G protein-coupled estrogen receptor promotes acrosome reaction via regulation of Ca2+ signaling in mouse sperm. Biol Reprod 2022; 107:1026-1034. [PMID: 35774023 DOI: 10.1093/biolre/ioac136] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2022] [Revised: 05/18/2022] [Accepted: 06/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER), a seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor, mediates the rapid pre-genomic signaling actions of estrogen and derivatives thereof. The expression of GPER is extensive in mammal male reproductive system. However, the functional role of GPER in mouse sperm has not yet been well recognized. This study revealed that GPER was expressed at the acrosome and the mid-flagellum of the mouse sperm. The endogenous GPER ligand 17β-estradiol and the selective GPER agonist G1 increased intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in mouse sperm, which could be abolished by G15, an antagonist of GPER. In addition, the G1-stimulated Ca2+ response was attenuated by interference with the phospholipase C (PLC) signaling pathways or by blocking the cation sperm channel (CatSper). Chlortetracycline staining assay showed that the activation of GPER increased the incidence of acrosome-reacted sperm. Conclusively, GPER was located at the acrosome and mid-flagellum of the mouse sperm. Activation of GPER triggered the elevation of [Ca2+]i through PLC-dependent Ca2+ mobilization and CatSper-mediated Ca2+ influx, which promoted the acrosome reaction in mouse sperm.

Rodríguez LR, Lapeña-Luzón T, Benetó N, Beltran-Beltran V, Pallardó FV, Gonzalez-Cabo P, Navarro JA. Therapeutic Strategies Targeting Mitochondrial Calcium Signaling: A New Hope for Neurological Diseases? Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11010165. [PMID: 35052668 PMCID: PMC8773297 DOI: 10.3390/antiox11010165] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2021] [Revised: 01/12/2022] [Accepted: 01/13/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Calcium (Ca2+) is a versatile secondary messenger involved in the regulation of a plethora of different signaling pathways for cell maintenance. Specifically, intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis is mainly regulated by the endoplasmic reticulum and the mitochondria, whose Ca2+ exchange is mediated by appositions, termed endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondria-associated membranes (MAMs), formed by proteins resident in both compartments. These tethers are essential to manage the mitochondrial Ca2+ influx that regulates the mitochondrial function of bioenergetics, mitochondrial dynamics, cell death, and oxidative stress. However, alterations of these pathways lead to the development of multiple human diseases, including neurological disorders, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Friedreich's ataxia, and Charcot-Marie-Tooth. A common hallmark in these disorders is mitochondrial dysfunction, associated with abnormal mitochondrial Ca2+ handling that contributes to neurodegeneration. In this work, we highlight the importance of Ca2+ signaling in mitochondria and how the mechanism of communication in MAMs is pivotal for mitochondrial maintenance and cell homeostasis. Lately, we outstand potential targets located in MAMs by addressing different therapeutic strategies focused on restoring mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake as an emergent approach for neurological diseases.

Abstract
To gain better insight into the dynamic interaction between cells and their environment, we developed the agonist-induced functional analysis and cell sorting (aiFACS) technique, which allows the simultaneous recording and sorting of cells in real-time according to their immediate and individual response to a stimulus. By modulating the aiFACS selection parameters, testing different developmental times, using various stimuli, and multiplying the analysis of readouts, it is possible to analyze cell populations of any normal or pathological tissue. The association of aiFACS with single-cell transcriptomics allows the construction of functional tissue cartography based on specific pharmacological responses of cells. As a proof of concept, we used aiFACS on the dissociated mouse brain, a highly heterogeneous tissue, enriching it in interneurons by stimulation with KCl or with AMPA, an agonist of the glutamate receptors, followed by sorting based on calcium levels. After AMPA stimulus, single-cell transcriptomics of these aiFACS-selected interneurons resulted in a nine-cluster classification. Furthermore, we used aiFACS on interneurons derived from the brain of the Fmr1-KO mouse, a rodent model of fragile X syndrome. We showed that these interneurons manifest a generalized defective response to AMPA compared with wild-type cells, affecting all the analyzed cell clusters at one specific postnatal developmental time.

Abstract
Phospholipids are vital constituents of living cells, as they are involved in signaling and membrane formation. Mass spectrometry analysis of many phospholipids is preferentially performed in the negative ion-mode because of their acidic nature. Here we have studied the potential of a digallium and dizinc complex to charge-invert a range of different types of phospholipids and measured their ion yield and fragmentation behavior in positive ion-mode tandem mass spectrometry. The dimetal complexes bind specifically the phosphate groups of phospholipids and add an excess of up to three positive charges per phosphate group. Three different phosphoinositide phosphates (mono-, di-, and triphosphorylated inositides), a phosphatidic acid, a phosphatidylcholine, a phosphatidylethanolamine, and a phosphatidylglycerol were investigated. The intensities obtained in positive ion-mode of phosphoinositide phosphates and phosphatidic acid bound to {LGa2}(5+) were between 2.5- and 116-fold higher than that of the unmodified lipids in the negative ion-mode. Native phosphoinositide ions yielded upon CID in the negative ion-mode predominantly product ions due to losses of H3PO4, PO3(-) and H2O. In comparison, CID spectra of {LGa2}(5+)-bound phosphoinositides generally resulted in fragment ions corresponding to loss of the full diglyceride chain as well as the remaining headgroup bound to {LGa2}(5+) as the most abundant peaks. A number of signature fragment ions of moderate abundance were observed that allowed for distinction between the three regioisomers of 1,2-di(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-[phosphoinositol-x,y-bisphosphate] (PI(3,4)P2, PI(3,5)P2, PI(4,5)P2).

Abstract
The thrombospondins (TSPs) are a family of matricellular proteins that regulate cellular phenotype through interactions with a myriad of other proteins and proteoglycans. We have identified a novel interaction of the members of the TSP gene family with stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1). This association is robust since it is preserved in Triton X-100, can be detected with multiple anti-TSP-1 and anti-STIM1 antibodies, and is detected in a wide range of cell types. We have also found that STIM1 co-immunoprecipitates with TSP-4 and cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), and that a recombinant version of the N-terminal domain of STIM1 binds to the signature domain of TSP-1 and COMP. The association of the TSPs with STIM1 is observed in both the presence and absence of calcium indicating that the calcium-dependent conformation of the signature domain of TSPs is not required for binding. Thus, this interaction could occur in the ER under conditions of normal or low calcium concentration. Furthermore, we observed that the expression of COMP in HEK 293 cells decreases STIM1-mediated calcium release activated calcium (CRAC) channel currents and increases arachidonic acid calcium (ARC) channel currents. These data indicate that the TSPs regulate STIM1 function and participate in the reciprocal regulation of two channels that mediate calcium entry into the cell.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in different anatomic locations possess diverse biological activities. Maintaining the pluripotent state and differentiation depend on the expression and regulation of thousands of genes, but it remains unclear which molecular mechanisms underlie MSC diversity. Thus, potential MSC applications are restricted. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are implicated in the complex molecular circuitry of cellular processes. We investigated differences in lncRNA and mRNA expression profiles between bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) and periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) with lncRNA microarray assays and bioinformatics analysis. In PDLSCs, numerous lncRNAs were significantly upregulated (n = 457) or downregulated (n = 513) compared to BMSCs. Furthermore, 1,578 mRNAs were differentially expressed. These genes implicated cellular pathways that may be associated with MSC characteristics, including apoptosis, MAPK, cell cycle, and Wnt signaling pathway. Signal-net analysis indicated that phospholipase C beta 4, filamin B beta, calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II gamma, and the ionotropic glutamate receptor, AMPA 1, had the highest betweenness centrality among significant genes in the differential gene profile network. A comparison between the coding-noncoding gene coexpression networks of PDLSCs and BMSCs identified chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 12 as a core regulatory factor in MSC biology. These results provided insight into the mechanisms underlying MSC biology.

