Abstract
Recent studies on the role of nitric oxide (NO) in gastrointestinal smooth muscle have raised the possibility that NO-stimulated cGMP could, in the absence of cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) activity, act as a Ca(2+)-mobilizing messenger [K. S. Murthy, K.-M. Zhang, J.-G. f1p4 J. T. Grider, and G. M. Makhlouf. Am. J. Physiol. 265 (Gastrointest. Liver Physiol. 28): G660-G671, 1993]. This notion was examined in dispersed gastric smooth muscle cells with 8-bromo-cGMP (8-BrcGMP) and with NO and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), which stimulate endogenous cGMP. In muscle cells treated with cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) and PKG inhibitors (H-89 and KT-5823), 8-BrcGMP (10 microM), NO (1 microM), and VIP (1 microM) stimulated 45Ca2+ release (21 +/- 3 to 30 +/- 1% decrease in 45Ca2+ cell content); Ca2+ release stimulated by 8-BrcGMP was concentration dependent with an EC50 of 0.4 +/- 0.1 microM and a threshold of 10 nM. 8-BrcGMP and NO increased cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) and induced contraction; both responses were abolished after Ca2+ stores were depleted with thapsigargin. With VIP, which normally increases [Ca2+]i by stimulating Ca2+ influx, treatment with PKA and PKG inhibitors caused a further increase in [Ca2+]i that reverted to control levels in cells pretreated with thapsigargin. Neither Ca2+ release nor contraction induced by cGMP and NO in permeabilized muscle cells was affected by heparin or ruthenium red. Ca2+ release induced by maximally effective concentrations of cGMP and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) was additive, independent of which agent was applied first. We conclude that, in the absence of PKA and PKG activity, cGMP stimulates Ca2+ release from an IP3-insensitive store and that its effect is additive to that of IP3.

Abstract
Using sheep cerebellum microsomes previously loaded with 45Ca2+ or 90Sr2+, we measured the dependence of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3)-induced efflux of these ions on Ca2+ or Sr2+ on the cytosolic side. At a low InsP3 concentration, Ca2+ in the submicromolar range only poorly activated 45Ca2+ or 90Sr2+ efflux, and higher Ca2+ concentrations were inhibitory. In contrast, Sr2+ in the micromolar range activated release efficiently, while only very high Sr2+ concentrations were inhibitory. Experiments were repeated in the presence of a high InsP3 concentration, which allowed increasing free Ca2+ to micromolar concentrations without inducing complete inhibition of the InsP3-dependent efflux. Under these conditions, micromolar Ca2+ was found to activate efflux to a large extent, similar to that previously found with Sr2+. Optimal activation by Ca2+ of the InsP3-dependent channel occurs at micromolar rather than submicromolar free Ca2+ concentrations, but at too low an InsP3 concentration, Ca(2+)-induced activation is counteracted by Ca(2+)-induced inactivation. Separate measurements of [3H]-InsP3 binding at a low concentration showed that Sr2+ and Ca2+ did not enhance the amount of bound [3H]-InsP3, implying that the activating effect of Sr2+ and Ca2+ in cerebellar microsomes is mediated by an increase in the channel opening probability and not by an increase in the receptor's affinity for InsP3. A similar relationship also holds in the case of the activating effect of nucleotides.

Abstract
In permeabilized lacrimal acinar cells, cyclic ADP-ribose (cADP-ribose) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) release Ca2+ in a dose dependent manner from distinct thapsigargin-sensitive Ca2+ pools. Ryanodine specifically blocks the Ca2+ response to cADP-ribose, whereas heparin strongly reduces the response to Ins(1,4,5)P3 application. GTP causes a rapid Ca2+ release by a ryanodine- and heparin-insensitive mechanism and potentiates Ins(1,4,5)P3 but not cADP-ribose evoked Ca2+ release. It is estimated that cADP-ribose can release 16 mumol Ca2+/l cells, whereas Ins(1,4,5)P3 can mobilize 55 mumol Ca2+/l cells. The results suggest that cADP-ribose and Ins(1,4,5)P3 release Ca2+ from distinct internal stores and that a third Ca2+ pool exists which can selectively interact with the Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive Ca2+ store by a GTP-mediated process.

Abstract
Rat cerebellar RNA injected into Xenopus oocytes leads to the expression of putative P-type voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels (VDCCs). The monitoring of intracellular Ca2+ variations by recording the Ca2+ dependent chloride current in voltage clamped oocytes indicates that activation of these Ca2+ channels by depolarization gives rise to two distinct components of cytosolic Ca2+ elevation. If the early component (T1) can be directly attributed to the Ca2+ entry through VDCCs, the second delayed one (T2) is related to a Ca2+ release from InsP3 sensitive stores activated following Ca2+ entry. Modifications of cytosolic Ca2+ by direct injection of Ca2+ into oocytes or by increasing the Ca2+ influx through VDCCs suggest that the Ca2+ release from intracellular InsP3 sensitive stores can be modulated in a differential manner. Namely, discrete elevations of cytosolic Ca2+ switch on the Ca2+ release whereas higher Ca2+ concentrations dampen the release. These results suggest a functional coupling between P-type VDCCs and InsP3 receptors.

Abstract
By virtue of their biological simplicity and widespread availability, platelets frequently have been used as a model system to study signal transduction. Such studies have revealed that changes in intracellular free calcium concentration are central to platelet functioning. The following article reviews current concepts of platelet structure and function, with particular emphasis on the mechanisms involved in platelet Ca2+ signalling.

