Protein kinases modulate store-operated channels in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells. J Biomed Sci 2011; 18:2.

Abstract
Background This study investigates whether protein kinase G (PKG), protein kinase A (PKA) and protein kinase C (PKC) are involved in the regulatory mechanisms of store-operated channel (SOC) in pulmonary arteries. Methods Pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) were enzymatically dissociated from rat intralobar pulmonary arteries. Whole cell, cell-attached and inside-out patch-clamp electrophysiology were used to monitor SOCs in isolated PASMCs. Results Initially the Ca2+-ATPase inhibitor cyclopiazonic acid (CPA, 10 μM) initiated a whole cell current that was reduced by the SOC blocker SKF-96365 (10 μM). Subsequent work using both cell-attached and whole cell configurations revealed that the PKG and PKA inhibitors, KT5823 (3 μM) and H-89 (10 μM), also stimulated SOC activity; this augmentation was attenuated by the SOC blockers SKF-96365 (10 μM) and Ni2+ (0.1 mM). Finally using the inside-out configuration, the PKC activator phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA, 10 μM) was confirmed to modestly stimulate SOC activity although this augmentation appeared to be more substantial following the application of 10 μM inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3). Conclusions SOC activity in PASMCs was stimulated by the inhibition of PKG and PKA and the activation of PKC. Our findings suggest that the SOC could be a substrate of these protein kinases, which therefore would regulate the intracellular concentration of calcium and pulmonary arteriopathy via SOC.

Abstract
In electrically nonexcitable cells, Ca2+influx is essential for regulating a host of kinetically distinct processes involving exocytosis, enzyme control, gene regulation, cell growth and proliferation, and apoptosis. The major Ca2+entry pathway in these cells is the store-operated one, in which the emptying of intracellular Ca2+stores activates Ca2+influx (store-operated Ca2+entry, or capacitative Ca2+entry). Several biophysically distinct store-operated currents have been reported, but the best characterized is the Ca2+release-activated Ca2+current, ICRAC. Although it was initially considered to function only in nonexcitable cells, growing evidence now points towards a central role for ICRAC-like currents in excitable cells too. In spite of intense research, the signal that relays the store Ca2+content to CRAC channels in the plasma membrane, as well as the molecular identity of the Ca2+sensor within the stores, remains elusive. Resolution of these issues would be greatly helped by the identification of the CRAC channel gene. In some systems, evidence suggests that store-operated channels might be related to TRP homologs, although no consensus has yet been reached. Better understood are mechanisms that inactivate store-operated entry and hence control the overall duration of Ca2+entry. Recent work has revealed a central role for mitochondria in the regulation of ICRAC, and this is particularly prominent under physiological conditions. ICRACtherefore represents a dynamic interplay between endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and plasma membrane. In this review, we describe the key electrophysiological features of ICRACand other store-operated Ca2+currents and how they are regulated, and we consider recent advances that have shed insight into the molecular mechanisms involved in this ubiquitous and vital Ca2+entry pathway.

Abstract
Capacitative calcium entry is a process whereby the depletion of Ca(2+) from intracellular stores (likely endoplasmic or sarcoplasmic reticulum) activates plasma membrane Ca(2+) channels. Current research has focused on identification of capacitative calcium entry channels and the mechanism by which Ca(2+) store depletion activates the channels. Leading candidates for the channels are members of the transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily, although no single gene or gene product has been definitively proven to mediate capacitative calcium entry. The mechanism for activation of the channels is not known; proposals fall into two general categories, either a diffusible signal released from the Ca(2+) stores when their Ca(2+) levels become depleted, or a more direct protein-protein interaction between constituents of the endoplasmic reticulum and the plasma membrane channels. Capacitative calcium entry is a major mechanism for regulated Ca(2+) influx in non-excitable cells, but recent research has indicated that this pathway plays an important role in the function of neuronal cells, and may be important in a number of neuropathological conditions. This review will summarize some of these more recent findings regarding the role of capacitative calcium entry in normal and pathological processes in the nervous system.