Abstract
The plasma membrane Na(+)/H(+) exchanger 1 (NHE1) is rapidly activated in response to various stimuli. The membrane-proximal cytoplasmic region (∼60 residues), termed the lipid-interacting domain (LID), is an important regulatory domain of NHE1. Here, we used a pharmacological approach to further characterize the role of LID in the regulation of NHE1. Pharmacological analysis using staurosporine-like indolocarbazole and bisindolylmaleimide compounds suggested that the phorbol ester- and receptor agonist-induced activation of NHE1 occurs through a protein kinase C-independent mechanism. In particular, only indolocarbazole compounds that inhibited NHE1 activation were able to interact with the LID, suggesting that the inhibition of NHE1 activation is achieved through the direct action of these compounds on the LID. Furthermore, in addition to phorbol esters and a receptor agonist, okadaic acid and hyperosmotic stress, which are known to activate NHE1 through unknown mechanisms, were found to promote membrane association of the LID concomitant with NHE1 activation; these effects were inhibited by staurosporine, as well as by a mutation in the LID. Binding experiments using the fluorescent ATP analog trinitrophenyl ATP revealed that ATP and the NHE1 activator phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate bind competitively to the LID. These findings suggest that modulation of NHE1 activity by various activators and inhibitors occurs through the direct binding of these molecules to the LID, which alters the association of the LID with the plasma membrane.

Abstract
Protease-activated receptors (PARs) represent a novel class of seven transmembrane domain G-protein coupled receptors, which are activated by proteolytic cleavage. PARs are present in a variety of cells and have been prominently implicated in the regulation of a number of vital functions. Here, lacrimal gland acinar cell responses to PAR activation were examined, with special reference to intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)]i) dynamics. In the present study, detection of acinar cell mRNA specific to known PAR subtypes was determined by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Only PAR2 mRNA was detected in acinar cells of lacrimal glands. Both trypsin and a PAR2-activating peptide (PAR2-AP), SLIGRL-NH2, induced an increase in [Ca(2+)]i in acinar cells. The removal of extracellular Ca(2+) and the use of Ca(2+) channel blockers did not inhibit PAR2-AP-induced [Ca(2+)]i increases. Furthermore, U73122 and xestospongin C failed to inhibit PAR2-induced increases in [Ca(2+)]i. The origin of the calcium influx observed after activated PAR2-induced Ca(2+) release from intracellular Ca(2+) stores was also evaluated. The NO donor, GEA 3162, mimicked the effects of PAR2 in activating non-capacitative calcium entry (NCCE). However, both calyculin A (100 nM) and a low concentration of Gd(3+) (5 μM) did not completely block the PAR2-AP-induced increase in [Ca(2+)]i. These findings indicated that PAR2 activation resulted primarily in Ca(2+) mobilization from intracellular Ca(2+) stores and that PAR2-mediated [Ca(2+)]i changes were mainly independent of IP3. RT-PCR indicated that TRPC 1, 3 and 6, which play a role in CCE and NCCE, are expressed in acinar cells. We suggest that PAR2-AP differentially regulates both NCCE and CCE, predominantly NCCE. Finally, our results suggested that PAR2 may function as a key receptor in calcium-related cell homeostasis under pathophysiological conditions such as tissue injury or inflammation.

The Na(+) gradient produced across the cardiac sarcolemma by the ATP-dependent Na(+)-pump is a constant source of energy for Na(+)-dependent transporters. The plasma membrane Na(+)/H(+) exchanger (NHE) is one such secondary active transporter, regulating intracellular pH, Na(+) concentration, and cell volume. NHE1, the major isoform found in the heart, is activated in response to a variety of stimuli such as hormones and mechanical stress. This important characteristic of NHE1 is intimately linked to heart diseases, including maladaptive cardiac hypertrophy and subsequent heart failure, as well as acute ischemic-reperfusion injury. NHE1 activation results in elevation of pH and intracellular Na(+) concentration, which potentially enhance downstream signaling cascades in the myocardium. Therefore, in addition to determining the mechanism underlying regulation of NHE1 activity, it is important to understand how the ionic signal produced by NHE1 is transmitted to the downstream targets. Extensive studies have identified many accessory factors that interact with NHE1. Here, we have summarized the recent progress on understanding the molecular mechanism underlying NHE1 regulation and have shown a possible signaling pathway leading to cardiac remodeling, which is initiated from NHE1. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled "Na(+) Regulation in Cardiac Myocytes".

Abstract
TRPC6 is a cation channel in the plasma membrane that plays a role in Ca(2+) entry after the stimulation of a G(q)-protein-coupled or tyrosine-kinase receptor. TRPC6 translocates to the plasma membrane upon stimulation and remains there as long as the stimulus is present. However, the mechanism that regulates the trafficking and activation of TRPC6 are unclear. In this study we showed phosphoinositide 3-kinase and its antagonistic phosphatase, PTEN, are involved in the activation of TRPC6. The inhibition of PI3K by PIK-93, LY294002, or wortmannin decreased carbachol-induced translocation of TRPC6 to the plasma membrane and carbachol-induced net Ca(2+) entry into T6.11 cells. Conversely, a reduction of PTEN expression did not affect carbachol-induced externalization of TRPC6 but increased Ca(2+) entry through TRPC6 in T6.11 cells. We also showed that the PI3K/PTEN pathway regulates vasopressin-induced translocation of TRPC6 to the plasma membrane and vasopressin-induced Ca(2+) entry into A7r5 cells, which endogenously express TRPC6. In summary, we provided evidence that the PI3K/PTEN pathway plays an important role in the translocation of TRPC6 to the plasma membrane and may thus have a significant impact on Ca(2+) signaling in cells that endogenously express TRPC6.

