Abstract
The chapter is focused on the mechanism of action of metabotropic P2Y nucleotide receptors: P2Y1, P2Y2, P2Y12, P2Y14 and the ionotropic P2X7 receptor in glioma C6 cells. P2Y1 and P2Y12 both respond to ADP, but while P2Y1 links to PLC and elevates cytosolic Ca2+ concentration, P2Y12 negatively couples to adenylate cyclase, maintaining cAMP at low level. In glioma C6, these two P2Y receptors modulate activities of ERK1/2 and PI3K/Akt signaling and the effects depend on physiological conditions of the cells. During prolonged serum deprivation, cell growth is arrested, the expression of the P2Y1 receptor strongly decreases and P2Y12 becomes a major player responsible for ADP-evoked signal transduction. The P2Y12 receptor activates ERK1/2 kinase phosphorylation (a known cell proliferation regulator) and stimulates Akt activity, contributing to glioma invasiveness. In contrast, P2Y1 has an inhibitory effect on Akt pathway signaling. Furthermore, the P2X7 receptor, often responsible for apoptotic fate, is not involved in Ca2+elevation in C6 cells. The shift in nucleotide receptor expression from P2Y1 to P2Y12 during serum withdrawal, the cross talk between both receptors and the lack of P2X7 activity shows the precise self-regulating mechanism, enhancing survival and preserving the neoplastic features of C6 cells.

Abstract
In this chapter we try to show a comprehensive image of current knowledge of structure, activity and physiological role of the P2Y1 purinergic receptor. The structure, distribution and changes in the expression of this receptor are summarized, as well as the mechanism of its signaling activity by the intracellular calcium mobilization. We try to show the connection between the components of its G protein activation and cellular or physiological effects, starting from changes in protein phosphorylation patterns and ending with such remote effects as receptor-mediated apoptosis. The special emphasis is put on the role of the P2Y1 receptor in cancer cells and neuronal plasticity. We concentrate on the P2Y1 receptor, it is though impossible to completely abstract from other aspects of nucleotide signaling and cross-talk with other nucleotide receptors is here discussed. Especially, the balance between P2Y1 and P2Y12 receptors, sharing the same ligand but signaling through different pathways, is presented.

Abstract
Photofrin photodynamic therapy (PDT) caused a dose-dependent decrease of enzymatic cell detachment by trypsin/ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA) in human glioma U251n and U87 cells. This happened coincidently with the increase of intracellular free calcium ([Ca(2+)](i)). Thapsigargin, which increased [Ca(2+)](i), induced further decrease in enzymatic cell detachment and increased cytotoxicity. Opposite effects were observed when 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy) ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetra-acetic acid tetrakis, an intracellular Ca(2+) chelator, was used. PDT-induced changes in [Ca(2+)](i) and cell detachment were not blocked by calcium channel antagonists nickel (Ni(2+)) or nimodipine, nor were they altered when cells were irradiated in a buffer free from Ca(2+) and magnesium (Mg(2+)), suggesting that [Ca(2+)](i) is derived from the internal calcium stores. Decreased cell migration was observed after PDT, as assessed by chemotactic and wound-healing assays. Our findings indicated that internal calcium store-derived [Ca(2+)](i) plays an important role in PDT-induced enzymatic cell detachment decrease and cytotoxicity. Cell migration may be affected by these changes.

Abstract
The human mast cell line (HMC-1(560)) is a good model for Ca(2+) signaling studies, because intracellular alkalinization is the mainly histamine release stimulus without changes in the intracellular Ca(2+) levels. This fact allows us to study Ca(2+) changes without degranulation, since this process can affected cellular viability. Ionomycin and thapsigargin have been fully used for induced Ca(2+) influx across SOC channels. When HMC-1(560) cells are incubated with rottlerin, 5 microM, for 5 min a strong inhibition of ionomycin-induced Ca(2+) influx is observed. However, when thapsigargin stimulates Ca(2+) influx, rottlerin did not show any effect on Ca(2+) levels. This fact point two possibilities, ionomycin and thapsigargin might activate different SOC channels or that these drugs might activate the same channel but in a different way in HMC-1(560) cells. The rottlerin inhibition of ionomycin-induced Ca(2+) influx is PKC-delta independent and this effect is not related with the store depletion, since rottlerin has the same effect when it is added before or after the stores are empty. FCCP, a know uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria, induces the same inhibition in ionomycin Ca(2+) influx than rottlerin which point to the mitochondria as a cellular target to rottlerin.

P2Y(1) and P2Y(12) receptor cross-talk in calcium signalling: Evidence from nonstarved and long-term serum-deprived glioma C6 cells. Purinergic Signal 2007; 3:221-30.

