Abstract
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is characterized by progressive muscle degeneration. Two important deleterious features are a Ca2+ dysregulation linked to Ca2+ influxes associated with ryanodine receptor hyperactivation, and a muscular nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) deficit. Here, we identified that deletion in mdx mice of CD38, a NAD+ glycohydrolase‐producing modulators of Ca2+ signaling, led to a fully restored heart function and structure, with skeletal muscle performance improvements, associated with a reduction in inflammation and senescence markers. Muscle NAD+ levels were also fully restored, while the levels of the two main products of CD38, nicotinamide and ADP‐ribose, were reduced, in heart, diaphragm, and limb. In cardiomyocytes from mdx/CD38−/− mice, the pathological spontaneous Ca2+ activity was reduced, as well as in myotubes from DMD patients treated with isatuximab (SARCLISA®) a monoclonal anti‐CD38 antibody. Finally, treatment of mdx and utrophin–dystrophin‐deficient (mdx/utr−/−) mice with CD38 inhibitors resulted in improved skeletal muscle performances. Thus, we demonstrate that CD38 actively contributes to DMD physiopathology. We propose that a selective anti‐CD38 therapeutic intervention could be highly relevant to develop for DMD patients.

Abstract
Macrophage activation in the presence of bacterial cells and molecules entails complex programs of gene expression. How such triggers elicit specific gene expression programs is incompletely understood. We previously discovered that TFEB (transcription factor EB) is a key contributor to macrophage activation during bacterial phagocytosis. However, the mechanism linking phagocytosis of bacterial cells to TFEB activation and downstream pro-inflammatory cytokine induction remained unknown. We found that macrophages lacking both TFEB and TFE3 (transcription factor E3) were unable to mount a pro-inflammatory phenotype in response to bacterial infection. The NOX/PHOX (NADPH oxidase)-dependent oxidative burst was required for nuclear translocation of TFEB during phagocytosis of Gram-positive or -negative bacteria, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) were sufficient to trigger TFEB activation in a CD38- and NAADP (nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate)-dependent manner. Consistent with the Ca2+-releasing activity of NAADP, intracellular Ca2+ chelation and PPP3/calcineurin inhibition prevented TFEB activation by phagocytosis and ROS (reactive oxygen species), impairing the induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL6 and TNF/TNFα. Therefore, here we describe a previously unknown pathway that links phagocytosis with macrophage pro-inflammatory polarization via TFEB and related transcription factor TFE3. These findings reveal that activation of TFEB and TFE3 is a key regulatory event for the activation of macrophages, and have important implications for infections, inflammation, cancer, obesity, and atherosclerosis.

Abstract
The present study explored the molecular mechanisms by which instant cell membrane resealing (CMR) controls the activation of NOD-like receptor pyrin domain containing 3 (Nlrp3) inflammasomes. Using wavelength-switching fluorescent microscopy with PI and fura-2 as indicators, we monitored instant CMR simultaneously with (Ca(2+))i in mouse microvascular endothelial cell (MVECs). LCWE or saponin wad found to produce membrane injury, which was resealed in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner, but abolished by FasL, a membrane raft (MR) clustering stimulator. Even in the presence of Ca(2+), FasL prolonged the CMR time as shown by an earlier onset of PI influx (48±12 sec vs. 17±3 min. of control). These effects of FasL were substantially blocked by an MR disruptor, methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (MCD). The failure of CMR upon FasL activated Nlrp3 inflammasomes, which was blocked by MCD, a membrane resealing compound, VA64 or siRNA of an MR-facilitating enzyme, acid sphingomyelinase. This inflammasome activation was due to increased lysosomal permeability and cathepsin B release. It is concluded that an MR-associated CMR protects ECs from Nlrp3 inflammasome activation induced by membrane injury.

Abstract
In the postischemic heart, coronary vasodilation is impaired due to loss of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) function. Although the eNOS cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is depleted, its repletion only partially restores eNOS-mediated coronary vasodilation, indicating that other critical factors trigger endothelial dysfunction. Therefore, studies were performed to characterize the unidentified factor(s) that trigger endothelial dysfunction in the postischemic heart. We observed that depletion of the eNOS substrate NADPH occurs in the postischemic heart with near total depletion from the endothelium, triggering impaired eNOS function and limiting BH4 rescue through NADPH-dependent salvage pathways. In isolated rat hearts subjected to 30 min of ischemia and reperfusion (I/R), depletion of the NADP(H) pool occurred and was most marked in the endothelium, with >85% depletion. Repletion of NADPH after I/R increased NOS-dependent coronary flow well above that with BH4 alone. With combined NADPH and BH4 repletion, full restoration of NOS-dependent coronary flow occurred. Profound endothelial NADPH depletion was identified to be due to marked activation of the NAD(P)ase-activity of CD38 and could be prevented by inhibition or specific knockdown of this protein. Depletion of the NADPH precursor, NADP(+), coincided with formation of 2'-phospho-ADP ribose, a CD38-derived signaling molecule. Inhibition of CD38 prevented NADP(H) depletion and preserved endothelium-dependent relaxation and NO generation with increased recovery of contractile function and decreased infarction in the postischemic heart. Thus, CD38 activation is an important cause of postischemic endothelial dysfunction and presents a novel therapeutic target for prevention of this dysfunction in unstable coronary syndromes.

Abstract
CD38 is a multifunctional enzyme that catalyzes the formation of the endogenous Ca(2+)-mobilizing messengers cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) and nicotinic acid adenosine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) for the activation of ryanodine receptors (RyRs) of sarcoplasmic reticulum and NAADP-sensitive Ca(2+) release channels in endolysosomes, respectively. It plays important roles in systemic vascular functions, but there is little information on CD38 in pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs). Earlier studies suggested a redox-sensing role of CD38 in hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction. This study sought to characterize its roles in angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced Ca(2+) release (AICR) in PASMCs. Examination of CD38 expression in various rat arteries found high levels of CD38 mRNA and protein in pulmonary arteries. The Ang II-elicited Ca(2+) response consisted of extracellular Ca(2+) influx and intracellular Ca(2+) release in PASMCs. AICR activated in the absence of extracellular Ca(2+) was reduced by pharmacological or siRNA inhibition of CD38, by the cADPR antagonist 8-bromo-cADPR or ryanodine, and by the NAADP antagonist Ned-19 or disruption of endolysosomal Ca(2+) stores with the vacuolar H(+)-ATPase inhibitor bafilomycin A1. Suppression of AICR by the inhibitions of cADPR- and NAADP-dependent pathways were nonadditive, indicating interdependence of RyR- and NAADP-gated Ca(2+) release. Furthermore, AICR was inhibited by the protein kinase C inhibitor staurosporine, the nonspecific NADPH oxidase (NOX) inhibitors apocynin and diphenyleneiodonium, the NOX2-specific inhibitor gp91ds-tat, and the scavenger of reactive oxygen species (ROS) tempol. These results provide the first evidence that Ang II activates CD38-dependent Ca(2+) release via the NOX2-ROS pathway in PASMCs.

