Abstract
The endomembrane system consists of organellar membranes in the biosynthetic pathway [endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi apparatus, and secretory vesicles] as well as those in the degradative pathway (early endosomes, macropinosomes, phagosomes, autophagosomes, late endosomes, and lysosomes). These endomembrane organelles/vesicles work together to synthesize, modify, package, transport, and degrade proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids, regulating the balance between cellular anabolism and catabolism. Large ion concentration gradients exist across endomembranes: Ca2+ gradients for most endomembrane organelles and H+ gradients for the acidic compartments. Ion (Na+, K+, H+, Ca2+, and Cl-) channels on the organellar membranes control ion flux in response to cellular cues, allowing rapid informational exchange between the cytosol and organelle lumen. Recent advances in organelle proteomics, organellar electrophysiology, and luminal and juxtaorganellar ion imaging have led to molecular identification and functional characterization of about two dozen endomembrane ion channels. For example, whereas IP3R1-3 channels mediate Ca2+ release from the ER in response to neurotransmitter and hormone stimulation, TRPML1-3 and TMEM175 channels mediate lysosomal Ca2+ and H+ release, respectively, in response to nutritional and trafficking cues. This review aims to summarize the current understanding of these endomembrane channels, with a focus on their subcellular localizations, ion permeation properties, gating mechanisms, cell biological functions, and disease relevance.

Abstract
ConspectusDNA nanodevices are nanoscale assemblies, formed from a collection of synthetic DNA strands, that may perform artificial functions. The pioneering developments of a DNA cube by Nadrian Seeman in 1991 and a DNA nanomachine by Turberfield and Yurke in 2000 spawned an entire generation of DNA nanodevices ranging from minimalist to rococo architectures. Since our first demonstration in 2009 that a DNA nanodevice can function autonomously inside a living cell, it became clear that this molecular scaffold was well-placed to probe living systems. Its water solubility, biocompatibility, and engineerability to yield molecularly identical assemblies predisposed it to probe and program biology.Since DNA is a modular scaffold, one can integrate independent or interdependent functionalities onto a single assembly. Work from our group has established a new class of organelle-targeted, DNA-based fluorescent reporters. These reporters comprise three to four oligonucleotides that each display a specific motif or module with a specific function. Given the 1:1 stoichiometry of Watson-Crick-Franklin base pairing, all modules are present in a fixed ratio in every DNA nanodevice. These modules include an ion-sensitive dye or a detection module and a normalizing dye for ratiometry that along with detection module forms a "measuring module". The third module is an organelle-targeting module that engages a cognate protein so that the whole assembly is trafficked to the lumen of a target organelle. Together, these modules allow us to measure free ion concentrations with accuracies that were previously unattainable, in subcellular locations that were previously inaccessible, and at single organelle resolution. By revealing that organelles exist in different chemical states, DNA nanodevices are providing new insights into organelle biology. Further, the ability to deliver molecules with cell-type and organelle level precision in animal models is leading to biomedical applications.This Account outlines the development of DNA nanodevices as fluorescent reporters for chemically mapping or modulating organelle function in real time in living systems. We discuss the technical challenges of measuring ions within endomembrane organelles and show how the unique properties of DNA nanodevices enable organelle targeting and chemical mapping. Starting from the pioneering finding that an autonomous DNA nanodevice could map endolysosomal pH in cells, we chart the development of strategies to target organelles beyond the endolysosomal pathway and expanding chemical maps to include all the major ions in physiology, reactive species, enzyme activity, and voltage. We present a series of vignettes highlighting the new biology unlocked with each development, from the discovery of chemical heterogeneity in lysosomes to identifying the first protein importer of Ca2+ into lysosomes. Finally, we discuss the broader applicability of targeting DNA nanodevices organelle-specifically beyond just reporting ions, namely using DNA nanodevices to modulate organelle state, and thereby cell state, with potential therapeutic applications.

Abstract
The discovery of NAADP-evoked Ca2+ release in sea urchin eggs and then as a ubiquitous Ca2+ mobilizing messenger has introduced several novel paradigms to our understanding of Ca2+ signalling, not least in providing a link between cell stimulation and Ca2+ release from lysosomes and other acidic Ca2+ storage organelles. In addition, the hallmark concentration-response relationship of NAADP-mediated Ca2+ release, shaped by striking activation/desensitization mechanisms, influences its actions as an intracellular messenger. There has been recent progress in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying NAADP-evoked Ca2+ release, such as the identification of the endo-lysosomal two-pore channel family of cation channels (TPCs) as their principal target and the identity of NAADP-binding proteins that complex with them. The NAADP/TPC signalling axis has gained recent prominence in pathophysiology for their roles in such disease processes as neurodegeneration, tumorigenesis and cellular viral entry.

GRP75 Modulates Endoplasmic Reticulum-Mitochondria Coupling and Accelerates Ca 2+-Dependent Endothelial Cell Apoptosis in Diabetic Retinopathy. Biomolecules 2022; 12:biom12121778. [PMID: 36551205 PMCID: PMC9776029 DOI: 10.3390/biom12121778] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2022] [Revised: 11/11/2022] [Accepted: 11/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondrial dysfunction play fundamental roles in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy (DR). However, the interrelationship between the ER and mitochondria are poorly understood in DR. Here, we established high glucose (HG) or advanced glycosylation end products (AGE)-induced human retinal vascular endothelial cell (RMEC) models in vitro, as well as a streptozotocin (STZ)-induced DR rat model in vivo. Our data demonstrated that there was increased ER-mitochondria coupling in the RMECs, which was accompanied by elevated mitochondrial calcium ions (Ca2+) and mitochondrial dysfunction under HG or AGE incubation. Mechanistically, ER-mitochondria coupling was increased through activation of the IP3R1-GRP75-VDAC1 axis, which transferred Ca2+ from the ER to the mitochondria. Elevated mitochondrial Ca2+ led to an increase in mitochondrial ROS and a decline in mitochondrial membrane potential. These events resulted in the elevation of mitochondrial permeability and induced the release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria into the cytoplasm, which further activated caspase-3 and promoted apoptosis. The above phenomenon was also observed in tunicamycin (TUN, ER stress inducer)-treated cells. Meanwhile, BAPTA-AM (calcium chelator) rescued mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis in DR, which further confirmed of our suspicions. In addition, 4-phenylbutyric acid (4-PBA), an ER stress inhibitor, was shown to reverse retinal dysfunction in STZ-induced DR rats in vivo. Taken together, our findings demonstrated that DR fueled the formation of ER-mitochondria coupling via the IP3R1-GRP75-VDAC1 axis and accelerated Ca2+-dependent cell apoptosis. Our results demonstrated that inhibition of ER-mitochondrial coupling, including inhibition of GRP75 or Ca2+ overload, may be a potential therapeutic target in DR.
