Abstract
Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) is the major pathway of Ca2+ entry in mammalian cells, and regulates a variety of cellular functions including proliferation, motility, apoptosis, and death. Accumulating evidence has indicated that augmented SOCE is related to the generation and development of cancer, including tumor formation, proliferation, angiogenesis, metastasis, and antitumor immunity. Therefore, the development of compounds targeting SOCE has been proposed as a potential and effective strategy for use in cancer therapy. In this review, we summarize the current research on SOCE inhibitors and blockers, discuss their effects and possible mechanisms of action in cancer therapy, and induce a new perspective on the treatment of cancer.

Mamatova KN, Kang TM. Activation of rat transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 channels by 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate. Integr Med Res 2013; 2:112-123. [PMID: 28664062 PMCID: PMC5481719 DOI: 10.1016/j.imr.2013.06.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2013] [Revised: 06/16/2013] [Accepted: 06/17/2013] [Indexed: 10/29/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1) channel has been proved to be a molecular integrator of inflammatory pain sensation. 2-Aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB) and its analogs have been noticed as attractive candidates for the development of a selective TRPV1 agonist and/or antagonist. However, selectivity and effectiveness, species dependence, and the binding site(s) of 2-APB on TRPV1 channel protein remain controversial. METHODS The present study aimed to characterize acting sites of 2-APB on heterologously expressed rat TRPV1 (rTRPV1) channels in HEK 293 cells. Rat TRPV1 currents were recorded by cell-free, excised patch clamp techniques. RESULTS In inside-out and outside-out patch modes, 2-APB applied either side of the membrane dose-dependently activated rTRPV1 channels. 2-APB dose-dependently potentiated rTRPV1 currents, that activated by capsaicin, protons, or noxious heat. 2-APB potentiated the capsaicin-activated rTRPV1 current from both side of the patch membrane. A structural analogue of 2-APB, diphenylboronic anhydride, showed the same potentiation effect on the capsaicin-activated rTRPV1 current. CONCLUSION It is suggested that 2-APB directly opens rTRPV1 channels from both sides of the membrane and potentiates the opening of channels by inflammatory stimuli.

Abstract
Huntington's disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by a polyglutamine expansion within Huntingtin (Htt) protein. In the phenotypic screen we identified a class of quinazoline-derived compounds that delayed a progression of a motor phenotype in transgenic Drosophila HD flies. We found that the store-operated calcium (Ca(2+)) entry (SOC) pathway activity is enhanced in neuronal cells expressing mutant Htt and that the identified compounds inhibit SOC pathway in HD neurons. The same compounds exerted neuroprotective effects in glutamate-toxicity assays with YAC128 medium spiny neurons primary cultures. We demonstrated a key role of TRPC1 channels in supporting SOC pathway in HD neurons. We concluded that the TRPC1-mediated neuronal SOC pathway constitutes a novel target for HD treatment and that the identified compounds represent a novel class of therapeutic agents for treatment of HD and possibly other neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
Vanadium has potential medical and pharmacological uses although it may also show genotoxic effects. Biological effects of boron are defined, but its interaction with vanadium is not known for therapeutic uses. The objective of present study was especially to determine whether boron compounds (boric acid and borax) conferred the protection against vanadium(IV) tetraoxide genotoxicity. After the application of vanadium (5, 10 and 20mg/l) and boron compounds (5 and 10mg/l), blood cultures were assessed by genetic endpoints and total antioxidant capacity (TAC). According to our results, vanadium(IV) tetraoxide induced a reduction in proliferation index (PI). Besides, the frequencies of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs), micronuclei (MN) rates and chromosomal aberrations (CAs) in peripheral lymphocytes were significantly increased by vanadium(IV) tetraoxide (10 and 20mg/l) compared to controls. On the other hand, boric acid and borax did not show cytotoxic and genotoxic effects at the concentrations tested. Moreover, these compounds elevated TAC in erythrocytes. The order of anti-genotoxicity efficacy against vanadium was boric acid and borax, respectively. In conclusion, boron compounds have been shown to protect vanadium-induced DNA damage in vitro for the first time.

