Abstract
With the development of society, physical activity has come to be an effective means by which people pursue good health to improve the quality of life. However, with the increase of intensity and the passage of time, exercise injury has become a hazard that can no longer be ignored. It is imperative to find effective ways to inhibit or reduce the negative effects of exercise. Mitochondria are important organelles involved in exercise and play an important role in exercise injury and prevention. Studies have found that exercise preconditioning and increased mitochondrial nutrition can effectively decrease mitochondrial damage after exercise. Against this background, some of the newest developments in this important field are reviewed here. The results discussed indicate that exercise preconditioning and supplement mitochondrial nutrition need to be increased to prevent exercise-related injuries.

Abstract
In contrast to the booming production and application of nanomaterials, research on the toxicological impacts and possible hazards of nanoparticles to tissues and organs is still in its infancy. Golgi apparatus is one of the most important organelles in cells and plays a key role in intracellular protein processing. The structural integrity of Golgi is vital for its normal function, and Golgi disturbance could result in a wide range of diseases and disorders. In this study, for the first time we found gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) induced size-dependent cytoplasmic calcium increase and Golgi fragmentation, which hampers normal Golgi functions, leads to abnormal protein processing, and causes cellular adhesion decrease, while cell viability was not significantly compromised. Additionally, early renal pathological changes were induced in vivo. This work is significant to nanoparticle research because it illustrates the important role of size on Au NP-induced changes in Golgi morphology and their consequences in vitro and in vivo, which has important implications for the biological applications of nanomaterials.

Abstract
Store-operated Ca(2+) channels (SOCs) are voltage-independent Ca(2+) channels activated upon depletion of the endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) stores. Early studies suggest the contribution of such channels to Ca(2+) homeostasis in insulin-secreting pancreatic β-cells. However, their composition and contribution to glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) remains unclear. In this study, endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) depletion triggered by acetylcholine (ACh) or thapsigargin stimulated the formation of a ternary complex composed of Orai1, TRPC1, and STIM1, the key proteins involved in the formation of SOCs. Ca(2+) imaging further revealed that Orai1 and TRPC1 are required to form functional SOCs and that these channels are activated by STIM1 in response to thapsigargin or ACh. Pharmacological SOCs inhibition or dominant negative blockade of Orai1 or TRPC1 using the specific pore mutants Orai1-E106D and TRPC1-F562A impaired GSIS in rat β-cells and fully blocked the potentiating effect of ACh on secretion. In contrast, pharmacological or dominant negative blockade of TRPC3 had no effect on extracellular Ca(2+) entry and GSIS. Finally, we observed that prolonged exposure to supraphysiological glucose concentration impaired SOCs function without altering the expression levels of STIM1, Orai1, and TRPC1. We conclude that Orai1 and TRPC1, which form SOCs regulated by STIM1, play a key role in the effect of ACh on GSIS, a process that may be impaired in type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Dental enamel formation is an intricate process tightly regulated by ameloblast cells. The correct spatiotemporal patterning of enamel matrix protein (EMP) expression is fundamental to orchestrate the formation of enamel crystals, which depend on a robust supply of Ca2+. In the extracellular milieu, Ca2+ -EMP interactions occur at different levels. Despite its recognized role in enamel development, the molecular machinery involved in Ca2+ homeostasis in ameloblasts remains poorly understood. A common mechanism for Ca2+ influx is store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE). We evaluated the possibility that Ca2+ influx in enamel cells might be mediated by SOCE and the Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channel, the prototypical SOCE channel. Using ameloblast-like LS8 cells, we demonstrate that these cells express Ca2+ -handling molecules and mediate Ca2+ influx through SOCE. As a rise in the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration is a versatile signal that can modulate gene expression, we assessed whether SOCE in enamel cells had any effect on the expression of EMPs. Our results demonstrate that stimulating LS8 cells or murine primary enamel organ cells with thapsigargin to activate SOCE leads to increased expression of Amelx, Ambn, Enam, Mmp20. This effect is reversed when cells are treated with a CRAC channel inhibitor. These data indicate that Ca2+ influx in LS8 cells and enamel organ cells is mediated by CRAC channels and that Ca2+ signals enhance the expression of EMPs. Ca2+ plays an important role not only in mineralizing dental enamel but also in regulating the expression of EMPs.

