Abstract
Calcium ions play an important role in the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy, but molecular and cellular regulatory mechanisms of calcium ion action in the uterine endometrium are not fully understood in pigs. Previously, we have shown that calcium regulatory molecules, transient receptor potential vanilloid type 5 (TRPV6) and calbindin-D9k (S100G), are expressed in the uterine endometrium during the estrous cycle and pregnancy in a pregnancy status- and stage-specific manner, and that estrogen of conceptus origin increases endometrial TRPV6 expression. However, regulation of S100G expression in the uterine endometrium and conceptus expression of S100G has been not determined during early pregnancy. Thus, we investigated regulation of S100G expression by estrogen and interleukin-1β (IL1B) in the uterine endometrium and conceptus expression of S100G during early pregnancy in pigs. We obtained uterine endometrial tissues from day (D) 12 of the estrous cycle and treated with combinations of steroid hormones, estradiol-17β (E2) and progesterone (P4), and increasing doses of IL1B. Real-time RT-PCR analysis showed that E2 and IL1B increased S100G mRNA levels in the uterine endometrium, and conceptuses expressed S100G mRNA during early pregnancy, as determined by RT-PCR analysis. To determine if endometrial expression of S100G mRNA during the implantation period was affected by the somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) procedure, we compared S100G mRNA levels in the uterine endometrium from gilts with SCNT-derived conceptuses with those from gilts with conceptuses derived from natural mating on D12 of pregnancy. Real-time RT-PCR analysis showed that levels of S100G mRNA in the uterine endometrium from gilts carrying SCNT-derived conceptuses was significantly lower than those from gilts carrying conceptuses derived from natural mating. These results showed that S100G expression in the uterine endometrium was regulated by estrogen and IL1B of conceptus origin, and affected by the SCNT procedure during early pregnancy. These suggest that conceptus signals regulate S100G, an intracellular calcium transport protein, for the establishment of pregnancy in pigs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulmonary hypertension is associated with vascular remodeling and increased extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition. While the contribution of ECM in vascular remodeling is well documented, the roles played by their receptors, integrins, in pulmonary hypertension have received little attention. Here we characterized the changes of integrin expression in endothelium-denuded pulmonary arteries (PAs) and aorta of chronic hypoxia as well as monocrotaline-treated rats. METHODS AND RESULTS Immunoblot showed increased α(1)-, α(8)- and α(v)-integrins, and decreased α(5)-integrin levels in PAs of both models. β(1)- and β(3)-integrins were reduced in PAs of chronic hypoxia and monocrotaline-treated rats, respectively. Integrin expression in aorta was minimally affected. Differential expression of α(1)- and α(5)-integrins induced by chronic hypoxia was further examined. Immunostaining showed that they were expressed on the surface of PA smooth muscle cells (PASMCs), and their distribution was unaltered by chronic hypoxia. Phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase was augmented in PAs of chronic hypoxia rats, and in chronic hypoxia PASMCs cultured on the α(1)-ligand collagen IV. Moreover, α(1)-integrin binding hexapeptide GRGDTP elicited an enhanced Ca(2+) response, whereas the response to α(5)-integrin binding peptide GRGDNP was reduced in CH-PASMCs. CONCLUSION Integrins in PASMCs are differentially regulated in pulmonary hypertension, and the dynamic integrin-ECM interactions may contribute to the vascular remodeling accompanying disease progression.

Abstract
Herpes simplex viruses (HSV) harness cellular calcium signaling pathways to facilitate viral entry. Confocal microscopy and small interfering RNA (siRNA) were used to identify the source of the calcium and to dissect the requisite viral-cell interactions. Binding of HSV to human epithelial cells induced no calcium response, but shifting the cells to temperatures permissive for penetration triggered increases in plasma membrane calcium followed by a global release of intracellular calcium. Transfection with siRNA targeting the proteoglycan syndecan-2 blocked viral binding and abrogated any calcium response. Transfection with siRNA targeting nectin-1, a glycoprotein D receptor, also prevented both membrane and intracellular calcium responses. In contrast, the membrane response was preserved after transfection with siRNA targeting integrinalphav, a novel glycoprotein H receptor. The membrane response, however, was not sufficient for viral entry, which required interactions with integrinalphav and release of inositol-triphosphate receptor-dependent intracellular calcium stores. Thus, calcium plays a critical, complex role in HSV entry.

