Evans AM. On a Magical Mystery Tour with 8-Bromo-Cyclic ADP-Ribose: From All-or-None Block to Nanojunctions and the Cell-Wide Web. Molecules 2020; 25:E4768. [PMID: 33081414 PMCID: PMC7587525 DOI: 10.3390/molecules25204768] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2020] [Accepted: 09/08/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
A plethora of cellular functions are controlled by calcium signals, that are greatly coordinated by calcium release from intracellular stores, the principal component of which is the sarco/endooplasmic reticulum (S/ER). In 1997 it was generally accepted that activation of various G protein-coupled receptors facilitated inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) production, activation of IP3 receptors and thus calcium release from S/ER. Adding to this, it was evident that S/ER resident ryanodine receptors (RyRs) could support two opposing cellular functions by delivering either highly localised calcium signals, such as calcium sparks, or by carrying propagating, global calcium waves. Coincidentally, it was reported that RyRs in mammalian cardiac myocytes might be regulated by a novel calcium mobilising messenger, cyclic adenosine diphosphate-ribose (cADPR), that had recently been discovered by HC Lee in sea urchin eggs. A reputedly selective and competitive cADPR antagonist, 8-bromo-cADPR, had been developed and was made available to us. We used 8-bromo-cADPR to further explore our observation that S/ER calcium release via RyRs could mediate two opposing functions, namely pulmonary artery dilation and constriction, in a manner seemingly independent of IP3Rs or calcium influx pathways. Importantly, the work of others had shown that, unlike skeletal and cardiac muscles, smooth muscles might express all three RyR subtypes. If this were the case in our experimental system and cADPR played a role, then 8-bromo-cADPR would surely block one of the opposing RyR-dependent functions identified, or the other, but certainly not both. The latter seemingly implausible scenario was confirmed. How could this be, do cells hold multiple, segregated SR stores that incorporate different RyR subtypes in receipt of spatially segregated signals carried by cADPR? The pharmacological profile of 8-bromo-cADPR action supported not only this, but also indicated that intracellular calcium signals were delivered across intracellular junctions formed by the S/ER. Not just one, at least two. This article retraces the steps along this journey, from the curious pharmacological profile of 8-bromo-cADPR to the discovery of the cell-wide web, a diverse network of cytoplasmic nanocourses demarcated by S/ER nanojunctions, which direct site-specific calcium flux and may thus coordinate the full panoply of cellular processes.

Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to discuss evidence concerning the many roles of calcium ions, Ca2+, in cell signaling pathways that control heart function. Before considering details of these signaling pathways, the control of contraction in ventricular muscle by Ca2+ transients accompanying cardiac action potentials is first summarized, together with a discussion of how myocytes from the atrial and pacemaker regions of the heart diverge from this basic scheme. Cell signaling pathways regulate the size and timing of the Ca2+ transients in the different heart regions to influence function. The simplest Ca2+ signaling elements involve enzymes that are regulated by cytosolic Ca2+. Particularly important examples to be discussed are those that are stimulated by Ca2+, including Ca2+-calmodulin-dependent kinase (CaMKII), Ca2+ stimulated adenylyl cyclases, Ca2+ stimulated phosphatase and NO synthases. Another major aspect of Ca2+ signaling in the heart concerns actions of the Ca2+ mobilizing agents, inositol trisphosphate (IP3), cADP-ribose (cADPR) and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate, (NAADP). Evidence concerning roles of these Ca2+ mobilizing agents in different regions of the heart is discussed in detail. The focus of the review will be on short term regulation of Ca2+ transients and contractile function, although it is recognized that Ca2+ regulation of gene expression has important long term functional consequences which will also be briefly discussed.

Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B is a mediator of cyclic ADP ribose-induced Ca 2+ signaling in ventricular myocytes. Exp Mol Med 2017; 49:e341. [PMID: 28572573 PMCID: PMC5519013 DOI: 10.1038/emm.2017.68] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2016] [Revised: 12/24/2016] [Accepted: 12/28/2016] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) releases Ca2+ from ryanodine receptor (RyR)-sensitive calcium pools in various cell types. In cardiac myocytes, the physiological levels of cADPR transiently increase the amplitude and frequency of Ca2+ (that is, a rapid increase and decrease of calcium within one second) during the cardiac action potential. In this study, we demonstrated that cADPR levels higher than physiological levels induce a slow and gradual increase in the resting intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) level over 10 min by inhibiting the sarcoendoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA). Higher cADPR levels mediate the tyrosine-dephosphorylation of α-actin by protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) present in the endoplasmic reticulum. The tyrosine dephosphorylation of α-actin dissociates phospholamban, the key regulator of SERCA, from α-actin and results in SERCA inhibition. The disruption of the integrity of α-actin by cytochalasin B and the inhibition of α-actin tyrosine dephosphorylation by a PTP1B inhibitor block cADPR-mediated Ca2+ increase. Our results suggest that levels of cADPR that are relatively higher than normal physiological levels modify calcium homeostasis through the dephosphorylation of α-actin by PTB1B and the subsequent inhibition of SERCA in cardiac myocytes.

Intracellular NAADP increase induced by extracellular NAADP via the P2Y11-like receptor. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2013; 436:199-203. [PMID: 23726915 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2013.04.110] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2013] [Accepted: 04/27/2013] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
The aim of the study was to identify a signalling pathway allowing NAADP-induced intracellular NAADP increase and involving the P2Y11-like receptor. P2Y11-like and β-adrenergic receptors may play important regulatory roles within the cardiovascular system. Both receptors have been shown to be involved in triggering myocardial preconditioning. Using a Langendorff model we report a positive inotropic response induced by extracellular NAADP via P2Y11-like receptor stimulation. In cardiomyocyte cultures, P2Y11-like receptor stimulation by extracellular NAADP ([NAADP]e) increased intracellular cADP-ribose and NAADP concentration as evidenced by direct measurements. NF546, a new selective P2Y11 receptor agonist, increased intracellular cAMP, cADP-ribose and NAADP concentration confirming the involvement of the P2Y11-like receptor in this signalling pathway. NF157, a P2Y11 receptor antagonist, suppressed the increase in intracellular cADPr, NAADP and NAAD induced by either [NAADP]e or NF546. The response profile for intracellular cADP-ribose and NAADP concentration following P2Y11-like stimulation with NF546 was similar to reported data relating β-adrenergic stimulation with isoprenaline. This response represents the signature of the Gs/ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity. Moreover, this study provides a signalling pathway: intracellular NAADP increase induced by extracellular NAADP via metabotropic activity of P2Y11-like receptor. This pathway implying P2Y11-like could take part in the intracellular calcium rise reported for extracellular NAADP.

Abstract
Evidence suggests that β-Adrenergic receptor signaling increases heart rate and force through not just cyclic AMP but also the Ca(2+)-releasing second messengers NAADP (nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate) and cADPR (cyclic ADP-ribose). Nevertheless, proof of the physiological relevance of these messengers requires direct measurements of their levels in response to receptor stimulation. Here we report that in intact Langendorff-perfused hearts β-adrenergic stimulation increased both messengers, with NAADP being transient and cADPR being sustained. Both NAADP and cADPR have physiological and therefore pathological relevance by providing alternative drug targets in the β-adrenergic receptor signaling pathway.

