Abstract
PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW This review summarizes current understanding on the roles of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) metabolism in the pathogeneses and treatment development of metabolic and cardiac diseases. RECENT FINDINGS NAD+ was identified as a redox cofactor in metabolism and a co-substrate for a wide range of NAD+-dependent enzymes. NAD+ redox imbalance and depletion are associated with many pathologies where metabolism plays a key role, for example cardiometabolic diseases. This review is to delineate the current knowledge about harnessing NAD+ metabolism as potential therapy for cardiometabolic diseases. The review has summarized how NAD+ redox imbalance and depletion contribute to the pathogeneses of cardiometabolic diseases. Therapeutic evidence involving activation of NAD+ synthesis in pre-clinical and clinical studies was discussed. While activation of NAD+ synthesis shows great promise for therapy, the field of NAD+ metabolism is rapidly evolving. Therefore, it is expected that new mechanisms will be discovered as therapeutic targets for cardiometabolic diseases.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca2+) is a ubiquitous and fundamental signaling component that is utilized by cells to regulate a diverse range of cellular functions, such as insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells of the islets of Langerhans. Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR), synthesized from NAD+ by ADP-ribosyl cyclase family proteins, such as the mammalian cluster of differentiation 38 (CD38), is important for intracellular Ca2+ mobilization for cell functioning. cADPR induces Ca2+ release from endoplasmic reticulum via the ryanodine receptor intracellular Ca2+ channel complex, in which the FK506-binding protein 12.6 works as a cADPR-binding regulatory protein. Recently, involvements of the CD38-cADPR signal system in several human diseases and animal models have been reported. This review describes the biochemical and molecular biological basis of the CD38-cADPR signal system and the diseases caused by its abnormalities.

Abstract
Importance Substantial genome-wide association study (GWAS) work in Parkinson disease (PD) has led to the discovery of an increasing number of loci shown reliably to be associated with increased risk of disease. Improved understanding of the underlying genes and mechanisms at these loci will be key to understanding the pathogenesis of PD. Objective To investigate what genes and genomic processes underlie the risk of sporadic PD. Design and Setting This genetic association study used the bioinformatic tools Coloc and transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) to integrate PD case-control GWAS data published in 2017 with expression data (from Braineac, the Genotype-Tissue Expression [GTEx], and CommonMind) and methylation data (derived from UK Parkinson brain samples) to uncover putative gene expression and splicing mechanisms associated with PD GWAS signals. Candidate genes were further characterized using cell-type specificity, weighted gene coexpression networks, and weighted protein-protein interaction networks. Main Outcomes and Measures It was hypothesized a priori that some genes underlying PD loci would alter PD risk through changes to expression, splicing, or methylation. Candidate genes are presented whose change in expression, splicing, or methylation are associated with risk of PD as well as the functional pathways and cell types in which these genes have an important role. Results Gene-level analysis of expression revealed 5 genes (WDR6 [OMIM 606031], CD38 [OMIM 107270], GPNMB [OMIM 604368], RAB29 [OMIM 603949], and TMEM163 [OMIM 618978]) that replicated using both Coloc and TWAS analyses in both the GTEx and Braineac expression data sets. A further 6 genes (ZRANB3 [OMIM 615655], PCGF3 [OMIM 617543], NEK1 [OMIM 604588], NUPL2 [NCBI 11097], GALC [OMIM 606890], and CTSB [OMIM 116810]) showed evidence of disease-associated splicing effects. Cell-type specificity analysis revealed that gene expression was overall more prevalent in glial cell types compared with neurons. The weighted gene coexpression performed on the GTEx data set showed that NUPL2 is a key gene in 3 modules implicated in catabolic processes associated with protein ubiquitination and in the ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process in the nucleus accumbens, caudate, and putamen. TMEM163 and ZRANB3 were both important in modules in the frontal cortex and caudate, respectively, indicating regulation of signaling and cell communication. Protein interactor analysis and simulations using random networks demonstrated that the candidate genes interact significantly more with known mendelian PD and parkinsonism proteins than would be expected by chance. Conclusions and Relevance Together, these results suggest that several candidate genes and pathways are associated with the findings observed in PD GWAS studies.

Abstract
Pancreatic islet β-cell dysfunction is characterized by defective glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) and is a predominant component of the pathophysiology of diabetes. Imeglimin, a novel first-in-class small molecule tetrahydrotriazine drug candidate, improves glycemia and GSIS in preclinical models and clinical trials in patients with Type 2 diabetes; however, the mechanism by which it restores β-cell function is unknown. Here, we show that imeglimin acutely and directly amplifies GSIS in islets isolated from rodents with Type 2 diabetes via a mode of action that is distinct from other known therapeutic approaches. The underlying mechanism involves increases in the cellular nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) pool-potentially via the salvage pathway and induction of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) along with augmentation of glucose-induced ATP levels. Further, additional results suggest that NAD+ conversion to a second messenger, cyclic ADP ribose (cADPR), via ADP ribosyl cyclase/cADPR hydrolase (CD38) is required for imeglimin's effects in islets, thus representing a potential link between increased NAD+ and enhanced glucose-induced Ca2+ mobilization which-in turn-is known to drive insulin granule exocytosis. Collectively, these findings implicate a novel mode of action for imeglimin that explains its ability to effectively restore-β-cell function and provides for a new approach to treat patients suffering from Type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
In pancreatic islet cell culture models and animal models, we studied the molecular mechanisms involved in the development of insulin-dependent diabetes. The diabetogenic agents, alloxan and streptozotocin, caused DNA strand breaks, which in turn activated poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase/synthetase (PARP) to deplete NAD+, thereby inhibiting islet β-cell functions such as proinsulin synthesis and ultimately leading to β-cell necrosis. Radical scavengers protected against the formation of DNA strand breaks and inhibition of proinsulin synthesis. Inhibitors of PARP prevented the NAD+ depletion, inhibition of proinsulin synthesis and β-cell death. These findings led to the proposed unifying concept for β-cell damage and its prevention (the Okamoto model). The model met one proof with PARP knockout animals and was further extended by the discovery of cyclic ADP-ribose as the second messenger for Ca2+ mobilization in glucose-induced insulin secretion and by the identification of Reg (Regenerating gene) for β-cell regeneration. Physiological and pathological events found in pancreatic β-cells have been observed in other cells and tissues.

