Abstract
Transient receptor potential canonical 3 (TRPC3) protein belongs to the TRP family of nonselective cation channels. Its activation occurs by signaling through a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) and a phospholipase C-dependent (PLC) pathway. Perturbations in the expression of TRPC3 are associated with a plethora of pathophysiological conditions responsible for disorders of the cardiovascular, immune, and central nervous systems. The recently solved cryo-EM structure of TRPC3 provides detailed inputs about the underlying mechanistic aspects of the channel, which in turn enables more efficient ways of designing small-molecule modulators. Pharmacologically targeting TRPC3 in animal models has demonstrated great efficacy in treating diseases including cancers, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular diseases. Despite extensive scientific evidence supporting some strong correlations between the expression and activity of TRPC3 and various pathophysiological conditions, therapeutic strategies based on its pharmacological modulations have not led to clinical trials. The development of small-molecule TRPC3 modulators with high safety, sufficient brain penetration, and acceptable drug-like profiles remains in progress. Determining the pathological mechanisms for TRPC3 involvement in human diseases and understanding the requirements for a drug-like TRPC3 modulator will be valuable in advancing small-molecule therapeutics to future clinical trials. In this review, we provide an overview of the origin and activation mechanism of TRPC3 channels, diseases associated with irregularities in their expression, and new development in small-molecule modulators as potential therapeutic interventions for treating TRPC3 channelopathies.

Abstract
Our objective was to determine if tafluprost, a newly synthesized antiglaucoma drug, can relax precontracted rabbit ciliary arteries, and if so, to elucidate the underlying mechanism. We used isometric tension recordings of smooth muscle contractions and fluorescence photometry to monitor the change of intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) in isolated rabbit ciliary artery segments. Tafluprost induced a concentration-dependent relaxation in rabbit ciliary arteries precontracted with a high-K solution. The amplitude of relaxation induced by tafluprost was unchanged by 100 microM L-NAME, 10 microM indomethacin, denudation of vascular endothelium, 30 microM thapsigargin, or 100 microM ouabain. In Ca(2+)-free solution, 30 microM tafluprost did not decrease the amplitude of contraction induced by 1 microM histamine or the amplitude of the [Ca(2+)](i) increase induced by 10 microM histamine. The mechanism of tafluprost-induced relaxation was different from diltiazem, a voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channel blocker. However, in thapsigargin-pretreated preparations incubated in Ca(2+)-free solution, tafluprost attenuated the capacitative increase of [Ca(2+)](i) upon Ca(2+) reintroduction to the extracellular medium. Thus, we conclude that tafluprost relaxed isolated rabbit ciliary artery segments precontracted with a high-K solution. The relaxing mechanism was not dependent on endothelial-derived factors, and not affected by the intracellular Ca(2+) cycles or the Ca(2+) extrusion component of the extracellular Ca(2+) cycles. Relaxation of rabbit ciliary artery smooth muscle by tafluprost may be due, at least in part, to inhibition of capacitative Ca(2+) entry from the extracellular space.

