Abstract
BACKGROUND Pathophysiologic platelet activation leads to thrombo-occlusive diseases such as myocardial infarction or ischemic stroke. Niemann-Pick C1 protein (NPC1) is involved in the regulation of lysosomal lipid trafficking and calcium ion (Ca2+) signaling, and its genetic mutation causes a lysosomal storage disorder. Lipids and Ca2+ are key players in the complex orchestration of platelet activation. OBJECTIVES The present study aimed to determine the impact of NPC1 on Ca2+ mobilization during platelet activation in thrombo-occlusive diseases. METHODS Using MK/platelet-specific knockout mice of Npc1 (Npc1Pf4∆/Pf4∆), ex vivo and in vitro approaches as well as in vivo models of thrombosis, we investigated the effect of Npc1 on platelet function and thrombus formation. RESULTS We showed that Npc1Pf4∆/Pf4∆ platelets display increased sphingosine levels and a locally impaired membrane-associated and SERCA3-dependent Ca2+ mobilisation compared to platelets from wildtype littermates (Npc1lox/lox). Further, we observed decreased platelet. CONCLUSION Our findings highlight that NPC1 regulates membrane-associated and SERCA3-dependent Ca2+ mobilization during platelet activation and that MK/platelet-specific ablation of Npc1 protects against experimental models of arterial thrombosis and myocardial or cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury.

Abstract
This review provides an overview on components of the sphingolipid superfamily, on their localization and metabolism. Information about the sphingolipid biological activity in cell physiopathology is given. Recent studies highlight the role of sphingolipids in inflammatory process. We summarize the emerging data that support the different roles of the sphingolipid members in specific phases of inflammation: (1) migration of immune cells, (2) recognition of exogenous agents, and (3) activation/differentiation of immune cells.

Abstract
Lysosomes have emerged in the last decade as an immensely important intracellular site of Ca2+ storage and signalling. More recently there has been an increase in the number of new ion channels found to be functional on lysosomes and the potential roles that these signalling pathways might play in fundamental cellular processes are being uncovered. Defects in lysosomal function have been shown to result in changes in lysosomal Ca2+ homeostasis and ultimately can result in cell death. Several neurodegenerative diseases, from rare lysosomal storage diseases through to more common diseases of ageing, have recently been identified as having alterations in lysosomal Ca2+ homeostasis that may play an important role in neuronal excitotoxicity and ultimately cell death. This review will critically summarise these recent findings.

Abstract
Niemann-Pick type C (NP-C) disease exhibits neuronal sphingolipid storage and cerebellar Purkinje neuron (PN) loss. Although it is clear that PNs are compromised in this disorder, it remains to be defined how neuronal lipid storage causes the PN loss. Our previous studies have shown that bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) transplantation prevent PN loss in NP-C mice. The aim of the present study was therefore to examine the neuroprotective mechanism of BM-MSCs on PNs. We found that NP-C PNs exhibit abnormal sphingolipid metabolism and defective lysosomal calcium store compared to wild-type mice PNs. BM-MSCs promote the survival of NP-C PNs by correction of the altered calcium homeostasis, restoration of the sphingolipid imbalance, as evidenced by increased sphingosine-1-phosphate levels and decreased sphingosine, and ultimately, inhibition of apoptosis pathways. These effects suggest that BM-MSCs modulate sphingolipid metabolism of endogenous NP-C PNs, resulting in their survival and improved clinical outcome in mice.

Abstract
Niemann-Pick type C1 (NPC1) disease is a neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the acidic compartment (which we define as the late endosome and the lysosome) protein, NPC1. The function of NPC1 is unknown, but when it is dysfunctional, sphingosine, glycosphingolipids, sphingomyelin and cholesterol accumulate. We have found that NPC1-mutant cells have a large reduction in the acidic compartment calcium store compared to wild-type cells. Chelating luminal endocytic calcium in normal cells with high-affinity Rhod-dextran induced an NPC disease cellular phenotype. In a drug-induced NPC disease cellular model, sphingosine storage in the acidic compartment led to calcium depletion in these organelles, which then resulted in cholesterol, sphingomyelin and glycosphingolipid storage in these compartments. Sphingosine storage is therefore an initiating factor in NPC1 disease pathogenesis that causes altered calcium homeostasis, leading to the secondary storage of sphingolipids and cholesterol. This unique calcium phenotype represents a new target for therapeutic intervention, as elevation of cytosolic calcium with curcumin normalized NPC1 disease cellular phenotypes and prolonged survival of the NPC1 mouse.

