Abstract
Anomalous aggregation of α-synuclein (α-Syn) is a pathological hallmark of many degenerative synucleinopathies including Lewy body dementia (LBD) and Parkinson's disease (PD). Despite its strong link to disease, the precise molecular mechanisms that link α-Syn aggregation to neurodegeneration have yet to be elucidated. Here, we find that elevated α-Syn leads to an increase in the plasma membrane (PM) phosphoinositide PI(4,5)P2, which precipitates α-Syn aggregation and drives toxic increases in mitochondrial Ca2+ and reactive oxygen species leading to neuronal death. Upstream of this toxic signaling pathway is PIP5K1γ, whose abundance and localization is enhanced at the PM by α-Syn-dependent increases in ARF6. Selective inhibition of PIP5K1γ or knockout of ARF6 in neurons rescues α-Syn aggregation and cellular phenotypes of toxicity. Collectively, our data suggest that modulation of phosphoinositide metabolism may be a therapeutic target to slow neurodegeneration for PD and other related neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND ATP is one of the principal sympathetic neurotransmitters which contracts vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) via activation of ionotropic P2X receptors (P2XRs). We have recently demonstrated that contraction of the guinea pig small mesenteric arteries evoked by stimulation of P2XRs is sensitive to inhibitors of IP3 receptors (IP3Rs). Here we analyzed contribution of IP3Rs and ryanodine receptors (RyRs) to [Ca(2+)]i transients induced by P2XR agonist αβ-meATP (10 μM) in single SMCs from these vessels. METHODS The effects of inhibition of L-type Ca(2+) channels (VGCCs), RyRs and IP3Rs (5 μM nicardipine, 100 μM tetracaine and 30 μM 2-APB, respectively) on αβ-meATP-induced [Ca(2+)]i transients were analyzed using fast x-y confocal Ca(2+) imaging. RESULTS The effect of IP3R inhibition on the [Ca(2+)]i transient was significantly stronger (67 ± 7%) than that of RyR inhibition (40 ± 5%) and was attenuated by block of VGCCs. The latter indicates that activation of VGCCs is linked to IP3R-mediated Ca(2+) release. Immunostaining of RyRs and IP3Rs revealed that RyRs are located mainly in deeper sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) while sub-plasma membrane (PM) SR elements are enriched with type 1 IP3Rs. This structural peculiarity makes IP3Rs more accessible to Ca(2+) entering the cell via VGCCs. Thus, IP3Rs may serve as an "intermediate amplifier" between voltage-gated Ca(2+) entry and RyR-mediated Ca(2+) release. CONCLUSIONS P2X receptor activation in mesenteric artery SMCs recruits IP3Rs-mediated Ca(2+) release from sub-PM SR, which is facilitated by activation of VGCCs. Sensitivity of IP3R-mediated release to VGCC antagonists in vascular SMCs makes this mechanism of special therapeutic significance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is growing evidence suggesting involvement of L-type voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (VGCCs) in purinergic signaling mechanisms. However, detailed interplay between VGCCs and P2X receptors in intracellular Ca2+ mobilization is not well understood. This study examined relative contribution of the Ca2+ entry mechanisms and induced by this entry Ca2+ release from the intracellular stores engaged by activation of P2X receptors in smooth muscle cells (SMCs) from the guinea-pig small mesenteric arteries. METHODS P2X receptors were stimulated by the brief local application of αβ-meATP and changes in [Ca2+]i were monitored in fluo-3 loaded SMCs using fast x-y confocal Ca2+ imaging. The effects of the block of L-type VGCCs and/or depletion of the intracellular Ca2+ stores on αβ-meATP-induced [Ca2+]i transients were analyzed. RESULTS Our analysis revealed that Ca2+ entry via L-type VGCCs is augmented by the Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release significantly more than Ca2+ entry via P2X receptors, even though net Ca2+ influxes provided by the two mechanisms are not significantly different. CONCLUSIONS Thus, arterial SMCs upon P2X receptor activation employ an effective mechanism of the Ca2+ signal amplification, the major component of which is the Ca2+ release from the SR activated by Ca2+ influx via L-type VGCCs. This signaling pathway is engaged by depolarization of the myocyte membrane resulting from activation of P2X receptors, which, being Ca2+ permeable, per se form less effective Ca2+ signaling pathway. This study, therefore, rescales potential targets for therapeutic intervention in purinergic control of vascular tone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE P2X receptors mediate sympathetic control and autoregulation of the renal circulation triggering contraction of renal vascular smooth muscle cells (RVSMCs) via an elevation of intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+) ](i) ). Although it is well-appreciated that the myocyte Ca(2+) signalling system is composed of microdomains, little is known about the structure of the [Ca(2+) ](i) responses induced by P2X receptor stimulation in vascular myocytes. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACHES Using confocal microscopy, perforated-patch electrical recordings, immuno-/organelle-specific staining, flash photolysis and RT-PCR analysis we explored, at the subcellular level, the Ca(2+) signalling system engaged in RVSMCs on stimulation of P2X receptors with the selective agonist αβ-methylene ATP (αβ-meATP). KEY RESULTS RT-PCR analysis of single RVSMCs showed the presence of genes encoding inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor type 1(IP(3) R1) and ryanodine receptor type 2 (RyR2). The amplitude of the [Ca(2+) ](i) transients depended on αβ-meATP concentration. Depolarization induced by 10 µmol·L(-1) αβ-meATP triggered an abrupt Ca(2+) release from sub-plasmalemmal ('junctional') sarcoplasmic reticulum enriched with IP(3) Rs but poor in RyRs. Depletion of calcium stores, block of voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels (VGCCs) or IP(3) Rs suppressed the sub-plasmalemmal [Ca(2+) ](i) upstroke significantly more than block of RyRs. The effect of calcium store depletion or IP(3) R inhibition on the sub-plasmalemmal [Ca(2+) ](i) upstroke was attenuated following block of VGCCs. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Depolarization of RVSMCs following P2X receptor activation induces IP(3) R-mediated Ca(2+) release from sub-plasmalemmal ('junctional') sarcoplasmic reticulum, which is activated mainly by Ca(2+) influx through VGCCs. This mechanism provides convergence of signalling pathways engaged in electromechanical and pharmacomechanical coupling in renal vascular myocytes.

