Abstract
Disruption of the sarcolemmal membrane is a defining feature of oncotic death in cardiac ischaemia-reperfusion (I-R), and its molecular makeup not only fundamentally governs this process but also affects multiple determinants of both myocardial I-R injury and responsiveness to cardioprotective stimuli. Beyond the influences of membrane lipids on the cytoprotective (and death) receptors intimately embedded within this bilayer, myocardial ionic homeostasis, substrate metabolism, intercellular communication and electrical conduction are all sensitive to sarcolemmal makeup, and critical to outcomes from I-R. As will be outlined in this review, these crucial sarcolemmal dependencies may underlie not only the negative effects of age and common co-morbidities on myocardial ischaemic tolerance but also the on-going challenge of implementing efficacious cardioprotection in patients suffering accidental or surgically induced I-R. We review evidence for the involvement of sarcolemmal makeup changes in the impairment of stress-resistance and cardioprotection observed with ageing and highly prevalent co-morbid conditions including diabetes and hypercholesterolaemia. A greater understanding of membrane changes with age/disease, and the inter-dependences of ischaemic tolerance and cardioprotection on sarcolemmal makeup, can facilitate the development of strategies to preserve membrane integrity and cell viability, and advance the challenging goal of implementing efficacious 'cardioprotection' in clinically relevant patient cohorts.

Abstract
Lateral diffusion of membrane-integral receptors within the plane of the membrane has been postulated to be mechanistically important for signal transduction. Direct measurement of polypeptide hormone receptor lateral mobility using fluorescence photobleaching recovery techniques indicates that tyrosine kinase receptors are largely immobile at physiological temperatures. This is presumably due to their signal transduction mechanism which requires intermolecular autophosphorylation through receptor dimerization and thus immobilization for activation. In contrast, G-protein coupled receptors must interact with other membrane components to effect signal transduction, and consistent with this, the phospholipase C-activating vasopressin V1- and adenylate cyclase activating V2-receptors are highly laterally mobile at 37°C. Modulation of the V2-receptor mobile fraction (f) has demonstrated a direct correlation between f and receptor-agonist-dependent maximal cAMP productionin vivo at 37°C. This indicates that f is a key parameter in hormone signal transduction especially at physiological hormone concentrations, consistent with mobile receptors being required to effect V2-agonist-dependent activation of G-proteins. Measurements using a V2-specific antagonist show that antagonist-occupied receptors are highly mobile at 37°C, indicating that receptor immobilization is not the basis of antagonism. In contrast to agonist-occupied receptor however, antagonistoccupied receptors are not immobilized prior to endocytosis and down-regulation. Receptors may thus be freely mobile in the absence of agonistic ligand; stimulation by hormone agonist results in receptor association with other proteins, probably including cytoskeletal components, and immobilization. Receptor immobilization may be one of the important steps of desensitization subsequent to agonistic stimulation, through terminating receptor lateral movement which is instrumental in generating and amplifying the initial stimulatory signal within the plane of the membrane.

The detection of the non-M2 muscarinic receptor subtype in the rat heart atria and ventricles. Naunyn Schmiedebergs Arch Pharmacol 2008; 378:103-16.

Abstract
Mammal heart tissue has long been assumed to be the exclusive domain of the M(2) subtype of muscarinic receptor, but data supporting the presence of other subtypes also exist. We have tested the hypothesis that muscarinic receptors other than the M(2) subtype are present in the heart as minor populations. We used several approaches: a set of competition binding experiments with pirenzepine, AFDX-116, 4-DAMP, PD 102807, p-F-HHSiD, AQ-RA 741, DAU 5884, methoctramine and tripinamide, blockage of M(1) muscarinic receptors using MT7 toxin, subtype-specific immunoprecipitation experiments and determination of phospholipase C activity. We also attempted to block M(1)-M(4) receptors using co-treatment with MT7 and AQ-RA 741. Our results show that only the M(2) subtype is present in the atria. In the ventricles, however, we were able to determine that 20% (on average) of the muscarinic receptors were subtypes other than M(2), with the majority of these belonging to the M(1) subtype. We were also able to detect a marginal fraction (6 +/- 2%) of receptors that, based on other findings, belong mainly to the M(5) muscarinic receptors. Co-treatment with MT7 and AQ-RA 741 was not a suitable tool for blocking of M(1)-M(4) receptors and can not therefore be used as a method for M(5) muscarinic receptor detection in substitution to crude venom. These results provide further evidence of the expression of the M(1) muscarinic receptor subtype in the rat heart and also show that the heart contains at least one other, albeit minor, muscarinic receptor population, which most likely belongs to the M(5) muscarinic receptors but not to that of the M(3) receptors.