Abstract
Calcium is a ubiquitous second messenger that controls a broad range of cellular functions, and store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) is the primary mechanism of regulated Ca(2+) entry in non-excitable immunocytes. In this study, we found that N,N-dimethyl-D-erythro-sphingosine (DMS) inhibited SOCE. In U937 cells, treatment with DMS for 2 h inhibited thapsigargin-induced SOCE by about 70%. DMS inhibited SOCE in a concentration-dependent manner when it was added to the cells after SOCE reached a plateau. DMS-induced SOCE inhibition was also confirmed by the Mn(2+)-quenching method, which monitors only Ca(2+) influx. Because sphingosine kinase inhibitors or protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors could not mimic the SOCE inhibition, sphingosine kinase and PKC could be excluded as targets of DMS-induced inhibition of SOCE. Furthermore, disruption of lipid rafts with methyl-beta-cyclodextrin and bacterial sphingomyelinase did not influence DMS-induced inhibition of SOCE. DMS-induced inhibition of SOCE in U937 human monocytes is a unique observation and could serve as a basis to study modulation of intracellular Ca(2+) concentration by sphingolipids, although the precise mechanism should be elucidated in the future.

Abstract
Bile acids are known to induce Ca(2+) signals in pancreatic acinar cells. We have recently shown that phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) regulates changes in free cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) elicited by CCK by inhibiting sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA). The present study sought to determine whether PI3K regulates bile acid-induced [Ca(2+)](i) responses. In pancreatic acinar cells, pharmacological inhibition of PI3K with LY-294002 or wortmannin inhibited [Ca(2+)](i) responses to taurolithocholic acid 3-sulfate (TLC-S) and taurochenodeoxycholate (TCDC). Furthermore, genetic deletion of the PI3K gamma-isoform also decreased [Ca(2+)](i) responses to bile acids. Depletion of CCK-sensitive intracellular Ca(2+) pools or application of caffeine inhibited bile acid-induced [Ca(2+)](i) signals, indicating that bile acids release Ca(2+) from agonist-sensitive endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stores via an inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate-dependent mechanism. PI3K inhibitors increased the amount of Ca(2+) in intracellular stores during the exposure of acinar cells to bile acids, suggesting that PI3K negatively regulates SERCA-dependent Ca(2+) reloading into the ER. Bile acids inhibited Ca(2+) reloading into ER in permeabilized acinar cells. This effect was augmented by phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-trisphosphate (PIP(3)), suggesting that both bile acids and PI3K act synergistically to inhibit SERCA. Furthermore, inhibition of PI3K by LY-294002 completely inhibited trypsinogen activation caused by the bile acid TLC-S. Our results indicate that PI3K and its product, PIP(3), facilitate bile acid-induced [Ca(2+)](i) responses in pancreatic acinar cells through inhibition of SERCA-dependent Ca(2+) reloading into the ER and that bile acid-induced trypsinogen activation is mediated by PI3K. The findings have important implications for the mechanism of acute pancreatitis since [Ca(2+)](i) increases and trypsinogen activation mediate key pathological processes in this disorder.

Abstract
Fumonisin B(1) (FB(1)) is an amphipathic toxin produced by the pathogenic fungus Fusarium verticillioides which causes stem, root and ear rot in maize (Zea mays L.). In this work, we studied the action of FB(1) on the plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.34) from germinating maize embryos, and on the fluidity and lipid peroxidation of these membranes. In maize embryos the toxin at 40 microM inhibited root elongation by 50% and at 30 microM decreased medium acidification by about 80%. Irrespective of the presence and absence of FB(1), the H(+)-ATPase in plasma membrane vesicles exhibited non-hyperbolic saturation kinetics by ATPH-Mg, with Hill number of 0.67. Initial velocity studies revealed that FB(1) is a total uncompetitive inhibitor of this enzyme with an inhibition constant value of 17.5+/-1 microM. Thus FB(1) decreased V(max) and increased the apparent affinity of the enzyme for ATP-Mg to the same extent. Although FB(1) increased the fluidity at the hydrophobic region of the membrane, no correlation was found with its effect on enzyme activity, since both effects showed different FB(1)-concentration dependence. Peroxidation of membrane lipids was not affected by the toxin. Our results suggest that, under in vivo conditions, the plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase is a potentially important target of the toxin, as it is inhibited not only by FB(1) but also by its structural analogs, the sphingoid intermediates, which accumulate upon the inhibition of sphinganine N-acyltransferase by this toxin.