Abstract
Intracellular pH is a modulator of cellular functions such as smooth muscle contraction. Changes in cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](c)) associated with contraction are brought about by Ca(2+) influx and release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, and alterations in the intracellular pH can affect both processes. In this work, therefore, we have investigated the Ca(2+) influx pathway that contributes to the contraction induced by the alkalinizing agent NH(4)Cl in the rat anococcygeus smooth muscle. For this purpose, we measured the isometric tension in muscle preparations, and [Ca(2+)](c) was measured on isolated cells loaded with 5 micromol/l FURA2/AM by using the ratio 340/380 nm. NH(4)Cl (10 mmol/l) induced a larger increase in [Ca(2+)](c) (100%) when compared with the [Ca(2+)](c) increase induced by 0.1 micromol/l phenylephrine (57.0+/-12.3% n=4). Incubation of the muscle preparations for 1 min in Ca(2+)-free medium reduced the contractions induced by 10 mmol/l NH(4)Cl to 11.5+/-5.1% (n=5), when compared with the contractions induced in 2.5 mmol/l Ca(2+) solution (100%). After 3 min in Ca(2+) free medium, contractions stimulated with NH(4)Cl were almost abolished (0.6+/-0.4%, n=5). In the same way, incubation with 10 micromol/l 1-[beta-[3[(4-methoxyphenyl)propoxyl]-4-methoxy-phenetyl]-1H-imidazole hydrochloride (SKF96365), a non-selective Ca(2+) channels, reduced the contractions stimulated with NH(4)Cl to 47.6+/-6.7% (n=7). On the other hand, 1 micromol/l verapamil, a voltage-operated Ca(2+) channel blocker and 0.05 micromol/l calphostin C, a protein kinase-C inhibitor, did not alter the contractions induced by NH(4)Cl. On isolated cells, [Ca(2+)](c) was reduced to 72.2+/-1.7% (n=4) by 10 micromol/l SKF96365. Taken together, our results suggest that NH(4)Cl induces contraction of rat anococcygeus smooth muscle cells, as well as [Ca(2+)](c) increase due to Ca(2+) influx through non-selective Ca(2+) channels.

Abstract
Many membrane-bound neurotransmitter receptors are known to be internalized by exposure to agonist. This agonist-induced receptor internalization is considered to play important roles in receptor-mediated signaling. Here we investigated the internalization of GAR-3, a Caenorhabditis elegans muscarinic acetylcholine receptor, using cultured mammalian cells. When Chinese hamster ovary cells stably expressing GAR-3 were treated with carbachol, GAR-3 was internalized in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Approximately 60% of the cell surface receptor was internalized by exposure to 1 mM carbachol for 1 h. Carbachol-induced GAR-3 internalization was suppressed by treatment with hypertonic sucrose, which blocks the formation of clathrin-coated pits. Overexpression of a dominant-negative dynamin mutant (DynK44A), but not of a dominant-negative beta-arrestin mutant (Arr319-418), substantially inhibited carbachol-induced internalization of GAR-3. Thus, these data suggest that GAR-3 undergoes agonist-induced internalization via a clathrin- and dynamin-dependent but beta-arrestin-independent pathway. Depletion of Ca2+ by simultaneous treatment of the cells with BAPTA/AM (Ca2+ mobilization blocker) and EGTA (Ca2+ influx blocker) almost completely blocked agonist-induced GAR-3 internalization. Moreover, treatment of the cells with the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 led to GAR-3 internalization in the absence of agonist. These results indicate that Ca2+ plays a critical role in GAR-3 internalization. We tested whether the third intracellular (i3) loop of GAR-3 is involved in agonist-stimulated receptor internalization. A GAR-3 deletion mutant lacking a large central portion of the i3 loop exhibited an internalization pattern comparable to that of the wild type, suggesting that the central i3 loop is not required for the internalization of GAR-3.

Abstract
Stimulation with the neurotransmitter dopamine causes an amplitude-modulated increase in the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) in epithelial cells of the ducts of cockroach salivary glands. This is completely attributable to a Ca(2+) influx from the extracellular space. Additionally, dopamine induces a massive [Na(+)](i) elevation via the Na(+)K(+)2Cl(-) cotransporter (NKCC). We have reasoned that Ca(2+)-entry is mediated by the Na(+)Ca(2+) exchanger (NCE) operating in the Ca(2+)-entry mode. To test this hypothesis, [Ca(2+)](i) and [Na(+)](i) were measured by using the fluorescent dyes Fura-2, Fluo-3, and SBFI. Inhibition of Na(+)-entry from the extracellular space by removal of extracellular Na(+) or inhibition of the NKCC by 10 microM bumetanide did not influence resting [Ca(2+)](i) but completely abolished the dopamine-induced [Ca(2+)](i) elevation. Simultaneous recordings of [Ca(2+)](i) and [Na(+)](i) revealed that the dopamine-induced [Na(+)](i) elevation preceded the [Ca(2+)](i) elevation. During dopamine stimulation, the generation of an outward Na(+) concentration gradient by removal of extracellular Na(+) boosted the [Ca(2+)](i) elevation. Furthermore, prolonging the dopamine-induced [Na(+)](i) rise by blocking the Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase reduced the recovery from [Ca(2+)](i) elevation. These results indicate that dopamine induces a massive NKCC-mediated elevation in [Na(+)](i), which reverses the NCE activity into the reverse mode causing a graded [Ca(2+)](i) elevation in the duct cells.

