Abstract
Understanding the mechanisms underlying oro-gustatory detection of dietary fat is critical for the prevention and treatment of obesity. The lipid-binding glycoprotein CD36, which is expressed by circumvallate papillae (CVP) of the mouse tongue, has been implicated in oro-gustatory perception of dietary lipids. Here, we demonstrate that stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1), a sensor of Ca(2+) depletion in the endoplasmic reticulum, mediates fatty acid-induced Ca(2+) signaling in the mouse tongue and fat preference. We showed that linoleic acid (LA) induced the production of arachidonic acid (AA) and lysophosphatidylcholine (Lyso-PC) by activating multiple phospholipase A2 isoforms via CD36. This activation triggered Ca(2+) influx in CD36-positive taste bud cells (TBCs) purified from mouse CVP. LA also induced the production of Ca(2+) influx factor (CIF). STIM1 was found to regulate LA-induced CIF production and the opening of multiple store-operated Ca(2+) (SOC) channels. Furthermore, CD36-positive TBCs from Stim1-/- mice failed to release serotonin, and Stim1-/- mice lost the spontaneous preference for fat that was observed in wild-type animals. Our results suggest that fatty acid-induced Ca(2+) signaling, regulated by STIM1 via CD36, might be implicated in oro-gustatory perception of dietary lipids and the spontaneous preference for fat.

Orai1 calcium channels in the vasculature. Pflugers Arch 2012; 463:635-47.

Abstract
Orai1 was discovered in T cells as a calcium-selective channel that is activated by store depletion. Recent studies suggest that it is expressed and functionally important also in blood vessels, not only because haematopoietic cells can incorporate in the vascular wall but also because Orai1 is expressed and functional in vascular smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells. This article summarises the arising observations in this new area of vascular research and debates underlying issues and challenges for future investigations. The primary focus is on vascular smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells. Specific topics include Orai1 expression; Orai1 roles in store-operated calcium entry and ionic currents of store-depleted cells; blockade of Orai1-related signals by Synta 66 and other pharmacology; activation or regulation of Orai1-related signals by physiological substances and compartments; stromal interaction molecules and the relationship of Orai1 to other ion channels, transporters and pumps; transient receptor potential canonical channels and their contribution to store-operated calcium entry; roles of Orai1 in vascular tone, remodelling, thrombus formation and inflammation; and Orai2 and Orai3. Overall, the observations suggest the existence of an additional, previously unrecognised, calcium channel of the vascular wall that is functionally important particularly in remodelling but probably also in certain vasoconstrictor contexts.

Abstract
Objectives Calcium independent group VIA phospholipase A2 (iPLA2β) is up-regulated in vascular smooth muscle cells in some diseases, but whether the up-regulated iPLA2β affects vascular morphology and blood pressure is unknown. The current study addresses this question by evaluating the basal- and angiotensin II infusion-induced vascular remodeling and hypertension in smooth muscle specific iPLA2β transgenic (iPLA2β -Tg) mice. Method and Results Blood pressure was monitored by radiotelemetry and vascular remodeling was assessed by morphologic analysis. We found that the angiotensin II-induced increase in diastolic pressure was significantly higher in iPLA2β-Tg than iPLA2β-Wt mice, whereas, the basal blood pressure was not significantly different. The media thickness and media∶lumen ratio of the mesenteric arteries were significantly increased in angiotensin II-infused iPLA2β-Tg mice. Analysis revealed no difference in vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation. In contrast, adenovirus-mediated iPLA2β overexpression in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells promoted angiotensin II-induced [3H]-leucine incorporation, indicating enhanced hypertrophy. Moreover, angiotensin II infusion-induced c-Jun phosphorylation in vascular smooth muscle cells overexpressing iPLA2β to higher levels, which was abolished by inhibition of 12/15 lipoxygenase. In addition, we found that angiotensin II up-regulated the endogenous iPLA2β protein in-vitro and in-vivo. Conclusion The present study reports that iPLA2β up-regulation exacerbates angiotensin II-induced vascular smooth muscle cell hypertrophy, vascular remodeling and hypertension via the 12/15 lipoxygenase and c-Jun pathways.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels are the canonical (C) subset of the TRP proteins, which are widely expressed in mammalian cells. They are thought to be primarily involved in determining calcium and sodium entry and have wide-ranging functions that include regulation of cell proliferation, motility and contraction. The channels are modulated by a multiplicity of factors, putatively existing as integrators in the plasma membrane. This review considers the sensitivities of TRPC channels to lipids that include diacylglycerols, phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate, lysophospholipids, oxidized phospholipids, arachidonic acid and its metabolites, sphingosine-1-phosphate, cholesterol and some steroidal derivatives and other lipid factors such as gangliosides. Promiscuous and selective lipid sensing have been detected. There appear to be close working relationships with lipids of the phospholipase C and A2 enzyme systems, which may enable integration with receptor signalling and membrane stretch. There are differences in the properties of each TRPC channel that are further complicated by TRPC heteromultimerization. The lipids modulate activity of the channels or insertion in the plasma membrane. Lipid microenvironments and intermediate sensing proteins have been described that include caveolae, G protein signalling, SEC14-like and spectrin-type domains 1 (SESTD1) and podocin. The data suggest that lipid sensing is an important aspect of TRPC channel biology enabling integration with other signalling systems.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Human urotensin-II (UII) is considered the most potentendogenous vasoconstrictor discovered to date, although the precise mechanism activated downstream of its receptor UTS2R in blood vessels remains elusive. The aim of this study was to determine the role of the store operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) signaling pathway in UII-induced coronary artery vasoconstriction. METHODS AND RESULTS We used a combination of isometric tension measurement, Ca(2+) imaging, pharmacology, and molecular approaches to study UII-mediated rat coronary artery vasoconstriction and intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization in coronary smooth muscle cells. We found that UII promoted dose-dependent vasoconstriction and elicited Ca(2+) and Mn(2+) influx, which were sensitive to classical SOCE inhibitors. In addition, knockdown of either STIM1 or Orai1 essentially inhibited UII-mediated SOCE and prevented UII but not high-KCL evoked contraction in transfected coronary artery. Moreover, we found that Ca(2+)-independent phospholipase A(2)β was involved in UII effects and that is colocalized with STIM1 in different submembrane compartments. Importantly, STIM1 but not Orai1 downregulation inhibits significantly independent phospholipase A(2) activation. Furthermore, lysophosphatidylcholine, an independent phospholipase A(2) product, activated Orai1 but not STIM1-dependent contraction and SOCE. CONCLUSIONS Here, we demonstrated that different critical players of SOCE signaling pathway are required for UII-induced vasoconstriction of rat coronary artery.

Abstract
Vascular smooth muscle tone is controlled by a balance between the cellular signaling pathways that mediate the generation of force (vasoconstriction) and release of force (vasodilation). The initiation of force is associated with increases in intracellular calcium concentrations, activation of myosin light-chain kinase, increases in the phosphorylation of the regulatory myosin light chains, and actin-myosin crossbridge cycling. There are, however, several signaling pathways modulating Ca(2+) mobilization and Ca(2+) sensitivity of the contractile machinery that secondarily regulate the contractile response of vascular smooth muscle to receptor agonists. Among these regulatory mechanisms involved in the physiological regulation of vascular tone are the cyclic nucleotides (cAMP and cGMP), which are considered the main messengers that mediate vasodilation under physiological conditions. At least four distinct mechanisms are currently thought to be involved in the vasodilator effect of cyclic nucleotides and their dependent protein kinases: (1) the decrease in cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)]c), (2) the hyperpolarization of the smooth muscle cell membrane potential, (3) the reduction in the sensitivity of the contractile machinery by decreasing the [Ca(2+)]c sensitivity of myosin light-chain phosphorylation, and (4) the reduction in the sensitivity of the contractile machinery by uncoupling contraction from myosin light-chain phosphorylation. This review focuses on each of these mechanisms involved in cyclic nucleotide-dependent relaxation of vascular smooth muscle under physiological conditions.