Abstract
Intestinal mucosal restitution occurs as a consequence of epithelial cell migration and reseals superficial wounds after injury. This rapid reepithelialization is mediated in part by a phospholipase C-gamma1 (PLC-gamma1)-induced Ca(2+) signaling, but the exact mechanism underlying such signaling and its regulation remains elusive. The small GTP-binding protein Rac1 functions as a pivotal regulator of several signaling networks and plays an important role in regulating cell motility. The current study tests the hypothesis that Rac1 modulates intestinal epithelial cell migration after wounding by altering PLC-gamma1-induced Ca(2+) signaling. Inhibition of Rac1 activity by treatment with its inhibitor NSC-23766 or Rac1 silencing with small interfering RNA decreased store depletion-induced Ca(2+) influx and suppressed cell migration during restitution, whereas ectopic overexpression of Rac1 increased Ca(2+) influx and promoted cell migration. Rac1 physically interacted with PLC-gamma1 and formed Rac1/PLC-gamma1 complex in intestinal epithelial cells. PLC-gamma1 silencing in cells overexpressing Rac1 prevented stimulation of store depletion-induced Ca(2+) influx and cell migration after wounding. Polyamine depletion inhibited expression of both Rac1 and PLC-gamma1, decreased Rac1/PLC-gamma1 complex levels, reduced Ca(2+) influx, and repressed cell migration. Overexpression of Rac1 alone failed to rescue Ca(2+) influx after store depletion and cell migration in polyamine-deficient cells, because it did not alter PLC-gamma1 levels. These results indicate that Rac1 promotes intestinal epithelial cell migration after wounding by increasing Ca(2+) influx as a result of its interaction with PLC-gamma1.

Abstract
Ca(2+) signals are universal among cells in regulating a spectrum of cellular responses. Phospholipase C-coupled receptors activate two components of Ca(2+) signals--rapid Ca(2+) release from ER stores, followed by slower Ca(2+) entry from outside the cell. The coupling process between ER and PM to mediate this "store-operated" Ca(2+) entry process remained until recently a molecular mystery. The recent discovery of the necessity for STIM1 and Orai proteins in this process has provided crucial information on the coupling mechanism between stores and PM Ca(2+) entry. STIM1 is a single spanning membrane protein with an unpaired Ca(2+) binding EF-hand and appears to function as the sensor of ER luminal Ca(2+), and, through redistribution in the ER, transduces information directly to the PM. Orai1 is a tetra-spanning PM protein and functions as the highly Ca(2+)-selective channel in the PM that is gated through interactions with the store-activated ER Ca(2+) sensor. Recent evidence shows the two proteins together are necessary and sufficient for the function of store-operated Ca(2+) entry. However, many questions arise about how and where the interactions of the STIM1 and Orai1 proteins occur within cells. Here we discuss recent information and ideas about the coupling between these proteins that leads to store-operated channel activation.

Abstract
2-Aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2APB) had been depicted as a universal blocker of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels. While evidence has accumulated showing that some TRP channels are indeed inhibited by 2APB, especially in heterologous expression systems, there are other TRP channels that are unaffected or affected very little by this compound. More interestingly, the thermosensitive TRPV1, TRPV2, and TRPV3 channels are activated by 2APB. This has been demonstrated both in heterologous systems and in native tissues that express these channels. A number of 2APB analogs have been examined for their effects on native store-operated channels and heterologously expressed TRPV3. These studies revealed a complex mechanism of action for 2APB and its analogs on ion channels. In this review, we have summarized the current results on 2APB-induced activation of TRPV1-3 and discussed the potential mechanisms by which 2APB may regulate TRP channels.

Abstract
Intestinal mucosal restitution occurs by epithelial cell migration, rather than by proliferation, to reseal superficial wounds after injury. Polyamines are essential for the stimulation of intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) migration during restitution in association with their ability to regulate Ca2+ homeostasis, but the exact mechanism by which polyamines induce cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]cyt) remains unclear. Phospholipase C (PLC)-gamma1 catalyzes the formation of inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate (IP3), which is implicated in the regulation of [Ca2+]cyt by modulating Ca2+ store mobilization and Ca2+ influx. The present study tested the hypothesis that polyamines are involved in PLC-gamma1 activity, regulating [Ca2+]cyt and cell migration after wounding. Depletion of cellular polyamines by alpha-difluoromethylornithine inhibited PLC-gamma1 expression in differentiated IECs (stable Cdx2-transfected IEC-6 cells), as indicated by substantial decreases in levels of PLC-gamma1 mRNA and protein and its enzyme product IP3. Polyamine-deficient cells also displayed decreased [Ca2+]cyt and inhibited cell migration. Decreased levels of PLC-gamma1 by treatment with U-73122 or transfection with short interfering RNA specifically targeting PLC-gamma1 also decreased IP3, reduced resting [Ca2+]cyt and Ca2+ influx after store depletion, and suppressed cell migration in control cells. In contrast, stimulation of PLC-gamma1 by 2,4,6-trimethyl-N-(meta-3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-benzenesulfonamide induced IP3, increased [Ca2+]cyt, and promoted cell migration in polyamine-deficient cells. These results indicate that polyamines are absolutely required for PLC-gamma1 expression in IECs and that polyamine-mediated PLC-gamma1 signaling stimulates cell migration during restitution as a result of increased [Ca2+]cyt.

