Abstract
The use of nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as drug delivery vehicles has attracted considerable attention in tumor therapy. In this study, novel biocompatible MOF-based nanocarriers were used as part of a facile and reproducible strategy for precision cancer theranostics. Both diagnostic (Mn2+) and therapeutic compounds (doxorubicin, DOX) were incorporated into the multifunctional MOF-based nanocarriers, which exhibited high colloidal stability and promoted T1-weighted proton relaxivity and low-pH-activated drug release. The obtained MOF-based nanocarriers exhibited significantly high cellular uptake and efficient intracellular drug delivery into cancer cells, which resulted in high apoptosis and cytotoxicity, in addition to effectively inhibiting the migration of 4T1 breast cancer cells. Moreover, the MOF-based nanocarriers could intensively deliver diagnostic and therapeutic agents to tumors to enable precise visualization of the nanocarrier accumulation and accurate tumor positioning, diagnosis, and imaging-guided therapy using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In addition, the functional MOF-based nanocarriers exhibited effective ablation of the primary breast cancer, as well as significant inhibition of lung metastasis with a high survival rate. Therefore, the developed nanocarriers represent a viable platform for cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Although vitamin D is critical for the function of the intestine, most studies have focused on the duodenum. We show that transgenic expression of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) only in the distal intestine of VDR null mice (KO/TG mice) results in the normalization of serum calcium and rescue of rickets. Although it had been suggested that calcium transport in the distal intestine involves a paracellular process, we found that the 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3]-activated genes in the proximal intestine associated with active calcium transport (Trpv6, S100g, and Atp2b1) are also induced by 1,25(OH)2D3 in the distal intestine of KO/TG mice. In addition, Slc30a10, encoding a manganese efflux transporter, was one of the genes most induced by 1,25(OH)2D3 in both proximal and distal intestine. Both villus and crypt were found to express Vdr and VDR target genes. RNA sequence (RNA-seq) analysis of human enteroids indicated that the effects of 1,25(OH)2D3 observed in mice are conserved in humans. Using Slc30a10-/- mice, a loss of cortical bone and a marked decrease in S100g and Trpv6 in the intestine was observed. Our findings suggest an interrelationship between vitamin D and intestinal Mn efflux and indicate the importance of distal intestinal segments to vitamin D action.

Analysis of Mrgprb2 Receptor-Evoked Ca 2+ Signaling in Bone Marrow Derived (BMMC) and Peritoneal (PMC) Mast Cells of TRPC-Deficient Mice. Front Immunol 2020; 11:564.

Abstract
Mast cells are a heterogeneous group of immune cells. The simplest and commonly accepted classification divides them in two groups according to their protease content. We have compared the action of diverse secretagogues on bone marrow derived (BMMC) and peritoneal (PMC) mast cells which represent classical models of mucosal and connective tissue type mast cells in mice. Whereas, antigen stimulation of the FcεRI receptors was similarly effective in triggering elevations of free intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in both BMMC and PMC, robust [Ca2+]i rise following Endothelin-1 stimulation was observed only in a fraction of BMMC. Leukotriene C4 activating cysteinyl leukotriene type I receptors failed to evoke [Ca2+]i rise in either mast cell model. Stimulation of the recently identified target of many small-molecule drugs associated with systemic pseudo-allergic reactions, Mrgprb2, with compound 48/80, a mast cell activator with unknown receptor studied for many years, triggered Ca2+ oscillations in BMMC and robust [Ca2+]i rise in PMCs similarly to that evoked by FcεRI stimulation. [Ca2+]i rise in PMC could also be evoked by other Mrgprb2 agonists such as Tubocurarine, LL-37, and Substance P. The extent of [Ca2+]i rise correlated with mast cell degranulation. Expression analysis of TRPC channels as potential candidates mediating agonist evoked Ca2+ entry revealed the presence of transcripts of all members of the TRPC subfamily of TRP channels in PMCs. The amplitude and AUC of compound 48/80-evoked [Ca2+]i rise was reduced by ~20% in PMC from Trpc1/4/6−/− mice compared to Trpc1/4−/− littermatched control mice, whereas FcεRI-evoked [Ca2+]i rise was unaltered. Whole-cell patch clamp recordings showed that the reduction in compound 48/80-evoked [Ca2+]i rise in Trpc1/4/6−/− PMC was accompanied by a reduced amplitude of Compound 48/80-induced cation currents which exhibited typical features of TRPC currents. Together, this study demonstrates that PMC are an appropriate mast cell model to study mechanisms of Mrgprb2 receptor-mediated mast cell activation, and it reveals that TRPC channels contribute at least partially to Mrgprb2-mediated mast cellactivation but not following FcεRI stimulation. However, the channels conducting most of the Ca2+ entry in mast cells triggered by Mrgprb2 receptor stimulation remains to be identified.

The FcεRIβ homologue, MS4A4A, promotes FcεRI signal transduction and store-operated Ca 2+ entry in human mast cells. Cell Signal 2020; 71:109617.