Abstract
The current work presents results of experiments on the calcium response evoked by the stimulation by extracellular nucleotides occurring in control, nonstarved glioma C6 cells and in cells after long-term (96 h) serum starvation. Three nucleotide receptors were studied: P2Y1, P2Y2 and P2Y12. Two of them, P2Y1 and P2Y2, directly stimulate calcium response. The protein level of the P2Y2 receptor did not change during the serum starvation, while P2Y1 protein level fell dramatically. Observed changes in the calcium response generated by P2Y1 are directly correlated with the receptor protein level as well as with the amount of calcium present in the intracellular calcium stores, partially depleted during starvation process. The third receptor, P2Y12, did not directly evoke calcium response, however it is activated by the same ligand as P2Y1. The experiments with AR-C69941MX, the P2Y12-specific antagonist, indicated that in control and serum-starved cells, calcium response evoked by P2Y1 receptor is potentiated by the activity of P2Y12-dependent signaling pathways. This potentiation may be mediated by P2Y12 inhibitory effect on the plasma membrane calcium pump. The calcium influx enhanced by the cooperation of P2Y1 and P2Y12 receptor activity directly depends on the capacitative calcium entrance mechanism.

Abstract
We study in HMC-1 the activation process, measured as histamine release. We know that ammonium chloride (NH(4)Cl) and ionomycin release histamine, and the modulatory role of drugs targeting protein kinase C (PKC), adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP), tyrosine kinase (TyrK) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) on this effect. We used Gö6976 (100 nM) and low concentration of GF 109203X (GF) (50 nM) to inhibit Ca(2+)-dependent PKC isozymes. For Ca(2+)-independent isozymes, we used 500 nM GF and 10 microM rottlerin (specifically inhibits PKCdelta). Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) (100 ng/ml) was used to stimulate PKC, and genistein (10 microM) and lavendustin A (1 microM) as unspecific TyrK inhibitors. STI571 10 microM was used to specifically inhibit the activity of Kit, the receptor for stem cell factor, and 10 nM wortmannin as a PI3K inhibitor. Activation of PKC with PMA enhances histamine release in response to NH(4)Cl and ionomycin. PMA increases NH(4)Cl-induced alkalinization and ionomycin-induced Ca(2+) entry. Inhibition of PKCdelta strongly inhibits Ca(2+) entry elicited by ionomycin, but failed to modify histamine release. The effect of cAMP-active drugs was explored with the adenylate cyclase activator forskolin (30 microM), the inhibitor SQ22,536 (1 microM), the cAMP analog dibutyryl cAMP (200 microM), and the PKA blocker H89 (1 microM). Forskolin and dibutyryl cAMP do increase NH(4)Cl-induced alkalinization, and potentiate histamine release elicited by this compound. Our data indicates that alkaline-induced exocytosis is modulated by PKC and cAMP, suggesting that pH could be a modulatory signal itself.

Abstract
Experiments affecting calcium signaling often lead to changes in the calcium transient height. The present work is designed to approach this effect theoretically. Use of computational model let us to follow results of precisely designed changes in the endoplasmic reticulum distribution as a possible cause of cytoplasmic free calcium ion level. Obtained results suggest that indeed, rearrangement of the endoplasmic reticulum elements may be responsible for modulation of calcium signal's strength. We have also noticed that even if the endoplasmic reticulum concentration levels are local, the resulting changes in free calcium concentration are global and evenly distributed throughout the cell. The used mathematical method proved to be a powerful tool which made us understand the chemical dynamics of nonequilibrium processes of calcium transient formation. Presented data show how Ca2+ signal resulting from IP3 provoked release of calcium from the endoplasmic reticulum may depend on the cytoskeleton structure.

Abstract
Capacitative calcium entry, usually evoked by receptor-ligand binding, may be also studied in the model system of calcium release after SERCA pump inhibition. We have previously found that disorganization of actin cytoskeleton has no effect on calcium influx into glioma C6 cells after thapsigargin administration [Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 296 (2002) 484]. In the present work we show that the effect of other SERCA pump inhibitors depends on the endoplasmic reticulum distribution in a cell. Changing this distribution leads to changes in calcium release from ER stores. Intensity of calcium influx in the capacitative phase of cell answer does not depend on actin cytoskeleton state; however, administration of cytochalasin D significantly slows down signal build-up. While cyclopiazonic acid acts very similarly to thapsigargin, cytoskeleton disorganization leads to rise of calcium signal after administration of 2,5-di-(t-butyl)-1,4-benzohydroquinone. This effect may be caused by specific binding of this inhibitor to SERCA3 isoform of pump protein only.

Abstract
We have previously shown that, in glioma C6 cells, two nucleotide ADP-sensitive receptors coexist: P2Y1, coupled to PLC and responsible for Ca2+ release, and P2Y12, negatively coupled to adenylate cyclase. In the present study, we examined the effects of the stimulation of these two receptors on ERK1/2 and PI3-K activation, and cell proliferation in either serum-deprived or nonstarved C6 cells. In response to ADP and its analogues, in serum-starved cells, both p44 ERK1 and p42 ERK2 were activated in a time-dependent manner, as monitored by Western blot analysis using an antiphospho-p42/p44 MAPK antibody. The phosphorylation was reduced both by removal of the extracellular Ca2+ and partially or almost completely by MRS2179 or AR-C69931MX, specific antagonists of the P2Y1 and P2Y12 receptors, respectively. The inhibitory effect of antagonists was additive. These data indicate the involvement of both receptors, P2Y1 and P2Y12, in the ERK1/2 activation, but the P2Y12 receptor contribution predominates. ERK1/2 activity was positively correlated with cell proliferation of cultured glioma C6 cells. In nonstarved cells, ADP markedly decreased the PI3-K activity. In contrast, in serum-starved cells, ADP evoked an increase in the PI3-K activity. Blocking of the P2Y1 receptor by MRS2179 additionally increased this ADP response. These results suggest that the P2Y1 receptor has an inhibitory and the P2Y12 receptor a stimulatory effect on PI3-K signalling pathway. RT-PCR analysis revealed different mRNA expression of both receptors in starved and nonstarved cells. In nonstarved cells, the P2Y1 receptor mRNA predominates, whereas in serum-deprived cells the expression of P2Y12 mRNA becomes more pronounced.

