Abstract
Background In 2014, we first described novel autoantibodies to the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor type 1 (ITPR1-IgG/anti-Sj) in patients with autoimmune cerebellar ataxia (ACA) in this journal. Here, we provide a review of the available literature on ITPR1-IgG/anti-Sj, covering clinical and paraclinical presentation, tumour association, serological findings, and immunopathogenesis. Methods Review of the peer-reviewed and PubMed-listed English language literature on ITPR1-IgG/anti-Sj. In addition, we provide an illustrative report on a new patient with ITPR1-IgG-associated encephalitis with cognitive decline and psychosis. Results So far, at least 31 patients with serum ITPR1-IgG/anti-Sj have been identified (clinical information available for 21). The most common manifestations were ACA, encephalopathy with seizures, myelopathy, and (radiculo)neuropathy, including autonomic neuropathy. In 45% of cases, an underlying tumour was present, making the condition a facultative paraneoplastic neurological disorder. The neurological syndrome preceded tumour diagnosis in all but one case. In most cases, immunotherapy had only moderate or no effect. The association of ITPR1-IgG/anti-Sj with manifestations other than ACA is corroborated by the case of a 48-year-old woman with high-titre ITPR1-IgG/anti-Sj antibodies and rapid cognitive decline, affecting memory, attention and executive function, and psychotic manifestations, including hallucinations, investigated here in detail. FDG-PET revealed right-temporal glucose hypermetabolism compatible with limbic encephalitis. Interestingly, ITPR1-IgG/anti-Sj mainly belonged to the IgG2 subclass in both serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in this and further patients, while it was predominantly IgG1 in other patients, including those with more severe outcome, and remained detectable over the entire course of disease. Immunotherapy with intravenous methylprednisolone, plasma exchange, and intravenous immunoglobulins, was repeatedly followed by partial or complete recovery. Long-term treatment with cyclophosphamide was paralleled by relative stabilization, although the patient noted clinical worsening at the end of each treatment cycle. Conclusions The spectrum of neurological manifestations associated with ITPR1 autoimmunity is broader than initially thought. Immunotherapy may be effective in some cases. Studies evaluating the frequency of ITPR1-IgG/anti-Sj in patients with cognitive decline and/or psychosis of unknown aetiology are warranted. Tumour screening is essential in patients presenting with ITPR1-IgG/anti-Sj.

Role of IP3 Receptors in Shaping the Carotid Chemoreceptor Response to Hypoxia But Not to Hypercapnia in the Rat Carotid Body: An Evidence Review. ADVANCES IN EXPERIMENTAL MEDICINE AND BIOLOGY 2021.

Abstract
This article addresses the disparity in the transduction pathways for hypoxic and hypercapnic stimuli in carotid body glomus cells. We investigated and reviewed the experimental evidence showing that the response to hypoxia, but not to hypercapnia, is mediated by 1,4,5-inositol triphosphate receptors (IP3R/s) regulating the intracellular calcium content [Ca2+]c in glomus cells. The rationale was based on the past observations that inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation leads to the explicit inhibition of the hypoxic chemoreflex. [Ca2+]c changes were measured using cellular Ca2+-sensitive fluorescent probes, and carotid sinus nerve (CSN) sensory discharge was recorded with bipolar electrodes in in vitro perfused-superfused rat carotid body preparations. The cell-permeant, 2-amino-ethoxy-diphenyl-borate (2-APB; 100 μM) and curcumin (50 μM) were used as the inhibitors of IP3R/s. These agents suppressed the [Ca2+]c, and CSN discharge increases in hypoxia but not in hypercapnia, leading to the conclusion that only the hypoxic effects were mediated via modulation of IP3R/s. The ATP-induced Ca2+ release from intracellular stores in a Ca2+-free medium was blocked with 2-APB, supporting this conclusion.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca2+) is an important second messenger in lymphocytes and is essential in regulating various intracellular pathways that control critical cell functions. Ca2+ channels are located in the plasma membrane and intracellular membranes, facilitating Ca2+ entry into the cytoplasm. Upon Ag receptor stimulation, Ca2+ can enter the lymphocyte via the Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ channel found in the plasma membrane. The increase of cytosolic Ca2+ modulates signaling pathways, resulting in the transcription of target genes implicated in differentiation, activation, proliferation, survival, and apoptosis of lymphocytes. Along with Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ channels, several other channels have been found in the membranes of T and B lymphocytes contributing to key cellular events. Among them are the transient receptor potential channels, the P2X receptors, voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels, and the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor as well as the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors. In this article, we review the contributions of these channels to mediating Ca2+ currents that drive specific lymphocyte functions.

InsP 3R-SEC5 interaction on phagosomes modulates innate immunity to Candida albicans by promoting cytosolic Ca 2+ elevation and TBK1 activity. BMC Biol 2018; 16:46. [PMID: 29703257 PMCID: PMC5921305 DOI: 10.1186/s12915-018-0507-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2017] [Accepted: 03/20/2018] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Candida albicans (C. albicans) invasion triggers antifungal innate immunity, and the elevation of cytoplasmic Ca2+ levels via the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP3R) plays a critical role in this process. However, the molecular pathways linking the InsP3R-mediated increase in Ca2+ and immune responses remain elusive. RESULTS In the present study, we find that during C. albicans phagocytosis in macrophages, exocyst complex component 2 (SEC5) promotes InsP3R channel activity by binding to its C-terminal α-helix (H1), increasing cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]c). Immunofluorescence reveals enriched InsP3R-SEC5 complex formation on phagosomes, while disruption of the InsP3R-SEC5 interaction by recombinant H1 peptides attenuates the InsP3R-mediated Ca2+ elevation, leading to impaired phagocytosis. Furthermore, we show that C. albicans infection promotes the recruitment of Tank-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) by the InsP3R-SEC5 interacting complex, leading to the activation of TBK1. Subsequently, activated TBK1 phosphorylates interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF-3) and mediates type I interferon responses, suggesting that the InsP3R-SEC5 interaction may regulate antifungal innate immune responses not only by elevating cytoplasmic Ca2+ but also by activating the TBK1-IRF-3 pathway. CONCLUSIONS Our data have revealed an important role of the InsP3R-SEC5 interaction in innate immune responses against C. albicans.