Abstract
Cyclic ADP-ribose and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate were discovered >2 decades ago. That they are second messengers for mobilizing Ca(2+) stores has since been firmly established. Separate stores and distinct Ca(2+) channels are targeted, with cyclic ADP-ribose acting on the ryanodine receptors in the endoplasmic reticulum, whereas nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate mobilizes the endolysosomes via the two-pore channels. Despite the structural and functional differences, both messengers are synthesized by a ubiquitous enzyme, CD38, whose crystal structure and catalytic mechanism have now been well elucidated. How this novel signaling enzyme is regulated remains largely unknown and is the focus of this minireview.

Abstract
The concept advanced by Berridge and colleagues that intracellular Ca(2+)-stores can be mobilized in an agonist-dependent and messenger (IP(3))-mediated manner has put Ca(2+)-mobilization at the center stage of signal transduction mechanisms. During the late 1980s, we showed that Ca(2+)-stores can be mobilized by two other messengers unrelated to inositol trisphosphate (IP(3)) and identified them as cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR), a novel cyclic nucleotide from NAD, and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP), a linear metabolite of NADP. Their messenger functions have now been documented in a wide range of systems spanning three biological kingdoms. Accumulated evidence indicates that the target of cADPR is the ryanodine receptor in the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum, while that of NAADP is the two pore channel in endolysosomes.As cADPR and NAADP are structurally and functionally distinct, it is remarkable that they are synthesized by the same enzyme. They are thus fraternal twin messengers. We first identified the Aplysia ADP-ribosyl cyclase as one such enzyme and, through homology, found its mammalian homolog, CD38. Gene knockout in mice confirms the important roles of CD38 in diverse physiological functions from insulin secretion, susceptibility to bacterial infection, to social behavior of mice through modulating neuronal oxytocin secretion. We have elucidated the catalytic mechanisms of the Aplysia cyclase and CD38 to atomic resolution by crystallography and site-directed mutagenesis. This article gives a historical account of the cADPR/NAADP/CD38-signaling pathway and describes current efforts in elucidating the structure and function of its components.

Abstract
Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) is a second messenger modulating intracellular calcium levels. We have previously described a cADPR-dependent calcium signaling pathway in bovine rod outer segments (ROS), where calcium ions play a pivotal role. ROS ADP-ribosyl cyclase (ADPR-cyclase) was localized in the membrane fraction. In the present work, we examined the properties of the disk ADPR-cyclase through the production of cyclic GDP-ribose from the NAD(+) analogue NGD(+). The enzyme displayed an estimated K(m) for NGD(+) of 12.5 ± 0.3 μM, a V(max) of 26.50 ± 0.70 pmol cyclic GDP-ribose synthesized/min/mg, and optimal pH of 6.5. The effect of divalent cations (Zn(2+), Cu(2+), and Ca(2+)) was also tested. Micromolar Zn(2+) and Cu(2+) inhibited the disk ADPR-cyclase activity (half maximal inhibitory concentration, IC50=1.1 and 3.6 μM, respectively). By contrast, Ca(2+) ions had no effect. Interestingly, the properties of the intracellular membrane-associated ROS disk ADPR-cyclase are more similar to those of the ADPR-cyclase found in CD38-deficient mouse brain, than to those of CD38 or CD157. The novel intracellular mammalian ADPR-cyclase would elicit Ca(2+) release from the disks at various rates in response to change in free Ca(2+) concentrations, caused by light versus dark adaptation, in fact there was no difference in disk ADPR-cyclase activity in light or dark conditions. Data suggest that disk ADPR-cyclase may be a potential target of retinal toxicity of Zn(2+) and may shed light to the role of Cu(2+) and Zn(2+) deficiency in retina.

Abstract
Contractility of airway smooth muscle requires elevation of intracellular calcium concentration. Under resting conditions, airway smooth muscle cells maintain a relatively low intracellular calcium concentration, and activation of the surface receptors by contractile agonists results in an elevation of intracellular calcium, culminating in contraction of the cell. The pattern of elevation of intracellular calcium brought about by agonists is a dynamic process and involves the coordinated activities of ion channels located in the plasma membrane and the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Among the signaling molecules involved in this dynamic calcium regulation in airway smooth muscle cells are inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and cyclic ADP-ribose, which mobilize calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum by acting via the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and ryanodine receptors, respectively. In addition, calcium influx from the extracellular space is critical for the repletion of the intracellular calcium stores during activation of the cells by agonists. Calcium influx can occur via voltage- and receptor-gated channels in the plasma membrane, as well as by influx that is triggered by depletion of the intracellular stores (i.e., store-operated calcium entry mechanism). Transient receptor potential proteins appear to mediate the calcium influx via receptor- and store-operated channels. Recent studies have shown that proinflammatory cytokines regulate the expression and activity of the pathways involved in intracellular calcium regulation, thereby contributing to airway smooth muscle cell hyperresponsiveness. In this review, we will discuss the specific roles of cyclic ADP-ribose/ryanodine receptor channels and transient receptor potential channels in the regulation of intracellular calcium in airway smooth muscle cells.

Abstract
NAADP (nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate) is a recently discovered second messenger, and as such, we have much yet to learn about its functions in health and disease. A bottleneck in this basic research is due to NAADP, like all second messengers, being charged to prevent it from leaking out of cells. This makes for effective biology, but imposes difficulties in experiments, as it must be injected, loaded via liposomes, or electroporated, techniques that are highly technically demanding and are possible only in certain single cell preparations. For the better understood second messenger inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, great success has been obtained with cell-permeant derivatives where the charged groups are masked through esterification. We now report NAADP-AM as a cell-permeant analogue of NAADP that is taken up into cells and induces NAADP-mediated Ca(2+) signalling. NAADP-AM is a powerful chemical tool that will be of enormous biological utility in a wide range of systems and will greatly facilitate research into the role of NAADP in health and disease.

Abstract
The measurement of changes in nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) levels in cells has been, and remains, key to the investigation of the functions of NAADP as a Ca2+-releasing second messenger. Here we provide details of how to isolate NAADP from cells by extraction with perchloric acid and then measure the NAADP using a radioreceptor assay. We demonstrate that NAADP is neither generated nor broken down during sample processing conditions and that radioreceptor assay is highly selective for the detection of NAADP under cell extract conditions. Furthermore, a number of improvements, such as solid-state detection of the radioactivity, are incorporated to enhance the safety of the procedure. Finally, we have developed a new method to prevent the endogenous metabolism of NAADP by chelating Ca2+ with bis-(o-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA), thereby reducing the difficulty of catching a small transient rise in NAADP levels. In summary, we have refined and improved a method for measuring NAADP levels and presented it in a manner accessible to a wide range of laboratories. It is expected that this will enhance research in the NAADP field.

Abstract
beta-NAD(+) is as abundant as ATP in neuronal cells. beta-NAD(+) functions not only as a coenzyme but also as a substrate. beta-NAD(+)-utilizing enzymes are involved in signal transduction. We focus on ADP-ribosyl cyclase/CD38 which synthesizes cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR), a universal Ca(2+) mobilizer from intracellular stores, from beta-NAD(+). cADPR acts through activation/modulation of ryanodine receptor Ca(2+) releasing Ca(2+) channels. cADPR synthesis in neuronal cells is stimulated or modulated via different pathways and various factors. Subtype-specific coupling of various neurotransmitter receptors with ADP-ribosyl cyclase confirms the involvement of the enzyme in signal transduction in neurons and glial cells. Moreover, cADPR/CD38 is critical in oxytocin release from the hypothalamic cell dendrites and nerve terminals in the posterior pituitary. Therefore, it is possible that pharmacological manipulation of intracellular cADPR levels through ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity or synthetic cADPR analogues may provide new therapeutic opportunities for treatment of neurodevelopmental disorders.