Abstract
1) In the rat pituitary, angiotensin type 1B receptors (AT1B) are located in lactotrophs and corticotrophs. 2) Activation of AT1B receptors are coupled to Gq/11 (Guanine protein coupled receptor, or GPCR); they increase phospholipase beta C (PLC) activity resulting in inositol 1,4,5 triphosphate (InsP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG) formation. A biphasic increase in [Ca2+]i triggered by InsP3 and DAG ensues. 3) As many GPCRs, AT1B pituitary receptors rapidly desensitize. 4) This was observed in the generation of InsP3, the mobilization of intracellular Ca(2+), and in prolactin release. Both homologous and heterologous desensitization was evidenced. 5) Desensitization of the angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor in the pituitary shares similarities and differences with endogenously expressed or transfected AT1 receptors in different cell types. 6) In the pituitary hyperplasia generated by chronic estrogen treatment there was desensitization or alteration in angiotensin II (Ang II) evoked intracellular Ca2+ increase, InsP3 generation, and prolactin release. This correlates with a downregulation of AT1 receptors. 7) In particular, in hyperplastic cells Ang II failed to evoke a transient acute peak in [Ca2+]i, which was replaced by a persistent plateau phase of [Ca2+]i increase. 8) Different calcium channels participate in Ang II induced [Ca2+]i increase in control and hyperplastic cells. While spike phase in control cells is dependent on intracellular stores sensitive to thapsigargin, in hyperplastic cells plateau increase is dependent on extracellular calcium influx. 9) Signal transduction of the AT1 pituitary receptor is greatly modified by hyperplasia, and it may be an important mechanism in the control of the hyperplastic process. 10) In the hypothalamus and brain stem there is a predominant expression of AT1A and AT2 mRNA. 11) Ang II acts at specific receptors located on neurons in the hypothalamus and brain stem to elicit alterations in blood pressure, fluid intake, and hormone secretion. 12) Calcium channels play important roles in the Ang II induced behavioral and endocrine responses. 13) Ang II, in physiological concentrations, can activate AT1 receptors to stimulate both Ca2+ release from intracellular stores and Ca2+ influx from the extracellular space to increase [Ca2+]i in polygonal and stellate astroglia of the hypothalamus and brain stem. 14) In primary cell culture of neurons from newborn rat hypothalamus and brain stem, it has also been determined that Ang II elicits an AT1 receptor mediated inhibition of delayed rectifier K(+) current and a stimulation of Ca2+ current. 15) In primary cell cultures derived from the subfornical organ or the organum vasculosum laminae terminalis of newborn rat pups, Ang II produced a pronounced desensitization of the [Ca2+]i response. 16) Hypothalamic and pituitary Ang II systems are involved in different functions, some of which are related. At both levels Ang II signals through [Ca2+]i in a characteristic way.

Abstract
Cellular signaling mediated by inositol (1,4,5)trisphosphate (Ins(1, 4,5)P(3)) results in oscillatory intracellular calcium (Ca(2+)) release. Because the amplitude of the Ca(2+) spikes is relatively invariant, the extent of the agonist-mediated effects must reside in their ability to regulate the oscillating frequency. Using electroporation techniques, we show that Ins(1,4,5)P(3), Ins(1,3,4, 5)P(4), and Ins(1,3,4,6)P(4) cause a rapid intracellular Ca(2+) release in resting HeLa cells and a transient increase in the frequency of ongoing Ca(2+) oscillations stimulated by histamine. Two poorly metabolizable analogs of Ins(1,4,5)P(3), Ins(2,4,5)P(3), and 2,3-dideoxy-Ins(1,4,5)P(3), gave a single Ca(2+) spike and failed to alter the frequency of ongoing oscillations. Complete inhibition of Ins(1,4,5)P(3) 3-kinase (IP3K) by either adriamycin or its specific antibody blocked Ca(2+) oscillations. Partial inhibition of IP3K causes a significant reduction in frequency. Taken together, our results indicate that Ins(1,3,4,5)P(4) is the frequency regulator in vivo, and IP3K, which phosphorylates Ins(1,4, 5)P(3) to Ins(1,3,4,5)P(4), plays a major regulatory role in intracellular Ca(2+) oscillations.

Abstract
Nonvoltage-gated cation currents, which are activated following stimulation of phospholipase C (PLC), appear to be major modes for Ca2+ and Na+ entry in mammalian cells. The TRPC channels may mediate some of these conductances since their expression in vitro leads to PLC-dependent cation influx. We found that the TRPC3 protein was highly enriched in neurons of the central nervous system (CNS). The temporal and spatial distribution of TRPC3 paralleled that of the neurotrophin receptor TrkB. Activation of TrkB by brain-derived nerve growth factor (BDNF) led to production of a PLC-dependent, nonselective cation conductance in pontine neurons. Evidence is provided that TRPC3 contributes to this current in vivo. Thus, activation of TrkB and PLC leads to a TRPC3-dependent cation influx in CNS neurons.

Abstract
In rat pituitary cells from estrogen-induced hyperplasia, angiotensin II (ANG II) does not evoke a clear spike elevation of intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) but induces a plateau increase. The present work was undertaken to establish whether this difference was related to a differential participation of intracellular and/or plasma membrane Ca2+ channels. We first tested the effect of 10 nM ANG II on [Ca2+]i in the absence of extracellular Ca2+ in cells depolarized with 25 mM K+ or in the presence of blockers of L-type voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channels (VSCC). These treatments did not alter spike elevation in [Ca2+]i in controls but reduced plateau levels in hyperplastic cells. Intracellular Ca2+ stores were similar in both groups, as assessed by thapsigargin treatment, but this drug abolished spike increase in controls and scarcely modified plateau levels in hyperplastic cells. Finally, inositol trisphosphate (InsP3) production in response to ANG II was significantly higher in control cells. We conclude that the observed plateau rise in hyperplastic cells results mainly from Ca2+ influx through VSCC. In contrast, in control cells, the ANG II-induced spike increase in [Ca2+]i results from mobilization of Ca2+ from thapsigargin-sensitive internal channels, activated by higher inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate generation.