Abstract
Intrarenal autoregulatory mechanisms maintain renal blood flow (RBF) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) independent of renal perfusion pressure (RPP) over a defined range (80-180 mmHg). Such autoregulation is mediated largely by the myogenic and the macula densa-tubuloglomerular feedback (MD-TGF) responses that regulate preglomerular vasomotor tone primarily of the afferent arteriole. Differences in response times allow separation of these mechanisms in the time and frequency domains. Mechanotransduction initiating the myogenic response requires a sensing mechanism activated by stretch of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and coupled to intracellular signaling pathways eliciting plasma membrane depolarization and a rise in cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)]i). Proposed mechanosensors include epithelial sodium channels (ENaC), integrins, and/or transient receptor potential (TRP) channels. Increased [Ca(2+)]i occurs predominantly by Ca(2+) influx through L-type voltage-operated Ca(2+) channels (VOCC). Increased [Ca(2+)]i activates inositol trisphosphate receptors (IP3R) and ryanodine receptors (RyR) to mobilize Ca(2+) from sarcoplasmic reticular stores. Myogenic vasoconstriction is sustained by increased Ca(2+) sensitivity, mediated by protein kinase C and Rho/Rho-kinase that favors a positive balance between myosin light-chain kinase and phosphatase. Increased RPP activates MD-TGF by transducing a signal of epithelial MD salt reabsorption to adjust afferent arteriolar vasoconstriction. A combination of vascular and tubular mechanisms, novel to the kidney, provides for high autoregulatory efficiency that maintains RBF and GFR, stabilizes sodium excretion, and buffers transmission of RPP to sensitive glomerular capillaries, thereby protecting against hypertensive barotrauma. A unique aspect of the myogenic response in the renal vasculature is modulation of its strength and speed by the MD-TGF and by a connecting tubule glomerular feedback (CT-GF) mechanism. Reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide are modulators of myogenic and MD-TGF mechanisms. Attenuated renal autoregulation contributes to renal damage in many, but not all, models of renal, diabetic, and hypertensive diseases. This review provides a summary of our current knowledge regarding underlying mechanisms enabling renal autoregulation in health and disease and methods used for its study.

Abstract
NADPH oxidase-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been reported to activate NLRP3 inflammasomes resulting in podocyte and glomerular injury during hyperhomocysteinemia (hHcys). However, the mechanism by which the inflammasome senses ROS is still unknown in podocytes upon hHcys stimulation. The current study explored whether thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP), an endogenous inhibitor of the antioxidant thioredoxin and ROS sensor, mediates hHcys-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation and consequent glomerular injury. In cultured podocytes, size exclusion chromatography and confocal microscopy showed that inhibition of TXNIP by siRNA or verapamil prevented Hcys-induced TXNIP protein recruitment to form NLRP3 inflammasomes and abolished Hcys-induced increases in caspase-1 activity and IL-1β production. TXNIP inhibition protected podocytes from injury as shown by normal expression levels of podocyte markers, podocin and desmin. In vivo, adult C57BL/6J male mice were fed a folate-free diet for 4 weeks to induce hHcys, and TXNIP was inhibited by verapamil (1 mg/ml in drinking water) or by local microbubble-ultrasound TXNIP shRNA transfection. Evidenced by immunofluorescence and co-immunoprecipitation studies, glomerular inflammasome formation and TXNIP binding to NLRP3 were markedly increased in mice with hHcys but not in TXNIP shRNA-transfected mice or those receiving verapamil. Furthermore, TXNIP inhibition significantly reduced caspase-1 activity and IL-1β production in glomeruli of mice with hHcys. Correspondingly, TXNIP shRNA transfection and verapamil attenuated hHcys-induced proteinuria, albuminuria, glomerular damage, and podocyte injury. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that TXNIP binding to NLRP3 is a key signaling mechanism necessary for hHcys-induced NLRP3 inflammasome formation and activation and subsequent glomerular injury.

Abstract
Dynein-mediated autophagosome (AP) trafficking was recently demonstrated to contribute to the formation of autophagolysosomes (APLs) and autophagic flux process in coronary arterial myocytes (CAMs). However, it remains unknown how the function of dynein as a motor protein for AP trafficking is regulated under physiological and pathological conditions. The present study tested whether the dynein-mediated autophagy maturation is regulated by a redox signalling associated with lysosomal Ca2+ release machinery. In primary cultures of CAMs, reactive oxygen species (ROS) including H2O2 and O2−. (generated by xanthine/xanthine oxidase) significantly increased dynein ATPase activity and AP movement, which were accompanied by increased lysosomal fusion with AP and APL formation. Inhibition of dynein activity by (erythro-9-(2-hydroxy-3-nonyl)adenine) (EHNA) or disruption of the dynein complex by dynamitin (DCTN2) overexpression blocked ROS-induced dynein activation, AP movement and APL formation, and resulted in an accumulation of AP along with a failed breakdown of AP. Antagonism of nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP)-mediated Ca2+ signalling with NED-19 and PPADS abolished ROS-enhanced lysosomal Ca2+ release and dynein activation in CAMs. In parallel, all these changes were also enhanced by overexpression of NADPH oxidase-1 (Nox1) gene in CAMs. Incubation with high glucose led to a marked O2−. production compared with normoglycaemic CAMs, while Nox1 inhibitor ML117 abrogated this effect. Moreover, ML117 and NED-19 and PPADS significantly suppressed dynein activity and APL formation caused by high glucose. Taken together, these data suggest that ROS function as important players to regulate dynein-dependent AP trafficking leading to efficient autophagic maturation in CAMs.

Abstract
Renal blood flow (RBF) responses to arginine vasopressin (AVP) were tested in anesthetized wild-type (WT) and CD38(-/-) mice that lack the major calcium-mobilizing second messenger cyclic ADP ribose. AVP (3-25 ng) injected intravenously produced dose-dependent decreases in RBF, reaching a maximum of 25 ± 2% below basal RBF in WT and 27 ± 2% in CD38(-/-) mice with 25 ng of AVP. Renal vascular resistance (RVR) increased 75 ± 6% and 78 ± 6% in WT and CD38(-/-) mice. Inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) synthase with nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) increased the maximum RVR response to AVP to 308 ± 76% in WT and 388 ± 81% in CD38(-/-) (P < 0.001 for both). Cyclooxygenase inhibition with indomethacin increased the maximum RVR response to 125 ± 15% in WT and 120 ± 14% in CD38(-/-) mice (P < 0.001, <0.05). Superoxide suppression with tempol inhibited the maximum RVR response to AVP by 38% in both strains (P < 0.005) but was ineffective when administered after L-NAME. The rate of RBF recovery (relaxation) after AVP was slowed by L-NAME and indomethacin (P < 0.001, <0.005) but was unchanged by tempol. All vascular responses to AVP were abolished by an AVP V1a receptor antagonist. A V2 receptor agonist or antagonist had no effect on AVP-induced renal vasoconstriction. Taken together, the results indicate that renal vasoconstriction by AVP in the mouse is strongly buffered by vasodilatory actions of NO and prostanoids. The vasoconstriction depends on V1a receptor activation without involvement of CD38 or concomitant vasodilatation by V2 receptors. The role of superoxide is to enhance the contractile response to AVP, most likely by reducing the availability of NO rather than directly stimulating intracellular contraction signaling pathways.

