Abstract
Diabetes involves the death or dysfunction of pancreatic β-cells. Analysis of bulk sequencing from human samples and studies using in vitro and in vivo models suggest that endoplasmic reticulum and inflammatory signaling play an important role in diabetes progression. To better characterize cell type-specific stress response, we perform multiplexed single-cell RNA sequencing to define the transcriptional signature of primary human islet cells exposed to endoplasmic reticulum and inflammatory stress. Through comprehensive pair-wise analysis of stress responses across pancreatic endocrine and exocrine cell types, we define changes in gene expression for each cell type under different diabetes-associated stressors. We find that β-, α-, and ductal cells have the greatest transcriptional response. We utilize stem cell-derived islets to study islet health through the candidate gene CIB1, which was upregulated under stress in primary human islets. Our findings provide insights into cell type-specific responses to diabetes-associated stress and establish a resource to identify targets for diabetes therapeutics.

Abstract
In a previous report, keratinocytes were shown to share their gene expression profile with surrounding Langerhans cells (LCs), influencing LC biology. Here, we investigated whether transferred material could substitute for lost gene products in cells subjected to Cre/Lox conditional gene deletion. We found that in human Langerin-Cre mice, epidermal LCs and CD11b+CD103+ mesenteric DCs overcome gene deletion if the deleted gene was expressed by neighboring cells. The mechanism of material transfer differed from traditional antigen uptake routes, relying on calcium and PI3K, being susceptible to polyguanylic acid inhibition, and remaining unaffected by inflammation. Termed intracellular monitoring, this process was specific to DCs, occurring in all murine DC subsets tested and human monocyte-derived DCs. The transferred material was presented on MHC-I and MHC-II, suggesting a role in regulating immune responses.

Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1 plays a more prominent role than activating transcription factor 4 or the p53 tumour suppressor in thapsigargin-induced G1 arrest. PeerJ 2023; 11:e16683. [PMID: 38130926 PMCID: PMC10734451 DOI: 10.7717/peerj.16683] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2023] [Accepted: 11/24/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Thapsigargin (Tg) is a compound that inhibits the SERCA calcium transporter leading to decreased endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+ levels. Many ER chaperones are required for proper folding of membrane-associated and secreted proteins, and they are Ca2+ dependent. Therefore, Tg leads to the accumulation of misfolded proteins in the ER, activating the unfolded protein response (UPR) to help restore homeostasis. Tg reportedly induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in many cell types but how these changes are linked to the UPR remains unclear. The activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) plays a key role in regulating ER stress-induced gene expression so we sought to determine if ATF4 is required for Tg-induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis using ATF4-deficient cells. Methods Two-parameter flow cytometric analysis of DNA replication and DNA content was used to assess the effects of Tg on cell cycle distribution in isogenic HCT116-derived cell lines either expressing or lacking ATF4. For comparison, we similarly assessed the Tg response in isogenic cell lines deleted of the p53 tumour suppressor and the p53-regulated p21WAF1 cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor important in G1 and G2 arrests induced by DNA damage. Results Tg led to a large depletion of the S phase population with a prominent increase in the proportion of HCT116 cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. Importantly, this effect was largely independent of ATF4. We found that loss of p21WAF1 but not p53 permitted Tg treated cells to enter S phase and synthesize DNA. Therefore, p21WAF1plays an important role in these Tg-induced cell cycle alterations while ATF4 and p53 do not. Remarkably, the ATF4-, p53-and p21WAF1-deficient cell lines were all more sensitive to Tg-induced apoptosis. Taken together, p21WAF1 plays a larger role in regulating Tg-induced G1 and G2 arrests than ATF4 or p53 but these proteins similarly contribute to protection from Tg-induced apoptosis. This work highlights the complex network of stress responses that are activated in response to ER stress.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype of breast cancer with a high mortality rate due to a lack of therapeutic targets. Many TNBC cells are reliant on extracellular arginine for survival and express high levels of binding immunoglobin protein (BiP), a marker of metastasis and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response. METHODS In this study, the effect of arginine shortage on BiP expression in the TNBC cell line MDA-MB-231 was evaluated. Two stable cell lines were generated in MDA-MB-231 cells: the first expressed wild-type BiP, and the second expressed a mutated BiP free of the two arginine pause-site codons, CCU and CGU, termed G-BiP. RESULTS The results showed that arginine shortage induced a non-canonical ER stress response by inhibiting BiP translation via ribosome pausing. Overexpression of G-BiP in MDA-MB-231 cells promoted cell resistance to arginine shortage compared to cells overexpressing wild-type BiP. Additionally, limiting arginine led to decreased levels of the spliced XBP1 in the G-BiP overexpressing cells, potentially contributing to their improved survival compared to the parental WT BiP overexpressing cells. CONCLUSION In conclusion, these findings suggest that the downregulation of BiP disrupts proteostasis during arginine shortage-induced non-canonical ER stress and plays a key role in cell growth inhibition, indicating BiP as a target of codon-specific ribosome pausing upon arginine shortage.

Abstract
Macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs) in peripheral tissue interact closely with their local microenvironment by scavenging protein and nucleic acids released by neighboring cells. Material transfer between cell types is necessary for pathogen detection and antigen presentation, but thought to be relatively limited in scale. Recent reports, however, demonstrate that the quantity of transferred material can be quite large when DCs are in direct contact with live cells. This observation may be problematic for conditional gene deletion models that assume gene products will remain in the cell they are produced in. Here, we investigate whether conditional gene deletions induced by the widely used Cre/Lox system can be overcome at the protein level in DCs. Of concern, using the human Langerin Cre mouse model, we find that epidermal Langerhans cells and CD11b+CD103+ mesenteric DCs can overcome gene deletion if the deleted gene is expressed by neighboring cells. Surprisingly, we also find that the mechanism of material transfer does not resemble known mechanisms of antigen uptake, is dependent on extra- and intracellular calcium, PI3K, and scavenger receptors, and mediates a majority of material transfer to DCs. We term this novel process intracellular monitoring, and find that it is specific to DCs, but occurs in all murine DC subsets tested, as well as in human DCs. Transferred material is successfully presented and cross presented on MHC-II and MHC-I, and occurs between allogeneic donor and acceptors cells-implicating this widespread and unique process in immunosurveillance and organ transplantation.

