Abstract
T cells reach a state of replicative senescence characterized by a decreased ability to proliferate and respond to foreign antigens. Calcium release associated with TCR engagement is widely used as a surrogate measure of T cell response. Using an ex vivo culture model that partially replicates features of organismal aging, we observe that while the amplitude of Ca2+ signaling does not change with time in culture, older T cells exhibit faster Ca2+ rise and a faster decay. Gene expression analysis of Ca2+ channels and pumps expressed in T cells by RT-qPCR identified overexpression of the plasma membrane CRAC channel subunit ORAI1 and PMCA in older T cells. To test whether overexpression of the plasma membrane Ca2+ channel is sufficient to explain the kinetic information, we adapted a previously published computational model by Maurya and Subramaniam to include additional details on the store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) process to recapitulate Ca2+ dynamics after T cell receptor stimulation. Simulations demonstrated that upregulation of ORAI1 and PMCA channels is not sufficient to explain the observed alterations in Ca2+ signaling. Instead, modeling analysis identified kinetic parameters associated with the IP3R and STIM1 channels as potential causes for alterations in Ca2+ dynamics associated with the long term ex vivo culturing protocol. Due to these proteins having known cysteine residues susceptible to oxidation, we subsequently investigated and observed transcriptional remodeling of metabolic enzymes, a shift to more oxidized redox couples, and post-translational thiol oxidation of STIM1. The model-directed findings from this study highlight changes in the cellular redox environment that may ultimately lead to altered T cell calcium dynamics during immunosenescence or organismal aging.

Abstract
Store-operated Ca²⁺ entry (SOCE) from the extracellular space plays a critical role in agonist-mediated Ca²⁺ signaling in non-excitable cells. Here we show that SOCE is enhanced in COS-7 cells treated with staurosporine (ST), a protein kinase inhibitor. In COS-7 cells, stimulation with ATP induced Ca²⁺ release from intracellular Ca²⁺ stores and Ca²⁺ entry from the extracellular space. Ca²⁺ release was not affected by treatment with ST, but Ca²⁺ entry continued in the ST-treated cells even after the removal of ATP. ST did not inhibit Ca²⁺ sequestration into Ca²⁺ stores. The Ca²⁺ entry induced by cyclopiazonic acid (CPA), a reversible ER Ca²⁺ pump inhibitor, was maintained in ST-treated cells even after the removal of CPA, but was not maintained in the control cells. The sustained Ca²⁺ entry in ST-treated cells was completely attenuated by the SOCE inhibitors, La³⁺ and 2-APB. The large increase in Ca²⁺ entry produced in the cells co-expressing Venus-Orai1 and STIM1-mKO1 was stabilized with ST treatment, and confocal imaging of these cells suggested that the complex between Orai1 and STIM1 did not completely dissociate following the refilling of Ca²⁺ stores. These results show that SOCE remains activated even after the refilling of Ca²⁺ stores in ST-treated cells and that the effect of ST on SOCE may result from a stabilization of the Orai1-STIM1 interaction.

The non-genomic rapid acidification in peripheral T cells by progesterone depends on intracellular calcium increase and not on Na+/H+-exchange inhibition. Steroids 2012; 77:1017-24.

Abstract
Progesterone is an endogenous immunomodulator that is able to suppress T cell activation during pregnancy. An increased intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)), acidification, and an inhibition of Na(+)/H(+)-exchange 1 (NHE1) are associated with this progesterone rapid non-genomic response that involves plasma membrane sites. Such acidification, when induced by phytohemagglutinin, is calcium dependent in PKC down-regulated T cells. We investigated the relationship between this rapid response involving the [Ca(2+)](i) increase and various membrane progesterone receptors (mPRs). In addition, we explored whether the induction of acidification in T cells by progesterone is a direct result of the [Ca(2+)](i) increase. The results show that the intracellular calcium elevation caused by progesterone is inhibited by SKF96365, U73122, and 2-APB, but not by pertussis toxin or U73343. The elevation is enhanced by the protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor staurosporine and the protein kinase C inhibitors Ro318220 and Go6983. These findings suggest that progesterone does not stimulate the [Ca(2+)](i) increase via the Gi coupled mPR(α). Furthermore, progesterone-induced acidification was found to be dependent on Ca(2+) entry and blocked by the inorganic channel blocker, Ni(2+). However, BAPTA, an intracellular calcium chelator, was found to prevent progesterone-induced acidification but not the inhibition of NHE1. This implies that acidification by progesterone is a direct result of the [Ca(2+)](i) increase and does not directly involve NHE1. Taken together, further investigations are needed to explore whether one or more mPRs or PGRMC1 are involved in bringing about the T cell rapid response that results in the [Ca(2+)](i) increase and inhibition of NHE1.