Abstract
Integrin signaling modulates trophoblast adhesion to extracellular matrices during blastocyst implantation. Fibronectin (FN)-binding activity on the apical surface of trophoblast cells is strengthened after elevation of intracellular Ca(2+) downstream of integrin ligation by FN. We report here that phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC) mediates Ca(2+) signaling in response to FN. Pharmacological agents used to antagonize PLC (U73122) or the inositol phosphate receptor (Xestospongin C) inhibited FN-induced elevation of intracellular Ca(2+) and prevented the upregulation of FN-binding activity. In contrast, inhibitors of Ca(2+) influx through either voltage-gated or non-voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels were without effect. Inhibition of protein tyrosine kinase activity by genistein, but not G-protein inhibition by suramin, blocked FN-induced intracellular Ca(2+) signaling and upregulation of adhesion, consistent with involvement of PLC-gamma. Confocal immunofluorescence imaging of peri-implantation blastocysts demonstrated that PLC-gamma2, but not PLC-gamma1 nor PLC-beta1, accumulated near the outer surface of the embryo. Phosphotyrosine site-directed antibodies revealed phosphorylation of PLC-gamma2, but not PLC-gamma1, upon integrin ligation by FN. These data suggest that integrin-mediated activation of PLC-gamma to initiate phosphoinositide signaling and intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization is required for blastocyst adhesion to FN. Signaling cascades regulating PLC-gamma could, therefore, control a critical feature of trophoblast differentiation during peri-implantation development.

Abstract
The myocardial stretch-induced increase in intracellular [Ca(2+)] ([Ca(2+)](i)) is considered to be caused by integrin stimulation. Myocardial stretch is also associated with increased nitric oxide (NO) formation. We hypothesised that NO is implicated in calcium signalling following integrin stimulation. Integrins of neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were stimulated with a pentapeptide containing the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence. [Ca(2+)](i) was measured with Fura2, [NO](i) was measured with DAF2 and phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) was monitored with immunofluorescence techniques. Integrin stimulation increased both [NO](i) and [Ca(2+)](i), the latter response being inhibited by ryanodine receptor-2 (RyR2) blockers and by N(G)-monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA), an inhibitor of NOS, but resistant to GdCl(3), diltiazem and wortmannin. Integrin-induced intracellular Ca(2+) release thus appears to be independent of the influx of extracellular Ca(2+) and phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase activity. In addition, integrin stimulation induced phosphorylation of FAK. Our results provide evidence for an integrin-induced Ca(2+) release from RyR2 which is mediated by NO formation, probably via FAK-induced NOS activation.

Abstract
Bovine adrenal chromaffin cells share many characteristics with neurons and are often used as a simple model system to study ion channels and neurotransmitter release. We infected bovine adrenal chromaffin cells with a replication deficient adenovirus that induces expression of the common reporters β-galactosidase and Green Fluorescent Protein via a bicistronic sequence. In perforated-patch recordings performed 48-h postinfection, peak calcium currents were reduced 32%, primarily due to loss of ω-conotoxin-GVIA-sensitive current. In contrast, sodium currents were increased 17%. Exocytosis, detected as an increase in membrane capacitance immediately after a single step depolarization, was reduced in proportion to the decrease in calcium influx. However, capacitance continued to increase for seconds after the depolarization. The amplitude of this poststimulus drift, or asynchronous exocytosis, was approximately three times that which occurred in a small fraction of control cells. Exocytosis evoked by repetitive stimulation with a train of brief depolarizations was increased 50%. Intracellular calcium levels measured during and after stimulation were lower, not higher, in adenovirus-infected cells. Electroporated cells showed reduced calcium currents but no enhancement of exocytosis. Cells infected with UV-irradiated virus showed reduced calcium currents and enhancement of exocytosis, but the changes were smaller than those caused by intact virus. Our results are consistent with the idea that adenovirus capsid and adenoviral DNA contribute to a Ca2+influx- and [Ca2+]i-independent enhancement of exocytosis in bovine chromaffin cells.

Abstract
The preimplantation embryo floats freely within the oviduct and is capable of developing into a blastocyst independently of the maternal reproductive tract. While establishment of the trophoblast lineage is dependent on expression of developmental regulatory genes, further differentiation leading to blastocyst implantation in the uterus requires external cues emanating from the microenvironment. Recent studies suggest that trophoblast differentiation requires intracellular signaling initiated by uterine-derived growth factors and integrin-binding components of the extracellular matrix. The progression of trophoblast development from the early blastocyst stage through the onset of implantation appears to be largely independent of new gene expression. Instead, extrinsic signals direct the sequential trafficking of cell surface receptors to orchestrate the developmental program that initiates blastocyst implantation. The dependence on external cues could coordinate embryonic activities with the developing uterine endometrium. Biochemical events that regulate trophoblast adhesion to fibronectin are presented to illustrate a developmental strategy employed by the peri-implantation blastocyst.