Abstract
After in vivo radiolabeling of Ehrlich cells for 24h with conventional myo-[2-3H]inositol we previously demonstrated an aberrant 3H-labeling of ATP that interfered in the HPLC analysis of inositol trisphosphates. This aberrant 3H-labeling was accounted for by the extensive kidney catabolism of myo-[2-3H] inositol with delivery of 3H-labeled metabolites to extrarenal tissues. As expected, the aberrant labeling of ATP is markedly reduced with the use of 3H-myo-inositol labeled at L-C1 rather than at C2, reflecting that the 3H at L-C1 disappears in the first step of the myo-inositol catabolism: the oxidative conversion to D-glucuronate. In contrast, with the 3H at C2 of myo-inositol, the 3H-C2 passes into the pentose phosphate conversions with resulting labeling of nucleotides. The extent of catabolism to 3H-labeled water, the cellular accumulation of 3H-myo-inositol, the incorporation into cellular inositol phospholipids, and the labeling pattern of cellular phosphoinositides were all found to be similar for the two labeled myo-inositol moieties. With the use of L-myo-[1-3H]inositol an aberrant 3H-labeling at about 25% remained, for which a presumptive mechanism is proposed. L-myo-[1-3H]Inositol appears nevertheless to be a preferable alternative to myo-[2-3H]inositol for tracing the intact myo-inositol molecule after in vivo labeling, with minimized interference from aberrant 3H-labeling of nucleotides.