Abstract
4-aminopyridine (4AP) is a general blocker of voltage-dependent K+ channels. This pyridine derivative has also been shown to inhibit T cell proliferation, to modulate immune responses and to alleviate some of the symptoms associated with neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis and Alzheimer's disease. 4AP triggers a Ca2+ response in lymphocytes, astrocytes, neurons and muscle cells but little is known about the regulation of the 4AP response in these cells. We report that 4AP induced a non-capacitative transplasma membrane influx of Ca2+ in Jurkat T lymphocytes. The influx of Ca2+ was not affected by activation or inhibition of protein kinase A (PKA). In contrast, activation of protein kinase C (PKC) by phorbol myristyl acetate (PMA), mezerein or 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol (OAG) inhibited the influx of Ca2+ triggered by 4AP. The inhibitory effect of PKC could be prevented by prior exposure of the cells to the PKC inhibitor GF 109203X. Under these conditions, mezerein and OAG no longer inhibited the 4AP-dependent Ca2+ response. Inhibition of serine and threonine protein phosphatases PP1 and PP2A by treating the cells with calyculin A (CalA) reduced the Ca2+ response to 4AP. Okadaic acid (OA) had no effect, suggesting an involvement of PP1. A combination of CalA and OAG (or PMA) abolished the influx of Ca2+ induced by 4AP, adding further evidence to the importance of protein phosphorylation in the modulation of the 4AP response. Our data suggest that the transplasma membrane influx of Ca2+ triggered by 4AP in Jurkat T cells can be modulated by the opposite actions of PKC and protein serine and threonine phosphatase(s).

Abstract
Collagen type IV (CnIV) and fibronectin (Fn) were used as ligands to study the distribution of alpha(2)beta(1) and alpha(4)beta(1) integrins in low-density, detergent-resistant microdomains (DRM) of Jurkat lymphocytes. CnIV-coated microspheres induced (optical trapping) the redistribution of GM(1)-associated fluorescence from the cell periphery to the area of contact. This was not observed in cells treated with beta-methyl cyclodextrin (MCD). Fn- or bovine serum albumin-coated microspheres did not modify the peripheral distribution of fluorescence. These observations were confirmed by confocal microscopy. Western blot analysis of cells exposed to surfaces coated with CnIV revealed that the alpha(2)-subunit was initially present at low levels in DRM, became strongly associated after 40 min, and returned to basal levels after 75 min. Fn induced a slight recruitment of the beta(1)-integrin alpha(4)-subunit in DRM after 5 and 10 min, followed by a return to basal levels. Neither CnIV nor Fn triggered significant changes in the distribution of the beta(1)-subunit in DRM. Fn- and CnIV-coated microspheres or surfaces coated with these ligands triggered a MCD-sensitive mobilization of Ca(2)(+). MCD did not alter the state of the Ca(2)(+) reserves. The differential distributions of the alpha(2)beta(1) and alpha(4)beta(1) integrins in DRM may provide one additional step in the regulation of outside-in signaling involving these integrins.

Abstract
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a glycerophospholipid released from platelets that has multiple biologic effects. The present study evaluated the potential of LPA to modulate tissue repair and remodeling by modifying human lung fibro-blast-mediated contraction of three-dimensional collagen gels. The contraction of native collagen gels caused by human fetal lung fibroblasts was augmented by LPA in a concentration-dependent manner. The estimated median effective concentration was 3 x 10(-7) mol/L, which was well below the concentrations likely released by platelets in tissues. LPA-augmented contraction was not blocked by pertussis toxin or cholera toxin but was inhibited by inhibition of phospholipase C. Neither calcium mobilization nor protein kinase C appeared to play a role. In contrast, the effect of LPA appeared to depend on a kinase inhibited by staurosporine but not by genistein or GF109203X, suggesting a process that depends on phospholipase C and may involve a novel protein kinase. By modulating fibroblast-mediated remodeling, LPA could play a role in the tissue remodeling that characterizes wound repair.