PERK signaling through C/EBPδ contributes to ER stress-induced expression of immunomodulatory and tumor promoting chemokines by cancer cells. Cell Death Dis 2021; 12:1038. [PMID: 34725321 PMCID: PMC8560861 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-021-04318-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2021] [Revised: 10/07/2021] [Accepted: 10/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Cancer cells experience endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress due to activated oncogenes and conditions of nutrient deprivation and hypoxia. The ensuing unfolded protein response (UPR) is executed by ATF6, IRE1 and PERK pathways. Adaptation to mild ER stress promotes tumor cell survival and aggressiveness. Unmitigated ER stress, however, will result in cell death and is a potential avenue for cancer therapies. Because of this yin-yang nature of ER stress, it is imperative that we fully understand the mechanisms and dynamics of the UPR and its contribution to the complexity of tumor biology. The PERK pathway inhibits global protein synthesis while allowing translation of specific mRNAs, such as the ATF4 transcription factor. Using thapsigargin and tunicamycin to induce acute ER stress, we identified the transcription factor C/EBPδ (CEBPD) as a mediator of PERK signaling to secretion of tumor promoting chemokines. In melanoma and breast cancer cell lines, PERK mediated early induction of C/EBPδ through ATF4-independent pathways that involved at least in part Janus kinases and the STAT3 transcription factor. Transcriptional profiling revealed that C/EBPδ contributed to 20% of thapsigargin response genes including chaperones, components of ER-associated degradation, and apoptosis inhibitors. In addition, C/EBPδ supported the expression of the chemokines CXCL8 (IL-8) and CCL20, which are known for their tumor promoting and immunosuppressive properties. With a paradigm of short-term exposure to thapsigargin, which was sufficient to trigger prolonged activation of the UPR in cancer cells, we found that conditioned media from such cells induced cytokine expression in myeloid cells. In addition, activation of the CXCL8 receptor CXCR1 during thapsigargin exposure supported subsequent sphere formation by cancer cells. Taken together, these investigations elucidated a novel mechanism of ER stress-induced transmissible signals in tumor cells that may be particularly relevant in the context of pharmacological interventions.

Abstract
Simple Summary Overexpressed ErbB2/HER2 receptor drives up to a quarter of breast cancers. One aspect of ErbB2 biology that is poorly understood is how it reaches the cell surface following biosynthesis in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Here, the authors show that the CHIP (C-terminus of HSC70-Interacting protein)/STUB1 (STIP1-homologous U-Box containing protein 1) protein targets the newly synthesized ErbB2 for ubiquitin/proteasome-dependent degradation in the ER and Golgi, identifying a novel mechanism that negatively regulates cell surface expression of ErbB2. These findings provide one explanation for frequent loss of CHIP expression is ErbB2-overexpressing breast cancers. The authors further show that ErbB2-overexpressing breast cancer cells with low CHIP expression exhibit higher ER stress inducibility, and ER stress-inducing anticancer drug Bortezomib synergizes with ErbB2-targeted humanized antibody Trastuzumab to inhibit cancer cell proliferation. These new insights suggest that reduced CHIP expression may specify ErbB2-overexpressing breast cancers suitable for combined treatment with Trastuzumab and ER stress inducing agents. Abstract Overexpression of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family member ErbB2 (HER2) drives oncogenesis in up to 25% of invasive breast cancers. ErbB2 expression at the cell surface is required for oncogenesis but mechanisms that ensure the optimal cell surface display of overexpressed ErbB2 following its biosynthesis in the endoplasmic reticulum are poorly understood. ErbB2 is dependent on continuous association with HSP90 molecular chaperone for its stability and function as an oncogenic driver. Here, we use knockdown and overexpression studies to show that the HSP90/HSC70-interacting negative co-chaperone CHIP (C-terminus of HSC70-Interacting protein)/STUB1 (STIP1-homologous U-Box containing protein 1) targets the newly synthesized, HSP90/HSC70-associated, ErbB2 for ubiquitin/proteasome-dependent degradation in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi, thus identifying a novel mechanism that negatively regulates cell surface ErbB2 levels in breast cancer cells, consistent with frequent loss of CHIP expression previously reported in ErbB2-overexpressing breast cancers. ErbB2-overexpressing breast cancer cells with low CHIP expression exhibited higher endoplasmic reticulum stress inducibility. Accordingly, the endoplasmic reticulum stress-inducing anticancer drug Bortezomib combined with ErbB2-targeted humanized antibody Trastuzumab showed synergistic inhibition of ErbB2-overexpressing breast cancer cell proliferation. Our findings reveal new insights into mechanisms that control the surface expression of overexpressed ErbB2 and suggest that reduced CHIP expression may specify ErbB2-overexpressing breast cancers suitable for combined treatment with Trastuzumab and ER stress inducing agents.

Abstract
Necrosis of infected macrophages constitutes a critical pathogenetic event in tuberculosis by releasing mycobacteria into the growth-permissive extracellular environment. In zebrafish infected with Mycobacterium marinum or Mycobacterium tuberculosis, excess tumor necrosis factor triggers programmed necrosis of infected macrophages through the production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the participation of cyclophilin D, a component of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore. Here, we show that this necrosis pathway is not mitochondrion-intrinsic but results from an inter-organellar circuit initiating and culminating in the mitochondrion. Mitochondrial ROS induce production of lysosomal ceramide that ultimately activates the cytosolic protein BAX. BAX promotes calcium flow from the endoplasmic reticulum into the mitochondrion through ryanodine receptors, and the resultant mitochondrial calcium overload triggers cyclophilin-D-mediated necrosis. We identify ryanodine receptors and plasma membrane L-type calcium channels as druggable targets to intercept mitochondrial calcium overload and necrosis of mycobacterium-infected zebrafish and human macrophages. TNF induces mitochondrial ROS to cause necrosis of mycobacterium-infected macrophages Mitochondrial ROS activate lysosomal enzymes that lead to BAX activation BAX activates ER ryanodine receptors to cause Ca2+ flow into the mitochondrion Drugs preventing mitochondrial Ca2+ overload prevent pathogenic macrophage necrosis in TB