Abstract
Podocytes are highly differentiated glomerular epithelial cells that contribute to the glomerular barrier function of kidney. A role for autophagy has been proposed in maintenance of their cellular integrity, but the mechanisms controlling autophagy in podocytes are not clear. The present study tested whether CD38-mediated regulation of lysosome function contributes to autophagic flux or autophagy maturation in podocytes. Podocytes were found to exhibit a high constitutive level of LC3-II, a robust marker of autophagosomes (APs), suggesting a high basal level of autophagic activity. Treatment with the mTOR inhibitor, rapamycin, increased LC3-II and the content of both APs detected by Cyto-ID Green staining and autophagolysosomes (APLs) measured by acridine orange staining and colocalization of LC3 and Lamp1. Lysosome function inhibitor bafilomycin A1 increased APs, but decreased APLs content under both basal and rapamycin-induced conditions. Inhibition of CD38 activity by nicotinamide or silencing of CD38 gene produced the similar effects to that bafilomycin A1 did in podocytes. To explore the possibility that CD38 may control podocyte autophagy through its regulation of lysosome function, the fusion of APs with lysosomes in living podocytes was observed by co-transfection of GFP-LC3B and RFP-Lamp1 expression vectors. A colocalization of GFP-LC3B and RFP-Lamp1 upon stimulation of rapamycin became obvious in transfected podocytes, which could be substantially blocked by nicotinamide, CD38 shRNA, and bafilomycin. Moreover, blockade of the CD38-mediated regulation by PPADS completely abolished rapamycin-induced fusion of APs with lysosomes. These results indicate that CD38 importantly control lysosomal function and influence autophagy at the maturation step in podocytes.

Contribution of NADPH oxidase to membrane CD38 internalization and activation in coronary arterial myocytes. PLoS One 2013; 8:e71212.

Abstract
The CD38-ADP-ribosylcyclase-mediated Ca2+ signaling pathway importantly contributes to the vasomotor response in different arteries. Although there is evidence indicating that the activation of CD38-ADP-ribosylcyclase is associated with CD38 internalization, the molecular mechanism mediating CD38 internalization and consequent activation in response to a variety of physiological and pathological stimuli remains poorly understood. Recent studies have shown that CD38 may sense redox signals and is thereby activated to produce cellular response and that the NADPH oxidase isoform, NOX1, is a major resource to produce superoxide (O2·−) in coronary arterial myocytes (CAMs) in response to muscarinic receptor agonist, which uses CD38-ADP-ribosylcyclase signaling pathway to exert its action in these CAMs. These findings led us hypothesize that NOX1-derived O2·− serves in an autocrine fashion to enhance CD38 internalization, leading to redox activation of CD38-ADP-ribosylcyclase activity in mouse CAMs. To test this hypothesis, confocal microscopy, flow cytometry and a membrane protein biotinylation assay were used in the present study. We first demonstrated that CD38 internalization induced by endothelin-1 (ET-1) was inhibited by silencing of NOX1 gene, but not NOX4 gene. Correspondingly, NOX1 gene silencing abolished ET-1-induced O2·− production and increased CD38-ADP-ribosylcyclase activity in CAMs, while activation of NOX1 by overexpression of Rac1 or Vav2 or administration of exogenous O2·− significantly increased CD38 internalization in CAMs. Lastly, ET-1 was found to markedly increase membrane raft clustering as shown by increased colocalization of cholera toxin-B with CD38 and NOX1. Taken together, these results provide direct evidence that Rac1-NOX1-dependent O2·− production mediates CD38 internalization in CAMs, which may represent an important mechanism linking receptor activation with CD38 activity in these cells.

Abstract
The present renal hemodynamic study tested the hypothesis that CD38 and superoxide anion (O2(·-)) participate in the vasoconstriction produced by activation of thromboxane prostanoid (TP) receptors in the mouse kidney. CD38 is the major mammalian ADP-ribosyl cyclase contributing to vasomotor tone through the generation of cADP-ribose, a second messenger that activates ryanodine receptors to release Ca(2+) from the sarcoplasmic reticulum in vascular smooth muscle cells. We evaluated whether the stable thromboxane mimetic U-46619 causes less pronounced renal vasoconstriction in CD38-deficient mice and the involvement of O2(·-) in U-46619-induced renal vasoconstriction. Our results indicate that U-46619 activation of TP receptors causes renal vasoconstriction in part by activating cADP-ribose signaling in renal resistance arterioles. Based on maximal renal blood flow and renal vascular resistance responses to bolus injections of U-46619, CD38 contributes 30-40% of the TP receptor-induced vasoconstriction. We also found that the antioxidant SOD mimetic tempol attenuated the magnitude of vasoconstriction by U-46619 in both groups of mice, suggesting mediation by O2(·-). The degree of tempol blockage of U-46619-induced renal vasoconstriction was greater in wild-type mice, attenuating renal vasoconstriction by 40% compared with 30% in CD38-null mice. In other experiments, U-46619 rapidly stimulated O2(·-) production (dihydroethidium fluorescence) in isolated mouse afferent arterioles, an effect abolished by tempol. These observations provide the first in vivo demonstration of CD38 and O2(·-) involvement in the vasoconstrictor effects of TP receptor activation in the kidney and in vitro evidence for TP receptor stimulation of O2(·-) production by the afferent arteriole.

Abstract
Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP), two intracellular Ca2+ mobilizing second messengers, have been recognized as a fundamental signaling mechanism regulating a variety of cell or organ functions in different biological systems. Here we reviewed the literature regarding these ADP-ribosylcyclase products in vascular cells with a major focus on their production, physiological roles, and related underlying mechanisms mediating their actions. In particular, several hot topics in this area of research are comprehensively discussed, which may help understand some of the controversial evidence provided by different studies. For example, some new models are emerging for the agonist receptor coupling of CD38 or ADP-ribosylcyclase and for the formation of an acidic microenvironment to facilitate the production of NAADP in vascular cells. We also summarized the evidence regarding the NAADP-mediated two-phase Ca2+ release with a slow Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR) and corresponding physiological relevance. The possibility of a permanent structural space between lysosomes and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), as well as the critical role of lysosome trafficking in phase 2 Ca2+ release in response to some agonists are also explored. With respect to the molecular targets of NAADP within cells, several possible candidates including SR ryanodine receptors (RyRs), lysosomal transient receptor potential-mucolipin 1 (TRP-ML1) and two pore channels (TPCs) are presented with supporting and opposing evidence. Finally, the possible role of NAADP-mediated regulation of lysosome function in autophagy and atherogenesis is discussed, which may indicate a new direction for further studies on the pathological roles of cADPR and NAADP in the vascular system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Despite extensive studies, the intracellular regulatory mechanism of renin production and release is still poorly understood. The present study was designed to test whether CD38-ADP-ribosylcyclase signaling pathway contributes to the regulation of renin production and release, and to examine whether CD38 gene knockout (CD38(-/-)) can change this important renal endocrinal function. METHODS ADP-ribosylcyclase activity was estimated utilizing HPLC, cADPR levels from western blot, plasma renin activity from RIA kit, urinary sodium and potassium excretion from fame photometry. RESULTS The expression of CD38 and the activity of ADP-ribosylcyclase to produce cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) were nearly abolished in the kidney from CD38(-/-) mice, indicating that CD38 gene is a major enzyme responsible for the generation of cADPR in vivo. Mice lacking CD38 gene showed increased plasma renin activity (PRA) in either conscious or anesthetized status (P<0.05). Low salt intake significantly increased, but high salt intake significantly decreased renin release in both CD38(+/+) and CD38(-/-) mice. In acute experiments, it was demonstrated that plasma renin activity (PRA) significantly increased upon isoprenaline infusion in CD38(-/-) mice compared to CD38(+/+) mice. Accompanied with such increase in PRA, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), renal blood flow (RBF), urine volume (UV) and sodium excretion (UNaV) more significantly decreased in CD38(-/-) than CD38(+/+) mice. Similarly, more increases in PRA but more decreases in GFR, RBF, UV and UNaV were observed in CD38(-/-) than CD38(+/+) mice when they had a low renal perfusion pressure (RPP). CONCLUSION CD38-cADPR-mediated signaling may importantly contribute to the maintenance of low PRA and participate in the regulation of renal hemodynamics and excretory function in mice.