Abstract
It has been known for more than 60 years, and suspected for over 100, that alveolar hypoxia causes pulmonary vasoconstriction by means of mechanisms local to the lung. For the last 20 years, it has been clear that the essential sensor, transduction, and effector mechanisms responsible for hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) reside in the pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cell. The main focus of this review is the cellular and molecular work performed to clarify these intrinsic mechanisms and to determine how they are facilitated and inhibited by the extrinsic influences of other cells. Because the interaction of intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms is likely to shape expression of HPV in vivo, we relate results obtained in cells to HPV in more intact preparations, such as intact and isolated lungs and isolated pulmonary vessels. Finally, we evaluate evidence regarding the contribution of HPV to the physiological and pathophysiological processes involved in the transition from fetal to neonatal life, pulmonary gas exchange, high-altitude pulmonary edema, and pulmonary hypertension. Although understanding of HPV has advanced significantly, major areas of ignorance and uncertainty await resolution.

Abstract
Hypertension is a major cause of morbidity. The neuropeptide catestatin [human chromogranin A-(352-372)] is a peptide product of the vesicular protein chromogranin A. Studies in the periphery and in vitro studies show that catestatin blocks nicotine-stimulated catecholamine release and interacts with β-adrenoceptors and histamine receptors. Catestatin immunoreactivity is present in the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM), a key site for blood pressure control in the brain stem. Recently, we reported that microinjection of catestatin into the RVLM is sympathoexcitatory and increases barosensitivity. Here, we report the effects of microinjection of catestatin (1 mM, 50 nl) into the caudal ventrolateral medulla (CVLM) in urethane-anesthetized, bilaterally vagotomized, artificially ventilated Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 8). We recorded resting arterial pressure, splanchnic sympathetic nerve activity, phrenic nerve activity, heart rate, and measured cardiovascular homeostatic reflexes. Homeostatic reflexes were evaluated by measuring cardiovascular responses to carotid baroreceptor and peripheral chemoreceptor activation. Catestatin decreased basal levels of arterial pressure (-23 ± 4 mmHg), sympathetic nerve activity (-26.6 ± 5.7%), heart rate (-19 ± 5 bpm), and phrenic nerve amplitude (-16.8 ± 3.3%). Catestatin caused a 15% decrease in phrenic inspiratory period (T(i)) and a 16% increase in phrenic expiratory period (T(e)) but had no net effect on the phrenic interburst interval (T(tot)). Catestatin decreased sympathetic barosensitivity by 63.6% and attenuated the peripheral chemoreflex (sympathetic nerve response to brief hypoxia; range decreased 39.9%; slope decreased 30.1%). The results suggest that catestatin plays an important role in central cardiorespiratory control.

Abstract
Store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) is important for multiple functions of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC), which, depending of their phenotype, can resemble excitable and nonexcitable cells. Similar to nonexcitable cells, Orai1 was found to mediate Ca(2+)-selective (CRAC-like) current and SOCE in dedifferentiated cultured SMC and smooth muscle-derived cell lines. However, the role of Orai1 in cation-selective store-operated channels (cat-SOC), which are responsible for SOCE in primary SMC, remains unclear. Here we focus on primary SMC, and assess the role of Orai1 and Ca(2+)-independent phospholipase A(2) (iPLA(2)β, or PLA2G6) in activation of cat-SOC current (I(cat-SOC)), SOCE, and SMC proliferation. Using molecular, electrophysiological, imaging, and functional approaches, we demonstrate that molecular knockdown of either Orai1 or iPLA(2)β leads to similar inhibition of the whole cell cat-SOC current and SOCE in primary aortic SMC and results in significant reduction in DNA synthesis and impairment of SMC proliferation. This is the first demonstration that Orai1 and iPLA(2)β are equally important for cat-SOC, SOCE, and proliferation of primary aortic SMC.

Abstract
Muscle atrophy alone is insufficient to explain the significant decline in contractile force of skeletal muscle during normal aging. One contributing factor to decreased contractile force in aging skeletal muscle could be compromised excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling, without sufficient available Ca2+ to allow for repetitive muscle contractility, skeletal muscles naturally become weaker. Using biophysical approaches, we previously showed that store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) is compromised in aged skeletal muscle but not in young ones. While important, a missing component from previous studies is whether or not SOCE function correlates with contractile function during aging. Here we test the contribution of extracellular Ca2+ to contractile function of skeletal muscle during aging. First, we demonstrate graded coupling between SR Ca2+ release channel-mediated Ca2+ release and activation of SOCE. Inhibition of SOCE produced significant reduction of contractile force in young skeletal muscle, particularly at high frequency stimulation, and such effects were completely absent in aged skeletal muscle. Our data indicate that SOCE contributes to the normal physiological contractile response of young healthy skeletal muscle and that defective extracellular Ca2+ entry through SOCE contributes to the reduced contractile force characteristic of aged skeletal muscle.

Abstract
SOCE (store-operated calcium entry) is a ubiquitous cellular mechanism linking the calcium depletion of the ER (endoplasmic reticulum) to the activation of PM (plasma membrane) Ca2+-permeable channels. The activation of SOCE channels favours the entry of extracellular Ca2+ into the cytosol, thereby promoting the refilling of the depleted ER Ca2+ stores as well as the generation of long-lasting calcium signals. The molecules that govern SOCE activation comprise ER Ca2+ sensors [STIM1 (stromal interaction molecule 1) and STIM2], PM Ca2+-permeable channels {Orai and TRPC [TRP (transient receptor potential) canonical]} and regulatory Ca2+-sensitive cytosolic proteins {CRACR2 [CRAC (Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ current) regulator 2]}. Upon Ca2+ depletion of the ER, STIM molecules move towards the PM to bind and activate Orai or TRPC channels, initiating calcium entry and store refilling. This molecular rearrangement is accompanied by the formation of specialized compartments derived from the ER, the pre-cER (cortical ER) and cER. The pre-cER appears on the electron microscope as thin ER tubules enriched in STIM1 that extend along microtubules and that are devoid of contacts with the PM. The cER is located in immediate proximity to the PM and comprises thinner sections enriched in STIM1 and devoid of chaperones that might be dedicated to calcium signalling. Here, we review the molecular interactions and the morphological changes in ER structure that occur during the SOCE process.