Abstract
The alpha-ketoisocaproic acid (KIC) is a short branched-chain monocarboxylate, which accumulates in neural cells. It plays an important role in maintaining nitrogen balance in the brain, a process of a great importance for shuttling of glutamine and glutamate between astrocytes and neurons. Higher accumulation of KIC in isolated cerebral cortex neurons at lower external pH, as well as sensitivity of this process to alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamate indicate an involvement of a transporter, belonging to the family of monocarboxylate transporters (MCT).The expression of MCT1 and MCT2 isoforms in the brain cells was studied using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method. The mRNA coding MCT1 was detected in astrocytes, brain endothelial cells, tumour cells (neuroblastoma and glioma) and in cortex neurons of newborn rats, but not in adult ones. MCT2, which is less abundant isoform than MCT1, was expressed in astrocytes, in brain endothelial cells and at low level in newborn rats' neurons, being absent in neurons from adult brain.The observed sensitivity of KIC accumulation towards SH-groups reagents did not fit to the known characteristics of MCT1 and MCT2. Therefore, the change of MCT expression during brain development, as well as lack of MCT1 and MCT2 in neurons of adults, point to another MCT isoform being involved in alpha-ketoisocaproic acid accumulation. This could be either one of other known MCT isoforms or a new member of family MCT, specific towards branched chain alpha-ketoacids.

Abstract
The present study demonstrated that endotheline-1 (ET-1) stimulated a biphasic (transient and sustained) increase in [Ca(2+)](i) and signaling was blocked by BQ123 and inhibited by BQ788. RT-PCR analysis revealed that ET(A) was expressed more than ET(B) mRNA-suggesting that ET(A) is the major receptor. Simply reintroducing Ca(2+) in the buffer stimulated a sustained increase in [Ca(2+)](i) and the effect was inhibited by U73122, thapsigargin (TG), miconazole and SKF96365. When measured in Ca(2+)-free buffer, the ET-1-stimulated Ca(2+) transient decreased by 73% and the reintroduction of Ca(2+) induced a large sustained increase in [Ca(2+)](i). These effects were not affected by nifedipine, but were inhibited by miconazole and SKF96365-indicating that the sustained increase in [Ca(2+)](i) mediated by ET-1 was mostly due to capacitative Ca(2+) entry (CCE). The ET-1-induced CCE was inhibited by phorbol ester (PMA) but was enhanced by GF109203X; it was also enhanced by 8-bromo-cyclic AMP (8-Br-cAMP) but was inhibited by H89. Thus, protein kinase C (PKC) negatively regulated and cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) positively regulated the ET-1-mediated CCE in these cells.

Abstract
The effects of actin cytoskeleton disruption by cytochalasin D and latrunculin A on Ca2+ signals evoked by ADP, UTP or thapsigargin were investigated in glioma C6 cells. Despite the profound alterations of the actin cytoskeleton architecture and cell morphology, ADP and UTP still produced cytosolic calcium elevation in this cell line. However, calcium mobilization from internal stores and Ca2+ influx through store-operated Ca2+ channels induced by ADP and UTP were strongly reduced. Cytochalasin D and latrunculin A also diminished extracellular Ca2+ influx in unstimulated glioma C6 cells previously incubated in Ca2+ free buffer. In contrast, the disruption of the actin cytoskeleton had no effect on thapsigargin-induced Ca2+ influx in this cell line. Both agonist- and thapsigargin-generated Ca2+ entry was significantly decreased by the blocker of store-operated Ca2+ channels, 2-aminoethoxydiphenylborate. The data reveal that two agonists and thapsigargin activate store-operated Ca2+ channels but the mechanism of activation seems to be different. While the agonists evoke a store-mediated Ca2+ entry that is dependent on the actin cytoskeleton, thapsigargin apparently activates an additional mechanism, which is independent of the disruption of the cytoskeleton.

Since these contradictory findings suggest the action of different PKC isozymes we analysed the role of calcium-dependent PKC-alpha, and calcium-independent PKC-epsilon in gastric acid secretion. 3. Inhibition of PKC-alpha by the indolocarbazole Gö 6976 revealed that about 28% of carbachol-induced acid secretion was inhibited by PKC-alpha. In the presence of Gö 6976 approximately 64% of the carbachol-induced signal transduction is mediated by Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII), and 14% is conveyed by PKC-epsilon as deduced from the inhibition with the bisindolylmaleimide Ro 31-8220. 4. Inhibition of carbachol-induced acid secretion by TPA was accompanied by a decrease in CaMKII activity. 5. The stimulation of basal acid secretion by TPA was biphasic with a peak at a very low concentration (10 pM), resulting in an activation of the calcium-sensor CaMKII. The activation was determined with a phosphospecific polyclonal antibody against active CaMKII. The TPA-induced increase of H(+) secretion was sensitive to the cell-permeable Ca(2+)-chelator BAPTA/AM, Ro 31-8220, and the CaMKII-inhibitor KN-62, but not to Gö 6976. 6. Since TPA induced the translocation of PKC-epsilon but not of PKC-alpha in resting parietal cells, PKC-epsilon seems to be at least responsible for an initial elevation of free intracellular calcium to initiate TPA-induced acid secretion. 7. Our data indicate the different roles of two PKC isoforms: PKC-epsilon activation appears to facilitate cholinergic stimulation of H(+)-secretion likely by increasing intracellular calcium. In contrast, PKC-alpha activation attenuates acid secretion accompanied by a down-regulation of CaMKII activity.