SETD7 promotes TNF-α-induced proliferation and migration of airway smooth muscle cells in vitro through enhancing NF-κB/CD38 signaling. Int Immunopharmacol 2020; 72:459-466.

Abstract
The inflammation-induced the excessive proliferation and migration of airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells in the airway wall contribute to airway remodeling in asthma pathogenesis. SET domain-containing lysine methyltransferase 7 (SETD7) has emerged as one of the key regulators of inflammation. Yet, the function of SETD7 in regulating inflammation-induced ASM cell proliferation and invasion remains unclear. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the function of SETD7 in regulating ASM cell proliferation and invasion induced by tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in vitro. Our results showed that SETD7 expression was upregulated in ASM cells stimulated with TNF-α. Silencing SETD7 significantly decreased TNF-α-induced ASM cell proliferation and migration, while SETD7 overexpression exhibited the opposite effect. Notably, silencing SETD7 decreased the activation of nuclear factor (NF)-κB and reduced the expression of CD38 induced by TNF-α. Blocking NF-κB activation significantly abrogated the promotional effect of SETD7 overexpression on CD38 expression. Moreover, overexpression of CD38 partially reversed the inhibitory effect of SETD7 silencing on TNF-α-induced ASM cell proliferation and migration. Overall, these results demonstrate that SETD7 regulates TNF-α-induced ASM cell proliferation and migration through modulation of NF-κB/CD38 signaling, suggesting a potential role of SETD7 in asthma airway remodeling.

Abstract
CD38 is an ectoenzyme that catalyzes the conversion of β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (β-NAD) to cyclic adenosine diphosphoribose (cADPR) and adenosine diphosphoribose (ADPR) and NADP to nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) and adenosine diphosphoribose-2'-phosphate (ADPR-P). The metabolites of NAD and NADP have roles in calcium signaling in different cell types including airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells. In ASM cells, inflammatory cytokines augment CD38 expression and to a greater magnitude in cells from asthmatics, indicating a greater capacity for the generation of cADPR and ADPR in ASM from asthmatics. CD38 deficient mice develop attenuated airway responsiveness to inhaled methacholine following allergen sensitization and challenge compared to wild-type mice indicating its potential role in asthma. Regulation of CD38 expression in ASM cells is achieved by mitogen activated protein kinases, specific isoforms of PI3 kinases, the transcription factors NF-κB and AP-1, and post-transcriptionally by microRNAs. This review will focus on the role of CD38 in intracellular calcium regulation in ASM, contribution to airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness in mouse models of allergic airway inflammation, the transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms of regulation of expression, and outline approaches to inhibit its expression and activity.

Abstract
Genetic and environmental factors contribute to the onset and severity of asthma. Molecular pathogenesis of asthma involves changes in gene expression by a variety of inflammatory mediators acting in autocrine and paracrine fashion on effector cells of the airways. Transcriptional regulation of gene expression in resident airway cells has been studied extensively. However, protein function in a target cell can be regulated at multiple levels starting from transcription followed by post-transcription, translation, and post-translation steps. In this context, small noncoding RNAs known as microRNAs (miRNAs) have evolved as one of the key regulators of gene expression post-transcriptionally. Most importantly, miRNA expression is dynamic in nature and can be regulated by a variety of external stimuli. Altered expression of individual or a group of miRNAs is thought to contribute to human diseases. Recent studies have implicated differential expression of miRNAs in the lungs during inflammation. Most importantly, advanced biochemical and molecular tools could be used to manipulate miRNA expression thereby effecting functional changes in target cells and organ systems. This review summarizes the current understanding of miRNA in the regulation of airway function in health and disease, and highlights the potential clinical utility of mRNAs as biomarkers of airway diseases and as potential therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Asthma is an inflammatory disease in which altered calcium regulation, contractility, and airway smooth muscle (ASM) proliferation contribute to airway hyper-responsiveness and airway wall remodeling. The enzymatic activity of CD38, a cell-surface protein expressed in human ASM cells, generates calcium mobilizing second messenger molecules such as cyclic ADP-ribose. CD38 expression in human ASM cells is augmented by cytokines (e.g., TNF-α) that requires the activation of MAP kinases and the transcription factors, NF-κB and AP-1, and is post-transcriptionally regulated by miR-140-3p and miR-708 by binding to 3' Untranslated Region of CD38 as well as by modulating the activation of signaling mechanisms involved in its regulation. Mice deficient in Cd38 exhibit reduced airway responsiveness to inhaled methacholine relative to the response in wild-type mice. Intranasal challenge of Cd38-deficient mice with TNF-α or IL-13, or the environmental fungus Alternaria alternata, causes significantly attenuated methacholine responsiveness compared with wild-type mice, with comparable airway inflammation. Reciprocal bone marrow transfer studies revealed partial restoration of airway hyper-responsiveness to inhaled methacholine in the Cd38-deficient mice. These studies provide evidence for CD38 involvement in the development of airway hyper-responsiveness; a hallmark feature of asthma. Future studies aimed at drug discovery and delivery targeting CD38 expression and (or) activity are warranted.