Abstract
Upon stimulation of renal cortical slices with hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), inositol lipid metabolism was studied in basal-lateral plasma membranes (BLM) and brush-border plasma membranes (BBM). Whereas in BLM rapid increases in 1,2-diacylglycerol, PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) and PtdIns(3,4)P(2) were observed, suggesting that in BLM HGF activates both phospholipase C (PLC) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), in BBM only HGF-induced transient accumulation of PtdIns3P was seen, which was temporarily delayed from signalling events in BLM and could be blocked by the PtdIns-specific-PLC inhibitor ET-18-OCH(3) and the calpain inhibitor calpeptin, suggesting that 3-kinase activation in BBM lies downstream of PLC activation in BLM and is a calpain-mediated event. Moreover, the increase in immunoprecipitable PI3K-C2 beta activity, which is sensitive to wortmannin (10 nM) and shows strong preference for PtdIns over PtdIns4P as a substrate, was observed only in BBM upon stimulation of renal cortical slices with HGF and could be mimicked by the Ca(2+) ionophore A23187 and blocked by the cell-penetrant Ca(2+) chelator BAPTA-AM [1,2-bis-(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetra-acetic acid tetrakis(acetoxymethyl ester)]. On Western blots PI3K-C2 beta revealed a single immunoreactive band of 180 kDa in BLM and BBM, while after stimulation with HGF a gel shift of 18 kDa was noticed only in BBM, suggesting that the observed enzyme activation is achieved by proteolysis. When BBM were subjected to short-term (15 min) exposure to mu-calpain, a similar gel shift together with an increase in PI3K-C2 beta activity was observed, when compared with the BBM harvested after HGF stimulation. The above-mentioned gel shift and increase in PI3K-C2 beta activity could be prevented by the calpain inhibitor calpeptin. The data presented in this report show that in renal cells there is a spatial separation of the inositol lipid signalling system between BLM and BBM, and that HGF causes activation of PLC and PI3K primarily in BLM, which leads to calpain-mediated activation of PI3K-C2 beta in BBM with a concomitant increase in PtdIns3P.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence indicates that the endometrial extracellular matrix (ECM) modulates trophoblast adhesion during mouse blastocyst implantation. In previous studies of adhesion-competent mouse blastocysts, we have demonstrated that integrin-mediated fibronectin (FN)-binding activity on the apical surface of trophoblast cells is initially low, but becomes strengthened after embryos are exposed to FN. In the present study, we have examined whether the ligand-induced upregulation of trophoblast adhesion to FN is mediated by integrin signaling. The strengthening of adhesion to FN required integrin ligation, which rapidly elevated cytoplasmic-free Ca(2+). Chelation of intracellular Ca(2+) using BAPTA-AM, or inhibition of the Ca(2+)-dependent proteins, protein kinase C or calmodulin, significantly attenuated the effect of FN on binding activity. Furthermore, direct elevation of cytoplasmic Ca(2+) levels with ionomycin upregulated FN-binding activity, demonstrating that Ca(2+) signaling is required and sufficient for strong adhesion to FN. Ca(2+) signaling may induce protein trafficking, a known requirement for ligand-induced upregulation of FN-binding activity. Indeed, intracellular vesicles accumulated in adhesion-competent blastocysts, but were absent after exposure to either FN or ionomycin. These findings suggest that, during implantation, contact between peri-implantation blastocysts and FN elevates intracellular Ca(2+), which strengthens trophoblast adhesion to ECM through protein redistribution.

Abstract
1. The purpose of this study was to investigate differences in the development of components of the cell/matrix linkage in two functionally different muscle types: the pectoralis muscle, a major locomotory muscle in birds but not particularly functional in chickens, and the quadriceps muscle, a smaller and more functionally active muscle in the chicken. 2. The development of the extracellular matrix, basal lamina and sarcomere in the pectoralis and quadriceps muscles in chick embryos was examined biochemically to determine differences in the rate of development between these two muscles. Samples of these muscle types were dissected out from chick embryos from embryonic day 10 until 8 weeks post hatch. 3. Using SDS-PAGE electrophoresis and western blotting with antibodies against sarcomeric actin, laminin and collagens I, III and IV, it was apparent that muscle development begins earlier in the quadriceps muscle than in the pectoralis, and that late in the developmental process (d 18) both muscle types were well differentiated. The final concentration of collagens in the mature muscle remained higher in the quadriceps than in the pectoralis muscle. 4. The onset of development of the extracellular matrix, basal lamina and sarcomere was earlier in the quadriceps than the pectoralis, which could have functional implications for these muscles as a whole.

Abstract
Rat islet beta-cells spread in response to glucose when attached on the matrix produced by a rat bladder carcinoma cell line (804G). Furthermore, in a mixed population of cells, it has been observed previously that spread cells secrete more insulin acutely in response to glucose, compared with cells that remain rounded. These results suggest bi-directional signaling between the islet beta-cell and the extracellular matrix. In the present study, the role of increased intracellular free Ca2+ concentration [Ca2+]i as an intracellular step linking glucose stimulation and beta-cell spreading (inside-out signaling) was investigated. Purified rat beta-cells were attached to this matrix and incubated under various conditions known to affect [Ca2+]i. The effect of glucose on beta-cell spreading was mimicked by 25 mmol/l KCl (which induces calcium influx) and inhibited by diazoxide (which impairs depolarization and calcium entry) and by the L-type Ca2+ channel blocker SR-7037. When a 24-h incubation at 16.7 glucose was followed by 24 h at 2.8 mmol/l, beta-cells that had first spread regained a round phenotype. In the presence of thapsigargin, spreading progressed throughout the experiment, suggesting that capture of calcium by the endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the reversibility of spreading previously induced by glucose. Spreading was still observed in degranulated beta-cells and in botulinum neurotoxin E-expressing beta-cells when exocytosis was prevented. In summary, the results indicate that increased [Ca2+]i is required for the glucose-induced spreading of beta-cells on 804G matrix and that it is not a consequence of exocytotic processes that follow elevation of [Ca2+]i.