[PMID: 27776522 PMCID: PMC5078930 DOI: 10.1186/s12974-016-0737-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2016] [Accepted: 09/28/2016] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, we described a novel autoantibody, anti-Sj/ITPR1-IgG, that targets the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor type 1 (ITPR1) in patients with cerebellar ataxia. However, ITPR1 is expressed not only by Purkinje cells but also in the anterior horn of the spinal cord, in the substantia gelatinosa and in the motor, sensory (including the dorsal root ganglia) and autonomic peripheral nervous system, suggesting that the clinical spectrum associated with autoimmunity to ITPR1 may be broader than initially thought. Here we report on serum autoantibodies to ITPR1 (up to 1:15,000) in three patients with (radiculo)polyneuropathy, which in two cases was associated with cancer (ITPR1-expressing adenocarcinoma of the lung, multiple myeloma), suggesting a paraneoplastic aetiology. METHODS Serological and other immunological studies, and retrospective analysis of patient records. RESULTS The clinical findings comprised motor, sensory (including severe pain) and autonomic symptoms. While one patient presented with subacute symptoms mimicking Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), the symptoms progressed slowly in two other patients. Electrophysiology revealed delayed F waves; a decrease in motor and sensory action potentials and conduction velocities; delayed motor latencies; signs of denervation, indicating sensorimotor radiculopolyneuropathy of the mixed type; and no conduction blocks. ITPR1-IgG belonged to the complement-activating IgG1 subclass in the severely affected patient but exclusively to the IgG2 subclass in the two more mildly affected patients. Cerebrospinal fluid ITPR1-IgG was found to be of predominantly extrathecal origin. A 3H-thymidine-based proliferation assay confirmed the presence of ITPR1-reactive lymphocytes among peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Immunophenotypic profiling of PBMCs protein demonstrated predominant proliferation of B cells, CD4 T cells and CD8 memory T cells following stimulation with purified ITPR1 protein. Patient ITPR1-IgG bound both to peripheral nervous tissue and to lung tumour tissue. A nerve biopsy showed lymphocyte infiltration (including cytotoxic CD8 cells), oedema, marked axonal loss and myelin-positive macrophages, indicating florid inflammation. ITPR1-IgG serum titres declined following tumour removal, paralleled by clinical stabilization. CONCLUSIONS Our findings expand the spectrum of clinical syndromes associated with ITPR1-IgG and suggest that autoimmunity to ITPR1 may underlie peripheral nervous system diseases (including GBS) in some patients and may be of paraneoplastic origin in a subset of cases.

A ternary complex comprising FAK, PTPα and IP3 receptor 1 functionally engages focal adhesions and the endoplasmic reticulum to mediate IL-1-induced Ca2+ signalling in fibroblasts. Biochem J 2015; 473:397-410.

Abstract
Ca(2+) release is tightly sequestered in eukaryotic cells to enable fine spatio-temporal control of signalling but how Ca(2+) release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is linked to cell adhesions is not defined. We examined the spatial restriction of Ca(2+) release through the inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate receptor 1 (IP3R1) in response to interleukin-1 (IL-1) and the functions of the adhesion-associated proteins, focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and protein tyrosine phosphatase-α (PTPα). In cultured fibroblasts IL-1 treatment promoted co-localization of PTPα and FAK with the ER and increased association of IP3R1 with PTPα and FAK at focal adhesions (FAs). GST pull-down assays of purified proteins demonstrated that PTPα and FAK directly interacted with IP3R1. These interactions depended on the focal adhesion-targeting (FAT) and band4.1-ezrin-radixin-moesin (FERM) domains of FAK. PTPα was required for the association of IP3R1 with Src, which mediated IP3R1 phosphorylation and consequently ER Ca(2+) release. Collectively, these data indicate that PTPα and FAK, which are enriched in FAs, interact with IP3R1 at adjacent ER sites to spatially sequester IL-1-induced Ca(2+) signalling.

Abstract
Serological testing for anti-neural autoantibodies is important in patients presenting with idiopathic cerebellar ataxia, since these autoantibodies may indicate cancer, determine treatment and predict prognosis. While some of them target nuclear antigens present in all or most CNS neurons (e.g. anti-Hu, anti-Ri), others more specifically target antigens present in the cytoplasm or plasma membrane of Purkinje cells (PC). In this series of articles, we provide a detailed review of the clinical and paraclinical features, oncological, therapeutic and prognostic implications, pathogenetic relevance, and differential laboratory diagnosis of the 12 most common PC autoantibodies (often referred to as 'Medusa-head antibodies' due to their characteristic somatodendritic binding pattern when tested by immunohistochemistry). To assist immunologists and neurologists in diagnosing these disorders, typical high-resolution immunohistochemical images of all 12 reactivities are presented, diagnostic pitfalls discussed and all currently available assays reviewed. Of note, most of these antibodies target antigens involved in the mGluR1/calcium pathway essential for PC function and survival. Many of the antigens also play a role in spinocerebellar ataxia. Part 1 focuses on anti-metabotropic glutamate receptor 1-, anti-Homer protein homolog 3-, anti-Sj/inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor- and anti-carbonic anhydrase-related protein VIII-associated autoimmune cerebellar ataxia (ACA); part 2 covers anti-protein kinase C gamma-, anti-glutamate receptor delta-2-, anti-Ca/RhoGTPase-activating protein 26- and anti-voltage-gated calcium channel-associated ACA; and part 3 reviews the current knowledge on anti-Tr/delta notch-like epidermal growth factor-related receptor-, anti-Nb/AP3B2-, anti-Yo/cerebellar degeneration-related protein 2- and Purkinje cell antibody 2-associated ACA, discusses differential diagnostic aspects and provides a summary and outlook.

Abstract
Inositol 1, 4, 5-Trisphosphate Receptor (InsP3R) is an intracellular Ca(2+) release channel, which widely participates in cellular processes. Three isoforms of InsP3R were identified as InsP3R1, InsP3R2, and InsP3R3. They share 60-0% protein sequence homology and form a channel in a manner of homotetramer or heterotetramer. Several InsP3R isoform-specific rabbit antibodies have been generated to distinguish their localization and functions. However, there is no report of such a valid antibody raised from other species. In his article, we prepare a mouse monoclonal antibody against a synthetic peptide with rat InsP3R1-specific carboxyl terminus sequence. This monoclonal antibody of InsP3R1 (R1-mAb) was purified and characterized as IgG2b, which can recognize InsP3R1 by Western-blot (WB) analysis and immunoprecipitate (IP) InsP3R1 from moue brain lysate tested. Applied in immunofluorescent (IF) and immunohistochemical (IHC) assays, this antibody and rabbit polyclonal antibody could give the consistent results in SH-SY5Y cells, human sperm, and mouse brain paraffin section. In summary, we generate a mouse InsP3R1-specific IgG 2b antibody identifying InsP3R1 in WB, IF, IHC, and IP analysis, which provides a possible choice for detection of InsP3R1, especially in application of co-localization analysis with other InsP3R isoforms or other proteins.