PLoS Comput Biol 2017; 13:e1005686. [PMID: 28749940 PMCID: PMC5549769 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1005686] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2017] [Revised: 08/08/2017] [Accepted: 07/16/2017] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Plasma insulin oscillations are known to have physiological importance in the regulation of blood glucose. In insulin-secreting β-cells of pancreatic islets, K(ATP) channels play a key role in regulating glucose-dependent insulin secretion. In addition, they convey oscillations in cellular metabolism to the membrane by sensing adenine nucleotides, and are thus instrumental in mediating pulsatile insulin secretion. Blocking K(ATP) channels pharmacologically depolarizes the β-cell plasma membrane and terminates islet oscillations. Surprisingly, when K(ATP) channels are genetically knocked out, oscillations in islet activity persist, and relatively normal blood glucose levels are maintained. Compensation must therefore occur to overcome the loss of K(ATP) channels in K(ATP) knockout mice. In a companion study, we demonstrated a substantial increase in Kir2.1 protein occurs in β-cells lacking K(ATP) because of SUR1 deletion. In this report, we demonstrate that β-cells of SUR1 null islets have an upregulated inward rectifying K+ current that helps to compensate for the loss of K(ATP) channels. This current is likely due to the increased expression of Kir2.1 channels. We used mathematical modeling to determine whether an ionic current having the biophysical characteristics of Kir2.1 is capable of rescuing oscillations that are similar in period to those of wild-type islets. By experimentally testing a key model prediction we suggest that Kir2.1 current upregulation is a likely mechanism for rescuing the oscillations seen in islets from mice deficient in K(ATP) channels. Pulsatile insulin secretion is important for the proper regulation of blood glucose, and disruption of this pulsatility is a hallmark of type II diabetes. An ion channel was discovered more than three decades ago that conveys the metabolic state of insulin-secreting β-cells to the plasma membrane because it is blocked by ATP and opened by ADP, and thereby controls the activity of these electrically-excitable cells on a rapid time scale according to the prevailing blood glucose level. In addition to setting the appropriate level of insulin secretion, K(ATP) channels play a key role in generating the oscillations in cellular activity that underlie insulin pulsatility. It is therefore surprising that oscillations in activity persist in islets in which the K(ATP) channels are genetically knocked out. In this combined modeling and experimental study, we demonstrate that the role played by K(ATP) current in wild-type β-cells can be taken over by an inward-rectifying K+ current which, we show here, is upregulated in β-cells from SUR1 knockout mice. This result helps to resolve a mystery in the field that has remained elusive for more than a decade, since the first studies showing oscillations in SUR1-/- islets.

Abstract
In this work we have shown that NFAT1 transcription factor is involved in the regulation of CacyBP/SIP expression. We have demonstrated, by applying Western blot, RT-PCR and luciferase assay that the level of CacyBP/SIP increases upon NFAT1 overexpression. Moreover, inhibition or stimulation of NFAT transcriptional activity exerts a corresponding effect on the expression of CacyBP/SIP gene. Furthermore, EMSA and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay have shown that NFAT1 binds to its specific binding sites within the CacyBP/SIP gene. In conclusion, our data have shown for the first time the regulation of CacyBP/SIP gene expression by NFAT1. Since NFAT transcription factors are involved in processes related to immune response, these results indicate potential involvement of CacyBP/SIP in the immune system.

Abstract
Sesquiterpene lactones are of considerable interest due to their potent bioactivities, including cancer cell cytotoxicity and antineoplastic efficacy in in vivo studies. Among these compounds, artesunate, dimethylaminoparthenolide, and L12ADT peptide prodrug, a derivative of thapsigargin, are being evaluated in the current cancer clinical or preclinical trials. Based on the structures of several antitumor sesquiterpene lactones, a number of analogues showing greater potency have been either isolated as natural products or partially synthesized, and some potential anticancer agents that have emerged from this group of lead compounds have been investigated extensively. The present review focuses on artemisinin, parthenolide, thapsigargin, and their naturally occurring or synthetic analogues showing potential anticancer activity. This provides an overview of the advances in the development of these types of sesquiterpene lactones as potential anticancer agents, including their structural characterization, synthesis and synthetic modification, and antitumor potential, with the mechanism of action and structure-activity relationships also discussed. It is hoped that this will be helpful in stimulating the further interest in developing sesquiterpene lactones and their derivatives as new anticancer agents.

Abstract
Shikonin, an anti-inflammatory compound of “Shikon”, inhibits the neutrophil superoxide (O2•−) generation by NADPH oxidase 2 (Nox2); however, the mechanisms of how shikonin affects Nox2 activity remained unclear. We aimed to elucidate the relationship between the inhibition of Nox2 activity and influences on intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) by shikonin. For this purpose, we used a simultaneous monitoring system for detecting changes in [Ca2+]i (by fluorescence) and O2•− generation (by chemiluminescence) and evaluated the effects of shikonin on neutrophil-like HL-60 cells stimulated with N-formyl-l-methionyl-l-leucyl-l-phenylalanine (fMLP). Since fMLP activates Nox2 by elevation in [Ca2+]i via fluxes such as inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-induced Ca2+ release (IICR) and store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE), we also evaluated the effects of shikonin on IICR and SOCE. Shikonin dose-dependently inhibited the fMLP-induced elevation in [Ca2+]i and O2•− generation (IC50 values of 1.45 and 1.12 µM, respectively) in a synchronized manner. Analyses of specific Ca2+ fluxes showed that shikonin inhibits IICR and IICR-linked O2•− generation (IC50 values: 0.28 and 0.31 µM for [Ca2+]i and O2•−, respectively), as well as SOCE and SOCE-linked O2•− generation (IC50 values: 0.39 and 0.25 µM for [Ca2+]i and O2•−, respectively). These results suggested that shikonin inhibits the O2•− generation by Nox2 in fMLP-stimulated neutrophils by targeting Ca2+ fluxes such as IICR and SOCE.

