Abstract
The inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate receptor (IP3R) mediates Ca release in many cell types and is pivotal to a wide range of cellular processes. High-resolution cryoelectron microscopy studies have provided new structural details of IP3R type 1 (IP3R1), showing that channel function is determined by the movement of various domains within and between each of its four subunits. Channel properties are regulated by ligands, such as Ca and IP3, which bind at specific sites and control the interactions between these domains. However, it is not known how the various ligand-binding sites on IP3R1 interact to control the opening of the channel. In this study, we present a coarse-grained model of IP3R1 that accounts for the channel architecture and the location of specific Ca- and IP3-binding sites. This computational model accounts for the domain-domain interactions within and between the four subunits that form IP3R1, and it also describes how ligand binding regulates these interactions. Using a kinetic model, we explore how two Ca-binding sites on the cytosolic side of the channel interact with the IP3-binding site to regulate the channel open probability. Our primary finding is that the bell-shaped open probability of IP3R1 provides constraints on the relative strength of these regulatory binding sites. In particular, we argue that a specific Ca-binding site, whose function has not yet been established, is very likely a channel antagonist. Additionally, we apply our model to show that domain-domain interactions between neighboring subunits exert control over channel cooperativity and dictate the nonlinear response of the channel to Ca concentration. This suggests that specific domain-domain interactions play a pivotal role in maintaining the channel's stability, and a disruption of these interactions may underlie disease states associated with Ca dysregulation.

A novel role for Teneurin C-terminal Associated Peptide (TCAP) in the regulation of cardiac activity in the Sydney rock oyster, Saccostrea glomerata. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2023; 14:1020368. [PMID: 36814576 PMCID: PMC9939839 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2023.1020368] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2022] [Accepted: 01/23/2023] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Teneurin C-terminal associated peptide (TCAP) is an ancient bioactive peptide that is highly conserved in metazoans. TCAP administration reduces cellular and behavioural stress in vertebrate and urochordate models, yet despite numerous studies in higher animals, there is limited knowledge of its role in invertebrates. In particular, there are no studies on TCAP's effects on the heart of any metazoan, which is a critical organ in the stress response. We used the Sydney rock oyster (SRO) as an invertebrate model to investigate a potential role for sroTCAP in regulating cardiac activity, including during stress. sroTCAP is localized to the neural innervation network of the SRO heart, and suggested binding with various heart proteins related to metabolism and stress, including SOD, GAPDH and metabotropic glutamate receptor. Intramuscular injection of sroTCAP (10 pmol) significantly altered the expression of heart genes that are known to regulate remodelling processes under different conditions, and modulated several gene families responsible for stress mitigation. sroTCAP (1 and 10 pmol) was shown to cause transient bradycardia (heart rate was reduced by up to 63% and for up to 40 min post-administration), indicative of an unstressed state. In summary, this study has established a role for a TCAP in the regulation of cardiac activity through modulation of physiological and molecular components associated with energy conservation, stress and adaptation. This represents a novel function for TCAP and may have implications for higher-order metazoans.

Minimal contribution of IP 3R2 in cardiac differentiation and derived ventricular-like myocytes from human embryonic stem cells. Acta Pharmacol Sin 2020; 41:1576-1586.

Abstract
Type 2 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R2) regulates the intracellular Ca2+ release from endoplasmic reticulum in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), cardiovascular progenitor cells (CVPCs), and mammalian cardiomyocytes. However, the role of IP3R2 in human cardiac development is unknown and its function in mammalian cardiomyocytes is controversial. hESC-derived cardiomyocytes have unique merits in disease modeling, cell therapy, and drug screening. Therefore, understanding the role of IP3R2 in the generation and function of human cardiomyocytes would be valuable for the application of hESC-derived cardiomyocytes. In the current study, we investigated the role of IP3R2 in the differentiation of hESCs to cardiomyocytes and in the hESC-derived cardiomyocytes. By using IP3R2 knockout (IP3R2KO) hESCs, we showed that IP3R2KO did not affect the self-renewal of hESCs as well as the differentiation ability of hESCs into CVPCs and cardiomyocytes. Furthermore, we demonstrated the ventricular-like myocyte characteristics of hESC-derived cardiomyocytes. Under the α1-adrenergic stimulation by phenylephrine (10 μmol/L), the amplitude and maximum rate of depolarization of action potential (AP) were slightly affected in the IP3R2KO hESC-derived cardiomyocytes at differentiation day 90, whereas the other parameters of APs and the Ca2+ transients did not show significant changes compared with these in the wide-type ones. These results demonstrate that IP3R2 has minimal contribution to the differentiation and function of human cardiomyocytes derived from hESCs, thus provide the new knowledge to the function of IP3R2 in the generation of human cardiac lineage cells and in the early cardiomyocytes.