Abstract
The calcyclin-binding protein (CacyBP) binds calcyclin (S100A6) at physiological levels of [Ca(2+)] and is highly expressed in brain neurons. Subcellular localization of CacyBP was examined in neurons and neuroblastoma NB-2a cells at different [Ca(2+)](i). Immunostaining indicates that CacyBP is present in the cytoplasm of unstimulated cultured neurons in which resting [Ca(2+)](i) is known to be approximately 50 nm. When [Ca(2+)](i) was increased to above 300 nm by KCl treatment, the immunostaining was mainly apparent as a ring around the nucleus. Such perinuclear localization of CacyBP was observed in untreated neuroblastoma NB-2a cells in which [Ca(2+)](i) is approximately 120 nm. An additional increase in [Ca(2+)](i) to above 300 nm by thapsigargin treatment did not change CacyBP localization. However, when [Ca(2+)](i) in NB-2a cells dropped to 70 nm, because of BAPTA/AM treatment, perinuclear localization was diminished. Ca(2+)-induced translocation of CacyBP was confirmed by immunogold electron microscopy and by fluorescence of NB-2a cells transfected with an EGFP-CacyBP vector. Recombinant CacyBP can be phosphorylated by protein kinase C in vitro. In untreated neuroblastoma NB-2a cells, CacyBP is phosphorylated on a serine residue(s), but exists in the dephosphorylated form in BAPTA/AM-treated cells. Thus, phosphorylation of CacyBP occurs in the same [Ca(2+)](i) range that leads to its perinuclear translocation.

Abstract
In this study we characterized the subtypes of nucleotide P2Y receptors that respond to ADP in glioma C6 cells. Direct visualization of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate at the cell surface revealed that extracellular ADP activates phospholipase C (PLC). Knock-down of P2Y(1) receptor with antisense oligonucleotide, as well as treatment with MRS2179 and pyridoxal-phosphate-6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulfonic acid (P2Y(1) antagonists), attenuates receptor-mediated PLC activity. Adenylyl cyclase inhibition by ADP remains unchanged under these conditions. Reverse transcription-PCR analysis showed that P2Y(12) receptor is expressed in C6 cells. We therefore conclude that, in glioma C6 cells, two P2Y receptor subtypes are present: P2Y(1), coupled to PLC, and P2Y(12), negatively coupled to adenylyl cyclase.

Abstract
Calcineurin is a ubiquitous calcium/calmodulin dependent protein phosphatase that has been shown to regulate the activity of ion channels, glutamate release, and synaptic plasticity. In the present study we show that CsA, a specific inhibitor of calcineurin, affects the survival of cultures developed from hippocampal dentate gyrus. Mixed neuronal-glial cultures exposed to 8 - 40 microM CsA undergo cell death characterized by apoptotic changes in cellular and nuclear morphology. TUNEL-positive staining was observed only in neurons that developed pyknotic morphology after treatment with 8 microM CsA for 24 - 72 h. Immunocytochemical staining with an anti-GFAP monoclonal antibody revealed that astrocytes from mixed neuronal/glial cultures were unaffected by exposure to CsA at doses toxic for neurons and all TUNEL-positive cells were neurons. MK-801, a noncompetitive inhibitor of glutamate receptor, does not inhibit the appearance of TUNEL-positive neurons and apoptotic changes in nuclear morphology. Preincubation of cells with 8 microM CsA increased basal intracellular calcium level in time dependent manner and decreased relative calcium response to glutamate. Application of 1 microM MK-801 had no effect on CsA-induced changes in Ca(2+) level. Our findings suggest that the neuronal death after CsA treatment is not a result of glutamate excitotoxicity and the increase in intracellular calcium concentration in neurons is not dependent on calcium influx via NMDA channel.