Abstract
Activation of NAD(P)H oxidase has been reported to produce superoxide (O(2)(•-)) extracellularly as an autocrine/paracrine regulator or intracellularly as a signaling messenger in a variety of mammalian cells. However, it remains unknown how the activity of NAD(P)H oxidase is regulated in arterial myocytes. Recently, CD38-associated ADP-ribosylcyclase has been reported to use an NAD(P)H oxidase product, NAD(+) or NADP(+), to produce cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) or nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate, which mediates intracellular Ca(2+) signaling. This study was designed to test a hypothesis that the CD38/cADPR pathway as a downstream event exerts feedback regulatory action on the NAD(P)H oxidase activity in production of extra- or intracellular O(2)(•-) in mouse coronary arterial myocytes (CAMs). By fluorescence microscopic imaging, we simultaneously monitored extra- and intracellular O(2)(•-) production in wild-type (CD38(+/+)) and CD38 knockout (CD38(-/-)) CAMs in response to oxotremorine (OXO), a muscarinic type 1 receptor agonist. It was found that CD38 deficiency prevented OXO-induced intracellular but not extracellular O(2)(•-) production in CAMs. Consistently, the OXO-induced intracellular O(2)(•-) production was markedly inhibited by CD38 shRNA or the CD38 inhibitor nicotinamide in CD38(+/+) CAMs. Further, Nox4 siRNA inhibited OXO-induced intracellular but not extracellular O(2)(•-) production, whereas Nox1 siRNA attenuated both intracellular and extracellular O(2)(•-) production in CD38(+/+) CAMs. Direct delivery of exogenous cADPR into CAMs markedly elevated intracellular Ca(2+) and O(2)(•-) production in CD38(-/-) CAMs. Functionally, CD38 deficiency or Nox1 siRNA and Nox4 siRNA prevented OXO-induced contraction in isolated perfused coronary arteries in CD38 WT mice. These results provide direct evidence that the CD38/cADPR pathway is an important controller of Nox4-mediated intracellular O(2)(•-) production and that CD38-dependent intracellular O(2)(•-) production is augmented in an autocrine manner by CD38-independent Nox1-derived extracellular O(2)(•-) production in CAMs.

Abstract
Activation of the death receptor Fas has been implicated in the development of vascular injury or disease, but most studies have focused on its role in the regulation of cell apoptosis and growth. The present study was designed to examine the early response of coronary artery to Fas activation by its ligand, FasL. The hypothesis being tested is that CD38 signaling pathway mediates FasL-induced intracellular Ca(2+) release through nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) in mouse coronary arterial myocytes (CAMs) and thereby produces vasoconstriction in coronary arteries. HPLC analysis demonstrated that FasL markedly increased NAADP production in CAMs from wild-type mice (CD38(+/+)) but not in cells from CD38 knockout (CD38(-/-)) mice. Using fluorescent Ca(2+) imaging analysis, we found that FasL (10 ng/ml) significantly increased Ca(2+) release from 142.5 +/- 22.5 nM at the basal level to 509.4 +/- 64.3 nM in CD38(+/+) CAMs but not in CD38(-/-) CAMs. However, direct delivery of NAADP, the CD38 metabolite, into CD38(-/-) CAMs still markedly increased Ca(2+) release, which could be significantly attenuated by a lysosomal function inhibitor, bafilomycin A1 (Baf), or a NAADP antagonist, pyridoxalphosphate-6-azophenyl-2-disulfonic acid. Confocal microscopy further demonstrated that FasL produced a typical two-phase Ca(2+) release with a local Ca(2+) burst from lysosomes, followed by a global Ca(2+) response in CD38(+/+) CAMs. In isolated perfused septal coronary arteries from CD38(+/+) mice, FasL was found to significantly increase U-46619-induced vasoconstriction from 29.2 +/- 7.3 to 63.2 +/- 10.3%, which was abolished by Baf (100 nM). These results strongly indicate that the early response of CAMs to FasL is to increase intracellular Ca(2+) levels and enhance the vascular reactivity through stimulation of NAADP production and lysosome-associated two-phase Ca(2+) release in coronary arteries.

Dependence of cathepsin L-induced coronary endothelial dysfunction upon activation of NAD(P)H oxidase. Microvasc Res 2009; 78:45-50.

Abstract
Cathepsin L is a cysteine protease that can generate endogenous endostatin in vascular and epithelial basement membranes and importantly participates in a variety of pathophysiological processes. The present study was designed to determine whether this cathepsin L-derived endogenous endostatin alters endothelium-dependent vasodilator responses in coronary arteries via NAD(P)H oxidase activation. In isolated and perfused small bovine coronary arteries, administration of cathepsin L (200 ng/ml) markedly attenuated endothelium-dependent vasodilator responses to bradykinin or A23187 by 56.16+/-9.58% and 68.95+/-10.32%, respectively. This inhibitory effect of cathepsin L on endothelium-dependent vasodilator responses could be significantly reversed by pre-incubation of the arteries with O(2)(-) scavenger, Tiron, or neutralizing anti-endostatin antibody. By fluorescent ELISA assay, cathepsin L dose-dependently increased endostatin production in coronary arteries. In situ high-speed dual wavelength switching fluorescent microscopic imaging showed that cathepsin L decreased bradykinin- and A23187-induced NO levels in the intact endothelium, but it had no effect on Ca(2+) response to these vasodilators. This cathepsin L-induced reduction of NO was restored by the pretreatment of an anti-endostatin antibody. Electron spin resonance (ESR) analysis demonstrated that cathepsin L increased O(2)(-) production which could be markedly attenuated by the NAD(P)H oxidase inhibitors, apocynin or anti-endostatin antibody. It is concluded that endostatin could be endogenously produced in coronary arteries when cathepsin L is increased and that this cathepsin L-derived endostatin, if excessive, may result in endothelial dysfunction through enhanced production of O(2)(-) due to NAD(P)H oxidase activation.

