Abstract
Heart mitochondria utilize multiple Ca(2+) transport mechanisms. Among them, the mitochondrial ryanodine receptor provides a fast Ca(2+) uptake pathway across the inner membrane to control "excitation and metabolism coupling." In the present study, we identified a novel ryanodine-sensitive channel in the native inner membrane of heart mitochondria and characterized its pharmacological and biophysical properties by directly patch clamping mitoplasts. Four distinct channel conductances of ∼100, ∼225, ∼700, and ∼1,000 picosiemens (pS) in symmetrical 150 mm CsCl were observed. The 225 pS cation-selective channel exhibited multiple subconductance states and was blocked by high concentrations of ryanodine and ruthenium red, known inhibitors of ryanodine receptors. Ryanodine exhibited a concentration-dependent modulation of this channel, with low concentrations stabilizing a subconductance state and high concentrations abolishing activity. The 100, 700, and 1,000 pS conductances exhibited different channel characteristics and were not inhibited by ryanodine. Taken together, these findings identified a novel 225 pS channel as the native mitochondrial ryanodine receptor channel activity in heart mitoplasts with biophysical and pharmacological properties that distinguish it from previously identified mitochondrial ion channels.

Abstract
Malignant hyperthermia (MH) and central core disease in humans have been associated with mutations in the skeletal ryanodine receptor (RyR1). Heterozygous mice expressing the human MH/central core disease RyR1 R163C mutation exhibit MH when exposed to halothane or heat stress. Considering that many MH symptoms resemble those that could ensue from a mitochondrial dysfunction (e.g. metabolic acidosis and hyperthermia) and that MH-susceptible mice or humans have a higher than normal cytoplasmic Ca(2+) concentration at rest, we evaluated the role of mitochondria in skeletal muscle from R163C compared with wild type mice under basal (untriggered) conditions. R163C skeletal muscle exhibited a significant increase in matrix Ca(2+), increased reactive oxygen species production, lower expression of mitochondrial proteins, and higher mtDNA copy number. These changes, in conjunction with lower myoglobin and glycogen contents, Myh4 and GAPDH transcript levels, GAPDH activity, and lower glucose utilization suggested a switch to a compromised bioenergetic state characterized by both low oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis. The shift in bioenergetic state was accompanied by a dysregulation of Ca(2+)-responsive signaling pathways regulated by calcineurin and ERK1/2. Chronically elevated resting Ca(2+) in R163C skeletal muscle elicited the maintenance of a fast-twitch fiber program and the development of insulin resistance-like phenotype as part of a metabolic adaptation to the R163C RyR1 mutation.

Abstract
Under the 2005 U.S. EPA Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment (1), evaluations of carcinogens rely on mode of action data to better inform dose response assessments. A reassessment of carbon tetrachloride, a model hepatotoxicant and carcinogen, provides an opportunity to incorporate into the assessment biologically relevant mode of action data on its carcinogenesis. Mechanistic studies provide evidence that metabolism of carbon tetrachloride via CYP2E1 to highly reactive free radical metabolites plays a critical role in the postulated mode of action. The primary metabolites, trichloromethyl and trichloromethyl peroxy free radicals, are highly reactive and are capable of covalently binding locally to cellular macromolecules, with preference for fatty acids from membrane phospholipids. The free radicals initiate lipid peroxidation by attacking polyunsaturated fatty acids in membranes, setting off a free radical chain reaction sequence. Lipid peroxidation is known to cause membrane disruption, resulting in the loss of membrane integrity and leakage of microsomal enzymes. By-products of lipid peroxidation include reactive aldehydes that can form protein and DNA adducts and may contribute to hepatotoxicity and carcinogenicity, respectively. Natural antioxidants, including glutathione, are capable of quenching the lipid peroxidation reaction. When glutathione and other antioxidants are depleted, however, opportunities for lipid peroxidation are enhanced. Weakened cellular membranes allow sufficient leakage of calcium into the cytosol to disrupt intracellular calcium homeostasis. High calcium levels in the cytosol activate calcium-dependent proteases and phospholipases that further increase the breakdown of the membranes. Similarly, the increase in intracellular calcium can activate endonucleases that can cause chromosomal damage and also contribute to cell death. Sustained cell regeneration and proliferation following cell death may increase the likelihood of unrepaired spontaneous, lipid peroxidation- or endonuclease-derived mutations that can lead to cancer. Based on this body of scientific evidence, doses that do not cause sustained cytotoxicity and regenerative cell proliferation would subsequently be protective of liver tumors if this is the primary mode of action. To fulfill the mode of action framework, additional research may be necessary to determine alternative mode(s) of action for liver tumors formed via carbon tetrachloride exposure.