Abstract
The regulation of cytosolic Ca2+ homeostasis is essential for cells, and particularly for vascular smooth muscle cells. In this regulation, there is a participation of different factors and mechanisms situated at different levels in the cell, among them Ca2+ pumps play an important role. Thus, Ca2+ pump, to extrude Ca2+; Na+/Ca2+ exchanger; and different Ca2+ channels for Ca2+ entry are placed in the plasma membrane. In addition, the inner and outer surfaces of the plasmalemma possess the ability to bind Ca2+ that can be released by different agonists. The sarcoplasmic reticulum has an active role in this Ca2+ regulation; its membrane has a Ca2+ pump that facilitates luminal Ca2+ accumulation, thus reducing the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration. This pump can be inhibited by different agents. Physiologically, its activity is regulated by the protein phospholamban; thus, when it is in its unphosphorylated state such a Ca2+ pump is inhibited. The sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane also possesses receptors for 1,4,5-inositol trisphosphate and ryanodine, which upon activation facilitates Ca2+ release from this store. The sarcoplasmic reticulum and the plasmalemma form the superficial buffer barrier that is considered as an effective barrier for Ca2+ influx. The cytosol possesses different proteins and several inorganic compounds with a Ca2+ buffering capacity. The hypothesis of capacitative Ca2+ entry into smooth muscle across the plasma membrane after intracellular store depletion and its mechanisms of inhibition and activation is also commented.

Abstract
Capacitative Ca2+ entry (CCE) is Ca2+ entering after stimulation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) formation and initiation of Ca2+ store depletion. One hallmark of CCE is that it can also be triggered merely by store depletion, as occurs after inhibition of internal Ca2+ pumps with thapsigargin. Evidence has accumulated in support of a role of transient receptor potential (Trp) proteins as structural subunits of a class of Ca2+-permeable cation channels activated by agonists that stimulate IP3 formation-very likely through a direct interaction between the IP3 receptor and a Trp subunit of the Ca2+ entry channel. The role of Trp's in Ca2+ entry triggered by store depletion alone is less clear. Only a few of the cloned Trp's appear to enhance this type of Ca2+ entry, and when they do, the effect requires special conditions to be observed, which native CCE does not. Here we report the full-length cDNA of mouse trp2, the homologue of the human trp2 pseudogene. Mouse Trp2 is shown to be readily activated not only after stimulation with an agonist but also by store depletion in the absence of an agonist. In contrast to other Trp proteins, Trp2-mediated Ca2+ entry activated by store depletion is seen under the same conditions that reveal endogenous store depletion-activated Ca2+ entry, i.e., classical CCE. The findings support the general hypothesis that Trp proteins are subunits of store- and receptor-operated Ca2+ channels.