Abstract
The difference in reactivity of the hexaoxygenated natural product thapsigargin (1) and the pentaoxygenated nortrilobolide (3) was compared in order to develop a chemo- and regioselective method for the conversion of nortrilobolide (3) into the natural product 2-acetoxytrilobolide (4). For the first time, a stereoselective synthesis of 2-acetoxytrilobolide (4) is described, which involves two key reactions: the first chemical step was a one-pot substitution-oxidation reaction of an allylic ester into its corresponding α,β-unsaturated ketone. The second process consisted of a stereoselective α'-acyloxylation of the key intermediate α,β-unsaturated ketone to afford its corresponding acetoxyketone, which was converted into 2-acetoxytrilobolide (4) in a few steps. This innovative approach would allow the synthesis of a broad library of novel and valuable penta- and hexaoxygenated guaianolides as potential anticancer agents.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is caused by the accumulation of misfolded or unfolded proteins in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum. CCAAT/enhancer binding proteins are one of the cellular proteins whose expression is upregulated during ER stress. Previously, we have identified C/EBPbeta isoforms, especially LIP, as a negative regulator of polyomavirus JC (JCV), the causative agent of the demyelinating disease progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). Here, we show that the induction of ER stress by thapsigargin increase the expression of endogenous LIP and the degradation of JCV T-antigen in a JCV-transgenic mouse tumor cell line. Our results also revealed that overexpression of LIP significantly reduced the level of T-Ag and this effect is reversed upon siRNA-mediated silencing of LIP. Immunoprecipitation/Western blot experiments indicated that LIP interacts with T-antigen directly. Treatment of cells that overexpress LIP with MG115, a proteasome inhibitor, partially rescued LIP-mediated degradation of T-antigen. Our observations point to a role of LIP in ER stress regulation of T-antigen stability and may open a new avenue to study host-virus interaction during ER stress.

Abstract
Intrinsic and acquired chemoresistance are frequent causes of cancer eradication failure. Thus, long-term cis-diaminedichloroplatine(II) (CDDP) or cisplatin treatment is known to promote tumor cell resistance to apoptosis induction via multiple mechanisms involving gene expression modulation of oncogenes, tumor suppressors and blockade of pro-apoptotic mitochondrial membrane permeabilization. Here, we demonstrate that CDDP-resistant non-small lung cancer cells undergo profound remodeling of their endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteome (>80 proteins identified by proteomics) and exhibit a dramatic overexpression of two protein disulfide isomerases, PDIA4 and PDIA6, without any alteration in ER-cytosol Ca(2+) fluxes. Using pharmacological and genetic inhibition, we show that inactivation of both proteins directly stimulates CDDP-induced cell death by different cellular signaling pathways. PDIA4 inactivation restores a classical mitochondrial apoptosis pathway, while knockdown of PDIA6 favors a non-canonical cell death pathway sharing some necroptosis features. Overexpression of both proteins has also been found in lung adenocarcinoma patients, suggesting a clinical importance of these proteins in chemoresistance.

Abstract
Intracellular NAD(+) levels ([NAD(+)](i)) are important in regulating human T lymphocyte survival, cytokine secretion, and the capacity to respond to antigenic stimuli. NAD(+)-derived Ca(2+)-mobilizing second messengers, produced by CD38, play a pivotal role in T cell activation. Here we demonstrate that [NAD(+)](i) modifications in T lymphocytes affect intracellular Ca(2+) homeostasis both in terms of mitogen-induced [Ca(2+)](i) increase and of endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) store replenishment. Lowering [NAD(+)](i) by FK866-mediated nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase inhibition decreased the mitogen-induced [Ca(2+)](i) rise in Jurkat cells and in activated T lymphocytes. Accordingly, the Ca(2+) content of thapsigargin-sensitive Ca(2+) stores was greatly reduced in these cells in the presence of FK866. When NAD(+) levels were increased by supplementing peripheral blood lymphocytes with the NAD(+) precursors nicotinamide, nicotinic acid, or nicotinamide mononucleotide, the Ca(2+) content of thapsigargin-sensitive Ca(2+) stores as well as cell responsiveness to mitogens in terms of [Ca(2+)](i) elevation were up-regulated. The use of specific siRNA showed that the changes of Ca(2+) homeostasis induced by NAD(+) precursors are mediated by CD38 and the consequent ADPR-mediated TRPM2 gating. Finally, the presence of NAD(+) precursors up-regulated important T cell functions, such as proliferation and IL-2 release in response to mitogens.

Abstract
Studies of ion pumps, such as ATP synthetase and Ca(2+)-ATPase, have a long history. The crystal structures of several kinds of ion pump have been resolved, and provide static pictures of mechanisms of ion transport. In this study, using fast-scanning atomic force microscopy, we have visualized conformational changes in the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA) in real time at the single-molecule level. The analyses of individual SERCA molecules in the presence of both ATP and free Ca(2+) revealed up-down structural changes corresponding to the Albers-Post scheme. This fluctuation was strongly affected by the ATP and Ca(2+) concentrations, and was prevented by an inhibitor, thapsigargin. Interestingly, at a physiological ATP concentrations, the up-down motion disappeared completely. These results indicate that SERCA does not transit through the shortest structure, and has a catalytic pathway different from the ordinary Albers-Post scheme under physiological conditions.

Abstract
Pannexin 3 functions as an essential protein for Ca2+ and ATP transport and cell–cell communication during osteoblast differentiation The pannexin proteins represent a new gap junction family. However, the cellular functions of pannexins remain largely unknown. Here, we demonstrate that pannexin 3 (Panx3) promotes differentiation of osteoblasts and ex vivo growth of metatarsals. Panx3 expression was induced during osteogenic differentiation of C2C12 cells and primary calvarial cells, and suppression of this endogenous expression inhibited differentiation. Panx3 functioned as a unique Ca2+ channel in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which was activated by purinergic receptor/phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling, followed by activation of calmodulin signaling for differentiation. Panx3 also formed hemichannels that allowed release of ATP into the extracellular space and activation of purinergic receptors with the subsequent activation of PI3K–Akt signaling. Panx3 also formed gap junctions and propagated Ca2+ waves between cells. Blocking the Panx3 Ca2+ channel and gap junction activities inhibited osteoblast differentiation. Thus, Panx3 appears to be a new regulator that promotes osteoblast differentiation by functioning as an ER Ca2+ channel and a hemichannel, and by forming gap junctions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exposure to cadmium is associated with human pathologies and altered gene expression. The molecular mechanisms by which cadmium affects transcription remain unclear. It has been proposed that cadmium activates transcription by altering intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) and disrupting calcium-mediated intracellular signaling processes. This hypothesis is based on several studies that may be technically problematic; including the use of BAPTA chelators, BAPTA-based fluorescent sensors, and cytotoxic concentrations of metal. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDING In the present report, the effects of cadmium on [Ca(2+)](i) under non-cytotoxic and cytotoxic conditions was monitored using the protein-based calcium sensor yellow cameleon (YC3.60), which was stably expressed in HEK293 cells. In HEK293 constitutively expressing YC3.60, this calcium sensor was found to be insensitive to cadmium. Exposing HEK293::YC3.60 cells to non-cytotoxic cadmium concentrations was sufficient to induce transcription of cadmium-responsive genes but did not affect [Ca(2+)](i) mobilization or increase steady-state mRNA levels of calcium-responsive genes. In contrast, exposure to cytotoxic concentrations of cadmium significantly reduced intracellular calcium stores and altered calcium-responsive gene expression. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE These data indicate that at low levels, cadmium induces transcription independently of intracellular calcium mobilization. The results also support a model whereby cytotoxic levels of cadmium activate calcium-responsive transcription as a general response to metal-induced intracellular damage and not via a specific mechanism. Thus, the modulation of intracellular calcium may not be a primary mechanism by which cadmium regulates transcription.