Abstract
PKC and the intracellular calcium signal are two well-known intracellular signaling pathways implicated in the induction of mast cell exocytosis. Both signals are modified by the presence or absence of HCO(3)(-) ions in the external medium. In this work, we studied the regulation of the exocytotic process by PKC isozymes and its relationship with HCO(3)(-) ions and PKC modulation of the calcium entry. The calcium entry, induced by thapsigargin and further addition of calcium, was inhibited by PMA, a PKC activator, and enhanced by 500 nM GF109203X, which inhibits Ca(2+)-independent PKC isoforms. PMA inhibition of the Ca(2+) entry was reverted by 500 and 50 nM GF109203X, which inhibit Ca(2+)-independent and Ca(2+)-dependent isoforms, respectively, and Gö6976, a specific inhibitor of Ca(2+)-dependent PKCs. Thus, activation of Ca(2+)-dependent and Ca(2+)-independent PKC isoforms inhibit Ca(2+) entry in rat mast cells, either in a HCO(3)(-)-buffered or a HCO(3)(-)-free medium. PMA, GF109203X, Gö6976 and rottlerin, a specific inhibitor of PKC delta, were also used to study the role of PKC isoforms in the regulation of exocytosis induced by thapsigargin, ionophore A23187 and PMA. The results demonstrate that Ca(2+)-dependent PKC isoforms inhibit exocytosis in a HCO(3)(-)-dependent way. Moreover, Ca(2+)-independent PKC delta was the main isoform implicated in promotion of Ca(2+)-dependent mast cell exocytosis in the presence or absence of HCO(3)(-). The role of PKC isoforms in the regulation of mast cell exocytosis depends on the stimulus and on the presence or absence of HCO(3)(-) ions in the medium, but it is independent of PKC modulation of the Ca(2+) entry.

Abstract
1. In glioma C6 cells, the stimulation of P2Y receptors by ADP, ATP and UTP initiated an increase in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration, in a process that involved the release of Ca2+ from InsP(3)-sensitive store and the capacitative, extracellular Ca2+ entry. The presence of external Ca2+ was not necessary to elevate Ca(2+). 2. The rank order of potencies of nucleotide analogues in stimulating [Ca2+](i) was: 2MeSADP > ADP > 2MeSATP = 2ClATP > ATP > UTP. alpha,beta-Methylene ATP, adenosine and AMP were ineffective. 3. ADP and UTP effects were additive, while actions of ATP and UTP were not additive on [Ca2+](i) increase. Similarly, cross-desensitization between ATP and UTP but not between ADP and UTP occurred. 4. Suramin, a non-specific nucleotide receptors inhibitor, antagonized ATP-, UTP- and ADP-evoked Ca2+ responses. PPADS, a selective antagonist of the P2Y(1) receptor-generated InsP(3) accumulation, decreased ADP-initiated Ca2+ response with no effect on ATP and UTP. 5. Pertussis toxin (PTX) reduced ADP- and ATP-induced Ca2+ increases. Short-term treatment with TPA, inhibited both ATP and ADP stimulatory effects on [Ca2+](i). 6. ADP inhibited isoproterenol-induced cyclic AMP accumulation. PTX blocked this effect, but PPADS did not. 7. RT - PCR analysis revealed the molecular identity of P2Y receptors expressed by glioma C6 cells to be both P2Y(1) and P2Y(2). 8. It is concluded that both P2Y(1) and P2Y(2) receptors co-exist in glioma C6 cells. ADP acts as agonist of the first, and ATP and UTP of the second one. Both receptors are linked to phospholipase C (PLC).

Abstract
The effect of extracellular ATP, a nucleotide receptor agonist in the central nervous system, was investigated in glioma C6 cells on the intracellular Ca2+ level and the formation of phosphatidylethanol and phosphatidic acid in the presence and absence of ethanol (150 mM). In the cells prelabeled with [14C]palmitic acid, 100 microM ATP induced both the hydrolysis and the transphosphatidylation reactions leading to the formation of [14C]phosphatidic acid; addition of ethanol generated [14C]phosphatidylethanol. However, ATP-mediated increase in the level of [14C]phosphatidic acid was not inhibited by ethanol. Furthermore, ethanol augmented ATP-induced transient and sustained increase in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration, whereas ethanol alone did not produce any change in the intracellular Ca2+ level. These results indicate that in glioma C6 cells, ATP induces activation of polyphosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C and phospholipase D and that ethanol enhances this effect. In the present investigation we have also shown that long-term (2 days) ethanol treatment, at concentration relevant to chronic alcoholism (100 mM), decreased the incorporation of [14C]serine into phosphatidylserine. Since the effect of ethanol on ATP-induced activities of phospholipase C and phospholipase D and on serine base-exchange in glioma C6 cells differs significantly from that in cultured neuronal cells, these results may contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms of ethanol action in cells of glial origin.

Abstract
C6 glioma - Ca2+ depletion - proliferation arrest morphology change - CDK inhibitor In this study, we investigated the role of the intracellular calcium store in modulating the cellular proliferation and the expression of cell cycle regulatory proteins in cultured C6 glioma cells. By means of microspectrofluorimetry and Ca(2+)-sensitive indicator fura-2, we found that the intracellular Ca2+ pump inhibitors, thapsigargin (TG) irreversibly and 2,5-ditert-butyl-hydroquinone (DBHQ) reversibly depleted the Ca(2+)-store accompanied with the induction of G0/G1 arrest, an increase in glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) expression and morphological changes from a round flat shape to a differentiated spindle-shaped cell. The machinery underlying these changes induced by Ca(2+)-store depletion was investigated. The results indicated that Ca(2+)-store depletion caused an increased expression of p21 and p27 proteins (cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors), with unchanged mutant p53 protein of C6 cells but reduced amounts of the cell cycle regulators: cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2), cdc2, cyclin C, cyclin D1, cyclin D3 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in a time-dependent manner. These findings indicate a new function of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+ store in regulating cellular proliferation rate through altering the expression of p21 and p27 proteins. Moreover, cellular differentiation as revealed by spindle-shaped morphology and induced GFAP expression were also modulated by the ER Ca2+ store. The implication of this finding is that the abnormal growth of cancer cells such as C6 glioma cells may be derived from a signalling of the ER which can be manipulated by depleting the Ca2+ store.