Abstract
We report on a serum autoantibody associated with cerebellar ataxia. Immunohistochemical studies of sera from four patients referred for autoantibody testing revealed binding of high-titer (up to 1:5,000) IgG antibodies, mainly IgG1, to the molecular layer, Purkinje cell layer, and white matter on mouse, rat, porcine, and monkey cerebellum sections. The antibody bound to PC somata, dendrites, and axons, resulting in a binding pattern similar to that reported for anti-Ca/anti-ARHGAP26, but did not react with recombinant ARHGAP26. Extensive control studies were performed to rule out a broad panel of previously described paraneoplastic and non-paraneoplastic anti-neural autoantibodies. The characteristic binding pattern as well as double staining experiments suggested inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor type 1 (ITPR1) as the target antigen. Verification of the antigen included specific neutralization of the tissue reaction following preadsorption with ITPR1 (but not ARHGAP26) and a dot-blot assay with purified ITPR1 protein. By contrast, anti-ARHGAP26-positive sera did not bind to ITPR1. In a parallel approach, a combination of histoimmunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry also identified ITPR1 as the target antigen. Finally, a recombinant cell-based immunofluorescence assay using HEK293 cells expressing ITPR1 and ARHGAP26, respectively, confirmed the identification of ITPR1. Mutations of ITPR1 have previously been implicated in spinocerebellar ataxia with and without cognitive decline. Our findings suggest a role of autoimmunity against ITPR1 in the pathogenesis of autoimmune cerebellitis and extend the panel of diagnostic markers for this disease.

Abstract
The guanine nucleotide exchange factor SLAT (SWAP-70-like adaptor of T cells) regulates T cell activation and differentiation by enabling Ca(2+) release from intracellular stores in response to stimulation of the T cell receptor (TCR). We found a TCR-induced association between SLAT and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor type 1 (IP3R1). The N-terminal region of SLAT, which contains two EF-hand motifs that we determined bound Ca(2+), and the SLAT pleckstrin homology (PH) domain independently bound to IP3R1 by associating with a conserved motif within the IP3R1 ligand-binding domain. Disruption of the SLAT-IP3R1 interaction with cell-permeable, IP3R1-based fusion peptides inhibited TCR-stimulated Ca(2+) signaling, activation of the transcription factor NFAT (nuclear factor of activated T cells), and production of cytokines, suggesting that this interaction is required for optimal T cell activation. The finding that SLAT is an IP3R1-interacting protein required for T cell activation suggests that this interaction could be a potential target for a selective immunosuppressive drug.

Abstract
The inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (InsP3Rs) are the major intracellular Ca(2+)-release channels in cells. Activity of InsP3Rs is essential for elementary and global Ca(2+) events in the cell. There are three InsP3Rs isoforms that are present in mammalian cells. In this review we will focus primarily on InsP3R type 1. The InsP3R1 is a predominant isoform in neurons and it is the most extensively studied isoform. Combination of biophysical and structural methods revealed key mechanisms of InsP3R function and modulation. Cell biological and biochemical studies lead to identification of a large number of InsP3R-binding proteins. InsP3Rs are involved in the regulation of numerous physiological processes, including learning and memory, proliferation, differentiation, development and cell death. Malfunction of InsP3R1 play a role in a number of neurodegenerative disorders and other disease states. InsP3Rs represent a potentially valuable drug target for treatment of these disorders and for modulating activity of neurons and other cells. Future studies will provide better understanding of physiological functions of InsP3Rs in health and disease.

Abstract
During aggregation of Dictyostelium discoideum, nondissipating, symmetrical, outwardly moving waves of cAMP direct cells towards aggregation centers. It has been assumed that the spatial and temporal characteristics of the front and back of each cAMP wave regulate both chemokinesis and chemotaxis. However, during the period preceding aggregation, cells acquire not only the capacity to chemotax in a spatial gradient of cAMP, but also in a spatial gradient of Ca(2+). The null mutant of the putative IplA Ca(2+) channel gene, iplA(-), undergoes normal chemotaxis in spatial gradients of cAMP and normal chemokinetic responses to increasing temporal gradients of cAMP, both generated in vitro. However, iplA(-) cells lose the capacity to undergo chemotaxis in response to a spatial gradient of Ca(2+), suggesting that IplA is either the Ca(2+) chemotaxis receptor or an essential component of the Ca(2+) chemotaxis regulatory pathway. In response to natural chemotactic waves generated by wild-type cells, the chemokinetic response of iplA(-) cells to the temporal dynamics of the cAMP wave is intact, but the capacity to reorient in the direction of the aggregation center at the onset of each wave is lost. These results suggest that transient Ca(2+) gradients formed between cells at the onset of each natural cAMP wave augment reorientation towards the aggregation center. If this hypothesis proves correct, it will provide a more complex contextual framework for interpreting D. discoideum chemotaxis.

Abstract
The Ca(2) (+) signals evoked by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) are built from elementary Ca(2) (+) release events involving progressive recruitment of IP(3) receptors (IP(3)R), intracellular Ca(2) (+) channels that are expressed in almost all animal cells. The smallest events ('blips') result from opening of single IP(3)R. Larger events ('puffs') reflect the near-synchronous opening of a small cluster of IP(3)R. These puffs become more frequent as the stimulus intensity increases and they eventually trigger regenerative Ca(2) (+) waves that propagate across the cell. This hierarchical recruitment of IP(3)R is important in allowing Ca(2) (+) signals to be delivered locally to specific target proteins or more globally to the entire cell. Co-regulation of IP(3)R by Ca(2) (+) and IP(3), the ability of a single IP(3)R rapidly to mediate a large efflux of Ca(2) (+) from the endoplasmic reticulum, and the assembly of IP(3)R into clusters are key features that allow IP(3)R to propagate Ca(2) (+) signals regeneratively. We review these properties of IP(3)R and the structural basis of IP(3)R behavior.