Abstract
Mitochondrial Ca(2+) and its relation with the contraction induced by phenylephrine was investigated. In normal Ca(2+), carbonyl cyanide p-(trifluoro-methoxy)phenyl-hydrazone (FCCP) and oligomycin produced contraction similar to that promoted by phenylephrine. Phenylephrine-induced contraction was reduced by FCCP+oligomycin. In Ca(2+)-free, FCCP+oligomycin did not induce contraction. Response to FCCP+oligomycin was reduced upon Ca(2+) repletion and this response was lower than that to phenylephrine. Ca(2+) concentration was increased by FCCP+oligomycin. Since a profuse net of sarcoplasmic reticulum encloses mitochondria, a cross-talk between the two organelles may play an important role in the phenylephrine-induced contraction in presence of Ca(2+) encountered in both sarcoplasmic reticulum and extracellular medium of anococcygeus cells.

Abstract
The human placenta is a transitory organ, representing during pregnancy the unique connection between the mother and her fetus. The syncytiotrophoblast represents the specialized unit in the placenta that is directly involved in fetal nutrition, mainly involving essential nutrients, such as lipids, amino acids, and calcium. This ion is of particular interest since it is actively transported by the placenta throughout pregnancy and is associated with many roles during intrauterine life. At term, the human fetus has accumulated about 25-30 g of calcium. This transfer allows adequate fetal growth and development, since calcium is vital for fetal skeleton mineralization and many cellular functions, such as signal transduction, neurotransmitter release, and cellular growth. Thus, there are many proteins involved in calcium homeostasis in the human placenta.

Abstract
The purpose of the present work was to study the possible role of the epithelial Ca(2+) channel (ECaC) in the Ca(2+) uptake mechanism in developing zebrafish (Danio rerio). With rapid amplification of cDNA ends, full-length cDNA encoding the ECaC of zebrafish (zECaC) was cloned and sequenced. The cloned zECaC was 2,578 bp in length and encoded a protein of 709 amino acids that showed up to 73% identity with previously described vertebrate ECaCs. The zECaC was found to be expressed in all tissues examined and began to be expressed in the skin covering the yolk sac of embryos at 24 h postfertilization (hpf). zECaC-expressing cells expanded to cover the skin of the entire yolk sac after embryonic development and began to occur in the gill filaments at 96 hpf, and thereafter zECaC-expressing cells rapidly increased in both gills and yolk sac skin. Corresponding to ECaC expression profile, the Ca(2+) influx and content began to increase at 36-72 hpf. Incubating zebrafish embryos in low-Ca(2+) (0.02 mM) freshwater caused upregulation of the whole body Ca(2+) influx and zECaC expression in both gills and skin. Colocalization of zECaC mRNA and the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit (a marker for mitochondria-rich cells) indicated that only a portion of the mitochondria-rich cells expressed zECaC mRNA. These results suggest that the zECaC plays a key role in Ca(2+) absorption in developing zebrafish.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+ refilling is an active process to ensure an appropriate ER Ca2+ content under basal conditions and to maintain or restore ER Ca2+ concentration during/after cell stimulation. The mechanisms to achieve successful ER Ca2+ refilling are multiple and built on a concerted action of processes that provide a suitable reservoir for Ca2+ sequestration into the ER. Despite mitochondria having been found to play an essential role in the maintenance of capacitative Ca2+ entry by buffering subplasmalemmal Ca2+, their contribution to ER Ca2+ refilling was not subjected to detailed analysis so far. Thus, this study was designed to elucidate the involvement of mitochondria in Ca2+ store refilling during and after cell stimulation. ER Ca2+ refilling was found to be accomplished even during continuous inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)-triggered ER Ca2+ release by an agonist. Basically, ER Ca2+ refilling depended on the presence of extracellular Ca2+ as the source and sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA) activity. Interestingly, in the presence of an IP3-generating agonist, ER Ca2+ refilling was prevented by the inhibition of trans-mitochondrial Ca2+ flux by CGP 37157 (7-chloro-5-(2-chlorophenyl)-1,5-dihydro-4,1-benzothiazepin-2(3H)-one) that precludes the mitochondrial Na+/Ca2+ exchanger as well as by mitochondrial depolarization using a mixture of oligomycin and antimycin A. In contrast, after the removal of the agonist, ER refilling was found to be largely independent of trans-mitochondrial Ca2+ flux. Under these conditions, ER Ca2+ refilling took place even without an associated Ca2+ elevation in the deeper cytosol, thus, indicating that superficial ER domains mimic mitochondrial Ca2+ buffering and efficiently sequester subplasmalemmal Ca2+ and consequently facilitate capacitative Ca2+ entry. Hence, these data point to different contribution of mitochondria in the process of ER Ca2+ refilling based on the presence or absence of IP3, which represents the turning point for the dependence or autonomy of ER Ca2+ refilling from trans-mitochondrial Ca2+ flux.