Abstract
In smooth muscle cells freshly isolated from rabbit portal vein, there was only one site discharging the majority of spontaneous Ca(2+)-release events; the activity of this single site was studied using laser scanning confocal imaging after loading the cells with the fluorescent Ca(2+) indicator fluo-4 acetoxymethyl ester. Localised spontaneous Ca(2+)-release events visualised by line-scan imaging revealed two predominant spatiotemporal patterns: (i) small-amplitude, fast events similar to Ca(2+) sparks in cardiomyocytes and (ii) larger and slower events. The sum of two Gaussian profiles was well fitted to the amplitude histogram (peak frequencies at 1.8 and 3.2 F/F(0)) and spatial spread (full width at half-maximal amplitude) histogram (peak frequencies at 2 and 3.8 microm) for the 230 localised Ca(2+)-release events analysed. The existence of two populations of Ca(2+)-release events was also supported by the histograms of the rise times and half-decay times, which revealed modes at 38 and 65 ms, respectively. Shifting the scan line along the z-axis during imaging from a single discharge site suggested that the appearance of two populations of Ca(2+)-release events is not due to out-of-focus imaging. Both small and large events persisted upon 3-5 min exposure to 1-5 microM nicardipine, but were abolished after 10-15 min exposure to 50-100 microM ryanodine, 0.1 microM thapsigargin or 10 microM cyclopiazonic acid. Only small-amplitude, fast events persisted in the presence of inhibitors of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3))-induced Ca(2+) release, 10 microM xestospongin C or 30 microM 2-aminoethoxy-diphenylborate (2-APB), or in the presence of 2.5 microM U-73122 (a phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor). Coupling between neighbouring Ca(2+)-release domains giving rise to spontaneous [Ca(2+)](i) waves was abolished in the presence of 2-APB. Examination of the saltatory propagation of the waves suggested that the critical factor that determines propagation between domains is a time-dependent change in the sensitivity of ryanodine receptors and/or IP(3) receptors to Ca(2+), which can give rise to 'loose coupling' between release sites. These results suggest that activation of IP(3) receptors (due to the tonic activity of PLC and ongoing production of IP(3)) recruits neighbouring domains of ryanodine receptors, leading to larger Ca(2+) releases and saltatory propagation of [Ca(2+)](i) waves in portal vein myocytes.

Abstract
The inositol phosphates are a group of organic phosphorus compounds found widely in the natural environment, but that represent the greatest gap in our understanding of the global phosphorus cycle. They exist as inositols in various states of phosphorylation (bound to between one and six phosphate groups) and isomeric forms (e.g. myo, D-chiro, scyllo, neo), although myo-inositol hexakisphosphate is by far the most prevalent form in nature. In terrestrial environments, inositol phosphates are principally derived from plants and accumulate in soils to become the dominant class of organic phosphorus compounds. Inositol phosphates are also present in large amounts in aquatic environments, where they may contribute to eutrophication. Despite the prevalence of inositol phosphates in the environment, their cycling, mobility and bioavailability are poorly understood. This is largely related to analytical difficulties associated with the extraction, separation and detection of inositol phosphates in environmental samples. This review summarizes the current knowledge of inositol phosphates in the environment and the analytical techniques currently available for their detection in environmental samples. Recent advances in technology, such as the development of suitable chromatographic and capillary electrophoresis separation techniques, should help to elucidate some of the more pertinent questions regarding inositol phosphates in the natural environment.

Abstract
Soluble inositol polyphosphates are found in many cells. The trisphosphate isomers, mainly inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate, have been extensively studied because of their involvement in signal transduction. However, higher phosphorylated inositols are less frequently studied and their physiological role is poorly understood. Among these, only the myo-inositol-1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate (Ins1,3,4,5,6P5), an important component of bird erythrocytes, has been intensively studied in comparative studies because it is a potent allosteric effector of hemoglobin and decreases its affinity to oxygen. We have developed a procedure for the analysis of inositol polyphosphates and other phosphate compounds in vertebrate blood cells based on a quick and accurate HPLC separation coupled to metal-dye detection. The procedure includes acid extraction of cellular phosphates, acid elimination and concentration of the extract, HPLC separation of phosphate compounds, and quantification by coupled highly sensitive metal-dye detection. The method is especially useful for analyses of highly phosphorylated inositols and for red cell comparative studies. Using the described method we have quantified Ins1,3,4,5,6P5 and the low quantities of InsP6 found in bird erythrocytes. We also identified traces of Ins3,4,5,6P4 and Ins1,3,4,6P4. Moreover, by applying the method in cultured murine macrophages, we have found changes of highly phosphorylated inositols when these cells are activated by lipopolysaccharide.