Abstract
Thapsigargin (TG), a plant-derived sesquiterpene lactone, inhibits several isoforms of both the sarcoplasmic and endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPases. Thus, intracellular Ca2+ stores found in the endoplasmic reticulum can be released by this compound. The mammalian sperm acrosome reaction (AR) depends on influx of extracellular Ca2+. However, few reports have presented evidence for the involvement of putative Ca2+ stores and intracellular Ca2+ mobilization in the AR. Thus, we designed experiments to evaluate the effect of TG on the hamster sperm AR. Thapsigargin stimulated-in a dose-dependent manner-the AR of spermatozoa previously capacitated for at least 3 hr, not affecting sperm motility. A maximal stimulatory effect was apparent 3 min after addition of TG to spermatozoa previously capacitated for 4 hr and was dependent on external Ca2+ since ethyleneglycol-bis-(b-amino-ethyl ether) N,N'-tetra-acetic acid added 1 min before TG completely inhibited AR stimulation. The Ca2+ channel blockers diltiazem and nifedipine also abolished the TG-stimulatory effect when added to capacitated spermatozoa 10 min before the inhibitor. In addition, the trypsin inhibitors p-nitrophenyl-p'-guanidine-benzoate hydrochloride and benzamidine added to the sperm suspensions 10 min before TG inhibited by 70-80% the TG-induced AR. These results indicate that putative Ca2+ stores release may be involved in stimulation of extracellular Ca2+ influx required for the occurrence of the AR. In addition, a sperm trypsin-like protease may be part of the mechanism by which TG induces the hamster sperm AR.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential (Trp) proteins form ion channels implicated in the calcium entry observed after stimulation of the phospholipase C pathway. Kyte-Doolittle analysis of the amino acid sequence of Trp proteins identifies seven hydrophobic regions (H1-H7) with potential of forming transmembrane segments. A limited sequence similarity to voltage-gated calcium channel alpha1 subunits lead to the prediction of six transmembrane (TM) segments flanked by intracellular N and C termini and a putative pore region between TM5 and TM6. However, experimental evidence supporting this model is missing. Using human Trp 3 to test Trp topology, we now confirm the intracellular nature of the termini by immunocytochemistry. We also demonstrate presence of a unique glycosylation site in position 418, which defines one extracellular loop between H2 and H3. After removal of this site and insertion of ten separate glycosylation sites, we defined two additional extracellular loops between H4 and H5, and H6 and H7. This demonstrated the existence of six transmembrane segments formed of H2-H7. Thus, the first hydrophobic region of Trp rather than being a transmembrane segment is intracellular and available for protein-protein interactions. A site placed in the center of the putative pore region was glycosylated, suggesting that this region may have been luminal and was reinserted into the membrane at a late stage of channel assembly.

Abstract
Ca2+ release from intracellular stores occurs via two families of intracellular channels, each with their own specific agonist: Ins(1, 4,5)P3 for the Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor and cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) for the ryanodine receptor. We now report that cADPR inhibited Ins(1, 4,5)P3-induced Ca2+ release in permeabilized A7r5 cells with an IC50 of 20 microM, and in permeabilized 16HBE14o- bronchial mucosal cells with an IC50 of 35 microM. This inhibition was accompanied by an increase in specific [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding. 8-Amino-cADPR, but not 8-bromo-cADPR, antagonized this effect of cADPR. The inhibition was prevented by a whole series of inositol phosphates (10 microM) that did not affect Ins(1,4,5)P3-induced Ca2+ release, and by micromolar concentrations of PPi and various nucleotide di- or triphosphates. We propose that cADPR must interact with a novel regulatory site on the Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor or on an associated protein. This site is neither the Ins(1,4,5)P3-binding domain, which prefers Ins(1,4,5)P3 and only binds nucleotides and PPi in the millimolar range, nor the stimulatory adenine nucleotide binding site.

Abstract
1. Blood vessel tone is determined both by smooth muscle and endothelial functions. In coronary arteries taken from rat (Fisher-Lewis) cardiac transplanted hearts, the inducible form of NOS (iNOS) in smooth muscle is more active, while acetylcholine-induced nitric oxide production in the endothelium is greatly diminished. This causes a greatly reduced myogenic constriction, in pressurized septal arteries taken from immunologically challenged transplanted hearts. 2. The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of smooth muscle and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of endothelial cells sequester Ca2+ from the cytoplasm. This reduces the intracellular concentration of free Ca2+, which is necessary for the activation of cellular processes. The release of Ca2+ from internal stores occurs through ryanodine and IP3 recoptors located on the SR membrane. 3. The superficial SR/ER also interacts with ion exchangers and pumps in the plasma membrane. This allows for the superficial SR/ER to function in Ca2+ extrusion; for example, inhibition of the SR/ER Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA) partially inhibits the rate of loss Ca2+ from the cell. Recent data suggest that the SR Ca(2+)-ATPase and the Na(+)-Ca2+ exchanger of smooth muscle cells function in series; that is, Ca2+ uptake by the SR followed by release towards the exchanger to mediate extrusion. This interaction between the SERCA of the superficial SR and ion exchangers and pumps creates intracellular Ca2+ gradients. 4. The SERCA of the superficial, peripherally distributed SR/ER also serves to regulate Ca2+ entry from the extracellular space. This occurs in part by inhibition of the superficial buffer barrier function of the SR as well as by depletion of stimulated Ca2+ entry. 5. Ca2+ entry is also regulated in endothelial and smooth muscle cells by the membrane potential. Membrane hyperpolarization increases the driving force for Ca2+ entry into endothelial cells, which lack voltage-gated Ca2+ channels, and reduces open state probability of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels in vascular smooth muscle cells. The two cell types have electrical contact and interact in a dynamic manner to regulate blood vessel diameter.

