the processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP), targets the ryanodine receptors (RyRs) of mouse hippocampal neurons and potentiates calcium (Ca2+) release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The uncontrolled increase in intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i), leading to the development of Ca2+ dysregulation events and related excitable and synaptic dysfunctions, is a consolidated hallmark of AD onset and possibly other neurodegenerative diseases. Since RyRs contribute to increasing [Ca2+]i and are thought to be a promising target for AD treatment, the goal of this review is to summarize the current level of knowledge regarding the involvement of RyRs in governing neuronal function both in physiological conditions and during the onset of AD.

Abstract
Decreased left ventricle (LV) function caused by genetic mutations or injury often leads to debilitating and fatal cardiovascular disease. LV cardiomyocytes are, therefore, a potentially valuable therapeutical target. Human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hPSC-CMs) are neither homogeneous nor functionally mature, which reduces their utility. Here, we exploit cardiac development knowledge to instruct differentiation of hPSCs specifically toward LV cardiomyocytes. Correct mesoderm patterning and retinoic acid pathway blocking are essential to generate near-homogenous LV-specific hPSC-CMs (hPSC-LV-CMs). These cells transit via first heart field progenitors and display typical ventricular action potentials. Importantly, hPSC-LV-CMs exhibit increased metabolism, reduced proliferation, and improved cytoarchitecture and functional maturity compared with age-matched cardiomyocytes generated using the standard WNT-ON/WNT-OFF protocol. Similarly, engineered heart tissues made from hPSC-LV-CMs are better organized, produce higher force, and beat more slowly but can be paced to physiological levels. Together, we show that functionally matured hPSC-LV-CMs can be obtained rapidly without exposure to current maturation regimes.

Abstract
Disuse atrophy of skeletal muscle is associated with a severe imbalance in cellular Ca2+ homeostasis and marked increase in nuclear apoptosis. Nuclear Ca2+ is involved in the regulation of cellular Ca2+ homeostasis. However, it remains unclear whether nuclear Ca2+ levels change under skeletal muscle disuse conditions, and whether changes in nuclear Ca2+ levels are associated with nuclear apoptosis. In this study, changes in Ca2+ levels, Ca2+ transporters, and regulatory factors in the nucleus of hindlimb unloaded rat soleus muscle were examined to investigate the effects of disuse on nuclear Ca2+ homeostasis and apoptosis. Results showed that, after hindlimb unloading, the nuclear envelope Ca2+ levels ([Ca2+]NE) and nucleocytoplasmic Ca2+ levels ([Ca2+]NC) increased by 78% (p < 0.01) and 106% (p < 0.01), respectively. The levels of Ca2+-ATPase type 2 (Ca2+-ATPase2), Ryanodine receptor 1 (RyR1), Inositol 1,4,5-tetrakisphosphate receptor 1 (IP3R1), Cyclic ADP ribose hydrolase (CD38) and Inositol 1,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (IP3) increased by 470% (p < 0.001), 94% (p < 0.05), 170% (p < 0.001), 640% (p < 0.001) and 12% (p < 0.05), respectively, and the levels of Na+/Ca2+ exchanger 3 (NCX3), Ca2+/calmodulin dependent protein kinase II (CaMK II) and Protein kinase A (PKA) decreased by 54% (p < 0.001), 33% (p < 0.05) and 5% (p > 0.05), respectively. In addition, DNase X is mainly localized in the myonucleus and its activity is elevated after hindlimb unloading. Overall, our results suggest that enhanced Ca2+ uptake from cytoplasm is involved in the increase in [Ca2+]NE after hindlimb unloading. Moreover, the increase in [Ca2+]NC is attributed to increased Ca2+ release into nucleocytoplasm and weakened Ca2+ uptake from nucleocytoplasm. DNase X is activated due to elevated [Ca2+]NC, leading to DNA fragmentation in myonucleus, ultimately initiating myonuclear apoptosis. Nucleocytoplasmic Ca2+ overload may contribute to the increased incidence of myonuclear apoptosis in disused skeletal muscle.