Abstract
Members of the membrane spanning 4A (MS4A) gene family are clustered around 11q12-13, a region linked to allergy and asthma susceptibility. Other than the known functions of FcεRIβ (MS4A2) and CD20 (MS4A1) in mast cell and B cell signaling, respectively, functional studies for the remaining MS4A proteins are lacking. We thus explored whether MS4A4A, a mast cell expressed homologue of FcεRIβ, has related functions to FcεRIβ in FcεRI signaling. We establish in this study that MS4A4A promotes phosphorylation of PLCγ1, calcium flux and degranulation in response to IgE-mediated crosslinking of FcεRI. We previously demonstrated that MS4A4A promotes recruitment of KIT into caveolin-1-enriched microdomains and signaling through PLCγ1. Caveolin-1 itself is an important regulator of IgE-dependent store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) and promotes expression of the store-operated Ca2+ channel pore-forming unit, Orai1. We thus further report that MS4A4A functions through interaction with caveolin-1 and recruitment of FcεRI and KIT into lipid rafts. In addition to proximal FcεRI signaling, we similarly show that MS4A4A regulates Orai1-mediated calcium entry downstream of calcium release from stores. Both MS4A4A and Orai1 had limited effects with compound 48/80 stimulation, demonstrating some degree of selectivity of both proteins to FcεRI receptor signaling over Mas-related G Protein coupled receptor X2 signaling. Overall, our data are consistent with the conclusion that MS4A4A performs a related function to the homologous FcεRIβ to promote PLCγ1 signaling, SOCE, and degranulation through FcεRI in human mast cells and thus represents a new target in the regulation of IgE-mediated mast cell activation.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels constitute a group of receptor-operated calcium-permeable nonselective cation channels of the TRP superfamily. The seven mammalian TRPC members, which can be further divided into four subgroups (TRPC1, TRPC2, TRPC4/5, and TRPC3/6/7) based on their amino acid sequences and functional similarities, contribute to a broad spectrum of cellular functions and physiological roles. Studies have revealed complexity of their regulation involving several components of the phospholipase C pathway, Gi and Go proteins, and internal Ca2+ stores. Recent advances in cryogenic electron microscopy have provided several high-resolution structures of TRPC channels. Growing evidence demonstrates the involvement of TRPC channels in diseases, particularly the link between genetic mutations of TRPC6 and familial focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. Because TRPCs were discovered by the molecular identity first, their pharmacology had lagged behind. This is rapidly changing in recent years owning to great efforts from both academia and industry. A number of potent tool compounds from both synthetic and natural products that selective target different subtypes of TRPC channels have been discovered, including some preclinical drug candidates. This review will cover recent advancements in the understanding of TRPC channel regulation, structure, and discovery of novel TRPC small molecular probes over the past few years, with the goal of facilitating drug discovery for the study of TRPCs and therapeutic development.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive human brain cancer with low prognosis and therefore the discovery of new anticancer agents is needful. Sulfydryl reagents, such as silver, have been shown to induce membrane vesiculation in several cellular models through a mechanism that has not been yet completely clarified. Using U251 glioblastoma cells, we observed that silver induced irreversible bleb formation of the plasma membrane. This morphological event was anticipated by an increase of intracellular Ca2+ associated to extracellular Ca2+ influx. Accordingly, using patch-clamp whole cell recording during silver ion application, inward current/s (IAg) at -90 mV were detected and cells were permeable to Ca2+ and monovalent ions such as Na+. IAg activation and the intracellular Ca2+ increase promoted by silver ions (Ag+) were prevented by co-application of 20 µM cysteine and 300 µM DIDS (4,4'-Diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid), suggesting a critical role of thiol groups in the biological effects of silver ions. IAg was partially inhibited by 1 mM Gd3+, an unspecific inhibitor of cationic currents. Cysteine, Gd3+ and extracellular free Ca2+ solution completely abolished blebbing formation promoted by Ag+. Furthermore, extracellular Na+ ion replacement with TEA or an increase of extracellular tonicity by sucrose (100 mM) reduced both size and growth of membrane blebbing. Our data suggest that Ag+ promotes the formation necrotic blebs as consequence of the increase of intracellular Ca2+ and intracellular hydrostatic pressure associated to the activation of cationic currents. Since silver-induced blebs were less evident in benign glial human Müller MIO-M1 cells, silver compounds could represent new adjuvant to anticancer agents to improve GBM therapies.