Abstract
T cell receptor (TCR) ligation induces increased diacylglycerol and Ca(2+) levels in T cells, and both secondary messengers are crucial for TCR-induced nuclear factor of activated T cells (NF-AT) and NF-κB signaling pathways. One prominent calcium-dependent enzyme involved in the regulation of NF-AT and NF-κB signaling pathways is the protein phosphatase calcineurin. However, in contrast to NF-AT, which is directly dephosphorylated by calcineurin, the molecular basis of the calcium-calcineurin dependence of the TCR-induced NF-κB activity remains largely unknown. Here, we demonstrate that calcineurin regulates TCR-induced NF-κB activity by controlling the formation of a protein complex composed of Carma1, Bcl10, and Malt1 (CBM complex). For instance, increased calcium levels induced by ionomycin or thapsigargin augmented the phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate-induced formation of the CBM complex and activation of NF-κB, whereas removal of calcium by the calcium chelator EGTA-acetoxymethyl ester (AM) attenuated both processes. Furthermore, inhibition of the calcium-dependent phosphatase calcineurin with the immunosuppressive agent cyclosporin A (CsA) or FK506 as well as siRNA-mediated knockdown of calcineurin A strongly affected the PMA + ionomycin- or anti-CD3 + CD28-induced CBM complex assembly. Mechanistically, the positive effect of calcineurin on the CBM complex formation seems to be linked to a dephosphorylation of Bcl10. For instance, Bcl10 was found to be hyperphosphorylated in Jurkat T cells upon treatment with CsA or EGTA-AM, and calcineurin dephosphorylated Bcl10 in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, we show here that calcineurin A interacts with the CBM complex. In summary, the evidence provided here argues for a previously unanticipated role of calcineurin in CBM complex formation as a molecular basis of the inhibitory function of CsA or FK506 on TCR-induced NF-κB activity.

Abstract
Curcumin is considered a pharmacologically safe agent that may be useful in cancer chemoprevention and therapy. Here, we show for the first time that curcumin effectively induces paraptosis in malignant breast cancer cell lines, including MDA-MB-435S, MDA-MB-231, and Hs578T cells, by promoting vacuolation that results from swelling and fusion of mitochondria and/or the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Inhibition of protein synthesis by cycloheximide blocked curcumin-induced vacuolation and subsequent cell death, indicating that protein synthesis is required for this process. The levels of AIP-1/Alix protein, a known inhibitor protein of paraptosis, were progressively downregulated in curcumin-treated malignant breast cancer cells, and AIP-1/Alix overexpression attenuated curcumin-induced death in these cells. ERK2 and JNK activation were positively associated with curcumin-induced cell death. Mitochondrial superoxide was shown to act as a critical early signal in curcumin-induced paraptosis, whereas proteasomal dysfunction was mainly responsible for the paraptotic changes associated with ER dilation. Notably, curcumin-induced paraptotic events were not observed in normal breast cells, including mammary epithelial cells and MCF-10A cells. Taken together, our findings on curcumin-induced paraptosis may provide novel insights into the mechanisms underlying the selective anti-cancer effects of curcumin against malignant cancer cells.

Abstract
The low molecular weight compound PRIMA-1(MET) reactivates mutant p53 and triggers mutant p53-dependent apoptosis in human tumor cells. We investigated the effect of PRIMA-1(MET) on global gene expression using microarray analysis of Saos-2 cells expressing His273 mutant p53 and parental p53 null Saos-2 cells. PRIMA-1(MET) affected transcription of a significantly larger number of genes in the mutant p53-expressing cells compared to the p53 null cells. Genes affected by PRIMA-1(MET) in a mutant p53-dependent manner include the cell-cycle regulators GADD45B and 14-3-3gamma and the pro-apoptotic Noxa. Several of the affected genes are known p53 target genes and/or contain p53 DNA-binding motifs. We also found mutant p53-dependent disruption of the cytoskeleton, as well as transcriptional activation of the XBP1 gene and cleavage of its mRNA, a marker for endoplasmic reticulum stress. Our data show that PRIMA-1(MET) induces apoptosis through multiple transcription-dependent and -independent pathways. Such integral engagement of multiple pathways leading to apoptosis is consistent with restoration of wild-type properties to mutant p53 and is likely to reduce the risk of drug resistance development in clinical applications of PRIMA-1(MET).

Abstract
We recently reported that oxidized LDL (oxLDL) induces an oscillatory increase in intracellular calcium ([Ca(2+)](i)) levels in macrophages. Furthermore, we have shown that these [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations mediate oxLDL's ability to inhibit macrophage apoptosis in response to growth factor deprivation. However, the signal transduction pathways by which oxLDL induces [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations have not been elucidated. In this study, we show that these oscillations are mediated in part by intracellular mechanisms, as depleting extracellular Ca(2+) did not completely abolish the effect. Inhibiting sarco-endoplasmic reticulum ATPase (SERCA) completely blocked [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations, suggesting a role for Ca(2+) reuptake by the ER. The addition of oxLDL resulted in an almost immediate activation of sphingosine kinase (SK), which can increase sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) levels by phosphorylating sphingosine. Moreover, S1P was shown to be as effective as oxLDL in blocking macrophage apoptosis and producing [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations. This suggests that the mechanism in which oxLDL generates [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations may be 1) activation of SK, 2) SK-mediated increase in S1P levels, 3) S1P-mediated Ca(2+) release from intracellular stores, and 4) SERCA-mediated Ca(2+) reuptake back into the ER.