Abstract
In A7r5 vascular smooth muscle cells vasopressin, via arachidonic acid, regulates two Ca(2+)-entry pathways. Capacitative Ca(2+) entry (CCE), activated by empty Ca(2+) stores, is inhibited by arachidonic acid, and non-capacitative Ca(2+) entry (NCCE) is stimulated by it. This reciprocal regulation ensures that all Ca(2+) entry is via NCCE in the presence of vasopressin, while CCE mediates a transient Ca(2+) entry only after removal of vasopressin. We demonstrate that type III NO synthase (NOS III) is expressed in A7r5 cells and that NO inhibits CCE. Inhibition of CCE by vasopressin requires NOS III and the requirement lies downstream of arachidonic acid. Activation of soluble guanylate cyclase by NO and subsequent activation of protein kinase G are required for inhibition of CCE. Stimulation of NCCE by vasopressin also requires NOS III, but the stimulation is neither mimicked by cGMP nor blocked by inhibitors of soluble guanylate cyclase or protein kinase G. We conclude that arachidonic acid formed in response to vasopressin stimulates NOS III. NO then directly stimulates Ca(2+) entry through NCCE and, via protein kinase G, it inhibits CCE. The additional amplification provided by the involvement of guanylate cyclase and protein kinase G ensures that CCE will always be inhibited when vasopressin activates NCCE.

Abstract
1. The object of this study was to determine whether inhibition of capacitative calcium entry is essential for relaxation of the mouse anococcygeus via the NO/cyclic GMP signalling pathway. 2. In intact muscles, thapsigargin (Tg; 100 nM)-induced tone was relaxed by NO, sodium nitroprusside (SNP), 8-Br-cyclic GMP, and nitrergic field stimulation. The relaxations were similar in magnitude to those observed against carbachol (50 microM) tone and, with the exception of those to 8-Br-cyclic GMP, were reduced by the soluble guanylyl cyclase inhibitor 1H-[1,2,4]oxodiazolo[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ, 5 microM). 3. In single smooth muscle cells, loaded with Fura-2, both carbachol and Tg produced sustained elevations in cytoplasmic calcium levels ([Ca2+]i). SNP inhibited the rise in [Ca2+]i produced by carbachol, an effect attenuated by ODQ. In contrast, neither SNP nor 8-Br-cyclic GMP reduced the elevated [Ca2+]i associated with Tg. 4. In beta-escin skinned preparations, NO had no effect on tone induced by calcium (1 microM in the presence of 100 microM GTP). Carbachol and Tg produced further increases in calcium/GTP-induced tone and, in both cases, this additional tone was relaxed by NO and 8-Br-cyclic GMP. 5. The results support the hypothesis that the NO/cyclic GMP pathway inhibits capacitative calcium entry by refilling the internal stores, since reduction in [Ca2+]i was not observed in the presence of Tg. However, as muscle relaxation was still observed, impairment of capacitative calcium entry cannot be considered obligatory for relaxation. Results from skinned tissues suggest that inhibition of calcium sensitization processes, perhaps associated with store-depletion, may be an important mechanism of NO/cyclic GMP-induced relaxation.

Abstract
The rise in cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration (Ca(2+)(i)) in vascular endothelial cells (ECs) activates the production and release of nitric oxide (NO). NO modifies Ca(2+)(i) homeostasis in many types of nonendothelial cells. However, its effect on endothelial Ca(2+)(i) homeostasis at basal and excited states remains unclear. In the present study, to elucidate the effect of NO on basal Ca(2+)(i), inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-induced Ca(2+)(i) release (IICR) was blocked by expressing an antisense against type-1 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors or by microinjecting heparin to individual ECs, and the effects of NO that was released by and diffused from adjacent IICR-intact ECs were recorded. After ATP or bradykinin stimulation, IICR-inhibited ECs showed a marked reduction of basal Ca(2+)(i), which was abolished by N(G)-monomethyl-l-arginine monoacetate pretreatment. The reduction disappeared in sparsely seeded ECs. Exogenous NO gas mimicked the effect of ATP or bradykinin to reduce basal Ca(2+)(i). Blocking plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase (PMCA), but not Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchange or sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase, suppressed the reduction, indicating that the reduction resulted from a NO-dependent potentiation of PMCA. To elucidate the effect of NO on elevated Ca(2+)(i), ATP-, bradykinin-, or thapsigargin-evoked Ca(2+)(i) response in the presence and absence of NO production was compared in adjacent IICR-intact ECs. NO was found to potentiate PMCA, which, in turn, greatly attenuated agonist-evoked Ca(2+)(i) elevation. NO also potentiated Ca(2+) influx, which markedly increased the sustained phase of Ca(2+)(i) elevation and possibly NO production. NO did not affect other Ca(2+)(i)-elevating and Ca(2+)(i)-sequestrating components. Thus, NO-dependent potentiation of PMCA is crucial for Ca(2+)(i) homeostasis over a wide Ca(2+)(i) range.