Abstract
The ecto-enzyme CD38 is gaining momentum as a novel therapeutic target for patients with hematological malignancies, with several anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies in clinical trials with promising results. In chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) CD38 is a marker of unfavorable prognosis and a central factor in the pathogenetic network underlying the disease: activation of CD38 regulates genetic pathways involved in proliferation and movement. Here we show that CD38 is enzymatically active in primary CLL cells and that its forced expression increases disease aggressiveness in a xenograft model. The effect is completely lost when using an enzyme-deficient version of CD38 with a single amino-acid mutation. Through the enzymatic conversion of NAD into ADPR (ADP-ribose) and cADPR (cyclic ADP-ribose), CD38 increases cytoplasmic Ca(2+) concentrations, positively influencing proliferation and signaling mediated via chemokine receptors or integrins. Consistently, inhibition of the enzymatic activities of CD38 using the flavonoid kuromanin blocks CLL chemotaxis, adhesion and in vivo homing. In a short-term xenograft model using primary cells, kuromanin treatment traps CLL cells in the blood, thereby increasing responses to chemotherapy. These results suggest that monoclonal antibodies that block the enzymatic activities of CD38 or enzyme inhibitors may prove therapeutically useful.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase/polymerase (PARP) activation causes NAD+ depletion in pancreatic beta-cells, which results in necrotic cell death. On the other hand, ADP-ribosyl cyclase/cyclic ADP-ribose hydrolase (CD38) synthesizes cyclic ADP-ribose from NAD+, which acts as a second messenger, mobilizing intracellular Ca2+ for insulin secretion in response to glucose in beta-cells. PARP also acts as a regenerating gene (Reg) transcription factor to induce beta-cell regeneration. This provides the new concept that NAD+ metabolism can control the cellular function through gene expression. Clinically, PARP could be one of the most important therapeutic targets; PARP inhibitors prevent cell death, maintain the formation of a second messenger, cyclic ADP-ribose, to achieve cell function, and keep PARP functional as a transcription factor for cell regeneration.

Abstract
Aims/hypothesis. ADP-ribosyl-cyclase activity (ADPRCA) of CD38 and other ectoenzymes mainly generate cyclic adenosine 5’diphosphate-(ADP-) ribose (cADPR) as a second messenger in various mammalian cells, including pancreatic beta cells and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Since PBMCs contribute to the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy, ADPRCA of PBMCs could serve as a clinical prognostic marker for diabetic nephropathy. This study aimed to investigate the connection between ADPRCA in PBMCs and diabetic complications.
Methods. PBMCs from 60 diabetic patients (10 for type 1 and 50 for type 2) and 15 nondiabetic controls were fluorometrically measured for ADPRCA based on the conversion of nicotinamide guanine dinucleotide (NGD+) into cyclic GDP-ribose.
Results. ADPRCA negatively correlated with the level of HbA1c (P = .040, R2 = .073), although ADPRCA showed no significant correlation with gender, age, BMI, blood pressure, level of fasting plasma glucose and lipid levels, as well as type, duration, or medication of diabetes. Interestingly, patients with nephropathy, but not other complications, presented significantly lower ADPRCA than those without nephropathy
(P = .0198) and diabetes (P = .0332). ANCOVA analysis adjusted for HbA1c showed no significant correlation between ADPRCA and nephropathy. However, logistic regression analyses revealed that determinants for nephropathy were systolic blood pressure and ADPRCA, not HbA1c.
Conclusion/interpretation. Decreased ADPRCA significantly correlated with diabetic nephropathy. ADPRCA in PBMCs would be an important marker associated with diabetic nephropathy.

Abstract
Human diabetes mellitus comprises two main clinical entities: type 1 and type 2 diabetes. While type 1 diabetes is autoimmune in origin, type 2 diabetes is due to a decreased sensitivity to insulin action (so-called insulin resistance) associated with impaired beta cell function. However, it is becoming increasingly clear that there is a certain overlap between these two diseases. While some degree of insulin resistance is present in type 1 diabetic patients, markers of beta cell autoimmunity (either primary or secondary) can frequently be detected in type 2 diabetic subjects. In this scenario, anti-CD38 autoantibodies (aAbs) have been described in both type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients. Contrary to the other known islet aAbs, anti-CD38 autoantibodies are more prevalent in long-standing than in new-onset type 1 diabetes, and more prevalent in type 2 than in type 1 diabetes. Moreover, anti-CD38 aAbs are endowed with unique stimulatory properties on Ca(2+) mobilization and insulin secretion. These observations suggest that autoimmunity may be both the cause and consequence of beta cell dysfunction, in either case imposing a further toll for the control of glucose homeostasis.

CD38 exerts pleiotropic actions in hemopoietic and nonhemopoietic compartments via effects on calcium mobilization. ART2 is an ADP-ribosyltransferase on naive CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. ART2-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation of the P2X7 purinoreceptor elicits apoptosis. Transfer of a genetically disrupted CD38 allele into the autoimmune diabetes-prone NOD/Lt background accelerated diabetes onset in both sexes, whereas transfer of a disrupted ART2 complex had no effect. However, the fact that the accelerated pathogenesis mediated by CD38 deficiency required ART2 activity was demonstrated by combining both ART2 and CD38 deficiencies. Reciprocal bone marrow reconstitution studies demonstrated accelerated diabetes only when CD38-deficient bone marrow was transferred into CD38-deficient recipients. Neither decreases in beta cell function nor viability were indicated. Rather, the balance between T-effectors and T-regulatory cells was disturbed in CD38-deficient but ART2-intact NOD mice. In these mice, significant reductions in total viable CD8+ T cells were observed. This was accompanied by an age-dependent increase in a diabetogenic CD8 clonotype. This in turn correlated with impaired T-regulatory development (10-fold reduction in Foxp3 mRNA expression). These changes were corrected when CD38 deficiency was combined with ART2 deficiency. Both ART2-deficient and CD38/ART2 combined deficient T cells were resistant to NAD-induced killing in vitro, whereas CD38-deficient but ART2-intact T cells showed increased sensitivity, particularly the CD4+ CD25+ subset. Unexpectedly, diabetes development in the combined CD38/ART2 stock was strongly suppressed, possibly through epistatic interactions between genes linked to the targeted CD38 on Chromosome 5 and the ART2 complex on Chromosome 7.