Abstract
Activation of protein kinase C has been shown to reduce the Ca(2+) responses of a variety of cell types. In most cases, the reduction is due to inhibition of Ca(2+) influx, but acceleration of Ca(2+) efflux and inhibition of Ca(2+) store depletion by protein kinase C activation have also been described. For adherent RBL-2H3 mucosal mast cells, results from whole-cell patch clamp experiments suggest that protein kinase C activation reduces Ca(2+) influx, while experiments with intact, fura-2-loaded cells suggest that Ca(2+) influx is not affected. Here we present single-cell data from Ca(2+) imaging experiments with adherent RBL-2H3 cells, showing that antigen-stimulated Ca(2+) responses of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-treated cells are more transient than those of control cells. PMA also reduced the response to antigen in the absence of extracellular Ca(2+), indicating that depletion of intracellular Ca(2+) stores is inhibited. If PMA was added after stores had been depleted by thapsigargin, a small decrease in [Ca(2+)](i) was observed, consistent with a slight inhibition of Ca(2+) influx. However, the major effect of PMA on the antigen-stimulated Ca(2+) response is to inhibit depletion of intracellular Ca(2+) stores. We also show that inhibition of protein kinase C did not enhance the Ca(2+) response to antigen, suggesting that inhibition of the Ca(2+) response by activation of protein kinase C does not contribute to the physiological response to antigen.

Abstract
One of the most important intracellular Ca2+ regulatory mechanisms in nonexcitable cells, "capacitative Ca2+ entry" (CCE), has not been adequately studied in astrocytes. We therefore investigated whether CCE exists in cultured rat cerebellar astrocytes and studied the roles of cyclic AMP (cAMP) and protein kinase C (PKC) in CCE. We found that (1) at least two different intracellular Ca2+ stores, the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria, are present in cerebellar astrocytes; (2) CCE does exist in these cells and can be inhibited by Ni2+, miconazole, and SKF 96365; (3) CCE can be directly enhanced by an increase in intracellular cAMP, as 8-bromoadenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (8-brcAMP), forskolin, and isobutylmethylxanthine have stimulatory effects on CCE; and (4) neither of the two potent protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitors, H8 and H89, nor a specific PKA agonist, Sp-adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphothioate, had a significant effect on cAMP-enhanced Ca2+ entry. The [Ca2+]i increase was not due to a release from calcium stores, hyperpolarization of the membrane potential, inhibition of calcium extrusion, or a change in pHi, suggesting that cAMP itself probably acts as a novel messenger to modulate CCE. We also conclude that activation of PKC results in an increase in CCE. cAMP and PKC seem to modulate CCE by different pathways.

Abstract
The effect of sphingosine and 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) on ATP-evoked Ca(2+) mobilization in glioma C6 cells was studied with the Fura-2 video-imaging technique. Treatment of the cells with TPA, an activator of protein kinase C, reduced the ATP-evoked release of Ca(2+) from the intracellular stores, whereas sphingosine, known from in vitro studies as a protein kinase C inhibitor, potentiated Ca(2+) release synergistically with ATP. ATP-induced Ca(2+) mobilization was also enhanced by a specific protein kinase C inhibitor, GF 109203X. Pretreatment of the cells with GF 109203X prevented TPA action, whereas TPA diminished the stimulatory effect of sphingosine. However, this sphingosine effect was only observed after a short (1 min) treatment, whereas a longer treatment (5 min) reduced ATP-evoked Ca(2+) release. It is therefore concluded that sphingosine has two apparent actions: it inhibits protein kinase C providing a positive feedback regulation of receptor signals and it releases Ca(2+) from intracellular stores by an unknown mechanism, possibly independent of protein kinase C.

Abstract
Glioma C6 cells were transfected with a plasmid containing the calretinin (CR) and green fluorescent protein (GFP) coding regions to analyze the effect of CR's presence on [Ca2+]i. Positive transfectants were identified by the detection of GFP and [Ca2+]i was measured using fura-2 as a probe. We found that neither the basic [Ca2+]i nor activated [Ca2+]i achieved by exposure to ionomycin, ADP or thapsigargin were affected by CR's presence in transfected cells, despite the ability of CR to bind Ca2+ as part of fusion protein. The level of expressed CR was estimated as at least 1 microM. The presented results suggest that CR's function is unlikely to be an intracellular Ca2+-buffer and support the hypothesis that CR might be involved in a specific Ca2+-dependent process. The results of this work also show that the S65T mutant of GFP is compatible with fura-2 measurements of intracellular [Ca2+]. We have demonstrated that the presence of GFP, as a transfection marker of glioma C6 cells, does not disturb fura-2 fluorescence, the basal or activated [Ca2+]i in these cells.