Abstract
Olfactory receptors (ORs) expressed at the cell surface of olfactory sensory neurons lining the olfactory epithelium are the first actors of events leading to odor perception and recognition. As for other mammalian ORs, few dog OR have been deorphanized, mainly because of the absence of good methodology and the difficulties encountered to express ORs at the cell surface. Within this work, our aim was 1) to deorphanize a large subset of dog OR and 2) to compare the implication of the 2 main pathways, namely the cAMP and inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3) pathways, in the transduction of the olfactory message. For this, we used 2 independent tests to assess the importance of each of these 2 pathways and analyzed the responses of 47 canine family 6 ORs to a number of aliphatic compounds. We found these ORs globally capable of inducing intracellular calcium elevation through the IP3 pathway as confirmed by the use of specific inhibitors and/or a cAMP increase in response to aldehyde exposure. We showed that the implication of the cAMP or/and IP3 pathway was dependent upon the ligand-receptor combination rather than on one or the other partner. Finally, by exposing OR-expressing cells to the 21 possible pairs of C6-C12 aliphatic aldehydes, we confirmed that some odorant pairs may have an inhibitory or additive effect. Altogether, these results reinforce the notion that odorant receptor subfamilies may constitute functional units and call for a more systematic use of 2 complementary tests interrogating the cAMP and IP3 pathways when deorphanizing ORs.

Abstract
In this study, we describe a phage display strategy to obtain human monoclonal single-chain Fv (scFv) antibodies binding target cancer cell surface proteins. By developing a cancer cell immunization protocol for SCID mice engrafted with human peripheral blood lymphocytes in combination with an antibody phage display method, we have isolated phage antibodies binding small-cell lung cancer cell line H889 by subtractive selection. One of the isolated scFv antibodies, 12EAb, recognized the E2 component of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC-E2) by immunoprecipitation according to MALDI-TOF MS analysis. Furthermore, we have confirmed the plasma membrane localization of PDC-E2 in small-cell lung cancer cells by immunocytochemistry and cell surface protein biotinylation, although PDC-E2 is usually located in the mitochondrial matrix. These results, including unique localization of identified antigens, were obtained by proteomic approaches. The present methods can be applied to generate human monoclonal scFv antibodies against tumor cells and to identify new molecular targets for immunotherapy and markers for diagnosis.

Abstract
The versatility of Ca(2+) as an intracellular messenger derives largely from the spatial organization of cytosolic Ca(2+) signals, most of which are generated by regulated openings of Ca(2+)-permeable channels. Most Ca(2+) channels are expressed in the plasma membrane (PM). Others, including the almost ubiquitous inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP(3)R) and their relatives, the ryanodine receptors (RyR), are predominantly expressed in membranes of the sarcoplasmic or endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Targeting of these channels to appropriate destinations underpins their ability to generate spatially organized Ca(2+) signals. All Ca(2+) channels begin life in the cytosol, and the vast majority are then functionally assembled in the ER, where they may either remain or be dispatched to other membranes. Here, by means of selective examples, we review two issues related to this trafficking of Ca(2+) channels via the ER. How do cells avoid wayward activity of Ca(2+) channels in transit as they pass from the ER via other membranes to their final destination? How and why do some cells express small numbers of the archetypal intracellular Ca(2+) channels, IP(3)R and RyR, in the PM?

Abstract
The depletion of intracellular Ca(2+) stores activates capacitative Ca(2+) entry (CCE), which is a Ca(2+)-selective and La(3+)-sensitive entry pathway. Here, we report a novel mechanism of La(3+)-resistant Ca(2+) entry that is synergistically regulated by B-cell-receptor (BCR) stimulation and Ca(2+) store depletion. In DT40 cells, stimulation of BCRs with anti-IgM antibodies induced Ca(2+) release and subsequent Ca(2+) entry in the presence of 0.3 microM La(3+), a condition in which CCE is completely blocked. This phenomenon was not observed in inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor-deficient DT40 (IP3R-KO) cells. However, in response to thapsigargin pretreatment, BCR stimulation induced La(3+)-resistant Ca(2+) entry into both wild-type and IP3R-KO cells. These results indicate that BCR stimulation alone does not activate Ca(2+) entry, whereas BCR stimulation and depleted Ca(2+) stores (either due to IP3R-mediated Ca(2+) release or Ca(2+) uptake inhibition) work in concert to activate La(3+)-resistant Ca(2+) entry. This Ca(2+) entry was inhibited by genistein. In addition, BCR-mediated Ca(2+) entry was completely abolished in Stim1-deficient DT40 cells and was restored by overexpression of YFP-Stim1, but was unaffected by double knockdown of Orai1 and Orai2. These results demonstrate a unique non-CCE pathway, in which Ca(2+) entry depends on Stim1- and BCR-mediated activation of tyrosine kinases.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca2+) signaling by the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1 (IL-1) is dependent on focal adhesions, which contain diverse structural and signaling proteins including protein phosphatases. We examined here the role of protein-tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) alpha in regulating IL-1-induced Ca2+ signaling in fibroblasts. IL-1 promoted recruitment of PTPalpha to focal adhesions and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) fractions, as well as tyrosine phosphorylation of the ER Ca2+ release channel IP3R. In response to IL-1, catalytically active PTPalpha was required for Ca2+ release from the ER, Src-dependent phosphorylation of IP3R1 and accumulation of IP3R1 in focal adhesions. In pulldown assays and immunoprecipitations PTPalpha was required for the association of PTPalpha with IP3R1 and c-Src, and this association was increased by IL-1. Collectively, these data indicate that PTPalpha acts as an adaptor to mediate functional links between focal adhesions and the ER that enable IL-1-induced Ca2+ signaling.