Abstract
Numerous studies show that intracellular calcium controls the migration rate of different mobile cell types. We studied migrating astrocytoma cells from two human cell lines, U-87MG and A172, in order to clarify the mechanisms by which calcium potentially influences cell migration. Using the wound-healing model to assay migration, we showed that four distinct components of migration could be distinguished: (i) a Ca(2+)/serum-dependent process; (ii) a Ca(2+)-dependent/serum-independent process; (iii) a Ca(2+)/serum-independent process; (iv) a Ca(2+)-independent/serum-dependent process. In U-87MG cells which lack a Ca(2+)-dependent/serum-independent component, we found that intracellular Ca(2+) oscillations are involved in Ca(2+)-dependent migration. Removing extracellular Ca(2+) greatly decreased the frequency of migration-associated Ca(2+) oscillations. Furthermore, non-selective inhibition of Ca(2+) channels by heavy metals such as Cd(2+) or La(3+) almost completely abolished changes in intracellular Ca(2+) observed during migration, indicating an essential role for Ca(2+) channels in the generation of these Ca(2+) oscillations. However, specific blockers of voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels, including nitrendipine, omega-conotoxin GVIA, omega-conotoxin MVIIC or low concentrations of Ni(2+) were without effect on Ca(2+) oscillations. We examined the role of internal Ca(2+) stores, showing that thapsigargin-sensitive Ca(2+) stores and InsP(3) receptors are involved in Ca(2+) oscillations, unlike ryanodine-sensitive Ca(2+) stores. Detailed analysis of the spatio-temporal aspect of the Ca(2+) oscillations revealed the existence of Ca(2+) waves initiated at the leading cell edge which propagate throughout the cell. Previously, we have shown that the frequency of Ca(2+) oscillations was reduced in the presence of inhibitory antibodies directed against beta3 integrin subunits. A simple model of a Ca(2+) oscillator is proposed, which may explain how the generation of Ca(2+) oscillations is linked to cell migration.

Abstract
Dissociated cells from rat retinae (P2-P21) were cultured to investigate interactions between brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), various substrates (poly-L-lysine, collagen, and laminin), and protein kinases upon the neuritogenesis of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). We found that BDNF-promoted neuritogenesis was enhanced by forskolin in RGCs from rats at P2-P21 plated on either poly-L-lysine or collagen. In contrast, in cultures with a laminin substrate, the enhancer effect of forskolin was observed only in RGCs taken from the retina of rats at P2-P6. Laminin blocked the enhancement of BDNF-induced RGCs neuritogenesis by forskolin, in RGCs from either P14 or P21, and induced a tenfold increase of protein kinase C (PKC) activity compared to poly-L-lysine. This blockade was reverted with a selective PKC inhibitor and was reproduced in poly-L-lysine cultures of P14-P21 RGCs with a PKC activator. Because axotomized RGCs need both BDNF and forskolin to regenerate, we suggest that laminin can hinder this effect by simultaneous PKC activation according to a developmentally regulated pattern. We further propose a model of interaction in the optic pathways triggered by BDNF, forskolin, and laminin that may be useful in elucidating some of the biological effects seen with regenerating axons.

Abstract
The engagement of integrin alpha7 in E63 skeletal muscle cells by laminin or anti-alpha7 antibodies triggered transient elevations in the intracellular free Ca(2+) concentration that resulted from both inositol triphosphate-evoked Ca(2+) release from intracellular stores and extracellular Ca(2+) influx through voltage-gated, L-type Ca(2+) channels. The extracellular domain of integrin alpha7 was found to associate with both ectocalreticulin and dihydropyridine receptor on the cell surface. Calreticulin appears to also associate with cytoplasmic domain of integrin alpha7 in a manner highly dependent on the cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration. It appeared that intracellular Ca(2+) release was a prerequisite for Ca(2+) influx and that calreticulin associated with the integrin cytoplasmic domain mediated the coupling of between the Ca(2+) release and Ca(2+) influx. These findings suggest that calreticulin serves as a cytosolic activator of integrin and a signal transducer between integrins and Ca(2+) channels on the cell surface.