Abstract
Acetaminophen hepatotoxicity is mediated by an initial metabolic activation and covalent binding of drug metabolites to liver proteins. Acetaminophen metabolites have been shown to affect rat liver microsomal Ca2+ stores, but the mechanism is not well understood. The aim of the current work was to find out if the metabolism of acetaminophen by CYP2E1 affects ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+ stores in the endoplasmic reticulum of transduced HepG2 cells. Five millimoles acetaminophen decreased proliferation of CYP2E1-overexpressing HepG2 cells, increased cytosolic Ca2+ levels and produced significant cytotoxicity, while only little, mostly anti-proliferative effects were found in HepG2 cells lacking CYP2E1. CYP2E1 inhibitor-4-methylpyrazole decreased drug cytotoxicity in transduced cells and normalized elevated Ca2+ levels. Acetaminophen cytotoxicity was significantly higher in CYP2E1 expressing cells with depleted glutathione. In the cells engineered to overexpress CYP2E1, an increased [3H]ryanodine affinity (by 45%) and increased ligand maximal binding to ryanodine receptors (by 64%) was observed, most probably due to increased association rate of [3H]ryanodine. Ca2+ loading was decreased by about 53% in microsomal fractions isolated from transduced cells treated with acetaminophen and by 92% in glutathione depleted transfected cells treated with the drug. Ca2+/Mg2+-ATPase activity was unchanged in all microsomal fractions. Such effects were not observed in cells lacking CYP2E1. Our results confirm significant role of CYP2E1 in metabolic activation of acetaminophen and indicate that ryanodine receptors located in the liver endoplasmic reticulum are sensitive targets for acetaminophen metabolites.

Abstract
Previous studies suggested a role for calcium in CYP2E1-dependent toxicity. The possible role of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activation in this toxicity was investigated. HepG2 cells that overexpress CYP2E1 (E47 cells) exposed to arachidonic acid (AA) +Fe-NTA showed higher toxicity than control HepG2 cells not expressing CYP2E1 (C34 cells). This toxicity was inhibited by the PLA2 inhibitors aristolochic acid, quinacrine, and PTK. PLA2 activity assessed by release of preloaded [3H]AA after treatment with AA+Fe was higher in the CYP2E1 expressing HepG2 cells. This [3H]AA release was inhibited by PLA2 inhibitors, alpha-tocopherol, and by depleting Ca2+ from the cells (intracellular + extracellular sources), but not by removal of extracellular calcium alone. Toxicity was preceded by an increase in intracellular calcium caused by influx from the extracellular space, and this was prevented by PLA2 inhibitors. PLA2 inhibitors also blocked mitochondrial damage in the CYP2E1-expressing HepG2 cells exposed to AA+Fe. Ca2+ depletion and removal of extracellular calcium inhibited toxicity at early time periods, although a delayed toxicity was evident at later times in Ca2+-free medium. This later toxicity was also inhibited by PLA2 inhibitors. Analogous to PLA2 activity, Ca2+ depletion but not removal of extracellular calcium alone prevented the activation of calpain activity by AA+Fe. These results suggest that release of stored calcium by AA+Fe, induced by lipid peroxidation, can initially activate calpain and PLA2 activity, that PLA2 activation is critical for a subsequent increased influx of extracellular Ca2+, and that the combination of increased PLA2 and calpain activity, increased calcium and oxidative stress cause mitochondrial damage, that ultimately produces the rapid toxicity of AA+Fe in CYP2E1-expressing HepG2 cells.

Abstract
Physiological studies have provided evidence for the existence of ryanodine receptor (RyR) Ca(2+) channels in compound eyes of insects. The present study identifies and localizes RyR in insect photoreceptors by use of an affinity-purified antibody against lobster muscle RyR. Western blotting and indirect immunofluorescence staining confirm cross-reactivity of the antibody with insect muscle RyR. In both honeybee and fly eyes, the antibody identifies a single protein that comigrates with muscle RyR on sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide gels demonstrating that RyR is present in this tissue. By confocal immunofluorescence microscopy on honeybee eyes, RyR is detected within the photoreceptors and shows a nonhomogeneous distribution over the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Double labeling studies have demonstrated further that RyR is localized at distinct ER elements close to the light-sensitive microvilli and juxtaposed to adherens junctions. RyR has also been observed within the remaining soma of honeybee photoreceptors, being concentrated on ER cisternae close to mitochondria and the nonreceptive plasma membrane. For comparative purposes, the distribution of RyR has also been assayed in compound eyes of flies. In both Calliphora and Drosophila photoreceptors, the anti-RyR antibody provides punctate labeling throughout the cell body. The submicrovillar ER cisternae associated with the base of the microvilli, however, are only lightly labeled for RyR. These results suggest that RyR is involved with Ca(2+) regulation in the nonreceptive cell area of both fly and honeybee photoreceptors, but that it may contribute to Ca(2+) regulation close to the phototransduction compartment only in the latter cell.