Abstract
Mast cells (MCs) are important effectors in allergic reactions since they produce a number of pre-formed and de novo synthesized pro-inflammatory compounds in response to the high affinity IgE receptor (FcεRI) crosslinking. IgE/Antigen-dependent degranulation and cytokine synthesis in MCs have been recognized as relevant pharmacological targets for the control of deleterious inflammatory reactions. Despite the relevance of allergic diseases worldwide, efficient pharmacological control of mast cell degranulation has been elusive. In this work, the xanthone jacareubin was isolated from the heartwood of the tropical tree Callophyllum brasilense, and its tridimensional structure was determined for the first time by X-ray diffraction. Also, its effects on the main activation parameters of bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs) were evaluated. Jacareubin inhibited IgE/Ag-induced degranulation in a dose-response manner with an IC50 = 46 nM. It also blocked extracellular calcium influx triggered by IgE/Ag complexes and by the SERCA ATPase inhibitor thapsigargin (Thap). Inhibition of calcium entry correlated with a blockage on the reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation. Antioxidant capacity of jacareubin was higher than the showed by α-tocopherol and caffeic acid, but similar to trolox. Jacareubin shown inhibitory actions on xanthine oxidase, but not on NADPH oxidase (NOX) activities. In vivo, jacareubin inhibited passive anaphylactic reactions and TPA-induced edema in mice. Our data demonstrate that jacareubin is a potent natural compound able to inhibit anaphylactic degranualtion in mast cells by blunting FcεRI-induced calcium flux needed for secretion of granule content, and suggest that xanthones could be efficient anti-oxidant, antiallergic, and antiinflammatory molecules.

Abstract
P2Y receptor activation causes the release of inflammatory cytokines in the bronchial epithelium, whereas G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER), a novel estrogen (E2) receptor, may play an anti-inflammatory role in this process. We investigated the cellular mechanisms underlying the inhibitory effect of GPER activation on the P2Y receptor-mediated Ca2+ signaling pathway and cytokine production in airway epithelia. Expression of GPER in primary human bronchial epithelial (HBE) or 16HBE14o- cells was confirmed on both the mRNA and protein levels. Stimulation of HBE or 16HBE14o- cells with E2 or G1, a specific agonist of GPER, attenuated the nucleotide-evoked increases in [Ca2+]i, whereas this effect was reversed by G15, a GPER-specific antagonist. G1 inhibited the secretion of two proinflammatory cytokines, interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8, in cells stimulated by adenosine 5′-(γ-thio)triphosphate (ATPγS). G1 stimulated a real-time increase in cAMP levels in 16HBE14o- cells, which could be inhibited by adenylyl cyclase inhibitors. The inhibitory effects of E2 or G1 on P2Y receptor-induced increases in Ca2+ were reversed by treating the cells with a protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor. These results demonstrated that the inhibitory effects of G1 or E2 on P2Y receptor-mediated Ca2+ mobilization and cytokine secretion were due to GPER-mediated activation of a cAMP-dependent PKA pathway. This study has reported, for the first time, the expression and function of GPER as an anti-inflammatory component in human bronchial epithelia, which may mediate through its opposing effects on the pro‐inflammatory pathway activated by the P2Y receptors in inflamed airway epithelia.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the inhibitory effects of dexamethasone and heparin on the infiltration of mast cells in the conjunctiva by using a mouse allergic conjunctivitis model. METHODS 24 Balb/c mice were divided into four groups: allergy group (positive control), dexamethasone group, heparin group, and negative control group, as groups 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. Each group comprised 6 mice, and experimental allergic conjunctivitis was developed in groups 1, 2, and 3. The mice in group 2 were treated with topical 0.1% dexamethasone eye ointment, and the mice in group 3 were treated topically with 5,000 IU/ml standard heparin. Both dexamethasone and heparin were instilled once a day for 4 days. Hanks' balanced salt solution was dropped into both eyes of the mice in group 4 instead of dexamethasone or heparin. Eyeballs and eyelids were removed from the mice in all groups while one eye of each animal was used for histopathological, the other for molecular biological examination. RESULTS Mast cells, infiltrating the subconjunctival tissue, were significantly lower in group 2 (p < 0.0001), group 3 (p < 0.0001) and group 4 (p < 0.0001) when compared to group 1. CONCLUSIONS Topical heparin could be a viable option in treating IgE-induced allergic eye disease since it is found to be as effective as topical dexamethasone in experimental acute allergic eye disease.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential (TRP) proteins form cation channels that are regulated through strikingly diverse mechanisms including multiple cell surface receptors, changes in temperature, in pH and osmolarity, in cytosolic free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)), and by phosphoinositides which makes them polymodal sensors for fine tuning of many cellular and systemic processes in the body. The 28 TRP proteins identified in mammals are classified into six subfamilies: TRPC, TRPV, TRPM, TRPA, TRPML, and TRPP. When activated, they contribute to cell depolarization and Ca(2+) entry. In mast cells, the increase of [Ca(2+)](i) is fundamental for their biological activity, and several entry pathways for Ca(2+) and other cations were described including Ca(2+) release activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channels. Like in other non-excitable cells, TRP channels could directly contribute to Ca(2+) influx via the plasma membrane as constituents of Ca(2+) conducting channel complexes or indirectly by shifting the membrane potential and regulation of the driving force for Ca(2+) entry through independent Ca(2+) entry channels. Here, we summarize the current knowledge about the expression of individual Trp genes with the majority of the 28 members being yet identified in different mast cell models, and we highlight mechanisms how they can regulate mast cell functions. Since specific agonists or blockers are still lacking for most members of the TRP family, studies to unravel their function and activation mode still rely on experiments using genetic approaches and transgenic animals. RNAi approaches suggest a functional role for TRPC1, TRPC5, and TRPM7 in mast cell derived cell lines or primary mast cells, and studies using Trp gene knock-out mice reveal a critical role for TRPM4 in mast cell activation and for mast cell mediated cutaneous anaphylaxis, whereas a direct role of cold- and menthol-activated TRPM8 channels seems to be unlikely for the development of cold urticaria at least in mice.