Abstract
Spontaneous local Ca(2+) release events have been observed in airway smooth muscle cells (SMCs), but the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. Considering that each type of SMCs may use its own mechanisms to regulate local Ca(2+) release events, we sought to investigate the signaling pathway for spontaneous local Ca(2+) release events in freshly isolated mouse airway SMCs using a laser scanning confocal microscope. Application of ryanodine to block ryanodine receptors (RyRs) abolished spontaneous local Ca(2+) release events, indicating that these events are RyR-mediated Ca(2+) sparks. Inhibition of inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate receptors (IP(3)Rs) by 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl-borate (2-APB) or xestospongin-C significantly blocked the activity of Ca(2+) sparks. Under patch clamp conditions, dialysis of IP(3) to activate IP(3)Rs increased the activity of local Ca(2+) events in control cells but had no effect in ryanodine-pretreated cells. The RyR agonist caffeine augmented the frequency of Ca(2+) sparks in cells pretreated with and without 2-APB or xestospongin-C. The specific phospholipase C (PLC) blocker U73122 decreased the activity of Ca(2+) sparks and prevented xestospongin-C from producing the inhibitory effect. The protein kinase C (PKC) activator 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-glycerol or phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate inhibited Ca(2+) sparks, whereas the PKC inhibitor chelerythrine, PKCvarepsilon inhibitory peptide, or PKCvarepsilon gene knockout produced an opposite effect. Collectively, our data suggest that the basal activation of PLC regulates the activity of RyR-mediated, spontaneous Ca(2+) sparks in airway SMCs through two distinct signaling pathways: a positive IP(3)-IP(3)R pathway and a negative diacylglycerol-PKCvarepsilon pathway.

Abstract
Interleukin-1 (IL-1)-induced Ca2+ signaling in fibroblasts is constrained by focal adhesions. This process involves the proteintyrosine phosphatase SHP-2, which is critical for IL-1-induced phosphorylation of phospholipase Cgamma1, thereby enhancing IL-1-induced Ca2+ release and ERK activation. Currently, the mechanisms by which SHP-2 modulates Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum are not defined. We used immunoprecipitation and fluorescence protein-tagged SHP-2 or endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-protein expression vectors, and an ER-specific calcium indicator, to examine the functional relationships between SHP-2, focal adhesions, and IL-1-induced Ca2+ release from the ER. By total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy to image subplasma membrane compartments, SHP-2 co-localized with the ER-associated proteins calnexin and calreticulin at sites of focal adhesion formation in fibroblasts. IL-1beta promoted time-dependent recruitment of SHP-2 and ER proteins to focal adhesions; this process was blocked in cells treated with small interfering RNA for SHP-2 and in cells expressing a Y542F SHP-2 mutant. IL-1 stimulated inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor-mediated Ca2+ release from the ER subjacent to the plasma membrane that was tightly localized around fibronectin-coated beads and was reduced 4-fold in cells expressing Tyr-542 SHP-2 mutant. In subcellular fractions enriched for ER proteins, immunoprecipitation demonstrated that IL-1-enhanced association of SHP-2 with the type 1 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor was dependent on Tyr-542 of SHP-2. We conclude that Tyr-542 of SHP-2 modulates IL-1-induced Ca2+ signals and association of the ER with focal adhesions.

