Metabolic syndrome inhibits store-operated Ca 2+ entry and calcium-induced calcium-release mechanism in coronary artery smooth muscle. Biochem Pharmacol 2020; 182:114222. [PMID: 32949582 DOI: 10.1016/j.bcp.2020.114222] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2020] [Revised: 09/14/2020] [Accepted: 09/15/2020] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Metabolic syndrome causes adverse effects on the coronary circulation including altered vascular responsiveness and the progression of coronary artery disease (CAD). However the underlying mechanisms linking obesity with CAD are intricated. Augmented vasoconstriction, mainly due to impaired Ca2+ homeostasis in coronary vascular smooth muscle (VSM), is a critical factor for CAD. Increased calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) mechanism has been associated to pathophysiological conditions presenting persistent vasoconstriction while increased store operated calcium (SOC) entry appears to activate proliferation and migration in coronary vascular smooth muscle (VSM). We analyze here whether metabolic syndrome might alter SOC entry as well as CICR mechanism in coronary arteries, contributing thus to a defective Ca2+ handling and therefore accelerating the progression of CAD. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Measurements of intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) and tension and of Ca2+ channels protein expression were performed in coronary arteries (CA) from lean Zucker rats (LZR) and obese Zucker rats (OZR). KEY RESULTS SOC entry stimulated by emptying sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ store with cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) was decreased and associated to decreased STIM-1 and Orai1 protein expression in OZR CA. Further, CICR mechanism was blunted in these arteries but Ca2+ entry through voltage-dependent L-type channels was preserved contributing to maintain depolarization-induced increases in [Ca2+]i and vasoconstriction in OZR CA. These results were associated to increased expression of voltage-operated L-type Ca2+ channel alpha 1C subunit (CaV1.2) but unaltered ryanodine receptor (RyR) and sarcoendoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) pump protein content in OZR CA. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS The present manuscript provides evidence of impaired Ca2+ handling mechanisms in coronary arteries in metabolic syndrome where a decrease in both SOC entry and CICR mechanism but preserved vasoconstriction are reported in coronary arteries from obese Zucker rats. Remarkably, OZR CA VSM at this state of metabolic syndrome seemed to have developed a compensation mechanism for impaired CICR by overexpressing CaV1.2 channels.

Abstract
In rats, spreading depolarization induces vasodilation/hyperemia in naïve tissue but the inverse response when artificial cerebrospinal fluid is topically applied to the brain containing (a) a nitric oxide-lowering agent and (b) elevated K+. The inverse response is characterized by severe vasoconstriction/ischemia. The perfusion deficit runs together with the depolarization in the tissue (=spreading ischemia). Here, we found in male Wistar rats that pre-treatment with artificial cerebrospinal fluid containing elevated K+ in vivo led to a selective decline in α2/α3 Na+/K+-ATPase activity, determined spectrophotometrically ex vivo. Moreover, spreading ischemia, recorded with laser-Doppler flowmetry and electrocorticography, resulted from artificial cerebrospinal fluid containing a nitric oxide-lowering agent in combination with the Na+/K+-ATPase inhibitor ouabain at a concentration selectively inhibiting α2/α3 activity. Decline in α2/α3 activity results in increased Ca2+ uptake by internal stores of astrocytes, vascular myocytes, and pericytes since Ca2+ outflux via plasmalemmal Na+/Ca2+-exchanger declines. Augmented Ca2+ mobilization from internal stores during spreading depolarization might enhance vasoconstriction, thus, contributing to spreading ischemia. Accordingly, spreading ischemia was significantly shortened when intracellular Ca2+ stores were emptied by pre-treatment with thapsigargin, an inhibitor of the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA). These findings might have relevance for clinical conditions, in which spreading ischemia occurs such as delayed cerebral ischemia after subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Abstract
Vascular tone of resistance arteries and arterioles determines peripheral vascular resistance, contributing to the regulation of blood pressure and blood flow to, and within the body's tissues and organs. Ion channels in the plasma membrane and endoplasmic reticulum of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in these blood vessels importantly contribute to the regulation of intracellular Ca2+ concentration, the primary determinant of SMC contractile activity and vascular tone. Ion channels provide the main source of activator Ca2+ that determines vascular tone, and strongly contribute to setting and regulating membrane potential, which, in turn, regulates the open-state-probability of voltage gated Ca2+ channels (VGCCs), the primary source of Ca2+ in resistance artery and arteriolar SMCs. Ion channel function is also modulated by vasoconstrictors and vasodilators, contributing to all aspects of the regulation of vascular tone. This review will focus on the physiology of VGCCs, voltage-gated K+ (KV) channels, large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (BKCa) channels, strong-inward-rectifier K+ (KIR) channels, ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channels, ryanodine receptors (RyRs), inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs), and a variety of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels that contribute to pressure-induced myogenic tone in resistance arteries and arterioles, the modulation of the function of these ion channels by vasoconstrictors and vasodilators, their role in the functional regulation of tissue blood flow and their dysfunction in diseases such as hypertension, obesity, and diabetes. © 2017 American Physiological Society.