Abstract
Ca(2+) is not only one of the most versatile and ubiquitous second messengers but also a well-established representative example of cell signaling. The identification of most key elements involved in Ca(2+) signaling enables a mechanistic and quantitative understanding of this particular pathway. Cellular behavior relies in general on the orchestration of molecular behavior leading to reliable cellular responses that allow for regulation and adaptation. Ca(2+) signaling uses a hierarchical organization to transform single molecule behavior into cell wide signals. We have recently shown experimentally that this organization carries single channel signatures onto the whole cell level and renders Ca(2+) oscillations stochastic. Here, we briefly review the co-evolution of experimental and theoretical studies in Ca(2+) -signaling and show how dynamic bottom-up modeling can be used to address -biological questions and illuminate biological principles of cell signaling.

Abstract
Microfluidics is a convenient platform to study the influences of fluid shear stress on calcium dynamics. Fluidic shear stress has been proven to affect bone cell functions and remodelling. We have developed a microfluidic system which can generate four shear flows in one device as a means to study cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](c)) dynamics of osteoblasts. Four shear forces were achieved by having four cell culture chambers with different widths while resistance correction channels compensated for the overall resistance to allow equal flow distribution towards the chambers. Computational simulation of the local shear stress distribution highlighted the preferred section in the cell chamber to measure the calcium dynamics. Osteoblasts showed an [Ca(2+)](c) increment proportional to the intensity of the shear stress from 0.03 to 0.30 Pa. A delay in response was observed with an activation threshold between 0.03 and 0.06 Pa. With computational modelling, our microfluidic device can offer controllable multishear stresses and perform quantitative comparisons of shear stress-induced intensity change of calcium in osteoblasts.

Abstract
Interactions between membrane proteins and the soluble fraction are essential for signal transduction and for regulating nutrient transport. To gain insights into the membrane-based interactome, 3,852 open reading frames (ORFs) out of a target list of 8,383 representing membrane and signaling proteins from Arabidopsis thaliana were cloned into a Gateway-compatible vector. The mating-based split ubiquitin system was used to screen for potential protein-protein interactions (pPPIs) among 490 Arabidopsis ORFs. A binary robotic screen between 142 receptor-like kinases (RLKs), 72 transporters, 57 soluble protein kinases and phosphatases, 40 glycosyltransferases, 95 proteins of various functions, and 89 proteins with unknown function detected 387 out of 90,370 possible PPIs. A secondary screen confirmed 343 (of 386) pPPIs between 179 proteins, yielding a scale-free network (r(2) = 0.863). Eighty of 142 transmembrane RLKs tested positive, identifying 3 homomers, 63 heteromers, and 80 pPPIs with other proteins. Thirty-one out of 142 RLK interactors (including RLKs) had previously been found to be phosphorylated; thus interactors may be substrates for respective RLKs. None of the pPPIs described here had been reported in the major interactome databases, including potential interactors of G-protein-coupled receptors, phospholipase C, and AMT ammonium transporters. Two RLKs found as putative interactors of AMT1;1 were independently confirmed using a split luciferase assay in Arabidopsis protoplasts. These RLKs may be involved in ammonium-dependent phosphorylation of the C-terminus and regulation of ammonium uptake activity. The robotic screening method established here will enable a systematic analysis of membrane protein interactions in fungi, plants and metazoa.

Abstract
A set of four (D(0), D(4), D(6), and D(10)) deuterium enriched 4-(dimethylamino)benzoic acid (DMABA) N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) ester reagents was developed that react with the primary amine group of glycerophosphoethanolamine (PE) lipids to create derivatives where all subclasses of DMABA labeled PE are detected by a common precursor ion scan. The positive ion collision induced dissociation data from (D(0), D(4), D(6), and D(10))-DMABA labeled PE standards indicated that a precursor ion scan of m/z 191.1, 195.1, 197.1, and 201.1 could be used to selectively detect (D(0), D(4), D(6), and D(10))-DMABA modified PE, respectively, in a complex biological mixture. The PE lipids from a time course (0, 30, 60, and 300 min) of 2,2'-azobis-(2-amidinopropane) hydrochloride (AAPH) treatment of liposomes made of RAW 264.7 cell phospholipids were each labeled with the D(0)-, D(4)-, D(10)-, and D(6)-DMABA NHS ester reagents, respectively. The DMABA derivatives revealed loss of endogenous PE lipids and an increase in oxidized PE lipid throughout the time course of AAPH treatment. These DMABA NHS ester reagents provide a universal scan for diacyl, ether, and plasmalogen PE lipids that cannot be readily observed otherwise, enable differential labeling, and provide an internal standard for each PE lipid.

Abstract
Protein kinase C (PKC) is considered crucial for hormonal Na(+)/H(+) exchanger (NHE1) activation because phorbol esters (PEs) strongly activate NHE1. However, here we report that rather than PKC, direct binding of PEs/diacylglycerol to the NHE1 lipid-interacting domain (LID) and the subsequent tighter association of LID with the plasma membrane mainly underlies NHE1 activation. We show that (i) PEs directly interact with the LID of NHE1 in vitro, (ii) like PKC, green fluorescent protein (GFP)-labeled LID translocates to the plasma membrane in response to PEs and receptor agonists, (iii) LID mutations markedly inhibit these interactions and PE/receptor agonist-induced NHE1 activation, and (iv) PKC inhibitors ineffectively block NHE1 activation, except staurosporin, which itself inhibits NHE1 via LID. Thus, we propose a PKC-independent mechanism of NHE1 regulation via a PE-binding motif previously unrecognized.

Abstract
Background Signal transduction processes mediated by phosphatidyl inositol phosphates affect a broad range of cellular processes such as cell cycle progression, migration and cell survival. The protein kinase AKT is one of the major effectors in this signaling network. Chronic AKT activation contributes to oncogenic transformation and tumor development. Therefore, analogs of phosphatidyl inositol phosphates (PIAs) were designed as new small drugs to block AKT activity for cancer treatment. Here we characterize the biological effects of the PIAs SH-5 and SH-6 in colorectal cancer cell lines. Methods Serum-starved or serum-supplemented human colorectal cancer cell lines SW480, HT29 and HCT116 were exposed to SH-5 and SH-6. AKT activation was determined by western blotting. Cell viability was assessed using a colorimetric XTT-based assay, apoptosis and cell cycle changes were monitored by FACS analysis. The dynamics of cell morphology alterations was evaluated by confocal and time-lapse microscopy. Transcriptional changes due to inhibitor treatment were analyzed using Affymetrix HG-U133A microarrays and RT-PCR. Results While the PIAs clearly reduce AKT phosphorylation in serum starved cells, we did not observe a significant reduction under serum supplemented conditions, giving us the opportunity to analyze AKT independent effects of these compounds. Both inhibitors induce broadly the same morphological alterations, in particular changes in cell shape and formation of intracellular vesicles. Moreover, we observed the induction of binucleated cells specifically in the SW480 cell line. Gene expression analysis revealed transcriptional alterations, which are mostly cell line specific. In accordance to the phenotype we found a gene group associated with mitosis and spindle organization down regulated in SW480 cells, but not in the other cell lines. A bioinformatics analysis using the Connectivity Map linked the gene expression pattern of the inhibitor treated SW480 cells to PKC signaling. Using confocal laser scanning microscopy and time lapse recording we identified a specific defect in the last step of the cytokinesis as responsible for the binucleation. Conclusions The PIAs SH-5 and SH-6 impinge on additional cellular targets apart from AKT in colorectal cancer cells. The effects are mostly cell line specific and have an influence at the outcome of the treatment. In view of potential clinical trials it will be necessary to take these diverse effects into consideration to optimize patient treatment.

