Abstract
Current models for the agonist-induced activation of Ca2+ entry from the extracellular medium in non-excitable cells generally emphasize a capacitative mechanism whereby Ca2+ entry is activated simply as a result of the emptying of intracellular Ca2+ stores, without any direct involvement of inositol phosphates. To date, the activation and control of Ca2+ entry have generally been studied under conditions where the agonist-sensitive stores undergo a profound and sustained depletion. However, responses under more normal physiological conditions typically involve the cyclical release and refilling of the stores associated with oscillations in [Ca2+], and the nature and control of entry under these conditions has received relatively little attention. In this study, using isolated cells from the exocrine avian nasal gland as a model system, we show that: (a) the agonist-enhanced rate of Mn2+ quench is independent of the cyclical emptying and refilling of the agonist-sensitive Ca2+ pool during oscillations; (b) the Ca2+ entry pathway is maintained in an activated state for extended periods following inhibition of oscillations under conditions in which agonist-sensitive stores can be shown to be full; (c) no Ca2+ entry could be detected in oscillating cells in experiments that followed a definitive protocol for the demonstration of capacitative entry; and (d) on initial exposure to low agonist concentrations, activation of Ca2+ entry preceded any detectable release of Ca2+ from the stores. We conclude that the essential characteristics of the control of Ca2+ entry during oscillations are incompatible with current capacitative models.

Abstract
1. We hypothesized that the homogeneity of intracellular [Ca2+] ([Ca2+]i) varies and is regulated in arterial smooth muscle. 2. We evaluated this hypothesis by exploiting the different characteristics of several [Ca2+]i indicators: (1) aequorin, which theoretically can measure focal increases in [Ca2+]i, (2) fura-2, which is predominantly a measure of mean cytoplasmic [Ca2+], and (3) myosin light chain phosphorylation and force, which reflect increases in [Ca2+] near the contractile apparatus. 3. From the differences in the observed aequorin and fura-2 signals, we developed an index of the relative degree of [Ca2+]i homogeneity as the ratio of the aequorin signal and fura-2 signal. 4. Stimulation with intermediate concentrations of histamine (1 and 10 microM) or high [K+]o (25 and 40 mM) increased [Ca2+]i and contractile stress. Relative [Ca2+]i homogeneity, estimated from the aequorin/fura-2 ratio, remained similar to levels observed in unstimulated tissues. 5. Higher concentrations of histamine (100 microM) also increased [Ca2+]i and stress, but the aequorin/fura 2 ratio declined , indicating increased [Ca2+]i homogeneity. Similarly, the aequorin/fura-2 ratio decreased when extracellular Ca2+ was removed. 6. Stimulation with histamine in low extracellular [Ca2+] transiently increased [Ca2+]i and the aequorin/fura-2 ratio. Similarly, in tissues treated with low extracellular [Ca2+], restoration of extracellular Ca2+ transiently increased both [Ca2+]i and the aequorin/fura-2 ratio. Although both of these experiments demonstrated a transient decrease in [Ca2+]i homogeneity, only histamine stimulation led to increased myosin light chain phosphorylation and force. These results indicate that the focal increases in [Ca2+]i observed with histamine stimulation and Ca2+ restoration occurred in different cellular regions. 7. Addition of caffeine (20 mM) increased [Ca2+]i and [cAMP], but this was not accompanied by sustained increased myosin light chain phosphorylation or contraction. Phosphorylation of myosin light chain kinase did not appear to underlie the lack of increase in myosin light chain phosphorylation. Rather, caffeine induced a sustained increase in the aequorin/fura-2 ratio, suggesting that caffeine inhibits smooth muscle contraction by localizing increases in [Ca2+]i to a region distant from the contractile apparatus. 8. These data suggest that there can be transient and sustained focal increases in [Ca2+]i. Aequorin detected increased [Ca2+]i in small regions of the cytoplasm during release from and refilling of the intracellular Ca2+ store and with caffeine stimulation. Dual use of aequorin and fura-2 permits determination of relative [Ca2+]i homogeneity in smooth muscle.