Abstract
CD38 contains an ADP ribosylcyclase domain that mediates intracellular Ca(2+) signaling by the production of cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR), but the mechanisms by which the agonists activate this enzyme remain unclear. The present study tested a hypothesis that a special lipid-raft (LR) form, ceramide-enriched lipid platform, contributes to CD38 activation to produce cADPR in response to muscarinic type 1 (M(1)) receptor stimulation in bovine coronary arterial myocytes (CAMs). By confocal microscopic analysis, oxotremorine (Oxo), an M(1) receptor agonist, was found to increase LR clustering on the membrane with the formation of a complex of CD38 and LR components such as GM(1), acid sphingomyelinase (ASMase), and ceramide, a typical ceramide-enriched macrodomain. At 80 microM, Oxo increased LR clustering by 78.8%, which was abolished by LR disruptors, methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (MCD), or filipin. With the use of a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) technique, 15.5+/-1.9% energy transfer rate (vs. 5.3+/-0.9% of control) between CD38 and LR component, ganglioside M(1) was detected, further confirming the proximity of both molecules. In the presence of MCD or filipin, there were no FRET signals detected. In floated detergent-resistant membrane fractions, CD38 significantly increased in LR fractions of CAMs treated by Oxo. Moreover, MCD or filipin attenuated Oxo-induced production of cADPR via CD38. Functionally, Oxo-induced intracellular Ca(2+) release and coronary artery constriction via cADPR were also blocked by LR disruption or ASMase inhibition. These results provide the first evidence that the formation of ceramide-enriched lipid macrodomains is crucial for Oxo-induced activation of CD38 to produce cADPR in CAMs, and these lipid macrodomains mediate transmembrane signaling of M(1) receptor activation to produce second messenger cADPR.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play important roles in renal vasoconstrictor responses to acute and chronic stimulation by angiotensin II and norepinephrine, as well as in long-term effects of endothelin-1 (ET-1). Little is known about participation of ROS in acute vasoconstriction produced by ET-1. We tested the influence of NAD(P)H oxidase inhibition by apocynin [4 mg·kg−1·min−1, infused into the renal artery (ira)] on ETAand ETBreceptor signaling in the renal microcirculation. Both receptors were stimulated by ET-1, ETAreceptors by ET-1 during ETBantagonist BQ-788, and ETBby ETBagonist sarafotoxin 6C. ET-1 (1.5 pmol injected ira) reduced renal blood flow (RBF) 17 ± 4%. Apocynin raised baseline RBF (+10 ± 1%, P < 0.001) and attenuated the ET-1 response to 10 ± 2%, i.e., 35 ± 9% inhibition ( P < 0.05). Apocynin reduced ETA-induced vasoconstriction by 42 ± 12% ( P < 0.05) and that of ETBstimulation by 50 ± 8% ( P < 0.001). During nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibition ( Nω-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester), apocynin blunted ETA-mediated vasoconstriction by 60 ± 8% ( P < 0.01), whereas its effect on the ETBresponse (by 87 ± 8%, P < 0.001) was even larger without than with NO present ( P < 0.05). The cell-permeable superoxide dismutase mimetic tempol (5 mg·kg−1·min−1ira), which reduces O2−and may elevate H2O2, attenuated ET-1 responses similar to apocynin (by 38 ± 6%, P < 0.01). We conclude that ROS, O2−rather than H2O2, contribute substantially to acute renal vasoconstriction elicited by both ETAand ETBreceptors and to basal renal vasomotor tone in vivo. This physiological constrictor action of ROS does not depend on scavenging of NO. In contrast, scavenging of O2−by NO seems to be more important during ETBstimulation.

Abstract
Agmatine, decarboxylated arginine, is produced in the kidney and can increase nephron and kidney filtration rate via renal vasodilatation and increases in plasma flow. This increase in filtration rate after agmatine is prevented by administration of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitors. In endothelial cells, agmatine-stimulated nitrite production is accompanied by induction of cytosolic calcium. NOS activity requires calcium for activation; however, the source of this calcium remains unknown. Ryanodine receptor (RyR) calcium-activated calcium release channels are present in the kidney cortex, and we evaluated if RyR contributes to the agmatine response. Agmatine microperfused into Bowman's space reversibly increases nephron filtration rate (SNGFR) by approximately 30%. cADP-ribose (cADPR) regulates RyR channel activity. Concurrent infusion of agmatine with the cADPR blocker 8-bromo-cADPR (2 microM) prevents the increase in filtration rate. Furthermore, direct activation of the RyR channel with ryanodine at agonist concentrations (5 microM) increases SNGFR, and, like agmatine, this increase is prevented by administration of N(G)-monomethyl-l-arginine, a nonselective NOS blocker. We demonstrate that agmatine does not elicit ADPR cyclase activity in vascular smooth muscle membranes and does not directly affect RyR calcium channel responses using sea urchin egg homogenates. These results imply interplay between endothelial cell cADPR/RyR/Ca(2+)/NO and the cADPR/RyR/Ca(2+) pathways in vascular smooth muscle cells in arterioles in the regulation of kidney filtration rate. In conclusion, we show that agmatine-induced effects require activation of cADPR and RyR calcium release channels for NO generation, vasodilation, and increased filtration rate.

[PMID: 18207366 DOI: 10.1016/j.cellsig.2007.11.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2007] [Revised: 11/21/2007] [Accepted: 11/22/2007] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
The present study was designed to determine whether the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) could locally produce superoxide (O2-) via NAD(P)H oxidase (NOX) in coronary arterial myocytes (CAMs) and to address whether cADPR-RyR/Ca2+ signaling pathway regulates this local O2- production from the SR. Using confocal microscopic imaging analysis in intact single CAMs, a cell-permeable indicator CM-H2DCFDA for dynamic changes in intracellular ROS (in green color) and a highly selective ER-Tracker Red dye for tracking of the SR were found co-localized. A quantitative analysis based on the intensity of different spectra demonstrated a local O2- production derived from the SR. M(1)-receptor agonist, oxotremorine (Oxo) and a Ca2+ ionophore, A23187, time-dependently increased this O2- production colocalized with the SR. NOX inhibitors, diphenylene iodonium (DPI) and apocynin (Apo), or superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase, and Nox4 (a major intracellular NOX subunit) siRNA all substantially blocked this local production of O2-, demonstrating an involvement of NOX. This SR-derived O2- production was also abolished by the inhibitors of cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR)-mediated Ca2+ signaling, such as nicotinamide (Nicot, 6 mM), ryanodine (Rya, 50 muM) or 8-Br-cADPR (30 microM). However, IP3 antagonist, 2-APB (50 microM) had no effect. In CAMs transfected with siRNA of ADP-ribosyl cyclase or RyR, this SR O2- production was attenuated. Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectromic assay in purified SR also demonstrated the production of O2- that was dependent on NOX activity and Ca2+ concentrations. These results provide direct evidence that O2- could be locally produced via NOX on the SR and that this local O2- producing system is controlled by cADPR-RyR/Ca2+ signaling pathway.

Abstract
HPV (hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction) is the critical and distinguishing characteristic of the arteries that feed the lung. In marked contrast, systemic arteries dilate in response to hypoxia to meet the metabolic demands of the tissues they supply. Physiologically, HPV contributes to ventilation-perfusion matching in the lung by diverting blood flow to oxygen-rich areas. However, when alveolar hypoxia is global, as in diseases such as emphysema and cystic fibrosis, HPV leads to HPH (hypoxic pulmonary hypertension) and right heart failure. HPV is driven by the intrinsic response to hypoxia of two different cell types, namely the pulmonary arterial smooth muscle and endothelial cells. These are representatives of a group of specialized cells, commonly referred to as oxygen-sensing cells, which are defined by their acute sensitivity to relatively small changes in PO(2) and have evolved to monitor oxygen supply and alter respiratory and circulatory function, as well as the capacity of the blood to transport oxygen. Upon exposure to hypoxia, mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation is inhibited in all such cells and this, in part, mediates cell activation. In the case of pulmonary arteries, constriction is triggered via: (i) calcium release from the smooth muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum and consequent store-depletion-activated calcium entry into the smooth muscle cells and, (ii) the modulation of transmitter release from the pulmonary artery endothelium, which leads to further constriction of the smooth muscle by increasing the sensitivity of the contractile apparatus to calcium.