Abstract
Lung macro- and microvascular endothelial cells exhibit unique functional attributes, including signal transduction and barrier properties. We therefore sought to identify structural and functional features of endothelial cells that discriminate their phenotypes in the fully differentiated lung. Rat lung macro- (PAEC) and microvascular (PMVEC) endothelial cells each exhibited expression of typical markers. Screening for reactivity with nine different lectins revealed that Glycine max and Griffonia (Bandeiraea) simplicifolia preferentially bound microvascular endothelia whereas Helix pomatia preferentially bound macrovascular endothelia. Apposition between the apical plasmalemma and endoplasmic reticulum was closer in PAECs (8 nm) than in PMVECs (87 nm), implicating this coupling distance in the larger store operated calcium entry responses observed in macrovascular cells. PMVECs exhibited a faster growth rate than did PAECs and, once a growth program was initiated by serum, PMVECs sustained growth in the absence of serum. Thus, PAECs and PMVECs differ in their structure and function, even under similar environmental conditions.

Abstract
Ca2+ transfer across the syncytiotrophoblast (ST) of the human placenta is essential for normal fetal development. However, the nature of Ca2+ conductance in the ST and the mechanisms by which it is regulated are poorly understood. With the major signal transduction pathway of endothelin-1 (ET1) acting via phospholipase C (PLC) and Ca2+, we used ET1 to analyse the nature of Ca2+ channels on cultured trophoblastic cells by means of cytofluorimetric analysis using the ratiometric Ca2+ indicator Indo-1. Results indicate that ET1 (10(-7) M) stimulates a biphasic (transient and sustained) increase in [Ca2+]i in trophoblastic cells. This response is mediated by the endothelin receptor B (ETB) coupled to PLC, since treatment with BQ788 (10(-6) M) or U73122 (2 microM) totally abolished the response. Persistence of the rapid transient rise in [Ca2+]i in Ca2+-free extracellular medium confirms the release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores in response to ET1 stimulation. Furthermore, abolition of the sustained increase in [Ca2+]i in Ca2+-free extracellular medium argues in favour of the entry of Ca2+ during the plateau phase. Abolition of this plateau phase by Ni2+ (1 mM) in the presence of extracellular Ca2+ confirmed the existence of an ET1-induced Ca2+ entry. No evidence for the presence of voltage-operated channels was demonstrated during ET1 action since nifedipine (10(-6) M) did not reduce the Ca2+ response and depolarization with a hyper-potassium solution had no effect. Pharmacological studies using the imidazole derivatives SK&F96365 (30 microM) and LOE 908 (10 microM) partially inhibited the ET1-evoked Ca2+ response, thus providing evidence for the presence of both store-operated Ca2+ channels and non-selective cationic channels in the human ST.

Abstract
Effects of interleukin (IL) on intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) rise and catecholamine (CA) release were examined in isolated, cultured bovine adrenal chromaffin cells. IL-1alpha and IL-1beta inhibited the rise of [Ca2+]i and CA release induced by acetylcholine (ACh) and excess KCl both in normal and in Ca2+-sucrose medium. Pretreatment by IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA) blocked the inhibitory actions of IL-1alpha. IL-1alpha reduced CA release induced by veratridine in normal medium but not in the presence of diltiazem. Analysis using specific blockers for voltage-operated Ca2+ channels (VOCC) revealed that IL-1alpha and IL-1beta specifically inhibited the P/Q-type Ca2+ channel to reduce [Ca2+]i rise induced by excess KCl. IL-1 did not affect [Ca2+]i rise induced either by bradykinin or caffeine in Ca2+-deprived medium or via activation of store-operated Ca2+ channel (SOC). The inhibitory effects of IL-1alpha were blocked by pretreatments with herbimycin A, U0126 and PD 98054, but not with SB202190, SP 600125 or pertussis toxin (PTX). These results demonstrated that IL-1 inhibits stimulation-evoked [Ca2+]i rise and CA release in chromaffin cells by blocking voltage-operated P/O-type Ca2+ channels. The inhibitory action of IL-1 may be mediated through the tyrosine kinase and MEK/ERK pathways.