Abstract
We tested lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) known to induce inositol phosphate generation and calcium signals as well as rearrangements of the cytoskeleton and mitogenic responses in fibroblasts, for its ability to activate phospholipase C in an exocrine cell system, the salt-secreting cells from the avian nasal salt gland. LPA (> 10 nmol/l) caused the generation of inositol phosphates from membrane-bound phosphatidylinositides. The resulting calcium signals resembled those generated upon activation of muscarinic receptors, the physiological stimulus triggering salt secretion in these cells. However, close examination of the LPA-mediated calcium signals revealed that the initial calcium spike induced by high concentrations of LPA (> 10 mumol/l) may contain a component that is not dependent upon generation of inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) and may result from calcium influx from the extracellular medium induced by LPA in a direct manner. Low concentrations of LPA (< 10 mumol/l), however, induce inositol phosphate generation, Ins(1,4,5)P3-mediated release of calcium from intracellular pools and calcium entry. These effects seem to be mediated by a specific plasma membrane receptor and a G protein transducing the signal to phospholipase C in a pertussis-toxin-insensitive manner. Signaling pathways of the muscarinic receptor and the putative LPA-receptor seem to merge at the G-protein level as indicated by the fact that carbachol and LPA trigger hydrolysis of the same pool of phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate (PIP2) and mobilize calcium from the same intracellular stores.

Abstract
Ca2+ is central to the stimulation of insulin secretion from pancreatic beta-cells. Arginine-vasopressin (AVP) may participate in the modulation of insulin release. In the present study, the AVP-induced changes in cytosolic free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) were investigated in single fura-2 loaded insulin-secreting HIT cells. Stimulation with AVP (0.1-5 nM) caused repetitive Ca2+ transients. The frequency but not the amplitude of the Ca2+ transients was modulated by the concentration of AVP. High concentrations of AVP (10-100 nM) triggered a biphasic rise in [Ca2+]i. In Ca(2+)-free medium AVP caused only one or two Ca2+ transients. Withdrawal of extracellular Ca2+ rapidly abolished the AVP-induced Ca2+ transients in all cells tested. The Ca2+ channel blocker, verapamil (50 microM), reduced amplitude and frequency of the Ca2+ transients by about 25% and 60%, respectively, and terminated the Ca2+ transients in 2 of 6 cells. When HIT cells were incubated in Ca(2+)-free medium, and extracellular Ca2+ was restored, there was a small increase in [Ca2+]i. If, however, the agonist-sensitive Ca2+ pool was functionally depleted by repetitive stimulation with high concentrations of AVP or thapsigargin in Ca(2+)-free medium before extracellular Ca2+ was restored, an agonist-independent increase in [Ca2+]i was observed, which was transiently larger than in the control cells, and was mainly preserved in the presence of verapamil. Thus, depletion of the agonist-sensitive Ca2+ pool enhances the influx of extracellular Ca2+ through a Ca2+ entry mechanism independent from verapamil-sensitive voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels (VDCC).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is one of the most potent stimulators of growth plate chondrocyte mitogenesis that has been reported. However, study of the second messenger signaling mechanisms involved in the transduction of the hormone's effects on these cells is incomplete. Our data indicate that in addition to stimulating cyclic adenosine-3'5'-monophosphate metabolism, PTH also activates the phosphoinositide cascade, the pathway responsible for the generation of inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate dependent Ca2+ signals. Our conclusion that PTH activates the phosphoinositide cascade is based on data that demonstrate: (1) the Ca2+ transients evoked by the hormone are dependent on intracellular Ca2+ stores; (2) the hormone stimulates the release of radiolabeled inositol from GPC plasma membranes; and (3) the hormone stimulates a greater than 8-fold increase in cytosolic inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate pool size.