Abstract
AbstractWe have characterized changes in [Ca2+]iin primary mouse megakaryocytes in response to fibrillar collagen and in response to cross-linking of the collagen receptor, the integrin 2β1. The response to collagen was markedly different from that seen to a triple helical collagen-related peptide (CRP), which signals via the tyrosine kinases p59fyn and p72syk. This peptide binds to the collagen receptor glycoprotein VI (GPVI), but not to the integrin 2β1. Collagen elicited a sustained increase in [Ca2+]i composed primarily of influx of extracellular Ca2+ with some Ca2+release from internal stores. In contrast to CRP, this response was only partially (∼30%) inhibited by the src-family kinase inhibitor PP1 (10 μmol/L) or by microinjection of the tandem SH2 domains of p72syk. Collagen also caused an increase in [Ca2+]i in megakaryocytes deficient in either p59fyn or p72syk, although the response was reduced by approximately 40% in both cases: Cross-linking of the 2 integrin increased [Ca2+]iin these cells exclusively via Ca2+ influx. This response was reduced by approximately 50% after PP1 pretreatment, but was significantly increased in fyn-deficient megakaryocytes. Collagen therefore increases [Ca2+]i in mouse megakaryocytes via multiple receptors, including GPVI, which causes Ca2+ mobilization, and 2β1, which stimulates a substantial influx of extracellular Ca2+.

Abstract
Vasoactive effects of soluble matrix proteins and integrin-binding peptides on arterioles are mediated by alphav beta3 and alpha5 beta1 integrins. To examine the underlying mechanisms, we measured L-type Ca2+ channel current in arteriolar smooth muscle cells in response to integrin ligands. Whole-cell, inward Ba2+ currents were inhibited after application of soluble cyclic RGD peptide, vitronectin (VN), fibronectin (FN), either of two anti-beta3 integrin antibodies, or monovalent beta3 antibody. With VN or beta3 antibody coated onto microbeads and presented as an insoluble ligand, current was also inhibited. In contrast, beads coated with FN or alpha5 antibody produced significant enhancement of current after bead attachment. Soluble alpha5 antibody had no effect on current but blocked the increase in current evoked by FN-coated beads and enhanced current when applied in combination with an appropriate IgG. The data suggest that alphavbeta3 and alpha5 beta1 integrins are differentially linked through intracellular signaling pathways to the L-type Ca2+ channel and thereby alter control of Ca2+ influx in vascular smooth muscle. This would account for the vasoactive effects of integrin ligands on arterioles and provide a potential mechanism for wound recognition during tissue injury.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix influences the cellular spreading of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) via integrin receptors. However, the intracellular signaling mechanisms are still incompletely understood. We investigated the hypothesis that VSMCs binding to fibronectin activates the protein kinase C (PKC) pathway, causes differential intracellular PKC isoform translocation, and mediates cell spreading. VSMCs binding to poly-L-lysine or preincubated with Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptides were used as controls. Diacylglycerol (DAG) and phospholipase D (PLD) activity were measured by thin-layer chromatography. Intracellular distribution of PKC isoforms was assessed by confocal microscopy. VSMCs binding to fibronectin induced focal adhesions and cell spreading within 30 minutes. Fibronectin induced a rapid increase in DAG content, peaking at 10 minutes with a sustained response for <1 hour. In contrast, PLD activity was not influenced by specific binding to fibronectin. PKC isoforms alpha, delta, epsilon, and zeta were assessed by confocal microscopy. Fibronectin induced a PKC isoform translocation to the cell nucleus and to focal adhesions within minutes. The nuclear PKCalpha immunoreactivity was transiently increased. PKC isoforms a and epsilon were both translocated to focal adhesions. The intracellular distributions of other PKC isoforms were not influenced by fibronectin. The effects of fibronectin on DAG generation, the translocation of PKCalpha and PKCepsilon, and cell spreading were all abolished by the incubation with RGD peptides. Downregulation of PKC isoforms alpha and epsilon with specific antisense oligodinucleotides resulted in a significant inhibition of cell spreading. Our results show that integrins induce intracellular signaling in VSMCs via DAG and PKC. PKC isoform a is translocated to the nucleus, whereas PKC isoforms alpha and epsilon are translocated to focal adhesions. Both isoforms seem to play a role in inside-out integrin signaling and cell spreading.