Abstract
The inducible costimulator (ICOS) is the newest member of the CD28/CD152 receptor family involved in regulating T cell activation. We constructed a soluble-Ig fusion protein of the extracellular domain of human ICOS and used it as a probe to characterize expression patterns of the ICOS ligand (ICOSL). ICOSIg did not bind to CD80- or CD86-transfected Chinese hamster ovary cell lines, demonstrating that ICOSL is distinct from those ligands identified for CD28/CD152. ICOSIg showed selective binding to monocytic and B cell lines, whereas binding was undetectable on unstimulated monocytes and peripheral blood T and B cells. Expression of ICOSL was induced on monocytes after integrin-dependent plastic adhesion. Pretreatment of monocytes with mAb to the beta2-integrin subunit CD18 decreased adhesion and abolished ICOSL up-regulation but had no effect on CD80/86 (CD152 ligand (CD152L)) expression. Both ICOSL and CD152L were up-regulated on monocytes by IFN-gamma but by distinct signaling pathways. Unlike CD152L expression, ICOSL expression did not change when monocytes were differentiated into dendritic cells (DCs) or after DCs were induced to mature by LPS, TNF-alpha, or CD40 ligation. Addition of ICOSIg to allogeneic MLRs between DCs and T cells reduced T cell proliferative responses but did so less efficiently than CTLA4Ig (CD152Ig) did. Similarly, ICOSIg also blocked Ag-specific T cell proliferation to tetanus toxoid. Thus, ICOSL, like CD80/86, is expressed on activated monocytes and dendritic cells but is regulated differently and delivers distinct signals to T cells that can be specifically inhibited by ICOSIg.

Abstract
The capacitative Ca2+ entry pathway in J774 macrophages is rapidly inhibited by the amino sugar glucosamine. This pathway is also inhibited by treatments such as 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2dGlc) or glucose deprivation that inhibit glycolysis and lead to significant decreases in cellular ATP and other trinucleotides. We sought to determine whether glucosamine's effect on capacitative Ca2+ entry was also due to ATP depletion, as has been suggested recently for its link to insulin resistance. In contrast to brief treatments with 2dGlc, there was no significant decrease in ATP following exposure to glucosamine. In addition, the 2dGlc-mediated inhibition of capacitative Ca2+ influx was reversed by staurosporine, a microbial alkaloid that inhibits a broad range of protein kinases. Staurosporine was also able to reverse the inhibition of capacitative Ca2+ entry seen following other treatments that decreased cellular ATP levels, including cytochalasin B and iodoacetic acid. Other inhibitors of protein kinase C, including bisindolylmaleimide, K252a, H-7, and calphostin C, were unable to mimic this effect of staurosporine. However, the inhibition of capacitative Ca2+ influx in the presence of glucosamine was not reversed by staurosporine. These data indicate that the inhibitory action on capacitative Ca2+ entry of glucosamine is distinct from that caused by ATP depletion.

Abstract
Lymphocyte extravasation involves a step(s) of de-adhesion to allow trans- and subendothelial migration in response to inflammatory signals. We show here that ligated VCAM-1 was rapidly internalized (t1/2 14.5 min) in ECV 304 endothelial cells and in TNF-alpha-primed human umbilical vein-derived endothelial cells (t1/2 11.2 min). The process required energy (ATP), intracellular Ca2+, an intact cytoskeletal network and active protein kinases. The internalization of VCAM-1 involved a clathrin-dependent pathway based on the observations that 1) it was inhibited in cells treated with lysosomotropic agents or with a hypertonic concentration of sucrose, and 2) internalized VCAM-1 colocalized with clathrin. In contrast, the cross-linked alpha 4 beta 1 integrin counter-receptor of VCAM-1 remained associated with the plasma membrane of purified peripheral T and Jurkat cells. Our results suggest a model where VCAM-1 would initially participate in the retention of T cells to the endothelium by binding alpha 4 beta 1 integrin. Lymphocyte de-adhesion would be facilitated as a result of the internalization of VCAM-1. The persistent cell surface expression of alpha 4 beta 1 integrin would allow the migrating T cells to interact with and receive signal(s) from its fibronectin ligand of the extracellular matrix.