Abstract
AIMS To test for anti-CD38 autoimmunity in children with newly-diagnosed type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1). METHODS Serum anti-CD38 autoantibodies were detected by Western blot in 270 children (130 girls, 140 boys, mean age 8 +/- 4 years) with newly-diagnosed DM1 and 179 gender- and age-matched non-diabetic children. In 126 diabetic children, another blood sample was obtained 15 +/- 4 months after the diagnosis. RESULTS Anti-CD38 autoantibody titers at least 3 SD above the mean value for the control group were found in 4.4% of children with DM1 vs 0.6% of controls (chi2 = 5.8, p <0.016). No statistical differences were observed between anti-CD38 positive and negative patients in terms of phenotype. At follow-up, of six diabetic children who were positive for anti-CD38 antibodies, two were new cases. A positive correlation was found between the antibody titer of diabetic sera at diagnosis and follow up (r = 0.46, p <0.0001). CONCLUSION An autoimmune reaction against CD38, a protein expressed in human islets, is associated with newly-diagnosed DM1. In children with DM1, CD38 autoimmunity increases with time and persists.

Abstract
ATP-sensitive K+ channels (KATP channels) are present in various tissues, including pancreatic beta-cells, heart, skeletal muscles, vascular smooth muscles, and brain. KATP channels are hetero-octameric proteins composed of inwardly rectifying K+ channel (Kir6.x) and sulfonylurea receptor (SUR) subunits. Different combinations of Kir6.x and SUR subunits comprise KATP channels with distinct electrophysiological and pharmacological properties. Recent studies of genetically engineered mice have provided insight into the physiological and pathophysiological roles of Kir6.x-containing KATP channels. Analysis of Kir6.2 null mice has shown that Kir6.2/SUR1 channels in pancreatic beta-cells and the hypothalamus are essential in glucose-induced insulin secretion and hypoglycemia-induced glucagon secretion, respectively, and that Kir6.2/SUR2 channels are involved in glucose uptake in skeletal muscles. Kir6.2-containing KATP channels in brain also are involved in protection from hypoxia-induced generalized seizure. In cardiovascular tissues, Kir6.1-containing KATP channels are involved in regulation of vascular tonus. In addition, the Kir6.1 null mouse is a model of Prinzmetal angina in humans. Our studies of Kir6.2 null and Kir6.1 null mice reveal that KATP channels are critical metabolic sensors in acute metabolic changes, including hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, ischemia, and hypoxia.

Abstract
CD38/cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose (cADPR) signaling plays an important role in the regulation of intracellular calcium responses to agonists in a variety of cells, including airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells. The present study was aimed at determining the effect of interleukin (IL)-13, a cytokine implicated in the pathogenesis of asthma, on CD38/cADPR signaling and to ascertain the contribution of CD38/cADPR signaling to IL-13-induced airway hyperresponsiveness. Human ASM cells maintained in culture were exposed to 50 ng/ml IL-13 for 22 h and levels of CD38 expression and intracellular calcium responses to agonists were measured. Treatment of human ASM cells with IL-13 resulted in increased CD38 expression as determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction, Western blot analysis, and indirect immunofluorescence. Increased CD38 expression was reflected as increased ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity in the ASM cell membranes. The net intracellular calcium responses to bradykinin, thrombin, and histamine were significantly (P < or = 0.05) higher in cells treated with IL-13 compared with controls. Furthermore, 8-bromo-cADPR, a cADPR antagonist, attenuated IL-13-induced augmented intracellular calcium responses to agonists in human ASM cells. These findings indicate that the CD38/cADPR-dependent pathway has a major role in IL-13-induced modulation of calcium signaling in human ASM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether CD38 loss in benign and malignant prostatic disease is related to human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR up-regulation, by assessing the histopathology of the prostate and the effect of androgen deprivation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Serial sections of frozen fetal (eight), infant (six), normal adult (10), benign hyperplastic (BPH, 24), and primary (10) and hormone-treated (11) carcinomatous human prostatic tissues were analysed by immunohistology for anti-CD38 and HLA-DR antigens. RESULTS In BPH samples there was a significant correlation between CD38 loss (mean 21% of acini) and HLA-DR up-regulation (mean 20%; P < 0.001). Moreover, 76% of all CD38-negative acini in BPH had HLA-DR up-regulation in the same prostate epithelial cells, predominantly in atrophic and cystic glands, and in cells with retained secretions (74%). In contrast to the uniform expression in normal adult prostate, CD38 was negative or partly expressed in fetal acini (mean 19%) and almost completely negative in acini of the early infant period (mean 0.7%). In contrast to BPH, cancer cells did not selectively up-regulate HLA-DR when CD38 was lost. In patients with cancer treated by androgen deprivation, cancer cells were CD38-negative. CONCLUSIONS The absence of CD38 and presence of HLA-DR expression in prostatic epithelium is consistent in BPH and tissue surrounding tumour, and strongly related to gland atrophy. This is particularly interesting as HLA-DR triggering can induce apoptosis of cells, whereas CD38 prevents it. A permissive role for androgens to maintain full CD38 expression in epithelial cells is suggested.