Abstract
Tumor cell extravasation is a determinant step in the process of hematogenous metastasis. The signal transduction pathways involved in the interactions between tumor cells and the vascular endothelium during transendothelial migration are still undefined. In the present study, we have investigated the influence of human breast adenocarcinoma cells (MCF7) on human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). We show that the contact between MCF7 cells and a confluent HUVEC monolayer induces an immediate and transient increase in HUVEC [Ca2+]i. This [Ca2+]i rise could not be elicited by tumor cell-conditioned medium, isolated tumor cell membranes, inert beads or normal breast epithelial cells, demonstrating the involvement of specific recognition mechanisms between MCF7 cells and HUVEC. Depletion of HUVEC intracellular Ca2+ stores by the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase inhibitor thapsigargin as well as the selective depletion of inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3)-sensitive Ca2+ stores by prior activation of HUVEC using histamine resulted in a complete inhibition of tumor cell-induced [Ca2+]i elevation. Similar results were obtained when HUVEC monolayers were treated with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor herbimycin A, suggesting a role for tyrosine kinase-associated cell surface receptors in tumor cell-endothelial cell interactions. The depletion of HUVEC intracellular Ca2+ stores by thapsigargin was also shown to delay MCF7-induced endothelial cell disjunction, to prevent their spreading on the subendothelial extracellular matrix and transendothelial migration in vitro. These results suggest that transient changes in endothelial [Ca2+]i may govern multiple steps of tumor cell extravasation.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether extracellular matrix proteins which influence human keratinocyte behaviour are capable of altering intracellular signalling systems in these cells. The effects of extracellular matrix proteins on two major signal transduction pathways, intracellular calcium and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cyclic AMP), were investigated. The extracellular matrix proteins examined were the basement membrane preparation matrigel, collagens type I and IV, vitronectin and its active tripeptide component Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD). Acute additions of matrigel, vitronectin and RGD caused rapid transient increases in intracellular calcium and, together with collagen type I, also caused sustained elevations in basal calcium when cells were grown on these substrates. Cyclic AMP production was unaffected by acute exposure to these extracellular matrix proteins. Culture of cells on matrigel, collagen type I or IV, however, significantly reduced basal cyclic AMP accumulation and increased the response of the cells to the receptor-independent agonist forskolin. It is concluded that in vitro some extracellular matrix proteins can initiate both acute and sustained changes in intracellular signalling in human keratinocytes.

Abstract
AbstractThe biochemical signaling mechanisms involved in transducing the effects of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) on human leukemia-derived HL-60 cell differentiation are not completely understood. Recent studies established the existence of a sphyngomyelin (SM) cycle that operates in response to the action of IFN-γ on HL-60 cells, but the mechanisms by which IFN-γ induces the SM hydrolysis remain unexplored. In this study, biochemical events mediating IFN-γ effects on SM turnover and their specificity and role in HL-60 differentiation were investigated. The activation of the SM cycle by IFN-γ occurred rapidly, with a decrease of approximately 20% in the SM level observed after 60 minutes with a concomitant increase in ceramide level. Treatment of HL-60 cells with IFN-γ did not influence the 1,2-diacylglycerol concentration, intracellular Ca2+ concentration, or phospholipase D activity. IFN-γ stimulated a rapid release of arachidonic acid (AA) from HL-60 cells; the effect was abolished by the pretreatment of cells with pertussis toxin, suggesting a role for a pertussis-toxin–sensitive G protein in IFN-γ–mediated activation of phospholipase A2 (PLA2 ). At 4 to 120 hours after the stimulation of the cells with IFN-γ, a significant increase in the particulate and soluble PLA2 activity was observed, corresponding to an increase in the level of immunoreactive cPLA2 in both cytosol and membrane fractions. The treatment of cells with tyrosine kinase inhibitor herbimycin A completely abolished the effect of IFN-γ on PLA2 activity in membrane and cytosolic fractions, but had no effect on IFN-γ–mediated early AA release suggesting dual mechanism of PLA2 activation. Melittin, potent activator of PLA2 , and AA mimicked the effect of IFN-γ on SM hydrolysis. Pretreatment of HL-60 cells with the PLA2 inhibitor, bromophenacyl bromide (BPB), or pertussis toxin abolished the effect of IFN-γ on SM hydrolysis; exogenous addition of AA overcame the effects of BPB and pertussis toxin. Long-term exposure (5 days) of HL-60 cells to IFN-γ caused an increase in nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT)-reducing and nonspecific esterase (NSE) activity and induced expression of FcγRI (CD64) without significant effects on cell number, adherence, or fagocytic activity. The treatment of cells with AA or melittin induced NBT, NSE, and CD64 expression to the level similar to that observed with IFN-γ, and no further increase was observed with the combination of IFN-γ and AA or IFN-γ and melittin. Treatment of HL-60 cells with indomethacin, an inhibitor of cyclo-oxygenase, and nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA), an inhibitor of lipoxygenase, had no effects on IFN-γ–mediated induction of CD64 expression. These studies indicate a key role for the phospholipase A2/AA pathway, as an early biochemical signal elicited by the occupation of IFN-γ–receptor, in mediating IFN-γ induction of the SM cycle and phenotypic changes associated with differentiation of HL-60 along monocytic lineage.

Abstract
Integrins are ubiquitous trans-membrane adhesion molecules that mediate the interaction of cells with the extracellular matrix (ECM). Integrins link cells to the ECM by interacting with the cell cytoskeleton. In cases such as leukocyte binding, integrins mediate cell-cell interactions and cell-ECM interactions. Recent research indicates that integrins also function as signal transduction receptors, triggering a number of intracellular signaling pathways that regulate cell behavior and development. A number of integrins are known to stimulate changes in intracellular calcium levels, resulting in integrin activation. Although changes in intracellular calcium regulate a vast number of cellular functions, this review will discuss the stimulation of calcium signaling by integrins and the role of intracellular calcium in the regulation of integrin-mediated adhesion.