Abstract
Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) is the most frequent inherited neuromuscular disorder, affecting 1 person in 2500. CMT1A, the most common form of CMT, is usually caused by a duplication of chromosome 17p11.2, containing the PMP22 (peripheral myelin protein-22) gene; overexpression of PMP22 in Schwann cells (SC) is believed to cause demyelination, although the underlying pathogenetic mechanisms remain unclear. Here we report an abnormally high basal concentration of intracellular calcium ([Ca(2+)](i)) in SC from CMT1A rats. By the use of specific pharmacological inhibitors and through down-regulation of expression by small interfering RNA, we demonstrate that the high [Ca(2+)](i) is caused by a PMP22-related overexpression of the P2X7 purinoceptor/channel leading to influx of extracellular Ca(2+) into CMT1A SC. Correction of the altered [Ca(2+)](i) in CMT1A SC by small interfering RNA or with pharmacological inhibitors of P2X7 restores functional parameters of SC (migration and release of ciliary neurotrophic factor), which are typically defective in CMT1A SC. More significantly, stable down-regulation of the expression of P2X7 restores myelination in co-cultures of CMT1A SC with dorsal root ganglion sensory neurons. These results establish a pathogenetic link between high [Ca(2+)](i) and impaired SC function in CMT1A and identify overexpression of P2X7 as the molecular mechanism underlying both abnormalities. The development of P2X7 inhibitors is expected to provide a new therapeutic strategy for treatment of CMT1A neuropathy.

Abstract
Abscisic acid (ABA) is a phytohormone regulating important functions in higher plants, notably responses to abiotic stress. Recently, chemical or physical stimulation of human granulocytes was shown to induce production and release of endogenous ABA, which activates specific cell functions. Here we provide evidence that ABA stimulates several functional activities of the murine microglial cell line N9 (NO and tumor necrosis factor-alpha production, cell migration) through the second messenger cyclic ADP-ribose and an increase of intracellular calcium. ABA production and release occur in N9 cells stimulated with bacterial lipopolysaccharide, phorbol myristate acetate, the chemoattractant peptide f-MLP, or beta-amyloid, the primary plaque component in Alzheimer disease. Finally, ABA priming stimulates N9 cell migration toward beta-amyloid. These results indicate that ABA is a pro-inflammatory hormone inducing autocrine microglial activation, potentially representing a new target for anti-inflammatory therapies aimed at limiting microglia-induced tissue damage in the central nervous system.

Abstract
Depending on the number of phosphate groups, diadenosine polyphosphates (ApnA, Ap3A, Ap4A, Ap5A and Ap6A) differ in properties such as proliferation, apoptosis, vasoconstriction and vasodilatation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Possible signaling pathways leading to effects such as proliferation are still unknown. This study examined the proliferative effects of diadenosine polyphosphates on VSMCs and their intracellular pathways. Proliferation of VSMCs was measured by the cell count and [(3)H] thymidine incorporation. Phosphorylation of the MAP kinases ERK1/2 was determined by Western blotting. Single-cell [Ca(2+)](i) measurements were done to determine the influence of [Ca(2+)](i) on intracellular signaling. Stress fiber formation was assessed by fluorescence microscopy to detect an influence of G alpha(12). Ap3A and Ap4A, but not Ap5A or Ap6A, were shown to increase proliferation of VSMCs by activating P2Y receptors, which leads to stimulation of the Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK1/2 cascade. Ap3A- and Ap4A-induced activation of the MAP kinases ERK1/2 was dependent on a signaling pathway that included the EGF receptor, PKC, PLCbeta and the increase of [Ca(2+)](i). In conclusion, Ap3A and Ap4A, but not Ap5A or Ap6A, induce proliferation of VSMCs by a signaling pathway that begins with activation of P2Y receptors and leads to stimulation of the MAP kinases ERK1/2.

Abstract
The depletion of ER Ca2+ stores, following the release of Ca2+ during intracellular signalling, triggers the Ca2+ entry across the plasma membrane known as store-operated calcium entry (SOCE). We show here that brief, local [Ca2+]i increases (motes) in the thin dendrites of cultured retinal amacrine cells derived from chick embryos represent the Ca2+ entry events of SOCE and are initiated by sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), a sphingolipid with multiple cellular signalling roles. Externally applied S1P elicits motes but not through a G protein-coupled membrane receptor. The endogenous precursor to S1P, sphingosine, also elicits motes but its action is suppressed by dimethylsphingosine (DMS), an inhibitor of sphingosine phosphorylation. DMS also suppresses motes induced by store depletion and retards the refilling of depleted stores. These effects are reversed by exogenously applied S1P. In these neurons formation of S1P is a step in the SOCE pathway that promotes Ca2+ entry in the form of motes.

Abstract
Nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP+) is an intracellular second messenger releasing Ca2+ from intracellular stores in different cell types. In addition, it is also active in triggering [Ca2+](i) increase when applied extracellularly and various underlying mechanisms have been proposed. Here, we used hP2Y(11)-transfected 1321N1 astrocytoma cells to unequivocally establish whether extracellular NAADP+ is an agonist of the P2Y(11) receptor, as previously reported for beta-NAD+ [I. Moreschi, S. Bruzzone, R.A. Nicholas, et al., Extracellular NAD+ is an agonist of the human P2Y11 purinergic receptor in human granulocytes, J. Biol. Chem. 281 (2006) 31419-31429]. Extracellular NAADP+ triggered a concentration-dependent two-step elevation of [Ca2+](i) in 1321N1-hP2Y(11) cells, but not in wild-type 1321N1 cells, secondary to the intracellular production of IP(3), cAMP and cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR). Specifically, the transient [Ca2+](i) rise proved to be related to IP(3) overproduction and to consequent Ca2+ mobilization, while the sustained [Ca2+](i) elevation was caused by the cAMP/ADP-ribosyl cyclase (ADPRC)/cADPR signalling cascade and by influx of extracellular Ca2+. In human granulocytes, endogenous P2Y(11) proved to be responsible for the NAADP+-induced cell activation (as demonstrated by the use of NF157, a selective and potent inhibitor of P2Y(11)), unveiling a role of NAADP+ as a pro-inflammatory cytokine. In conclusion, we provide unequivocal evidence for the activation of a member of the P2Y receptor subfamily by NAADP+.