Abstract
In the present research, we have established a new lipidomics approach for the comprehensive and precise identification of molecular species in a crude lipid mixture using a LTQ Orbitrap mass spectrometer (MS) and reverse-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) combination with our newly developed lipid search engine "Lipid Search". LTQ Orbitrap provides high mass accuracy MS spectra by Fourier-transform (FT) mass spectrometer mode and can perform rapid MS(n) by ion trap (IT) mass spectrometer mode. In this study, the negative ion mode was selected to detect fragment ions from phospholipids, such as fatty acid anions, by MS2 or MS3. We selected the specific detection approach by neutral loss survey-dependent MS3, for the identification of molecular species of phosphatidylcholine, sphingomyelin and phosphatidylserine. Identification of molecular species was performed by using both the high mass accuracy of the mass spectrometric data obtained from FT mode and structural data obtained from fragments in IT mode. Some alkylacyl and alkenylacyl species have the same m/z value as molecular-related ions and fragment ions, thus, direct acid hydrolysis analysis was performed to identify alkylacyl and alkenylacyl species, and then the RPLC-LTQ Orbitrap method was applied. As a result, 290 species from mouse liver and 248 species from mouse brain were identified within six different classes of phospholipid, only those in manually detected and confirmed. Most of all manually detected mass peaks were also automatically detected by "Lipid Search". Adding to differences in molecular species in different classes of phospholipids, many characteristic differences in molecular species were detected in mouse liver and brain. More variable number of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acid-containing molecular species were detected in mouse brain than liver.

Abstract
Extracellular Ca(++), a ubiquitous cation in the soluble environment of cells both free living and within the human body, regulates most aspects of amoeboid cell motility, including shape, uropod formation, pseudopod formation, velocity, and turning in Dictyostelium discoideum. Hence it affects the efficiency of both basic motile behavior and chemotaxis. Extracellular Ca(++) is optimal at 10 mM. A gradient of the chemoattractant cAMP generated in the absence of added Ca(++) only affects turning, but in combination with extracellular Ca(++), enhances the effects of extracellular Ca(++). Potassium, at 40 mM, can partially substitute for Ca(++). Mg(++), Mn(++), Zn(++), and Na(+) cannot. Extracellular Ca(++), or K(+), also induce the cortical localization of myosin II in a polar fashion. The effects of Ca(++), K(+) or a cAMP gradient do not appear to be similarly mediated by an increase in the general pool of free cytosolic Ca(++). These results suggest a model, in which each agent functioning through different signaling systems, converge to affect the cortical localization of myosin II, which in turn effects the behavioral changes leading to efficient cell motility and chemotaxis.

Abstract
Recent studies by Moneer and Taylor [(2002) Biochem. J. 362, 13-21] have proposed a reciprocal regulation of two Ca2+-entry pathways by AVP ([Arg8]-vasopressin) in A7r5 vascular smooth-amuscle cells. Their model proposes that AVP inhibits CCE (capacitative Ca2+ entry) and predicts a rebound of CCE after the removal of AVP. In the present study, we used whole-cell perforated patch-clamp techniques to measure ISOC (store-operated current) corresponding to CCE in A7r5 cells. When 100 nM AVP is present, it activates ISOC with no apparent rebound on removal of AVP. ISOC activated by thapsigargin or cyclopiazonic acid was not inhibited by 100 nM AVP. We also used fura 2 fluorescence techniques to re-examine the model of Moneer and Taylor, specifically focusing on the proposed inhibition of CCE by AVP. We find that 100 nM AVP activates capacitative Mn2+ entry and does not inhibit thapsigargin- or cyclopiazonic acid-activated Mn2+ entry. Moreover, Ca2+ entry after depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores is enhanced by AVP and we detect no rebound of Ca2+ or Mn2+ entry after AVP removal. On the basis of these findings, we conclude that AVP does not inhibit CCE in A7r5 cells.

Abstract
Pulmonary vascular endothelial cells express a variety of ion channels that mediate Ca(2+) influx in response to diverse environmental stimuli. However, it is not clear whether Ca(2+) influx from discrete ion channels is functionally coupled to specific outcomes. Thus we conducted a systematic study in mouse lung to address whether the alpha(1G) T-type Ca(2+) channel and the transient receptor potential channel TRPV4 have discrete functional roles in pulmonary capillary endothelium. We used real-time fluorescence imaging for endothelial cytosolic Ca(2+), immunohistochemistry to probe for surface expression of P-selectin, and the filtration coefficient to specifically measure lung endothelial permeability. We demonstrate that membrane depolarization via exposure of pulmonary vascular endothelium to a high-K(+) perfusate induces Ca(2+) entry into alveolar septal endothelial cells and exclusively leads to the surface expression of P-selectin. In contrast, Ca(2+) entry in septal endothelium evoked by the selective TRPV4 activator 4alpha-phorbol-12,13-didecanoate (4alpha-PDD) specifically increases lung endothelial permeability without effect on P-selectin expression. Pharmacological blockade or knockout of alpha(1G) abolishes depolarization-induced Ca(2+) entry and surface expression of P-selectin but does not prevent 4alpha-PDD-activated Ca(2+) entry and the resultant increase in permeability. Conversely, blockade or knockout of TRPV4 specifically abolishes 4alpha-PDD-activated Ca(2+) entry and the increase in permeability, while not impacting depolarization-induced Ca(2+) entry and surface expression of P-selectin. We conclude that in alveolar septal capillaries Ca(2+) entry through alpha(1G) and TRPV4 channels differentially and specifically regulates the transition of endothelial procoagulant phenotype and barrier integrity, respectively.

Abstract
Recent evidences indicate the existence of an atypical D(1) dopamine receptor other than traditional D(1) dopamine receptor in the brain that mediates PI hydrolysis via activation of phospholipase C(beta) (PLC(beta)). To further understand the basic physiological function of this receptor in brain, the effects of a selective phosphoinositide (PI)-linked D(1) dopamine receptor agonist SKF83959 on cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) in cultured rat prefrontal cortical astrocytes were investigated by calcium imaging. The results indicated that SKF83959 caused a transient dose-dependent increase in [Ca(2+)](i). Application of D(1) receptor, but not D(2), alpha(1) adrenergic, 5-HT receptor, or cholinergic antagonist prevented SKF83959-induced [Ca(2+)](i) rise, indicating that activation of the D(1) dopamine receptor was essential for this response. Increase in [Ca(2+)](i) was a two-step process characterized by an initial increase in [Ca(2+)](i) mediated by release from intracellular stores, supplemented by influx through voltage-gated calcium channels, receptor-operated calcium channels, and capacitative Ca(2+) entry. Furthermore, SKF83959-stimulated increase in [Ca(2+)](i) was abolished following treatment with a PLC inhibitor. Overall, these results suggested that activation of D(1) receptor by SKF83959 mediates a dose-dependent mobilization of [Ca(2+)](i) via the PLC signaling pathway in cultured rat prefrontal cortical astrocytes.