Abstract
1. The effects of muscarinic antagonists on cationic current evoked by activating muscarinic receptors with the stable agonist carbachol were studied by use of patch-clamp recording techniques in guinea-pig single ileal smooth muscle cells. 2. Ascending concentrations of carbachol (3-300 microM) activated the cationic conductance in a concentration-dependent manner with conductance at a maximally effective carbachol concentration (Gmax) of 27.4+/-1.4 nS and a mean -log EC50 of 5.12+/-0.03 (mean+/-s.e.mean) (n=114). 3. Muscarinic antagonists with higher affinity for the M2 receptor, methoctramine, himbacine and tripitramine, produced a parallel shift of the carbachol concentration-effect curve to the right in a concentration-dependent manner with pA2 values of 8.1, 8.0 and 9.1, respectively. 4. All M3 selective muscarinic antagonists tested, 4-DAMP, p-F-HHSiD and zamifenacin, reduced the maximal response in a concentration-dependent and non-competitive manner. This effect could be observed even at concentrations which did not produce any increase in the EC50 for carbachol. At higher concentrations M3 antagonists shifted the agonist curve to the right, increasing the EC50, and depressed the maximum conductance response. Atropine, a non-selective antagonist, produced both reduction in Gmax (M3 effect) and significant increase in the EC50 (M2 effect) in the same concentration range. 5. The depression of the conductance by 4-DAMP, zamifenacin and atropine could not be explained by channel block as cationic current evoked by adding GTPgammaS to the pipette (without application of carbachol) was unaffected. 6. The results support the hypothesis that carbachol activates M2 muscarinic receptors so initiating the opening of cationic channels which cause depolarization; this effect is potentiated by an unknown mechanism when carbachol activates M3 receptors. As an increasing fraction of M3 receptors are blocked by an antagonist, the effects on cationic current of an increasing proportion of activated M2 receptors are disabled.

Abstract
Spontaneous transient outward currents (STOCs) lasting about 100 ms occur in single smooth muscle cells and represent the simultaneous opening of up to a hundred calcium-activated potassium (BK) channels. The recent observation of brief focal releases of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) calcium ('sparks') in smooth muscle cells has provided support for the original suggestion that STOCs arise due to the spontaneous releases of calcium from the SR close to the sarcolemma. However, it is possible that such releases occur in a region of close apposition of SR membrane and sarcolemma about 0.1 microns wide ('junctional space') in which case they would be detectable by endogenous calcium-sensitive molecules such as BK channels but, using present confocal microscopy technique, not by calcium-indicator dyes introduced into the cell; should calcium escape from the junctional space then it may be visualised as 'sparks' by the fluorescent emission from calcium-indicator dyes using confocal microscopy. Some STOCs seem too large to represent the effect of a single 'spark' and some form of calcium-induced calcium release or 'macrospark' may be involved in their generation. Depletion of calcium stores by caffeine, ryanodine, or by activation of receptors linked to the phospholipase C/inositol trisphosphate system abolishes STOCs. However, low concentrations of caffeine or inositol trisphosphate accelerate STOC discharge by an unknown mechanism and often decrease STOC size presumably by depleting store calcium; similar effects are produced by agents such as cyclopiazonic acid and thapsigargin which inhibit calcium storage mechanisms (largely the SR calcium pump).