Abstract
Important questions remain concerning how elevated blood glucose levels are coupled to insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells and how this process is impaired in type 2 diabetes. Glucose uptake and metabolism in beta cells cause the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) to increase to a degree necessary and sufficient for triggering insulin release. Although both Ca(2+) influx and Ca(2+) release from internal stores are critical, the roles of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) and cyclic adenosine dinucleotide phosphate ribose (cADPR) in regulating the latter have proven equivocal. Here we show that glucose also increases [Ca(2+)](i) via the novel Ca(2+)-mobilizing agent nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) in the insulin-secreting beta-cell line MIN6. NAADP binds to specific, high-affinity membrane binding sites and at low concentrations elicits robust Ca(2+) responses in intact cells. Higher concentrations of NAADP inactivate NAADP receptors and attenuate the glucose-induced Ca(2+) increases. Importantly, glucose stimulation increases endogenous NAADP levels, providing strong evidence for recruitment of this pathway. In conclusion, our results support a model in which NAADP mediates glucose-induced Ca(2+) signaling in pancreatic beta cells and are the first demonstration in mammalian cells of the presence of endogenous NAADP levels that can be regulated by a physiological stimulus.

Abstract
In the early 1980s we found that streptozotocin and alloxan, typical diabetogenic agents, induce pancreatic beta-cell DNA strand breaks through the formation of free radicals. The breaks induce DNA repair involving the activation of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), which uses NAD+ as a substrate. As a result, the intracellular levels of NAD+ fall dramatically. The fall in NAD+ inhibits cellular functions including insulin synthesis and secretion, and thus the beta-cell ultimately dies. We subsequently proposed that maintenance of the NAD+ level is essential for the synthesis and secretion of insulin, and presented a unifying model for beta-cell damage and its prevention (The Okamoto model), in which PARP activation plays an essential role. Recently, the model was reconfirmed by experiments using PARP knockout mice and has been recognized as providing the basis for necrotic death of various cells and tissues. In 1993, we found that cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR), a metabolite of NAD+, is a second messenger for intracellular Ca2+ mobilization for insulin secretion by glucose, and proposed a novel mechanism of insulin secretion, the CD38-cADPR signal system. Recently, various physiological phenomena from animal to plant cells become understandable in terms of this signal system. In 1984, we demonstrated that the administration of PARP inhibitors to 90% depancreatized rats induces islet regeneration. From the regenerating islet-derived cDNA library we found a novel beta-cell growth factor gene, Reg (Regenerating Gene), and elucidated the mechanism of Reg gene expression in beta-cells, in which PARP acts as a transcription factor for Reg gene expression. PARP bound to the cis-element of Reg promoter and formed the active transcriptional DNA/protein complex. The complex formation was inhibited depending on the autopoly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of PARP in the complex. Thus, PARP inhibitors enhance and stabilize the complex formation for Reg gene transcription. Reg protein acts as an autocrine/paracrine growth factor to induce beta-cell replication via the Reg receptor and ameliorates experimental diabetes.

Abstract
Twenty years ago, we first proposed our hypothesis on beta-cell damage and its prevention (the Okamoto model), according to which poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase/polymerase (PARP) activation is critically involved in the consumption of NAD(+), leading to energy depletion and cell death by necrosis. Recently, the model was reconfirmed by results using PARP knockout mice and has been recognized as providing the basis for necrotic death of various cells and tissues. Based on the model, we proposed two signal systems in beta-cells: one is the CD38-cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) signal system for insulin secretion, and the other is the regenerating gene protein (Reg)-Reg receptor system for beta-cell regeneration. The physiological and pathological significance of the two signal systems in a variety of cells and tissues as well as in pancreatic beta-cells has recently been recognized. Here, we describe the Okamoto model and its descendents, the CD38-cADPR signal system and the Reg-Reg receptor system, focusing on recent advances and how their significance came to light. Because PARP is involved in Reg gene transcription to induce beta-cell regeneration, and the PARP activation reduces the cellular NAD(+) to decrease the formation of cADPR (a second messenger for insulin secretion) and further to cause necrotic beta-cell death, PARP and its inhibitors have key roles in the induction of beta-cell regeneration, the maintenance of insulin secretion, and the prevention of beta-cell death.

Abstract
Autoantibodies against CD38 (adenosine-5'-diphosphate[ADP]-ribosyl cyclase/cyclic ADP-ribose hydrolase) have been described in 10-12% of patients with type 2 diabetes. In human islets, anti-CD38 autoantibodies (CD38Abs) acutely stimulate insulin release (IR) and increase the cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)). Whether CD38Abs affect human islet cell function and survival upon prolonged in vitro exposure is not known. We cultured human islets for up to 7 days in the presence of sera from 10 patients with type 2 diabetes that had neither CD38Ab- nor [Ca(2+)](i)-mobilizing activity (-/-), sera from 6 patients with type 2 diabetes that was CD38Ab-positive and had [Ca(2+)](i)-mobilizing activity (+/+), or no sera (control). At baseline, +/+ sera caused a significant (P < 0.002) acute stimulation of IR (IR at 3.3 mmol/l glucose was 45 +/- 19, 84 +/- 24, and 34 +/- 12 micro U/ml in control, +/+, and -/- sera, respectively; the corresponding IR at 16.7 mmol/l glucose was 72 +/- 25, 204 +/- 56, and 80 +/- 32 micro U/ml). At 3 days, IR at 3.3 mmol/l glucose was 42 +/- 18, 27 +/- 11, and 43 +/- 24 micro U/ml (P = 0.0003) for control, +/+, and -/- sera, respectively, whereas at 16.7 mmol/l glucose, it was 95 +/- 76, 45 +/- 35, and 76 +/- 42 micro U/ml, respectively. After 7 days of exposure, the corresponding IR at 3.3 mmol/l glucose was 40 +/- 11, 28 +/- 12, and 35 +/- 15 micro U/ml, respectively, whereas at 16.7 mmol/l glucose it was 79 +/- 39, 39 +/- 17, and 62 +/- 39 micro U/ml. At both 3 and 7 days, IR still increased when switching from 3.3 to 16.7 mmol/l glucose (P < 0.0003), and incubation with +/+ sera induced a significant decrease in the insulin response (P < 0.002). At 7 days, the number of dead cells (as evaluated by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique) differed significantly between control (1.2 +/- 0.3 OD units) cells, islets exposed to -/- sera (1.4 +/- 0.1), and islets coincubated with +/+ sera (1.9 +/- 0.4, P < 0.01). We conclude that prolonged exposure of human islets to sera positive for the presence of CD38Abs with [Ca(2+)](i)-mobilizing activity impairs beta-cell function and viability in cultured human pancreatic islets.