Abstract
The role of cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) and its synthetic enzyme, CD38, as a downstream signal of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) was examined in neuroblastoma cells expressing M1 mAChRs (NGM1). NGM1 cells were further transformed with both wild-type and mutant (C119K/C201E) human CD38. The dual transformed cells exhibited higher cADPR formation than ADPR production and elevated intracellular free Ca(2+) concentrations ([Ca(2+)](i)) in response to ACh. These phenotypes were analyzed in detail in a representative CD38 clone. The intracellular cADPR concentration by ACh application was significantly increased by CD38 overexpression. Digital image analysis by a confocal microscopy revealed that topographical distribution of the sites of Ca(2+) release was unchanged between control and overexpressed cells. These results indicate that cADPR is an intracellular messenger of Ca(2+) signalling, suggesting that CD38 can contribute to mAChR-cADPR signalling.

Abstract
In smooth muscle, Ca(2+) controls diverse activities including cell division, contraction and cell death. Of particular significance in enabling Ca(2+) to perform these multiple functions is the cell's ability to localize Ca(2+) signals to certain regions by creating high local concentrations of Ca(2+) (microdomains), which differ from the cytoplasmic average. Microdomains arise from Ca(2+) influx across the plasma membrane or release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) store. A single Ca(2+) channel can create a microdomain of several micromolar near (approximately 200 nm) the channel. This concentration declines quickly with peak rates of several thousand micromolar per second when influx ends. The high [Ca(2+)] and the rapid rates of decline target Ca(2+) signals to effectors in the microdomain with rapid kinetics and enable the selective activation of cellular processes. Several elements within the cell combine to enable microdomains to develop. These include the brief open time of ion channels, localization of Ca(2+) by buffering, the clustering of ion channels to certain regions of the cell and the presence of membrane barriers, which restrict the free diffusion of Ca(2+). In this review, the generation of microdomains arising from Ca(2+) influx across the plasma membrane and the release of the ion from the SR Ca(2+) store will be discussed and the contribution of mitochondria and the Golgi apparatus as well as endogenous modulators (e.g. cADPR and channel binding proteins) will be considered.

Abstract
The ryanodine receptor has been mainly regarded as the Ca2+ release channel from sarcoplasmic reticulum controlling skeletal and cardiac muscle contraction. However, many studies have shown that it is widely expressed, with functions not restricted to muscular contraction. This study examined whether ryanodine receptor plays a role in calcium signaling in the liver. RT-PCR analysis of isolated hepatocytes showed expression of a truncated type 1 ryanodine receptor, but no type 2 or type 3 message was detected. We also detected binding sites for [3H]ryanodine in the microsomal cellular fraction and in permeabilized hepatocytes. This binding was displaced by caffeine and dantrolene, but not by ruthenium red, heparin or cyclic ADP-Ribose. Ryanodine, by itself, did not trigger Ca2+ oscillations in either primary cultured hepatocytes or hepatocytes within the intact perfused rat liver. In both preparations, however, ryanodine significantly increased the frequency of the cytosolic free [Ca2+] oscillations evoked by an alpha1 adrenergic receptor agonist. Experiments in permeabilized hepatocytes showed that both ryanodine and cyclic ADP-ribose evoked a slow Ca2+ leak from intracellular stores and were able to increase the Ca2+-released response to a subthreshold dose of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate. Our findings suggest the presence of a novel truncated form of the type 1 ryanodine receptor in rat hepatocytes. Ryanodine modulates the pattern of cytosolic free [Ca2+] oscillations by increasing oscillation frequency. We propose that the Ca2+ released from ryanodine receptors on the endoplasmic reticulum provides an increased pool of Ca2+ for positive feedback on inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors.

Abstract
The transmembrane glycoprotein CD38 in airway smooth muscle is the source of cyclic-ADP ribose, an intracellular calcium-releasing molecule, and is subject to regulatory effects of cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-13, a cytokine implicated in asthma. We investigated the role of CD38 in airway hyperresponsiveness using a mouse model of IL-13-induced airway disease. Wild-type (WT) and CD38-deficient (CD38KO) mice were intranasally challenged with 5 microg of IL-13 three times on alternate days under isoflurane anesthesia. Lung resistance (R(L)) in response to inhaled methacholine was measured 24 h after the last challenge in pentobarbital-anesthetized, tracheostomized, and mechanically ventilated mice. Bronchoalveolar cytokines, bronchoalveolar and parenchymal inflammation, and smooth muscle contractility and relaxation using tracheal segments were also evaluated. Changes in methacholine-induced R(L) were significantly greater in the WT than in the CD38KO mice following intranasal IL-13 challenges. Airway reactivity after IL-13 exposure, as measured by the slope of the methacholine dose-response curve, was significantly higher in the WT than in the CD38KO mice. The rate of isometric force generation in tracheal segments (e.g., smooth muscle reactivity) was greater in the WT than in the CD38KO mice following incubation with IL-13. IL-13 treatment reduced isoproterenol-induced relaxations to similar magnitudes in tracheal segments obtained from WT and CD38KO mice. Both WT and CD38KO mice developed significant bronchoalveolar and parenchymal inflammation after IL-13 challenges compared with naïve controls. The results indicate that CD38 contributes to airway hyperresponsiveness in lungs exposed to IL-13 at least partly by increasing airway smooth muscle reactivity to contractile agonists.

Abstract
All cells respond to metabolic stress. However, a variety of specialized cells, commonly referred to as O2-sensing cells, are acutely sensitive to relatively small changes in PO2. Within a variety of organisms such O2-sensing cells have evolved as vital homeostatic mechanisms that monitor O2 supply and alter respiratory and circulatory function, as well as the capacity of the blood to transport O2. Thereby, arterial PO2 may be maintained within physiological limits. In mammals, for example, two key tissues that contribute to this process are the pulmonary arteries and the carotid bodies. Constriction of pulmonary arteries by hypoxia optimizes ventilation-perfusion matching in the lung, whilst carotid body excitation by hypoxia initiates corrective changes in breathing patterns via increased sensory afferent discharge to the brain stem. Despite extensive investigation, the precise mechanism(s) by which hypoxia mediates these responses has remained elusive. It is clear, however, that hypoxia inhibits mitochondrial function in O2-sensing cells over a range of PO2 that has no such effect on other cell types. This raised the possibility that AMP-activated protein kinase might function to couple mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation to Ca2+ signalling mechanisms in O2-sensing cells and thereby underpin pulmonary artery constriction and carotid body excitation by hypoxia. Our recent investigations have provided significant evidence in support of this view.