Abstract
The effects of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) released from caged InsP3 by flash photolysis on free intracellular Ca2+ concentration, [Ca2+]i, and outward K+ current were simultaneously examined in a single smooth muscle cell of guinea pig small intestine using a patch pipette solution containing Indo-1 (0.1 mM), caged InsP3 (50 microM) and KCl (130 mM). At a holding potential of -50 mV, a depolarizing pulse to +10 mV for 200 msec caused a transient Ca2+ current and an increase in [Ca2+]i. The amplitude of the Ca(2+)-transient was positively correlated with the peak Ca2+ current and negatively correlated with resting [Ca2+]i. InsP3 produced increases in [Ca2+]i and outward K+ current in most of the cells at -50 and -30 mV. The outward K+ current response reached a peak sooner and decayed more quickly than the Indo-1 signal. Both responses to InsP3 were resistant to the removal of extracellular Ca2+. The Ca(2+)-transient and outward K+ current responses to InsP3 at -30 mV were larger than those at -50 mV. The InsP3-induced Ca(2+)-transient was increased by increasing resting [Ca2+]i at -30 mV but not at -50 mV. These results suggest that InsP3-induced Ca2+ release from stores is potentiated by slight increases in [Ca2+]i via membrane depolarization.

Abstract
The metabolism of phospholipids and the mobilization of second messengers such as inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate, 1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG) and arachidonic acid (AA) from phospholipids is commonly studied by radiolabelling phospholipids with [3H]myo-inositol or [32P]ATP and measuring the incorporation of radioactivity in different phospholipids or their hydrolysis products. However, for the radiolabelling method to accurately reflect changes in the compound's mass, it is essential that the tissue is labelled to isotopic equilibrium which is difficult to achieve. To circumvent the disadvantages of the radiolabelling method, several analytical procedures have been developed for the mass analysis of phospholipids and inositolphosphates (IPs). Quantitation of the mass or the radiolabelling of phospholipids is a complex multi-step procedure that involves quantitative isolation of phospholipids, fractionation of individual phospholipids and either determination of radioactivity in each component or the measurement of their mass. Phospholipids, DAG and AA are extracted from tissue sample with organic solvents such as chloroform-methanol (2:1) containing HCl or formic acid. The extract is separated by TLC, cartridge-column chromatography or HPLC on a reversed-phase column. Phospholipids are quantitated by measuring inorganic phosphate, absorption at 200 nm or mass spectrometry. Inositol phosphates are extracted with perchloric acid or trichloroacetic acid and separated by ion-exchange cartridge-column or HPLC with an ion-exchange column. IPs are quantitated by measuring inorganic phosphate or by using enzymatic reaction, metal-dye coupling, NMR or mass spectrometry.

Abstract
1. Smooth muscle fragments from the longitudinal layer of the small intestine of the guinea-pig were permeabilized with Staphylococcus aureus alpha toxin (alpha-toxin) and used to investigate the role of G-protein activation in the regulation of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR)-stimulated inositol phospholipid hydrolysis. 2. The efficiency of alpha-toxin permeabilization was estimated by the release of [3H]-2-deoxyglucose ([3H]-2DG) after prior loading or lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) enzyme release from the smooth muscle fragments. 3. In alpha-toxin-permeabilized smooth muscle, but not in non-permeabilized muscle, GTP gamma S induced time- and concentration-dependent increases in labelled inositol phosphates. Carbachol (CCh) increased labelled inositol phosphates in both permeabilized and non-permeabilized muscle, although the increases were greater in non-permeabilized smooth muscle. The response to 100 microM CCh was severely reduced by 0.5 microM atropine. 4. In permeabilized muscle the effects of GTP gamma S or CCh on inositol phosphate levels were reduced by treatment with pertussis toxin (PTX) and completely inhibited by GDP beta S. 5. GTP gamma S caused a concentration-dependent inhibition of the CCh-induced increases in the levels of labelled inositol phosphates. Dibutyryl cyclic AMP or Sp-cAMPs (adenosine-3',5'-cyclic phosphorothiolate-Sp) reduced the effects of CCh on inositol phosphate levels. 6. The results suggest that muscarinic AChR activation induces inositol phospholipid hydrolysis via more than one G-protein in this smooth muscle and that several mechanisms may contribute to the modulation of both stimulatory and inhibitory responses observed.

