Abstract
The plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase (PMCA) is crucial for the fine tuning of intracellular calcium levels in eukaryotic cells. In this study, we show the presence of CARC sequences in all human and rat PMCA isoforms and we performed further analysis by molecular dynamics simulations. This analysis focuses on PMCA1, containing three CARC motifs, and PMCA4, with four CARC domains. In PMCA1, two CARC motifs reside within transmembrane domains, while the third is situated at the intracellular interface. The simulations depict more stable RMSD values and lower RMSF fluctuations in the presence of cholesterol, emphasizing its potential stabilizing effect. In PMCA4, a distinct dynamic was found. Notably, the total energy differences between simulations with cholesterol and phospholipids are pronounced in PMCA4 compared to PMCA1. RMSD values for PMCA4 indicate a more energetically favorable conformation in the presence of cholesterol, suggesting a robust interaction between CARCs and this lipid in the membranes. Furthermore, RMSF analysis for CARCs in both PMCA isoforms exhibit lower values in the presence of cholesterol compared to POPC alone. The analysis of H-bond occupancy and total energy values strongly suggests the potential interaction of CARCs with cholesterol. Given the crucial role of PMCAs in physiological calcium regulation and their involvement in diverse pathological processes, this study underscores the significance of CARC motifs and their interaction with cholesterol in elucidating PMCA function. These insights into the energetic preferences associated with CARC-cholesterol interactions offer valuable implications for understanding PMCA function in maintaining calcium homeostasis and addressing potential associated pathologies.

Abstract
The Ca2+ extrusion function of the four mammalian isoforms of the plasma membrane calcium ATPases (PMCAs) is well established. There is also ever-increasing detail known of their roles in global and local Ca2+ homeostasis and intracellular Ca2+ signaling in a wide variety of cell types and tissues. It is becoming clear that the spatiotemporal patterns of expression of the PMCAs and the fact that their abundances and relative expression levels vary from cell type to cell type both reflect and impact on their specific functions in these cells. Over recent years it has become increasingly apparent that these genes have potentially significant roles in human health and disease, with PMCAs1-4 being associated with cardiovascular diseases, deafness, autism, ataxia, adenoma, and malarial resistance. This review will bring together evidence of the variety of tissue-specific functions of PMCAs and will highlight the roles these genes play in regulating normal physiological functions and the considerable impact the genes have on human disease.

Abstract
Immunophilins are FK506-binding proteins that have been involved in the regulation of calcium homeostasis, either by modulating Ca(2+) channels located in the plasma membrane or in the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RE). We have investigated whether immunophilins would participate in the regulation of stored-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) in human platelets and MEG 01. Both cell types were loaded with fura-2 for determining cytosolic calcium concentration changes ([Ca(2+)](c)), or stimulated and fixed to evaluate the protein interaction profile by performing immunoprecipitation and western blotting. We have found that incubation of platelets with FK506 increases Ca(2+) mobilization. Thapsigargin (TG)-evoked, Thr-evoked SOCE and TG-evoked Mn(2+) entry resulted in significant reduction by treatment of platelets with immunophilin antagonists. We confirmed by immunoprecipitation that immunophilins interact with transient receptor potential channel 1 (TRPC1) and Orai1 in human platelets. FK506 and rapamycin reduced the association between TRPC1 and Orai1 with FK506 binding protein (52) (FKBP52) in human platelets, and between TRPC1 and the type II IP(3)R, which association is known to be crucial for the maintenance of SOCE in human platelets. FKBP52 role in SOCE activation was confirmed by silencing FKBP52 using SiRNA FKBP52 in MEG 01 as demonstrated by single cell configuration imaging technique. TRPC1 silencing and depletion of cell of TRPC1 and FKBP52 simultaneously, impair activation of SOCE evoked by TG in MEG 01. Finally, in MEG 01 incubated with FK506 we observed a reduction in TRPC1/FKBP52 coupling, and similarly, FKBP52 silencing reduced the association between IP3R type II and TRPC1 during SOCE. All together, these results demonstrate that immunophilins participate in the regulation of SOCE in human platelets.