Abstract
Mast cells release a variety of mediators, including arachidonic acid (AA) metabolites, to regulate allergy, inflammation, and host defense, and their differentiation and maturation within extravascular microenvironments depend on the stromal cytokine stem cell factor. Mouse mast cells express two major intracellular phospholipases A(2) (PLA(2)s), namely group IVA cytosolic PLA(2) (cPLA(2)α) and group VIA Ca(2+)-independent PLA(2) (iPLA(2)β), and the role of cPLA(2)α in eicosanoid synthesis by mast cells has been well documented. Lipidomic analyses of mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs) lacking cPLA(2)α (Pla2g4a(-/-)) or iPLA(2)β (Pla2g6(-/-)) revealed that phospholipids with AA were selectively hydrolyzed by cPLA(2)α, not by iPLA(2)β, during FcεRI-mediated activation and even during fibroblast-dependent maturation. Neither FcεRI-dependent effector functions nor maturation-driven phospholipid remodeling was impaired in Pla2g6(-/-) BMMCs. Although BMMCs did not produce prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)), the AA released by cPLA(2)α from BMMCs during maturation was converted to PGE(2) by microsomal PGE synthase-1 (mPGES-1) in cocultured fibroblasts, and accordingly, Pla2g4a(-/-) BMMCs promoted microenvironmental PGE(2) synthesis less efficiently than wild-type BMMCs both in vitro and in vivo. Mice deficient in mPGES-1 (Ptges(-/-)) had an augmented local anaphylactic response. These results suggest that cPLA(2)α in mast cells is functionally coupled, through the AA transfer mechanism, with stromal mPGES-1 to provide anti-anaphylactic PGE(2). Although iPLA(2)β is partially responsible for PGE(2) production by macrophages and dendritic cells, it is dispensable for mast cell maturation and function.

Abstract
Circulating hormones stimulate the phospholipase Cβ (PLC)/Ca(2+) influx pathway to regulate numerous cell functions, including vascular tone. It was proposed previously that Ca(2+)-independent phospholipase A(2) (iPLA(2))-dependent store-operated Ca(2+) influx channels mediate hormone-induced contractions in isolated arteries, because bromoenol lactone (BEL), a potent irreversible inhibitor of iPLA(2), inhibited such contractions. However, the effects of BEL on other channels implicated in mediating hormone-induced vessel contractions, specifically voltage-gated Ca(2+) (Ca(V)1.2) and transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels, have not been defined clearly. Using isometric tension measurements, we found that thapsigargin-induced contractions were ∼34% of those evoked by phenylephrine or KCl. BEL completely inhibited not only thapsigargin- but also phenylephrine- and KCl-induced ring contractions, suggesting that Ca(V)1.2 and receptor-operated TRPC channels also may be sensitive to BEL. Therefore, we investigated the effects of BEL on heterologously expressed Ca(V)1.2 and TRPC channels in human embryonic kidney cells, a model system that allows probing of individual protein function without interference from other signaling elements of native cells. We found that low micromolar concentrations of BEL inhibited Ca(V)1.2, TRPC5, TRPC6, and heteromeric TRPC1-TRPC5 channels in an iPLA(2)-independent manner. BEL also attenuated PLC activity, suggesting that the compound may inhibit TRPC channel activity in part by interfering with an initial PLC-dependent step required for TRPC channel activation. Conversely, BEL did not affect endogenous voltage-gated K(+) channels in human embryonic kidney cells. Our findings support the hypothesis that iPLA(2)-dependent store-operated Ca(2+) influx channels and iPLA(2)-independent hormone-operated TRPC channels can serve as smooth muscle depolarization triggers to activate Ca(V)1.2 channels and to regulate vascular tone.

[PMID: 21742378 PMCID: PMC3195672 DOI: 10.1016/j.ceca.2011.06.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2011] [Revised: 06/08/2011] [Accepted: 06/09/2011] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
The Transient Receptor Potential Canonical 5 (TRPC5) protein forms calcium-permeable cationic channels that are stimulated by G protein-coupled receptor agonists. The signaling pathways of such agonist effects are poorly understood. Here we investigated the potential for involvement of lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) and arachidonic acid generated by group 6 (GVI) phospholipase A2 (PLA2) enzymes, focusing on stimulation of TRPC5 by sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) which acts via a pertussis toxin-sensitive (Gi/o protein) pathway without Ca2+-release. Experiments were on HEK 293 cells containing conditional expression of human TRPC5. Channel activity was recorded using an intracellular calcium indicator or whole-cell patch-clamp and PLA2 activity was detected using 3H-arachidonic acid. S1P stimulated PLA2 and TRPC5 activities. Both effects were suppressed by the GVI PLA2 inhibitor bromoenol lactone. Knock-down of GVI PLA2 by RNA interference suppressed channel activity evoked by S1P whereas activity evoked by the direct channel stimulator LPC was unaffected. Arachidonic acid did not stimulate the channels. Prior exposure of channels to LPC but not arachidonic acid suppressed channel activity evoked by S1P but not gadolinium, a putative direct stimulator of the channels. The data suggest roles of LPC and GVI PLA2 in S1P-evoked TRPC5 activity.

Abstract
Cold/menthol-activated TRPM8 (transient receptor potential channel melastatin member 8) is primarily expressed in sensory neurons, where it constitutes the principal receptor of environmental innocuous cold. TRPM8 has been shown to be regulated by multiple influences such as phosphorylation, pH, Ca(2+), and lipid messengers. One such messenger is arachidonic acid (AA), which has been shown to inhibit TRPM8 channel activity. However, the physiological pathways mediating the inhibitory effect of AA on TRPM8 still remain unknown. Here, we demonstrate that TRPM8 is regulated via M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor-coupled signaling cascade based on the activation of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) and cPLA2-catalyzed derivation of AA. Stimulation of M3 receptors heterologously co-expressed with TRPM8 in HEK-293 cells by nonselective muscarinic agonist, oxotremorine methiodide (Oxo-M), caused inhibition of TRPM8-mediated membrane current, which could be mimicked by AA and antagonized by pharmacological or siRNA-mediated cPLA2 silencing. Our results demonstrate the intracellular functional link between M3 receptor and TRPM8 channel via cPLA2/AA and suggest a novel physiological mechanism of arachidonate-mediated regulation of TRPM8 channel activity through muscarinic receptors. We also summarize the existing TRPM8 regulations and discuss their physiological and pathological significance.

Abstract
Background This study investigates whether protein kinase G (PKG), protein kinase A (PKA) and protein kinase C (PKC) are involved in the regulatory mechanisms of store-operated channel (SOC) in pulmonary arteries. Methods Pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) were enzymatically dissociated from rat intralobar pulmonary arteries. Whole cell, cell-attached and inside-out patch-clamp electrophysiology were used to monitor SOCs in isolated PASMCs. Results Initially the Ca2+-ATPase inhibitor cyclopiazonic acid (CPA, 10 μM) initiated a whole cell current that was reduced by the SOC blocker SKF-96365 (10 μM). Subsequent work using both cell-attached and whole cell configurations revealed that the PKG and PKA inhibitors, KT5823 (3 μM) and H-89 (10 μM), also stimulated SOC activity; this augmentation was attenuated by the SOC blockers SKF-96365 (10 μM) and Ni2+ (0.1 mM). Finally using the inside-out configuration, the PKC activator phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA, 10 μM) was confirmed to modestly stimulate SOC activity although this augmentation appeared to be more substantial following the application of 10 μM inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3). Conclusions SOC activity in PASMCs was stimulated by the inhibition of PKG and PKA and the activation of PKC. Our findings suggest that the SOC could be a substrate of these protein kinases, which therefore would regulate the intracellular concentration of calcium and pulmonary arteriopathy via SOC.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential (TRP) proteins are involved in a large number of non-selective cation channels that are permeable to both monovalent and divalent cations. Two general classes of receptor-mediated Ca(2+) entry has been proposed: one of then is conduced by receptor-operated Ca(2+) channels (ROC), the second is mediated by channels activated by the emptying of intracellular Ca(2+) stores (store-operated channels or SOC). TRP channels have been presented as subunits of both ROC and SOC, although the precise mechanism that regulates the participation of TRP proteins in these Ca(2+) entry mechanisms remains unclear. Recently, TRPC proteins have been shown to associate with Orai1 and STIM1 in a dynamic ternary complex regulated by the occupation of membrane receptors in several cell models, which might play an important role in the function of TRPC proteins. The present review summarizes the current knowledge concerning the association of TRP proteins with Orai and STIM proteins and how this affects the participation of TRP proteins in store-operated or receptor-operated Ca(2+) entry.

