An Autophagy Modifier Screen Identifies Small Molecules Capable of Reducing Autophagosome Accumulation in a Model of CLN3-Mediated Neurodegeneration. Cells 2019; 8:cells8121531.

Abstract
Alterations in the autophagosomal–lysosomal pathway are a major pathophysiological feature of CLN3 disease, which is the most common form of childhood-onset neurodegeneration. Accumulating autofluorescent lysosomal storage material in CLN3 disease, consisting of dolichols, lipids, biometals, and a protein that normally resides in the mitochondria, subunit c of the mitochondrial ATPase, provides evidence that autophagosomal–lysosomal turnover of cellular components is disrupted upon loss of CLN3 protein function. Using a murine neuronal cell model of the disease, which accurately mimics the major gene defect and the hallmark features of CLN3 disease, we conducted an unbiased search for modifiers of autophagy, extending previous work by further optimizing a GFP-LC3 based assay and performing a high-content screen on a library of ~2000 bioactive compounds. Here we corroborate our earlier screening results and identify expanded, independent sets of autophagy modifiers that increase or decrease the accumulation of autophagosomes in the CLN3 disease cells, highlighting several pathways of interest, including the regulation of calcium signaling, microtubule dynamics, and the mevalonate pathway. Follow-up analysis on fluspirilene, nicardipine, and verapamil, in particular, confirmed activity in reducing GFP-LC3 vesicle burden, while also demonstrating activity in normalizing lysosomal positioning and, for verapamil, in promoting storage material clearance in CLN3 disease neuronal cells. This study demonstrates the potential for cell-based screening studies to identify candidate molecules and pathways for further work to understand CLN3 disease pathogenesis and in drug development efforts.

Abstract
Econazole is an antifungal drug with different in vitro effects. However, econazole's effect on osteoblast like cells is unknown. In human MG63 osteosarcoma cells, the effect of econazole on intracellular Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]i) was explored by using fura-2. At a concentration of 0.1 μM, econazole started to cause a rise in [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner. Econazole-induced [Ca2+]i rise was reduced by 74% by removal of extracellular Ca2+. The econazole-induced Ca2+ influx was mediated via a nimodipine-sensitive pathway. In Ca2+ free medium, thapsigargin, an inhibitor of the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase, caused a [Ca2+]i rise, after which the increasing effect of econazole on [Ca2+]i was abolished. Pretreatment of cells with econazole to deplete Ca2+ stores totally prevented thapsigargin from releasing Ca2+. U73122, an inhibitor of phospholipase C, abolished histamine (an inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate dependent Ca2+ mobilizer)-induced, but not econazoleinduced, [Ca2+]i rise. Econazole inhibited 76% of thapsigargin-induced store-operated Ca2+ entry. These findings suggest that in MG63 osteosarcoma cells, econazole increases [Ca2+]i by stimulating Ca2+ influx and Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum via a phospholipase C-independent manner. In contrast, econazole acts as a potent blocker of store-operated Ca2+ entry.

Abstract
Elevations in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration are the usual initial response of endothelial cells to hormonal and chemical transmitters and to changes in physical parameters, and many endothelial functions are dependent upon changes in Ca2+ signals produced. Endothelial cell Ca2+ signalling shares similar features with other electrically non-excitable cell types, but has features unique to endothelial cells. This chapter discusses the major components of endothelial cell Ca2+ signalling.

Abstract
We previously demonstrated that endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF)-mediated dilations in cerebral arteries are significantly reduced by inhibitors of PLA(2). In this study we examined possible mechanisms by which PLA(2) regulates endothelium-dependent dilation, specifically whether PLA(2) is involved in endothelial Ca(2+) regulation through stimulation of TRPV4 channels. Studies were carried out with middle cerebral arteries (MCA) or freshly isolated MCA endothelial cells (EC) of male Long-Evans rats. Nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME) and indomethacin were present throughout. In pressurized MCA, luminally delivered UTP produced increased EC intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) and MCA dilation. Incubation with PACOCF(3), a PLA(2) inhibitor, significantly reduced both EC [Ca(2+)](i) and dilation responses to UTP. EC [Ca(2+)](i) was also partially reduced by a transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) channel blocker, ruthenium red. Manganese quenching experiments demonstrated Ca(2+) influx across the luminal and abluminal face of the endothelium in response to UTP. Interestingly, PLA(2)-sensitive Ca(2+) influx occurred primarily across the abluminal face. Luminal application of arachidonic acid, the primary product of PLA(2) and a demonstrated activator of certain TRPV channels, increased both EC [Ca(2+)](i) and MCA diameter. TRPV4 mRNA and protein was demonstrated in the endothelium by RT-PCR and immunofluorescence, respectively. Finally, application of 4alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate (4alphaPDD), a TRPV4 channel activator, produced an increase in EC [Ca(2+)](i) that was significantly reduced in the presence of ruthenium red. We conclude that PLA(2) is involved in EC Ca(2+) regulation through its regulation of TRPV4 channels. Furthermore, the PLA(2)-sensitive component of Ca(2+) influx may be polarized to the abluminal face of the endothelium.