Abstract
Platelets have essential roles in both health and disease. Normal platelet function is required for hemostasis. Inhibition of platelet function in disease or by pharmacological treatment results in bleeding disorders. On the other hand, hyperactive platelets lead to heart attack and stroke. Calcium is a major second messenger in platelet activation, and elevated intracellular calcium leads to hyperactive platelets. Elevated platelet calcium has been documented in hypertension and diabetes; both conditions increase the likelihood of heart attack and stroke. Thus, proper regulation of calcium metabolism in the platelet is extremely important. Plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase (PMCA) is a major player in platelet calcium metabolism since it provides the only significant route for calcium efflux. In keeping with the important role of calcium in platelet function, PMCA is a highly regulated transporter. In human platelets, PMCA is activated by Ca2+/calmodulin, by cAMP-dependent phosphorylation and by calpain-dependent removal of the inhibitory peptide. It is inhibited by tyrosine phosphorylation and calpain-dependent proteolysis. In addition, the cellular location of PMCA is regulated by a PDZ-domain-dependent interaction with the cytoskeleton during platelet activation. Rapid regulation by phosphorylation results in changes in the rate of platelet activation, whereas calpain-dependent proteolysis and interaction with the cytoskeleton appears to regulate later events such as clot retraction. In hypertension and diabetes, PMCA expression is upregulated while activity is decreased, presumably due to tyrosine phosphorylation. Clearly, a more complete understanding of PMCA function in human platelets could result in the identification of new ways to control platelet function in disease states.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The role of cyclophilins (chaperones that are widely expressed in different cell types, including human platelets) was explored in sarcoendoplasmic calcium (Ca(2+)) adenosine triphosphatase (SERCA) activity. METHODS AND RESULTS Cyclophilin inhibition by cyclosporin A (CsA) evoked a time- and concentration-dependent reduction of Ca(2+) uptake by SERCA2b. However, other Ca(2+)-adenosine triphosphatases expressed in platelets, such as SERCA3 and plasma membrane Ca(2+) adenosine triphophatase, remained unaltered after CsA treatment. Cypermethrin, a non-CsA-related calcineurin inhibitor, did not alter SERCA2b activity. Furthermore, SERCA2b was affected by other CsA analogues, which do not interfere with calcineurin, such as PKF-211-811-NX5 (NIM811) and sanglifehrin A. Inhibition of the immunophilin family members using FK506 (tacrolimus) did not alter SERCA2b ability to sequester Ca(2+) into the dense tubular system. Coimmunoprecipitation experiments confirmed that cyclophilin A associates with SERCA2b and stromal interaction molecule-1 in resting platelets. This interaction is attenuated by the physiological agonist thrombin but enhanced by treatment with CsA or sanglifehrin A. CONCLUSIONS Cyclophilin A is a regulator of SERCA2b in human platelets.

Abstract
The aetiology of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), the most common form of scoliosis, is unclear. Previous studies showed controversial platelet abnormalities including intracellular calcium. Platelet Ca2+ homeostasis is controlled by a multi-Ca2+-ATPase system including SERCA (sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase) and PMCA (plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase) isoforms. Here, we first investigated the expression of PMCA4b, SERCA3a and SERCA2b isoforms in platelets of 17 patients with AIS. Patients presenting thoracic curves were found to present a higher PMCA4b expression coupled to a lower SERCA3a one in agreement with an abnormality in platelet maturation. Indeed, using PMA-treated MEG 01 cells, an in vitro model of megakaryocytopoiesis, we found an increase in SERCA3a expression, associated to a caspase-3 mediated C terminal proteolysis of PMCA4b. To look whether platelets reflect a basic defect in cell differentiation, we next identified osteoblast Ca2+-ATPases and studied their expressions in AIS. Major expressions of PMCA4b and SERCA2b were found in normal osteoblasts. Comparing platelets and osteoblasts in two additional patients with AIS, we found opposite and concerted regulations of the expressions of PMCA4b and caspase-3 substrate, PARP in both cell types. A systemic defect in cell differentiation involving caspase-3 can be proposed as a novel mechanism in the etiopathogenesis of the most frequent type of AIS. *R. Bredoux and E. Corvazier contributed equally to this work.