Abstract
Consideration of the principal current models for agonist-induced activation of Ca2+ entry in electrically non-excitable cells suggests that it may be possible to distinguish between them on the basis of predicted differences in the temporal relationship(s) between intracellular Ca2+ release and the activation of Ca2+ entry. Measurements of changes in [Ca2+]i and Mn2+ quench in individual exocrine cells from the avian nasal gland indicate that, whereas Ins(1,4,5)P3-induced release of intracellular Ca2+ occurs within 3-5 s, the increase in Mn2+ quench is delayed by some 20-30 s. Mn2+ quench rate is similarly increased by thapsigargin, and is blocked by SK&F 96365, indicating that the increased Mn2+ quench observed genuinely reflects agonist-enhanced activity of the divalent cation entry pathway normally traversed by Ca2+. Additional experiments indicate that the observed delay is not due to inhibition of this pathway by elevated [Ca2+]i. Furthermore, the delay cannot be explained by the time required for Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 generation, which is essentially maximal within 10 s of agonist addition. It is concluded that the observed delay in the activation of the Ca2+ entry pathway is best explained by 'capacitative' models where increased entry requires the generation, and transmission to the plasma membrane, of an unknown messenger as a direct result of the depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores.

Abstract
In the cells of higher eukaryotic organisms, there are several messenger pathways of intracellular signal transduction, such as the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate/Ca2+ signal, voltage-dependent and -independent Ca2+ channels, adenylate cyclase/cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate, guanylate cyclase/cyclic guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate, diacylglycerol/protein kinase C, and growth factors/tyrosine kinase/tyrosine phosphatase. These pathways are present in different cell types and impinge on each other for the modulation of the cell function. Ca2+ is one of the most ubiquitous intracellular messengers mediating transcellular communication in a wide variety of cell types. Over the last decades it has become clear that the activation of many types of cells is accompanied by an increase in cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) that is thought to play an important part in the sequence of events occurring during cell activation. The Ca2+ signal can be divided into two categories: receptor- and voltage-operated Ca2+ signal. This review describes and integrates some recent views of receptor-operated Ca2+ signaling and crosstalk in the context of stimulus-secretion coupling.

Abstract
The pathway for refilling the intracellular Ca2+ stores of HL60 and U937 human leukaemia cells loaded with fura-2 has been investigated. On addition of external Ca2+ to cells with empty stores there was an increase in the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) which preceded the refilling of the stores. The increase in [Ca2+]i was faster than the refilling, by 3- to 15-fold, depending on the cell type. In measurements in single HL60 cells we found that the refilling of the stores correlated with the extent of the [Ca2+]i increase on addition of external Ca2+. The cells showing no [Ca2+]i increase were unable to refill their stores. The addition of Ni2+ to the extracellular medium prevented both the [Ca2+]i increase and the refilling of the stores. These results indicate that the limiting step for store refilling is the entry of Ca2+ from the extracellular medium to the cytosol. Hence, we conclude that extracellular Ca2+ cannot gain access directly to the intracellular Ca2+ stores in these cells, but must first enter the cytosol and be taken up from there into the stores.

Abstract
Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) activation in isolated cells from the nasal salt gland of the domestic duck (Anas platyrhynchos) results in a rapid increase in the rate of phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis and pronounced intracellular calcium signals. Both responses can be elicited by treating these cells with fluoroaluminate (AlF4-) indicating the involvement of a heterotrimeric G protein in the transmembrane signaling process. To characterize this G protein, electrophoretically separated membrane proteins were blotted onto nitrocellulose filters and probed with peptide-antibodies raised against portions of different alpha-subunits of mammalian G proteins. We could demonstrate the presence of at least four different G proteins in salt gland cell membranes. Two of these proteins (40 and 41 kD) were ADP-ribosylated by pertussis toxin and were recognized by an antiserum against a common sequence in all G protein alpha-subunits. One protein (46 kD) was a cholera toxin-substrate and was recognized by a Gs-specific antiserum; the other (42 kD) was recognized by Gq-specific antisera and was resistant to ADP-ribosylation. Since the initial inositol phosphate production upon receptor activation with carbachol and the resulting calcium signals were not affected by pertussis toxin-pretreatment of salt gland cells, we conclude that muscarinic receptors are coupled to phospholipase C by a Gq-type G protein.