Abstract
The integrins are receptors that regulate interaction between epithelial cells and the extracellular matrix. Previous studies have shown that a reduction in the expression of the alpha2beta1, alpha3beta1, alpha6beta1, alpha(v)beta1 and alpha(v)beta5 integrins in primary breast cancer is associated with positive nodal status. In order to assess the functional significance of altered integrin expression, primary breast cancer cells were derived from individual patients with known tumour characteristics using immunomagnetic separation. Purified human fibronectin, vitronectin, laminin and type IV collagen were used to represent the principal extracellular matrix proteins in an in vitro adhesion assay. Primary breast cancer cells from lymph node-positive patients were significantly less adhesive to each of the matrix proteins studied (P<0.001, Mann-Whitney U-test). Matrix adhesion of primary breast cancer cells from node-negative patients was inhibited by appropriate integrin monoclonal antibodies (P<0.001, paired Wilcoxon test). Adhesion to fibronectin, vitronectin and laminin, but not type IV collagen, was influenced by the inhibitor arginine-glycine-aspartate, suggesting that breast cancer cell recognition of collagen IV is mediated through alternative epitopes. Weak matrix adhesion correlated with loss of integrin expression in tissue sections from corresponding patients assessed using immunohistochemistry. This study demonstrates a link between altered integrin expression and function in primary breast cancers predisposed to metastasize.

Abstract
Peptides containing Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) immobilized on beads bind to integrins and trigger biphasic, transient increases in intracellular free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) in Madin-Darby canine kidney epithelial cells. The [Ca2+]i increase participates in feedback regulation of integrin-mediated adhesion in these cells. We examined influx pathways and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)-mediated Ca2+ store release as possible sources of the [Ca2+]i rise. The RGD-induced [Ca2+]i response requires external Ca2+ (threshold approximately 150 microM), and its magnitude is proportional to extracellular calcium. RGD-induced transients were attenuated by Ca2+ channel inhibitors (Ni2+ and carboxy-amidotriazole) or by plasma membrane depolarization, indicating that Ca2+ influx contributes to the response. Loading cells with heparin reduced the size of RGD-induced [Ca2+]i transients, indicating that IP3-mediated release of Ca2+ from stores may also contribute to the RGD response. Depletion of Ca2+ stores with thapsigargin activated Ni(2+)-sensitive Ca2+ influx that might also be expected to occur after IP3-mediated depletion of stored Ca2-. However, RGD elicited a Ni(2+)-sensitive Ca2+ influx even after pretreatment with thapsigargin, indicating that Ca2+ influx is controlled by a mechanism independent of IP3-mediated store depletion. We conclude that RGD-induced [Ca2+]i transients in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells result primarily from the combination of two distinct mechanisms: 1) IP3-mediated release of intracellular stores, and 2) activation of a Ca2+ influx pathway regulated independently of IP3 and Ca2+ store release. Because Ni2+ and carboxy-amidotriazole inhibited adhesion, whereas store depletion with thapsigargin had little effect, we suggest that the Ca2+ influx mechanism is most important for feedback regulation of integrin-mediated adhesion by increased [Ca2+]i.

Abstract
Phospholipid signalling mediated by endothelin (ET) receptor subtypes was studied in the rat proximal tubule. In freshly isolated proximal tubule cells, ET-1, ET-2 and sarafotoxin S6c (S6c) evoked an increase in 1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG), inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) and phosphocholine (PCho), suggesting stimulation of both phosphatidyl-inositol 4,5-bisphosphate- and phosphatidyl-choline-specific phospholipase C (PLC), while ET-3 increased only DAG and PCho, presumably via phosphatidyl-choline-dependent PLC. Renal cortical slices were also stimulated by the above-mentioned agonists, followed by isolation of either brush border (BBM) or basolateral (BLM) membranes for which mass measurements of inositol lipids and DAG were performed. In BBM, DAG increased in response to ET-1, ET-2 and ET-3, and was followed by protein kinase C (PKC) translocation to the BBM, while in BLM, DAG formation and translocation of PKC were observed only in response to ET-3, suggesting spatial segregation of signalling systems between two membane domains of proximal tubule cells. Tyrphostine, pertussis toxin (PTX) or cholera toxin (CTX) did not influence ET-mediated signalling in either of the membranes, suggesting involvement of PTX- and CTX-insensitive G-protein-mediated stimulation of PLCbeta by ET receptors. ET-dependent stimulation of PLC in BBM and BLM was used as a tool to examine the presence of different ET receptor subtypes in these two cell membrane domains. BQ123, an inhibitor of ETA receptors, did not prevent ET-1-mediated signalling in BBM, but an ETA,B antagonist, bosentan, inhibited ET-3-mediated signalling in BBM. In addition, an ETB agonist, S6c, stimulated PLC in BBM. Neither BQ123 nor bosentan inhibited ET-3 signalling in BLM. Therefore, these data strongly suggest the presence of ETB receptors coupled to phosphatidyl-inositol 4,5-bisphosphate- and phosphatidyl-choline-dependent PLC in BBM and ETC receptors linked to phosphatidyl-choline-dependent PLC in BLM.