Abstract
Depletion of Ca2+ pools using the irreversible Ca2+ pump blocker, thapsigargin, induces DDT1MF-2 smooth muscle cells to enter a stable nonproliferative state. Reversal of this state can be mediated by high (20%) serum treatment, which induces new Ca2+ pump protein, return of Ca2+ pools, and reentry of cells into the cell cycle; the effect of serum can be mimicked by the essential fatty acids (EFA), arachidonic, linoleic, and alpha-linolenic acids (Graber, M.N., Alfonso, A., and Gill, D.L., (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271, 883-888). The possible requirement for EFA metabolism in inducing recovery of Ca2+ pool-depleted growth-arrested cells was investigated. Neither cyclooxygenase or lipoxygenase inhibitors had any effect on arachidonic acid-induced growth recovery of thapsigargin-treated cells. In contrast, the cytochrome P-450 epoxygenase inhibitors, SKF525A and metyrapone, substantially reduced arachidonic acid-induced recovery of growth while having minimal effects on control cell growth. Both epoxygenase inhibitors completely prevented the arachidonic acid-induced recovery of bradykinin-releasable Ca2+-pumping pools, whereas cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase inhibitors had no effect. The effectiveness of the four cytochrome P-450 metabolites of arachidonic acid on recovery of Ca2+ pools were compared; 8,9- and 11,12-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (EET) at 1.5 microM were completely effective in recovering agonist-sensitive Ca2+ pools, whereas the 5,6- and 14,15-EETs were without effect. SKF525A did not block the action of 8,9- or 11, 12-EET indicating further P-450 metabolism was not required. Hydration of the active EET molecules prevented Ca2+ pool recovery since the dihydroxy-derivatives of both 8,9- and 11,12-EET were ineffective. The specificity of effectiveness among EET molecules for subsequent resumption of growth of thapsigargin-treated cells was the same as for Ca2+ pool recovery. Significantly, the P-450 inhibitors, SKF525A and metyrapone, both prevented the action of 20% serum in inducing recovery of thapsigargin-treated cells, whereas cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase inhibitors were ineffective, indicating that EFAs are the active component within serum that is responsible for recovery of Ca2+ pool-depleted cells. The specific action of EETs in mediating recovery of Ca2+ pools and growth of thapsigargin-treated cells represents not only a novel action of epoxygenase products from EFAs, but also a potentially significant new signaling pathway that may effect translational control and regulate transition from a stationary to proliferative growth state.

Abstract
Osteoclasts which derive from hemopoietic cells are multinucleated cells responsible for bone resorption. We found that cyclopiazonic acid (CPA), thapsigargin (TG), and 2,5-di-(t-butyl)-1,4-hydroquinone (BHQ) induced osteoclast-like cell (OCL) formation in cocultures of mouse calvaria-derived stromal cells and hemopoietic cells such as bone marrow cells and spleen cells. OCLs induced by these compounds showed typical characteristics of osteoclasts such as tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase activity and pit forming activity. These compounds are known as endoplasmic reticulum (ER)/sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+-ATPase inhibitors that increase intracellular Ca2+ levels by inhibiting Ca2+-ATPase activity located in the membrane of ER/SR. Ca2+-ionophores such as ionomycin which increase intracellular Ca2+ levels also stimulated OCL formation in the cocultures. Differentiation of hemopoietic cells into OCLs induced by these compounds required the presence of calvarial cells. These results indicate that an increase of intracellular Ca2+ levels may be a part of signaling pathways to induce osteoclast differentiation in the presence of calvarial cells.