Abstract
In response to various stimuli, membrane lipid rafts (LRs) are clustered to aggregate or recruit NADPH oxidase subunits and related proteins in vascular endothelial cells (ECs), forming redox signaling platforms. These LR signaling platforms may play important roles in the normal regulation of endothelial function and in the development of endothelial dysfunction or injury under pathological conditions. This LR-mediated mechanism now takes center stage in cell signaling for the regulation of many cellular activities or cell function such as ECs redox signaling, phagosomal activity of phagocytes, and cell apopotosis of lymphocytes. This brief review summarizes current evidence that relates to the formation of LR redox signaling platforms and their features in ECs, the functional significance of these signaling platforms in mediating death receptor activation-induced endothelial dysfunction, and the mechanisms initiating or promoting the formation of these platforms. It is expected that information provided here will help readers to understand this new signaling mechanism and perhaps extend the LR signaling platform concept to other research areas related to death receptors, redox signaling, endothelial biology, and cell/molecular biology of the cardiovascular system.

Abstract
This study examined the role of acid sphingomyelinase (ASM) and its redox amplification in mediating the formation of lipid raft (LR) redox signaling platforms in coronary arterial endothelial cells (CAECs). Using small interference RNA (siRNA) of ASM, Fas ligand (FasL)-induced increase in ASM activity, production of ceramide, and LR clustering in CAECs were blocked, and clustered Fas was also substantially reduced in detergent-resistant membrane fractions of CAECs. LR clustering, gp91(phox) aggregation, and p47(phox) translocation to the LR clusters induced by FasL were also blocked in ASM-siRNA transfected CAECs. Corresponding to this reduction of LR clustering with NAD(P)H oxidase subunits in ASM-siRNA transfected CAECs, superoxide (O(2)(-*)) production was significantly decreased as measured by either ESR or fluorescent spectrometry. Interestingly, superoxide dismutase (SOD) not only scavenged (O(2)(-*)), but also markedly attenuated LR clustering. Xanthine/xanthine oxidase, an exogenous (O(2)(-*)) generating system, dramatically increased ASM activity and LR clustering in EC membrane and enhanced FasL-induced LR clustering, which were blocked by SOD. These results suggest that that ASM activates LR clustering to form redox signaling platforms, where (O(2)(-*)) production enhances ASM activity, and thereby results in a forwarding amplification of LR and redox signaling. This ASM-mediated feedforwarding mechanism may be critical for an efficient transmembrane signaling through LRs.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated from NADPH oxidases and mitochondria have been implicated as key messengers for pulmonary vasoconstriction and vascular remodeling induced by agonists and hypoxia. Since Ca2+ mobilization is essential for vasoconstriction and cell proliferation, we sought to characterize the Ca2+ response and to delineate the Ca2+ pathways activated by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in rat intralobar pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs). Exogenous application of 10 μM to 1 mM H2O2 elicited concentration-dependent increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration in PASMCs, with an initial rise followed by a plateau or slow secondary increase. The initial phase was related to intracellular release. It was attenuated by the inositol trisphosphate (IP3) receptor antagonist 2-aminoethyl diphenylborate, ryanodine, or thapsigargin, but was unaffected by the removal of Ca2+ in external solution. The secondary phase was dependent on extracellular Ca2+ influx. It was unaffected by the voltage-gated Ca2+ channel blocker nifedipine or the nonselective cation channel blockers SKF-96365 and La3+, but inhibited concentration dependently by millimolar Ni2+, and potentiated by the Na+/Ca2+ exchange inhibitor KB-R 7943. H2O2 did not alter the rate of Mn2+ quenching of fura 2, suggesting store- and receptor-operated Ca2+ channels were not involved. By contrast, H2O2 elicited a sustained inward current carried by Na+ at −70 mV, and the current was inhibited by Ni2+. These results suggest that H2O2 mobilizes intracellular Ca2+ through multiple pathways, including the IP3- and ryanodine receptor-gated Ca2+ stores, and Ni2+-sensitive cation channels. Activation of these Ca2+ pathways may play important roles in ROS signaling in PASMCs.

Abstract
We have previously shown that in afferent arterioles, angiotensin II (ANG II) involves activation of the inositol trisphosphate receptor (IP(3)R), activation of adenine diphosphoribose (ADPR) cyclase, and amplification of the initial IP(3)R-stimulated release of cytosolic Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)) from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) (Fellner SK, Arendshorst WJ. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 288: F785-F791, 2004). The response of the ryanodine receptor (RyR) to local increases in [Ca(2+)](i) is defined as calcium-induced calcium release (CICR). To investigate whether Ca(2+) entry via voltage-gated channels (VGCC) can stimulate CICR, we treated fura 2-loaded, freshly isolated afferent arterioles with KCl (40 mM; high KCl). In control arterioles, peak [Ca(2+)](i) increased by 165 +/- 10 nM. Locking the RyR in the closed position with ryanodine (100 microM) inhibited the [Ca(2+)](i) response by 59% (P < 0.01). 8-Br cADPR, a specific blocker of the ability of cyclic ADPR (cADPR) to sensitize the RyR to Ca(2+), caused a 43% inhibition. We suggest that the lower inhibition by 8-Br cADPR (P = 0.02, ryanodine vs. 8-Br cADPR) represents endogenously active ADPR cyclase. Depletion of SR Ca(2+) stores by inhibiting the SR Ca(2+)-ATPase with cyclopiazonic acid or thapsigargin blocked the [Ca(2+)](i) responses to KCl by 51% (P not significant vs. ryanodine or 8-Br cADPR). These data suggest that about half of the increase in [Ca(2+)](i) induced by high KCl is accomplished by activation of CICR through the ability of entered Ca(2+) to expose the RyR to high local concentrations of Ca(2+) and that endogenous cADPR contributes to the process.

Abstract
Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) is a novel Ca(2+) mobilizing second messenger, which is capable of inducing Ca(2+) release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) via activation of ryanodine receptors (RyR) in vascular cells. This signaling nucleotide has also been reported to participate in generation or modulation of intracellular Ca(2+) sparks, Ca(2+) waves or oscillations, Ca(2+)- induced Ca(2+) release (CICR) and spontaneous transient outward currents (STOCs) in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). With respect to the role of cADPR-mediated signaling in mediation of vascular responses to different stimuli, there is accumulating evidence showing that cADPR is importantly involved in the Ca(2+) response of vascular endothelial cells (ECs) and VSMCs to various chemical factors such as vasoactive agonists acetylcholine, oxotremorine, endothelin, and physical stimuli such as stretch, electrical depolarization and sheer stress. This cADPR-RyR-mediated Ca(2+) signaling is now recognized as a fundamental mechanism regulating vascular function. Here we reviewed the literature regarding this cADPR signaling pathway in vascular cells with a major focus on the production of cADPR and its physiological roles in the control of vascular tone and vasomotor response. We also summarized some publish results that unveil the underlying mechanisms mediating the actions of cADPR in vascular cells. Given the importance of Ca(2+) in the regulation of vascular function, the results summarized in this brief review will provide new insights into vascular physiology and circulatory regulation.