Abstract
The discovery of a diverse and unique subset of ion channels in T lymphocytes has led to a rapidly growing body of knowledge about their functional roles in the immune system. Potent and specific blockers have provided molecular tools to probe channel structure-function relations and to elucidate the involvement of K+, Ca2+, and Cl- channels in T-cell activation and cell volume regulation. Recent advances in analyzing Kv1.3 channel structure-function relationships have defined binding sites for channel blockers, which have now been shown to be effective in suppressing T-cell function in vivo. Ion channels may provide excellent pharmaceutical targets for modulating immune system function.

Abstract
Ligation of very late antigen (VLA)-4 (alpha 4 beta 1 integrin) with a cross-linked anti-alpha 4 subunit monoclonal antibody (mAb) triggered a biphasic Ca2+ response in Jurkat cell populations and in peripheral human lymphocytes. Cross-linking vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1 (the counter-receptor of VLA-4) in ECV 304 endothelial cells generated a biphasic Ca2+ response. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha-primed human umbilical cord vascular endothelial cells also responded to the cross-linked mAb with a biphasic Ca2+ profile. Ligated VLA-4 (Jurkat cells) or VCAM-1 (ECV 304) stimulated the production of myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate. ECV 304 cells induced a biphasic Ca2+ response in Fura2-loaded Jurkat cells, whereas a transient response was observed when Jurkat cells were added to Fura2-loaded ECV 304 cells. The Ca2+ responses in these experiments involved VLA-4/VCAM-1 interactions since they were significantly reduced (approximately 80%) by prior treatment of the target cells with the relevant noncross-linked mAb. Close contact between the cells triggered mutual Ca2+ signaling as shown by spectrofluorimetric and confocal microscopy time-dependent recordings. Fibronectin and its CS-1 fragment (V25) triggered a sustained Ca2+ response in Jurkat cells (confocal microscopy). Our results suggest that the VLA-4 and VCAM-1 adhesion molecules can transduce a signal that involves activation of the phosphoinositide pathway and the mobilization of Ca2+.

Abstract
Caffeine and ryanodine triggered an increase in [Ca2+]i (73 +/- 22 and 61 +/- 18 nM, respectively) in Jurkat cell populations that was independent of external Ca2+. In individual cells, caffeine and ryanodine induced Ca2+ spikes. Jurkat cell populations initially exposed to caffeine did not respond further to ryanodine and vice versa, suggesting an overlap of the Ca2+ pool that was contained within the thapsigargin-sensitive Ca2+ reserve. [3H]ryanodine bound to a single class of sites of Jurkat microsomes (KD, 18.4 +/- 5.7 nM; Bmax, 24.3 +/- 7.7 fmol/mg protein). Photolytic release (Nitr5) of caged Ca2+ induced a time-dependent increase of Ca2+ in individual Jurkat cells. The profile of the release of Ca2+ was characterized, 1) by a kinetic (0.55 +/- 0.07 nM s-1) slower than the Ca2+ response to caffeine (3.93 +/- 0.66 nM s-1) or to ryanodine (3.96 +/- 0.94 nM s-1), 2) by a release of Ca2+ (131 +/- 43 nM) that slowly returned to baseline and during which low amplitude oscillations were present (room temperature) or Ca2+ spikes (37 degrees C) and, 3) by a lack of dependency on an influx of Ca2+. Inhibitors of CICR (ruthenium red and 1-octanol) prevented the photolysis-dependent increase in [Ca2+]i but not the InsP3-dependent Ca2+ response. Our data suggest that Jurkat T cells possess at least two Ca2+ pools, one that is sensitive to InsP3 and one that is insensitive. These two Ca2+ pools may be involved in a CICR that generates spontaneous Ca2+ spikes and oscillations in these cells.