Abstract
1. The effects of caffeine, isoprenaline, dibutyryl cyclic AMP, isobutylmethylxanthine (IBMX), 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) or 1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol (OAG), (protein kinase C (PKC) activators), 2-methoxy verapamil (D600), thapsigargin and ryanodine on muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR)-stimulated inositol phospholipid hydrolysis were studied in smooth muscle fragments from the longitudinal layer of the small intestine of the guinea-pig. 2. Incubation of the fragments with the muscarinic agonist, carbachol (CCh) (100 microM) resulted in rapid increases in the levels of all the inositol phosphate isomers with maximal increases in the [3H]-inositol (1,4,5) trisphosphate ([3H]-Ins(1,4,5)P3) isomer occurring 10 s following incubation. 3. The beta-adrenoceptor agonist, isoprenaline (10 microM) and dibutyryl cyclic AMP (10 microM), a membrane permeant analogue of cyclic AMP both reduced the CCh stimulation, but not the basal levels of [3H]-inositol phosphates. This inhibition by dibutyryl cyclic AMP was enhanced in the presence of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor, IBMX. CCh inhibited the isoprenaline-induced increases in the levels of cyclic AMP and this was via a pertussi toxin (PTX)-sensitive G-protein mechanism. 4. TPA (1 microM) and OAG (100 microM) a 1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG) analogue both reduced the CCh-induced increases in [3H]-inositol phosphates levels but neither affected basal values nor the basal levels of cyclic AMP. 5. D600 (10 microM), which blocks voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels, also reduced the CCh-stimulated levels of [3H]-inositol phosphates suggesting that some of the agonist-induced increases are due to a potentiating effect of Ca2+ entering the cell. 6. Caffeine (0.5-30 mM) significantly inhibited both the basal and CCh-induced increases in all the [3H]-inositol phosphate isomers. Its inhibitory action was not due to increases in cyclic AMP since caffeine had no effect on the levels of cyclic AMP at concentrations up to 30 mM. 7. Incubation with thapsigargin (1 microM) and ryanodine (10 microM) had no effect on either basal or CCh-induced inositol phospholipid hydrolysis or cyclic AMP levels. 8. The results indicate a reciprocal inhibition by beta-adrenoceptors and muscarinic AChRs of their effects on cyclic AMP and inositol phosphate levels respectively. Ca2+ entering the cell (but not the action of ryanodine or thapsigargin) potentiates while caffeine inhibits muscarinic AChR-induced rises in inositol phosphate levels. Diacylglycerols may exert a negative feedback inhibition on inositol phosphate production.

Abstract
1. Aluminium fluoride (AlF), pertussis toxin (PTX) and cholera toxin (ChTX) have been used to examine the involvement of G-proteins during muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) stimulation of inositol phospholipid hydrolysis in fragments of longitudinal smooth muscle from the small intestine of the guinea-pig. 2. Carbachol (CCh) induced time- and concentration-dependent increases in [3H]-inositol monophosphates, [3H]-inositol (1,4) bisphosphate, [3H]-inositol (1,3,4) trisphosphate, [3H]-inositol (1,4,5) trisphosphate ([3H]-Ins (1,4,5)P3) and [3H]-inositol tetrakisphosphates measured by h.p.l.c. These increases were inhibited > 95% in the presence of the muscarinic AChR antagonist atropine (0.5 microM). 3. AlF transiently increased the basal levels of [3H]-Ins (1,4,5)P3 but increases in the levels of the other [3H]-inositol phosphates occurred more slowly. CCh-induced increases in the levels of all the [3H]-inositol phosphates were strongly inhibited in the presence of AlF. 4. PTX had no effect on basal levels of any of the [3H]-inositol phosphates but reduced the effects of CCh on these; ChTX had no effects on either basal or CCh-stimulated levels. 5. It was concluded that muscarinic AChR-stimulated increases in the levels of [3H]-inositol phosphates occur via both a PTX-sensitive G-protein and a PTX-insensitive mechanism. The actions of AlF may suggest the involvement of an inhibitory G-protein in the regulation of muscarinic AChR-stimulated inositol phospholipid turnover.