Abstract
The list of Ca(2+) channels involved in stimulus-secretion coupling in beta-cells is increasing. In this respect the roles of the voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels and IP(3) receptors are well accepted. There is a lack of consensus about the significance of a third group of Ca(2+) channels called ryanodine (RY) receptors. These are large conduits located on Ca(2+) storage organelle. Ca(2+) gates these channels in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Activation of these channels by Ca(2+) leads to fast release of Ca(2+) from the stores, a process called Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release (CICR). A substantial body of evidence confirms that beta-cells have RY receptors. CICR by RY receptors amplifies Ca(2+) signals. Some properties of RY receptors ensure that this amplification process is engaged in a context-dependent manner. Several endogenous molecules and processes that modulate RY receptors determine the appropriate context. Among these are several glycolytic intermediates, long-chain acyl CoA, ATP, cAMP, cADPR, NO, and high luminal Ca(2+) concentration, and all of these have been shown to sensitize RY receptors to the trigger action of Ca(2+). RY receptors, thus, detect co-incident signals and integrate them. These Ca(2+) channels are targets for the action of cAMP-linked incretin hormones that stimulate glucose-dependent insulin secretion. In beta-cells some RY receptors are located on the secretory vesicles. Thus, despite their low abundance, RY receptors are emerging as distinct players in beta-cell function by virtue of their large conductance, strategic locations, and their ability to amplify Ca(2+) signals in a context-dependent manner.

Abstract
Autoantibodies directed against human CD38 (an enzyme catalysing the interconversion of NAD(+) and cyclic ADP-ribose) have been demonstrated recently in patients with type 2 diabetes. We tested 220 consecutive Caucasian patients with autoimmune chronic thyroiditis, 104 patients with Graves' disease, 220 subjects from the general population (control I) and 78 healthy control subjects not affected by thyroid autoimmune disorders (control II) for the presence of anti-CD38 autoimmunity. Using Western blot analysis and optical densitometry, a specific band corresponding to human recombinant CD38 was identified in the serum of several subjects. By defining anti-CD38 positivity as a standardized optical reading > 3 s.d. higher than the mean value of control I, 10.4% of patients with thyroiditis and 7.7% of Graves' patients were anti-CD38 positive (P = 0.0009 versus 1.8% of control I). Similarly, 13.1% of patients with thyroiditis and 10.5% of Graves' patients had a standardized optical reading > 3 s.d. higher than the mean value of the subjects not affected by thyroid autoimmune disorders (P = 0.002 versus 1.2% of control II). Anti-CD38 autoimmunity did not differ between euthyroid, hyperthyroid or hypothyroid patients or between patients with or without thyroid hypoechogenicity. Anti-CD38 autoantibodies were associated with higher levels of circulating antithyroid-peroxidase antibodies (P = 0.03) and they were more frequent in Graves' patients with ophthalmopathy (P < 0.05). Anti-CD38 autoantibodies are a new autoimmune marker in chronic autoimmune thyroiditis and Graves' disease. The specific role of CD38 and its autoantibodies in the modulation of thyroid cell function or growth remains to be investigated.

Abstract
Signaling via release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores is mediated by several systems, including the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and cADP-ribose (cADPR) pathway. We recently discovered a high capacity for cADPR synthesis in rat glomeruli and cultured mesangial cells (MC). We sought to determine whether 1) cADPR synthesis in MC is regulated by cytokines and hormones, 2) ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are expressed in MC, and 3) Ca2+ is released through RyRs in response to cADPR. We found that ADP-ribosyl cyclase, a CD38-like enzyme that catalyzes cADPR synthesis, is upregulated in MC by tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1beta, and all-trans retinoic acid (atRA). [3H]ryanodine binds to microsomal fractions from MC with high affinity in a Ca2+-dependent manner; binding is enhanced by specific RyR agonists and blocked by ruthenium red and cADPR. Western blot analysis confirmed the presence of RyR in MC. Release of 45Ca2+ from MC microsomes was stimulated by cADPR; release was blocked by ruthenium red and 8-bromo-cADPR. ADPR (non-cyclic) was without effect. In MC, TNF-alpha and atRA amplified the increment of cytoplasmic Ca2+ elicited by vasopressin. We conclude that MC possess elements of a novel ADP-ribosyl cyclase-->cADPR-->RyR-->Ca2+-release signaling pathway subject to regulation by proinflammatory cytokines and steroid superfamily hormones.