Abstract
Intrarenal autoregulatory mechanisms maintain renal blood flow (RBF) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) independent of renal perfusion pressure (RPP) over a defined range (80-180 mmHg). Such autoregulation is mediated largely by the myogenic and the macula densa-tubuloglomerular feedback (MD-TGF) responses that regulate preglomerular vasomotor tone primarily of the afferent arteriole. Differences in response times allow separation of these mechanisms in the time and frequency domains. Mechanotransduction initiating the myogenic response requires a sensing mechanism activated by stretch of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and coupled to intracellular signaling pathways eliciting plasma membrane depolarization and a rise in cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)]i). Proposed mechanosensors include epithelial sodium channels (ENaC), integrins, and/or transient receptor potential (TRP) channels. Increased [Ca(2+)]i occurs predominantly by Ca(2+) influx through L-type voltage-operated Ca(2+) channels (VOCC). Increased [Ca(2+)]i activates inositol trisphosphate receptors (IP3R) and ryanodine receptors (RyR) to mobilize Ca(2+) from sarcoplasmic reticular stores. Myogenic vasoconstriction is sustained by increased Ca(2+) sensitivity, mediated by protein kinase C and Rho/Rho-kinase that favors a positive balance between myosin light-chain kinase and phosphatase. Increased RPP activates MD-TGF by transducing a signal of epithelial MD salt reabsorption to adjust afferent arteriolar vasoconstriction. A combination of vascular and tubular mechanisms, novel to the kidney, provides for high autoregulatory efficiency that maintains RBF and GFR, stabilizes sodium excretion, and buffers transmission of RPP to sensitive glomerular capillaries, thereby protecting against hypertensive barotrauma. A unique aspect of the myogenic response in the renal vasculature is modulation of its strength and speed by the MD-TGF and by a connecting tubule glomerular feedback (CT-GF) mechanism. Reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide are modulators of myogenic and MD-TGF mechanisms. Attenuated renal autoregulation contributes to renal damage in many, but not all, models of renal, diabetic, and hypertensive diseases. This review provides a summary of our current knowledge regarding underlying mechanisms enabling renal autoregulation in health and disease and methods used for its study.