Abstract
cADPR (cADP-ribose), a metabolite of NAD+, is known to modulate intracellular calcium levels and to be involved in calcium-dependent processes, including synaptic transmission, plasticity and neuronal excitability. However, the enzyme that is responsible for producing cADPR in the cytoplasm of neural cells, and particularly at the synaptic terminals of neurons, remains unknown. In the present study, we show that endogenous concentrations of cADPR are much higher in embryonic and neonate mouse brain compared with the adult tissue. We also demonstrate, by comparing wild-type and Cd38-/- tissues, that brain cADPR content is independent of the presence of CD38 (the best characterized mammalian ADP-ribosyl cyclase) not only in adult but also in developing tissues. We show that Cd38-/- synaptosome preparations contain high ADP-ribosyl cyclase activities, which are more important in neonates than in adults, in line with the levels of endogenous cyclic nucleotide. By using an HPLC method and adapting the cycling assay developed initially to study endogenous cADPR, we accurately examined the properties of the synaptosomal ADP-ribosyl cyclase. This intracellular enzyme has an estimated K(m) for NAD+ of 21 microM, a broad optimal pH at 6.0-7.0, and the concentration of free calcium has no major effect on its cADPR production. It binds NGD+ (nicotinamide-guanine dinucleotide), which inhibits its NAD+-metabolizing activities (K(i)=24 microM), despite its incapacity to cyclize this analogue. Interestingly, it is fully inhibited by low (micromolar) concentrations of zinc. We propose that this novel mammalian ADP-ribosyl cyclase regulates the production of cADPR and therefore calcium levels within brain synaptic terminals. In addition, this enzyme might be a potential target of neurotoxic Zn2+.

Abstract
It is generally accepted that the mobilisation of intracellular Ca2+ stores plays a pivotal role in the regulation of arterial smooth muscle function, paradoxically during both contraction and relaxation. However, the spatiotemporal pattern of different Ca2+ signals that elicit such responses may also contribute to the regulation of, for example, differential gene expression. These findings, among others, demonstrate the importance of discrete spatiotemporal Ca2+ signalling patterns and the mechanisms that underpin them. Of fundamental importance in this respect is the realisation that different Ca2+ storing organelles may be selected by the discrete or coordinated actions of multiple Ca2+ mobilising messengers. When considering such messengers, it is generally accepted that sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) stores may be mobilised by the ubiquitous messenger inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate. However, relatively little attention has been paid to the role of Ca2+ mobilising pyridine nucleotides in arterial smooth muscle, namely, cyclic adenosine diphosphate-ribose (cADPR) and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP). This review will therefore focus on these novel mechanisms of calcium signalling and their likely therapeutic potential.

Abstract
The present study tested the hypothesis that cyclic ADP ribose (cADPR) serves as a novel second messenger to mediate intracellular Ca2+ mobilization in coronary arterial endothelial cells (CAECs) and thereby contributes to endothelium-dependent vasodilation. In isolated and perfused small bovine coronary arteries, bradykinin (BK)-induced concentration-dependent vasodilation was significantly attenuated by 8-bromo-cADPR (a cell-permeable cADPR antagonist), ryanodine (an antagonist of ryanodine receptors), or nicotinamide (an ADP-ribosyl cyclase inhibitor). By in situ simultaneously fluorescent monitoring, Ca2+ transient and nitric oxide (NO) levels in the intact coronary arterial endothelium preparation, 8-bromo-cADPR (30 microM), ryanodine (50 microM), and nicotinamide (6 mM) substantially attenuated BK (1 microM)-induced increase in intracellular [Ca2+] by 78%, 80%, and 74%, respectively, whereas these compounds significantly blocked BK-induced NO increase by about 80%, and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor blockade with 2-aminethoxydiphenyl borate (50 microM) only blunted BK-induced Ca2+-NO signaling by about 30%. With the use of cADPR-cycling assay, it was found that inhibition of ADP-ribosyl cyclase by nicotinamide substantially blocked BK-induced intracellular cADPR production. Furthermore, HPLC analysis showed that the conversion rate of beta-nicotinamide guanine dinucleotide into cyclic GDP ribose dramatically increased by stimulation with BK, which was blockable by nicotinamide. However, U-73122, a phospholipase C inhibitor, had no effect on this BK-induced increase in ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity for cADPR production. In conclusion, these results suggest that cADPR importantly contributes to BK- and A-23187-induced NO production and vasodilator response in coronary arteries through its Ca2+ signaling mechanism in CAECs.

Abstract
The effects of cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) and the immunosuppressant drug FK506 on microsomal Ca2+ release through a ryanodine-sensitive mechanism were investigated in rat pancreatic acinar cells. After a steady state of 45Ca2+ uptake into the microsomal vesicles, ryanodine or caffeine was added. Preincubation of the vesicles with cADPR (0.5 microM) shifted the dose-response curve of ryanodine- or caffeine-induced 45Ca2+ release from the vesicles to the left. Preincubation with cADPR shifted the dose-response curve of the FK506-induced 45Ca2+ release upward. Preincubation with FK506 (3 microM) shifted the dose-response curve of the ryanodine- or caffeine-induced 45Ca2+ release to the left by the same extent as that in the case of cADPR. FK506 shifted the dose-response curve of the cADPR-induced 45Ca2+ release upward. The presence of both cADPR and FK506 enhanced the ryanodine (30 microM)- or caffeine (10 mM)-induced 45Ca2+ release by the same extent as that in the case of cADPR alone or FK506 alone. These results indicate that cADPR and FK506 modulate the ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+ release mechanism of rat pancreatic acinar cells by increasing the ryanodine or caffeine sensitivity to the mechanism. In addition, there is a possibility that the mechanisms of modulation by cADPR and FK506 are the same.

Abstract
Calcium may play a key role in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced release of calcitonin gene-related peptide in rat dorsal root ganglion neurons. Both calcium entry via voltage-activated calcium channels sensitive to either omega-conotoxin GVIA or omega-agatoxin IVA, and calcium release from ryanodine-sensitive calcium stores were involved in this process. Cyclic ADP-ribose antagonist affected neither the enhancement of cytoplasmic free calcium nor the release of calcitonin gene-related peptide induced by LPS. These findings underscore a pivotal role of calcium-induced calcium release in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated calcitonin gene-related peptide release from nociceptive neurons.

Abstract
Agrin has been implicated in multiple aspects of central nervous system (CNS) neuron differentiation and function including neurite formation, synaptogenesis, and synaptic transmission. However, little is known about the signaling mechanisms whereby agrin exerts its effects. We have recently identified a neuronal receptor for agrin, whose activation induces expression of c-fos, and provided evidence that agrin binding to this receptor is associated with a rise in intracellular Ca2+, a ubiquitous second messenger capable of mediating a wide range of effects. To gain further insight into agrin's role in brain, we used Ca2+ imaging to explore agrin signal transduction in cultured cortical neurons. Bath application of either z+ or z-agrin isoforms resulted in marked changes in intracellular Ca2+ concentration specifically in neurons. Propagation of the Ca2+ response was a two-step process characterized by an initial increase in intracellular Ca2+ mediated by ryanodine receptor (RyR) release from intracellular stores, supplemented by influx through voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs). Agrin-induced increases in intracellular Ca2+ were blocked by genistein and herbimycin, suggesting that the agrin receptor is a tyrosine kinase. Ca2+ release from intracellular stores activates both calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CaMKII) and mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK). Activation of CaMKII is required for propagation of the Ca2+ wave itself, whereas both MAPK and CaMKII play a role in mediating long latency responses such as induction of c-fos. These results suggest that an agrin-dependent tyrosine kinase could play a critical role in modulating levels of intracellular Ca2+ and activity of MAPK and CaMKII in CNS neurons.