Abstract
The effects of the phosphatase inhibitors calyculin A and okadaic acid on amylase release from streptolysin-O permeabilized rat pancreatic acini were investigated. Both agents induced similar biphasic effects with moderate potentiation of calcium-stimulated amylase release at medium and strong inhibition at higher concentrations. Calyculin A was thirty times more potent than okadaic acid and at 100 nM totally inhibited calcium-induced amylase release while 3 microM okadaic acid reduced amylase release by 78%. 100nM calyculin A also completely inhibited GTP gamma S-potentiated amylase release and partially inhibited phorbol ester potentiated secretion. The data indicate that inhibition of a serine/threonine phosphatase, probably a type 1 phosphatase, leads to inhibition of calcium-induced amylase release in permeabilized pancreatic acini.

Abstract
Ca2+ plays an important role in the regulation of smooth-muscle contraction. In this review, we will focus on the various Ca(2+)-transport processes that contribute to the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration. Mainly the functional aspects will be covered. The smooth-muscle inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor and ryanodine receptor will be extensively discussed. Smooth-muscle contraction also depends on extracellular Ca2+ and both voltage- and Ca(2+)-release-activated plasma-membrane Ca2+ channels will be reviewed. We will finally discuss some functional properties of the Ca2+ pumps that remove Ca2+ from the cytoplasm and of the Ca2+ regulation of the nucleus.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) induced Ca2+ release in digitonin permeabilized rat pancreatic acinar cells is specifically inhibited by decavanadate. The Ca2+ release induced with 0.18 microM IP3 is half maximally inhibited with approximately 5 microM decavanadate. Complete inhibition is achieved with around 20 microM decavanadate. Removal of decavanadate from the permeabilized cells fully restores sensitivity towards IP3, indicating the reversibility of the inhibition. Oligovanadate, which inhibits ATP dependent Ca2+ uptake into intracellular stores, does not influence IP3 induced Ca2+ release. In order to reveal the mechanism underlying the effects of the different vanadate species, binding of IP3 to the same cellular preparations was investigated. We found that binding of IP3 to a high affinity receptor site (Kd approx. 1.2 nM) could be abolished by decavanadate but not by oligovanadate. With 0.5 microM decavanadate, IP3 binding was half maximally inhibited. A similar potency of decavanadate was also found with adrenal cortex microsomes which bind IP3 with the same affinity (Kd approx. 1.4 nM) as permeabilized pancreatic acinar cells. Labelled IP3 was displaced from these subcellular membranes with similar kinetics by unlabelled IP3 and decavanadate. The data suggest that the inhibitory action of decavanadate on IP3 induced Ca2+ release is a consequence of its effect on binding of IP3 to its receptor.

Abstract
Isolated rabbit pancreatic acinar cells, permeabilized by saponin treatment and incubated in the presence of 0.1 microM free Ca2+, accumulated 3.3 nmol of Ca2+/mg of acinar protein in an energy-dependent pool. Part of this energy-dependent pool could be released by GTP in a polyethylene glycol-dependent manner. The kinetics of GTP-induced release of Ca2+ showed a biphasic pattern with an initial rapid phase followed by a sustained slower phase. In contrast, IP3-induced release of Ca2+ was completed within 30 s following addition of IP3. No reuptake of Ca2+ was observed following GTP- or IP3-induced release of Ca2+. The GTP effect was independent of IP3 and not inhibited by Ca2+, indicating that the IP3-operated Ca2+ channel is not involved in GTP-induced release of Ca2+. The size of the IP3-releasable pool was not affected by GTP, indicating that GTP, when added to permeabilized acinar cells, does not promote the coupling between IP3-insensitive and IP3-sensitive Ca2+ accumulating organelles. Thus, in permeabilized acinar cells, GTP and IP3 act on different Ca2+ sequestering pools. Interestingly, however, comparison of the size of the GTP-releasable pool with that of the IP3-releasable pool for the cell preparations used in the present study, revealed an inversed relationship, indicating that at the time of permeabilization the GTP-releasable pool can be coupled to a greater or lesser extent to the IP3-releasable pool. This suggests that, in the intact cell, a GTP-dependent mechanism may exist that controls the size of the IP3-releasable pool by coupling IP3-insensitive to IP3-sensitive organelles. Moreover, this suggests that the extent of coupling is preserved during permeabilization.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) is a soluble intracellular messenger formed rapidly after activation of a variety of cell-surface receptors that stimulate phosphoinositidase C activity. The initial response to Ins(1,4,5)P3 is a rapid Ca2+ efflux from nonmitochondrial intracellular stores which are probably specialized subcompartments of the endoplasmic reticulum, although their exact identities remain unknown. This initial response is followed by more complex Ca2+ signals: regenerative Ca2+ waves propagate across the cell, repetitive Ca2+ spikes occur, and stimulated Ca2+ entry across the plasma membrane contributes to the sustained Ca2+ signal. The mechanisms underlying these complex Ca2+ signals are unknown, although Ins(1,4,5)P3 is clearly involved. The intracellular receptor that mediates Ins(1,4,5)P3-stimulated Ca2+ mobilization has been purified and functionally reconstituted, and its amino acid sequence deduced from its cDNA sequence. These studies demonstrate that the Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor has an integral Ca2+ channel separated from the Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding site by a long stretch of residues some of which form binding sites for allosteric regulators, and some of which are substrates for phosphorylation. In this review, we discuss the ligand recognition characteristics of Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptors, and their functional properties in their native environment and after purification, and we relate these properties to what is known of the structure of the receptor. In addition to regulation by Ins(1,4,5)P3, the Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor is subject to many additional regulatory influences which include Ca2+, adenine nucleotides, pH and phosphorylation by protein kinases. Many of the functional and structural characteristics of the Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor show striking similarities to another intracellular Ca2+ channel, the ryanodine receptor. These properties of the Ins(1,4,5)P3 are discussed, and their possible roles in contributing to the complex Ca2+ signals evoked by extracellular stimuli are considered.