Abstract
Antenatal steroid administration is associated with hypertension in adult life; however, the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are unclear. The aim of this study was to further characterize the effects of antenatal glucocorticoid exposure on the endothelin (ET-1) system, specifically to ascertain the role of the cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose (cADPR)/ryanodine receptor pathway in the increased sensitivity to ET-1 observed in the offspring exposed to antenatal glucocorticoids. Pregnant sheep were randomly treated with betamethasone (Beta; 0.17 mg/kg) or vehicle at 80 and 81 days of gestation. In adults, we studied endothelium-denuded arterial segments of the brachial arteries. ET-1-induced vasoconstriction was significantly higher in the arteries from Beta sheep (F=3.5, P<0.05). Inhibition of ADP-ribosyl cyclase with 2-2'-dihydroxy-azobenzene significantly decreased the ET-1-induced contraction in Beta but not in vehicle-treated sheep. Nicotinamide attenuated ET-1 contraction in both, but it was significantly more pronounced in the Beta-treated sheep. No significant differences were observed following KCl-induced (6.25-75 mM) contraction. Nicotinamide (10 mM) significantly attenuated the KCl-induced vasoconstriction in both groups. In KCl (62.5 mM)-constricted arteries, the effect of nicotinamide (NIC) was significantly greater in the vehicle-treated sheep (50% relaxation v. 40% relaxation; t=2.2, P<0.05). In contrast, the sodium nitroprusside (SNP) relaxation was not statistically different. An additive effect was observed when NIC and SNP were used in combination and it was also more pronounced in vehicle-treated sheep. We conclude that the increased response to ET-1 is mediated by activation of the CD38/cADPR signaling pathway. Further studies are required to identify the effectors downstream from cADPR affected by exposure to antenatal steroids.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) and Ca(2+) are two of the many intracellular signal transduction pathways mediating the control of growth hormone (GH) secretion from somatotropes by neuroendocrine factors. We have previously shown that the NO donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP) elicits Ca(2+) signals in identified goldfish somatotropes. In this study, we examined the relationships between NO- and Ca(2+)-dependent signal transduction mechanisms in GH secretion from primary cultures of dispersed goldfish pituitary cells. Morphologically identified goldfish somatotropes stained positively for an NO-sensitive dye indicating they may be a source of NO production. In 2h static incubation experiments, GH release responses to the NO donor S-nitroso-N-acetyl-d,l-penicillamine (SNAP) were attenuated by CoCl2, nifedipine, verapamil, TMB-8, BHQ, and KN62. In column perifusion experiments, the ability of SNP to induce GH release was impaired in the presence of TMB-8, BHQ, caffeine, and thapsigargin, but not ryanodine. Caffeine-elicited GH secretion was not affected by the NO scavenger PTIO. These results suggest that NO-stimulated GH release is dependent on extracellular Ca(2+) availability and voltage-sensitive Ca(2+) channels, as well as intracellular Ca(2+) store(s) that possess BHQ- and/or thapsigargin-inhibited sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPases, as well as TMB-8- and/or caffeine-sensitive, but not ryanodine-sensitive, Ca(2+)-release channels. Calmodulin kinase-II also likely participates in NO-elicited GH secretion but caffeine-induced GH release is not upstream of NO production. These findings provide insights into how NO actions many integrate with Ca(2+)-dependent signalling mechanisms in goldfish somatotropes and how such interactions may participate in the GH-releasing actions of regulators that utilize both NO- and Ca(2+)-dependent transduction pathways.

Abstract
Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP), two intracellular Ca2+ mobilizing second messengers, have been recognized as a fundamental signaling mechanism regulating a variety of cell or organ functions in different biological systems. Here we reviewed the literature regarding these ADP-ribosylcyclase products in vascular cells with a major focus on their production, physiological roles, and related underlying mechanisms mediating their actions. In particular, several hot topics in this area of research are comprehensively discussed, which may help understand some of the controversial evidence provided by different studies. For example, some new models are emerging for the agonist receptor coupling of CD38 or ADP-ribosylcyclase and for the formation of an acidic microenvironment to facilitate the production of NAADP in vascular cells. We also summarized the evidence regarding the NAADP-mediated two-phase Ca2+ release with a slow Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR) and corresponding physiological relevance. The possibility of a permanent structural space between lysosomes and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), as well as the critical role of lysosome trafficking in phase 2 Ca2+ release in response to some agonists are also explored. With respect to the molecular targets of NAADP within cells, several possible candidates including SR ryanodine receptors (RyRs), lysosomal transient receptor potential-mucolipin 1 (TRP-ML1) and two pore channels (TPCs) are presented with supporting and opposing evidence. Finally, the possible role of NAADP-mediated regulation of lysosome function in autophagy and atherogenesis is discussed, which may indicate a new direction for further studies on the pathological roles of cADPR and NAADP in the vascular system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Reduction of intracellular calcium ([Ca(2+)](i)) in smooth muscle cells (SMCs) is an important mechanism by which nitric oxide (NO) dilates blood vessels. We investigated whether modes of Ca(2+) mobilization during SMC contraction influenced NO efficacy. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Isometric contractions by depolarization (high potassium, K(+)) or alpha-adrenoceptor stimulation (phenylephrine), and relaxations by acetylcholine chloride (ACh), diethylamine NONOate (DEANO) and glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) and SMC [Ca(2+)](i) (Fura-2) were measured in aortic segments from C57Bl6 mice. KEY RESULTS Phenylephrine-constricted segments were more sensitive to endothelium-derived (ACh) or exogenous (DEANO, GTN) NO than segments contracted by high K(+) solutions. The greater sensitivity of phenylephrine-stimulated segments was independent of the amount of pre-contraction, the source of NO or the resting potential of SMCs. It coincided with a significant decrease of [Ca(2+)](i), which was suppressed by sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) ATPase (SERCA) inhibition, but not by soluble guanylyl cylase (sGC) inhibition. Relaxation of K(+)-stimulated segments did not parallel a decline of [Ca(2+)](i). However, stimulation (BAY K8644) of L-type Ca(2+) influx diminished, while inhibition (nifedipine, 1-100 nM) augmented the relaxing capacity of NO. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS In mouse aorta, NO induced relaxation via two pathways. One mechanism involved a non-cGMP-dependent stimulation of SERCA, causing Ca(2+) re-uptake into the SR and was prominent when intracellular Ca(2+) was mobilized. The other involved sGC-stimulated cGMP formation, causing relaxation without changing [Ca(2+)](i), presumably by desensitizing the contractile apparatus. This pathway seems related to L-type Ca(2+) influx, and L-type Ca(2+) channel blockers increase the vasodilator efficacy of NO.