Abstract
Presenilins, whose mutant forms are the most common cause of early onset familial Alzheimer's disease, are involved in two very distinct processes: (i) proteolytic activity as gamma-secretase acting on amyloid precursor protein to produce amyloid peptides and (ii) storage of Ca2+ in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In particular, absence of presenilin-1 (PS1) was claimed to potentiate capacitative calcium entry (CCE), i.e. the mechanism of replenishment of ER Ca2+ stores. However, until now, evidence in favor of the latter role has been obtained only in isolated or cultured cells and not on neurons in situ. Here, we studied the strength of the synapses between Schaffer's collaterals and CA1 neurons in hippocampal slices when they were submitted first to Ca(2+)-free medium containing thapsigargin and subsequently to normal artificial cerebrospinal fluid, a procedure known to trigger CCE. We demonstrate that Ca2+ influx via the CCE mechanism is sufficient to trigger robust long term potentiation of the synapses in hippocampal slices from transgenic mice with a postnatal, neuron-specific ablation of PS1, but remarkably not from wild-type mice. Our data establish for the first time in neurons confined in normal neuronal networks that PS1 acts on the refilling mechanism of ER Ca2+ stores.

Abstract
Receptor signaling at the plasma membrane often releases calcium from intracellular stores. For example, inositol triphosphate (IP3) produced by receptor-coupled phospholipase C activates an intracellular store calcium channel, the IP(3)R. Conversely, stores can induce extracellular calcium to enter the cell through plasma membrane channels, too. How this "reverse" coupling works was unclear, but store IP(3)Rs were proposed to bind and regulate plasma membrane TRP cation channels. Here, we demonstrate that the adaptor protein, termed Homer, facilitates a physical association between TRPC1 and the IP(3)R that is required for the TRP channel to respond to signals. The TRPC1-Homer-IP(3)R complex is dynamic and its disassembly parallels TRPC1 channel activation. Homer's action depends on its ability to crosslink and is blocked by the dominant-negative immediate early gene form, H1a. Since H1a is transcriptionally regulated by cellular activity, this mechanism can affect both short and long-term regulation of TRPC1 function.

Abstract
Autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease is a multiorgan disease and its vascular manifestations are common and life-threatening. Despite this, little is known about their pathogenesis. Somatic mutations to the normal PKD allele in cystic epithelia and cyst development associated with the unstable Pkd2(WS25) allele suggest a two-hit model of cystogenesis. However, it is unclear if this model can account for the cardiovascular pathology or if haploinsufficiency alone is disease-associated. In the present study, we found a decreased polycystin-2 (PC2, protein encoded by Pkd2 gene) expression in Pkd2( +/-) vessels, roughly half the wild-type level, and an enhanced level of intracranial vascular abnormalities in Pkd2 (+/-) mice when induced to develop hypertension. Consistent with these observations, freshly dissociated Pkd2 (+/-) vascular smooth muscle cells have significantly altered intracellular Ca(2+) homeostasis. The resting [Ca(2+)](i) is 17.1% lower in Pkd2 (+/-) compared with wild-type cells (P=0.0003) and the total sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) store (emptied by caffeine plus thapsigargin) is decreased (P<0.0001). The store operated Ca(2+) (SOC) channel activity is also decreased in Pkd2 (+/-) cells (P=0.008). These results indicate that inactivation of just one Pkd2 allele is sufficient to significantly alter intracellular Ca(2+) homeostasis, and that PC2 is necessary to maintain normal SOC activity and the SR Ca(2+) store in VSMCs. Based on these findings, and the fact that [Ca(2+)](i) signaling is essential to the regulation of contraction, production and secretion of extracellular matrix, cellular proliferation and apoptosis, we propose that the abnormal intracellular Ca(2+) regulation associated with Pkd2 haploinsufficiency is directly related to the vascular phenotype.

Abstract
Intracellular Ca2+ is regulated within three major compartments: the cytosol, the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria. This Chapter reviews the mechanisms involved in handling of Ca2+ within these compartments with reference to potential strategies for neuroprotection. In the cytosol, Ca2+ buffering has a major influence on Ca2+ signals. Cytosolic Ca(2+)-binding proteins such as CB28 participate in Ca2+ buffering and may have a role in resistance to neurotoxicity. In the endoplasmic reticulum, a number of proteins are involved in Ca2+ uptake, lumenal buffering or release, and these may be of value as potential targets for therapeutic intervention. Mitochondria are receiving increasing attention for their role in Ca2+ storage and signaling, and as key players in the processes leading to cell death following Ca2+ overload. An improved understanding of how Ca2+ is controlled within these intracellular compartments, and how these compartments interact, will be important for neuroprotective strategies.