Abstract
Defects in mitochondrial function have been shown to participate in the induction of neuronal cell injury. The effect of econazole against the cytotoxicity of 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP(+)) in differentiated PC12 cells was assessed in relation to the mitochondrial membrane permeability changes. Treatment of PC12 cells with MPP(+) resulted in the nuclear damage, decrease in the mitochondrial transmembrane potential, cytosolic accumulation of cytochrome c, activation of caspase-3, increase in the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and depletion of GSH. Econazole (0.25-2.5 microM) inhibited the cytotoxicity of MPP(+) or rotenone. The addition of econazole (0.5 microM) significantly attenuated the MPP(+)-induced mitochondrial damage, elevation of intracellular Ca(2+) level and cell death. However, because of the cytotoxicity, econazole at 5 microM did not attenuate the toxicity of MPP(+). The results show that econazole at the low concentrations may reduce the MPP(+)-induced viability loss in PC12 cells by suppressing the mitochondrial permeability transition, leading to activation of caspase-3 and the elevation of intracellular Ca(2+) levels, which are associated with the increased formation of ROS and depletion of GSH.

Abstract
Vascular endothelial cells respond to extracellular ATP by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-mediated Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum followed by Ca2+ influx and subsequent synthesis of vasodilators. In this study, the contribution of mitochondria in shaping the ATP-induced Ca2+ increase was examined in ovine uterine artery endothelial cells from nonpregnant and pregnant (late gestation) ewes (NP- and P-UAEC, passage 4). The mitochondrial protonophore carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) induced a rapid mitochondrial depolarization. CCCP also slowly increased cytosolic [Ca2+] ([Ca2+]c), which then gradually declined to 10-20 nM above resting level. Pretreatment with CCCP for 30 min significantly inhibited both ATP and thapsigargin-induced [Ca2+]c, with inhibition in NP-UAEC more effective than in P-UAEC. Pretreatment of mitochondrial permeability transition pore inhibitor cyclosporine A did not affect CCCP-induced mitochondrial depolarization, but delayed CCCP-induced [Ca2+]c for about 12-15 min (we termed this the "window of time"). During the cyclosporine A-delayed window of time of CCCP-induced [Ca2+]c, ATP induced a normal Ca2+ response, but after this window of time, ATP-induced [Ca2+]c was significantly inhibited. Pretreatment of oligomycin B to prevent intracellular ATP depletion by F0F1-ATPase did not reduce the inhibition of ATP-induced [Ca2+]c by CCCP. Ruthenium red, a mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake blocker, did not mimic the inhibition of Ca2+ signaling by CCCP. In conclusion, our data show that mitochondrial Ca2+ depletion after dissipation of mitochondrial membrane potential with CCCP inhibits ATP-induced [Ca2+]c, mediated at the level of Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum. Moreover, our data revealed that P-UAEC is more resistant to the inhibitory effect of CCCP on [Ca2+]c than NP-UAEC.

Abstract
The effect of miconazole, an anti-fungal drug, on cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]i) in human osteosarcoma cells (MG63) was explored by using the Ca2+-sensitive dye fura-2. Miconazole acted in a concentration-dependent manner with an EC50 of 75 microM. The Ca2+ signal comprised a gradual rise and a sustained elevation. Removal of extracellular Ca2+ reduced 50% of the signal. In Ca2+-free medium, the [Ca2+]i rise induced by 1 microM thapsigargin (an endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitor) was completely inhibited by pretreatment with 20 microM miconazole. Pretreatment with thapsigargin partly inhibited miconazole-induced Ca2+ release. The miconazole-induced Ca2+ release was not changed by inhibition of phospholipase C with 2 microM U73122. By using tetrazolium as a fluorescent probe, it was shown that 10-100 microM miconazole decreased cell proliferation rate in a concentration-dependent manner. Collectively, this study shows that miconazole induces [Ca2+]i rises in human osteosarcoma cells via releasing Ca2+ mainly from the endoplasmic reticulum in a manner independent of phospholipase C activity, and by causing Ca2+ influx. Furthermore, miconazole may be cytotoxic to the cells at higher concentrations.