Abstract
Agonist-induced elevation in cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations is essential for platelet activation in hemostasis and thrombosis. It occurs through Ca2+ release from intracellular stores and Ca2+ entry through the plasma membrane (PM). Ca2+ store release is a well-established process involving phospholipase (PL)C-mediated production of inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), which in turn releases Ca2+ from the intracellular stores through IP3 receptor channels. In contrast, the mechanisms controlling Ca2+ entry and the significance of this process for platelet activation have been elucidated only very recently. In platelets, as in other non-excitable cells, the major way of Ca2+ entry involves the agonist-induced release of cytosolic sequestered Ca2+ followed by Ca2+ influx through the PM, a process referred to as store-operated calcium entry (SOCE). It is now clear that stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1), a Ca2+ sensor molecule in intracellular stores, and the four transmembrane channel protein Orai1 are the key players in platelet SOCE. The other major Ca2+ entry mechanism is mediated by the direct receptor-operated calcium (ROC) channel, P2X1. Besides these, canonical transient receptor potential channel (TRPC) 6 mediates Ca2+ entry through the PM. This review summarizes the current knowledge of platelet Ca2+ homeostasis with a focus on the newly identified Ca2+ entry mechanisms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown platelet Ca(2+) abnormalities in diabetes mellitus and some reports suggest abnormal platelet production. Platelet Ca(2+) homeostasis is controlled by a multi-Ca(2+)-ATPase system that includes two plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase (PMCA) and seven sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA) isoforms. In addition, we recently found that the expression of PMCA4b and SERCA3 isoforms may serve as new markers of abnormal megakaryocytopoiesis [Nurden P et al. Impaired megakaryocytopoiesis in type 2B von Willebrand disease with severe thrombocytopenia. Blood 2006; 108: 2587-95]. AIM To analyze the expression of major platelet Ca(2+)-ATPases in 27 patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes (T1D or T2D) compared with normal donors. METHODS Investigation of protein and mRNA expressions of PMCA1b and PMCA4b, and SERCA2b, SERCA3a and SERCA3b, using specific Western blotting and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, respectively. RESULTS Remarkably, all patients with T1D were found to present a higher expression of PMCA4b protein (212% +/- 28%; n = 10) and PMCA4b mRNA (155% +/- 16%; n = 17), coupled with a higher expression of SERCA3b mRNA (165% +/- 9%) in some cases. Patients with T2D (n = 10) were also studied for protein expression and were found to present similar major upregulation of the expression of PMCA4b protein (180% +/- 28%; n = 10). Lastly, five of 10 patients with T1D were studied for PMCA4b expression after insulin treatment, with four of five recovering normal expression (96% +/- 15%; n = 5). CONCLUSIONS Compared with the expression of PMCA4b upon platelet maturation, platelets from diabetic patients exhibit similarities with immature megakaryocytes. Thus, this study reinforces the idea that abnormal megakaryocytopoiesis can provide additional insights into diabetes and could represent a novel therapeutic target for antithrombotic drugs.

Abstract
The plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase (PMCA) plays an essential role in maintaining low cytosolic Ca(2+) in resting human platelets by extruding Ca(2+) from the cytoplasm across the plasma membrane. Since PMCA is the main agent of Ca(2+) efflux in platelets, it is a key point for regulation of platelet Ca(2+) metabolism. PMCA has been shown to be an excellent substrate for the Ca(2+)-activated cysteine protease calpain, a major platelet protein that is turned on during platelet activation. The objectives of the present work were to determine if PMCA is degraded during thrombin- and collagen-mediated platelet activation, and if calpain is responsible. The kinetics of PMCA degradation during platelet activation were analysed using SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting. The role of calpain was tested using the calpain inhibitors calpeptin and ALLN. Platelet activation mediated by both collagen and thrombin resulted in degradation of 60% of platelet PMCA within 18 minutes. Calpeptin and ALLN significantly inhibited the rate and extent of PMCA degradation. We conclude that calpain-mediated degradation of PMCA during platelet activation likely contributes significantly to Ca(2+) regulation and, therefore, to platelet function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase (PMCA) plays an essential role in maintaining low intracellular Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)) in resting platelets. Earlier studies demonstrated that platelet activation by thrombin results in tyrosine phosphorylation of PMCA, which inhibits pump activity. OBJECTIVES The objective was to determine the functional consequences of PMCA tyrosine phosphorylation. METHODS A decapeptide including the tyrosine phosphorylation site of PMCA and a scrambled version were synthesized and introduced into human platelets using saponin. Fura-2 calcium monitoring and aggregometry were used to characterize the effects of inhibition of tyrosine phosphorylation. RESULTS Western blot analysis of immunoprecipitates showed that introduction of the inhibitory peptide decreased tyrosine phosphorylation of PMCA by nearly 60% in saponin-permeabilized, thrombin-treated platelets as compared with the scrambled control peptide. Concomitant with inhibition of PMCA tyrosine phosphorylation was a significant decrease in [Ca(2+)](i) during thrombin-mediated platelet activation. The functional consequence of reduced PMCA tyrosine phosphorylation and decreased [Ca(2+)](i) was a significant delay in the onset of thrombin-mediated platelet aggregation. CONCLUSIONS The results demonstrate that PMCA tyrosine phosphorylation regulates [Ca(2+)](i) during platelet activation, which affects downstream events in the activation process. Moreover, PMCA tyrosine phosphorylation and resultant inhibition of PMCA activity produces a positive feedback loop mechanism by enhancing the increase in [Ca(2+)](i) accompanying platelet activation.