Abstract
1. Single smooth muscle cells from the longitudinal muscle layer of guinea-pig small intestine were voltage clamped using patch pipettes in the whole-cell mode. 2. When D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) was released at intervals, by photolysis of 'caged' InsP3 within the cell, increases in [Ca2+]i in many cells, as judged from Ca(2+)-activated K(+)-current, were all-or-none; release of InsP3 before a critical interval had elapsed, which was quite stable for an individual cell, resulted in no response. After Ca(2+)-induced Ca2+ release had been evoked by depolarization, the InsP3 response was inhibited. Oscillations in [Ca2+]i evoked by muscarinic receptor activation were unaffected by Ruthenium Red; during these oscillations exogenous InsP3 was not effective close to, or shortly after, peak [Ca2+]i but was effective at other times. 3. Reproducible release of Ca2+ and elevation of [Ca2+]i could be produced by brief (up to 0.5 s) pressure applications of 10 mM caffeine at intervals of 10 s or greater but caffeine itself rarely evoked oscillations in [Ca2+]i. Responses to flash release of InsP3 were reduced after caffeine-induced responses and recovery of caffeine-induced Ca2+ release was faster than recovery of InsP3-induced Ca2+ release. 4. The results support the idea that InsP3-induced Ca(2+)-store release can be inhibited by a certain level of [Ca2+]i at a time when Ca2+ stores have refilled and can be released by caffeine; they also support the suggestion that during oscillations of [Ca2+]i evoked by muscarinic receptor activation, Ca2+ inhibition of InsP3-induced Ca2+ release at some critical level of [Ca2+]i allows Ca2+ stores to refill and leads to a fall in [Ca2+]i so contributing to the oscillations which are observed.

Abstract
1. The effect of lowering the temperature to near freezing-point upon the contractions and [3H]-inositol phosphate responses to carbachol were investigated in longitudinal smooth muscle from the guinea-pig ileum. 2. The peak amplitude of the contraction to a single application of 100 microM carbachol was the same at 37 degrees C and temperatures near freezing-point. However, the sensitivity to carbachol was reduced upon lowering the temperature and the time to peak contraction was increased from 5-10 s to 2-10 min. Even when the temperature was maintained near freezing-point, washing off carbachol produced a relaxation and eventual return of tension to basal levels. 3. Incubating the tissue in 140 mM K+, calcium-free solution or in calcium channel antagonists significantly reduced the carbachol-induced contraction to 10-30% of the control at 37 degrees C and also at 3 degrees C. Thus the majority of the activator calcium required for contraction entered the tissue via voltage-dependent calcium channels (VDCs) at both 37 degrees C and 3 degrees C. 4. The contractions produced by high potassium solutions were less at temperatures close to freezing-point than those at 37 degrees C suggesting that voltage-dependent calcium entry was inhibited as the temperature was lowered. 5. A small part of the contractile response to 100 microM carbachol was resistant to the removal of extracellular calcium at both 37 degrees C and 3 degrees C and this component was increased under depolarizing conditions. This suggests that the release of stored calcium contributes to a minor degree to contraction at both 37 degrees C and 3 degrees C.6. Although 100 microM carbachol produced a statistically significant rise in several [3H]-inositol phosphate isomers at both 37 degrees C and 3 degrees C, the production of [3H]-inositol phosphates was less at 3 degrees C than at 37 degrees C and the increase in their production caused by carbachol was much slower.7. These results suggest that the carbachol-induced contraction at 3 degrees C utilizes both calcium entry through VDCs and calcium release from intracellular stores, as at 37 degrees C. The components of the responses dependent upon intracellular calcium release at 37 degrees C and at temperatures near freezing-point were similar. However, the production of [3H]-inositol phosphates, including the calcium-mobilizing second messenger inositol (1,4,5) trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3), is reduced at such low temperatures.