Abstract
The accumulation of Ca2+ in the mitochondrial matrix can stimulate oxidative phosphorylation, but can also, at high Ca2+ concentrations, transmit and amplify an apoptotic signal. Here, we characterized the capacity of physiological stimuli (for example, histamine and inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate) and inducers of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress (for example, A23187, thapsigargin and tunicamycin) to release Ca2+ from ER stores, induce mitochondrial Ca2+ accumulation, and trigger cell death in human cervix and colon carcinoma cell lines. Sustained Ca2+ accumulation in the mitochondrial matrix induced by ER stress triggered signs of proapoptotic mitochondrial alteration, namely permeability transition, dissipation of the electrochemical potential, matrix swelling, relocalization of Bax to mitochondria and the release of cytochrome c and apoptosis-inducing factor from mitochondria. In contrast, rapid and transient accumulation of Ca2+ induced by physiological stimuli failed to promote mitochondrial permeability transition and to affect cell viability. The specificity of this apoptosis pathway was validated in cells using a panel of pharmacological agents that chelate Ca2+ (BAPTA-AM) or inhibit inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP(3)R; 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate), voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) (4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonate, NADH), the permeability transition pore (cyclosporin A and bongkrekic acid), caspases (z-VAD-fmk) and protein synthesis (cycloheximide). Finally, we designed an original cell-free system in which we confronted purified mitochondria and ER vesicles, and identified IP(3)R, VDAC and the permeability transition pore as key proteins in the ER-triggered proapoptotic mitochondrial membrane permeabilization process.

Abstract
[reaction: see text] The enantioselective synthesis of a 7,11-dihydroxyguaianolide bearing the stereochemistry present in thapsigargin, a potent and selective inhibitor of the Ca(2+) SERCA-ATPase pumps, is described. Starting from (+)-dihydrocarvone, the synthesis presents two key steps. The first one involves the photochemical rearrangement of a gamma,delta-unsaturated ketone eudesmane into the corresponding guaiane. The second step consists of the regioselective oxidation of an unprotected tetrahydroxylated ketone to provide a dihydroxylactone with the required stereochemistry.

Abstract
We report that two fractions containing proteins from rat hepatocyte nuclei, obtained by nondenaturing gel electrophoresis, were able to bind iron and ATP, and to hydrolyze ATP. Electroelution of these two active fractions followed by SDS-PAGE analysis showed an identical protein pattern, each one containing four proteins in a range of 62-80 kDa. Phosphorylated protein bands were also detected in acid gel and disappeared after treatment with hydroxylamine/acetate or KOH, and upon chasing with cold ATP. A proteoliposome system, made by the incorporation of these partially purified protein fractions into phosphatidylcholine vesicles, carried out Fe(3+)-citrate uptake in a Mg(2+)-ATP-dependent way; Fe(3+) accumulation increased with time reaching a plateau in 30 min. Iron uptake was not supported by AMP-PNP, was partially inhibited by orthovanadate and was not affected by a mix of specific inhibitors of known ATPases. These results support our previous hypothesis that a putative nuclear membrane Fe(3+)-ATPase is involved in nuclear iron homeostasis.

Abstract
Reactive species and perturbation of the redox balance have been implicated in the pathogenesis of many viral diseases, including hepatitis C. Previously, we made a surprising discovery that concentrations of H(2)O(2) that are nontoxic to host cells disrupted the hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication complex (RC) in Huh7 human hepatoma cells in a manner that suggested signaling. Here, we show that H(2)O(2) and interferon-gamma have comparable effects on the HCV subgenomic and genomic RNA replication in Huh7 cells. H(2)O(2) induced a gradual rise in the intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)). Both rapid and sustained suppression of HCV RNA replication by H(2)O(2) depended on this calcium elevation. The peroxide-induced [Ca(2+)](i) elevation was independent of extracellular calcium and derived, at least in part, from the endoplasmic reticulum. Likewise, the suppression of the HCV RC by H(2)O(2) was independent of extracellular calcium but required an intracellular calcium source. Other agents that elevated [Ca(2+)](i) could also suppress the HCV RC, suggesting that calcium elevation might be sufficient to suppress HCV RNA replication. In conclusion, oxidants may modulate the HCV RC through calcium. Effects on the infectivity and the morphogenesis of HCV remain to be determined. These findings suggest possible regulatory roles for redox and calcium signaling during viral infections.

Abstract
Interactions between the transmembrane domains of phospholamban (PLB) and the cardiac Ca2+ pump (SERCA2a) have been investigated by chemical cross-linking. Specifically, C-terminal, transmembrane residues 45-52 of PLB were individually mutated to Cys, then cross-linked to V89C in the M2 helix of SERCA2a with the thiol-specific cross-linking reagents Cu2+-phenanthroline, dibromobimane, and bismaleimidohexane. V49C-, M50C-, and L52C-PLB all cross-linked strongly to V89C-SERCA2a, coupling to 70-100% of SERCA2a molecules. Residues 45-48 and 51 of PLB also cross-linked to V89C of SERCA2a, but more weakly. Evidence for the mechanism of PLB regulation of SERCA2a was provided by the conformational dependence of cross-linking. In particular, the required absence of Ca2+ for cross-linking implicated the E2 conformation of SERCA2a, and its enhancement by ATP confirmed E2 x ATP as the conformation with the highest affinity for PLB. In contrast, E2 phosphorylated with inorganic phosphate (E2P) and E2 inhibited by thapsigargin (E2 x TG) both failed to cross-link to PLB. These results with transmembrane PLB residues are completely consistent with cytoplasmic PLB residues studied previously, suggesting that the dissociation of PLB from the Ca2+ pump is complete, not partial, when the pump binds Ca2+ (E1 x Ca2) or adopts the E2P or E2 x TG conformations. V49C of PLB cross-linked to 100% of SERCA2a molecules, suggesting that this residue might have functional importance for regulation. Indeed, we found that mutation of Val49 to smaller side-chained residues V49A or V49G augmented PLB inhibition, whereas mutation to the larger hydrophobic residue, V49L, prevented PLB inhibition. A model for the interaction of PLB with SERCA2a is presented, showing that Val49 fits into a constriction at the lumenal end of the M2 helix of SERCA, possibly controlling access of PLB to its binding site on SERCA.