Abstract
In ileal Na+ absorptive cells, carbachol inhibits NaCl absorption and its component brush-border Na+/H+ exchanger, acting via basolateral membrane (BLM) receptors. This carbachol effect involves brush-border but not BLM protein kinase C. In the present work we describe another asymmetric aspect of signal transduction in these epithelial cells, this time involving phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2)-specific phospholipase C (PLC). Thirty seconds and 1 min after carbachol treatment, brush-border PIP2-specific PLC activity increased, returning to control levels by 2.5 min. Involvement of brush-border tyrosine kinase(s) in this effect was suggested by inhibition of the carbachol effect on NaCl absorption by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein, added to the mucosal but not the serosal surface. Luminal genistein pretreatment also prevented the carbachol-induced increase in brush-border PLC activity. In contrast, carbachol exposure did not change the BLM PIP2-specific PLC activity. Western analysis and immunoprecipitation demonstrated that PLC-gamma 1 is present in the brush border and that carbachol increases the PLC-gamma 1 amount in the brush border. Both the brush border and BLM contain PLC-beta 3 and a small amount of PLC-delta 1 but no PLC-beta 1, whereas BLM lacks detectable PLC-gamma 1. No change in PLC-beta 3 or PLC-delta 1 amount in the brush border occurred with carbachol exposure. No change in tyrosine phosphorylation of brush-border PLC-gamma 1 occurred with carbachol treatment. The Ca2+ ionophore A23187 did not alter PIP2-specific PLC activity in either the brush border or the BLM. These studies demonstrate that carbachol but not Ca2+ ionophore effects on brush-border NaCl absorption are associated with increases in brush-border but not BLM PIP2-specific PLC activity and in the amount of brush-border PLC-gamma 1, and involve tyrosine phosphorylation. This asymmetric aspect of epithelial signal transduction, together with the previous demonstration of localization of high-sensitivity IP3 stores to the apical membrane area in intestinal epithelial cells, shows that different aspects of signal transduction occur at the apical and basolateral membranes in epithelial and requires studies in both domains to define mechanisms of intracellular signalling.

Abstract
The process of signal transduction responsible for the phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate mediated increase in the colony-forming potential of murine (CBA) bone marrow cells was studied using known modulators of the mitogenic signal. Pretreatment of cells for 60 minutes with staurosporine (1 mumol/l), an inhibitor of protein kinase C, completely prevented colony formation in the control group of cells and significantly reduced the number of colonies formed in the phorbol ester-treated group. Brief exposure (60 min) of cells to the phospholipase A2 inhibitors, mepacrine (500 mumol/l) and heparin (1 g/l), reduced the number of colonies formed in the control group and completely abolished the increase in the number of colonies formed after treatment of the cells with phorbol ester. When inhibitors of protein kinase C or phospholipase A2 were present during the entire period of the colony forming assay (7 days), no colonies could be scored in either the control or phorbol ester-treated groups of bone marrow cells. Long-term treatment or temporary exposure (60 min) of cells to indomethacin (50 mumol/l), an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase, or nordihydroguaiaretic acid (50 mumol/l), an inhibitor of lipoxygenase, had no effect on colony formation in both groups. Pretreatment of cells for 45 min with calcium ionophore A23187 (10 mumol/l) failed to increase the number of colonies, compared with the control group. Moreover, simultaneous treatment of cells for 45 min with phorbol ester (500 nmol/l) and A23187 (10 mumol) did not produce any further increase in the number of colonies, compared with the phorbol ester-treated group, suggesting that elevation of intracellular calcium is unimportant in the phorbol ester-mediated response. Dibutyryl cyclic adenosine monophosphate (50 mumol/l) in the presence or absence of phorbol ester, failed to stimulate colony formation, indicating that cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases are not involved in the signalling process. Temporary exposure (75 min) of bone marrow cells to okadaic acid (1 mumol/l), a potent inhibitor of serine/threonine phosphatases, or to tyrphostine AG-115 (20 mumol/l), a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, did not effect colony growth in the control or phorbol ester-treated group. The results indicate that phospholipase A2 activation is involved in the phorbol ester-mediated increase in colony formation, since, of the different agents applied, only staurosporine, an inhibitor of protein kinase C, and mepacrine and heparin, putative inhibitors of phospholipase A2, were capable of abolishing phorbol ester-mediated effects.

Abstract
Adhesive interactions play critical roles in directing the migration, proliferation, and differentiation of cells; aberrations in such interactions can lead to pathological disorders. These adhesive interactions, mediated by cell surface receptors that bind to ligands on adjacent cells or in the extracellular matrix, also regulate intracellular signal transduction pathways that control adhesion-induced changes in cell physiology. Though the extracellular molecular interactions involving many adhesion receptors have been well characterized, the adhesion-dependent intracellular signaling events that regulate these physiological alterations have only begun to be elucidated. This article will focus on recent advances in our understanding of intracellular signal transduction pathways regulated by the integrin family of adhesion receptors.