Abstract
The effect of the NO donors cis-[RuCl(bpy)(2)(NO)](PF(6)) (RUNOCL) and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) on the cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](c)) was studied in cells isolated from the rat aorta smooth muscle of cells isolated from the rat aorta smooth muscle. SNP is a metal nitrosyl complex made up of iron, cyanide groups, and a nitro moiety; the RUNOCL complex is made up of ruthenium and bipyridine ligands, with chloride and nitrosyl groups in the ruthenium axial positions. Rat aorta smooth muscle cells were loaded with fluo-3 acetoxymethyl ester (Fluo-3 AM) and imaged by a confocal scanning laser microscope excited with the 488 nm line of the argon ion laser. Fluorescence emission was measured at 510 nm. One of the NO donors, RUNOCL (100 micromol/L) or SNP (100 micromol/L), was then added to the cell chamber and the fluorescent intensity percentage (%IF) was measured after 240 s. RUNOCL reduced the %IF to 60.0+/-10.0% of the initial value. After treatment with the soluble guanylyl cyclase inhibitor 1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazole[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ) (10 micromol/L), the measurement of %IF was 81.0+/-5.0% (n=4). In the presence of tetraethylammonium (TEA) (1 mmol/L) the %IF was 79.0+/-6.4% (n=4). A combination of ODQ and TEA increased the %IF to 97.0+/-3.5% (n=4). As for SNP, it reduced the %IF to 81.4+/-4.7% (n=4), but this effect was inhibited by ODQ (%IF 94.0+/-3.6%; n=4) and TEA (%IF 88.0+/-2.1%; n=4). The combination of ODQ and TEA increased (%IF 92.0+/-2.8%; n=4). Taken together, these results indicate that both the new NO donor RUNOCL and SNP reduce [Ca(2+)](c). Our data also give evidence that soluble guanylyl cyclase and K(+) channels sensitive to TEA are involved in the mechanisms responsible for the reduction in [Ca(2+)](c) of the rat aorta smooth muscle cells.

Abstract
Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) is a novel Ca(2+) mobilizing second messenger, which is capable of inducing Ca(2+) release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) via activation of ryanodine receptors (RyR) in vascular cells. This signaling nucleotide has also been reported to participate in generation or modulation of intracellular Ca(2+) sparks, Ca(2+) waves or oscillations, Ca(2+)- induced Ca(2+) release (CICR) and spontaneous transient outward currents (STOCs) in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). With respect to the role of cADPR-mediated signaling in mediation of vascular responses to different stimuli, there is accumulating evidence showing that cADPR is importantly involved in the Ca(2+) response of vascular endothelial cells (ECs) and VSMCs to various chemical factors such as vasoactive agonists acetylcholine, oxotremorine, endothelin, and physical stimuli such as stretch, electrical depolarization and sheer stress. This cADPR-RyR-mediated Ca(2+) signaling is now recognized as a fundamental mechanism regulating vascular function. Here we reviewed the literature regarding this cADPR signaling pathway in vascular cells with a major focus on the production of cADPR and its physiological roles in the control of vascular tone and vasomotor response. We also summarized some publish results that unveil the underlying mechanisms mediating the actions of cADPR in vascular cells. Given the importance of Ca(2+) in the regulation of vascular function, the results summarized in this brief review will provide new insights into vascular physiology and circulatory regulation.