Abstract
Recent studies show that mammalian melastatin TRPM nonselective cation channels (TRPM1-8), members of the largest and most diverse TRP subfamily, are widely expressed in the endothelium and vascular smooth muscles. When activated, these channels similarly to other TRPs permit the entry of sodium, calcium and magnesium, thus causing membrane depolarisation. Although membrane depolarisation reduces the driving force for calcium entry via TRPMs as well as other pathways for calcium entry, in smooth muscle myocytes expressing voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels the predominant functional effect is an increase in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration and myocyte contraction. This review focuses on several best documented aspects of vascular functions of TRPMs, including the role of TRPM2 in oxidant stress, regulation of endothelial permeability and cell death, the connection between TRPM4 and myogenic response, significance of TRPM7 for magnesium homeostasis, vessel injury and hypertension, and emerging evidence that the cold and menthol receptor TRPM8 is involved in the regulation of vascular tone.

Abstract
Mammalian genomes encode genes for more than 30 phospholipase A₂s (PLA₂s) or related enzymes, which are subdivided into several classes including low-molecular-weight secreted PLA₂s (sPLA₂s), Ca²+-dependent cytosolic PLA₂s (cPLA₂s), Ca²+-independent PLA₂s (iPLA₂s), platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolases (PAF-AHs), lysosomal PLA₂s, and a recently identified adipose-specific PLA. Of these, the intracellular cPLA₂ and iPLA₂ families and the extracellular sPLA₂ family are recognized as the "big three". From a general viewpoint, cPLA₂α (the prototypic cPLA₂ plays a major role in the initiation of arachidonic acid metabolism, the iPLA₂ family contributes to membrane homeostasis and energy metabolism, and the sPLA₂ family affects various biological events by modulating the extracellular phospholipid milieus. The cPLA₂ family evolved along with eicosanoid receptors when vertebrates first appeared, whereas the diverse branching of the iPLA₂ and sPLA₂ families during earlier eukaryote development suggests that they play fundamental roles in life-related processes. During the past decade, data concerning the unexplored roles of various PLA₂ enzymes in pathophysiology have emerged on the basis of studies using knockout and transgenic mice, the use of specific inhibitors, and information obtained from analysis of human diseases caused by mutations in PLA₂ genes. This review focuses on current understanding of the emerging biological functions of PLA₂s and related enzymes.

Abstract
Astrocytes constitute a major group of glial cells which were long regarded as passive elements, fulfilling nutritive and structural functions for neurons. Calcium rise in astrocytes propagating to neurons was the first demonstration of direct interaction between the two cell types. Since then, calcium has been widely used, not only as an indicator of astrocytic activity but also as a stimulator switch to control astrocyte physiology. As a result, astrocytes have been elevated from auxiliaries to neurons, to cells involved in processing synaptic information. Curiously, while there is evidence that astrocytes play an important role in synaptic plasticity, the data relating to calcium's pivotal role are inconsistent. In this review, we will detail the various mechanisms of calcium flux in astrocytes, then briefly present the calcium-dependent mechanisms of gliotransmitter release. Finally, we will discuss the role of calcium in plasticity and present alternative explanations that could reconcile the conflicting results published recently.

Abstract
Suppression of smooth muscle cell (SMC) differentiation marker genes is central to SMC phenotype modulation during vasculo-proliferative diseases such as atherosclerosis and restenosis. Upregulation of the intermediate-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channel (K(Ca)3.1) is integral for mitogen-induced suppression of SMC marker genes and post-angioplasty restenosis. Modulation of SMC marker gene expression has been observed following Ca(2+) influx from multiple sources, however, it is unknown whether upregulation of K(Ca)3.1 and/or suppression of SMC differentiation genes is dependent on a Ca(2+) mediated mechanism. The purpose of this study was to determine the dependence of mitogen-induced SMC phenotype modulation on store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE). In growth-arrested, differentiated rat aortic SMCs, platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) augmented SOCE. However, PDGF-BB induced upregulation of K(Ca)3.1 and downregulation of the SMC marker gene smooth muscle myosin heavy chain (SMMHC) and myocardin was not dependent on SOCE. Co-treatment with the iPLA2 inhibitor bromoenol lactone (BEL) inhibited the effects of PDGF-BB on SMC phenotype modulation and SOCE. Our results indicate SOCE is not required for PDGF-BB induced phenotype modulation in rat aortic SMCs. Rather, we implicate a novel BEL-sensitive mechanism which regulates both SOCE and phenotype modulation, independently.

Abstract
The fundamental role and corollary effects of neuropeptides that govern cardiorespiratory control in the brain stem are poorly understood. One such regulatory peptide, catestatin [Cts, human chromogranin A-(352-372)], noncompetitively inhibits nicotinic-cholinergic-stimulated catecholamine release. Previously, we demonstrated the presence of chromogranin A mRNA in brain stem neurons that are important for the maintenance of arterial pressure. In the present study, using immunofluorescence histochemistry, we show that Cts immunoreactivity is colocalized with tyrosine hydroxylase in C1 neurons of the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM, n = 3). Furthermore, we investigated the effects of Cts on resting blood pressure, splanchnic sympathetic nerve activity, phrenic nerve activity, heart rate, and adaptive reflexes. Cts (1 mM in 50 nl or 100 μM in 50-100 nl) was microinjected into the RVLM in urethane-anesthetized, vagotomized, ventilated Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 19). Cardiovascular responses to stimulation of carotid baroreceptors, peripheral chemoreceptors, and the sciatic nerve (somatosympathetic reflex) were analyzed. Cts (1 mM in 50 nl) increased resting arterial pressure (28 ± 3 mmHg at 2 min postinjection), sympathetic nerve activity (15 ± 3% at 2 min postinjection), and phrenic discharge amplitude (31 ± 4% at 10 min postinjection). Cts increased sympathetic barosensitivity 40% (slope increased from -0.05 ± 0.01 before Cts to -0.07 ± 0.01 after Cts) and attenuated the somatosympathetic reflex [1st peak: 36% (from 132 ± 32.1 to 84.0 ± 17.0 μV); 2nd peak: 44% (from 65.1 ± 21.4 to 36.6 ± 14.1 μV)] and chemoreflex (blood pressure response to anoxia decreased 55%, sympathetic response decreased 46%). The results suggest that Cts activates sympathoexcitatory bulbospinal neurons in the RVLM and plays an important regulatory role in adaptive reflexes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The glycerol-based lysophospholipid lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI) is an endogenous agonist of the G-protein-coupled receptor 55 (GPR55) exhibiting cannabinoid receptor-like properties in endothelial cells. To estimate the contribution of GPR55 to the physiological effects of LPI, the GPR55-dependent and -independent electrical responses in this cell type were investigated. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Applying small interference RNA-mediated knock-down and transient overexpression, GPR55-dependent and -independent effects of LPI on cytosolic free Ca(2+) concentration, membrane potential and transmembrane ion currents were studied in EA.hy296 cells. KEY RESULTS In a GPR55-dependent, GDPbetaS and U73122-sensitive manner, LPI induced rapid and transient intracellular Ca(2+) release that was associated with activation of charybdotoxin-sensitive, large conductance, Ca(2+)-activated, K(+) channels (BK(Ca)) and temporary membrane hyperpolarization. Following these initial electrical reactions, LPI elicited GPR55-independent long-lasting Na(+) loading and a non-selective inward current causing sustained membrane depolarization that depended on extracellular Ca(2+) and Na(+) and was partially inhibited by Ni(2+) and La(3+). This inward current was due to the activation of a voltage-independent non-selective cation current. The Ni(2+) and La(3+)-insensitive depolarization with LPI was prevented by inhibition of the Na/K-ATPase by ouabain. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS LPI elicited a biphasic response in endothelial cells of which the immediate Ca(2+) signalling depends on GPR55 while the subsequent depolarization is due to Na(+) loading via non-selective cation channels and an inhibition of the Na/K-ATPase. Thus, LPI is a potent signalling molecule that affects endothelial functions by modulating several cellular electrical responses that are only partially linked to GPR55.