Abstract
The release of Ca2+ from intracellular Ca2+ pumping pools and the entry of extracellular Ca2+ are tightly coupled events. The potent and specific intracellular Ca2+ pump inhibitor, thapsigargin, blocks Ca2+ accumulation and allows Ca2+ release from pools within mammalian cells, inducing major changes in endoplasmic reticulum function and cell growth. Recent studies characterized the pools of Ca2+ within permeabilized DC-3F/TG2 cells (a thapsigargin-resistant variant form of the DC-3F Chinese hamster lung fibroblast line, able to grow in 2 microM thapsigargin), revealing highly thapsigargin-resistant intracellular Ca2+ pumping activity capable of accumulating Ca2+ within an inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-releasable Ca2+ pool (Waldron, R. T., Short, A. D., and Gill, D. L. (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 11955-11961). Using intact fura-2-loaded thapsigargin-resistant DC-3F/TG2 cells, the present study investigated the role of this unusual Ca2+ pumping activity in maintaining cytosolic Ca2+, generating Ca2+ signals, and mediating Ca2+ entry. The thapsigargin-resistant Ca2+ pumping pool was capable of generating rapid cytosolic Ca2+ signals in response to the phospholipase C-coupled agonist, oleoyl lysophosphatidic acid. The resting level of cytosolic Ca2+ in DC-3F/TG2 cells was 2-fold elevated compared with control cells (the parent DC-3F line), and transient extracellular Ca2+ removal induced a large "overshoot" in cytosolic Ca2+. The overshoot response was blocked by the Ca2+ influx inhibitor, SKF96365, and was kinetically identical to that induced in parent DC-3F cells after thapsigargin-induced Ca2+ pool emptying, indicating that the thapsigargin-resistant DC-3F/TG2 cells had "constitutively" opened Ca2+ entry channels coupled to an emptied or partially emptied thapsigargin-sensitive Ca2+ pumping pool. Even though oleoyl lysophosphatidic acid-mediated Ca2+ release induced little Ca2+ entry, complete ionomycin-activated emptying of the thapsigargin-resistant Ca2+ pool in DC-3F/TG2 cells induced a large, sustained entry of Ca2+ that was also completely blocked by SKF96365. The results revealed that the thapsigargin-resistant Ca2+ pump does maintain physiological Ca2+ levels, is able to fill an agonist-responsive Ca2+ pool in DC-3F/TG2 cells, and is likely responsible for the ability of these cells to function and grow in the presence of thapsigargin. In addition, Ca2+ influx in the resistant DC-3F/TG2 cells reflects emptying of pools that accumulate Ca2+ by both thapsigargin-sensitive and -resistant Ca2+ pumps; since these pumps accumulate Ca2+ in distinct pools in parent DC-3F cells, it is possible that more than one pool is coupled to Ca2+ influx in the resistant DC-3F/TG2 cells.

Abstract
Adipokinetic hormones (AKHs) control the mobilization of energy reserves from the insect fat body as fuels for flight activity. As a part of our investigations on AKH signal transduction, we demonstrate in this study that the inositol lipid cycle may be involved in the action of AKH-I on fat body of the migratory locust. We show that [3H]inositol is incorporated into fat body phosphoinositides in vitro, whose hydrolysis leads to the formation of the following inositol phosphates (InsPs): Ins(1 and/or 3)P, Ins(4)P, Ins(1,3)P2, Ins(1,4)P2, Ins(3,4)P3, Ins(1,3,4)P3, Ins(1,4,5)P3 and Ins(1,3,4,5)P4. AKH stimulates the formation of these isomers, eliciting an increase in radioactivity of total InsPs already after 1 min. Mass measurements show that Ins(1,4,5)P3 levels are substantially enhanced by AKH, which is indicative of hormonal activation of phospholipase C. In cell-free tissue preparations, Ins(1,4,5)P3 is metabolized through dephosphorylation as well as further phosphorylation. Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 is dephosphorylated primarily to Ins(1,3,4)P3, although the ability for its reconversion to Ins(1,4,5)P3 suggests that in vivo Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 may function as a rapidly mobilizable pool for Ins(1,4,5)P3 generation. Metabolic pathways for the conversion of InsPs to inositol in the locust fat body are proposed.