Abstract
Arachidonic acid (AA), a polyunsaturated fatty acid with four double bonds, has multiple actions on living cells. Many of these effects are mediated by an action of AA or its metabolites on ion channels. During the last 10 years, new types of ion channels, transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) channels and non-SOCE channels have been studied. This review summarizes our current knowledge about the effects of AA on TRP and non-SOCE channels as well as classical ion channels. It aims to distinguish between effects of AA itself and effects of AA metabolites. Lipid mediators are of clinical interest because some of them (for example, leukotrienes) play a role in various diseases, others (such as prostaglandins) are targets for pharmacological therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Elucidation of the role of PtdIns(4,5)P2 in epithelial function has been hampered by the inability to selectively manipulate the cellular content of this phosphoinositide. Here we report that SigD, a phosphatase derived from Salmonella, can effectively hydrolyze PtdIns(4,5)P2, generating PtdIns(5)P. When expressed by microinjecting cDNA into epithelial cells forming confluent monolayers, wild-type SigD induced striking morphological and functional changes that were not mimicked by a phosphatase-deficient SigD mutant (C462S). Depletion of PtdIns(4,5)P2 in intact SigD-injected cells was verified by detachment from the membrane of the pleckstrin homology domain of phospholipase Cδ, used as a probe for the phosphoinositide by conjugation to green fluorescent protein. Single-cell measurements of cytosolic pH indicated that the Na+/H+ exchange activity of epithelia was markedly inhibited by depletion of PtdIns(4,5)P2. Similarly, anion permeability, measured using two different halide-sensitive probes, was depressed in cells expressing SigD. Depletion of PtdIns(4,5)P2 was associated with marked alterations in the actin cytoskeleton and its association with the plasma membrane. The junctional complexes surrounding the injected cells gradually opened and the PtdIns(4,5)P2-depleted cells eventually detached from the monolayer, which underwent rapid restitution. Similar observations were made in intestinal and renal epithelial cultures. In addition to its effects on phosphoinositides, SigD has been shown to convert inositol 1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate (IP5) into inositol 1,4,5,6-tetrakisphosphate (IP4), and the latter has been postulated to mediate the diarrhea caused by Salmonella. However, the effects of SigD on epithelial cells were not mimicked by microinjection of IP4. In contrast, the cytoskeletal and ion transport effects were replicated by hydrolyzing PtdIns(4,5)P2 with a membrane-targeted 5-phosphatase or by occluding the inositide using high-avidity tandem PH domain constructs. We therefore suggest that opening of the tight junctions and inhibition of Na+/H+ exchange caused by PtdIns(4,5)P2 hydrolysis combine to account, at least in part, for the fluid loss observed during Salmonella-induced diarrhea.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) release calcium ions, Ca2+, from intracellular stores, but their roles in mediating Ca2+ entry are unclear. IP3 stimulated opening of very few (1.9 +/- 0.2 per cell) Ca2+-permeable channels in whole-cell patch-clamp recording of DT40 chicken or mouse B cells. Activation of the B cell receptor (BCR) in perforated-patch recordings evoked the same response. IP3 failed to stimulate intracellular or plasma membrane (PM) channels in cells lacking IP3R. Expression of IP3R restored both responses. Mutations within the pore affected the conductances of IP3-activated PM and intracellular channels similarly. An impermeant pore mutant abolished BCR-evoked Ca2+ signals, and PM IP3Rs were undetectable. After introduction of an alpha-bungarotoxin binding site near the pore, PM IP3Rs were modulated by extracellular alpha-bungarotoxin. IP(3)Rs are unusual among endoplasmic reticulum proteins in being also functionally expressed at the PM, where very few IP3Rs contribute substantially to the Ca2+ entry evoked by the BCR.

Abstract
During mammalian embryogenesis, precise coordination of progenitor cell proliferation and differentiation is essential for proper organ size and function. The involvement of TLX (NR2E1), an orphan nuclear receptor, has been implicated in ocular development, as Tlx-/- mice exhibit visual impairment. Using genetic and biochemical approaches, we show that TLX modulates retinal progenitor cell proliferation and cell cycle re-entry by directly regulating the expression of Pten and its target cyclin D1. Additionally, TLX finely tunes the progenitor differentiation program by modulating the phospholipase C and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways and the expression of an array of cell type-specific transcriptional regulators. Consequently, Tlx-/- mice have a dramatic reduction in retina thickness and enhanced generation of S-cones, and develop severe early onset retinal dystrophy. Furthermore, TLX interacts with atrophin1 (Atn1), a corepressor that is involved in human neurodegenerative dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA) and that is essential for development of multiple tissues. Together, these results reveal a molecular strategy by which an orphan nuclear receptor can precisely orchestrate tissue-specific proliferation and differentiation programs to prevent retinal malformation and degeneration.

Abstract
Arachidonic acid (AA) regulates many aspects of vascular smooth muscle behaviour, but the mechanisms linking receptors to AA release are unclear. In A7r5 vascular smooth muscle cells pre-labelled with (3)H-AA, vasopressin caused a concentration-dependent stimulation of 3H-AA release that required phospholipase C and an increase in cytosolic [Ca2+]. Ca2+ release from intracellular stores and Ca2+ entry via L-type channels or the capacitative Ca2+ entry pathway were each effective to varying degrees. Selective inhibitors of PLA2 inhibited the 3H-AA release evoked by vasopressin, though not the underlying Ca2+ signals, and established that cPLA2 mediates the release of AA. We conclude that in A7r5 cells vasopressin stimulates AA release via a Ca2+-dependent activation of cPLA2.