Abstract
Significant Ca(2+) release was previously noted with the activation of L-type Ca(2+) current in rat superior cerebral artery smooth muscle cells. Here we examined whether the P(2X) current that is partly carried by Ca(2+) also triggers Ca(2+) release in this preparation. Application of P(2X) agonists evoked membrane currents and concomitant Ca(2+) transients in whole cell voltage-clamped single cells. The expected increase in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) was calculated from the time-integrated P(2X) current by assuming Ca(2+) is the only charge carrier. The measured increase in [Ca(2+)](i) was plotted as a function of the expected increase in [Ca(2+)](i), and Ca(2+)-buffering power was obtained as a reciprocal of the linear fit to this relationship. Both ryanodine, a Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+)-release inhibitor, and cADP ribose, a putative activator of Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release, had no significant effects on Ca(2+)-buffering power. These results suggest that Ca(2+) influx through P(2X) receptors does not trigger significant Ca(2+) release. We then examined whether P(2X) responses influence the subsequent P(2Y) response. P(2Y) responses were characterized by measuring the rate of [Ca(2+)](i) increase obtained as the slope of the linear regression to the rising phase of the Ca(2+) transient. During simultaneous application of the P(2X) and P(2Y) agonist, the rate of [Ca(2+)](i) increase was facilitated or suppressed depending on the size of the P(2X) receptor-mediated [Ca(2+)](i) increase. Membrane depolarization close to the Ca(2+) equilibrium potential significantly promoted the rate of [Ca(2+)](i) increase. Our results suggest that the [Ca(2+)](i) increase and membrane depolarization caused by the P(2X) current may regulate the subsequent P(2Y) response.

Abstract
The effect of the human immunodeficiency virus-1 protein Tat was investigated on neurotransmitter release from human and rat cortical nerve endings. Tat failed to affect the release of several neurotransmitters, such as glutamate, GABA, norepinephrine, and others, but it evoked the release of [3H]ACh via increase of cytosolic [Ca2+]. In human nerve terminals, the Tat effect partly depends on Ca2+ entry through voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channels, because Cd2+ halved the Tat-evoked release. Activation of group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR) and mobilization of Ca2+ from IP3-sensitive intraterminal stores are also involved, because the Tat effect was prevented by mGluR antagonists 2-methyl-6-(phenylethynyl)pyridine hydrochloride and 7-(hydroxyimino)cyclopropa[b]chromen-1a-carboxylate ethyl ester and by the IP3 receptor antagonists heparin and xestospongin C. Furthermore, the group I selective mGlu agonist (RS)-3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine enhanced [3H]ACh release. In rat nerve terminals, the Tat-evoked release neither depends on external Ca2+ ions entry nor on IP3-mediated mechanisms. Tat seems to cause mobilization of Ca2+ from ryanodine-sensitive internal stores because its effect was prevented by both 8-bromo-cyclic adenosine diphosphate-ribose and dantrolene. The Tat-evoked release from human synaptosomes was mimicked by the peptide sequences Tat 32-62, Tat 49-86, and Tat 41-60. In contrast, the Tat 49-86 and Tat 61-80 fragments, but not the Tat 32-62 fragment, were active in rat synaptosomes. In conclusion, Tat elicits Ca2+-dependent [3H]ACh release by species-specific intraterminal mechanisms by binding via discrete amino acid sequences to different receptive sites on human and rat cholinergic terminals.

Abstract
Transient local releases of Ca(2+) from the sarcoplasmic reticulum activate nearby Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels to produce spontaneous transient outward current (STOC) in smooth muscle cells. We examined if cADP-ribose, an endogenous mediator of Ca(2+) release channels of the sarcoplasmic reticulum, could modify STOC activity. In freshly isolated rat tail arterial cells, cADP-ribose (5 microM) increased STOC frequency significantly from 308+/-26.2 to 398.8+/-28.8 per minute. The average current at a test potential of -20 mV was increased significantly from 47.8+/-0.7 to 101.1+/-0.7 pA in the presence of cADP-ribose. The cell permeant antagonist 8-bromo-cADP-ribose (50 microM) reduced significantly the STOC frequency to 52.5+/-7.5 per minute and the average current to 24.7+/-0.1 pA. The STOCs were inhibited significantly by ryanodine (1 microM) and charybodotoxin (150 nM). These findings suggest the presence of basal cADP-ribose activity in resting vascular smooth muscle cells and that STOC activity is stimulated by cADP-ribose.

Abstract
There is evidence for a role of cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) in intracellular Ca2+ regulation in smooth muscle. cADPR is synthesized and degraded by ADP-ribosyl cyclase and cADPR hydrolase, respectively, by a bifunctional protein, CD38. Nitric oxide (NO) inhibits intracellular Ca2+ mobilization in airway smooth muscle. The present study was designed to determine whether this inhibition is due to regulation of ADP-ribosyl cyclase and/or cADPR hydrolase activity. Sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine, NO donors, produced a concentration-dependent decrease in ADP-ribosyl cyclase, but not cADPR hydrolase, activity. The NO scavenger carboxy-PTIO prevented and reversed, and reduced glutathione prevented, the inhibition of ADP-ribosyl cyclase by SNP, suggesting S-nitrosylation by NO as a mechanism. N-ethylmaleimide, which covalently modifies protein sulfhydryl groups, making them incapable of nitrosylation, produced a marked inhibition of ADP-ribosyl cyclase, but not cADPR hydrolase, activity. SNP and N-ethylmaleimide significantly inhibited the ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity in recombinant human CD38 without affecting the cADPR hydrolase activity. These results provide a novel mechanism for differential regulation of CD38 by NO through a cGMP-independent pathway involving S-nitrosylation of thiols.

Abstract
Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) is unique to pulmonary arteries, and supports ventilation/perfusion matching. However, in diseases such as emphysema, HPV can promote hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (HPH), which ultimately leads to right heart failure. Since it was first described, the mechanisms underpinning HPV have remained obscure, and current therapies for HPH are poor. Previous investigations have suggested that HPV may be mediated by processes intrinsic to the pulmonary artery smooth muscle, and by the release of a vasoconstrictor(s) from the endothelium. It was thought that oxygen-sensitive ion channels in the smooth muscle cell membrane triggered HPV, and it has been argued that the endothelium-derived vasoconstrictor is endothelin-1. However, these proposals remain controversial. This review discusses the regulation by hypoxia of cyclic adenosine diphosphate-ribose production and Ca(2+) release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum in pulmonary artery smooth muscle. The role of these processes in triggering maintained HPV is then related to its subsequent progression due to vasoconstrictor(s) release from the endothelium.

Abstract
cADP-ribose (cADPR) is a novel cyclic nucleotide derived from NAD(+) that has now been established as a general Ca(2+) messenger in a wide variety of cells. Despite the obvious importance of monitoring its cellular levels under various physiological conditions, its measurement has been technically difficult and requires specialized reagents. In this study a widely applicable high-sensitivity assay for cADPR is described. ADP-ribosyl cyclase normally catalyses the synthesis of cADPR from NAD(+), but the reaction can be reversed in the presence of high concentrations of nicotinamide, producing NAD(+) from cADPR stoichiometrically. The resultant NAD(+) can then be coupled to a cycling assay involving alcohol dehydrogenase and diaphorase. Each time NAD(+) cycles through these coupled reactions, a molecule of highly fluorescent resorufin is generated. The reaction can be conducted for hours, resulting in more than a thousand-fold amplification of cADPR. Concentrations of cADPR in the nanomolar range can be measured routinely. The unique ability of ADP-ribosyl cyclase to catalyse the reverse reaction provides the required specificity. Using this assay, it is demonstrated that cADPR is present in all tissues tested and that the levels measured are directly comparable with those obtained using a radioimmunoassay. All the necessary reagents are widely available and the assay can be performed using a multiwell fluorescence plate reader, providing a high-throughput method for monitoring cADPR levels. This assay should be valuable in elucidating the messenger role of cADPR in cells.