Abstract
Normal rat kidney (NRK) fibroblasts exhibit growth-dependent changes in electrophysiological properties and intracellular calcium dynamics. The transition from a quiescent state to a density-arrested state results in altered calcium entry characteristics. This coincides with modulation of the expression of the genes encoding the calcium channels Trpc1, Trpc6 and Orai1, and of the intracellular calcium sensor Stim1. In the present study we have used gene selective short hairpin (sh) RNAs against these various genes to investigate their role in (a) capacitative store-operated calcium entry (SOCE); (b) non-capacitative OAG-induced receptor-operated calcium entry (ROCE); and (c) prostaglandin F(2α) (PGF(2α))-induced Ca(2+)-oscillations in NRK fibroblasts. Intracellular calcium measurements revealed that knockdown of the genes encoding Trpc1, Orai1 and Stim1 each caused a significant reduction of SOCE in NRK cells, whereas knockdown of the gene encoding Trpc6 reduced only the OAG-induced ROCE. Furthermore, our data show that knockdown of the genes encoding Trpc1, Orai1 and Stim1, but not Trpc6, substantially reduced the frequency (up to 60%) of PGF(2α)-induced Ca(2+) oscillations in NRK cells. These results indicate that in NRK cells distinct calcium channels control the processes of SOCE, ROCE and PGF(2α)-induced Ca(2+) oscillations.

Abstract
A calcium signal is essential for degranulation, generation of eicosanoids and optimal production of cytokines in mast cells in response to antigen and other stimulants. The signal is initiated by phospholipase C-mediated production of inositol1,4,5-trisphosphate resulting in release of stored Ca(2+) from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi. Depletion of these stores activates influx of extracellular Ca(2+), usually referred to as store-operated calcium entry (SOCE), through the interaction of the Ca(2+)-sensor, stromal interacting molecule-1 (STIM1 ), in ER with Orai1(CRACM1) and transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channel proteins in the plasma membrane (PM). This interaction is enabled by microtubular-directed reorganization of ER to form ER/PM contact points or "punctae" in which STIM1 and channel proteins colocalize. The ensuing influx of Ca(2+) replenishes Ca(2+) stores and sustains elevated levels of cytosolic Ca(2+) ions-the obligatory signal for mast-cell activation. In addition, the signal can acquire spatial and dynamic characteristics (e.g., calcium puffs, waves, oscillations) that encode signals for specific functional outputs. This is achieved by coordinated regulation of Ca(2+) fluxes through ATP-dependent Ca(2+)-pumps and ion exchangers in mitochondria, ER and PM. As discussed in this chapter, studies in mast cells revealed much about the mechanisms described above but little about allergic and autoimmune diseases although studies in other types of cells have exposed genetic defects that lead to aberrant calcium signaling in immune diseases. Pharmacologic agents that inhibit or activate the regulatory components of calcium signaling in mast cells are also discussed along with the prospects for development of novel SOCE inhibitors that may prove beneficial in the treatment inflammatory mast-cell related diseases.

Abstract
Heavy metals, including gold, induce severe contact hypersensitivity and autoimmune disorders, which develop through an initial Th2-independent process followed by a Th2-dependent process. It has been shown that mast cell activation plays a role in the Th2-independent process and that gold stimulates histamine release in vitro. However, the mechanisms of the gold-induced mast cell activation remain largely unclear. Here we report that gold directly activates mast cells in a Ca2+-dependent manner. HAuCl4 [Au(III)] at nontoxic concentrations (≤50 μM) induced substantial degranulation and leukotriene C4 secretion in an extracellular Ca2+-dependent manner. Au(III) induced a robust Ca2+ influx but not Ca2+ mobilization from internal stores. Au(III) also stimulated intracellular production of reactive oxygen species, including H2O2, and blockade of the production abolished the mediator release and Ca2+ influx. Au(III) induced Ca2+ influx through multiple store-independent Ca2+ channels, including Cav1.2 L-type Ca2+ channels (LTCCs) and 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB)-sensitive Ca2+ channels. The 2-APB-sensitive channel seemed to mediate Au(III)-induced degranulation. Our results indicate that gold stimulates Ca2+ influx and mediator release in mast cells through multiple H2O2-sensitive Ca2+ channels including LTCCs and 2-APB-sensitive Ca2+ channels. These findings provide insight into the roles of these Ca2+ channels in the Th2-independent process of gold-induced immunological disorders.