Abstract
When aminophospholipids with only saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids esterified to the glycerol backbone were labeled with isotopically enriched N-methylpiperazine acetic acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester reagents, it was found that they could be readily detected as N-methylpiperazine-amide-tagged aminophospholipids using a precursor scan of the stable isotope reporter ion (m/z 114-117) formed by tandem mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry. However, it was found in the current study that these precursor ion scans are not useful in determining the changes of aminophospholipids with polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) esterified to the glycerol backbone due to the presence of interfering ions in the reporter ion region. Therefore, a method was developed using tandem mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (MS(3)) to obtain reporter ion ratios that were not distorted by interfering ions present in the collision-induced dissociation spectra of nontagged aminophospholipids with PUFAs. This new MS(3) method for N-methylpiperazine- amide-tagged aminophospholipids was used to examine the fate of diacyl, ether, or plasmalogen glycerophosphoethanolamine (GPEtn) species after exposure of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes to A23187 and granulocyte macrophage-colony-stimulating factor/formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine stimuli, which can induce eicosanoid biosynthesis, to follow those GPEtn molecular species which were the source of arachidonic acid released. Upon stimulation of the human polymorphonuclear leukocyte, it was found that the abundant arachidonoyl GPEtn plasmalogen molecular species were uniquely reduced in relative content compared to ether or diacyl species and this subclass of GPEtn may be a source of the arachidonic acid converted to leukotrienes by the 5-lipoxygenase pathway activated in this cell.

Abstract
Several receptors, including those for AVP (Arg8-vasopressin) and 5-HT (5-hydroxytryptamine), share an ability to stimulate PLC (phospholipase C) and so production of IP3 (inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate) and DAG (diacylglycerol) in A7r5 vascular smooth muscle cells. Our previous analysis of the effects of AVP on Ca2+ entry [Moneer, Dyer and Taylor (2003) Biochem. J. 370, 439-448] showed that arachidonic acid released from DAG stimulated NO synthase. NO then stimulated an NCCE (non-capacitative Ca2+ entry) pathway, and, via cGMP and protein kinase G, it inhibited CCE (capacitative Ca2+ entry). This reciprocal regulation ensured that, in the presence of AVP, all Ca2+ entry occurred via NCCE to be followed by a transient activation of CCE only when AVP was removed [Moneer and Taylor (2002) Biochem. J. 362, 13-21]. We confirm that, in the presence of AVP, all Ca2+ entry occurs via NCCE, but 5-HT, despite activating PLC and evoking release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores, stimulates Ca2+ entry only via CCE. We conclude that two PLC-coupled receptors differentially regulate CCE and NCCE. We also address evidence that, in some A7r5 cells lines, AVP fails either to stimulate NCCE or inhibit CCE [Brueggemann, Markun, Barakat, Chen and Byron (2005) Biochem. J. 388, 237-244]. Quantitative PCR analysis suggests that these cells predominantly express TRPC1 (transient receptor potential canonical 1), whereas cells in which AVP reciprocally regulates CCE and NCCE express a greater variety of TRPC subtypes (TRPC1=6>2>3).

Abstract
We studied the contribution of store-operated or capacitative Ca2+-entry (SOCE or CCE, respectively) through store-operated Ca2+ channels (SOCCs) and the contribution of Ca2+-entry through receptor-operated, non-selective cation channels (ROCCs or NSCCs, respectively), on the M3-receptor-mediated (270 nM Ach) contractile response of porcine coronary smooth muscle strips by means of the respective inhibitors. In the presence of L-VOCC blockade (1 microM verapamil), LOE 908 (inhibition of NSCCs) decreased the contractile response to 75+/-5% (p<0.01, n=6), 2-APB (inhibition of SOCCs) and SK and F 96365 (inhibition of SOCCs and of NSCCs) decreased the response to 45+/-4% (p<0.001, n=10) and to 23+/-2% (p<0.001, n=5), respectively (control: Ach response in the presence of verapamil alone). In the absence of L-VOCC blockade, LOE 908 reduced the Ach-response to 49+/-7% (p<0.001, n=8) and SK and F 96365 to 3+/-2% (p<0.001, n=4) of control, whereas 2-APB transiently increased the response (peak effect: 130+/-11%; p<0.05, n=8). We conclude: (1) the main source of activator Ca2+ during the M3-receptor-mediated contractile response is the Ca2+ influx through L-VOCCs; (2) however, in the presence of L-VOCC blockade, the contractile response is mainly due to Ca2+-entry through SOCCs; (3) NSCCs may be considerably involved in M3-receptor-mediated contraction as they may serve to depolarize the membrane potential and, thus, to open L-VOCCs; (4) in primary tissue of vascular smooth muscle, both, SOCE and Ca2+-entry through NSCCs are activated during M3-receptor stimulation.

Abstract
Bi-directional signaling between ryanodine receptor type 1 (RyR1) and dihydropyridine receptor (DHPR) in skeletal muscle serves as a prominent example of conformational coupling. Evidence for a physiological mechanism that upon depolarization of myotubes tightly couples three calcium channels, DHPR, RyR1, and a Ca(2+) entry channel with SOCC-like properties, has recently been presented. This form of conformational coupling, termed excitation-coupled calcium entry (ECCE) is triggered by the alpha(1s)-DHPR voltage sensor and is highly dependent on RyR1 conformation. In this report, we substitute RyR1 cysteines 4958 or 4961 within the TXCFICG motif, common to all ER/SR Ca(2+) channels, with serine. When expressed in skeletal myotubes, C4958S- and C4961S-RyR1 properly target and restore L-type current via the DHPR. However, these mutants do not respond to RyR activators and do not support skeletal type EC coupling. Nonetheless, depolarization of cells expressing C4958S- or C4961S-RyR1 triggers calcium entry via ECCE that resembles that for wild-type RyR1, except for substantially slowed inactivation and deactivation kinetics. ECCE in these cells is completely independent of store depletion, displays a cation selectivity of Ca(2+)>Sr(2+) approximately Ba(2+), and is fully inhibited by SKF-96365 or 2-APB. Mutation of other non-CXXC motif cysteines within the RyR1 transmembrane assembly (C3635S, C4876S, and C4882S) did not replicate the phenotype observed with C4958S- and C4961S-RyR1. This study demonstrates the essential role of Cys(4958) and Cys(4961) within an invariant CXXC motif for stabilizing conformations of RyR1 that influence both its function as a release channel and its interaction with ECCE channels.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway is important for platelet activation. Recent studies showed that PI3K and oscillative calcium could cross talk to each other and positively regulate integrin alpha (IIb)beta3-mediated outside-in signaling. However, the mechanism of this feedback regulation remains to be further characterized. Here we found that treatments of both PI3K inhibitor wortmannin and P2Y1 inhibitor A3P5P could inhibit granular secretion in platelets. Additionally, when RGD-substrate adherent platelets were treated with the ADP scavenger apyrase to deplete the granular-released ADP, their attachments in engaging with substrates became looser and the frequency of calcium oscillation decreased. Since it is known that ADP stimulates the PI3K and calcium signal primarily through P2Y12 and P2Y1 receptors respectively, our data indicated that integrin alpha(IIb)beta3 downstream PI3K and calcium activation might be not completely coupled to integrin associated signaling complex, but in part through feedback stimulation by granular released ADP. Our data indicates the important roles of PI3K and granular released ADP in coordinating the feedback regulations in integrin alpha(IIb)beta3-mediated platelet activation.