Abstract
CD38 is involved in transmembrane signaling in many cell types; anti-CD38 autoantibodies have been described in diabetic patients. We tested whether human anti-CD38 antibodies possess signaling properties by measuring their ability to raise intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) using the fluo-3-acetoxymethyl ester method in a human-derived T-cell line (Jurkat T-cells, expressing high levels of surface CD38) and in dispersed human islet cells from normal donors. In Jurkat T-cells, 11 of 19 anti-CD38-positive sera raised [Ca2+]i (by > or =20% of baseline), whereas no [Ca2+]i-mobilizing activity was found in 27 anti-CD38-negative sera (chi2 = 20.5, P < 0.0001). In dispersed human islet cells, 5 of 11 anti-CD38-positive sera (and none of three anti-CD38-negative sera) raised [Ca2+]i significantly. When preincubated with Staphylococcus aureus protein A to remove IgG, anti-CD38-positive sera showed a 70 +/- 5% reduction in [Ca2+]i-mobilizing activity. Preincubation with CD38-transfected NIH-3T3 fibroblasts, but not with mock-transfected NIH-3T3 cells, abolished [Ca2+]i mobilization. In blocking experiments, preincubation with nonagonistic anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies also prevented [Ca2+]i mobilization. In cultured human islets, anti-CD38-positive sera exhibiting [Ca2+]i-mobilizing activity in Jurkat T-cells (n = 6) significantly stimulated insulin release at 3.3 mmol/l glucose (median [interquartile range] 738 microU/ml [234], P = 0.0001 vs. 320 [52] microU/ml of control), whereas 6 anti-CD38-positive sera without [Ca2+]i-mobilizing activity and 10 anti-CD38-negative did not. In further incubations, the five anti-CD38-positive sera displaying [Ca2+]i-mobilizing activity in dispersed islet cells significantly stimulated insulin release at both 3.3 mmol/l glucose (2.2 +/- 0.3% of insulin islet content, P < 0.002 vs. 1.2 +/- 0.1% of control) and 16.7 mmol/l glucose (3.7 +/- 0.3 vs. 2.3 +/- 0.3%, P < 0.002). We conclude that human anti-CD38 autoantibodies with agonistic properties on the CD38 effector system occur in nature; in human islets, their [Ca2+]i-mobilizing activity is coupled with the ability to stimulate insulin release.

Abstract
Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction is unique to pulmonary arteries and serves to match lung perfusion to ventilation. However, in disease states this process can promote hypoxic pulmonary hypertension. Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction is associated with increased NADH levels in pulmonary artery smooth muscle and with intracellular Ca(2+) release from ryanodine-sensitive stores. Because cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) regulates ryanodine receptors and is synthesized from beta-NAD(+), we investigated the regulation by beta-NADH of cADPR synthesis and metabolism and the role of cADPR in hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction. Significantly higher rates of cADPR synthesis occurred in smooth muscle homogenates of pulmonary arteries, compared with homogenates of systemic arteries. When the beta-NAD(+):beta-NADH ratio was reduced, the net amount of cADPR accumulated increased. This was due, at least in part, to the inhibition of cADPR hydrolase by beta-NADH. Furthermore, hypoxia induced a 10-fold increase in cADPR levels in pulmonary artery smooth muscle, and a membrane-permeant cADPR antagonist, 8-bromo-cADPR, abolished hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction in pulmonary artery rings. We propose that the cellular redox state may be coupled via an increase in beta-NADH levels to enhanced cADPR synthesis, activation of ryanodine receptors, and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) release. This redox-sensing pathway may offer new therapeutic targets for hypoxic pulmonary hypertension.

Abstract
Insulin secretion is one of the functions mediated by CD38, a nonlineage pleiotropic cell surface receptor. The molecule is the target of an autoimmune response, because serum autoantibodies (aAbs) to CD38 have been detected in diabetic patients. In the healthy Caucasian population, the CD38 gene is bi-allelic (86% CD38*B and 14% CD38*A), whereas an Arg140Trp mutation has been identified in Japanese diabetic patients. We investigated the relationship between CD38 and diabetes in Caucasian patients by characterizing anti-CD38 aAbs in terms of prevalence and function (agonistic/nonagonistic activity) and by exploring the potential influence of the CD38 genetic background. A novel enzymatic immunoassay, using recombinant soluble CD38 as the target antigen, was developed for the analysis of anti-CD38 aAb titers. Sera from 19.15% of type 1 and 16.67% of type 2 diabetic patients were positive. The majority of anti-CD38 aAbs (57.14%) displayed agonistic properties, i.e., they demonstrated the capability to trigger Ca2+ release in lymphocytic cell lines. In agreement with these functional features, the presence of anti-CD38 aAbs in type 2 diabetic patients was associated with significantly higher levels of fasting plasma C-peptide and insulin, as compared with anti-CD38-counterparts. No diabetic subject carrying the Arg140Trp mutation and no preferential association between diabetes or aAb status and the CD38*A allele was found in the study population. These results show the significance of anti-CD38 aAbs as a new diagnostic marker of beta-cell autoimmunity in diabetes. Moreover, the prevalent agonistic activity of these aAbs suggests that they could mediate relevant effects on target cells by means of Ca2+ mobilization.