Abstract
Endothelial cells release various substances to control the tone of the underlying vascular smooth muscle. Nitric oxide (NO) is the best defined endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF). Endothelial cells can also increase vascular tone by releasing endothelium-derived contracting factors (EDCF). The over-production of EDCF contributes to the endothelial dysfunctions which accompanies various vascular diseases. The present review summarizes and discusses the mechanisms leading to the release of EDCFs derived from the metabolism of arachidonic acid. This release can be triggered by agonists such as acetylcholine, adenosine nucleotides or by stretch. All these stimuli are able to induce calcium influx into the endothelial cells, an effect which can be mimicked by calcium ionophores. The augmentation in intracellular calcium ion concentration initiates the release of EDCF. Downstream processes include activation of phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)), cyclooxygenases (COX) and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and vasoconstrictor prostanoids (endoperoxides, prostacyclin, thromboxane A(2) and other prostaglandins) which subsequently diffuse to, and activate thromboxane-prostanoid (TP) receptors on the vascular smooth muscle cells leading to contraction.

Abstract
Group VIB Ca(2+)-independent phospholipase A(2)γ (iPLA(2)γ) is a membrane-bound iPLA(2) enzyme with unique features, such as the utilization of distinct translation initiation sites and the presence of mitochondrial and peroxisomal localization signals. Here we investigated the physiological functions of iPLA(2)γ by disrupting its gene in mice. iPLA(2)γ-knockout (KO) mice were born with an expected Mendelian ratio and appeared normal and healthy at the age of one month but began to show growth retardation from the age of two months as well as kyphosis and significant muscle weakness at the age of four months. Electron microscopy revealed swelling and reduced numbers of mitochondria and atrophy of myofilaments in iPLA(2)γ-KO skeletal muscles. Increased lipid peroxidation and the induction of several oxidative stress-related genes were also found in the iPLA(2)γ-KO muscles. These results provide evidence that impairment of iPLA(2)γ causes mitochondrial dysfunction and increased oxidative stress, leading to the loss of skeletal muscle structure and function. We further found that the compositions of cardiolipin and other phospholipid subclasses were altered and that the levels of myoprotective prostanoids were reduced in iPLA(2)γ-KO skeletal muscle. Thus, in addition to maintenance of homeostasis of the mitochondrial membrane, iPLA(2)γ may contribute to modulation of lipid mediator production in vivo.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE RhoA kinase (ROCK) participates in K(+) depolarization (KCl)-induced Ca(2+) sensitization of contraction. Whether constitutive, depolarization- or Ca(2+)-activated ROCK plays the major role in this signalling system remains to be determined. Here, we determined whether Bay K 8644, a dihydropyridine that promotes Ca(2+) channel clusters to operate in a persistent Ca(2+) influx mode, could cause ROCK-dependent Ca(2+) sensitization. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Renal and femoral artery rings from New Zealand white rabbits were contracted with Bay K 8644. Tissues were frozen and processed to measure active RhoA and ROCK substrate (myosin phosphatase targeting subunit, MYPT1) and myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation, or loaded with fura-2 to measure intracellular free Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)). Effects of selective inhibitors of contraction were assessed in resting (basal) tissues and those contracted with Bay K 8644. KEY RESULTS Bay K 8644 produced strong increases in [Ca(2+)](i), MLC phosphorylation and tension, but not in MYPT1 phosphorylation. ROCK inhibition by H-1152 abolished basal MYPT1-pT853, diminished basal MLC phosphorylation and inhibited Bay K 8644-induced increases in MLC phosphorylation and tension. MLC kinase inhibition by wortmannin abolished Bay K 8644-induced contraction and increase in MLC phosphorylation but did not inhibit basal MYPT1-pT853. H-1152 and wortmannin had no effect on MYPT1-pT696, but 1 microM staurosporine inhibited basal MYPT1-pT853, MYPT1-pT696 and MLC phosphorylation. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS These data suggest that the constitutive activities of ROCK and a staurosporine-sensitive kinase regulate basal phosphorylation of MYPT1, which participates along with activation of MLC kinase in determining the strength of contraction induced by the Ca(2+) agonist, Bay K 8644.

Abstract
Mammalian transient receptor potential melastatin (TRPM) non-selective cation channels, the largest TRP subfamily, are widely expressed in excitable and non-excitable cells where they perform diverse functions ranging from detection of cold, taste, osmolarity, redox state and pH to control of Mg(2+) homeostasis and cell proliferation or death. Recently, TRPM gene expression has been identified in vascular smooth muscles with dominance of the TRPM8 channel. There has been in parallel considerable progress in decoding the functional roles of several TRPMs in the vasculature. This research on native cells is aided by the knowledge of the activation mechanisms and pharmacological properties of heterologously expressed TRPM subtypes. This paper summarizes the present state of knowledge of vascular TRPM channels and outlines several anticipated directions of future research in this area.

Abstract
The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of smooth muscles presents many intriguing facets and questions concerning its roles, especially as these change with development, disease, and modulation of physiological activity. The SR's function was originally perceived to be synthetic and then that of a Ca store for the contractile proteins, acting as a Ca amplification mechanism as it does in striated muscles. Gradually, as investigators have struggled to find a convincing role for Ca-induced Ca release in many smooth muscles, a role in controlling excitability has emerged. This is the Ca spark/spontaneous transient outward current coupling mechanism which reduces excitability and limits contraction. Release of SR Ca occurs in response to inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, Ca, and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate, and depletion of SR Ca can initiate Ca entry, the mechanism of which is being investigated but seems to involve Stim and Orai as found in nonexcitable cells. The contribution of the elemental Ca signals from the SR, sparks and puffs, to global Ca signals, i.e., Ca waves and oscillations, is becoming clearer but is far from established. The dynamics of SR Ca release and uptake mechanisms are reviewed along with the control of luminal Ca. We review the growing list of the SR's functions that still includes Ca storage, contraction, and relaxation but has been expanded to encompass Ca homeostasis, generating local and global Ca signals, and contributing to cellular microdomains and signaling in other organelles, including mitochondria, lysosomes, and the nucleus. For an integrated approach, a review of aspects of the SR in health and disease and during development and aging are also included. While the sheer versatility of smooth muscle makes it foolish to have a "one model fits all" approach to this subject, we have tried to synthesize conclusions wherever possible.