Abstract
Nanoparticles have shown great promise in improving cancer treatment efficacy by changing the intracellular calcium level through activation of intracellular mechanisms. One of the mechanisms of the killing of the cancerous cell by a nanoparticle is through elevation of the intracellular calcium level. Evidence accumulated over the past decade indicates a pivotal role for the IP3 receptor mediated Ca2+ release in the regulation of the cytosolic and the nuclear Ca2+ signals. There have been various studies done suggesting the role of IP3 receptors (IP3R) and IP3 production and degradation in cardiomyocytes. In the present work, we have proposed a three-dimensional unsteady-state mathematical model to describe the mechanism of cardiomyocytes which focuses on evaluation of various parameters that affect these coupled dynamics and elevate the cytosolic calcium concentration which can be helpful to search for novel therapies to cure these malignancies by targeting the complex calcium signaling process in cardiomyocytes. Our study suggests that there are other factors involved in this signaling which can increase the calcium level, which can help in finding treatment for cancer. The cytosolic calcium level may be controlled by IP3 signaling, leak, source influx of calcium (σ) and maximum production of IP3 (VP). We believe that the proposed model suggests new insight into finding treatment for cancer in cardiomyocytes through elevation of the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration by various parameters like leak, σ, VP and especially by other complex cell signaling dynamics, namely IP3 dynamics. We propose a three-dimensional unsteady-state mathematical model to describe the mechanism of cardiomyocytes.![]()

Sexual Dimorphism in a Reciprocal Interaction of Ryanodine and IP 3 Receptors in the Induction of Hyperalgesic Priming. J Neurosci 2017; 37:2032-2044. [PMID: 28115480 DOI: 10.1523/jneurosci.2911-16.2017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 40] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2016] [Revised: 01/12/2017] [Accepted: 01/13/2017] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Hyperalgesic priming, a model of pain chronification in the rat, is mediated by ryanodine receptor-dependent calcium release. Although ryanodine induces priming in both sexes, females are 5 orders of magnitude more sensitive, by an estrogen receptor α (EsRα)-dependent mechanism. An inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3) receptor inhibitor prevented the induction of priming by ryanodine. For IP3 induced priming, females were also more sensitive. IP3-induced priming was prevented by pretreatment with inhibitors of the sarcoendoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase and ryanodine receptor. Antisense to EsRα prevented the induction of priming by low-dose IP3 in females. The induction of priming by an EsRα agonist was ryanodine receptor-dependent and prevented by the IP3 antagonist. Thus, an EsRα-dependent bidirectional interaction between endoplasmic reticulum IP3 and ryanodine receptor-mediated calcium signaling is present in the induction of hyperalgesic priming, in females. In cultured male DRG neurons, IP3 (100 μm) potentiated depolarization-induced transients produced by extracellular application of high-potassium solution (20 mm, K20), in nociceptors incubated with β-estradiol. This potentiation of depolarization-induced calcium transients was blocked by the IP3 antagonist, and not observed in the absence of IP3 IP3 potentiation was also blocked by ryanodine receptor antagonist. The application of ryanodine (2 nm), instead of IP3, also potentiated K20-induced calcium transients in the presence of β-estradiol, in an IP3 receptor-dependent manner. Our results point to an EsRα-dependent, reciprocal interaction between IP3 and ryanodine receptors that contributes to sex differences in hyperalgesic priming.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT The present study demonstrates a mechanism that plays a role in the marked sexual dimorphism observed in a model of the transition to chronic pain, hyperalgesic priming. This mechanism involves a reciprocal interaction between the endoplasmic reticulum receptors, IP3 and ryanodine, in the induction of priming, regulated by estrogen receptor α in the nociceptor of female rats. The presence of this signaling pathway modulating the susceptibility of nociceptors to develop plasticity may contribute to our understanding of sex differences observed clinically in chronic pain syndromes.

Abstract
In order to develop a novel method of visualizing possible Ca(2+) signaling during the early differentiation of hESCs into cardiomyocytes and avoid some of the inherent problems associated with using fluorescent reporters, we expressed the bioluminescent Ca(2+) reporter, apo-aequorin, in HES2 cells and then reconstituted active holo-aequorin by incubation with f-coelenterazine. The temporal nature of the Ca(2+) signals generated by the holo-f-aequorin-expressing HES2 cells during the earliest stages of differentiation into cardiomyocytes was then investigated. Our data show that no endogenous Ca(2+) transients (generated by release from intracellular stores) were detected in 1-12-day-old cardiospheres but transients were generated in cardiospheres following stimulation with KCl or CaCl2, indicating that holo-f-aequorin was functional in these cells. Furthermore, following the addition of exogenous ATP, an inositol trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) agonist, small Ca(2+) transients were generated from day 1 onward. That ATP was inducing Ca(2+) release from functional IP3Rs was demonstrated by treatment with 2-APB, a known IP3R antagonist. In contrast, following treatment with caffeine, a ryanodine receptor (RyR) agonist, a minimal Ca(2+) response was observed at day 8 of differentiation only. Thus, our data indicate that unlike RyRs, IP3Rs are present and continually functional at these early stages of cardiomyocyte differentiation.