Abstract
Mast cells are activated by specific allergens and also by various nonspecific stimuli, which might induce physical urticaria. This study investigated the functional expression of temperature sensitive transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) subfamily in the human mast cell line (HMC-1) using whole-cell patch clamp techniques. The temperature of perfusate was raised from room temperature (RT, 23~25℃ to a moderately high temperature (MHT, 37~39℃ to activate TRPV3/4, a high temperature (HT, 44~46℃ to activate TRPV1, or a very high temperature (VHT, 53~55℃ to activate TRPV2. The membrane conductance of HMC-1 was increased by MHT and HT in about 50% (21 of 40) of the tested cells, and the I/V curves showed weak outward rectification. VHT-induced current was 10-fold larger than those induced by MHT and HT. The application of the TRPV4 activator 4α-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate (4αPDD, 1µM) induced weakly outward rectifying currents similar to those induced by MHT. However, the TRPV3 agonist camphor or TRPV1 agonist capsaicin had no effect. RT-PCR analysis of HMC-1 demonstrated the expression of TRPV4 as well as potent expression of TRPV2. The [Ca(2+)](c) of HMC-1 cells was also increased by MHT or by 4αPDD. In summary, our present study indicates that HMC-1 cells express Ca(2+)-permeable TRPV4 channels in addition to the previously reported expression of TRPV2 with a higher threshold of activating temperature.

Abstract
Manganese-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MEMRI) is a novel imaging technique capable of monitoring calcium influx, in vivo. Manganese (Mn2+) ions, similar to calcium ions (Ca2+), are taken up by activated cells where their paramagnetic properties afford signal enhancement in T(1)-weighted MRI methodologies. In this study we have assessed Mn2+ distribution in mice using magnetization-prepared rapid gradient echo (MP-RAGE) based MRI, by measuring changes in T(1)-effective relaxation times (T(1)-eff), effective R(1)-relaxation rates (R(1)-eff) and signal intensity (SI) profiles over time. The manganese concentration in the tissue was also determined using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). Our results show a strong positive correlation between infused dose of MnCl2 and the tissue manganese concentration. Furthermore, we demonstrate a linear relationship between R(1)-eff and tissue manganese concentration and tissue-specific Mn2+ distribution in murine tissues following dose-dependent Mn2+ administration. This data provides an optimized MnCl2 dose regimen for an MP-RAGE based sequence protocol for specific target organs and presents a potential 3D MRI technique for in vivo imaging of Ca2+ entry during Ca2+-dependent processes in a wide range of tissues.

Abstract
Ca(2+) is a highly versatile intracellular second messenger in many cell types, and regulates many complicated cellular processes, including cell activation, proliferation and apoptosis. Influx of Ca(2+) from the extracellular fluid is required for sustained elevation of the cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration and full activation of Ca(2+)-dependent processes. It is widely accepted that Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) channels are the major routes of Ca(2+) influx in electrically non-excitable cells, including hematopoietic cells, whereas voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels such as L-type Ca(2+) channels (LTCCs) serve as the principal routes of Ca(2+) entry into electrically excitable cells such as neurons and myocytes. However, recent pharmacological and molecular genetic studies have revealed the existence of functional LTCCs and/or LTCC-like channels in a variety of immune cells including mast cells. In this article, we review recent advances in our understanding of Ca(2+) signaling in immune cells with a special interest in mast cells. We highlight roles for LTCCs in antigen receptor-mediated mast cell activation and survival.

Abstract
Calcium signals mediate diverse cellular functions in immunological cells. Early studies with mast cells, then a preeminent model for studying Ca2+-dependent exocytosis, revealed several basic features of calcium signaling in non-electrically excitable cells. Subsequent studies in these and other cells further defined the basic processes such as inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-mediated release of Ca2+ from Ca2+ stores in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER); coupling of ER store depletion to influx of external Ca2+ through a calcium-release activated calcium (CRAC) channel now attributed to the interaction of the ER Ca2+ sensor, stromal interacting molecule-1 (STIM1), with a unique Ca2+-channel protein, Orai1/CRACM1, and subsequent uptake of excess Ca2+ into ER and mitochondria through ATP-dependent Ca2+ pumps. In addition, transient receptor potential channels and ion exchangers also contribute to the generation of calcium signals that may be global or have dynamic (e.g., waves and oscillations) and spatial resolution for specific functional readouts. This review discusses past and recent developments in this field of research, the pharmacologic agents that have assisted in these endeavors, and the mast cell as an exemplar for sorting out how calcium signals may regulate multiple outputs in a single cell.