Abstract
Phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)), a regulatory enzyme found in most mammalian cells, catalyzes the breakdown of membrane phospholipids to arachidonic acid. There are two major cytosolic types of the enzyme, calcium-dependent (cPLA(2)) and calcium-independent (iPLA(2)) PLA(2). The present study investigated whether or not iPLA(2) plays a role in the endothelium-dependent contractions of the aorta of the spontaneously hypertensive rat and its normotensive counterpart, the Wistar-Kyoto rat. The presence of iPLA(2) in the endothelial cells was identified by using immunochemistry and immunoblotting. Aortic rings with and without the endothelium were suspended in organ chambers for isometric tension recording. The production of prostanoids was measured by using enzyme immunoassay kits. iPLA(2) was densely distributed in endothelial cells of the aorta of both strains. At 3 x 10(-6) M, the selective iPLA(2) inhibitor, bromoenol lactone (BEL), abrogated endothelium-dependent contractions induced by acetylcholine but not those evoked by the calcium ionophore A-23187. The effects of BEL were similar in the aortae of Wistar-Kyoto and spontaneously hypertensive rats. The nonselective PLA(2) inhibitor quinacrine abolished the contractions triggered by both acetylcholine and A-23187, whereas the store-operated calcium channel inhibitor SKF-96365 prevented only the acetylcholine-induced contraction. The acetylcholine- but not the A-23187-induced release of 6-keto prostaglandin F(1alpha) was inhibited by BEL. The release of thromboxane B(2) by either acetylcholine or A-23187 was not affected by BEL. In conclusion, iPLA(2) plays a substantial role in the generation of endothelium-derived contracting factor evoked by acetylcholine.

Abstract
Muscle wasting in various catabolic conditions is at least in part regulated by glucocorticoids. Increased calcium levels have been reported in atrophying muscle. Mechanisms regulating calcium homeostasis in muscle wasting, in particular the role of glucocorticoids, are poorly understood. Here we tested the hypothesis that glucocorticoids increase intracellular calcium concentrations in skeletal muscle and stimulate store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) and that these effects of glucocorticoids may at least in part be responsible for glucocorticoid-induced protein degradation. Treatment of cultured myotubes with dexamethasone, a frequently used in vitro model of muscle wasting, resulted in increased intracellular calcium concentrations determined by fura-2 AM fluorescence measurements. When SOCE was measured by using calcium "add-back" to muscle cells after depletion of intracellular calcium stores, results showed that SOCE was increased 15-25% by dexamethasone and that this response to dexamethasone was inhibited by the store-operated calcium channel blocker BTP2. Dexamethasone treatment stimulated the activity of calcium-independent phospholipase A(2) (iPLA(2)), and dexamethasone-induced increase in SOCE was reduced by the iPLA(2) inhibitor bromoenol lactone (BEL). In additional experiments, treatment of myotubes with the store-operated calcium channel inhibitor gadolinium ion or BEL reduced dexamethasone-induced increase in protein degradation. Taken together, the results suggest that glucocorticoids increase calcium concentrations in myocytes and stimulate iPLA(2)-dependent SOCE and that glucocorticoid-induced muscle protein degradation may at least in part be regulated by increased iPLA(2) activity, SOCE, and cellular calcium levels.

Abstract
Previous studies suggest that high glucose-induced RhoA/Rho kinase/CPI-17 activation is involved in diabetes-associated vascular smooth muscle hypercontractility. However, the upstream signaling that links high glucose and RhoA/Rho kinase/CPI-17 activation is unknown. Here we report that calcium-independent phospholipase A(2)beta (iPLA(2)beta) is required for high glucose-induced RhoA/Rho kinase/CPI-17 activation and thereby contributes to diabetes-associated vascular smooth muscle hypercontractility. We demonstrate that high glucose increases iPLA(2)beta mRNA, protein, and iPLA(2) activity in a time-dependent manner. Protein kinase C is involved in high glucose-induced iPLA(2)beta protein up-regulation. Inhibiting iPLA(2)beta activity with bromoenol lactone or preventing its expression by genetic deletion abolishes high glucose-induced RhoA/Rho kinase/CPI-17 activation, and restoring expression of iPLA(2)beta in iPLA(2)beta-deficient cells also restores high glucose-induced CPI-17 phosphorylation. Pharmacological and genetic inhibition of 12/15-lipoxygenases has effects on high glucose-induced CPI-17 phosphorylation similar to iPLA(2)beta inhibition. Moreover, increases in iPLA(2) activity and iPLA(2)beta protein expression are also observed in both type 1 and type 2 diabetic vasculature. Pharmacological and genetic inhibition of iPLA(2)beta, but not iPLA(2)gamma, diminishes diabetes-associated vascular smooth muscle hypercontractility. In summary, our results reveal a novel mechanism by which high glucose-induced, protein kinase C-mediated iPLA(2)beta up-regulation activates the RhoA/Rho kinase/CPI-17 via 12/15-lipoxygenases and thereby contributes to diabetes-associated vascular smooth muscle hypercontractility.

Abstract
Activation of phospholipases A(2) (PLA(2)s) leads to the generation of biologically active lipid mediators that can affect numerous cellular events. The Group VIA Ca(2+)-independent PLA(2), designated iPLA(2)beta, is active in the absence of Ca(2+), activated by ATP, and inhibited by the bromoenol lactone suicide inhibitor (BEL). Over the past 10-15 years, studies using BEL have demonstrated that iPLA(2)beta participates in various biological processes and the recent availability of mice in which iPLA(2)beta expression levels have been genetically-modified are extending these findings. Work in our laboratory suggests that iPLA(2)beta activates a unique signaling cascade that promotes beta-cell apoptosis. This pathway involves iPLA(2)beta dependent induction of neutral sphingomyelinase, production of ceramide, and activation of the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis. There is a growing body of literature supporting beta-cell apoptosis as a major contributor to the loss of beta-cell mass associated with the onset and progression of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes mellitus. This underscores a need to gain a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying beta-cell apoptosis so that improved treatments can be developed to prevent or delay the onset and progression of diabetes mellitus. Herein, we offer a general review of Group VIA Ca(2+)-independent PLA(2) (iPLA(2)beta) followed by a more focused discussion of its participation in beta-cell apoptosis. We suggest that iPLA(2)beta-derived products trigger pathways which can lead to beta-cell apoptosis during the development of diabetes.