Abstract
Survival or death of neurons during development is mediated by the integration of a diverse array of signal transduction cascades that are controlled by the availability and acquisition of neurotrophic factors and agonists acting at G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Recent studies have demonstrated that GPCRs can modulate signals elicited by receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) and vice versa. Here, we examined the activity of pro-survival Akt kinase, in response to stimulation by muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) and co-activation with the nerve growth factor (NGF) receptor in PC12 cells endogenously expressing Gi-coupled M4 mAChR and Gq-coupled M1 and M5 mAChRs. Western blotting analysis using a phosphospecific anti-Akt antibody revealed a dose- and time-dependent increase in Akt phosphorylation in cells stimulated with mAChR specific agonist carbachol (CCh). Co-stimulation with CCh and NGF resulted in augmentation of Akt activity in a pertussis toxin (PTX)-sensitive manner, suggesting that M4 mAChR, but not M1 and M5 mAChRs, was associated with this synergistic Akt activation. The use of transducin as a Gbetagamma scavenger indicated that Gbetagamma subunits rather than Galphai/o acted as the signal transducer. Additional experiments showed that CCh treatment augmented NGF-induced phosphorylation and degradation of the Akt-regulated translation regulator tuberin. This augmentation was also inhibited by PTX pre-treatment or overexpression of transducin. Finally, co-stimulation of PC12 cells with CCh and NGF resulted in enhancement of cell survival. This is the first study that demonstrates the augmentation effect between M4 mAChR and NGF receptor, and the regulatory role of mAChR on tuberin.

Abstract
We have examined the effects in vitro of calcitriol [1,25(OH)2D3], the hormonal form of vitamin D3, on the breakdown of membrane phosphoinositides in skeletal muscle from young (3 months) and aged (24 months) rats. Calcitriol (10(-9) M) induced a rapid and transient release of IP3/inositol phosphates and diacylglycerol (DAG) from muscle slices/membranes prelabeled with [3H]myo-inositol and [3H]arachidonate, respectively. Inositol phosphate release was maximal at 15 s and then declined. The effects of hormone specificity exhibited as the closely related derivatives of vitamin D3, 25OHD3, 1alphaOHD3 and 24,25(OH)2D3 did not alter muscle inositol phosphate levels. The stimulation of DAG was biphasic, the early phase (15 s) being abolished by neomycin (0.5 mM), an inhibitor of phosphoinositide hydrolysis, similar to IP3 formation and consistent with a role of phospholipase C (PLC) in intracellular signal generation. Neomycin had no effect on the second DAG peak (2 min) induced by calcitriol, suggesting that the late phase of DAG formation is independent from the hydrolysis of phosphoinositides. Higher basal inositol phosphate and DAG levels were detected in muscle from aged rats thereby reducing the effects of the hormone on second messenger generation ( -80 and -60% for IP3 and DAG, respectively). Calcitriol stimulation of PLC was mimicked, in both young and old rats, by GTPgammaS, a non-hydrolyzable analogue of GTP, while GDPbetaS, a G protein inhibitor, suppressed the effect of the hormone. The early effects of calcitriol and GTPgammaS were not additive. Bordetella pertussis toxin abolished by 85% the effects of calcitriol on inositol phosphate release in young rats but was without effect in aged animals. These results demonstrate that calcitriol activates phosphoinositide-PLC in rat skeletal muscle by a mechanism which involves a pertussis-sensitive G protein and that the effects of the hormone are altered with ageing.