Abstract
We have examined whether store-operated Ca2+ entry, a common pathway for Ca2+ entry in non-excitable tissue, is apparent in the syncytiotrophoblast of both first trimester and term human placenta. Expression of transient receptor potential (TRPC) homologues, a family of channels thought to be involved in store-operated Ca2+ entry, was also studied at the mRNA and protein levels. [Ca2+]i in syncytiotrophoblast of first trimester and term placental villous fragments was measured by microfluorimetry using the Ca2+-sensitive dye fura-2. Store-operated Ca2+ entry was stimulated using 1 microM thapsigargin in Ca(2+)-free Tyrode buffer (no added Ca2+ + 1 mM EGTA) followed by superfusion with control (Ca2+-containing) buffer. In term fragments, this protocol resulted in a rapid increase in [Ca2+]i, which was inhibited in the presence of 150 microM GdCl3, 200 microM NiCl2, 200 microM CoCl2 or 30 microM SKF96365 but was unaffected by addition of 10 microM nifedipine. It was not possible to stimulate such a rise in [Ca2+]i in first trimester fragments. Messenger RNA encoding TRPC1, TRPC3, TRPC4, TRPC5 and TRPC6 was identified in both first trimester and term placentas. From Western blotting, TRPC3 and TRPC6 proteins were detected in term, but not in first trimester, placentas, while TRPC1 protein was not detected. By immunocytochemistry, TRPC3 and TRPC4 were localised to cytotrophoblast cells in first trimester placentas and to the syncytiotrophoblast in term placentas. TRPC6 staining was present in the syncytiotrophoblast of both first trimester and term placenta, but the intensity was much greater in the latter. We propose that store-operated Ca2+ entry may be an important route for Ca2+ entry into the syncytiotrophoblast of term, but not first trimester placentas, and that in human placenta TRPC channels may underlie this entry mechanism.

Abstract
Analysis of small dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons revealed novel functions for vanilloid receptor 1 (VR1) in the regulation of cytosolic Ca(2+). The VR1 agonist capsaicin induced Ca(2+) mobilization from intracellular stores in the absence of extracellular Ca(2+), and this release was inhibited by the VR1 antagonist capsazepine but was unaffected by the phospholipase C inhibitor xestospongins, indicating that Ca(2+) mobilization was dependent on capsaicin receptor binding and was not due to intracellular inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate generation. Confocal microscopy revealed extensive expression of VR1 on endoplasmic reticulum, consistent with VR1 operating as a Ca(2+) release receptor. The main part of the capsaicin-releasable Ca(2+) store was insensitive to thapsigargin, a selective endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitor, suggesting that VR1 might be predominantly localized to a thapsigargin-insensitive endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) store. In addition, VR1 was observed to behave as a store-operated Ca(2+) influx channel. In DRG neurons, capsazepine attenuated Ca(2+) influx following thapsigargin-induced Ca(2+) store depletion and inhibited thapsigargin-induced inward currents. Conversely, transfected HEK-293 cells expressing VR1 showed enhanced Ca(2+) influx and inward currents following Ca(2+) store depletion. Combined data support topographical and functional diversity for VR1 in the regulation of cytosolic Ca(2+) with the plasma membrane-associated form behaving as a store-operated Ca(2+) influx channel and endoplasmic reticulum-associated VR1 possibly functioning as a Ca(2+) release receptor in sensory neurons.