Abstract
Two experiments were conducted with 28-day-old male commercial broilers to study mechanisms of Mn absorption and the effect of Mn treatment on divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) mRNA levels in ligated segments from different intestinal regions of broilers. The results from experiment 1 showed that the amount of Mn absorption was asymptotic with respect to time within 40 min after perfusion of the duodenal, jejunal, and ileal segments of broilers with 2.18 mmol/L of Mn as MnSO(4). In experiment 2, a kinetic study of Mn absorption was performed with duodenal, jejunal, and ileal loops perfused with solutions containing 0, 0.13, 0.27, 0.54, 1.09, 2.18, 4.37, or 8.74 mmol/L of Mn as MnSO(4). Manganese concentrations in perfusates were determined at 5 min after perfusion. In the control group and in the group treated with 2.18 mmol/L Mn as MnSO(4), DMT1 mRNA levels of ligated intestinal regions at 30 min after perfusion were analyzed by real-time reverse transcription PCR. The kinetic curves of Mn absorption showed that Mn absorption was a carrier-mediated process in the duodenum and jejunum. The maximum absorption rate (J(max)) in duodenal segments was greater (P < 0.05) than that in the jejunum (94.08 vs. 81.17 nmol/cm per min). There was no significant difference (P = 0.85) in the Michaelis-Menten constant (K(m)) values between the duodenum and jejunum (3.41 vs. 3.60 mmol/L). In the ileum of Mn-deficient broilers, the most probable mechanism of Mn absorption was a nonsaturable diffusion process, and the diffusive constant (P; means +/- SE) was 2.42 x 10(-2) +/- 5.22 x 10(-4) cm(2)/min. The DMT1 mRNA levels in the duodenum and jejunum of broilers were greater (P < 0.001) than the level in the ileum. The DMT1 mRNA level in the small intestine of broilers in the Mn treatment group decreased significantly (P < 0.001) compared with that of the control. The different mechanisms of Mn absorption found in different intestinal segments suggest that the ileum is the main site of Mn absorption in the small intestine of broilers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Vasoactive substances such as histamine, acetylcholine or ATP increase the [Ca2+]i of endothelial cells, which leads to the activation of nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). The NO produced by this enzyme relaxes the underlying smooth muscle. Evidence suggests that eNOS activation is dependent on agonist-induced Ca2+ entry. Recently we have shown that in human endothelial cells (HUVEC), this Ca2+ entry is sensitive to isoflurane. The objective here was to study the mechanism by which volatile anaesthetics can depress the histamine-induced Ca2+ entry into HUVEC cells. METHODS HUVECs on coverslips were loaded with the Ca2+ indicator Fluo-3 and inserted in a gastight, temperature-controlled perfusion chamber. Excitation was at 488 nm and fluorescence signals were monitored with a confocal laser scanning microscope (MRC1024, Biorad). Direct measurement of the Ca2+ influx was with Mn2+ as surrogate for calcium at 360 nm in cells loaded with Fura-2. RESULTS Addition of histamine induces a biphasic [Ca2+]i increase consisting of Ca2+ release from internal stores and a Ca2+ influx from the external medium (plateau phase). The plateau phase was dose-dependently inhibited by enflurane and sevoflurane (13.7 resp. 21.9% inhibition by 1 MAC anaesthetic). Direct measurement of the Ca2+ influx using the Mn2+ quench of the Fura-2 fluorescence gave similar results. The inhibition of the anaesthetics was not reduced by inhibition of the cGMP pathway, inactivation of protein kinase C, depolarization of the cells or the presence of specific Ca2+-dependent K+ channel inhibitors. Interestingly, unsaturated fatty acids inhibit the histamine-induced Ca2+ influx in a similar way as the volatile anaesthetics. CONCLUSIONS Volatile anaesthetics dose-dependently inhibit the histamine-induced Ca2+ influx in HUVECs by a mechanism that may involve unspecific perturbation of the lipid bilayer.

Abstract
Mast cells play a significant role in the pathophysiology of many diverse diseases such as asthma and pulmonary fibrosis. Ca2+ influx is essential for mast cell degranulation and release of proinflammatory mediators, while Mg2+ plays an important role in cellular homeostasis. The channels supporting divalent cation influx in human mast cells have not been identified, but candidate channels include the transient receptor potential melastatin (TRPM) family. In this study, we have investigated TRPM7 expression and function in primary human lung mast cells (HLMCs) and in the human mast cell lines LAD2 and HMC-1, using RT-PCR, patch clamp electrophysiology, and RNA interference. Whole cell voltage-clamp recordings revealed a nonselective cation current that activated spontaneously following loss of intracellular Mg2+. The current had a nonlinear current-voltage relationship with the characteristic steep outward rectification associated with TRPM7 channels. Reducing external divalent concentration from 3 to 0.3 mM dramatically increased the size of the outward current, whereas the current was markedly inhibited by elevated intracellular Mg2+ (6 mM). Ion substitution experiments revealed cation selectivity and Ca2+ permeability. RT-PCR confirmed the presence of mRNA for TRPM7 in HLMC, LAD2, and HMC-1 cells. Adenoviral-mediated knockdown of TRPM7 in HLMC with short hairpin RNA and in HMC-1 with short interfering RNA markedly reduced TRPM7 currents and induced cell death, an effect that was not rescued by raising extracellular Mg2+. In summary, HLMC and human mast cell lines express the nonselective cation channel TRPM7 whose presence is essential for cell survival.