Abstract
The human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) encodes an ion channel subunit underlying IKr, a potassium current required for the normal repolarization of ventricular cells in the human heart. Mutations in hERG cause long QT syndrome (LQTS) by disrupting IKr, increasing cardiac excitability and, in some cases, triggering catastrophic torsades de pointes arrhythmias and sudden death. More than 200 putative disease-causing mutations in hERG have been identified in affected families to date, but the mechanisms by which these mutations cause disease are not well understood. Of the mutations studied, most disrupt protein maturation and reduce the numbers of hERG channels at the membrane. Some trafficking-defective mutants can be rescued by pharmacological agents or temperature. Here we review evidence for rescue of mutant hERG subunits expressed in heterologous systems and discuss the potential for therapeutic approaches to correcting IKr defects associated with LQTS.

Abstract
Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion is associated with transients of intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) in the pancreatic beta-cell. We tested the hypothesis that inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] [Ca2+]i release is incorporated in glucose-induced [Ca2+]i oscillations in mouse islets and MIN6 cells. We found that depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores with thapsigargin increased the oscillation frequency by twofold and inhibited the slow recovery phase of [Ca2+]i oscillations. We employed a pleckstrin homology domain-containing fluorescent biosensor, phospholipase C partial differential pleckstrin homology domain-enhanced green fluorescent protein, to visualize Ins(1,4,5)P3 dynamics in insulin-secreting MIN6 cells and mouse islets in real time using a video-rate confocal system. In both types of cells, stimulation with carbamoylcholine (CCh) and depolarization with KCl results in an increase in Ins(1,4,5)P3 accumulation in the cytoplasm. When stimulated with glucose, the Ins(1,4,5)P3 concentration in the cytoplasm oscillates in parallel with oscillations of [Ca2+]i. Maximal accumulation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 in these oscillations coincides with the peak of [Ca2+]i and tracks changes in frequencies induced by the voltage-gated K+ channel blockade. We show that Ins(1,4,5)P3 release in insulin-secreting cells can be stimulated by depolarization-induced Ca2+ flux. We conclude that Ins(1,4,5)P3 concentration oscillates in parallel with [Ca2+]i in response to glucose stimulation, but it is not the driving force for [Ca2+]i oscillations.

Abstract
The mood stabilizing drug lithium is a highly effective treatment for bipolar disorder. Previous studies in our laboratory found that chronic treatment with the mood stabilizing drug valproate in rat brain increased the expression of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress proteins GRP78, GRP94 and calreticulin. We report here that in primary cultured rat cerebral cortical cells, expression of GRP78, GRP94 and calreticulin are increased not only by valproate, but also by lithium after chronic treatment for 1 week at therapeutically relevant concentrations. However, two other mood stabilizing drugs carbamazepine and lamotrigine had no effect on expression of GRP78, GRP94 or calreticulin. Chronic treatment with lithium for 1 week increased both mRNA and protein levels of ER stress proteins. In contrast to a classic GRP78 inducer thapsigargin, an inhibitor of the ER Ca2+ -ATPase, chronic treatment with lithium or valproate for 1 week modestly increased GRP78 expression in neuronal cells, had no effect on basal intracellular free Ca2+ concentration and does not induce cell death. These results indicate that lithium and valproate may increase expression of GRP78, GRP94 and calreticulin in primary cultured rat cerebral cortical cells without causing cell damage. These results also suggest that the mechanism of GRP78 increase induced by lithium and valproate may be different from that of thapsigargin.

Abstract
The sensitivity of store-operated Ca(2+)-entry to changes in the extra- and intracellular pH (pH(o) and pH(i), respectively) was investigated in SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells. The intracellular Ca(2+)-stores were depleted either with 1 mM carbachol (CCH) or with 2 microM thapsigargin (TG). Extracellular acidification suppressed both the CCH- and TG-mediated Ca(2+)-entry while external alkalinization augmented both the CCH- and the TG-induced Ca(2+)-influx. Mn(2+)-quenching experiments revealed that the rates of Ca(2+)-entry at the thapsigargin- or carbachol-induced plateau were both accelerated at pH(o) 8.2 and slowed down at pH(o) 6.8 with respect to the control at pH(o) 7.4. Alteration of pH(o) between 6.8 and 8.2 did not have any significant prompt effect on pH(i) and changes in pH(i) left the CCH-induced Ca(2+)-entry unaffected. These findings demonstrate that physiologically relevant changes in pH(o) affect the store-operated Ca(2+)-entry in SH-SY5Y cells and suggest that endogenous pH(o) shifts may regulate cell activity in situ via modulating the store-operated Ca(2+)-entry.

Abstract
The sarco/endoplasmic reticulum (SR/ER) is the primary storage and release site of intracellular calcium (Ca2+) in many excitable cells. The SR is a tubular network, which in smooth muscle (SM) cells distributes close to cellular periphery (superficial SR) and in deeper aspects of the cell (deep SR). Recent attention has focused on the regulation of cell function by the superficial SR, which can act as a buffer and also as a regulator of membrane channels and transporters. Ca2+ is released from the SR via two types of ionic channels [ryanodine- and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-gated], whereas accumulation from thecytoplasm occurs exclusively by an energy-dependent sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase pump (SERCA). Within the SR, Ca2+ is bound to various storage proteins. Emerging evidence also suggests that the perinuclear portion of the SR may play an important role in nuclear transcription. In this review, we detail the pharmacology of agents that alter the functions of Ca2+ release channels and of SERCA. We describe their use and selectivity and indicate the concentrations used in investigating various SM preparations. Important aspects of cell regulation and excitation-contractile activity coupling in SM have been uncovered through the use of such activators and inhibitors of processes that determine SR function. Likewise, they were instrumental in the recent finding of an interaction of the SR with other cellular organelles such as mitochondria. Thus, an appreciation of the pharmacology and selectivity of agents that interfere with SR function in SM has greatly assisted in unveiling the multifaceted nature of the SR.