Abstract
Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR), a natural metabolite of beta-NAD(+), is a second messenger for Ca(2+) signaling in T cells. As a tool for purification and identification of ADP-ribosyl cyclase(s) in T cells, a sensitive and specific enzymatic assay using 1,N(6)-etheno-NAD(+) as substrate was developed. A major problem-the sensitivity of 1,N(6)-etheno-cADPR toward the extraction medium perchloric acid-was solved by replacing the perchloric acid extraction procedure of nucleotides by a filtration step. Standard compounds for the HPLC analysis of ADP-ribosyl cyclases and NAD(+)-glycohydrolases, e.g., 1,N(6)-etheno-cADPR, 1,N(6)-etheno-ADPR, and 1,N(6)-etheno-AMP, were produced by ADP-ribosyl cyclase from Aplysia californica and dinucleotide pyrophosphatase. The assay was applied to subcellular fractions prepared from human Jurkat T cells. As a result ADP-ribosyl cyclase and NAD(+)-glycohydrolase activity could be detected and precisely quantified in different subcellular fractions indicating the presence of different isoenzymes in T cells.

Abstract
The action of cyclic-ADP-ribose was studied on calcium release from sarcoplasmic reticulum of skeletal muscles of neonatal and adult wild-type and RyR3-deficient mice. cADPR increased calcium efflux from microsomes, enhanced caffeine-induced calcium release, and, in 20% of the tests, triggered calcium release in single muscle fibers. These responses occurred only in the diaphragm of adult RyR3-deficient mice. cADPR action was abolished by ryanodine, ruthenium red, and 8-brome-cADPR. These results strongly favor a specific action of cADPR on RyR1. The responsiveness of RyR1 appears in adult muscles when RyR3 is lacking.

Abstract
Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) is unique to pulmonary arteries, and it aids ventilation/perfusion matching. However, in diseases such as emphysema, HPV can promote hypoxic pulmonary hypertension. We recently showed that hypoxia constricts pulmonary arteries in part by increasing cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) accumulation in the smooth muscle and, thereby, Ca(2+) release by ryanodine receptors. We now report on the role of cADPR in HPV in isolated rat pulmonary arteries and in the rat lung in situ. In isolated pulmonary arteries, the membrane-permeant cADPR antagonist, 8-bromo-cADPR, blocked sustained HPV by blocking Ca(2+) release from smooth muscle ryanodine-sensitive stores in the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Most importantly, we showed that 8-bromo-cADPR blocks HPV induced by alveolar hypoxia in the ventilated rat lung in situ. Inhibition of HPV was achieved without affecting (1) constriction by membrane depolarization and voltage-gated Ca(2+) influx, (2) the release (by hypoxia) of an endothelium-derived vasoconstrictor, or (3) endothelium-dependent vasoconstriction. Our findings suggest that HPV is both triggered and maintained by cADPR in the rat lung in situ.

Abstract
Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) are two Ca(2+) messengers derived from NAD and NADP, respectively. Although NAADP is a linear molecule, structurally distinct from the cyclic cADPR, it is synthesized by similar enzymes, ADP-ribosyl cyclase and its homolog, CD38. The crystal structure of the cyclase has been solved and its active site identified. These two novel nucleotides have now been shown to be involved in a wide range of cellular functions including: cell cycle regulation in Euglena, a protist; gene expression in plants; and in animal systems, from fertilization to neurotransmitter release and long-term depression in brain. A battery of pharmacological reagents have been developed, providing valuable tools for elucidating the physiological functions of these two novel Ca(2+) messengers. This article reviews these recent results and explores the implications of the existence of multiple Ca(2+) messengers and Ca(2+) stores in cells.

Abstract
Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR), an endogenous modulator of ryanodine receptor Ca(2+)-releasing channels, is found in various tissues. Cytosolic injection of cADPR induces an elevation of intracellular Ca(2+) concentrations or potentiates Ca(2+) increases. cADPR facilitates neurotransmitter or insulin release and modifies ionic currents. cADPR is synthesized by ADP-ribosyl cyclase and is metabolized by cADPR hydrolase. ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity is up-regulated by nitric oxide/cyclic GMP-dependent phosphorylation or receptor stimulation via G-proteins within membranes. These findings suggest that cADPR is a second messenger in cellular Ca(2+) signaling. However, many intriguing issues remain to be addressed before this identity is confirmed.

Abstract
Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction is unique to pulmonary arteries and serves to match lung perfusion to ventilation. However, in disease states this process can promote hypoxic pulmonary hypertension. Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction is associated with increased NADH levels in pulmonary artery smooth muscle and with intracellular Ca(2+) release from ryanodine-sensitive stores. Because cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) regulates ryanodine receptors and is synthesized from beta-NAD(+), we investigated the regulation by beta-NADH of cADPR synthesis and metabolism and the role of cADPR in hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction. Significantly higher rates of cADPR synthesis occurred in smooth muscle homogenates of pulmonary arteries, compared with homogenates of systemic arteries. When the beta-NAD(+):beta-NADH ratio was reduced, the net amount of cADPR accumulated increased. This was due, at least in part, to the inhibition of cADPR hydrolase by beta-NADH. Furthermore, hypoxia induced a 10-fold increase in cADPR levels in pulmonary artery smooth muscle, and a membrane-permeant cADPR antagonist, 8-bromo-cADPR, abolished hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction in pulmonary artery rings. We propose that the cellular redox state may be coupled via an increase in beta-NADH levels to enhanced cADPR synthesis, activation of ryanodine receptors, and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) release. This redox-sensing pathway may offer new therapeutic targets for hypoxic pulmonary hypertension.

Abstract
We showed that muscarinic acetylcholine (ACh)-stimulation increased the cellular content of cADPR in the pancreatic acinar cells from normal mice but not in those from CD38 knockout mice. By monitoring ACh-evoked increases in the cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) using fura-2 microfluorimetry, we distinguished and characterized the Ca(2+) release mechanisms responsive to cADPR. The Ca(2+) response from the cells of the knockout mice (KO cells) lacked two components of the muscarinic Ca(2+) release present in wild mice. The first component inducible by the low concentration of ACh contributed to regenerative Ca(2+) spikes. This component was abolished by ryanodine treatment in the normal cells and was severely impaired in KO cells, indicating that the low ACh-induced regenerative spike responses were caused by cADPR-dependent Ca(2+) release from a pool regulated by a class of ryanodine receptors. The second component inducible by the high concentration of ACh was involved in the phasic Ca(2+) response, and it was not abolished by ryanodine treatment. Overall, we conclude that muscarinic Ca(2+) signaling in pancreatic acinar cells involves a CD38-dependent pathway responsible for two cADPR-dependent Ca(2+) release mechanisms in which the one sensitive to ryanodine plays a crucial role for the generation of repetitive Ca(2+) spikes.

Abstract
Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR), a known endogenous modulator of ryanodine receptor Ca2+ releasing channels, is found in the nervous system. Injection of cADPR into neuronal cells primarily induces a transient elevation of intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), and/or secondarily potentiates [Ca2+]i increases that are the result of depolarization-induced Ca2+ influx. Acetylcholine release from cholinergic neurons is facilitated by cADPR. cADPR modifies K+ currents or elicits Ca2+-dependent inward currents. cADPR is synthesized by both membrane-bound and cytosolic forms of ADP-ribosyl cyclase in neuronal cells. cADPR hydrolase activity is weak in the membrane fraction, but high in the cytoplasm. Cytosolic ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity is upregulated by nitric oxide/cyclic GMP-dependent phosphorylation. Stimulation of muscarinic and beta-adrenergic receptors activates membrane-bound ADP-ribosyl cyclase via G proteins within membranes of neuronal tumor cells and cortical astrocytes. These findings strongly suggest that cADPR is a second messenger in Ca2+ signaling in the nervous system, although many intriguing issues remain to be addressed before this identity is confirmed.