Abstract
Cells have evolved elaborate strategies for sensing, responding to, and interacting with their environment. In many systems, interaction of cell surface receptors with extracellular ligand can activate cellular signal transduction pathways leading to G-protein activation and calcium mobilization. In BC3H1 smooth muscle-like cells, we find that the speed of calcium mobilization as well as the fraction of cells which mobilize calcium following phenylephrine stimulation is dependent upon receptor occupation. To determine whether receptor inactivation affects calcium mobilization, we use the receptor antagonist prazosin to block a fraction of cell surface receptors prior to phenylephrine stimulation. For cases of equal receptor occupation by agonist, cells with inactivated or blocked receptors show diminished calcium mobilization following phenylephrine stimulation as compared to cells without inactivated receptors. Ligand/receptor binding and two-dimensional diffusion of receptors and G-proteins in the cell membrane are studied using a Monte Carlo model. The model is used to determine if receptor inactivation affects G-protein activation and thus the following signaling events for cases of equal equilibrium receptor occupation by agonist. The model predicts that receptor inactivation by antagonist binding results in lower G-protein activation not only by reducing the number of receptors able to bind agonist but also by restricting the movement of agonist among free receptors. The latter process is important to increasing the access of bound receptors to G-proteins.

Abstract
To link quantitatively the cell surface binding of ligand to receptor with the production of cellular responses, it may be necessary to explore early events in signal transduction such as G-protein activation. Two different model frameworks relating receptor/ligand binding to G-protein activation are examined. In the first framework, a simple ordinary differential equation model is used to describe receptor/ligand binding and G-protein activation. In the second framework, the events leading to G-protein activation are simulated using a dynamic Monte Carlo model. In both models, reactions between ligand-bound receptors and G-proteins are assumed to be diffusion-limited. The Monte Carlo model predicts two regimes of G-protein activation, depending upon whether the lifetime of a receptor/ligand complex is long or short compared with the time needed for diffusional encounters of complexes and G-proteins. When the lifetime of a complex is relatively short compared with the diffusion time, the movement of ligand among free receptors by binding and unbinding ("switching") significantly enhances G-protein activation. Receptor antagonists dramatically reduce G-protein activation and, thus, signal transduction in this case, and significant clustering of active G-proteins near receptor/ligand complexes results. The simple ordinary differential equation model poorly predicts G-protein activation for this situation. In the alternative case, when diffusion is relatively fast, ligand movement among receptors is less important and the simple ordinary differential equation model and Monte Carlo model results are similar. In this case, there is little clustering of active G-proteins near receptor/ligand complexes. Results also indicate that as the GTPase activity of the alpha-subunit decreases, the steady-state level of alpha-GTP increases, although temporal sensitivity is compromised.

Abstract
Neurotransmission and transmembrane signaling are among the cellular mechanisms affected in the aging nervous system. In the inner ear, the phosphoinositide second messenger cascade is of particular interest as a target of the aging process. In both the cochlear (CSE) and vestibular sensory epithelia (VSE), the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdInsP2) to the second messenger inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) is coupled to muscarinic cholinergic and P2y purinergic receptors and may be linked to calcium homeostasis. The present study compared the turnover of phosphoinositides (PtdInsPs), receptor-mediated release of inositol phosphates (InsPs), and concentrations of endogenous myo-inositol in the CSE and VSE of young (3 months) and aged (24 months) Fischer-344 rats. In the aged rat, there was a significant increase in [3H]inositol incorporation (per mass of protein) into PtdInsPs plus InsPs in both sensory epithelia while the protein content remained unchanged. In contrast, no age-dependent differences were found when pre-labeled [3H]PtdInsPs were 'chased' with non-radiolabeled myo-inositol indicating that the turnover of these lipids was unaffected. The cholinergic receptor agonist carbamylcholine and the P2 purinergic receptor agonist adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) stimulated the release of [3H]InsPs two- to six-fold in both organs. This agonist-stimulated release of [3H]InsPs (per mass of protein) was significantly higher in aged animals. However, when the same stimulation was expressed as per cent of control values, there was no age-dependent difference.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Recent application of the technique of fluorescence photobleaching recovery to direct measurement of the lateral mobility of plasma membrane-localized hormone receptors has shed new light on the role of receptor lateral mobility in signal transduction. Receptors for insulin and EGF have been known for some time to be largely immobile at physiological temperatures. This presumably relates to their signal transduction mechanism, which appears to require intermolecular autophosphorylation (receptor aggregation) for activation. In contrast, G-protein coupled receptors must interact with other membrane components to bring about signal transduction, and it is interesting in this regard that the adenylate cyclase (AC) activating vasopressin V2-receptor is highly laterally mobile at 37 degrees C. It has recently been possible to reversibly modulate the V2-receptor mobile fraction (f) to largely varying extents, and to demonstrate thereby a direct effect on the maximal rate of in vivo cAMP production at 37 degrees C in response to vasopressin. A direct correlation between f and maximal cAMP production indicates that f may be a key parameter in hormone signal transduction in vivo, especially at sub-KD (physiological) hormone concentrations, with mobile receptors being required to effect G-protein activation.