Abstract
The mammalian homologues of the Drosophila transient receptor potential (TRP) channel are plasma membrane proteins involved in the regulation of cellular Ca(2+) influx. These ion channels can be activated subsequent to either depletion of Ca(2+) from internal stores or through receptor-mediated processes. The mRNA expression patterns of several individual mammalian short transient receptor potential channels (TRPCs) have been described. Cross-comparisons between these data, however, are at best difficult predominantly due to the non-quantitative methods used. Furthermore there is limited data on the expression of TRPC family members in human tissues. In the present study we used a single technique, namely TaqMan real-time quantitative RT-PCR, to investigate the mRNA distribution of human TRPC1, TRPC3, TRPC4, TRPC5, TRPC6 and TRPC7 (hTRPCs) in discrete human brain areas, peripheral tissues as well as a panel of cell-lines. All hTRPCs studied were widely expressed within CNS and significant peripheral expression was often observed. Despite this, each channel exhibited a distinctive hallmark distribution profile. hTRPC1 was widely expressed in CNS and peripheral tissues, whereas hTRPC3 and hTRPC5 were predominantly expressed in tissues of CNS. hTRPC4 mRNA was detected in CNS and certain peripheral tissues such as bone, heart and prostate. hTRPC6 was homogeneously expressed throughout the CNS and peripheral tissues with the highest levels in placenta and lung. hTRPC7 mRNA was also broadly expressed in CNS as well as some peripheral tissues. The pattern of expression of the TRPCs was quite different in the various cell lines examined. TRPC3 and TRPC6 were selectively present in HEK-293 cells whilst TRPC1 was broadly distributed in the cell lines analyzed. In contrast TRPC4 and TRPC5 mRNAs were predominantly expressed in HK-2 and HEK-293 cell lines respectively. TRPC7 was selectively expressed in COS-1, COS-7 and HK-2 cell lines. These results show tissue- and cell-specific co-expression of multiple TRPC forms indicating widespread potential for formation of heteromeric channels. These data will be useful in the complex task of relating channel subunit composition to function in native cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The mechanism by which cholelithiasis increases the risk of acute pancreatitis remains obscure. Because bile acids can enter the pancreas either by luminal diffusion or by interstitial leakage during gallstone impaction and pancreatitis is associated with impaired Ca(2+) signaling, we examined the effect of bile acids on pancreatic acinar cell signaling and the associated intracellular events. METHODS Rat pancreatic acinar cells were isolated by collagenase digestion and the effects of bile acids on [Ca(2+)](i) signaling, cell survival, inflammatory signals, and the molecular and functional expressions of bile uptake transporters were analyzed. RESULTS Bile acids specifically inhibited the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) ATPase pump to chronically deplete part of the Ca(2+) stored in the endoplasmic reticulum. This in turn led to the activation of capacitative Ca(2+) entry and a chronic [Ca(2+)](i) load. The increase in [Ca(2+)](i) and Ca(2+) load activated the inflammation-associated signals of c-Jun amino-terminal kinases and NF-kappaB and led to cell death, which was inhibited by buffering [Ca(2+)](i) with 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N,N'-tetraacetic acid. A comprehensive molecular analysis of bile acid transporters revealed that pancreatic acinar cells express the bile uptake transporters Na(+)-taurocholate co-transporting polypeptide and organic anion transporting polypeptide in the luminal and basolateral membranes, respectively. Bile acid uptake into acinar cells was in part Na(+)-dependent and in part Na(+)-independent, suggesting that both transporters contribute to bile acid influx into acinar cells. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that bile acids can be transported into pancreatic acinar cells through specific membrane transporters and induce cell death by impairing cellular Ca(2+) signaling.

Abstract
Human polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) responses to G protein-coupled chemoattractants are highly dependent upon store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE). Recent research suggests that SOCE currents can be mediated by a variety of related channel proteins of the transient receptor potential superfamily. SOCE has been regarded as a specific response to depletion of cell calcium stores. We hypothesized that net SOCE might reflect the contributions of more than one calcium entry pathway. SOCE was studied in normal human PMN using Ca(2+) and Sr(2+) ions. We found that PMN SOCE depends on at least two divalent cation influx pathways. One of these was nonspecific and Sr(2+) permeable; the other was Ca(2+) specific. The two pathways show different degrees of dependence on store depletion by thapsigargin and ionomycin, and differential sensitivity to inhibition by 2-aminoethyoxydiphenyl borane and gadolinium. The inflammatory G protein-coupled chemoattractants fMLP, platelet-activating factor, and IL-8 elicit unique patterns of Sr(2+) and Ca(2+) influx channel activation, and SOCE responses to these agonists displayed differing degrees of linkage to prior Ca(2+) store depletion. The mechanisms of PMN SOCE responses to G protein-coupled chemoattractants are physiologically diverse. They appear to reflect Ca(2+) transport through a variety of channels that are independently regulated to varying degrees by store depletion and by G protein-coupled receptor activation.

Abstract
The regulation and control of plasma membrane Ca(2+) fluxes is critical for the initiation and maintenance of a variety of signal transduction cascades. Recently, the study of transient receptor potential channels (TRPs) has suggested that these proteins have an important role to play in mediating capacitative calcium entry. In this study, we have isolated a cDNA from human brain that encodes a novel transient receptor potential channel termed human TRP7 (hTRP7). hTRP7 is a member of the short TRP channel family and is 98% homologous to mouse TRP7 (mTRP7). At the mRNA level hTRP7 was widely expressed in tissues of the central nervous system, as well as some peripheral tissues such as pituitary gland and kidney. However, in contrast to mTRP7, which is highly expressed in heart and lung, hTRP7 was undetectable in these tissues. For functional analysis, we heterologously expressed hTRP7 cDNA in an human embryonic kidney cell line. In comparison with untransfected cells depletion of intracellular calcium stores in hTRP7-expressing cells, using either carbachol or thapsigargin, produced a marked increase in the subsequent level of Ca(2+) influx. This increased Ca(2+) entry was blocked by inhibitors of capacitative calcium entry such as La(3+) and Gd(3+). Furthermore, transient transfection of an hTRP7 antisense expression construct into cells expressing hTRP7 eliminated the augmented store-operated Ca(2+) entry. Our findings suggest that hTRP7 is a store-operated calcium channel, a finding in stark contrast to the mouse orthologue, mTRP7, which is reported to enhance Ca(2+) influx independently of store depletion, and suggests that human and mouse TRP7 channels may fulfil different physiological roles.