Abstract
Phosphorylation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (InsP(3)R) by PKA represents an important, common route for regulation of Ca(2+) release. Following phosphorylation of the S2 splice variant of InsP(3)R-1 (S2-InsP-1), Ca(2+) release is markedly potentiated. In this study we utilize the plasma membrane (PM) expression of InsP(3)R-1 and phosphorylation state mutant InsP(3)R-1 to study how this regulation occurs at the single InsP(3)R-1 channel level. DT40-3KO cells stably expressing rat S2- InsP(3)R-1 were generated and studied in the whole-cell mode of the patch clamp technique. At hyperpolarized holding potentials, small numbers of unitary currents (average approximately 1.7 per cell) were observed which were dependent on InsP(3) and the presence of functional InsP(3)R-1, and regulated by both cytoplasmic Ca(2+) and ATP. Raising cAMP markedly enhanced the open probability (P(o)) of the InsP(3)R-1 and induced bursting activity, characterized by extended periods of rapid channel openings and subsequent prolonged refractory periods. The activity, as measured by the P(o) of the channel, of a non-phosphorylatable InsP(3)R-1 construct (Ser1589Ala/Ser1755Ala InsP(3)R-1) was markedly less than wild-type (WT) InsP(3)R-1 and right shifted some approximately 15-fold when the concentration dependency was compared to a phosphomimetic construct (Ser1589Glu/Ser1755Glu InsP(3)R-1). No change in conductance of the channel was observed. This shift in apparent InsP(3) sensitivity occurred without a change in InsP(3) binding or Ca(2+) dependency of activation or inactivation. Biophysical analysis indicated that channel activity can be described by three states: an open state, a long lived closed state which manifests itself as long interburst intervals, and a short-lived closed state. Bursting activity occurs as the channel shuttles rapidly between the open and short-lived closed state. The predominant effect of InsP(3)R-1 phosphorylation is to increase the likelihood of extended bursting activity and thus markedly augment Ca(2+) release. These analyses provide insight into the mechanism responsible for augmenting InsP(3)R-1 channel activity following phosphorylation and moreover should be generally useful for further detailed investigation of the biophysical properties of InsP(3)R.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptors (IP3Rs) are Ca2+ channels that localize to intracellular Ca2+ stores such as the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Recently, IP3Rs were found to participate in the formation of the cytoskeleton and cellular adhesions. In this study, we examined the cellular localization of type I, II, and III IP3Rs to assess their role in cellular adhesion in rat osteoclasts. Rat bone marrow cells were cultured in α-MEM with 10% fetal bovine serum, M-CSF, RANKL, and 1,25(OH)2D3 for 1 week to promote osteoclast formation. Type I, II, and III IP3R expression in the osteoclasts was then examined by RT-PCR. Double-staining was performed using antibodies against type I, II, and III IP3Rs and DiOC6, an ER marker, or TRITC-phalloidin, an actin filament marker. Expression of all three IP3Rs was detected in the newly formed osteoclasts; however, the localization of the type I and II IP3Rs was predominantly close to nuclear, and possibly colocalized with the ER, while the type III IP3Rs were localized to the ER and podosomes, actin-rich adhesion structures in osteoclasts. These findings suggest that type III IP3Rs are associated with osteoclast adhesion.

Abstract
Our previous study demonstrated that FSH-induced immediate Ca(2+) influx in rat Sertoli cells (SCs) is mediated by the Galphah/phospholipase C-delta1 (PLC-delta1) signaling pathway. As to which Ca(2+) channel is responsible for such Ca(2+) influx was not understood. In this study, thapsigargin triggered an in-store calcium release and evoked a 1.5-fold elevation of intracellular Ca(2+) in Ca(2+)-free media, whereas FSH exhibited no effect. The readdition of CaCl(2) (2.5 mm) to FSH-pretreated or thapsigargin-sensitized SCs in Ca(2+)-free media immediately elicited a rapid Ca(2+) influx or a 2-fold increase of second intracellular Ca(2+) elevation, respectively. The addition of Ca(2+) chelator EGTA (0.2 mm) reduced the FSH-induced elevation of intracellular Ca(2+) in SCs incubated with CaCl(2). However, pretreatment with dantrolene (25 microM), which inhibits in-store calcium release, did not affect the FSH-induced elevation of intracellular Ca(2+). NiCl(2) (10 microM), a T-type calcium channel blocker, abolished the FSH-induced SC Ca(2+) influx. Furthermore, mibefradil (10 and 100 microm), another specific blocker for T-type Ca(2+) channels, dose-dependently suppressed the FSH-induced Ca(2+) influx. In contrast, nifedipine (10 and 50 microm) or omega-conotoxin GVIA (100 and 500 nm), blocker of L- or N-type Ca(2+) channels, respectively, did not affect the FSH-induced SC Ca(2+) influx. On the other hand, FSH-induced Ca(2+) influx was significantly reduced by pretreatment of SCs with myristoylated synthetic peptide (0.1 and 1 microm) of PLC-delta1 fragment TIPWNSLKQGYRHVHLL but not affected by 2',5'-dideoxyadenosine (3 and 15 microm), a selective inhibitor of adenylate cyclase. In conclusion, the FSH-induced Galphah/PLC-delta1 pathway-dependent Ca(2+) influx of rat SCs is mediated by T-type Ca(2+) channels and independent of in-store calcium release.

Abstract
It is known that the Na/K-ATPase alpha1 subunit interacts directly with inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP(3)) receptors. In this study we tested whether this interaction is required for extracellular stimuli to efficiently regulate endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca(2+) release. Using cultured pig kidney LLC-PK1 cells as a model, we demonstrated that graded knockdown of the cellular Na/K-ATPase alpha1 subunit resulted in a parallel attenuation of ATP-induced ER Ca(2+) release. When the knockdown cells were rescued by knocking in a rat alpha1, the expression of rat alpha1 restored not only the cellular Na/K-ATPase but also ATP-induced ER Ca(2+) release. Mechanistically, this defect in ATP-induced ER Ca(2+) release was neither due to the changes in the amount or the function of cellular IP(3) and P2Y receptors nor the ER Ca(2+) content. However, the alpha1 knockdown did redistribute cellular IP(3) receptors. The pool of IP(3) receptors that resided close to the plasma membrane was abolished. Because changes in the plasma membrane proximity could reduce the efficiency of signal transmission from P2Y receptors to the ER, we further determined the dose-dependent effects of ATP on protein kinase Cepsilon activation and ER Ca(2+) release. The data showed that the alpha1 knockdown de-sensitized the ATP-induced ER Ca(2+) release but not PKCepsilon activation. Moreover, expression of the N terminus of Na/K-ATPase alpha1 subunit not only disrupted the formation of the Na/K-ATPase-IP(3) receptor complex but also abolished the ATP-induced Ca(2+) release. Finally, we observed that the alpha1 knockdown was also effective in attenuating ER Ca(2+) release provoked by angiotensin II and epidermal growth factor.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3R) are modulated by the second messenger IP3, which induces intracellular calcium release. Using immunohistochemical techniques, we show that the three isoforms are expressed in sciatic nerve. IP3R1 and IP3R2 are mainly present in the nucleus of Schwann cells. IP3R1 is also expressed in Schmidt-Lanterman incisures. IP3R3 is primarily localized at very high levels in nonmyelinating Schwann cells. Interestingly, the three isoforms are expressed at the nodes of Ranvier. IP3R1 is clustered at the node of Ranvier, in a distribution that is similar to the Nav1.6 sodium channels in the sciatic nerve. IP3R3 is present in the paranodal regions of the nodes. IP3R2 is concentrated in the vicinity of the node, and the outer Schwann cell cytoplasm similar to the Kv1.5 potassium channel.