Abstract
It is well established that cellular Ca2+ is an important messenger that controls many nuclear functions but the source of nuclear Ca2+ is far from clear. It has long been thought that Ca2+ is translocated from the cytosol over a long distance to activate the nuclear transcription machinery. However, this model is at best an incomplete one. With the aid of confocal microscopy, we observed tubules extended deep inside the nucleus of C6 cells in agreement with previous studies (Fricker et al. (1997) J. Cell Biol. 136, 531-544). When cells were stimulated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate or phorbol 12,13-diacetate, Ca2+ was released from these tubules. DiOC6(3), a vital marker for intracellular membranes, stained the tubule in the nucleus of the same cell used for Ca2+ imaging. Moreover, results from labelling the cells with rhodamine 123 further indicate that the tubule was formed by a double-membraned invagination with mitochondria inside. Studies with acridine orange showed that chromatin was excluded from the tubules. Taken together, our results demonstrate that the nuclear tubule is a structural entity responsible for the release of Ca2+ into the nucleoplasm after stimulation with phorbol ester.

Abstract
Hyperglycemia and/or hyperosmolality may disturb calcium homeostasis in vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs), leading to altered vascular contractility in diabetes. To test this hypothesis, the KCl-induced increases in [Ca2+]i in primarily cultured vascular SMCs exposed to different concentrations of glucose were examined. With glucose concentration in solutions kept at 5.5 mM, KCl induced a fast increase in [Ca2+]i which then slowly declined (type 1 response) in 83% of SMCs from non-diabetic rats. In 9% of non-diabetic SMCs KCl induced a slow increase in [Ca2+]i (type 2 response). Interestingly, under the same culture conditions KCl induced type 1 and type 2 responses in 47 and 35% of SMCs from diabetic rats. When SMCs from non-diabetic or diabetic rats were cultured in 36 mM glucose, KCl induced a fast increase in [Ca2+]i which, however, maintained at a high level (type 3 response). The sustained level of [Ca2+]i in the presence of KCl was significantly higher in cells cultured with 36 mM glucose than that in non-diabetic cells cultured with 5.5 mM glucose. Furthermore, the hyperglycemia-induced alterations in calcium mobilization were similarly observed in cells cultured in high concentration of mannitol (30.5 mM) or L-glucose, indicating that hyperosmolality was mainly responsible for the abnormal calcium mobilization in diabetic SMCs.

Abstract
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is believed to produce intracellular calcium (Ca2+i) transients by inositol trisphosphate (InsP3)-mediated release of intracellular Ca2+ stores followed by "capacitative" Ca2+ entry due to emptying of these stores. We examined the roles for the phospholipase Cgamma-InsP3 pathway and the emptying of InsP3-dependent intracellular Ca2+ stores in PDGF-mediated Ca2+ entry. Intracellular Ca2+ release and Ca2+ entry were measured with fluorometric methods in Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing wild type or mutant PDGF receptors. Activation of the wild type PDGF receptor caused both intracellular "Ca2+ release, " measured in nominally 0 Ca2+ extracellular medium, and "Ca2+ entry, " measured upon addition of 2 mM Ca2+ medium. Both phases were absent in Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing a PDGF receptor mutant (Y977F,Y989F) that fails to bind phospholipase Cgamma. Blockade of the InsP3 receptor, by microinjection of single cells with low molecular weight heparin (5-50 mg/ml), blocked only Ca2+i release (following PDGF or flash photolysis of caged InsP3) and had no effect on PDGF-induced Ca2+ entry. In whole cell patch-clamp experiments, intracellular heparin also failed to block PDGF-evoked ion currents. Release of InsP3-dependent intracellular Ca2+ stores, by flash photolysis of caged InsP3, was apparently not sufficient to maximally activate Ca2+ entry. Intracellular InsP3 caused significantly less Ca2+ entry than PDGF alone. These data suggest that InsP3 alone is not sufficient to maximally activate Ca2+ entry by the capacitative pathway and that products of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate breakdown other than InsP3 probably play a role in PDGF-mediated Ca2+ entry.

Abstract
In glioma C6 cells, extracellular ATP generates inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3), indicating the presence of purinergic receptors coupled to phosphoinositide turnover. To identify the effect of ATP (acting via InsP3) and thapsigargin (acting without InsP3 production as a specific inhibitor of the endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase) on intracellular Ca2+ pools we used video imaging of Fura-2 loaded into single, intact glioma C6 cells. It has been shown that ATP and thapsigargin initiate Ca2+ response consistent with the capacitative model of Ca2+ influx. When the cells were stimulated by increasing concentrations of ATP (1, 10, 50 and 100 microM) the graded, quantal Ca2+ response was observed. In the absence of extracellular Ca2+ thapsigargin and ionomycin-releasable Ca2+ pools are overlapping, demonstrating that Ca2+ stores are located mainly in the endoplasmic reticulum. After maximal Ca2+ mobilization by ATP, thapsigargin causes further increase in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration, whereas emptying of thapsigargin-sensitive intracellular stores prevents any further Ca2+ release by ATP. Thus, the thapsigargin-sensitive intracellular pool of Ca2+ in glioma C6 cells seems to be larger than that sensitive to InsP3. Two hypothesis to explain this result are proposed. One postulates a presence of two different Ca2+ pools, sensitive and insensitive to InsP3 and both discharged by thapsigargin, and the other, the same intracellular pool of Ca2+ completely emptying by thapsigargin and only partially by InsP3. These results may contribute to understanding the mechanism of Ca2+ signalling mediated by ATP, the most potent intracellular Ca2+ mobilizing agonist in all types of glial cells.