Abstract
In this work we demonstrate a differentiation-induced up-regulation of the expression of plasma membrane Ca2+ATPase (PMCA) isoforms being present in various gastric/colon cancer cell types. We found PMCA1b as the major isoform in non-differentiated cancer cell lines, whereas the expression level of PMCA4b was significantly lower. Cell differentiation initiated with short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and trichostatin A, or spontaneous differentiation of post-confluent cell cultures resulted in a marked induction of PMCA4b expression, while only moderately increased PMCA1b levels. Up-regulation of PMCA4b expression was demonstrated both at the protein and mRNA levels, and closely correlated with the induction of established differentiation markers. In contrast, the expression level of the Na+/K+-ATPase or that of the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ATPase 2 protein did not change significantly under these conditions. In membrane vesicles obtained from SCFA-treated gastric/colon cancer cells a marked increase in the PMCA-dependent Ca2+ transport activity was observed, indicating a general increase of PMCA function during the differentiation of these cancer cells. Because various PMCA isoforms display distinct functional characteristics, we suggest that up-regulated PMCA expression, together with a major switch in PMCA isoform pattern may significantly contribute to the differentiation of gastric/colon cancer cells. The analysis of PMCA expression may provide a new diagnostic tool for monitoring the tumor phenotype.

Abstract
In type 2B von Willebrand disease, there is spontaneous binding of mutated von Willebrand factor (VWF) multimers to platelets. Here we report a family in which severe thrombocytopenia may also be linked to abnormal megakaryocytopoiesis. A heterozygous mutation in the VWF A1 domain gave a R1308P substitution in an interactive site for glycoprotein Ibalpha (GPIbalpha). Electron microscopy showed clusters of platelets in close contact. Binding of antibodies to the GPIbalpha N-terminal domain was decreased, whereas GPIX and GPV were normally detected. In Western blotting (WB), GPIbalpha, alphaIIb, and beta3 were normally present. Proteins involved in Ca(2+) homeostasis were analyzed by quantitating platelet mRNA or by WB. Plasma membrane Ca(2+) ATPase (PMCA)-4b and type III inositol trisphosphate receptor (InsP(3)-R3) were selectively increased. The presence of degradation products of polyadenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribose polymerase protein (PARP) suggested ongoing caspase-3 activity. These were findings typical of immature normal megakaryocytes cultured from peripheral blood CD34(+) cells with TPO. Significantly, megakaryocytes from the patients in culture produced self-associated and interwoven proplatelets. Immunolocalization showed VWF not only associated with platelets, but already on the megakaryocyte surface and within internal channels. In this family, type 2B VWD is clearly associated with abnormal platelet production.

Abstract
PMCA (plasma membrane calcium ATPase) is an energy-driven membrane transporter that pumps calcium out of the cell cytosol. Stable resting calcium and highly regulated cytosolic calcium fluxes must be maintained for proper cellular function. The primary function of PMCA in calcium homeostasis is to regulate the steady-state calcium concentration while cells are still at rest. We examined the effects of stable production of antisense RNAs targeted to the PMCA subtype 4b (PMCA4b) on cultured human megakaryoblastic (Meg-01) cells. The expression of PMCA-4b in these cells was diminished by approximately 50% as assessed by Western immunoblotting and in vitro ATPase assay. It was also determined that endogenous expression of PMCA1b in these cells was at a level such as that it can not be detected by Western immunoblotting. The rate of calcium efflux catalyzed by PMVA4b was inhibited in cells with decreased PMCA4b expression by approximately 60%. However, there was no difference in extrusion rate when sarco(endo)plasmic reticular ATPases (SERCA) were not functional. The resting levels of intracellular calcium concentrations in these cells were also not distinguishable from those of wild-type cells. These results suggest that a decrease in PMCA expression in Meg-01 cells is compensated to maintain normal intracellular calcium levels.