Abstract
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an intestinally derived insulinotropic hormone currently under investigation for use as a novel therapeutic agent in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. In vitro studies of pancreatic islets of Langerhans demonstrated that GLP-1 interacts with specific beta-cell G protein-coupled receptors, thereby facilitating insulin exocytosis by raising intracellular levels of cAMP and Ca2+. Here we report that the stimulatory influence of GLP-1 on Ca2+ signaling results, in part, from cAMP-dependent mobilization of ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+ stores. Studies of human, rat, and mouse beta-cells demonstrate that the binding of a fluorescent derivative of ryanodine (BODIPY FL-X ryanodine) to its receptors is specific, reversible, and of high affinity. Rat islets and BTC3 insulinoma cells are shown by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction analyses to express mRNA corresponding to the type 2 isoform of ryanodine receptor-intracellular Ca2+ release channel (RYR2). Single-cell measurements of [Ca2+]i using primary cultures of rat and human beta-cells indicate that GLP-1 facilitates Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR), whereby mobilization of Ca2+ stores is triggered by influx of Ca2+ through L-type Ca2+ channels. In these cells, GLP-1 is shown to interact with metabolism of D-glucose to produce a fast transient increase of [Ca2+]i. This effect is reproduced by 8-Br-cAMP, but is blocked by a GLP-1 receptor antagonist (exendin-(9-39)), a cAMP antagonist ((Rp)-cAMPS), an L-type Ca2+ channel antagonist (nimodipine), an antagonist of the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (thapsigargin), or by ryanodine. Characterization of the CICR mechanism by voltage clamp analysis also demonstrates a stimulation of Ca2+ release by caffeine. These findings provide new support for a model of beta-cell signal transduction whereby GLP-1 promotes CICR by sensitizing intracellular Ca2+ release channels to the stimulatory influence of cytosolic Ca2+.

Abstract
The lymphocyte cell surface antigen CD38, which was originally described as a differentiation marker, has emerged as an important multifunctional protein. Its most intriguing and well characterized function is its ability to catalyze the synthesis of cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) from NAD. cADPR serves as an important second messenger in controlling the release of intracellular calcium from ryanodine-sensitive intracellular pools. By virtue of its ability to synthesize cADPR as well as to act as an adhesion and signal transduction molecule, CD38 may play a role in such diverse physiological processes as cell growth, apoptosis, differentiation, and inflammation. Equally interesting is the pattern of CD38 expression in hematopoietic cells. In the bone marrow, early precursor cells predominantly express CD38 antigen, whereas mature circulating blood cells lack or express very low levels. The expression is also high on malignant hematopoietic cells and thus may be of prognostic relevance in certain leukemias. Presently, there is little information available on the factors that regulate the expression of CD38 antigen in hematopoietic cells. In this review, we summarize recent findings on the regulation of CD38 antigen by retinoids (vitamin A and related compounds). At least in the myeloid cell lineage, retinoids appear to be exquisitely potent and specific inducers of CD38 antigen expression, and retinoid-induced expression of CD38 is mediated via activation of the retinoic acid-alpha (RAR alpha) nuclear receptor.

Abstract
Increases in [Ca2+]i in pancreatic beta cells, resulting from Ca2+ mobilization from intracellular stores as well as Ca2+ influx from extracellular sources, are important in insulin secretion by glucose. Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR), accumulated in beta cells by glucose stimulation, has been postulated to serve as a second messenger for intracellular Ca2+ mobilization for insulin secretion, and CD38 is thought to be involved in the cADPR accumulation (Takasawa, S., Tohgo, A., Noguchi, N., Koguma, T., Nata, K., Sugimoto, T., Yonekura, H., and Okamoto, H. (1993) J. Biol. Chem. 268, 26052-26054). Here we created "knockout" (CD38(-/-)) mice by homologous recombination. CD38(-/-) mice developed normally but showed no increase in their glucose-induced production of cADPR in pancreatic islets. The glucose-induced [Ca2+]i rise and insulin secretion were both severely impaired in CD38(-/-) islets, whereas CD38(-/-) islets responded normally to the extracellular Ca2+ influx stimulants tolbutamide and KCl. CD38(-/-) mice showed impaired glucose tolerance, and the serum insulin level was lower than control, and these impaired phenotypes were rescued by beta cell-specific expression of CD38 cDNA. These results indicate that CD38 plays an essential role in intracellular Ca2+ mobilization by cADPR for insulin secretion.

Abstract
For normal glucose homeostasis, insulin release by the pancreatic beta cell is vital. Until recently, it was thought that glucose-induced ionic events, such as closure of the ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channels, membrane depolarization, activation of the L-type voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels, Ca2+ influx and elevation of cytosolic free Ca2+, constitute the main signalling pathway in beta-cell stimulus-secretion coupling. However, since the discovery of 'non-ionic' glucose actions in the beta cell by the Aizawa and Henquin laboratories in 1991, data have accumulated that strongly indicate the physiological relevance of this signalling pathway. In this review, Toru Aizawa and colleagues discuss how the KATP channel-Ca2+ hypothesis was formulated, what was overlooked in the hypothesis, and then provide a comprehensive view of stimulus-secretion coupling in the beta cell, with an emphasis on non-ionic glucose actions.

Abstract
Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) has been shown to be a mediator for intracellular Ca2+ mobilization for insulin secretion by glucose in pancreatic beta cells, and CD38 shows both ADP-ribosyl cyclase to synthesize cADPR from NAD+ and cADPR hydrolase to hydrolyze cADPR to ADP-ribose. We show here that 13.8% of Japanese non-insulin-dependent diabetes (NIDDM) patients examined have autoantibodies against CD38 and that the sera containing anti-CD38 autoantibodies inhibit the ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity of CD38 (P </= 0.05). Insulin secretion from pancreatic islets by glucose is significantly inhibited by the addition of the NIDDM sera with anti-CD38 antibodies (P </= 0.04-0.0001), and the inhibition of insulin secretion is abolished by the addition of recombinant CD38 (P </= 0.02). The increase of cADPR levels in pancreatic islets by glucose was also inhibited by the addition of the sera (P </= 0.05). These results strongly suggest that the presence of anti-CD38 autoantibodies in NIDDM patients can be one of the major causes of impaired glucose-induced insulin secretion in NIDDM.