Abstract
Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) stimulates both transcription and secretion of the alpha subunit of the gonadotropins in a Ca2+-dependent fashion. In this study, we examined the role of Ca2+ as the signal coupling agonist occupancy of GnRH receptors to hormone secretion using the gonadotropic cell line alphaT3-1. Treatment of alphaT3-1 cells for 60 min with GnRH (0.1-100 nM), veratridine (50 microM) or high K+ (56 mM) was completely ineffective in stimulating secretion. The lack of effect occurred in spite of a robust, specific, and dose-dependent biphasic [Ca2+]i response consisting of a rapid peak sensitive to thapsigargin (200 nM) followed by a smaller plateau sensitive to the extracellular application of EGTA (5 mM). On the other hand, treatment of alphaT3-1 cells with the Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin resulted in a significant dose-dependent stimulation of secretion and [Ca2+]i responses comparable to those elicited by GnRH. Binding assays revealed the presence of Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptors (Kd = 3.2 nM, Bmax = 50.5 fmol/mg protein) but not ryanodine receptors in alphaT3-1 cell membranes. Together, these results show a functional uncoupling between the [Ca2+]i response and secretion in this cell line, suggesting that the increase in [Ca2+]i triggered by GnRH and depolarization may be necessary but not sufficient to stimulate exocytosis.

Abstract
Neurons of the avian cochlear nucleus, nucleus magnocellularis (NM), are activated by glutamate released from auditory nerve terminals. If this stimulation is removed, the intracellular calcium ion concentration ([Ca2+]i) of NM neurons rises and rapid atrophic changes ensue. We have been investigating mechanisms that regulate [Ca2+]i in these neurons based on the hypothesis that loss of Ca2+ homeostasis causes the cascade of cellular changes that results in neuronal atrophy and death. In the present study, video-enhanced fluorometry was used to monitor changes in [Ca2+]i stimulated by agents that mobilize Ca2+ from intracellular stores and to study the modulation of these responses by glutamate. Homobromoibotenic acid (HBI) was used to stimulate inositol trisphosphate (IP3)-sensitive stores, and caffeine was used to mobilize Ca2+ from Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR) stores. We provide data indicating that Ca2+ responses attributable to IP3- and CICR-sensitive stores are inhibited by glutamate, acting via a metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR). We also show that activation of C-kinase by a phorbol ester will reduce HBI-stimulated calcium responses. Although the protein kinase A accumulator, Sp-cAMPs, did not have an effect on HBI-induced responses. CICR-stimulated responses were not consistently attenuated by either the phorbol ester or the Sp-cAMPs. We have previously shown that glutamate attenuates voltage-dependent changes in [Ca2+]i. Coupled with the present findings, this suggests that in these neurons mGluRs serve to limit fluctuations in intracellular Ca2+ rather than increase [Ca2+]i. This system may play a role in protecting highly active neurons from calcium toxicity resulting in apoptosis.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the properties of ryanodine and IP3 receptors in regenerating liver following 70% hepatectomy, and to evaluate the hepatic Ca2+ distribution and mobilization during this process. Specific [3H]ryanodine and [3H]IP3 binding to hepatic smooth endoplasmic reticulum membranes, as well as subcellular Ca2+ determination by atomic absorption flame photometry and Ca2+ mobilization by INDO-1 AM spectrofluorescence in hepatocytes, was performed in regenerating livers after surgical 70% hepatectomy. Incorporation of 14C amino acids into proteins and of 32P into phospholipids was done in subcellular fractions. Ryanodine receptor Kd presented a dramatic increase after 12 h of surgery and remained high up to 2 days of treatment. IP3 receptor Bmax showed a significant augmentation starting at 6 h after hepatectomy and returning to normal values after 1 week. Cytosolic total calcium content decreased from 12 h until 4 days after hepatectomy whereas the microsomal and mitochondrial total calcium increased at 1 and 2-4 days of liver regeneration, which coincided with the differential turnover of proteins and phospholipids in these fractions. ATP-induced Ca2+ transients in hepatocytes of 24-h-hepatectomized rats confirmed the altered sensitivity of the ryanodine receptor toward its ligand, since 10 times more ryanodine was necessary to alter the ATP-induced Ca2+ transient. The data support the notion that the calcium release channels are targets of mechanisms of metabolic control during the proliferative response following 70% hepatectomy and might be part of the modified intracellular Ca2+ dynamics during liver regeneration.