Abstract
In all cells Ca2+ signals are key to controlling a spectrum of cellular responses. Ca2+ signals activated by phospholipase C-coupled receptors have two components-rapid Ca2+ release from ER stores followed by slower Ca2+ entry from outside the cell. The coupling process between ER and PM to mediate this "store-operated" Ca2+ entry process has remained a molecular and mechanistic mystery. Through a combination of high throughput screening and molecular physiological approaches, the machinery and mechanism of this process have been elucidated. Two proteins are key to the coupling process. STIM1, a single spanning membrane protein with an unpaired Ca2+ binding EF-hand functions as the sensor of ER luminal Ca2+ and through redistribution in the ER transduces information directly to the PM. Orai1, a tetra-spanning PM protein, functions as the highly Ca2+ selective channel in the PM that is gated through interactions with the store-activated ER Ca2+ sensor. This molecular pas-de-deux between ER and PM components represents not only a crucial signaling pathway, but also a new paradigm in inter-organelle communication.

Abstract
Most antitumour agents with cytotoxic properties induce apoptosis. The lipophilic compound euplotin C, isolated from the ciliate Euplotes crassus, is toxic to a number of different opportunistic or pathogenic microorganisms, although its mechanism of action is currently unknown. We report here that euplotin C is a powerful cytotoxic and pro-apoptotic agent in mouse AtT-20 and rat PC12 tumour-derived cell lines. In addition, we provide evidence that euplotin C treatment results in rapid activation of ryanodine receptors, depletion of Ca2+ stores in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria, activation of caspase-12, and activation of caspase-3, leading to apoptosis. Intracellular Ca2+ overload is an early event which induces apoptosis and is parallelled by ER stress and the release of cytochrome c, whereas caspase-12 may be activated by euplotin C at a later stage in the apoptosis pathway. These events, either independently or concomitantly, lead to the activation of the caspase-3 and its downstream effectors, triggering the cell to undergo apoptosis. These results demonstrate that euplotin C may be considered for the design of cytotoxic and pro-apoptotic new drugs.

Abstract
We report in this study a 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB) activated Ca2+ pathway in NG115-401L (401L) neuronal cells bearing resemblance to hormonal and ryanodine receptor activated pathways. We observed that 2-APB, in contrast to much earlier work, did not inhibit store operated Ca2+ channel (SOC) function, but rather induced potent Ca2+ discharge responses that robustly activated SOC-mediated Ca2+ influx. Further, these studies intriguingly revealed that the 2-APB-induced Ca2+ release pathway likely couples conformationally to targets in the plasma membrane, as membrane permeabilization or actin perturbation abolished the ability of the compound to stimulate Ca2+ signals. These findings suggest that conformationally sensitive complexes form between endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membrane components that not only regulate Ca2+ influx, previously proposed as the conformational coupling hypothesis, but are also required to promote Ca2+ release from intracellular stores. These observations further characterize the 401L neuronal cell line as having unique characteristics that may prove useful in gaining insight into the nature of the coupling mechanism linking Ca2+ release to Ca2+ influx.

Abstract
Hexamethylene bisacetamide (HMBA) stimulates Ca(2+) signals in murine erythroleukemia (MEL) cells serving as an important component of the HMBA-induced pathway that promotes differentiation to the erythroid phenotype. We observed that 1,6-diaminohexane (DAH) triggered a more rapid and robust increase in MEL cell Ca(2+) levels compared to HMBA and the monodeacetylated N-acetyl-1,6-diaminohexane (NADAH), and that polyamine deacetylase inhibition completely abolished the ability of HMBA and NADAH to induce Ca(2+) signals in MEL cells. Our work indicates that DAH mediates Ca(2+) signal propagation via its ability to activate inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) receptors, as we observed similar Ca(2+) release characteristics and heparin sensitivity of DAH and IP(3) in permeabilized MEL cells. Finally, we observed that the DAH-induced Ca(2+) release pathway robustly coupled to a Ca(2+) influx pathway that could be distinguished from thapsigargin-induced Ca(2+) influx by its unusual insensitivity to 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate.