Abstract
Defecation in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a readily observable ultradian behavioral rhythm that occurs once every 45-50 s and is mediated in part by posterior body wall muscle contraction (pBoc). pBoc is not regulated by neural input but instead is likely controlled by rhythmic Ca(2+) oscillations in the intestinal epithelium. We developed an isolated nematode intestine preparation that allows combined physiological, genetic, and molecular characterization of oscillatory Ca(2+) signaling. Isolated intestines loaded with fluo-4 AM exhibit spontaneous rhythmic Ca(2+) oscillations with a period of approximately 50 s. Oscillations were only detected in the apical cell pole of the intestinal epithelium and occur as a posterior-to-anterior moving intercellular Ca(2+) wave. Loss-of-function mutations in the inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) receptor ITR-1 reduce pBoc and Ca(2+) oscillation frequency and intercellular Ca(2+) wave velocity. In contrast, gain-of-function mutations in the IP(3) binding and regulatory domains of ITR-1 have no effect on pBoc or Ca(2+) oscillation frequency but dramatically increase the speed of the intercellular Ca(2+) wave. Systemic RNA interference (RNAi) screening of the six C. elegans phospholipase C (PLC)-encoding genes demonstrated that pBoc and Ca(2+) oscillations require the combined function of PLC-gamma and PLC-beta homologues. Disruption of PLC-gamma and PLC-beta activity by mutation or RNAi induced arrhythmia in pBoc and intestinal Ca(2+) oscillations. The function of the two enzymes is additive. Epistasis analysis suggests that PLC-gamma functions primarily to generate IP(3) that controls ITR-1 activity. In contrast, IP(3) generated by PLC-beta appears to play little or no direct role in ITR-1 regulation. PLC-beta may function instead to control PIP(2) levels and/or G protein signaling events. Our findings provide new insights into intestinal cell Ca(2+) signaling mechanisms and establish C. elegans as a powerful model system for defining the gene networks and molecular mechanisms that underlie the generation and regulation of Ca(2+) oscillations and intercellular Ca(2+) waves in nonexcitable cells.

Abstract
The prefrontal cortex is involved in the integration and interpretation of information for directing thoughts and planning action. Working memory is defined as the active maintenance of information in mind and is thought to lie at the core of many prefrontal functions. Although dopamine and other neurotransmitters have been implicated, the intracellular events activated by their receptors that influence working memory are poorly understood. We demonstrate that working memory involves transient changes in prefrontal G(q/11)-signaling and in calcium-dependent intracellular protein phosphatase and kinase activity. Interestingly, inhibition of the calcium activated phosphatase calcineurin impaired, while calcium/calmodulin dependent kinase II (CaMKII) and calcium-dependent protein kinase C (PKC) enhanced, working memory. Our findings suggest that the active maintenance of information required for working memory involves transient changes in the balance of these enzymes' activities.

Abstract
Vasopressin and other phospholipase-C-coupled hormones induce oscillations (waves) of [Ca2+]cyt (cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration) in liver cells. Maintenance of these oscillations requires replenishment of Ca2+ in intracellular stores through Ca2+ inflow across the plasma membrane. While this may be achieved by SOCs (store-operated Ca2+ channels), some studies in other cell types indicate that it is dependent on AA (arachidonic acid)-activated Ca2+ channels. We studied the effects of AA on membrane conductance of rat liver cells using whole-cell patch clamping. We found no evidence that concentrations of AA in the physiological range could activate Ca2+-permeable channels in either H4IIE liver cells or rat hepatocytes. However, AA (1-10 microM) did inhibit (IC50=2.4+/-0.1 microM) Ca2+ inflow through SOCs (ISOC) initiated by intracellular application of Ins(1,4,5)P3 in H4IIE cells. Pre-incubation with AA did not inhibit ISOC development, but decreased maximal amplitude of the current. Iso-tetrandrine, widely used to inhibit receptor-activation of phospholipase A2, and therefore AA release, inhibited ISOC directly in H4IIE cells. It is concluded that (i) in rat liver cells, AA does not activate an AA-regulated Ca2+-permeable channel, but does inhibit SOCs, and (ii) iso-tetrandrine and tetrandrine are effective blockers of CRAC (Ca2+-release-activated Ca2+) channel-like SOCs. These results indicate that AA-activated Ca2+-permeable channels do not contribute to hormone-induced increases or oscillations in [Ca2+]cyt in liver cells. However, AA may be a physiological modulator of Ca2+ inflow in these cells.

Abstract
We have investigated effects of neuronal differentiation on hormone-induced Ca2+ entry. Fura-2 fluorescence measurements of undifferentiated SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells, stimulated with methacholine, revealed the presence of voltage-operated Ca2+-permeable, Mn2+-impermeable entry pathways, and at least two voltage-independent Ca2+- and Mn2+-permeable entry pathways, all of which apparently contribute to both peak and plateau phases of the Ca2+ signal. Similar experiments using 9-cis retinoic acid-differentiated cells, however, revealed voltage-operated Ca2+-permeable, Mn2+-impermeable channels, and, more significantly, the absence or down-regulation of the most predominant of the voltage-independent entry pathways. This down-regulated pathway is probably due to CCE (capacitative Ca2+ entry), since thapsigargin also stimulated Ca2+ and Mn2+ entry in undifferentiated but not differentiated cells. The Ca2+ entry components remaining in methacholine-stimulated differentiated cells contributed to only the plateau phase of the Ca2+ signal. We conclude that differentiation of SH-SY5Y cells results in a mechanistic and functional change in hormone-stimulated Ca2+ entry. In undifferentiated cells, voltage-operated Ca2+ channels, CCE and NCCE (non-CCE) pathways are present. Of the voltage-independent pathways, the predominant one appears to be CCE. These pathways contribute to both peak and plateau phases of the Ca2+ signal. In differentiated cells, CCE is either absent or down-regulated, whereas voltage-operated entry and NCCE remain active and contribute to only the plateau phase of the Ca2+ signal.

Abstract
The 29/30 amino acid neuropeptide galanin is present in a small population of DRG neurons under normal condition but is strongly upregulated after nerve injury. There is evidence that this upregulated galanin has trophic actions, for example promoting neurite outgrowth as well as influencing pain processing. In fact, both pro- and antinociceptive effects have been reported, probably relating to activation of different receptors. It has been proposed that presynaptic GalR2 receptors are pro-nociceptive by enhancing release of excitatory transmitters in the dorsal horn, and anti-nociceptive via an action on GalR1-positive interneurons. These neurons have recently been shown to be glutamatergic. Several other peptides and molecules are also regulated by nerve injury. Here we focus on neuropeptide tyrosine (NPY), which is upregulated in parallel with galanin. We review data reporting on coexistence between galanin and NPY and between these two peptides and the two NPY receptors Y1 and Y2. The data show considerable overlap, and it will be an important task to analyse how cross-talk between these neuropeptides can influence pain processing. It is proposed that such cross-talk can occur by release of peptides from DRGs neuron somata within dorsal root ganglia. To what extent these mechanisms shown to exist in rodents also occur in human is important, if one wants to discuss novel strategies for pain treatment on the basis of these findings. So far information is limited, but it has been demonstrated that galanin is expressed in DRGs and possibly also regulated.