Abstract
Herpes simplex viruses (HSV) harness cellular calcium signaling pathways to facilitate viral entry. Confocal microscopy and small interfering RNA (siRNA) were used to identify the source of the calcium and to dissect the requisite viral-cell interactions. Binding of HSV to human epithelial cells induced no calcium response, but shifting the cells to temperatures permissive for penetration triggered increases in plasma membrane calcium followed by a global release of intracellular calcium. Transfection with siRNA targeting the proteoglycan syndecan-2 blocked viral binding and abrogated any calcium response. Transfection with siRNA targeting nectin-1, a glycoprotein D receptor, also prevented both membrane and intracellular calcium responses. In contrast, the membrane response was preserved after transfection with siRNA targeting integrinalphav, a novel glycoprotein H receptor. The membrane response, however, was not sufficient for viral entry, which required interactions with integrinalphav and release of inositol-triphosphate receptor-dependent intracellular calcium stores. Thus, calcium plays a critical, complex role in HSV entry.

Abstract
Mechanisms by which odorants activate signaling pathways in addition to cAMP are hard to evaluate in heterogeneous mixtures of primary olfactory neurons. We used single cell calcium imaging to analyze the response to odorant through odorant receptor (OR) U131 in the olfactory epithelial cell line Odora (Murrell and Hunter 1999), a model system with endogenous olfactory signaling pathways. Because adenylyl cyclase levels are low, agents activating cAMP formation do not elevate calcium, thus unmasking independent signaling mediated by OR via phospholipase C (PLC), inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)), and its receptor. Unexpectedly, we found that extracellular calcium is required for odor-induced calcium elevation without the release of intracellular calcium, even though the latter pathway is intact and can be stimulated by ATP. Relevant signaling components of the PLC pathway and G protein isoforms are identified by western blot in Odora cells as well as in olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs), where they are localized to the ciliary zone or cell bodies and axons of OSNs by immunohistochemistry. Biotinylation studies establish that IP(3) receptors type 2 and 3 are at the cell surface in Odora cells. Thus, individual ORs are capable of elevating calcium through pathways not directly mediated by cAMP and this may provide another avenue for odorant signaling in the olfactory system.

Abstract
Given the importance of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP(3)R)/Ca(2+) channels in the control of intracellular Ca(2+) concentrations, we determined the relative concentrations of the IP(3)R isoforms in subcellular organelles, based on serially sectioned electron micrographs. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) was estimated to contain 15-20% of each of the three IP(3)R isoforms while secretory granules contained 58-69%. The nucleus contained approximately 15% each of IP(3)R-1 and -2, but 25% of IP(3)R-3, whereas the plasma membrane contained approximately 1% or less of each. These suggested that secretory granules, the nucleus and ER are at the center of IP(3)-dependent intracellular Ca(2+) control mechanisms in chromaffin cells.

Abstract
We applied exogenous guanosine trisphosphate, GTP, to Paramecium tetraurelia cells injected with Fura Red for analysing changes of free intracellular Ca(2+) concentrations, [Ca(2+)](i), during periodic back-/forward swimming thus induced. Strain ginA (non-responsive to GTP) shows no Ca(2+) signal upon GTP application. In strain nd6 (normal Ca(2+) signalling) an oscillating [Ca(2+)](i) response with a prominent first peak occurs upon GTP stimulation, but none after mock-stimulation or after 15 min adaptation to GTP. While this is in agreement with previous electrophysiological analyses, we now try to identify more clearly the source(s) of Ca(2+). Stimulation of nd6 cells, after depletion of Ca(2+) from their cortical stores (alveolar sacs), shows the same Ca(2+) oscillation pattern but with reduced amplitudes, and a normal behavioural response is observed. Stimulation with GTP, supplemented with the Ca(2+) chelator BAPTA, results in loss of the first prominent Ca(2+) peak, in reduction of the following Ca(2+) amplitudes, and in the absence of any behavioural response. Both these observations strongly suggest that for the initiation of GTP-mediated back-/forward swimming Ca(2+) from the extracellular medium is needed. For the maintenance of the Ca(2+) oscillations a considerable fraction must come from internal stores, probably other than alveolar sacs, rather likely from the endoplasmic reticulum.

Abstract
We examined the function of GFP-IP(3)R3 (green fluorescent protein-tagged inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor type 3) in Ca(2+) release and entry using a mutant DT40 cell line (IP(3)R-KO) in which all three IP(3)R genes had been disrupted. GFP-IP(3)R3 fluorescence largely overlapped with the distribution of endoplasmic reticulum, whereas a portion of GFP-IP(3)R3 apparently co-localized with the plasma membrane. The application of IP(3) to permeabilized WT (wild-type) DT40 cells induced Ca(2+) release from internal stores. Although this did not occur in IP(3)R-KO cells it was restored by expression of GFP-IP(3)R3. In intact cells, application of anti-IgM, an activator of the BCR (B-cell receptor), or trypsin, a protease-activated receptor 2 agonist, did not cause any Ca(2+) response in IP(3)R-KO cells, whereas these treatments induced oscillatory or transient Ca(2+) responses in GFP-IP(3)R3-expressing IP(3)R-KO cells, as well as in WT cells. In addition, BCR activation elicited Ca(2+) entry in WT and GFP-IP(3)R3-expressing IP(3)R-KO cells but not in IP(3)R-KO cells. This BCR-mediated Ca(2+) entry was observed in the presence of La(3+), which blocks capacitative Ca(2+) entry. Thapsigargin depleted Ca(2+) stores and led to Ca(2+) entry in IP(3)R-KO cells irrespective of GFP-IP(3)R3 expression. In contrast with BCR stimulation, thapsigargin-induced Ca(2+) entry was completely blocked by La(3+), suggesting that the BCR-mediated Ca(2+) entry pathway is distinct from the capacitative Ca(2+) entry pathway. The present study demonstrates that GFP-IP(3)R3 could compensate for native IP(3)R in both IP(3)-induced Ca(2+) release and BCR-mediated Ca(2+) entry.