Abstract
Calcium is a key mediator of hormone-induced enzyme secretion in pancreatic acinar cells. At the same time, abnormal Ca(2+) responses are associated with pancreatitis. We have recently shown that inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase) by LY-294002 and wortmannin, as well as genetic deletion of PI3-kinase-gamma, regulates Ca(2+) responses and the Ca(2+)-sensitive trypsinogen activation in pancreatic acinar cells. The present study sought to determine the mechanisms of PI3-kinase involvement in Ca(2+) responses induced in these cells by CCK and carbachol. The PI3-kinase inhibitors inhibited both Ca(2+) influx and mobilization from intracellular stores induced by stimulation of acini with physiological and pathological concentrations of CCK, as well as with carbachol. PI3-kinase inhibition facilitated the decay of cytosolic free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) oscillations observed in individual acinar cells. The PI3-kinase inhibitors decreased neither CCK-induced inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P(3)] production nor Ins(1,4,5)P(3)-induced Ca(2+) mobilization, suggesting that the effect of PI3-kinase inhibition is not through Ins(1,4,5)P(3) or Ins(1,4,5)P(3) receptors. PI3-kinase inhibition did not affect Ca(2+) mobilization induced by thapsigargin, a specific inhibitor of sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA). Moreover, SERCA blockade with thapsigargin abolished the effects of pharmacological and genetic PI3-kinase inhibition on [Ca(2+)](i) signals, suggesting SERCA as a downstream target of PI3-kinase. Both pharmacological PI3-kinase inhibition and genetic deletion of PI3-kinase-gamma increased the amount of Ca(2+) in intracellular stores during CCK stimulation. Finally, addition of the PI3-kinase product phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate to permeabilized acini significantly attenuated Ca(2+) reloading into the endoplasmic reticulum. The results indicate that PI3-kinase regulates Ca(2+) signaling in pancreatic acinar cells through its inhibitory effect on SERCA.

Abstract
The cytokine tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) has been implicated in autoimmune diseases and may play an indirect role in activation of pain pathways. In this study we have investigated the possibility that TNF directly activates cultured neonatal rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurones and provides a signalling pathway from cells in the immune system such as macrophages to sensory neurones. Expression of TNF receptor subtypes (TNFR1 and TNFR2) on sensory neurones was identified using immunohistochemistry, fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis and RT-PCR. Biochemical and immunocytochemical analysis showed that TNF activated p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) but not p42/p44 MAPK. TNF treatment evoked transient Ca2+-dependent inward currents in 70% of DRG neurones. These TNF-evoked currents were significantly attenuated by ryanodine or thapsigargin or by inclusion of BAPTA in the patch pipette solution. Responses were also evoked in subpopulations of cultured DRG neurones by human mutant TNFs that cross-reacted with rat receptors and selectively activated TNFR1 or TNFR2 subtypes. TNF-evoked transient increases in [Ca2+]i were also detected in 34% of fura-2-loaded DRG neurones. The link between TNF receptor activation and Ca2+ release from stores remains to be elucidated. However, responses to TNF were mimicked by sphingolipids, including sphingosine-1-phosphate, which evoked a transient rises in [Ca2+]i in a pertussis toxin-insensitive manner in fura-2-loaded DRG neurones. We conclude that distinct receptors TNFR1 and TNFR2 are expressed on cultured DRG neurones and that they are functionally linked to intracellular Ca2+ mobilisation, a response that may involve sphingolipid signalling.

Abstract
Whole cell patch-clamp recordings were made to study the regulation of the store-operated calcium release-activated calcium current (ICRAC) by metabolites involved in the sphingomyelin pathway in RBL-2H3 cells. Sphingosine, a regulator of cell growth, inhibits ICRAC completely within 200 s and independently from conversion to either sphingosine 1-phosphate or ceramide. Structural analogs of sphingosine, including N,N-dimethylsphingosine, DL-threo-dihydrosphingosine, and N-acetylsphingosine (C2-ceramide) also block ICRAC. This effect is always accompanied by an elevation of whole cell membrane capacitance. These sphingolipids appear, therefore, to accumulate in the plasma membrane and directly block ICRAC channels. Sphingosylphosphorylcholine also increases capacitance but does not inhibit ICRAC, demonstrating structural specificity and that the elevation of capacitance is necessary but not sufficient for block. Nerve growth factor, which is known to break down sphingomyelin, inhibits ICRAC, and this inhibition can be antagonized by reducing sphingosine production with L-cycloserine, suggesting that ICRAC is a physiologically relevant and direct target of sphingosine. We propose that sphingosine directly blocks ICRAC, suggesting that the sphingomyelin pathway is involved in ICRAC regulation.