Abstract
It is unknown if endothelin-A and -B receptors (ET(A)R and ET(B)R) activate the production of superoxide via NAD(P)H oxidase and subsequently stimulate the formation of cyclic adenine diphosphate ribose (cADPR) in afferent arterioles. Vessels were isolated from rat kidney and loaded with fura 2. Endothelin-1 (ET-1) rapidly increased cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) by 303 nM. The superoxide dismutase mimetic tempol, the NAD(P)H oxidase inhibitor apocynin, and nicotinamide, an inhibitor of ADPR cyclase, diminished the response by approximately 60%. The ET(B)R agonist sarafotoxin 6c (S6c) increased peak [Ca(2+)](i) by 117 nM. Subsequent addition of ET-1 in the continued presence of S6c caused an additional [Ca(2+)](i) peak of 225 nM. Neither nicotinamide or 8-bromo- (8-Br) cADPR nor apocynin decreased the [Ca(2+)](i) response to S6c, but inhibited the subsequent [Ca(2+)](i) response to ET-1. The ET(B)R blockers BQ-788 and A-192621 prevented the S6c [Ca(2+)](i) peak and reduced the ET-1 response by more than one-half, suggesting an ET(B)R/ET(A)R interaction. In contrast, the ET(A)R blocker BQ-123 had no effect on the S6c [Ca(2+)](i) peak and obliterated the subsequent ET-1 response. ET-1 immediately stimulated superoxide formation (measured with TEMPO-9-AC, 68 arbitrary units) that was inhibited 95% by apocynin or diphenyl iodonium. S6c or IRL-1620 increased superoxide by 8% of that caused by subsequent ET-1 addition. We conclude that ET(A)R activation of afferent arterioles increases the formation of superoxide that accounts for approximately 60% of subsequent Ca(2+) signaling. ET(B)R activation appears to result in only minor increases in superoxide production. Nicotinamide and 8-Br-cADPR results suggest that ET-1 (and primarily ET(A)R) causes the activation of vascular smooth muscle cell-ADPR cyclase.

Abstract
The present study was designed to determine the production of nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) and its role associated with lysosomes in mediating endothelin-1 (ET-1)-induced vasoconstriction in coronary arteries. HPLC assay showed that NAADP was produced in coronary arterial smooth muscle cells (CASMCs) via endogenous ADP-ribosyl cyclase. Fluorescence microscopic analysis of intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in CASMCs revealed that exogenous 100 nM NAADP increased [Ca2+]i by 711 +/- 47 nM. Lipid bilayer experiments, however, demonstrated that NAADP did not directly activate ryanodine (Rya) receptor Ca2+ release channels on the sarcoplasmic reticulum. In CASMCs pretreated with 100 nM bafilomycin A1 (Baf), an inhibitor of lysosomal Ca2+ release and vacuolar proton pump function, NAADP-induced [Ca2+]i increase was significantly abolished. Moreover, ET-1 significantly increased NAADP formation in CASMCs and resulted in the rise of [Ca2+]i in these cells with a large increase in global Ca2+ level of 1,815 +/- 84 nM. Interestingly, before this large Ca2+ increase, a small Ca2+ spike with an increase in [Ca2+]i of 529 +/- 32 nM was observed. In the presence of Baf (100 nM), this ET-1-induced two-phase [Ca2+]i response was completely abolished, whereas Rya (50 microM) only markedly blocked the ET-1-induced large global Ca2+ increase. Functional studies showed that 100 nM Baf significantly attenuated ET-1-induced maximal constriction from 82.26 +/- 4.42% to 51.80 +/- 4.36%. Our results suggest that a lysosome-mediated Ca2+ regulatory mechanism via NAADP contributes to ET-1-induced Ca2+ mobilization in CASMCs and consequent vasoconstriction of coronary arteries.

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
In afferent arteriolar vascular smooth muscle cells, ANG II induces a rise in cytosolic Ca2+([Ca2+]i) via inositol trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) stimulation and by activation of the adenine diphosphate ribose (ADPR) cyclase to form cyclic ADPR, which sensitizes the ryanodine receptor (RyR) to Ca2+. We hypothesize that ANG II stimulation of NAD(P)H oxidases leads to the formation of superoxide anion (O2−·), which, in turn, activates ADPR cyclase. Afferent arterioles were isolated from rat kidney with the magnetized microsphere and sieving technique and loaded with fura-2 to measure [Ca2+]i. ANG II rapidly increased [Ca2+]iby 124 ± 12 nM. In the presence of apocynin, a specific inhibitor of NAD(P)H oxidase assembly, the [Ca2+]iresponse was reduced to 35 ± 5 nM ( P < 0.01). Tempol, a superoxide dismutase mimetic, did not alter the [Ca2+]iresponse to ANG II at a concentration of 10−4M (99 ± 12 nM), but 10−3M tempol reduced the response to 32 ± 3 nM ( P < 0.01). The addition of nicotinamide, an inhibitor of ADPR cyclase, to apocynin or tempol (10−3M) resulted in no further inhibition. Measurement of superoxide production with the fluorescent probe tempo 9-AC showed that ANG II caused an increase of 48 ± 20 arbitrary units; apocynin or diphenyl iodonium (an inhibitor of flavoprotein oxidases) inhibited the response by 94%. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was studied at physiological (10−7M) and higher concentrations. In the presence of H2O2(10−7M), neither baseline [Ca2+]inor the response to ANG II was altered (125 ± 15 nM), whereas H2O2(10−6and 10−5M) inhibited the [Ca2+]iresponse to ANG II by 35 and 46%, respectively. We conclude that ANG II rapidly activates NAD(P)H oxidases of afferent arterioles, leading to the formation of O2−·, which then stimulates ADPR cyclase to form cADPR. cADPR, by sensitizing the RyR to Ca2+, augments the Ca2+response (calcium-induced calcium release) initiated by activation of the IP3R.

Abstract
Endothelial dysfunction/activation underlies the development of long-term cardiovascular complications and atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to examine a direct role for exogenous sublethal flux of superoxide on endothelial cell dysfunction. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) were exposed to superoxide generated by 0.1 mM xanthine and 4 mU/ml xanthine oxidase for 15 min and essential endothelial functions were examined. Superoxide dismutase and/or catalase was used as scavenger for O(2)(-)/H(2)O(2) to determine the key culprit. HUVEC detachment was determined by neutral red uptake and apoptosis by annexin V binding. Inflammation was estimated by IL-8 mRNA expression and cellular adhesion molecules (CAM). eNOS and iNOS message and eNOS protein served as an indirect measure for NO. Procoagulable state was evaluated by estimating the intracellular tissue factor. Activation of endothelial NADPH oxidase was determined by lucigenin chemiluminescence. Sublethal superoxide dose evoked: (1) proinflammatory state manifested by increased IL-8 mRNA expression and CAM on the endothelial surface, (2) HUVEC apoptosis and activated endothelial NADPH oxidase, (3) increase in intracellular tissue factor, and (4) decrease in eNOS mRNA and protein and up-regulation of iNOS mRNA. We conclude that extracellular low flux of superoxide exhibits pleiotropic characteristics, triggering activation/dysfunction of endothelial cells.