Abstract
Rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells stably expressing cloned m1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (PC12M1) undergo morphological changes when stimulated by muscarinic agonists. These changes, which include the outgrowth of neurite-like processes, are blocked by the muscarinic antagonist atropine and are not observed in PC12 cells. The observed morphological changes, which are independent of RNA and protein synthesis, are blocked by the methylation inhibitor 5'-deoxy-5'-methylthioadenosine, suggesting that methylation plays a role in this process. Analysis of cyclic AMP accumulation and phosphoinositide turnover reveals that both processes are enhanced on activation by muscarinic agonist. Our data suggest, however, that the muscarinic-dependent neurite-like outgrowth processes are not mediated by cyclic AMP, Ca2+, or protein kinase C pathways. The muscarinic-dependent neurite outgrowth effect is enhanced by nerve growth factor, with a resulting increase in both the number of neurite-extending cells and the length of the neurite. In addition, activation of muscarinic receptors in PC12M1 cells stimulates the induction of marker genes for neuronal differentiation. Muscarinic receptors may therefore mediate growth factor-like effects in these cells.

Abstract
Possible alterations in muscarinic cholinergic (mACh) signal transduction in senescence were studied in rat neostriata. Acetylcholine (ACh) activation of striatal muscarinic heteroreceptors by carbachol or oxotremorine enhances K(+)-evoked release of dopamine from perifused striata of 6- but not 24-month-old rats. Present experiments determined the effects of simultaneous activation or activation/inhibition of more than one second messenger on K(+)-evoked release of DA from perifused striatal slices from these age groups. Combinations of carbachol (500 microns), which stimulates inositol-1,4,5-bisphosphate (IP3) production and inhibits cyclic AMP production, with oxotremorine (500 microns), which inhibits cyclic AMP production, in the presence of 30 mM KCl (in a modified Krebs-Ringer medium) reduced the age-related reduction in mAChR enhancement of DA release (analyzed by HPLC coupled to electrochemical detection; 5 min fractions were collected on ice in perchloric acid; flow rate 120 microliters/min). Combinations of these agonists with the putative second messenger arachidonic acid (10 microM), also enhanced K(+)-evoked release of DA in the striatal tissue from the 24-month group. IP3 activation was lower in the striatal tissue from old animals than those from young under all conditions, but cross-activation/inhibition actually may have lowered the IP3 threshold necessary for enhanced DA release to occur. In a subsequent experiment, pre-loading striatal tissue from young animals with either carbachol or oxotremorine under basal release conditions reduced the responding when the basal release medium was switched to one containing 30 mM KCl and combinations of the agonists.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The induction of phosphoinositide hydrolysis (PI) by endothelin/sarafotoxin (ET/SRTX) receptors in rat heart myocytes was investigated by the use of bacterial toxins as well as a phorbol ester. Both pertussis- and choleratoxin enhanced the stimulation of PI hydrolysis. Phorbol ester treatment of the myocytes for short periods distinguished between two types of PI-hydrolysis, the one induced by endothelins and the other by sarafotoxins. The possible mediation of G-protein (s) in the induction by ET/SRTX receptors of PI-hydrolysis is discussed.

Abstract
Aging of rat heart myocytes in culture is accompanied by approximately 50% reduction in endothelin (ET)/sarafotoxin (SRTX) receptor-binding capacity as well as in the induction of phosphoinositide (PI) hydrolysis. Treatment of aged cultures under conditions yielding myocytes with a lipid composition similar to that in young cultures restored all the ET/SRTX receptors; at the same time it re-established only the endothelin-induced but not the sarafotoxin-induced PI-hydrolysis response. Thus more than one mechanism may stimulate PI metabolism.