Abstract
1. Single smooth muscle cells obtained by enzymic dispersion of the longitudinal muscle layer of guinea-pig ileum were used for recording membrane currents under whole-cell voltage clamp in response to carbachol (100 microM, unless otherwise stated) or histamine (100 microM) applied extracellularly. 2. At a holding potential of 0 mV, a transient outward current was evoked by carbachol and histamine. Responses to the two agonists were very similar in size and time course to the current response to caffeine (10 mM). The response to carbachol was virtually absent in the presence of histamine, and vice versa. Caffeine was without effect in the presence of either of these agonists. Inclusion of EGTA (10 or 20 mM) in the pipette abolished the responses to carbachol, histamine and caffeine. Thus, the outward current responses were considered to represent opening of Ca(2+)-activated K+ channels in response to a massive release of Ca2+ from the same stores by these three agents. 3. An inward current was evoked by carbachol and histamine, but not by caffeine at a holding potential of -40 mV, which was considered to represent opening of cationic channels. The carbachol-induced inward current was much longer in duration and larger in size than the histamine-induced inward current. 4. Inclusion of GDP beta S (2 mM) in the pipette abolished the inward and outward current responses to histamine, but inhibited only part of those to carbachol. 5. When the holding potential was held at 0 mV with inclusion of GTP gamma S (0.1-1 mM) in the pipette, spontaneous transient outward currents appeared immediately after break-through but disappeared a few minutes later. Under these conditions, caffeine (10 mM) was almost without effect, suggesting that GTP gamma S had released Ca2+ stores. When the holding potential was held at -40 mV and GTP gamma S (0.1 or 0.2 mM) was present in the pipette, an inward current developed a few minutes after break-through. During the GTP gamma S-induced inward current, application of carbachol or histamine produced no further inward current. However, when 0.01 mM-GTP gamma S was included in the pipette solution, carbachol- and histamine-induced inward currents were potentiated. 6. Pretreated with 2-5 micrograms/ml pertussis toxin (PTX) did not change noticeably the outward current responses to carbachol and histamine, but abolished or markedly reduced the inward current responses.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Pool sizes of inositol phosphate species in myo-[3H]inositol-labeled porcine tracheal smooth muscle were determined under three conditions: (a) unstimulated; (b) stimulated with carbachol; (c) atropine-relaxed from a carbachol contraction. In unstimulated muscle, the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) content was 14 pmol/100 nmol lipid P1. This is equivalent to a mean [Ins(1,4,5)P3] of about 3 microM (in total cellular water), a level about 30-fold in excess of that required for Ca2+ release from Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Pool sizes of breakdown products of Ins(1,4,5)P3 were relatively small or absent in unstimulated muscle, suggesting that, under this condition, Ins(1,4,5)P3 was sequestered and had limited access to Ins(1,4,5)P3 5-phosphatase and/or 3-kinase. During carbachol stimulation, the Ins(1,4,5)P3 pool did not increase while those of other mono-, di-, and trisphosphate isomers increased over 10-fold. Subsequent atropine-induced relaxation resulted in a partial depletion (40%) of total tissue Ins(1,4,5)P3. Decreases in Ins(1,4,5)P3 were paralleled by decreases in Ins(1,4)P2 and Ins(1,3,4)P3. During contraction a portion of total tissue Ins(1,4,5)P3 has access to Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase and 5-phosphatase and to Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive SR, though during antagonist-induced relaxation access to Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive SR for Ca2+ release is restricted. Data are consistent with a mechanism by which a large pool of Ins(1,4,5)P3 present in the unstimulated state in a sequestered compartment can contribute in activated muscle to increases in [Ins(1,4,5)P3] in a nonsequestered compartment, controlling SR Ca2+ release.

Abstract
In single cells obtained by enzymic treatment of rabbit small-intestinal smooth muscle, and held under voltage clamp by patch pipette in the whole-cell recording mode, release of inositol trisphosphate (InsP3) from its caged precursor by flash photolysis caused complete inhibition of the voltage-dependent calcium current. No inhibition was seen in control experiments where the cage (2-nitrosoacetophenone) was released by flash photolysis from caged ATP. The inhibition by InsP3 of the calcium current was prevented if 10 mM EGTA or 2 mg/ml heparin was included in the pipette solution. Heparin is known to block InsP3 receptors. These results suggest that release of calcium stores by InsP3 raises Cai and that calcium ions inhibit the calcium current by acting either directly or otherwise on the internal mouth of the calcium channel.