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
Background The sources and measurement of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in intact organs are largely unresolved. This may be related to methodological problems associated with the techniques currently employed for ROS detection. Electron spin resonance (ESR) with spin trapping is a specific method for ROS detection, and may address some these technical problems. Methods We have established a protocol for the measurement of intravascular ROS release from isolated buffer-perfused and ventilated rabbit and mouse lungs, combining lung perfusion with the spin probe l-hydroxy-3-carboxy-2,2,5,5-tetramethylpyrrolidine (CPH) and ESR spectroscopy. We then employed this technique to characterize hypoxia-dependent ROS release, with specific attention paid to NADPH oxidase-dependent superoxide formation as a possible vasoconstrictor pathway. Results While perfusing lungs with CPH over a range of inspired oxygen concentrations (1–21 %), the rate of CP• formation exhibited an oxygen-dependence, with a minimum at 2.5 % O2. Addition of superoxide dismutase (SOD) to the buffer fluid illustrated that a minor proportion of this intravascular ROS leak was attributable to superoxide. Stimulation of the lungs by injection of phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) into the pulmonary artery caused a rapid increase in CP• formation, concomitant with pulmonary vasoconstriction. Both the PMA-induced CPH oxidation and the vasoconstrictor response were largely suppressed by SOD. When the PMA challenge was performed at different oxygen concentrations, maximum superoxide liberation and pulmonary vasoconstriction occurred at 5 % O2. Using a NADPH oxidase inhibitor and NADPH-oxidase deficient mice, we illustrated that the PMA-induced superoxide release was attributable to the stimulation of NADPH oxidases. Conclusion The perfusion of isolated lungs with CPH is suitable for detection of intravascular ROS release by ESR spectroscopy. We employed this technique to demonstrate that 1) PMA-induced vasoconstriction is caused "directly" by superoxide generated from NADPH oxidases and 2) this pathway is pronounced in hypoxia. NADPH oxidases thus may contribute to the hypoxia-dependent regulation of pulmonary vascular tone.

Abstract
SUMMARY
In vascular smooth muscle (VSM) of Squalus acanthias, endothelin-1(ET-1) signals via the ETB receptor. In both shark and mammalian VSM, ET-1 induces a rise in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration([Ca2+]i) via activation of the inositol trisphosphate (IP3) receptor (IP3R) and subsequent release of Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). IP3R-mediated release of SR Ca2+ causes calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) via the ryanodine receptor (RyR), which can be sensitized by cyclic adeninediphosphate ribose (cADPR). cADPR is synthesized from NAD+ by a membrane-bound bifunctional enzyme, ADPR cyclase. We have previously shown that the antagonists of the RyR, Ruthenium Red, high concentrations of ryanodine and 8-Br cADPR, diminish the[Ca2+]i response to ET-1 in shark VSM. To investigate how ET-1 might influence the activity of the ADPR cyclase, we employed inhibitors of the cyclase. To explore the possibility that ET-1-induced production of superoxide (O2.-) might activate the cyclase, we used an inhibitor of NAD(P)H oxidase (NOX), DPI and a scavenger of O2.-, TEMPOL. Anterior mesenteric artery VSM was loaded with fura-2AM to measure [Ca2+]i. In Ca2+-free shark Ringers, ET-1 increased[Ca2+]i by 104±8 nmol l-1. The VSM ADPR cyclase inhibitors, nicotinamide and Zn2+, diminished the response by 62% and 72%, respectively. Both DPI and TEMPOL reduced the response by 63%. The combination of the IP3R antagonists, 2-APB or TMB-8, with DPI or TEMPOL further reduced the response by 83%. We show for the first time that in shark VSM, inhibition of the ADPR cyclase reduces the[Ca2+]i response to ET-1 and that superoxide may be involved in the activation of the cyclase.

Abstract
Generating new life in animals by sexual reproduction depends on adequate communication between mature and competent male and female gametes. Ion channels are instrumental in the dialogue between sperm, its environment, and the egg. The ability of sperm to swim to the egg and fertilize it is modulated by ion permeability changes induced by environmental cues and components of the egg outer layer. Ca(2+) is probably the key messenger in this information exchange. It is therefore not surprising that different Ca(2+)-permeable channels are distinctly localized in these tiny specialized cells. New approaches to measure sperm currents, intracellular Ca(2+), membrane potential, and intracellular pH with fluorescent probes, patch-clamp recordings, sequence information, and heterologous expression are revealing how sperm channels participate in fertilization. Certain sperm ion channels are turning out to be unique, making them attractive targets for contraception and for the discovery of novel signaling complexes.

Abstract
Cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose (cADPR) is a naturally occurring cyclic nucleotide and represents a novel class of endogenous Ca(2+) messengers implicated in the regulation of the gating properties of ryanodine receptors (RyRs). This action of cADPR occurs independently from the inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) receptor. The regulation of intracellular Ca(2+) release is a fundamental element of cellular Ca(2+) homeostasis since a number of smooth muscle functions (tone, proliferation, apoptosis, and gene expression) are modulated by intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)). There has been a surge in the efforts aimed at understanding the mechanisms of cADPR-mediated Ca(2+) mobilization and its impact on smooth muscle function. This review summarizes the proposed roles of cADPR in the regulation of smooth muscle tone.

Abstract
ANG II induces a rise in cytosolic Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)) in vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cells via inositol trisphosphate receptor (IP(3)R) activation and release of Ca(2+) from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). The Ca(2+) signal is augmented by calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) and by cyclic adeninediphosphate ribose (cADPR), which sensitizes the ryanodine-sensitive receptor (RyR) to Ca(2+) to further amplify CICR. cADPR is synthesized from beta-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) by a membrane-bound bifunctional enzyme, ADPR cyclase. To investigate the possibility that ANG II activates the ADPR cyclase of afferent arterioles, we used inhibitors of the IP(3)R, RyR, and ADPR cyclase. Afferent arterioles were isolated from rat kidney with the magnetized microsphere and sieving technique and loaded with fura-2 to measure [Ca(2+)](i). In Ca(2+)-containing buffer, ANG II increased [Ca(2+)](i) by 125 +/- 10 nM. In the presence of the IP(3)R antagonists TMB-8 and 2-APB, the peak responses to ANG II were reduced by 74 and 81%, respectively. The specific antagonist of cADPR 8-Br ADPR and a high concentration of ryanodine (100 microM) inhibited the ANG II-induced increases in [Ca(2+)](i) by 75 and 69%, respectively. Nicotinamide and Zn(2+) are known inhibitors of the VSM ADPR cyclase. Nicotinamide diminished the [Ca(2+)](i) response to ANG II by 66%. In calcium-free buffer, Zn(2+) reduced the ANG II response by 68%. Simultaneous blockade of the IP(3) and cADPR pathways diminished the [Ca(2+)](i) response to ANG II by 83%. We conclude that ANG II initiates Ca(2+) mobilization from the SR in afferent arterioles via the classic IP(3)R pathway and that ANG II may lead to activation of the ADPR cyclase to form cADPR, which, via its action on the RyR, substantially augments the Ca(2+) response.