Abstract
The activation of T lymphocytes, like many cells, requires a rapid rise in intracellular Ca2+ secondary to both an influx and a release from intracellular stores. The latter is activated by inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3]. It is controversial if inositol phosphates can also stimulate a plasma membrane Ca2+ channel in T cells. We have studied the human T cell line HPB-ALL which, upon stimulation of its antigen receptor, does not generate detectable levels of Ins(1,4,5)P3 or internal Ca2+ release, but does have a Ca2+ influx. We have reconstituted a receptor-activated Ca2+ transporter from plasma membranes from these cells which has properties similar to the transporter observed in vivo and does not require inositol phosphates for activation. These data show that mitogens may activate more than one type of ligand-gated Ca2+ transport mechanism in T lymphocytes.

Abstract
1. In a previous publication, we showed that 10 microM carbachol induced contraction by activating three independent transduction mechanisms in circular smooth muscle of guinea-pig gastric fundus (Parekh & Brading, 1991). These were: inositol trisphosphate-mediated intracellular Ca2+ release, Ca2+ influx through a nifedipine-sensitive route and Ca2+ influx through a receptor operated nifedipine-insensitive pathway. The former two processes contribute to the phasic contraction and the latter two to the tonic contraction. In this paper, we have studied the effects of muscarinic receptor antagonists with known selectivity for different muscarinic receptor subtypes, on the contraction evoked by 10 microM carbachol. 2. Low concentrations of pirenzepine (M1 selective) had little effect on the contraction initiated by carbachol. Higher concentrations (greater than 1 microM) reduced only the phasic component. This concentration of pirenzepine greatly reduced the contraction evoked by 10 microM carbachol in Ca(2+)-free solution, indicating inhibition of intracellular Ca2+ release. 3. In the presence of 10 microM nifedipine, the tonic contraction evoked by 10 microM carbachol (reflecting the receptor-operated nifedipine-insensitive route) was abolished by 10 microM pirenzepine. In the absence of nifedipine pretreatment, however, 10 microM pirenzepine did not abolish the contraction to 10 microM carbachol. This contraction was subsequently abolished by nifedipine. 4. Only high concentrations (greater than 10 microM) of the M2-selective antagonist, gallamine, inhibited the contraction to 10 microM carbachol. Like pirenzepine, gallamine preferentially inhibited the phasic component of the contraction, indicating an effect on intracellular Ca2+ release. 5. The non-selective muscarinic receptor antagonist, atropine, abolished all components of the contraction. At low concentrations, atropine also reduced the phasic component without affecting the tonic one, indicating preferential inhibition of intracellular Ca2+ release.6. It is concluded that (i) the different transduction mechanisms have different sensitivities to the antagonists used and (ii) an M3 receptor activates the three transduction mechanisms with different efficacies.

Abstract
The generation of inositol phosphates upon muscarinic-receptor activation was studied in [3H]inositol-loaded exocrine cells from the nasal salt glands of the duck Anas platyrhynchos, and the metabolism of different inositol phosphates in vitro was studied in tissue homogenates, with particular reference to the possible interaction of changes in intracellular [Ca2+] ([Ca2+]i) with the metabolic processes. In intact cells, there was a rapid (within 15 s) generation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 and Ins(1,3,4,5)P4, followed by an accumulation of their breakdown products, Ins(1,3,4)P3 and inositol bis- and monophosphates. Ca(2+)-sensitivity of the Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase was demonstrated in tissue homogenates, with the rate of phosphorylation increasing 2-fold at free Ca2+ concentrations greater than 1 microM. However, addition of calmodulin or the presence of the calmodulin inhibitor W-7 (up to 100 microM) had no effect. 3-Kinase activity increased proportionally with the initial Ins(1,4,5)P3 concentration up to 1 microM, but a 10-fold higher substrate concentration produced only a doubling in the phosphorylation rate. Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 was dephosphorylated to Ins(1,3,4)P3, which accumulated in the homogenate assays as well as in intact cells. Depending on its concentration, Ins(1,3,4)P3 was phosphorylated [in part to Ins(1,3,4,6)P4] or dephosphorylated. To investigate the Ca(2+)-sensitivity of the 3-kinase in intact cells, excess quin2 was used to buffer the receptor-mediated transient changes in [Ca2+]i in [3H]inositol-loaded cells. These experiments revealed that increasing [Ca2+]i from less than 100 to approx. 400 nM (i.e. within the physiological range) has no effect on the partitioning of Ins(1,4,5)P3 metabolism (phosphorylation versus dephosphorylation) and on the accumulation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 and Ins(1,3,4,5)P4. This indicates that activation of the 3-kinase by physiologically relevant Ca2+ concentrations may not play a major role in the generation of Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 signals upon receptor activation in these cells. The latter are mainly achieved by the receptor-mediated increase in Ins(1,4,5)P3 in the cell and its phosphorylation by the 3-kinase in a substrate-concentration-dependent manner.