Abstract
We have reported previously that Delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta9-THC) treatment of resting human and murine splenic T cells robustly elevated intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i). The objective of the present investigation was to examine the putative role of [Ca2+]i store depletion and store-operated calcium (SOC) and receptor-operated cation (ROC) channels in the mechanism by which Delta9-THC increases [Ca2+]i in the cannabinoid-2 receptor-expressing human peripheral blood-acute lymphoid leukemia (HPB-ALL) human T cell line. By using the smooth endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase pump inhibitor, thapsigargin, and the ryanodine receptor antagonist, 8-bromo-cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose, we demonstrate that the Delta9-THC-mediated elevation in [Ca2+]i occurs independently of [Ca2+]i store depletion. Furthermore, the ROC channel inhibitor, SK&F 96365 was more efficacious at attenuating the Delta9-THC-mediated elevation in [Ca2+]i than SOC channel inhibitors, 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate and La3+. Recently, several members of the transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channel subfamily have been suggested to operate as SOC or ROC channels. In the present studies, treatment of HPB-ALL cells with 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol (OAG), a cell-permeant analog of diacylglycerol (DAG), which gates several members of the TRPC channel subfamily, rapidly elevated [Ca2+]i, as well as prevented a subsequent, additive elevation in [Ca2+]i by Delta9-THC, independent of protein kinase C. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction analysis for TRPC1-7 showed that HPB-ALL cells express detectable mRNA levels of only TRPC1. Finally, small interference RNA knockdown of TRPC1 attenuated the Delta9-THC-mediated elevation of [Ca2+]i. Collectively, these results suggest that Delta9-THC-induced elevation in [Ca2+]i is attributable entirely to extracellular calcium influx, which is independent of [Ca2+]i store depletion, and is mediated, at least partially, through the DAG-sensitive TRPC1 channels.

Abstract
We have further characterized the Ca2+ signalling properties of the NG115-401L (or 401L) neuroblastoma cell line, which has served as an important cell line for investigating SOC (store-operated channel) influx pathways. These cells possess an unusual Ca2+ signalling phenotype characterized by the absence of Ca2+ influx when Ca2+ stores are depleted by inhibitors of SERCA (sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase). Previous studies found that Ca2+-store depletion does not produce a CIF (Ca2+ influx factor) activity in 401L cells. These observations have prompted the question whether 401L cells possess the signalling machinery that permits non-voltage-gated Ca2+ influx to occur. We tested the hypothesis that ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+ pools and activation of RyRs (ryanodine receptors) constitute a signalling pathway capable of inducing Ca2+ influx in 401L cells. We found that 401L cells express mRNA for RyR1 and RyR2 and that RyR activators induced Ca2+ release. Activation of RyRs robustly couples with Ca2+ influx responses in 401L cells, in sharp contrast with absence of Ca2+ influx when cells are treated with SERCA inhibitors. Thus it is clear that 401L cells, despite lacking depletion-induced Ca2+ influx pathways, express the functional components of a Ca2+ influx pathway under the control of RyR function. These findings further support the importance of the 401L cell line as an important cell phenotype for deciphering Ca2+ influx regulation.

Abstract
Recent studies have identified novel actions for 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB) in triggering calcium release and enhancing calcium influx induced by the depletion of intracellular calcium stores. In this study, we have examined the effects of 2-APB on the human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cell line, which we have previously shown displays a unique calcium influx response, when ER calcium stores are depleted by thapsigargin (TG) treatment. Here, we show that low concentrations of 2-APB failed to induce the rapid augmentation of TG-activated calcium influx previously reported for other cell types. We observed that store-operated calcium (SOC) channels in the A549 cell line exhibited short-term sensitivity to low doses of 2-APB, perhaps reflecting a delayed augmentation of SOC channel activity or the recruitment of 2-APB-insensitive SOC channels. In both intact and permeabilized cells, 2-APB effectively discharged a subset of A549 calcium pools corresponding to the hormone-sensitive intracellular calcium stores. The 2-APB-induced calcium release produced a long-lasting perturbation of the adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-releasable calcium pools, effectively uncoupling ATP-activated calcium release even, when stores are replenished with calcium. In contrast to previous reports, we found that disruption of either the actin or microtubule-based cytoskeleton failed to block the 2-APB-induced effects on calcium signaling in A549 cells. Our study describes novel cytoskeletal-independent effects of 2-APB on Ca2+-signaling pathways, revealing differentially sensitive Ca2+-influx pathways and long-term perturbation of hormone-sensitive Ca2+ stores.