Abstract
Immunoblot analysis and [3H]ryanodine binding were used to characterize and identify ryanodine receptors (RyRs) in nonexcitable mouse parotid acini. Western analysis revealed ryanodine receptor type III (Ry3R) to be the only detectable isoform in parotid microsomal membranes. Binding of [3H]ryanodine to microsomal fractions was dependent on Ca2+, salt, pH, and temperature. At 23 degrees C, and in the presence of 0.5 M KCl and 100 microM Ca2+, [3H]ryanodine bound specifically to membranes with high affinity (Kd = 6 nM); maximum binding capacity (Bmax) was 275 fmol/mg protein. Mg2+ and ruthenium red inhibited [3H]ryanodine binding (IC50 = 1.4 mM and 0.5 microM, respectively). 4-Chloro-3-ethylphenol enhanced the binding of [3H]ryanodine 2.5-fold; whereas ATP and caffeine were much less efficacious toward activating Ry3R (56% and 18% maximal enhancement, respectively). Bastadin, a novel modulator of the 12-kDa FK506 binding protein.RyR complex, increased [3H]ryanodine binding 3-4-fold by enhancing Kd. The immunosuppressant FK506 enhanced [3H]ryanodine receptor occupancy at >100 microM and antagonized the action of bastadin, suggesting that an immunophilin modulates Ry3R in parotid acini. These results suggest that Ry3R may play an important role in Ca2+ homeostasis in mouse parotid acini.

Abstract
Elevation of cytosolic calcium levels has been shown to occur after exposure to hepatotoxins such as CCl4. This has been associated with inhibition of the Ca2+, Mg(2+)-ATPase which pumps calcium into the endoplasmic reticulum. Elevated cytosolic Ca2+ may also result from activation of calcium releasing channels. In the presence of NADPH, CCl4 produced a concentration-dependent release of calcium from liver microsomes after a lag period. The lag period was shorter with microsomes from pyrazole-treated rats in which CYP2E1 is induced, as compared to saline microsomes. The calcium releasing process appears to be very sensitive to activation by CCl4 as effective concentrations (e.g., 50 microM) did not affect the Ca2+, Mg(2+)-ATPase or produce lipid peroxidation. Inhibition of the CCl4-induced release of calcium by 4-methylpyrazole and by anti-CYP2E1 IgG, and the requirement for NADPH, indicates that CCl4 metabolism is required for the activation of calcium release. The lag period for CCl4-induced release of calcium was associated with the time required to deplete alpha-tocopherol from the microsomal membranes; however, lipid peroxidation was not observed at these levels of CCl4, and the lag period for CCl4-induced release of calcium was shorter under anaerobic than aerobic conditions, suggesting a possible role for CCl3 in the mechanism of activation. Production of CCl3 was observed by ESR spin-trapping experiments with PBN; PBN prevented the CCl4-induced calcium release, presumably by interacting with CCl3 and other reactive species. Calcium release was produced by thiol oxidants such as 2,2'-dithiodipyridine. Lipophilic thiols such as mercaptoethanol or cysteamine could partially reverse the CCl4-induced calcium release, whereas GSH was ineffective. While the IP3 receptor system is considered as the main regulator of calcium release, liver also contains ryanodine-sensitive calcium releasing stores. The CCl4-induced calcium release was blocked by ruthenium red, a specific inhibitor of the ryanodine receptor; ruthenium red did not block CCl4 metabolism to CCl3. CCl4 increased the binding of ryanodine, a specific ligand for the ryanodine-sensitive calcium channel. These results suggest that metabolism of CCl4 to reactive species by cytochrome P450 results in an activation of a ryanodine-sensitive calcium channel, perhaps due to oxidation of lipophilic thiols of the channel. Activation of calcium releasing channels may play a role in the elevated cytosolic calcium levels found in the liver after treatment with hepatotoxins.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate can regulate growth and differentiation by modulating the release of intracellular Ca2+ in a variety of cellular systems, and it is involved in oocyte activation. Recent studies suggest that mammalian preimplantation development may also be regulated by the release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores. The rate of cavitation and cell division was accelerated after a transient elevation of intracellular Ca2+ levels was induced in morulae by exposure to ethanol or ionomycin. Embryos exposed to BAPTA-AM, a chelator of intracellular Ca2+, exhibited a brief dose-dependent reduction in basal Ca2+ levels, a temporal inhibition of ionophore-induced Ca2+ signalling and a subsequent delay in blastocoel formation. BAPTA-AM at 0.5 microM did not significantly alter the basal intracellular calcium level, but chelated Ca2+ that was released after ethanol exposure and thereby attenuated the ethanol-induced acceleration of cavitation. BAPTA-AM also inhibited cell division to the 16-cell stage in a dose-dependent manner, which correlated with the inhibition of cavitation. Thimerosal and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate significantly elevated the intracellular Ca2+ concentration in mouse morula-stage embryos, providing evidence for the existence of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-sensitive Ca2+ stores. Although caffeine failed to release intracellular Ca2+, ryanodine induced a small biphasic release of Ca2+, suggesting that ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+ stores may also exist in mouse embryos. Morulae exposed to the calmodulin inhibitor W-7 exhibited a dose-dependent delay in blastocoel formation. A 4 hour exposure to 10 microM W-7 did not significantly alter cavitation, but attenuated the ionophore-induced stimulation of blastocoel formation. This finding suggests that the developmental effects produced through Ca2+ signalling are mediated by calmodulin. Our results demonstrate that Ca2+ release in mouse morulae occurs predominantly through the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor, and that alteration of intracellular Ca2+ levels can accelerate or delay embryonic growth and differentiation, providing a mechanistic link between the regulation of oocyte and embryonic development.