Abstract
Neutrophils from people with poorly controlled diabetes present a primed phenotype and secrete excessive superoxide. Phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2))-derived arachidonic acid (AA) activates the assembly of NADPH oxidase to generate superoxide anion. There is a gap in the current literature regarding which PLA(2) isoform regulates NADPH oxidase activation. The aim of this study was to identify the PLA(2) isoform involved in the regulation of superoxide generation in neutrophils and investigate if PLA(2) mediates priming in response to pathologic hyperglycemia. Neutrophils were isolated from people with diabetes mellitus and healthy controls, and HL60 neutrophil-like cells were grown in hyperglycemic conditions. Incubating neutrophils with the Ca(2+)-independent PLA(2) (iPLA(2)) inhibitor bromoenol lactone (BEL) completely suppressed fMLP-induced generation of superoxide. The nonspecific actions of BEL on phosphatidic acid phosphohydrolase-1, p47(phox) phosphorylation, and apoptosis were ruled out by specific assays. Small interfering RNA knockdown of iPLA(2) inhibited superoxide generation by neutrophils. Neutrophils from people with poorly controlled diabetes and in vitro incubation of neutrophils with high glucose and the receptor for advanced glycation end products ligand S100B greatly enhanced superoxide generation compared with controls, and this was significantly inhibited by BEL. A modified iPLA(2) assay, Western blotting, and PCR confirmed that there was increased iPLA(2) activity and expression in neutrophils from people with diabetes. AA (10 microM) partly rescued the inhibition of superoxide generation mediated by BEL, confirming that NADPH oxidase activity is, in part, regulated by AA. This study provides evidence for the role of iPLA(2) in enhanced superoxide generation in neutrophils from people with diabetes mellitus and presents an alternate pathway independent of protein kinase C and phosphatidic acid phosphohydrolase-1 hydrolase signaling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Nitric oxide (NO) controls numerous physiological processes by activation of its receptor, guanylyl cyclase (sGC), leading to the accumulation of 3'-5' cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). Ca(2+)-calmodulin (CaM) regulates both NO synthesis by NO synthase and cGMP hydrolysis by phosphodiesterase-1. We report that, unexpectedly, the CaM antagonists, calmidazolium, phenoxybenzamine and trifluoperazine, also inhibited cGMP accumulation in cerebellar cells evoked by an exogenous NO donor, with IC(50) values of 11, 80 and 180 microM respectively. Here we sought to elucidate the underlying mechanism(s). EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH We used cerebellar cell suspensions to determine the influence of CaM antagonists on all steps of the NO-cGMP pathway. Homogenized tissue and purified enzyme were used to test effects of calmidazolium on sGC activity. KEY RESULTS Inhibition of cGMP accumulation in the cells did not depend on changes in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration. Degradation of cGMP and inactivation of NO were both inhibited by the CaM antagonists, ruling out increased loss of cGMP or NO as explanations. Instead, calmidazolium directly inhibited purified sGC (IC(50)= 10 microM). The inhibition was not in competition with NO, nor did it arise from displacement of the haem moiety from sGC. Calmidazolium decreased enzyme V(max) and K(m), indicating that it acts in an uncompetitive manner. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS The disruption of every stage of NO signal transduction by common CaM antagonists, unrelated to CaM antagonism, cautions against their utility as pharmacological tools. More positively, the compounds exemplify a novel class of sGC inhibitors that, with improved selectivity, may be therapeutically valuable.

Abstract
Phospholipases A2 (PLA2) catalyse the cleavage of fatty acids esterified at the sn-2 position of glycerophospholipids. In acute lung injury-acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI-ARDS) several distinct isoenzymes appear in lung cells and fluid. Some are capable to trigger molecular events leading to enhanced inflammation and lung damage and others have a role in lung surfactant recycling preserving lung function: Secreted forms (groups sPLA2-IIA, -V, -X) can directly hydrolyze surfactant phospholipids. Cytosolic PLA2 (cPLA2-IVA) requiring Ca2+ has a preference for arachidonate, the precursor of eicosanoids which participate in the inflammatory response in the lung. Ca(2+)-independent intracellular PLA2s (iPLA2) take part in surfactant phospholipids turnover within alveolar cells. Acidic Ca(2+)-independent PLA2 (aiPLA2), of lysosomal origin, has additionally antioxidant properties, (peroxiredoxin VI activity), and participates in the formation of dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylcholine in lung surfactant. PAF-AH degrades PAF, a potent mediator of inflammation, and oxidatively fragmented phospholipids but also leads to toxic metabolites. Therefore, the regulation of PLA2 isoforms could be a valuable approach for ARDS treatment.

Abstract
In vascular smooth muscle, KCl not only elevates intracellular free Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)), myosin light chain kinase activity and tension (T), but also can inhibit myosin light chain phosphatase activity by activation of rhoA kinase (ROCK), resulting in Ca(2+) sensitization (increased T/[Ca(2+)](i) ratio). Precisely how KCl causes ROCK-dependent Ca(2+) sensitization remains to be determined. Using Fura-2-loaded isometric rings of rabbit artery, we found that the Ca(2+)-independent phospholipase A(2) (iPLA(2)) inhibitor, bromoenol lactone (BEL), reduced the KCl-induced tonic but not early phasic phase of T and potentiated [Ca(2+)](i), reducing Ca(2+) sensitization. The PKC inhibitor, GF-109203X (> or =3 microM) and the pseudo-substrate inhibitor of PKCzeta produced a response similar to BEL. BEL reduced basal and KCl-stimulated myosin phosphatase phosphorylation. Whereas BEL and H-1152 produced strong inhibition of KCl-induced tonic T (approximately 50%), H-1152 did not induce additional inhibition of tissues already inhibited by BEL, suggesting that iPLA(2) links KCl stimulation with ROCK activation. The cPLA(2) inhibitor, pyrrolidine-1, inhibited KCl-induced tonic increases in [Ca(2+)](i) but not T, whereas the inhibitor of 20-HETE production, HET0016, acted like the ROCK inhibitor H-1152 by causing Ca(2+) desensitization. These data support a model in which iPLA(2) activity regulates Ca(2+) sensitivity.

Abstract
Store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) has been extensively studied in non-neuronal cells, such as glial cells and smooth muscle cells, in which Ca(2+)-independent phospholipase A(2) (iPLA(2)) has been shown to play a key role in the regulation of SOCE channels. In the present study, we have investigated the role of iPLA(2) for store-operated Ca(2+) entry in rat cerebellar granule neurons in acute brain slices using confocal Ca(2+) imaging. Depletion of Ca(2+) stores by cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) induced a Ca(2+) influx, which could be inhibited by SOCE channel blockers 2-aminoethoxy-diphenylborate (2-APB) and 3,5-bistrifluoromethyl pyrazole derivative (BTP2), but not by the voltage-operated Ca(2+) channel blocker diltiazem and by the Na+ channel blocker tetrodotoxin. The inhibitors of iPLA(2), bromoenol lactone (BEL) and 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-heptadecanone, and the selective suppression of iPLA(2) expression by antisense oligodeoxynucleotides, inhibited CPA-induced Ca(2+) influx. Calmidazolium, which relieves the block of inhibitory calmodulin from iPLA(2), elicited a Ca(2+) influx similar to CPA-induced Ca(2+) entry. The product of iPLA(2), lysophosphatidylinositol, elicited a 2-APB- and BTP2-sensitive, but BEL-insensitive, Ca(2+) influx. Spontaneous Ca(2+) oscillations in granule cells in acute brain slices were reduced after inhibiting iPLA(2) activity or by blocking SOCE channels. The results suggest that depletion of Ca(2+) stores activates iPLA(2) to trigger Ca(2+) influx by the formation of lysophospholipids in these neurons.

Abstract
TRPC channels are a subset of the transient receptor potential (TRP) proteins widely expressed in mammalian cells. They are thought to be primarily involved in determining calcium or sodium entry and have broad-ranging functions that include regulation of cell proliferation, motility and contraction. The channels do not respond to a single stimulator but rather are activated or modulated by a multiplicity of factors, potentially existing as integrators at the plasma membrane. This review considers the sensitivity of TRPCs to lipid factors, with focus on sensitivities to diacylglycerols, lysophospholipids, arachidonic acid and its metabolites, sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), cholesterol and derivatives, and other lipid factors such as gangliosides. Promiscuous and selective lipid-sensing are apparent. In many cases the lipids stimulate channel function or increase insertion of channels in the membrane. Both direct and indirect (receptor-dependent) lipid effects are evident. Although information is limited, the lipid profiles are consistent with TRPCs having close working relationships with phospholipase C and A2 enzymes. We need much more information about lipid-sensing by TRPCs if we are to fully appreciate its significance, but the available data suggest that lipid-sensing is a key, but not exclusive, aspect of TRPC biology.