Abstract
Cytosolic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]c) signals triggered by many agonists are established through the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) messenger pathway. This pathway is believed to use Ca2+-dependent local interactions among IP3 receptors (IP3R) and other Ca2+ channels leading to coordinated Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum throughout the cell and coupling Ca2+ entry and mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake to Ca2+ release. To evaluate the role of IP3 in the local control mechanisms that support the propagation of [Ca2+]c waves, store-operated Ca2+ entry, and mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake, we used two IP3-binding proteins (IP3BP): 1) the PH domain of the phospholipase C-like protein, p130 (p130PH); and 2) the ligand-binding domain of the human type-I IP3R (IP3R224-605). As expected, p130PH-GFP and GFP-IP3R224-605 behave as effective mobile cytosolic IP3 buffers. In COS-7 cells, the expression of IP3BPs had no effect on store-operated Ca2+ entry. However, the IP3-linked [Ca2+]c signal appeared as a regenerative wave and IP3BPs slowed down the wave propagation. Most importantly, IP3BPs largely inhibited the mitochondrial [Ca2+] signal and decreased the relationship between the [Ca2+]c and mitochondrial [Ca2+] signals, indicating disconnection of the mitochondria from the [Ca2+]c signal. These data suggest that IP3 elevations are important to regulate the local interactions among IP3Rs during propagation of [Ca2+]c waves and that the IP3-dependent synchronization of Ca2+ release events is crucial for the coupling between Ca2+ release and mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake.

Abstract
2-Aminoethyl diphenylborinate was recently identified as a chemical activator of TRPV1, TRPV2, and TRPV3, three heat-gated members of the transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) ion channel subfamily. Here we demonstrated that two structurally related compounds, diphenylboronic anhydride (DPBA) and diphenyltetrahydrofuran (DPTHF), can also modulate the activity of these channels. DPBA acted as a TRPV3 agonist, whereas DPTHF exhibited prominent antagonistic activity. However, all three diphenyl-containing compounds promoted some degree of channel activation or potentiation, followed by channel block. Strong TRPV3 activation by DPBA often leads to the appearance of a secondary, enhanced, current phase. A similar biphasic response was observed during TRPV3 heat stimulation; an initial, gradually sensitizing phase (I(1)) was followed by an abrupt transition to a secondary phase (I(2)). I(2) was characterized by larger current amplitude, loss of outward rectification, and alterations in the following properties: permeability among cations; ruthenium red and DPTHF sensitivity; temperature dependence; and voltage-dependent gating. The I(1) to I(2) transition depended strongly on TRPV3 current density. Removal of extracellular divalent cations resulted in heat-evoked currents resembling I(2), whereas mutation of a putative Ca(2+)-binding residue in the pore loop domain, aspartate 641, facilitated detection of the I(1) to I(2) transition, suggesting that the conversion to I(2) resulted from the agonist- and time-dependent loss of divalent cationic inhibition. Primary keratinocytes overexpressing exogenous TRPV3 also exhibited biphasic agonist-evoked currents. Thus, strong activation by either chemical or thermal stimuli led to biphasic TRPV3 signaling behavior that may be associated with changes in the channel pore.

Abstract
Measurements were made (using fast confocal microscopy) of intracellular Ca2+ levels in fluo-4 loaded interstitial cells isolated from the rabbit urethra. These cells exhibited regular Ca2+ oscillations which were associated with spontaneous transient inward currents recorded under voltage clamp. Interference with D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) induced Ca2+ release using 100 microm 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate, and the phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitors 2-nitro-4-carboxyphenyl N,N-diphenylcarbamate and U73122 decreased the amplitude of spontaneous oscillations but did not abolish them. However, oscillations were abolished when ryanodine receptors were blocked with tetracaine or ryanodine. Oscillations ceased in the absence of external Ca2+, and frequency was directly proportional to the external Ca2+ concentration. Frequency of Ca2+ oscillation was reduced by SKF-96365, but not by nifedipine. Lanthanum and cadmium completely blocked oscillations. These results suggest that Ca2+ oscillations in isolated rabbit urethral interstitial cells are initiated by Ca2+ release from ryanodine-sensitive intracellular stores, that oscillation frequency is very sensitive to the external Ca2+ concentration and that conversion of the primary oscillation to a propagated Ca2+ wave depends upon IP3-induced Ca2+ release.