Abstract
B and T lymphocytes undergoing apoptosis in response to anti-immunoglobulin M antibodies and dexamethasone, respectively, were found to have increased amounts of messenger RNA for the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) and increased amounts of IP3R protein. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that the augmented receptor population was localized to the plasma membrane. Type 3 IP3R (IP3R3) was selectively increased during apoptosis, with no enhancement of type 1 IP3R (IP3R1). Expression of IP3R3 antisense constructs in S49 T cells blocked dexamethasone-induced apoptosis, whereas IP3R3 sense, IP3R1 sense, or IP3R1 antisense control constructs did not block cell death. Thus, the increases in IP3R3 may be causally related to apoptosis.

Abstract
Alcohol is a known teratogen that causes a broad variety of developmental anomalies, including fetal growth retardation, craniofacial anomalies, and neurological disorders. The etiology of this multiple defect syndrome, known as fetal alcohol syndrome, has been studied in animal models that reproduce many of the attributes of the human disease. These studies show that ethanol is most teratogenic during organogenesis and development of the nervous system. The molecular basis of fetal alcohol effects has been further investigated using embryo and cell culture systems. Recent studies show that signal transduction pathways controlling cell proliferation are perturbed during ethanol exposure. Ethanol can induce the release of intracellular calcium stores, which stimulates the cell cycle, and it also up-regulates the expression of myc proteins associated with cell proliferation. Increased proliferation is advantageous during the preimplantation period, but ethanol interference with terminal differentiation events within developing tissues during organogenesis may underlie alcohol teratogenicity.

Abstract
We have used reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction to investigate the expression of ryanodine receptors in several excitable and nonexcitable cell types. Consistent with previous reports, we detected ryanodine receptor expression in brain, heart, and skeletal muscle. In addition, we detected ryanodine receptor expression in various other excitable cells including PC 12 and A7r5 cells. Several muscle cell lines (BC3H1, C2C12, L6, and Sol8) weakly expressed ryanodine receptor when undifferentiated but strongly expressed type 1 and type 3 ryanodine receptor isoforms when differentiated into a muscle phenotype. Only 2 (HeLa and LLC-PK1 cells) out of 11 nonexcitable cell types examined expressed ryanodine receptors. Expression of ryanodine receptors at the protein level in these cells was confirmed using [3H]ryanodine binding. We also investigated the function of ryanodine receptors in Ca2+ signaling in HeLa cells using single-cell Fura-2 imaging. Neither caffeine nor ryanodine caused a detectable elevation of cytoplasmic Ca2+ in single HeLa cells. However, ryanodine caused a significant decrease in the amplitude of Ca 2+ signals evoked by repetitive stimulation with ATP. These studies show that ryanodine receptors are expressed in some nonexcitable cell types and furthermore suggest that the ryanodine receptors may be involved in a subtle regulation of intracellular Ca2+ responses.