Abstract
Recently, we presented evidence for the localization of components of the cellular Ca2+ signaling pathway in microvilli. On stimulation of this pathway, microvilli undergo characteristic morphological changes which can be detected by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of the cell surface. Here we show that both receptor-mediated (vasopressin) and unspecific stimulation of the Ca2+ signaling system by the lipophilic tumor promoters thapsigargin (TG) and phorbolmyristateacetate (PMA) are accompanied by the same type of morphological changes of the cell surface. Since stimulated cell proliferation accelerates tumor development and sustained elevation of the intracellular Ca2+ concentrations is a precondition for stimulated cell proliferation, activated Ca2+ signaling is one possible mechanism of non-genomic tumor promotion. Using isolated rat hepatocytes we show that all tested lipophilic chemicals with known tumor promoter action, caused characteristic microvillar shape changes. On the other hand, lipophilic solvents that were used as differentiating agents in cell cultures such as dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and dimethylformamide also, failed to change the microvillar shapes. Instead DMSO stabilized the original appearance of microvilli. The used technique provides a convenient method for the evaluation of non-genomic carcinogenicity of chemicals prior to their industrial application.

Abstract
Transmembrane Ca(2+)-flux was studied from single isolated turtle hepatocytes by using a noninvasive Ca(2+)-selective self-referencing microelectrode. Cells in Ca(2+)-reduced culture medium demonstrated a vanadate- and lanthanum-inhibitable Ca(2+)-efflux of 4 x 10(-17) mol Ca2+. microns-2. s-1 continuously over 170 h. This flux diminished with 50 nM phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, a protein kinase C (PKC) activator, and was reinstated on PKC deactivation with sphingosine. Progressive hypoxia resulted in a reversible suppression of Ca2+ efflux to 90% of normoxic controls with an apparent Michaelis constant for oxygen of 145 microM. PKC activation was critical in this suppression, as anaerobic administration of sphingosine caused a Ca2+ influx and cell rupture. Hypoxia was also associated with an altered pattern of adenosine-mediated control over Ca2+ efflux. Adenosine (100 microM) elevated Ca2+ efflux twofold in normoxia, but neither adenosine nor the A1-purinoreceptor antagonist 8-phenyltheophylline altered the observed anaerobic suppression. Aerobic administration of 2-10 mM KCN failed to reproduce the anaerobic suppression; however, in conjunction with 10 mM iodoacetate, complete metabolic blockade caused a Ca2+ influx and cell rupture. These observations suggest modulatory control by oxygen over transmembrane Ca2+ efflux involving second-messenger systems in the hypoxic transition.

Abstract
In NIH 3T3 cells, treatment with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) reduced the release of Ca2+ by thapsigargin, but did not activate Ca2+ entry; Ca2+ influx was triggered after the residual pool was emptied by thapsigargin, and this Ca2+ influx was similar to that induced by thapsigargin in control cells. The effect of PMA was due to decreased Ca2+ storage because 1) Ca2+ release by ionomycin was similarly affected by PMA, and in both control and PMA-treated cells, ionomycin did not release Ca2+ following thapsigargin treatment; 2) PMA reduced 45Ca2+ accumulation; and 3) studies with Ca2+ indicator compartmentalized into the endoplasmic reticulum indicated that stored Ca2+ was reduced by PMA. Although PMA did not itself activate Ca2+ entry, PMA potentiated Ca2+ entry with low concentrations of cyclopiazonic acid. With a somewhat higher concentration of cyclopiazonic acid, PMA had no effect on calcium entry. Thus, protein kinase C has two apparent actions on calcium signaling in NIH 3T3 cells: 1) reduced intracellular Ca2+ storage capacity and 2) augmented calcium entry with submaximal intracellular Ca2+ pool depletion. These actions indicate a complex and potentially important role for the protein kinase C system in calcium homeostasis in this cell type.

Abstract
We have previously shown that two intracellular events which occur during capacitation of bovine sperm are the formation of actin filaments on the plasma and outer acrosomal membranes and the attachment of a PIP2-specific phospholipase C (PLC) to this membrane bound F-actin. This PLC plays an essential role in sperm exocytosis (acrosome reaction). In the present report, we further elucidated the role of this PLC using a PIP2-specific PLC of bacterial origin. This PLC is different from the endogenous sperm PLC in that it is calcium independent and not inhibited by neomycin. Here we report using bovine sperm that this bacterial PLC can restore actin release from extracted membranes as well as membrane fusion in a cell-free assay when the endogenous PLC is inhibited by neomycin. The sperm PLC requires 2 microM calcium for half maximal activation, while half maximal actin release from extracted plasma membranes occurs at 80 microM. Extracted sperm membranes were examined for calcium pumps and channels. Sperm plasma membranes were found to possess a thapsigargin insensitive calcium pump and calcium channels which are opened by phosphorylation by protein kinase C. The acrosomal membrane possesses a calcium pump which is inhibited by thapsigargin and calcium channels which are opened by cAMP. These observations are discussed in terms of a model of acrosomal exocytosis which involves a calcium rise that occurs in two stages resulting from calcium mobilization from internal stores followed by influx of extracellular calcium.