Abstract
Store-operated Ca(2+) entry in vascular endothelial cells not only serves to refill the intracellular Ca(2+) stores, but also acts to stimulate the synthesis of nitric oxide, a key vasodilatory factor. In this study, we examined the role of cGMP in regulating the store-operated Ca(2+) entry in aortic endothelial cells. Cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) and thapsigargin, two selective inhibitors of endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase, were used to induce store-operated Ca(2+) entry. 8-Bromo-cGMP, an activator of protein kinase G, inhibited the CPA- or thapsigargin-induced Ca(2+) entry in a concentration-dependent manner. An inhibitor of protein kinase G, KT5823 (1 microM) or H-8 (10 microM), abolished the inhibitory action of 8-bromo-cGMP and resumed Ca(2+) entry. Addition of S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (a nitric oxide donor) or dipyridamole (a cGMP phosphodiesterase inhibitor) during CPA treatment elevated cellular cGMP levels, stimulated protein kinase G activity, and at the same time reduced Ca(2+) influx due to CPA. Patch clamp study confirmed the existence of a CPA-activated Ca(2+)-permeable channel sensitive to cGMP inhibition. These results suggest that cGMP via a protein kinase G-dependent mechanism may play a key role in the regulation of the store-operated Ca(2+) entry in vascular endothelial cells.

Abstract
Carbachol- and thapsigargin-induced changes in cGMP accumulation were highly dependent on extracellular Ca(2+) in mouse parotid acini. Inhibition of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) resulted in complete inhibition of agonist-induced cGMP levels. NOS inhibitors reduced agonist-induced Ca(2+) release and capacitative Ca(2+) entry, whereas the inhibition of sGC had no effect. The effects of NOS inhibition were not reversed by 8-bromo-cGMP. The NO donor GEA-3162 increased cGMP levels blocked by the inhibition of sGC. GEA-3162-induced increases in Ca(2+) release from ryanodine-sensitive stores and enhanced capacitative Ca(2+) entry, both of which were unaffected by inhibitors of sGC but reduced by NOS inhibitors. Results support a role for NO, independent of cGMP, in agonist-mediated Ca(2+) release and Ca(2+) entry. Data suggest that agonist-induced Ca(2+) influx activates a Ca(2+)-dependent NOS, leading to the production of NO and the release of Ca(2+) from ryanodine-sensitive stores, providing a feedback loop by which store-depleted Ca(2+) channels are activated.

Abstract
Ca2+, a primary regulator of physiological functions in all cells, is involved in a variety of intracellular signalling pathways; control of Ca2+ homeostasis is, therefore, a fundamental cell activity. To this end, cells have developed a variety of mechanisms to ensure the buffering of Ca2+, its influx and extrusion from the plasma membrane, and its release/accumulation within specific intracellular storage compartments. Over the last few years, evidence gathered from a number of cell systems has indicated that one of the key messengers governing the overall control of Ca2+ homeostasis is nitric oxide (NO), which may be produced intracellularly or may originate from neighboring cells. The aim of the present commentary is to concentrate on the biochemical steps in Ca2+ homeostasis that are controlled by NO and to describe what is known thus far concerning the molecular mechanisms of its action. Particular attention will be given to the effects of NO on: (i) inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and cyclic ADP ribose generation; (ii) Ca2+ release from both inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-sensitive and ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+ stores; and (iii) Ca2+ influx via both store- and second messenger-operated Ca2+ channels. The evidence discussed here documents the complexity of the interactions between the Ca2+ and the NO signalling systems, which represent an extraordinary example of cross-talk operating at multiple sites and which are continuously active in the regulation of cytosolic Ca2+ (and NO) levels.