Abstract
The molecular cloning of two previously unknown human sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase 3 (SERCA3) 3'-end transcripts, 3b and 3c, has been recently published. Data were lacking, however, for the presence of these SERCA3 variants in different tissue or cell types at the protein level. Here we report the co-expression of three human SERCA3 protein isoforms in platelets and T lymphoid Jurkat cells. Isoform-specific polyclonal anti-peptide antibodies have been generated that recognize specifically the SERCA3a, 3b or 3c splice variants at their C-termini, and this has been confirmed by peptide-competition experiments as well. None of these antibodies cross-reacted with the housekeeping SERCA2b isoform co-expressed endogenously with SERCA3 proteins in non-muscle cells. Although all three SERCA3 isoforms could be detected in platelets, the 3a form was the most abundantly expressed species. Its size matched the apparent size of SERCA3a over-expressed in HEK-293 cells. Immunoprecipitation of the SERCA3 variants from platelet membranes using a PL/IM 430-affinity matrix provided evidence that the putative pan-anti-SERCA3 antibody, PL/IM 430, recognizes all SERCA3 protein isoforms. The epitope for the PL/IM 430 antibody could be localized in a 40 kDa N-terminal tryptic fragment common to all three SERCA3 variants. Comparative Western-blot analysis showed that the expression level of the SERCA3a, 3b and 3c isoforms was more than 10 times lower in Jurkat cells than in platelets, whereas expression of the ubiquitous SERCA2b was nearly identical. This work highlights new Ca(2+)-transporting proteins of haematopoietic cells and provides specific antibodies for their detection.

Abstract
Store-regulated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) is an important mechanism of elevating cytosolic [Ca(2+)]i in platelets, though the Ca(2+) influx channels involved are still unclear. We screened human platelets and their precursor cells (human stem cells and megakaryocytes) for the presence of candidate influx channels, i.e., isoforms of the Trp family of proteins. Primary stem cells were cultured with thrombopoietin to allow differentiation into megakaryocytes. The undifferentiated stem cells (CD34(+)) showed mRNA expression of only a spliced variant Trp1A. Immature (CD61(+)/CD42b(low)) and mature (CD61(+)/CD42b(high)) megakaryocytes as well as platelets expressed in addition unspliced Trp1 as well as Trp4 (less abundant) and Trp6 isoforms. This unspliced isoform appeared to be specific for cells of the megakaryocyte/platelet lineage, since immature (CD14(+)/CD61(-)/CD42b(-)) and mature monocytes expressed only the Trp1A isoform. This conclusion was confirmed by the presence of Trp1A, 3, 4 and 6 transcripts in the immature megakaryocytic Dami cell line, and of Trp1, 1A, 4 and 6 transcripts in the more mature CHRF-288 cell line. The up-regulation of Trp1, 4 and 6 in the lineage from primary stem cells to mature megakaryocytes and platelets was accompanied by increased influx of extracellular Ca(2+) after pretreatment of the cells with thapsigargin or thrombin. Expression of new Trp isoforms in the differentiated cells is thus accompanied by increased SOCE.

Abstract
The plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase (PMCA) plays an essential role in maintaining low cytosolic Ca(2+) in resting platelets. During platelet activation PMCA is phosphorylated transiently on tyrosine residues resulting in inhibition of the pump that enhances elevation of Ca(2+). Tyrosine phosphorylation of many proteins during platelet activation results in their association with the cytoskeleton. Consequently, in the present study we asked if PMCA interacts with the platelet cytoskeleton. We observed that very little PMCA is associated with the cytoskeleton in resting platelets but that approximately 80% of total PMCA (PMCA1b + PMCA4b) is redistributed to the cytoskeleton upon activation with thrombin. Tyrosine phosphorylation of PMCA during activation was not associated with the redistribution because tyrosine-phosphorylated PMCA was not translocated specifically to the cytoskeleton. Because PMCA b-splice isoforms have C-terminal PSD-95/Dlg/ZO-1 homology domain (PDZ)-binding domains, a C-terminal peptide was used to disrupt potential PDZ domain interactions. Activation of saponin-permeabilized platelets in the presence of the peptide led to a significant decrease of PMCA in the cytoskeleton. PMCA associated with the cytoskeleton retained Ca(2+)-ATPase activity. These results suggest that during activation active PMCA is recruited to the cytoskeleton by interaction with PDZ domains and that this association provides a microenvironment with a reduced Ca(2+) concentration.