Abstract
A hypothesis for the hormonal regulation of gluconeogenesis, in which increases in cytosolic free-Ca2+ levels ([Ca2+]i) play a major role, is presented. This hypothesis is based on the observation that gluconeogenic hormones evoke a common pattern of Ca2+ redistribution, resulting in increases in [Ca2+]i. Current concepts of hormonally evoked Ca2+ fluxes are presented and discussed. It is suggested that the increase in [Ca2+]i is functionally linked to stimulation of gluconeogenesis. The stimulation of gluconeogenesis is accomplished in two ways: (1) by increasing the activities of the Krebs cycle and the electron-transfer chain, thereby supplying adenosine triphosphates (ATP) and reducing equivalents to the process; and (2) by stimulating the activities of key gluconeogenic enzymes, such as pyruvate carboxylase. The hypothesis presents a conceptual framework that ties together two interrelated manifestations of hormone action: signal transduction and metabolism.

Abstract
We have studied the effects of CoA and palmitoyl-CoA on Ca2+ movements and GTP-dependent vesicle fusion in rat liver microsomes. (1) Inhibition of membrane fusion by CoA depends on esterification of CoA to long-chain acyl-CoA using endogenous non-esterified fatty acids. (2) Binding of long-chain acyl-CoA to microsomal membranes is inhibited by BSA, which also relieves inhibition of membrane fusion. (3) Under conditions where acyl-CoA binding is inhibited, CoA causes increased Ca2+ accumulation, apparently by decreasing the Ca2+ leak rate. (4) Conversely, palmitoyl-CoA, in the presence of BSA, causes Ca2+ efflux. (5) The decrease in Ca(2+)-permeability caused by CoA does not depend on the presence of ATP or GTP, and is irreversible in the short term. (6) Using 14C-labelled CoA we show that CoA derivatives can be formed from endogenous components of microsomal membranes in the absence of ATP. (7) The results are interpreted in terms of a Ca(2+)-permeability which is controlled by CoA and/or long-chain acyl-CoA esters.

Abstract
The IP3 receptor is involved in Ca2+ mobilization from intracellular stores. Recently, we purified an inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate receptor from rat liver plasma membrane (LPM-IP3R) [Schäfer R. Hell K. Fleischer S. (1993) Purification of an IP3 receptor from liver plasma membrane. Biophys. J. 66, A146]. The purified LPM-IP3 receptor was incorporated into vesicle derived planar bilayers and its channel properties characterized. The receptor displayed ion channel activity that was activated by inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate [(1,4,5)IP3] (1 microM) and inhibited by inositol (1,3,4,5)-tetrakisphosphate (IC50 approximately 1 microM) and by heparin (IC50 approximately 20 micrograms/ml). The channel displays a unitary conductance of 9 pS, and 13 pS in symmetrical 100 mM and 500 mM KCl, respectively, and in symmetrical 250 mM cesium methanesulfonate the slope conductance is 11 pS. Activation by (1,4,5)IP3 is specific to the cis-side of the chamber, equivalent to the cytoplasmic face. The receptor is a Ca2+ permeable ion channel based on ion selectivity (Ca2+ > K+ > Na+ >> Cl). The LPM-IP3 receptor was also permeable to Cs (Cs+ > or = K+), similar to other intracellular Ca2+ release channels, i.e. the IP3 receptor from brain and smooth muscle (IP3R-1) and the ryanodine receptor from skeletal muscle (RyR-1) and heart (RyR-2). Channel activity is not voltage dependent (+/- 100 mV applied voltage). The channel is activated by ATP and Ca2+. The open probability of the (1,4,5)IP3 activated channel activity displays a bell shaped response to cis Ca2+ ion concentration of our system. The LPM-IP3 receptor differs from intracellular IP3R-1 in that the Ca2+ and ATP concentration required for maximum activation is about 10 times higher as compared with IP3R-1 from brain cerebellum and smooth muscle. We conclude that the LPM-IP3 receptor is an (1,4,5)IP3 activated Ca2+ permeable ion channel. The implication of our studies is that in liver, (1,4,5)IP3 regulates Ca2+ influx via the plasma membrane.