Abstract
Stimulation of receptor-operated (ROCs) and store-operated (SOCs) Ca(2+)-permeable cation channels by vasoconstrictors has many important physiological functions in vascular smooth muscle. The present review indicates that ROCs and SOCs with diverse properties in different blood vessels are likely to be explained by composition of different subunits from the canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) family of cation channel proteins. In addition we illustrate that activation of native TRPC ROCs and SOCs involves different phospholipase-mediated transduction pathways linked to generation of diacylglycerol (DAG). Moreover we describe recent novel data showing that the endogenous phospholipid phosphoinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP(2)) has profound and contrasting actions on TRPC ROCs and SOCs. Optimal activation of a native TRPC6 ROC by angiotensin II (Ang II) requires both depletion of PIP(2) and generation of DAG which leads to stimulation of TRPC6 via a PKC-independent mechanism. The data also indicate that PIP(2) has a marked constitutive inhibitory action of TRPC6 and DAG and PIP(2) are physiological antagonists on TRPC6 ROCs. In contrast PIP(2) stimulates TRPC1 SOCs and has an obligatory role in activation of these channels by store-depletion which requires PKC-dependent phosphorylation of TRPC1 proteins. Finally, we conclude that interactions between PIP(2) bound to TRPC proteins at rest, generation of DAG and PKC-dependent phosphorylation of TRPC proteins have a fundamental role in activation mechanisms of ROCs and SOCs in vascular smooth muscle.

Abstract
Canonical-type transient receptor potential cation channel type 3 (TRPC3) allows the entry of extracellular Ca(2+) and Na(+) into various cells. In mouse skeletal myotubes, functional interaction between TRPC3 and RyR1 (ryanodine receptor type 1/Ca(2+)-release channel on sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane) regulates the gain of excitation-contraction coupling. Junctophilin-2 (JP2) is a TRPC3-interacting protein in mouse skeletal myotubes. Based on these knowledge from bona-fide TRPC3-expressing cells, to identify critical binding region(s) of JP2 that participate in binding to TRPC3, various JP2 portions were subjected to co-immunoprecipitation assay with intact TRPC3 from rabbit skeletal muscle. A region covering 143 to 234 amino acids of JP2 (F1-2) was the most efficient portion binding to TRPC3. Through mutational studies, we found that the binding ability of JP2 to TRPC3 was mainly due to glutamate in the F1-2 region (E227). This substantial binding between JP2 and TRPC3 suggests that JP2 can be a regulatory protein of TRPC3 and/or TRPC3-mediated Ca(2+) homeostasis in skeletal muscle.

Abstract
Background Antimicrobial peptides derived from the natural processing of chromogranin A (CgA) are co-secreted with catecholamines upon stimulation of chromaffin cells. Since PMNs play a central role in innate immunity, we examine responses by PMNs following stimulation by two antimicrobial CgA-derived peptides. Methodology/Principal Findings PMNs were treated with different concentrations of CgA-derived peptides in presence of several drugs. Calcium mobilization was observed by using flow cytometry and calcium imaging experiments. Immunocytochemistry and confocal microscopy have shown the intracellular localization of the peptides. The calmodulin-binding and iPLA2 activating properties of the peptides were shown by Surface Plasmon Resonance and iPLA2 activity assays. Finally, a proteomic analysis of the material released after PMNs treatment with CgA-derived peptides was performed by using HPLC and Nano-LC MS-MS. By using flow cytometry we first observed that after 15 s, in presence of extracellular calcium, Chromofungin (CHR) or Catestatin (CAT) induce a concentration-dependent transient increase of intracellular calcium. In contrast, in absence of extra cellular calcium the peptides are unable to induce calcium depletion from the stores after 10 minutes exposure. Treatment with 2-APB (2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate), a store operated channels (SOCs) blocker, inhibits completely the calcium entry, as shown by calcium imaging. We also showed that they activate iPLA2 as the two CaM-binding factors (W7 and CMZ) and that the two sequences can be aligned with the two CaM-binding domains reported for iPLA2. We finally analyzed by HPLC and Nano-LC MS-MS the material released by PMNs following stimulation by CHR and CAT. We characterized several factors important for inflammation and innate immunity. Conclusions/Significance For the first time, we demonstrate that CHR and CAT, penetrate into PMNs, inducing extracellular calcium entry by a CaM-regulated iPLA2 pathway. Our study highlights the role of two CgA-derived peptides in the active communication between neuroendocrine and immune systems.

Abstract
Calcium acts as a second messenger in many cell types, including lymphocytes. Resting lymphocytes maintain a low concentration of Ca2+. However, engagement of antigen receptors induces calcium influx from the extracellular space by several routes. A chief mechanism of Ca2+ entry in lymphocytes is through store-operated calcium (SOC) channels. The identification of two important molecular components of SOC channels, CRACM1 (the pore-forming subunit) and STIM1 (the sensor of stored calcium), has allowed genetic and molecular manipulation of the SOC entry pathway. In this review, we highlight advances in the understanding of Ca2+ signaling in lymphocytes with special emphasis on SOC entry. We also discuss outstanding questions and probable future directions of the field.

Abstract
Signal-activated phospholipases are a recent focus of the rapidly growing field of lipid signaling. The extent of their impact on the pathways regulating diverse cell functions is beginning to be appreciated. A critical step in inflammation is the attraction of leukocytes to injured or diseased tissue. Chemotaxis of leukocytes, a requisite process for monocyte and neutrophil extravasation from the blood into tissues, is a critical step for initiating and maintaining inflammation in both acute and chronic settings. Recent studies have identified new important and required roles for two signal-activated phospholipases A2 (PLA2) in regulating chemotaxis. The two intracellular phospholipases, cPLA2alpha (Group IVA) and iPLA2beta (Group VIA), act in parallel to provide distinct lipid mediators at different intracellular sites that are both required for leukocytes to migrate toward the chemokine monocyte chemoattractant protein-1. This review will summarize the separate roles of these phospholipases as well as what is currently known about the influence of two other classes of intracellular signal-activated phospholipases, phospholipase C and phospholipase D, in regulating chemotaxis in eukaryotic cells, but particularly in human monocytes. The contributions of these phospholipases to chemotaxis both in vitro and in vivo will be highlighted.

Abstract
In the present study the effect of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) was studied on a native TRPC1 store-operated channel (SOC) in freshly dispersed rabbit portal vein myocytes. Application of diC8-PIP2, a water soluble form of PIP2, to quiescent inside-out patches evoked single channel currents with a unitary conductance of 1.9 pS. DiC8-PIP2-evoked channel currents were inhibited by anti-TRPC1 antibodies and these characteristics are identical to SOCs evoked by cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) and BAPTA-AM. SOCs stimulated by CPA, BAPTA-AM and the phorbol ester phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) were reduced by anti-PIP2 antibodies and by depletion of tissue PIP2 levels by pre-treatment of preparations with wortmannin and LY294002. However, these reagents did not alter the ability of PIP2 to activate SOCs in inside-out patches. Co-immunoprecipitation techniques demonstrated association between TRPC1 and PIP2 at rest, which was greatly decreased by wortmannin and LY294002. Pre-treatment of cells with PDBu, which activates protein kinase C (PKC), augmented SOC activation by PIP2 whereas the PKC inhibitor chelerythrine decreased SOC stimulation by PIP2. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments provide evidence that PKC-dependent phosphorylation of TRPC1 occurs constitutively and was increased by CPA and PDBu but decreased by chelerythrine. These novel results show that PIP2 can activate TRPC1 SOCs in native vascular myocytes and plays an important role in SOC activation by CPA, BAPTA-AM and PDBu. Moreover, the permissive role of PIP2 in SOC activation requires PKC-dependent phosphorylation of TRPC1.