Recent studies in our lab and by others have indicated that cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) as a novel second messenger is importantly involved in vasomotor response in various vascular beds. However, the mechanism regulating cADPR production and actions remains poorly understood. The present study determined whether changes in redox status influence the production and action of cADPR in coronary arterial smooth muscle cells (CASMCs) and thereby alters vascular tone in these arteries. HPLC analyses demonstrated that xanthine (X, 40 microM)/xanthine oxidase (XO, 0.1 U/ml), a superoxide-generating system, increased the ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity by 59% in freshly isolated bovine CASMCs. However, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2, 1-100 microM) had no significant effect on ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity. In these CASMCs, X/XO produced a rapid increase in [Ca2+]i (Delta[Ca2+]i=201 nM), which was significantly attenuated by a cADPR antagonist, 8-Br-cADPR. Both inhibition of cADPR production by nicotinamide (Nicot) and blockade of Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR) by tetracaine (TC) and ryanodine (Rya) significantly reduced X/XO-induced rapid Ca2+ responses. In isolated, perfused, and pressurized small bovine coronary arteries, X at 2.5-80 microM with a fixed XO level produced a concentration-dependent vasoconstriction with a maximal decrease in arterial diameter of 45%. This X/XO-induced vasoconstriction was significantly attenuated by 8-Br-cADPR, Nicot, TC, or Rya. We conclude that superoxide activates cADPR production, and thereby mobilizes intracellular Ca2+ from the SR and produces vasoconstriction in coronary arteries.

Abstract
This commentary presents the proceedings of the symposium sponsored by Cardiovascular Section of American Physiological Society in San Diego, CA on 12 April 2003. The major focus of this symposium was on the actions and physiological relevance of several novel Ca2+ signalling mechanisms in vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cells. Five important topics were presented in this symposium including the discovery and roles of cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) in mediating Ca2+ release, Ca2+ sparks and activation of plasma membrane KCa channels in VSM cells, the role of cADPR-mediated activation of ryanodine receptors in the control of vascular tone, the role of [Ca2+]i in mechanotransduction in the arterioles, and interactions of mitochondrial Ca2+ release and SR Ca2+ mobilization. The purpose of this symposium was to promote discussions and exchange of ideas between scientists with interests in Ca2+ signalling mechanisms and those with interests in vascular physiology and pharmacology. The cross-fertilization of ideas is expected to greatly advance our understanding of the physiological and pharmacological relevance of these new Ca2+ signalling mechanisms.

Abstract
Ryanodine receptors (RyR) play an important role in the regulation of intracellular Ca(2+) concentration and in the control of vascular tone. However, the mechanism regulating the activity of RyR is poorly understood. The present study determined whether protein methylation participates in the control of RyR activity. Using a planar lipid bilayer clamping system, S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM), a methyl donor, significantly increased the activity of a 245-pS reconstituted Ca(2+) release channel from coronary arterial smooth muscle (CASM) in a concentration-dependent manner. Addition of the protein methylation blockers, 3-deazaadenosine, S-adenosylhomocysteine or sinefungin into the cis solution markedly attenuated SAM-induced activation of RyR/Ca(2+) release channels. By Western blot analysis, arginine N-methyltransferase (PRMT1) and FK506 binding protein (FKBP) were detected in the SR used for reconstitution of RyR. In the presence of anti-PRMT1 antibody (1:100), SAM-induced activation of RyR/Ca(2+) channel was completely abolished. In addition, this SAM-induced increase in RyR/Ca(2+) channel activity was blocked by 30 microM ryanodine and by FK506 (100 microM), a ligand for the RyR accessory protein. These results suggest that protein methylation activates RyR/Ca(2+) release channels and may participate in the control of intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization in CASM cells by transferring a methyl group to the arginine moiety of the RyR accessory protein, FKBP 12.