Abstract
The calcium release-activated calcium channel (CRAC) is a highly Ca(2+)-selective ion channel that is activated on depletion of inositol triphosphate (IP(3))-sensitive intracellular Ca(2+) stores. It was recently reported that CaT1, a member of the TRP family of cation channels, exhibits the unique biophysical properties of CRAC, which led to the conclusion that CaT1 comprises all or part of the CRAC pore (Yue, L., Peng, J. B., Hediger, M. A., and Clapham, D. E. (2001) Nature 410, 705-709). Here, we directly compare endogenous CRAC with heterologously expressed CaT1 and show that they manifest several clearly distinct properties. CaT1 can be distinguished from CRAC in the following features: sensitivity to store-depleting agents; inward rectification in the absence of divalent cations; relative permeability to Na(+) and Cs(+); effect of 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB). Moreover, CaT1 displays a mode of voltage-dependent gating that is fully absent in CRAC and originates from the voltage-dependent binding/unbinding of Mg(2+) inside the channel pore. Our results imply that the pores of CaT1 and CRAC are not identical and indicate that CaT1 is a Mg(2+)-gated channel not directly related to CRAC.

Abstract
1. The recent identification of the epithelial Ca(2+) channel, ECaC1, represents a major step forward in our knowledge of renal Ca(2+) handling. ECaC1 constitutes the rate-limiting apical Ca(2+) entry mechanism of active, transcellular Ca(2+) reabsorption. This unique highly selective Ca(2+) channel shares a low but significant homology with transient receptor potential (TRP) channels and vanilloid receptors (VR). 2. We have studied the pharmacological modulation of currents through ECaC1 heterologously expressed in HEK 293 cells. Monovalent cation currents were measured by use of the whole cell patch clamp technique in cells dialysed with 10 mM BAPTA or 10 mM EGTA to prevent the fast Ca(2+) dependent inactivation of ECaC1. 3. Several modulators were tested, including inorganic cations, putative store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOC) blockers, the vanilloid receptor (VR-1) blocker capsazepine, protein tyrosine kinase blockers, calmodulin antagonists and ruthenium red. 4. Ruthenium red and econazole appeared to be the most effective inhibitors of currents through ECaC1, with IC(50) values of 111 nM and 1.3 microM, respectively, whereas the selective SOC inhibitor, SKF96365, was nearly ineffective. 5. The divalent cation current block profile for ECaC1 is Pb(2+)=Cu(2+) >Zn(2+) >Co(2+) >Fe(2+) with IC(50) values between 1 and approximately 10 microM. 6. In conclusion, ECaC activity is effectively inhibited by various compounds including ruthenium red, antimycotic drugs and divalent cations, which might be useful tools for pharmacological manipulation and several disorders related to Ca(2+) homeostasis could benefit from such developments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The active hormonal form of vitamin D (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D) is the primary regulator of intestinal calcium absorption efficiency. In vitamin D deficiency, intestinal calcium absorption is low leading to an increased risk of developing negative calcium balance and bone loss. 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D has been shown to stimulate calcium absorption in experimental animals and in human subjects. However, the molecular details of calcium transport across the enterocyte are not fully defined. Recently, two novel epithelial calcium channels (CaT1/ECaC2 and ECaC1/CaT2) have been cloned and suggested to be important in regulating intestinal calcium absorption. However, to date neither gene has been shown to be regulated by vitamin D status. We have previously shown that 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin stimulates transcellular calcium transport in Caco-2 cells, a human intestinal cell line. RESULTS In the current study, we have demonstrated that Caco-2 cells express low but detectable levels of CaT1 mRNA in the absence of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D treatment. CaT1 mRNA expression is rapidly up regulated (4-fold increase at 4 h and 10-fold at 24 h) by treatment with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (10(-7) moles/L). Moreover, the increase in CaT1 mRNA expression preceded by several hours the vitamin D induction of calbindin D9K, a putative cytosolic calcium transport protein. CONCLUSION These observations are the first to demonstrate regulation of CaT1 expression by vitamin D and are consistent with a new model of intestinal calcium absorption wherein vitamin D-mediated changes in brush border membrane CaT1 levels could be the primary gatekeeper regulating homeostatic modulation of intestinal calcium absorption efficiency.