Abstract
Manganese (Mn) is an essential nutrient required for proper growth and maintenance of numerous biological systems. At high levels it is known to be neurotoxic. While focused research concerning the transport of Mn across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is on-going, the exact identity of the transporter(s) responsible is still debated. The transferrin receptor (TfR) and the divalent metal transporter-1 (DMT-1) have long been thought to play a role in brain Mn deposition. However, evidence suggests that Mn may also be transported by other proteins. One model system of the BBB, rat brain endothelial (RBE4) cells, are known to express many proteins suspected to be involved in metal transport. This review will discuss the biological importance of Mn, and then briefly describe several proteins that may be involved in transport of this metal across the BBB. The latter section will examine the potential usefulness of RBE4 cells in characterizing various aspects of Mn transport, and basic culture techniques involved in working with these cells. It is hoped that ideas put forth in this article will stimulate further investigations into the complex nature of Mn transport, and address the importance as well as the limitation of in vitro models in answering these questions.

Abstract
Connections from hippocampus to septal nuclei have been implicated in memory loss and the cognitive impairment in Down syndrome (DS). We trace these connections in living mice by Mn(2+) enhanced 3D MRI and compare normal with a trisomic mouse model of DS, Ts65Dn. After injection of 4 nl of 200 mM Mn(2+) into the right hippocampus, Mn(2+) enhanced circuitry was imaged at 0.5, 6, and 24 h in each of 13 different mice by high resolution MRI to detect dynamic changes in signal over time. The pattern of Mn(2+) enhanced signal in vivo correlated with the histologic pattern in fixed brains of co-injected 3kD rhodamine-dextran-amine, a classic tracer. Statistical parametric mapping comparing intensity changes between different time points revealed that the dynamics of Mn(2+) transport in this pathway were surprisingly more robust in DS mice than in littermate controls, with statistically significant intensity changes in DS appearing at earlier time points along expected pathways. This supports reciprocal alterations of transport in the hippocampal-forebrain circuit as being implicated in DS and argues against a general failure of transport. This is the first examination of in vivo transport dynamics in this pathway and the first report of elevated transport in DS.

Abstract
The TRPC (C-type transient receptor potential) class of ion channels has been hypothesized to participate in store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE). Recently, however, STIM1 and Orai1 proteins have been proposed to form SOCE channels. Whether TRPCs participate in SOCE that is dependent on or regulated by Orai has not been explored. Here we show that Orai1 physically interacts with the N and C termini of TRPC3 and TRPC6, and that in cells overexpressing either TRPC3 or TRPC6 in a store-depletion insensitive manner, these TRPCs become sensitive to store depletion upon expression of an exogenous Orai. Thus, Orai-1, -2, and -3 enhanced thapsigargin-induced calcium entry by 50-150% in cells stably overexpressing either TRPC3 or TRPC6. Orai1 expression had no significant effect on endogenous, thapsigargin-induced calcium entry in wild-type cells (HEK-293, COS1), in HEK cells expressing a thapsigargin-sensitive variant of TRPC3 (TRPC3a), or in HEK cells overexpressing another membrane protein, V1aR. Single-channel cation currents present in membrane patches of TRPC3-overexpressing cells were suppressed by expression of Orai1. We propose that Orai proteins by interacting with TRPCs act as regulatory subunits that confer STIM1-mediated store depletion sensitivity to these channels.

Abstract
T cells play a regulatory role in the pathogenesis of various immune and allergic diseases, including human asthma. Recently, it was reported that a pyrazole derivative, YM-58483 (BTP2), potently inhibits Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channels and interleukin (IL)-2 production in T cells. We investigated the effects of YM-58483 on T helper type 2 (Th2) cytokine production in vitro and antigen-induced airway asthmatic responses in vivo. YM-58483 inhibited IL-4 and IL-5 production in a conalbumine-stimulated murine Th2 T cell clone (D10.G4.1), and IL-5 production in phytohemagglutinin-stimulated human whole blood cells with IC(50) values comparable to those reported for its CRAC channel inhibition (around 100 nM). YM-58483 inhibited antigen-induced eosinophil infiltration into airways, and decreased IL-4 and cysteinyl-leukotrienes content in inflammatory airways induced in actively sensitized Brown Norway rats. Furthermore, orally administered YM-58483 prevented antigen-induced late phase asthmatic bronchoconstriction and eosinophil infiltration in actively sensitized guinea pigs. These data suggest that the inhibition of Ca(2+) influx through CRAC channel leads to the prevention of antigen-induced airway inflammation, probably via the inhibition of Th2 cytokine production and inflammatory mediators release. YM-58483 may therefore be useful for treating airway inflammation in bronchial asthma.