Abstract
The inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate (IP3) receptor (IP3R) is a Ca2+ release channel that responds to the second messenger IP3. Exquisite modulation of intracellular Ca2+ release via IP3Rs is achieved by the ability of IP3R to integrate signals from numerous small molecules and proteins including nucleotides, kinases, and phosphatases, as well as nonenzyme proteins. Because the ion conduction pore composes only approximately 5% of the IP3R, the great bulk of this large protein contains recognition sites for these substances. Through these regulatory mechanisms, IP3R modulates diverse cellular functions, which include, but are not limited to, contraction/excitation, secretion, gene expression, and cellular growth. We review the unique properties of the IP3R that facilitate cell-type and stimulus-dependent control of function, with special emphasis on protein-binding partners.

Abstract
In T lymphocytes, engagement of the antigen receptor leads to a biphasic Ca2+ flux consisting of a mobilization of Ca2+ from intracellular stores followed by a lower but sustained elevation that is dependent on extracellular Ca2+. The prolonged Ca2+ flux is required for activation of transcription factors and for subsequent activation of the T cell. Ca2+ influx requires as yet unidentified Ca2+ channels, which potentially play a role in T cell activation. Here we present evidence that human T cells express a non-voltage-gated Ca2+ channel related to L-type voltage-gated Ca2+ channels. Drugs that block classical L-type channels inhibited the initial phase of the antigen receptor-induced Ca2+ flux and could also inhibit the sustained phase of the Ca2+ signal suggesting a role for the L-type Ca2+ channel in antigen receptor signaling. T cells expressed transcripts for the alpha(1) 1.2 and alpha(1) 1.3 pore-forming subunits of L-type voltage-gated Ca2+ channels and transcripts for all four known beta-subunits including several potential new splice variants. Jurkat T leukemia cells expressed a small amount of full-length alpha(1)1.2 protein but the dominant form was a truncated protein identical in size to a truncated alpha(1) 1.2 protein known to be expressed in B lymphocytes. They further expressed a truncated form of the alpha(1) 1.3 subunit and auxiliary beta1- and beta3-subunit proteins. Our data strongly suggest that functional but non-voltage-gated L-type Ca2+ channels are expressed at the plasma membrane in T cells and play a role in the antigen receptor-mediated Ca2+ flux in these cells.

Abstract
Calcineurin is a calcium-dependent, serine/threonine phosphatase that functions as a signaling intermediate. In this study, we investigated the role of calcineurin in transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta)-mediated cellular effects and examined the signaling pathway involved in activation of calcineurin. Calcineurin is activated by TGF-beta in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Consistent with increased phosphatase activity, the calcineurin substrate, NFATc1, is dephosphorylated and transported to the nucleus. Inhibition of calcineurin prior to the addition of TGF-beta revealed that calcineurin is required for TGF-beta-mediated accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins but not cell hypertrophy. Conversely, overexpression of constitutively active calcineurin was sufficient to induce ECM protein expression. The mechanism of calcineurin activation by TGF-beta was found to be induction of a low, sustained increase of intracellular calcium. Chelation of extracellular calcium blocked both TGF-beta-mediated calcium influx and calcineurin activity. Finally, calcium entry was found to be dependent upon generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) including superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide. Accordingly, inhibition of ROS generation also blocked TGF-beta-mediated calcineurin phosphatase activity and decreased ECM accumulation. In conclusion, this study describes a new pathway for TGF-beta-mediated regulation of ECM via generation of ROS, calcium influx, and activation of calcineurin.

Abstract
In T lymphocytes, sustained calcium (Ca2+) influx through Ca2+ channels localized in the plasma membrane is critical for T cell activation and proliferation. Previous studies indicated that voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels (VDCCs) play a role in Ca2+ mobilization during T lymphocyte activation. However, the role of VDCCs in otherwise nonexcitable cells is still poorly understood. We used RT-PCR to identify a transcript encoding the pore-forming alpha1F-subunit of an L-type Ca2+ channel in T lymphocytes. Its identity was confirmed by DNA sequencing. To further investigate the contribution of Ca2+ influx through VDCCs, we assessed the effects of the 1,4-dihydropyridine L-type Ca2+ channel agonist, (+/-) Bay K 8644, and antagonist, nifedipine, on the human Jurkat T cell leukemia line, human peripheral blood T lymphocytes and mouse splenocytes. We found that treatment of T lymphocytes with (+/-) Bay K 8644 increased intracellular Ca2+ and induced the activation of phosphoextracellular-regulated kinase 1/2 (Erk1/2), whereas nifedipine blocked Ca2+ influx, the activity of Erk1/2 and nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT), interleukin-2 (IL-2) production, and IL-2 receptor expression. Nifedipine also significantly suppressed splenocyte proliferation in an in vitro mixed lymphocyte reaction and the proliferation of male antigen (H-Y)-specific T cell receptor-transgenic CD8+ T cells in transplanted male mice in vivo. Taken together these novel findings indicate that an L-type Ca2+ channel plays a significant role in the Ca2+ influx pathways mediating T lymphocyte activation and proliferation in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3)-induced Ca2+ release from intracellular stores displays complex kinetic behavior. While it well established that cytosolic [Ca2+] can modulate release by acting on the InsP3 receptor directly, the role of the filling state of internal Ca2+stores in modulating Ca2+ release remains unclear. Here we have reevaluated this topic using a technique that permits rapid and reversible changes in free [Ca2+] in internal stores of living intact cells without altering cytoplasmic [Ca2+], InsP3 receptors, or sarcoendoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPases (SERCAs). N,N,N',N'-Tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylene diamine (TPEN), a membrane-permeant, low affinity Ca2+ chelator was used to manipulate [Ca2+] in intracellular stores, while [Ca2+] changes within the store were monitored directly with the low-affinity Ca2+ indicator, mag-fura-2, in intact BHK-21 cells. 200 microM TPEN caused a rapid drop in luminal free [Ca2+] and significantly reduced the extent of the response to stimulation with 100 nm bradykinin, a calcium-mobilizing agonist. The same effect was observed when intact cells were pretreated with 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid(acetoxymethyl ester) (BAPTA-AM) to buffer cytoplasmic [Ca2+] changes. Although inhibition of Ca2+ uptake using the SERCA inhibitor tBHQ permitted significantly larger release of Ca2+ from stores, TPEN still attenuated the release in the presence of tBHQ in BAPTA-AM-loaded cells. These results demonstrate that the filling state of stores modulates the magnitude of InsP3-induced Ca2+release by additional mechanism(s) that are independent of regulation by cytoplasmic [Ca2+] or effects on SERCA pumps.