Abstract
Calcium pumps of the plasma membrane (also known as plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPases or PMCAs) are responsible for the expulsion of Ca(2+) from the cytosol of all eukaryotic cells. Together with Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchangers, they are the major plasma membrane transport system responsible for the long-term regulation of the resting intracellular Ca(2+) concentration. Like the Ca(2+) pumps of the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum (SERCAs), which pump Ca(2+) from the cytosol into the endoplasmic reticulum, the PMCAs belong to the family of P-type primary ion transport ATPases characterized by the formation of an aspartyl phosphate intermediate during the reaction cycle. Mammalian PMCAs are encoded by four separate genes, and additional isoform variants are generated via alternative RNA splicing of the primary gene transcripts. The expression of different PMCA isoforms and splice variants is regulated in a developmental, tissue- and cell type-specific manner, suggesting that these pumps are functionally adapted to the physiological needs of particular cells and tissues. PMCAs 1 and 4 are found in virtually all tissues in the adult, whereas PMCAs 2 and 3 are primarily expressed in excitable cells of the nervous system and muscles. During mouse embryonic development, PMCA1 is ubiquitously detected from the earliest time points, and all isoforms show spatially overlapping but distinct expression patterns with dynamic temporal changes occurring during late fetal development. Alternative splicing affects two major locations in the plasma membrane Ca(2+) pump protein: the first intracellular loop and the COOH-terminal tail. These two regions correspond to major regulatory domains of the pumps. In the first cytosolic loop, the affected region is embedded between a putative G protein binding sequence and the site of phospholipid sensitivity, and in the COOH-terminal tail, splicing affects pump regulation by calmodulin, phosphorylation, and differential interaction with PDZ domain-containing anchoring and signaling proteins. Recent evidence demonstrating differential distribution, dynamic regulation of expression, and major functional differences between alternative splice variants suggests that these transporters play a more dynamic role than hitherto assumed in the spatial and temporal control of Ca(2+) signaling. The identification of mice carrying PMCA mutations that lead to diseases such as hearing loss and ataxia, as well as the corresponding phenotypes of genetically engineered PMCA "knockout" mice further support the concept of specific, nonredundant roles for each Ca(2+) pump isoform in cellular Ca(2+) regulation.

Abstract
Gaining insight into nonmuscle Ca(2+) signaling requires basic knowledge of the major structures involved. We investigated the expression of platelet Ca(2+)ATPases in normal and hypertension-associated abnormal Ca(2+) signaling. First, overall identification of normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rat Ca(2+)ATPases was attempted by looking for newly described human platelet 3'-end alternatively spliced sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)ATPases (SERCA) 3b mRNA and plasma membrane Ca(2+)ATPase (PMCA) 1b and 4b proteins, in addition to SERCA2b and SERCA3a isoforms. For SERCAs, comparative analyses of human and Wistar-Kyoto rat SERCA3 platelet mRNA by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) followed by sequencing established that human platelets coexpressed SERCA3b and a third SERCA3c, while rat cells were devoid of them but expressed a still unknown splice variant that we termed rSERCA3b/3c. Its identification using 3'-end SERCA3 gene and rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE)-PCR studies showed that it results from an additional SERCA3 alternative splicing process, which uses a second alternative polyadenylation site located in the last intron. For PMCAs, with the use of gene-specific RT-PCR followed by sequencing and Western blotting using 5F10 monoclonal antibody, expression of human and rat platelet PMCA1b and PMCA4b was similar. Second, comparative analysis of these newly identified Ca(2+)ATPases and SERCA3a in age-matched spontaneously hypertensive rat platelets demonstrated (1) a marked downregulation of rSERCA3b/3c, which became null, and a 1.71-fold increase in SERCA3a and (2) an opposite regulation of the 2 PMCAs, namely, a 3.3-fold decrease in PMCA1b mRNA and a 3.7-fold increase in PMCA4b mRNA. Hence, platelets coexpress multiple, diverse, and species-specific Ca(2+)ATPases, including a novel fourth SERCA3. Moreover, expression of PMCA (1b and 4b), SERCA3a, and rSERCA3b/3c was modulated in rat hypertension. Hence, Ca(2+)ATPases should be regarded as constituting a new rational basis for the understanding of nonmuscle cell Ca(2+) signaling.