Abstract
The mechanism of action of the immunosuppressant FK506 in the liver was studied. The hypothesis was tested that FK506 exerts its effect in the liver by interacting with the ryanodine-binding Ca2+ release channel. Two types of experiments were carried out: (1) [3H]-ryanodine binding studies with isolated microsomal fractions, and (2) cytosolic-free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) measurements with the intracellular Ca(2+)-indicator fura-2. The inclusion of FK506 in the incubation medium significantly decreased the binding of [3H]-ryanodine to liver microsomes. The Bmax of binding in control experiments was 405 fmol/mg protein; the presence of FK506 decreased the Bmax to 157 fmol/mg protein. Measurements of [Ca2+]i in the presence and absence of FK506 showed a decrease in [Ca2+]i in the presence of FK506. The data support the notion that FK506 interacts with the ryanodine binding Ca2+ channel in the liver and suggest a critical role for the ryanodine-binding Ca2+ channel in the hepatic responses to FK506. The interaction between FKBP-12 (FK506 binding protein) and the ryanodine-binding Ca2+ channel may be an essential link in the chain of events by which FK506 alters Ca(2+)-dependent cellular processes.

Abstract
The effects of caffeine on agonist-induced changes in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) were studied in single fura 2-loaded cells and suspensions of rat hepatocytes. In single cells, caffeine (5-10 mM) inhibited [Ca2+]i oscillations induced both by noradrenaline (0.1 microM) and by vasopressin (0.1 nM). Caffeine shifted the dose-response curves of the [Ca2+]i rise induced by vasopressin (0.5 to 2 nM) and noradrenaline (from 80 to 580 nM) in suspensions of liver cells loaded with quin2. This inhibitory effect of caffeine was not due to inhibition of phosphodiesterase enzymes and elevation of cyclic AMP levels, because application of 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, forskolin or 8-bromo cyclic AMP had no inhibitory effect on the intracellular Ca2+ rise induced by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3)-dependent agonists. We demonstrate that the inhibitory effect of caffeine may result from at least three actions of caffeine: (1) inhibition of receptor-stimulated InsP3 formation; (2) inhibition of agonist-stimulated Ca2+ influx; and (3) direct inhibition of the InsP3-sensitive Ca(2+)-release channel.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) is involved in the mobilization of Ca2+ from intracellular non-mitochondrial stores. In rat liver, it has been shown that the InsP3-binding site co-purifies with the plasma membrane. This suggests that in the liver the InsP3 receptor (InsP3R) associates with plasma membrane. We studied the subcellular distribution of the liver InsP3R by measuring the maximal binding capacity of [3H]InsP3 and using antibodies against the 14 C-terminal residues of the type 1 InsP3R. The antibodies recognized a large amount of an InsP3R protein of 260 kDa in a membrane fraction which is also enriched with [3H]InsP3-binding sites and with markers of the basal, the lateral and the bile-canalicular membrane and the plasma-membrane Ca2+ pump (PMCA). The fractions enriched in markers of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the Ca2+ pump of the ER (SERCA2b) contained low levels of InsP3 receptors. The immunofluorescent labelling of cultured hepatocytes with anti-InsP3R antibodies indicated that the receptor is concentrated in the perinuclear area and in some regions near the plasma membrane. The fraction enriched with InsP3R is also contaminated with markers of the ER and with SERCA2b. It was exposed to alkaline medium (pH 10.5) to extract endogenous actin and membrane-associated proteins before being subfractionated by Percoll-gradient centrifugation. The alkaline treatment allowed partial separation of the markers of the ER from the markers of the plasma membrane. The InsP3R was recovered in the heavy subfraction, which was also enriched with markers for the ER and with the SERCA2b and contained low levels of markers of the plasma membrane. These data indicate that the InsP3R is neither localized on the plasma membrane itself nor homogeneously distributed on the ER membrane. This supports the view that part of the receptor is localized on a specialized sub-region of the ER which interacts with the plasma membrane.