Abstract
In adrenal glomerulosa cells, angiotensin II (Ang II) evokes repetitive [Ca2+]i transients and increases Ca2+ influx through voltage-sensitive calcium channels (VSCCs) as well as the capacitative Ca2+ entry pathway. This study analyzed the relationships between these Ca2+ influx pathways and intracellular Ca2+ signaling in bovine glomerulosa cells, in which Ca2+ oscillation frequency was regulated by Ang II concentration over the range of 50-300 p. In the absence of external Ca2+, such oscillations were maintained for prolonged periods of time, but their frequency was significantly reduced (0.23 min-1 versus 0.38 min-1). Restoration of [Ca2+]o to 0.6 mM increased the frequency of Ca2+ oscillations in cells that showed narrow spikes of constant amplitude and caused a plateau response in cells with broad spikes of rapidly decreasing amplitude. In the presence of Ca2+, nifedipine reduced the frequency of the oscillatory Ca2+ response to 100 pM Ang II by 49%, and BAY K 8644 increased oscillation frequency by 86%, or caused plateau-type responses typical of higher Ang II concentrations. In contrast to their prominent actions on Ca2+ spiking frequency, dihydropyridines caused only minor changes in Ang II (100 pM)-induced inositol phosphate production. Dihydropyridines also had minimal effects on the nonoscillatory Ca2+ signals evoked by high Ang II concentrations (10 nM). These findings indicate that Ca2+ influx through VSCCs modulates the frequency of Ca2+ oscillations induced by low agonist concentrations by a mechanism that does not involve major changes in inositol trisphosphate formation. However, VSCCs make relatively little contribution to the nonoscillatory Ca2+ signals generated by high agonist concentrations, when Ca2+ influx occurs predominantly through the capacitative Ca2+ entry pathway.

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
In order to replicate, many parasites must invade host cells. Changes in the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) of different parasites and tissue culture cells during their interaction have been studied. An increase in cytosolic Ca(2+) in Trypanosoma cruzi trypomastigotes occurs after association of the parasites with host cells. Ca(2+) mobilization in the host cells also takes place upon contact with T. cruzi trypomastigotes, Leishmania donovani amastigotes or Plasmodium falciparum merozoites. When Ca(2+) transients are prevented by intracellular Ca(2+) chelators, a decrease in parasite association to host cells is observed. This reveals the importance of [Ca(2+)](i) in the process of parasite-host cell interaction, as discussed here by Roberto Docampo and Silvia Moreno.

Abstract
We have examined the ligand specificity and signal transduction pathways of a recently cloned receptor for monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1). In human 293 cells stably transfected with the MCP-1 receptor, MCP-1 bound specifically with high affinity (Kd = 260 pM) and induced a rapid mobilization of calcium from intracellular stores. The closely related chemokines MIP-1 alpha, MIP-1 beta, RANTES, interleukin 8 (IL-8), and Gro-alpha were inactive at concentrations as high as 300 nM. Activation of the MCP-1 receptor potently inhibited adenylyl cyclase with an IC50 = 90 pM. Activation of the MIP-1 alpha/RANTES receptor also mediated inhibition of adenylyl cyclase activity but with a different pharmacological profile: MIP-1 alpha (110 pM, IC50), RANTES (140 pM), MIP-1 beta (10 nM), and MCP-1 (820 nM). Mobilization of intracellular calcium and inhibition of adenylyl cyclase were blocked by pertussis toxin, suggesting that the MCP-1 receptor coupled to G alpha i. These results demonstrate that the MCP-1 receptor binds and signals in response to picomolar concentrations of MCP-1 in a highly specific manner. Signaling was manifested as mobilization of intracellular calcium and inhibition of adenylyl cyclase and was mediated by a pertussis toxin-sensitive G-protein(s).

Abstract
Numerous circulating and locally produced hormones bind to specific cell-surface receptors and activate a variety of second-messenger pathways that evoke characteristic phenotypic responses in their target cells. One of the most ubiquitous signal transduction mechanisms is the phosphoinositide-calcium messenger system, which is activated by hormones, neurotransmitters, and growth factors. Stimulation of these receptors by their ligands causes a characteristic change in the metabolism of membrane phospholipids with production of diacylglycerol and a rapid increase in cytoplasmic Ca(2+) concentration, due to the release of stored intracellular Ca(2+) and stimulated Ca(2+) entry from the extracellular space. These intracettular signals act in concert to activate protein kinases that phosphorylate a variety of regulatory proteins. The link between phosphoinositide turnover and Ca(2+) mobilization is inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, the major Ca(2+)-mobilizing second messenger, which is produced from membrane phosphoinositides by activated phospholipase C enzymes. The mechanisms of ligand-regulated Ca(2+) influx and the additional regulatory role(s) of phosphoinositides and inositol phosphates are still being unfolded. This review and the following article summarize some recent developments and unsolved issues about this major signal transduction cascade that links calcium-mobilizing hormone receptors to the regulation of endocrine cell function.