Abstract
Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR), a universal calcium releaser, is generated from NAD(+) by an ADP-ribosyl cyclase and is degraded to ADP-ribose by a cADPR hydrolase. In mammals, both activities are expressed as ectoenzymes by the transmembrane glycoprotein CD38. CD38 was identified in both epithelial cells and smooth myocytes isolated from bovine trachea. Intact tracheal smooth myocytes (TSMs) responded to extracellular cADPR (100 microM) with an increase in intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) both at baseline and after acetylcholine (ACh) stimulation. The nonhydrolyzable analog 3-deaza-cADPR (10 nM) elicited the same effects as cADPR, whereas the cADPR antagonist 8-NH(2)-cADPR (10 microM) inhibited both basal and ACh-stimulated [Ca(2+)](i) levels. Extracellular cADPR or 3-deaza-cADPR caused a significant increase of ACh-induced contraction in tracheal smooth muscle strips, whereas 8-NH(2)-cADPR decreased it. Tracheal mucosa strips, by releasing NAD(+), enhanced [Ca(2+)](i) in isolated TSMs, and this increase was abrogated by either NAD(+)-ase or 8-NH(2)-cADPR. These data suggest the existence of a paracrine mechanism whereby mucosa-released extracellular NAD(+) plays a hormonelike function and cADPR behaves as second messenger regulating calcium-related contractility in TSMs.

Abstract
cADP ribose (cADPR)-induced intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) responses were assessed in acutely dissociated adult rat ventricular myocytes using real-time confocal microscopy. In quiescent single myocytes, injection of cADPR (0.1-10 microM) induced sustained, concentration-dependent [Ca(2+)](i) responses ranging from 50 to 500 nM, which were completely inhibited by 20 microM 8-amino-cADPR, a specific blocker of the cADPR receptor. In myocytes displaying spontaneous [Ca(2+)](i) waves, increasing concentrations of cADPR increased wave frequency up to approximately 250% of control. In electrically paced myocytes (0.5 Hz, 5-ms duration), cADPR increased the amplitude of [Ca(2+)](i) transients in a concentration-dependent fashion, up to 150% of control. Administration of 8-amino-cADPR inhibited both spontaneous waves as well as [Ca(2+)](i) responses to electrical stimulation, even in the absence of exogenous cADPR. However, subsequent [Ca(2+)](i) responses to 5 mM caffeine were only partially inhibited by 8-amino-cADPR. In contrast, even under conditions where ryanodine receptor (RyR) channels were blocked with ryanodine, high cADPR concentrations still induced an [Ca(2+)](i) response. These results indicate that in cardiac myocytes, cADPR induces Ca(2+) release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum through both RyR channels and via mechanisms independent of RyR channels.

Abstract
Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) is a universal second messenger that regulates many calcium-related cellular events by releasing calcium from intracellular stores. Since these events include enhanced cell proliferation and since the bone marrow harbors both ectoenzymes that generate cADPR from NAD(+) (CD38 and BST-1), we investigated the effects of extracellular cADPR on human hemopoietic progenitors (HP). Exposure of HP to 100 microM cADPR for 24 h induced a significant increase in colony output (P<0.01) and colony size (P<0.003). A horizontal expansion of HP, as demonstrated by a markedly increased replating efficiency in semisolid medium (up to 700 times compared to controls), was also observed, indicating that cADPR priming can affect cell growth for multiple generations over several weeks after exposure. Influx of extracellular cADPR into the cells was demonstrated, and a causal relationship between the functional effects and the increase of intracellular free calcium concentration induced by cADPR on HP was established through the use of specific antagonists. Similar effects on HP were produced by nanomolar concentrations of the nonhydrolyzable cADPR analog 3-deaza-cADPR. These data demonstrate that extracellular cADPR behaves as a cytokine enhancing the proliferation of human HP, a finding that may have biomedical applications for the ex vivo expansion of hemopoietic cells.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are often shown to damage cellular functions. The targets of oxidative damage depend on the nature of ROS produced and the site of generation. In contrast, ROS can also regulate signal transduction. In this case, ROS may either induce or enhance events, which lead to forward directions of cellular signaling. The consequences of regulation of signal transduction can be observed in physiological processes such as muscle contraction. Here, we discuss the concentration-dependent effects of superoxide anion radical (*O2-) on Ca2+ release from the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Recent studies suggest that the ADP-ribosyl cyclase pathway, through its production of cyclic adenosine 5'-diphosphoribose (cADPR), may control Ca2+ mobilization in cardiac muscle cells. *O2- has dual effects that are concentration dependent. At low concentrations (nearly nanomolar levels), *O2- induces Ca2+ release by stimulating synthesis of cADPR, which requires calmodulin for sensitization of ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+-release channels (RyRC). At these low concentrations, *O2- is responsible for regulation of cellular signal transduction. At higher concentrations (micromolar levels), *O2- produces a loss in the function of calmodulin that is to inhibit RyRC. This results in an increase in Ca2+ release, which is linked to cell injury. The difference in the functions of low and high concentrations of *O2- may result in two distinct physiological roles in cardiac muscle Ca2+ signaling.

Abstract
Cyclic 3-deaza-adenosine diphosphoribose (3-deaza-cADPR), an analog of cyclic adenosine diphosphoribose (cADPR) was synthesized. 3-deaza-cADPR differs from cADPR by only the substitution of carbon for nitrogen at the 3-position of the purine ring. Similar to cADPR, the analog has potent calcium releasing activity in sea urchin egg homogenates and was able to induce calcium release at concentrations as low as 0.3 nM. The EC(50) value for 3-deaza-cADPR-induced calcium release was 1 nM, which is about 70 times more potent than cADPR. The properties of calcium release induced by 3-deaza-cADPR in all other respects were similar to those of cADPR. Thus, 3-deaza-cADPR and cADPR were capable of cross-desensitizing each other and their calcium releasing activities were potentiated by Sr(2+) as well as caffeine. 8-amino-cADPR, a selective antagonist of cADPR, was also able to inhibit 3-deaza-cADPR induced calcium release. Taken together, these data suggest that 3-deaza-cADPR releases calcium through the same mechanism as cADPR. 3-deaza-cADPR was found to be resistant to both heat and enzymatic hydrolysis. Only 15% of 3-deaza-cADPR was destroyed after boiling this compound for 2 h. No loss of 3-deaza-cADPR was observed when treated with CD38 under conditions where cADPR was completely hydrolyzed. Thus, 3-deaza-cADPR is a potent and stable analog of cADPR. These properties should make 3-deaza-cADPR a useful probe in studies focused on the mechanism of cADPR action.