Abstract
The coupling between receptor-mediated Ca2+ store release and the activation of "store-operated" Ca2+ entry channels is an important but so far poorly understood mechanism. The transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily of channels contains several members that may serve the function of store-operated channels (SOCs). The 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)pyrazole derivative, BTP2, is a recently described inhibitor of SOC activity in T-lymphocytes. We compared its action on SOC activation in a number of cell types and evaluated its modification of three specific TRP channels, canonical transient receptor potential 3 (TRPC3), TRPC5, and TRPV6, to throw light on any link between SOC and TRP channel function. Using HEK293 cells, DT40 B cells, and A7r5 smooth muscle cells, BTP2 blocked store-operated Ca2+ entry within 10 min with an IC50 of 0.1-0.3 microM. Store-operated Ca2+ entry induced by Ca2+ pump blockade or in response to muscarinic or B cell receptor activation was similarly sensitive to BTP2. Using the T3-65 clonal HEK293 cell line stably expressing TRPC3 channels, TRPC3-mediated Sr2+ entry activated by muscarinic receptors was also blocked by BTP2 with an IC50 of <0.3 microM. Importantly, direct activation of TRPC3 channels by diacylglycerol was also blocked by BTP2 (IC50 approximately 0.3 microM). BTP2 still blocked TRPC3 in medium with N-methyl-D-glucamine-chloride replacing Na+, indicating BTP2 did not block divalent cation entry by depolarization induced by activating monovalent cation entry channels. Whereas whole-cell carbachol-induced TRPC3 current was blocked by 3 microM BTP2, single TRPC3 channel recordings revealed persistent short openings suggesting BTP2 reduces the open probability of the channel rather than its pore properties. TRPC5 channels transiently expressed in HEK293 cells were blocked by BTP2 in the same range as TRPC3. However, function of the highly Ca(2+)-selective TRPV6 channel, with many channel properties akin to SOCs, was entirely unaffected by BTP2. The results indicate a strong functional link between the operation of expressed TRPC channels and endogenous SOC activity.

Abstract
5-Oxo-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-oxo-ETE) is a proinflammatory mediator, but its effects on airway smooth muscle (ASM) have never been assessed. Tension measurements performed on guinea pig ASM showed that 5-oxo-ETE induced sustained concentration-dependent positive inotropic responses (EC50= 0.89 μM) of somewhat lower amplitude than those induced by carbamylcholine and the thromboxane A2(TXA2) agonist U-46619. Transient inotropic responses to 5-oxo-ETE were recorded in Ca2+-free medium, suggesting mobilization of intracellular Ca2+. Meanwhile, the sustained contraction, which required Ca2+entry, was partially blocked by 1 μM nifedipine (an L-type Ca2+channel blocker) but relatively insensitive to 100 μM Gd3+. The 5-oxo-ETE responses were also inhibited by indomethacin and SC-560 [a cyclooxygenase (COX-1) inhibitor] pretreatments but not by NS-398 (a selective COX-2 inhibitor). The contractile effects of 5-oxo-ETE on ASM were inhibited by the selective TXA2receptor (TP receptor) antagonist SQ-29548 (−75%) and by 2-(p-amylcinnamoyl) amino-4-chlorobenzoic acid pretreatment, a phospholipase A2inhibitor (−66%), suggesting that the major part of its effect is mediated by the release of TXA2. ASM responses to 5-oxo-ETE were also blocked by the Rho-kinase inhibitor Y-27632, which also partially inhibited the response to the TP receptor agonist U-46619, suggesting that the contractile response is due in part to Ca2+sensitization of ASM cell myofilaments.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily contains a large number of proteins encoding cation permeable channels that are further divided into TRPC (canonical), TRPM (melastatin), and TRPV (vanilloid) subfamilies. Among the six TRPV members, TRPV1, TRPV2, TRPV3, and TRPV4 form heat-activated cation channels, which serve diverse functions ranging from nociception to osmolality regulation. Although chemical activators for TRPV1 and TRPV4 are well documented, those for TRPV2 and TRPV3 are lacking. Here we show that in the absence of other stimuli, 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2APB) activates TRPV1, TRPV2, and TRPV3, but not TRPV4, TRPV5, and TRPV6 expressed in HEK293 cells. In contrast, 2APB inhibits the activity of TRPC6 and TRPM8 evoked by 1-oleolyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol and menthol, respectively. In addition, low levels of 2APB strongly potentiate the effect of capsaicin, protons, and heat on TRPV1 as well as that of heat on TRPV3 expressed in Xenopus oocytes. In dorsal root ganglia neurons, supra-additive stimulations were evoked by 2APB and capsaicin or 2APB and acid. Our data suggest the existence of a common activation mechanism for TRPV1, TRPV2, and TRPV3 that may serve as a therapeutic target for pain management and treatment for diseases caused by hypersensitivity and temperature misregulation.