Abstract
Sprouty, an essential antagonist of fibroblast growth factor receptor signaling, is induced following fibroblast growth factor receptor activation. The signaling pathways that induce sprouty have been incompletely characterized. However, studies show that MAP kinase signaling stimulates sprouty induction in various cell lines. Here we report that activation of sprouty expression by basic fibroblast growth factor required phospholipase Cgamma (PLCgamma) and calcium-dependent signaling. We showed that the induction of sprouty was inhibited by chelation of intracellular or extracellular calcium and that a fibroblast growth factor receptor deficient for PLCgamma signaling only weakly induced sprouty expression. Additionally, inhibition of PLCgamma with a pharmacological antagonist repressed the induction of sprouty by basic fibroblast growth factor. These findings indicate that calcium-dependent signaling regulates sprouty expression and that PLCgamma is vital for this process. This pathway of sprouty induction may be critical at sites such as limb bud mesenchyme where MAP kinases are inactive.

Abstract
TRPC3 is a nonselective cation channel member of the "canonical" transient receptor potential (TRPC) family whose members are activated by phospholipase C-coupled receptors. TRPC3 can be activated by the diacylglycerol analog 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol (OAG) in a protein kinase C-independent manner. On the other hand, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) inhibits OAG-mediated TRPC3 channel activation, suggesting that phosphorylation of TRPC3 by protein kinase C is a mechanism of receptor-mediated negative feedback. Here, we show PMA-induced phosphorylation of TRPC3 channels in vivo. We demonstrate by site-directed mutagenesis that a single site containing Ser(712) and conserved among all members of the TRPC family is essential for protein kinase C-mediated negative regulation of TRPC3. In human embryonic kidney 293 cells expressing a TRPC3 mutant in which Ser(712) was replaced by alanine (S712A), PMA failed to block channel activation, whereas wild-type TRPC3 activity was completely inhibited. Phosphorylation of the S712A TRPC3 mutant was not stimulated in response to PMA treatment. Furthermore, S712A TRPC3 mutant-mediated Ca(2+) entry after methacholine activation was significantly greater than that of wild-type TRPC3. These findings demonstrate a dual role for phospholipase C-generated diacylglycerol, which serves as a signal for TRPC3 activation as well as a signal for negative feedback via protein kinase C-mediated phosphorylation.

Abstract
Store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) occurs in diverse cell types in response to depletion of Ca(2+) within the endoplasmic/sarcoplasmic reticulum and functions both to refill these stores and to shape cytoplasmic Ca(2+) transients. Here we report that in addition to conventional SOCE, skeletal myotubes display a physiological mechanism that we term excitation-coupled Ca(2+) entry (ECCE). ECCE is rapidly initiated by membrane depolarization. Like excitation-contraction coupling, ECCE is absent in both dyspedic myotubes that lack the skeletal muscle-type ryanodine receptor 1 and dysgenic myotubes that lack the dihydropyridine receptor (DHPR), and is independent of the DHPR l-type Ca(2+) current. Unlike classic SOCE, ECCE does not depend on sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) release. Indeed, ECCE produces a large Ca(2+) entry in response to physiological stimuli that do not produce substantial store depletion and depends on interactions among three different Ca(2+) channels: the DHPR, ryanodine receptor 1, and a Ca(2+) entry channel with properties corresponding to those of store-operated Ca(2+) channels. ECCE may provide a fundamental means to rapidly maintain Ca(2+) stores and control important aspects of Ca(2+) signaling in both muscle and nonmuscle cells.

Abstract
Regulation of intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization has been associated with the functions of polycystin-1 (PC1) and polycystin-2 (PC2), the protein products of the PKD1 and PKD2 genes. We have now demonstrated that PC1 can activate the calcineurin/NFAT (nuclear factor of activated T-cells) signaling pathway through Galpha(q) -mediated activation of phospholipase C (PLC). Transient transfection of HEK293T cells with an NFAT promoter-luciferase reporter demonstrated that membrane-targeted PC1 constructs containing the membrane proximal region of the C-terminal tail, which includes the heterotrimeric G protein binding and activation domain, can stimulate NFAT luciferase activity. Inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase-3beta by LiCl treatment further increased PC1-mediated NFAT activity. PC1-mediated activation of NFAT was completely inhibited by the calcineurin inhibitor, cyclosporin A. Cotransfection of a construct expressing the Galpha(q) subunit augmented PC1-mediated NFAT activity, whereas the inhibitors of PLC (U73122) and the inositol trisphosphate and ryanodine receptors (xestospongin and 2-aminophenylborate) and a nonspecific Ca(2+) channel blocker (gadolinium) diminished PC1-mediated NFAT activity. PC2 was not able to activate NFAT. An NFAT-green fluorescent protein nuclear localization assay demonstrated that PC1 constructs containing the C-tail only or the entire 11-transmembrane spanning region plus C-tail induced NFAT-green fluorescent protein nuclear translocation. NFAT expression was demonstrated in the M-1 mouse cortical collecting duct cell line and in embryonic and adult mouse kidneys by reverse transcriptase-PCR and immunolocalization. These data suggest a model in which PC1 signaling leads to a sustained elevation of intracellular Ca(2+) mediated by PC1 activation of Galpha(q) followed by PLC activation, release of Ca(2+) from intracellular stores, and activation of store-operated Ca(2+) entry, thus activating calcineurin and NFAT.

Abstract
Collision-induced dissociation (CID) of the [M + H]+ of glycerophospholipids typically results in abundant fragment ions that are related to the polar head group or loss of the polar head group. An exception to this general rule occurs for glycerophosphoethanolamines (GPEtn), which are a class of phospholipids that can have an acyl, 1-O-alkyl, or 1-O-alk-1'-enyl group as a substituent at the sn-1 position. The CID of the [M + H]+ of diacyl-GPEtn typically results in the expected loss of the phosphoethanolamine head group (141 Da). Therefore, constant neutral loss of 141 Da has been used as a diagnostic tool for the determination of GPEtn species in complex lipid mixtures. One disadvantage in using constant neutral loss of 141 Da in order to determine GPEtn content in lipid mixtures is that plasmalogen GPEtn does not undergo neutral loss of phosphoethanolamine to the same extent as diacyl-GPEtn. The current studies have used positive ion mode electrospray tandem mass spectrometry to study the collision-induced dissociation of various GPEtn plasmalogens present in the phospholipid membranes of human neutrophils. The CID of the [M + H]+ of plasmalogen GPEtn resulted in two prominent fragment ions; one that was characteristic of the sn-1 position and one that was characteristic of the sn-2 position. These two ions were used to detect specific molecular species of GPEtn containing esterified arachidonate (precursors of m/z 361) present in the human neutrophil.