Abstract
Oscillations of Ca2+ in heart cells are a major underlying cause of important cardiac arrhythmias, and it is known that Ca2+-induced release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores (the sarcoplasmic reticulum) is fundamental to the generation of such oscillations. There is now evidence that cADP-ribose may be an endogenous regulator of the Ca2+ release channel of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (the ryanodine receptor), raising the possibility that cADP-ribose may influence arrhythmogenic mechanisms in the heart. 8-Amino-cADP-ribose, an antagonist of cADP-ribose, suppressed oscillatory activity associated with overloading of intracellular Ca2+ stores in cardiac myocytes exposed to high doses of the beta-adrenoreceptor agonist isoproterenol or the Na+/K+-ATPase inhibitor ouabain. The oscillations suppressed by 8-amino-cADP-ribose included intracellular Ca2+ waves, spontaneous action potentials, after-depolarizations, and transient inward currents. Another antagonist of cADP-ribose, 8-bromo-cADP-ribose, was also effective in suppressing isoproterenol-induced oscillatory activity. Furthermore, in the presence of ouabain under conditions in which there was no arrhythmogenesis, exogenous cADP-ribose was found to be capable of triggering spontaneous contractile and electrical activity. Because enzymatic machinery for regulating the cytosolic cADP-ribose concentration is present within the cell, we propose that 8-amino-cADP-ribose and 8-bromo-cADP-ribose suppress cytosolic Ca2+ oscillations by antagonism of endogenous cADP-ribose, which sensitizes the Ca2+ release channels of the sarcoplasmic reticulum to Ca2+.

A combined two-step high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method was developed for the analysis of endogenous levels of cyclic adenosine diphosphoribose (cADPR) in cell extracts. The detection sensitivity for cADPR was about 10 pmol. Linearity of the HPLC detection system was demonstrated in the range of 10 pmol up to 2 nmol. The method was validated in terms of within-day and between-day reproducibility of retention times and peak areas of standard nucleotides. The method was applied to the analysis of endogenous cADPR in human T cell lines. Sequential separation of perchloric acid extracts from cells on strong anion-exchange and reversed-phase ion-pair HPLC resulted in a single symmetrical peak co-eluting with standard cADPR. The identity of this endogenous material was further confirmed by its ability to be converted to ADPR upon heating the cell samples at 80 degrees C for 2 h. Recoveries of the combined perchloric acid extraction-HPLC analysis procedures were 48.3 +/- 10.2%. The determined intracellular concentrations of cADPR in quiescent Jurkat and HPB. ALL human T cells were 198 +/- 41 and 28 +/- 9 pmol/10(8) cells, respectively. In conclusion, a non-radioactive HPLC method presenting a specificity and sensitivity suitable for precise quantification of cADPR in cell extracts was developed.

Abstract
CD38 is a bifunctional ectoenzyme, predominantly expressed on hematopoietic cells during differentiation, that catalyzes the synthesis (cyclase) and the degradation (hydrolase) of cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR), a powerful calcium mobilizer from intracellular stores. Due to the well established role of calcium levels in the regulation of apoptosis, proliferation, and differentiation, the CD38/cADPR system seems to be a likely candidate involved in the control of these fundamental processes. The ectocellular localization of the cyclase activity, however, contrasts with the intracellular site of action of cADPR. Here we demonstrate that ectocellular expression of human CD38 in CD38(-) HeLa and 3T3 cells results in intracellular CD38 substrate (NAD+ + NADH) consumption and product (cADPR) accumulation. Furthermore, a causal relationship is established between presence of intracellular cADPR, partial depletion of thapsigargin-sensitive calcium stores, increase in basal free cytoplasmic calcium concentration, and decrease of cell doubling time. The significant shortening of the S phase in CD38(+) HeLa cells, as compared with controls, demonstrates an effect of intracellular cADPR on the mammalian cell cycle.

Abstract
Abscisic acid (ABA) is the primary hormone that mediates plant responses to stresses such as cold, drought, and salinity. Single-cell microinjection experiments in tomato were used to identify possible intermediates involved in ABA signal transduction. Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) was identified as a signaling molecule in the ABA response and was shown to exert its effects by way of calcium. Bioassay experiments showed that the amounts of cADPR in Arabidopsis thaliana plants increased in response to ABA treatment and before ABA-induced gene expression.

Abstract
Ca2+ mobilization as a signaling mechanism has been placed on center stage with the discovery of the first Ca2+ messenger, inositol trisphosphate (IP3). This article focuses on two new Ca2+ release activators, which mobilize internal Ca2+ stores via mechanisms totally independent of IP3. They are cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) and nicotinic acid dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP), metabolites derived respectively from NAD and NADP. Major advances in the past decade in the understanding of these two novel signaling mechanisms are chronologically summarized.

Abstract
Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) is a cyclic metabolite of NAD+ synthesised in cells and tissues expressing ADP-ribosyl cyclases. Although it was first discovered in sea-urchin egg extracts as a potent calcium mobilizing agent, subsequent studies have indicated that it may have a widespread action in the activation of calcium-release channels in such diverse systems as mammalian neurones, myocytes, blood cells, eggs, and plant microsomes. In this review we focus on recent work suggesting that cADPR enhances the sensitivity of ryanodine-sensitive calcium-release channels (RyRs) to activation by calcium, a phenomenon termed calcium-induced calcium release (CICR). Two roles for cADPR in calcium signaling are discussed. The first is as a classical second messenger where its levels are controlled by extracellular stimuli, and the second mode of cellular regulation is that the levels of intracellular cADPR may set the sensitivity of RyRs to activation by an influx of calcium in excitable cells. These two possible actions of cADPR are illustrated by considering the signal transduction events during the fertilization of the sea-urchin egg and the modulation of CICR during excitation-coupling in isolated guinea-pig ventricular myocytes, respectively.

Abstract
In this paper we use the nitric oxide (NO) donor sodium nitroprusside to examine the response of the unfertilised oocyte of the ascidian Ciona intestinalis to nitric oxide. We show that the release of NO triggers an inward current that displays similar properties to the ascidian fertilisation current. Furthermore, the production of NO causes the release of intracellular calcium through a ruthenium-red sensitive mechanism. Our data suggest that these effects are due to the stimulation of nicotinamide nucleotide metabolism, but the active second messenger is not cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose (cADPr). Finally, we show that NO production increases at fertilisation. The results suggest that ascidian sperm trigger the release of NO and this second messenger causes the breakdown of nicotinamide nucleotides leading to the production of a second messenger which induces the fertilisation current and may assist in the production of the increase in calcium.

Abstract
Ca2+ release from intracellular stores can be activated in neurons by influx of Ca2+ through voltage-gated Ca2+ channels. This process, called Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release, relies on the properties of the ryanodine receptor and represents a mechanism by which Ca2+ influx during neuronal activity can be amplified into large intracellular Ca2+ signals. In a differentiated neuroblastoma cell line, we show that caffeine, a pharmacological activator of the ryanodine receptor, released Ca2+ from intracellular stores in a Ca2+-dependent and ryanodine-sensitive manner. The pyridine nucleotide, cyclic ADP-ribose, thought to be an endogenous modulator of ryanodine receptors also amplified Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release in these neurons. Cyclic ADP-ribose enhanced the total cytoplasmic Ca2+ levels during controlled Ca2+ influx through voltage gated channels, in a concentration-dependent and ryanodine-sensitive manner and also increased the sensitivity with which a small amount of Ca2+ influx could trigger additional release from the ryanodine-sensitive intracellular Ca2+ stores. Single cell imaging showed that following the Ca2+ influx, cyclic ADP-ribose enhanced the spatial spread of the Ca2+ signal from the edge of the cell into its center. These powerful actions suggest a role for cyclic ADP-ribose in the functional coupling of neuronal depolarization, Ca2+ entry, and global intracellular Ca2+ signaling.