Abstract
There is a substantial amount of information which has been obtained concerning the effects of growth factors on [Ca2+]i in proliferating cells. A number of different mitogens are known to induce elevations in [Ca2+]i and some characterization of the Ca2+ response to different classes of mitogens has been obtained. In addition, much is known about whether the Ca2+ response to a particular growth factor occurs as the result of an influx of external Ca2+ or a mobilization of internal Ca2+ stores. In addition, a considerable amount of information is available on the mechanism by which the Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive internal Ca2+ store takes up and releases Ca2+. However, there is still a large deficiency in our information concerning other Ca2+ stores in proliferating cells as well as in our knowledge of the mechanisms for regulating Ca2+ entry pathways. Much more data addressing these issues exists for other types of agonist-stimulated cells, and we have discussed much of it in this review article. While the wealth of data in nonproliferating cells provides some indications of what mechanisms might be involved in the growth factor-induced changes in [Ca2+]i, it is clear that much work must be done in proliferating cells to fully understand how external factors such as growth factors control [Ca2+]i. In addition, much work remains to be done in identifying the mechanisms for the internal control of [Ca2+]i as cells move through the cell cycle and in identifying the role that these changes in [Ca2+]i may play throughout the cell cycle.

Abstract
Oscillations in intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) induced by the acetylcholine analogue carbachol (CCh) were characterized by microspectrofluorimetry of fura-2 in single secretory cells from the avian salt gland. The frequency of oscillations increased in graded fashion with [CCh] between 25 nM (2.7 +/- 0.6 min-1) and 250 nM (11.8 +/- 1.4 min-1), whereas the amplitude of the spikes was independent of [CCh]. An interperiod return to prestimulatory [Ca2+]i was generally seen only at very low (25 nM) CCh. Between 50 and 250 nM CCh, oscillations were associated with sustained elevated [Ca2+]i levels. The amplitude of the oscillatory spikes was found not to exceed that of initial spikes arising from prestimulatory [Ca2+]i, despite the dose-dependent [effective concentration at 50% (EC50) = 200 nM CCh] sustained rise in [Ca2+]i. At 1 microM CCh, oscillations gave way to a maximal sustained increase in [Ca2+]i. Reduction of [Ca2+]o to 1.5 microM during an oscillatory train or blockage of Ca2+ influx with Ni+ resulted in a reduction in sustained Ca2+i levels and in frequency, but not amplitude, of oscillations. A relationship between the sustained partial rise in [Ca2+]i derived from Ca2+ influx and the oscillatory frequency at a given [CCh] was further indicated by the lower frequency (P less than 0.01) of the early spikes in a train when interspike [Ca2+]i initially returned to near-basal levels. In some cells, oscillations were slow enough (less than 2 min-1) to resolve an interperiod of elevated baseline [Ca2+]i, showing that the latter can occur independent of the repetitive Ca2+ spikes.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) is a soluble intracellular messenger formed rapidly after activation of a variety of cell-surface receptors that stimulate phosphoinositidase C activity. The initial response to Ins(1,4,5)P3 is a rapid Ca2+ efflux from nonmitochondrial intracellular stores which are probably specialized subcompartments of the endoplasmic reticulum, although their exact identities remain unknown. This initial response is followed by more complex Ca2+ signals: regenerative Ca2+ waves propagate across the cell, repetitive Ca2+ spikes occur, and stimulated Ca2+ entry across the plasma membrane contributes to the sustained Ca2+ signal. The mechanisms underlying these complex Ca2+ signals are unknown, although Ins(1,4,5)P3 is clearly involved. The intracellular receptor that mediates Ins(1,4,5)P3-stimulated Ca2+ mobilization has been purified and functionally reconstituted, and its amino acid sequence deduced from its cDNA sequence. These studies demonstrate that the Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor has an integral Ca2+ channel separated from the Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding site by a long stretch of residues some of which form binding sites for allosteric regulators, and some of which are substrates for phosphorylation. In this review, we discuss the ligand recognition characteristics of Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptors, and their functional properties in their native environment and after purification, and we relate these properties to what is known of the structure of the receptor. In addition to regulation by Ins(1,4,5)P3, the Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor is subject to many additional regulatory influences which include Ca2+, adenine nucleotides, pH and phosphorylation by protein kinases. Many of the functional and structural characteristics of the Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor show striking similarities to another intracellular Ca2+ channel, the ryanodine receptor. These properties of the Ins(1,4,5)P3 are discussed, and their possible roles in contributing to the complex Ca2+ signals evoked by extracellular stimuli are considered.