Abstract
Membrane depolarization, neurotransmitters, and hormones evoke a release of Ca2+ from intracellular Ca(2+)-storing organelles like the endoplasmic reticulum and, in muscle, the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). In turn, the released Ca2+ serves to trigger a variety of cellular responses. The presence of Ca2+ pumps to replenish intracellular stores was described more than 20 years ago. The presence of Ca2+ channels, like the ryanodine receptor, which suddenly release the organelle-stored Ca2+, is a more recent finding. This review describes the progress made in the last five years on the structure, function, and regulation of the ryanodine receptor. Numerous reports have described the response of ryanodine receptors to cellular ions and metabolites, kinases and other proteins, and pharmacological agents. In many cases, comparative measurements have been made using Ca2+ fluxes in SR vesicles, single-channel recordings in planar bilayers, and radioligand binding assays using [3H]ryanodine. These techniques have helped to relate the activity of single ryanodine receptors to global changes in the SR Ca2+ permeability. Molecular information on functional domains within the primary structure of the ryanodine receptor is also available. There are at least three ryanodine receptor isoforms in various tissues. Some cells, such as amphibian muscle cells, express more than a single isoform. The diversity of ligands known to modulate gating and the diversity of tissues known to express the protein suggest that the ryanodine receptor has the potential to participate in many types of cell stimulus-Ca(2+)-release coupling mechanisms.

Abstract
Studies were carried out to characterize the interaction between inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptors and the plasma membrane fraction. Extraction of the membranes with the nonionic detergents Nonidet P-40 and Triton X-100, followed by centrifugation at 100,000 g, resulted in the doubling of the IP3 receptor in the pellets, whereas no detectable binding was found in the supernatants. These data indicate that the detergents did not solubilize the receptor, that it remained associated with membrane particles, and that it is likely to be associated with the cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton proteins actin, ankyrin, and spectrin were identified in the plasma membrane fraction. However, comparison of the amount of these proteins in different fractions of the detergent, or otherwise treated plasma membrane fractions, showed no direct correlation between the presence of any of these proteins in the plasma membrane fraction and their ability to bind [3H]IP3. This is in contrast to the brain and T-lymphoma cells in which the IP3 receptor is attached to ankyrin (L. Y. W. Bourguigon, H. Jin, N. Iida, N. R. Brandt, and S. H. Zhang. J. Biol. Chem. 268: 6477-6486, 1993; and S. K. Joseph and S. Samanta. J. Biol. Chem 268: 6477-6486, 1993). Thus the hepatic IP3 receptor, which is different from the brain receptor, might attach to the cytoskeleton by anchoring to a different protein. Because cytochalasin D treatment of livers diminishes the ability of IP3 to raise cytosolic free Ca2+ levels, the attachment of the IP3 receptor to the cytoskeleton seems to involve an association with microfilaments.

Abstract
The effects of various local anaesthetics (LAs) on ryanodine binding of the sheep brain ryanodine receptor were tested. Tetracaine and dibucaine inhibit the binding with half-maximal inhibition (CI50) of 0.12 mM and 0.7 mM, respectively. Lidocaine and its analog QX-314, on the other hand, stimulate the binding up to 3-fold with half-maximal stimulation occurring with about 2 mM of the drugs. Lidocaine increases both the receptor affinity for ryanodine by about 5-fold and the rate of ryanodine association with its binding site by about 6-fold. Tetracaine and lidocaine also interact with the purified brain ryanodine receptor and produce inhibitory and stimulatory effects similar to those obtained with the membrane-bound receptor. The interaction of the LAs with the brain ryanodine receptor, as well as with the skeletal muscle receptor [J. Memb. Biol. 133 (1993) 171-182], suggest that ryanodine receptor possesses intrinsic binding site(s) for LAs.

Abstract
Rat liver was homogenized and subjected to differential centrifugation. When the low speed nuclear pellet was processed on a Percoll gradient, plasma membrane markers and Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding activity purified together. The high speed (microsomal) fraction was subfractionated by sucrose density gradient centrifugation, resulting in 10-fold enrichment of [32P]-Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding. In the sucrose density gradient fractions there was an inverse relationship between the enrichment of plasma membrane markers and Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding sites. Endoplasmic reticulum markers showed a moderate enrichment in the fractions displaying high Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding activity. Calcium binding proteins in the homogenate and in the microsomal subfractions were separated by SDS/PAGE. A 60 kD protein, stained metachromatically with Stains-All was identified as calreticulin with immunoblotting. Its enrichment pattern was similar to that of Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding sites, indicating the co-existence of these two elements of Ca(2+)-metabolism in the same intracellular compartment in the liver.

Abstract
The effects of ryanodine, a plant alkaloid which alters Ca2+ sequestration in the liver, on O2 uptake and gluconeogenesis were measured. Ryanodine administration to perfused rat liver resulted in the stimulation of O2 uptake and of gluconeogenesis. Because ryanodine does not affect directly mitochondrial respiration, its stimulatory effect on O2 uptake in the whole cell is likely to be secondary to the increased cytosolic free Ca2+ levels.