Abstract
Calcyon is called a "cross-talk accessory protein" because the mechanism by which it enables the typically Gs-linked D1 dopamine receptor to stimulate intracellular calcium release depends on a priming step involving heterologous Gq-linked G-protein-coupled receptor activation. The details of how priming facilitates the D1R calcium response have yet to be precisely elucidated. The present work shows that calcyon is constitutively localized both in vesicular and plasma membrane compartments within HEK293 cells. In addition, surface biotinylation and luminescence assays revealed that priming stimulates a 2-fold increase in the levels of calcyon expressed on the cell surface and that subsequent D1R activation produces further accumulation of the protein in the plasma membrane. The effects of priming and D1R agonists were blocked by nocodazole implicating microtubules in the delivery of calcyon-containing vesicles to the cell surface. Accumulation of calcyon in the plasma membrane correlated well with increased intracellular calcium levels as thapsigargin mimicked, and 2-aminoethoxydiphenylborane abrogated, the effects of priming. KN-62, an inhibitor of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) also blocked the effects of priming and D1R agonists. Furthermore, expression of constitutively active forms of the kinase bypassed the requirement for priming indicating that CaMKII is a key effector in the Ca2+ and microtubule-dependent delivery of calcyon to the cell surface.

Abstract
We tested the hypothesis that RhoA, a monomeric GTP-binding protein, induces association of inositol trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) with transient receptor potential channel (TRPC1), and thereby activates store depletion-induced Ca2+ entry in endothelial cells. We showed that RhoA upon activation with thrombin associated with both IP3R and TRPC1. Thrombin also induced translocation of a complex consisting of Rho, IP3R, and TRPC1 to the plasma membrane. IP3R and TRPC1 translocation and association required Rho activation because the response was not seen in C3 transferase (C3)-treated cells. Rho function inhibition using Rho dominant-negative mutant or C3 dampened Ca2+ entry regardless of whether Ca2+ stores were emptied by thrombin, thapsigargin, or inositol trisphosphate. Rho-induced association of IP3R with TRPC1 was dependent on actin filament polymerization because latrunculin (which inhibits actin polymerization) prevented both the association and Ca2+ entry. We also showed that thrombin produced a sustained Rho-dependent increase in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration [Ca2+]i in endothelial cells overexpressing TRPC1. We further showed that Rho-activated Ca2+ entry via TRPC1 is important in the mechanism of the thrombin-induced increase in endothelial permeability. In summary, Rho activation signals interaction of IP3R with TRPC1 at the plasma membrane of endothelial cells, and triggers Ca2+ entry following store depletion and the resultant increase in endothelial permeability.

Abstract
Protein 4.1N was identified as a binding molecule for the C-terminal cytoplasmic tail of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor type 1 (IP(3)R1) using a yeast two-hybrid system. 4.1N and IP(3)R1 associate in both subconfluent and confluent Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, a well studied tight polarized epithelial cell line. In subconfluent MDCK cells, 4.1N is distributed in the cytoplasm and the nucleus; IP(3)R1 is localized in the cytoplasm. In confluent MDCK cells, both 4.1N and IP(3)R1 are predominantly translocated to the basolateral membrane domain, whereas 4.1R, the prototypical homologue of 4.1N, is localized at the tight junctions (Mattagajasingh, S. N., Huang, S. C., Hartenstein, J. S., and Benz, E. J., Jr. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 30573-30585), and other endoplasmic reticulum marker proteins are still present in the cytoplasm. Moreover, the 4.1N-binding region of IP(3)R1 is necessary and sufficient for the localization of IP(3)R1 at the basolateral membrane domain. A fragment of the IP(3)R1-binding region of 4.1N blocks the localization of co-expressed IP(3)R1 at the basolateral membrane domain. These data indicate that 4.1N is required for IP(3)R1 translocation to the basolateral membrane domain in polarized MDCK cells.

Abstract
Ca(2+) influx has been postulated to modulate the signaling pathway of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta); however, the underlying mechanism and functional significance of TGF-beta-induced stimulation of Ca(2+) influx are unclear. We show here that TGF-beta stimulates Ca(2+) influx in mesangial cells without Ca(2+) release. The influx of Ca(2+) is prevented by pharmacological inhibitors of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP(3)R) as well as specific antibodies to type III IP(3)R (IP(3)RIII) but not to type I IP(3)R (IP(3)RI). TGF-beta enhances plasma membrane localization of IP(3)RIII, whereas the sarcoplasmic-endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA) preferentially translocates to the nucleus. Untreated mesangial cells exhibit actin filamentous protrusions on the cell surface, and treatment with TGF-beta dramatically reduces this pattern. The alterations in the actin cytoskeleton by TGF-beta are dependent on TGF-beta-induced Ca(2+) influx. These studies identify a novel pathway by which TGF-beta regulates Ca(2+) influx and induces cytoskeletal alterations.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) is an intracellular Ca2+ channel that releases Ca2+ into the cytosol and its subcellular distribution is believed to have significant effects on Ca2+ signalling. We constructed a plasmid vector containing full-length rat type 3 IP3R linked to GFP (GFP-IP3R) for expression in mammalian cells. Western blot analyses revealed that the expressed fusion protein contained both GFP and full-length type 3 IP3R. Fluorescence confocal microscopy showed that the fluorescence of GFP-IP3R3 was distributed to reticular network structures, even after cell permeabilization with saponin. We further visualized intracellular membranes with DiOC6, a vital fluorescent marker for intracellular membranes, and provide evidence that the distribution of GFP-IP3R3 overlaps with the distribution of the endoplasmic reticulum. Our results indicate that GFP-IP3R3 can be used to visualize IP3R in living cells, and pave the way for subsequent mutational and functional studies.