Abstract
The aim of this review is to summarize the various systems that remove Ca2+ from the cytoplasm. We will initially focus on the Ca2+ pump and the Na(+)-Ca2+ exchanger of the plasma membrane. We will review the functional regulation of these systems and the recent progress obtained with molecular-biology techniques, which pointed to the existence of different isoforms of the Ca2+ pump. The Ca2+ pumps of the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum will be discussed next, by summarizing the discoveries obtained with molecular-biology techniques, and by reviewing the physiological regulation of these proteins. We will finally briefly review the mitochondrial Ca(2+)-uptake mechanism.

Abstract
In isolated cells from the avian supra-orbital nasal gland, used as a model for exocrine ion secretion, addition of NaF (2-15 mM) produced a slow Al3(+)-enhanced increase in intracellular Ca2+ concn. ([Ca2+]i), resulting in a more than 2-fold sustained elevation in [Ca2+]i. Simultaneously, cellular Ins(1,4,5)P3 contents became markedly elevated, suggesting an AlF4- activation of a phospholipase C-specific G-protein. Subsequent addition of the muscarinic agonist carbachol failed to produce any further sustained increase in [Ca2+]i, indicating that the AlF4(-)-induced increase in [Ca2+]i involves a Ca2(+)-entry pathway identical with that activated by carbachol. In low-Ca2+ media (extracellular [Ca2+] = 0.04 mM) no such increase in [Ca2+]i, either sustained or transient, is seen, although cellular Ins(1,4,5)P3 levels were markedly elevated. Despite the failure to observe any change in [Ca2+]i in the low-Ca2+ medium, estimation of the size of the agonist-sensitive Ca2+ stores (determined as the magnitude of the transient change in [Ca2+]i induced by carbachol) revealed that these are progressively emptied by the action of AlF4-. However, the onset of this emptying showed an initial lag period of at least 2 min (with 5 mM-NaF plus 10 microM-AlCl3). In marked contrast, determinations of the magnitude of the Ca2(+)-entry pathway under identical conditions showed that this was significantly activated after as little as 1 min of AlF4- treatment. This suggests that, under these conditions, activation of Ca2+ entry in these cells preceded the release of Ca2+ from agonist-sensitive stores, contradicting current models in which the receptor-enhanced entry of extracellular Ca2+ is entirely dependent on, and subsequent to, the prior release of Ca2+ from the intracellular stores.