Abstract
Objective. The objective of this study was to investigate the inotropic mechanisms and the related muscarinic receptor subtype of acetylcholine (ACh) in canine cardiac Purkinje fibers. Materials and Methods. Isolated Purkinje fiber bundles were used for the measurement of contraction. The receptor subtype was determined using PCR and real-time PCR methods. Results. ACh evoked a biphasic response with a transient negative inotropic effect followed by a positive inotropic effect in a concentration-dependent manner. The biphasic inotropic actions of ACh were inhibited by the pretreatment with atropine. Caffeine inhibited the positive inotropic effect of ACh. ACh increased inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate content in the Purkinje fibers, which was abolished by atropine. Muscarinic subtypes 2 (M2) and 3 (M3) mRNAs were detected in the canine Purkinje fibers albeit the amount of M3 mRNA was smaller than M2 mRNA. M1 mRNA was not detected. Conclusion. These results suggest that the positive inotropic action of ACh may be mediated by the activation of IP3 receptors through the stimulation of M3 receptors in the canine cardiac Purkinje fibers.

Abstract
Human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hPS-CM) may offer a number of advantages over previous cardiac models, however, questions of their immaturity complicate their adoption as a new in vitro model. hPS-CM differ from adult cardiomyocytes with respect to structure, proliferation, metabolism and electrophysiology, better approximating fetal cardiomyocytes. Time in culture appears to significantly impact phenotype, leading to what can be referred to as early and late hPS-CM. This work surveys the phenotype of hPS-CM, including structure, bioenergetics, sensitivity to damage, gene expression, and electrophysiology, including action potential, ion channels, and intracellular calcium stores, while contrasting fetal and adult CM with hPS-CM at early and late time points after onset of differentiation.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been associated with various human diseases, and considerable attention has been paid to investigate their physiological effects. Various ROS are synthesized in the mitochondria and accumulate in the cytoplasm if the cellular antioxidant defense mechanism fails. The critical balance of this ROS synthesis and antioxidant defense systems is termed the redox system of the cell. Various cardiovascular diseases have also been affected by redox to different degrees. ROS have been indicated as both detrimental and protective, via different cellular pathways, for cardiac myocyte functions, electrophysiology, and pharmacology. Mostly, the ROS functions depend on the type and amount of ROS synthesized. While the literature clearly indicates ROS effects on cardiac contractility, their effects on cardiac excitability are relatively under appreciated. Cardiac excitability depends on the functions of various cardiac sarcolemal or mitochondrial ion channels carrying various depolarizing or repolarizing currents that also maintain cellular ionic homeostasis. ROS alter the functions of these ion channels to various degrees to determine excitability by affecting the cellular resting potential and the morphology of the cardiac action potential. Thus, redox balance regulates cardiac excitability, and under pathological regulation, may alter action potential propagation to cause arrhythmia. Understanding how redox affects cellular excitability may lead to potential prophylaxis or treatment for various arrhythmias. This review will focus on the studies of redox and cardiac excitation.

Abstract
Intracellular Ca(2+) plays an important role in the control of the heart rate through the interaction between Ca(2+) release by ryanodine receptors in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and the extrusion of Ca(2+) by the sodium-calcium exchanger which generates an inward current. A second type of SR Ca(2+) release channel, the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP(3)R), can release Ca(2+) from SR stores in many cell types, including cardiac myocytes. However, it is still uncertain whether IP(3)Rs play any functional role in regulating the heart rate. Accumulated evidence shows that IP(3) and IP(3)R are involved in rhythm control in non-cardiac pacemaker tissues and in the embryonic heart. In this review we focus on intracellular Ca(2+) oscillations generated by Ca(2+) release from IP(3)R that initiates membrane depolarization and provides a common mechanism producing spontaneous activity in a range of cells with pacemaker function. Emerging new evidence also suggests that IP(3)/IP(3)Rs play a functional role in normal and diseased hearts and in cardiac rhythm control. Several membrane currents, including a store-operated Ca(2+) current, might be activated by Ca(2+) release from IP(3)Rs. IP(3)/IP(3)R may thus add another dimension to the complex regulation of heart rate.

Abstract
Various stressful stimuli are known to activate the sympathetic nervous system to release catecholamines and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis to release glucocorticoids in the circulation. Although initial actions of both catecholamines and glucocorticoids are beneficial for the function of the cardiovascular system, their delayed effects on the heart are deleterious. Glucocorticoids not only increase plasma levels of catecholamines by inhibiting their extraneuronal uptake, but they have also been shown to induce supersensitivity to catecholamines in the heart by upregulating different components of the betta-adrenoceptor signal transduction system. Low concentrations of catecholamines stimulate the heart by promoting Ca2+ movements, whereas excessive amounts of catecholamines produce cardiac dysfunction by inducing intracellular Ca2+ overload in cardiomyocytes. Several studies have shown, however, that under stressful conditions high concentrations of catecholamines become oxidized to form aminolutins and generate oxyradicals. These oxidation products of catecholamines have been demonstrated to produce coronary spasm, arrhythmias, and cardiac dysfunction by inducing Ca2+-handling abnormalities in both sarcolemmal and sarcoplasmic reticulum, defects in energy production by mitochondria, and myocardial cell damage. In this article we have focused the discussion to highlight the interrelationship between catecholamines and glucocorticoids and to emphasize the role of oxidation products of catecholamines in the development of stress-induced heart disease.