Abstract
The influence of selected inhibitors of calcium signalling on the plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase activity of rat synaptosomes and peritoneal leukocyte membranes was studied. The calmodulin inhibitor calmidazolium was an efficient inhibitor (50%) of the synaptosomal Ca2+-ATPase activity in a manner competitive with phosphatidylserine. The inhibition by CGS 9343B (30%) was not counteracted by phosphatidylserine. The intracellular calcium antagonist TMB-8 and the protein kinase inhibitor staurosporine and the derivatives CGP 41251 and CGP 42700 hardly affected the synaptosomal Ca2+-ATPase activity. The flavonoid quercetin was a more effective inhibitor of the ATPase activity of synaptosomal than of leukocyte membranes. Phloretin, at relatively high concentrations, caused only a modest inhibition of synaptosomes. The protein kinase C inhibitor sphingosine was a weak inhibitor of the synaptosomal but an effective inhibitor of the leukocyte membrane Ca2+-ATPase activity. The antineoplastic ether phospholipids BM 41.440 (ilmofosine) and ET-18-OCH3 (edelfosine) effectively inhibited the leukocyte membranes whereas the ATPase activity of synaptosomes was significantly increased by 20 microM and slightly inhibited by higher concentrations of these agents. The analogue hexadecylphosphocholine (miltefosine) did not affect the ATPase activity of the synaptosomes and only inhibited that of the leukocyte membranes at concentrations above 20 microM. These results show that several test substances of current interest affect the activity of the plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase. The effects depend on the origin of the membranes. The investigation does not permit a distinction between direct effects on the enzyme and an interference with its membrane environment although the latter is indicated for the ether phospholipids.

Abstract
Sphingosine and ceramide, products of sphingomyelin hydrosis by sphingomyelinase, have recently been regarded as second messengers for cell biological actions. On the other hand, exocrine pancreas is a typical organ to perform regulatory secretion of digestive enzymes, depending upon extracellular signals. We investigated the effects of sphingosine or ceramide on amylase secretion from isolated rat pancreatic acini. Either sphingosine or cell-permeable ceramide inhibits CCK8- or carbachol-induced enzyme secretion from isolated rat pancreatic acini in a dose-dependent manner. Sphingosine or ceramide itself does not affect basal amylase secretion from the acini. Ceramide also inhibits NaF-induced amylase secretion, indicating that it acts post the activation of receptor-linked GTP-binding protein. In our experiments, ceramide inhibited Ca2+ ionophore-induced amylase secretion, but not phorbol ester-induced secretion. These results indicate that ceramide affects secretory processes post intracellular Ca2+ mobilization in the exocrine pancreas.

Abstract
Sphingosine (10 microM) induced mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ stores in the pancreatic duct adenocarcinoma cell line CFPAC-1. The effect was specific for sphingosine, since the sphingosine analog C2-ceramide had no effect. Sphingosine did not cause Ca2+ entry from extracellular medium, as also shown by following Mn2+ quenching of Fura-2 fluorescence. Furthermore, sphingosine, similarly to the mitochondrial inhibitors rotenone and oligomycin, strongly inhibited the rate of Mn2+ entry triggered by both thapsigargin- and agonist-induced depletion of intracellular stores. The uptake of rhodamine 123, a lipophilic cation which estimates mitochondrial energy level, was reduced by sphingosine to an extent similar to that observed in the presence of mitochondrial inhibitors. It is suggested that impairment of mitochondrial function might be responsible for inhibition of capacitative Ca2+ entry caused by sphingosine.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to develop a technique to identify, isolate and partially purify these membrane bound compartments for further characterizations of their Ca2+ transport and storage mechanisms. We 45Ca(2+)-loaded the agonist-sensitive Ca2+ stores in rat pancreatic acini. The loading was accomplished by first depleting the stores with carbachol stimulation followed by the addition of 45Ca2+ and atropine to the extracellular media. After homogenization of the 45Ca(2+)-loaded acini, subcellular fractions were resolved on sucrose and Nycodenz gradients. 45Ca2+ fluxes were minimized during these procedures by inclusion in the media of LaCl3. Five subcellular fractions were identified that specifically accumulated 45Ca2+ after carbachol stimulation. Electron microscopic observations of the fractions demonstrated that three of the fractions consisted of rough membrane vesicles; that one consisted of a mixture of rough and smooth membrane vesicles; and that one consisted of smooth membrane vesicles. All fractions were enriched in glucose-6-phosphatase. All 5 fractions demonstrated ATP dependent 45Ca2+ uptake. By Western blot analysis, all fractions contained calnexin, p58, sarcoplasmic reticulum type Ca(2+)-ATPase, and IP3 receptor. These results demonstrated that the 45Ca(2+)-loading technique can be used to isolate and characterize distinct compartments of the agonist-sensitive Ca2+ store in the pancreatic acinar cell.