Abstract
Mast cells are tissue-resident immune effector cells. They respond to diverse stimuli by releasing potent biological mediators into the surrounding tissue, and initiating inflammatory responses that promote wound healing and infection clearance. In addition to stimulation via immunological routes, mast cells also respond to polybasic secretagogues and physical stimuli. Each mechanism for mast cell activation relies on the influx of calcium through specific ion channels in the plasma membrane. Recent reports suggest that several calcium-permeant cation channels of the TRPV family are expressed in mast cells. TRPV channels are a family of sensors that receive and react to chemical messengers and physical environmental cues, including thermal, osmotic, and mechanical stimuli. The central premise of this review is that TRPVs transduce physiological and pathophysiological cues that are functionally coupled to calcium signaling and mediator release in mast cells. Inappropriate mast cell activation is at the core of numerous inflammatory pathologies, rendering the mast cell TRPV channels potentially important therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE), which is Ca2+ entry triggered by the depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores, has been observed in many cell types, but only recently has it been suggested to occur in cardiomyocytes. In the present study, we have demonstrated SOCE-dependent sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ loading (load(SR)) that was not altered by inhibition of L-type Ca2+ channels, reverse mode Na+/Ca2+ exchange (NCX), or nonselective cation channels. In contrast, lowering the extracellular [Ca2+] to 0 mM or adding either 0.5 mM Zn2+ or the putative store-operated channel (SOC) inhibitor SKF-96365 (100 microM) inhibited load(SR) at rest. Interestingly, inhibition of forward mode NCX with 30 microM KB-R7943 stimulated SOCE significantly and resulted in enhanced load(SR). In addition, manipulation of the extracellular and intracellular Na+ concentrations further demonstrated the modulatory role of NCX in SOCE-mediated SR Ca2+ loading. Although there is little knowledge of SOCE in cardiomyocytes, the present results suggest that this mechanism, together with NCX, may play an important role in SR Ca2+ homeostasis. The data reported herein also imply the presence of microdomains unique to the neonatal cardiomyocyte. These findings may be of particular importance during open heart surgery in neonates, in which uncontrolled SOCE could lead to SR Ca2+ overload and arrhythmogenesis.

Abstract
Morphological, morphometric, histochemical and immunocytochemical investigations on mast cells, located in the wall of ureter of 8 months aged pigs were performed. Mast cells were found in all three layers of ureteral wall, but their distribution was irregular and the number unequal. It was established that alcian blue (AB)-positive mast cells were significantly more than toluidine blue (TB)-positive mast cells. A statistically significant smaller number of both AB and TB-stained mast cells were observed in the tunica mucosa. The largest number of mast cells was found in the tunica muscularis. In the adventitia, mast cells were higher in number in the main connective tissue than in the connective tissue near the blood vessels. Mast cells stained with TB showed variably expressed gamma-metachromasia, which was best visible in those situated in the lamina propria of the mucosa. The prevailing parts of mast cells, however, were AB-positive after AB-safranin staining. This was mostly found in mast cells of the tunica muscularis and in mast cells of perivascular location in the tunica adventitia. Immunocytochemically, mast cells were found to be positive for histamine and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide in the muscle coat, and to histamine in the adventitia, as well. On the basis of obtained results it was presumed that the mast cells in porcine ureter most probably took part not only in keeping of local homeostasis, but played also an important role of mobility of smooth muscle cells in the middle layer of ureter on one hand, and, on the other, in the adventitial blood vessels.

Abstract
Receptor-operated Ca2+ entry (ROCE) and store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) are known to be inhibited by tyrosine kinase inhibitors and activation of C-type transient receptor potential channel (TRPC) isoform 3 (TRPC3), a cation channel thought to be involved in SOCE and/or ROCE, was recently shown to depend on src tyrosine kinase activity. What is not known is the step at which src acts on TRPC3 and whether the role for tyrosine kinases in ROCE or SOCE is a general phenomenon. Using in vitro and in cell protein-protein interaction assays we now report that src phosphorylates TRPC3 at Y226 and that formation of phospho-Y226 is essential for TRPC3 activation. This requirement is unique for TRPC3 because (i) mutation of the cognate tyrosines of the closely related TRPC6 and TRPC7 had no effect; (ii) TRPC6 and TRPC7 were activated in src-, yes-, and fyn-deficient cells; and (iii) src, but not yes or fyn, rescued TRPC3 activation in src-, yes-, and fyn-deficient cells. The Src homology 2 domain of src was found to interact with either the N or the C termini of all TRPCs, suggesting that other tyrosine kinases may play a role in ion fluxes mediated by TRPCs other than TRPC3. A side-by-side comparison of the effects of genistein (a general tyrosine kinase inhibitor) on endogenous ROCE and SOCE in mouse fibroblasts, HEK and COS-7 cells, and ROCE in HEK cells mediated by TRPC3, TRPC6, TRPC7, and TRPC5 showed differences that argue for ROCE and SOCE channels to be heterogeneous.

Abstract
Although the TRPC members of the mammalian transient receptor potential TRP cation channel family were the first to be described in 1995, the depth of knowledge of TRPC channels has fallen behind that of their counterparts in the TRPV and TRPM subfamilies in the intervening years. The complexities and controversies of TRPC channel composition and regulation have hindered their progress as therapeutic targets in the drug discovery environment to date, however embracing these challenges as opportunities may bring TRPC channels to the forefront of the discovery of novel therapies for many diseases. These challenges and opportunities of exploring TRPC channels as therapeutic targets are highlighted and discussed in this review with respect to respiratory diseases.

Abstract
In electrically nonexcitable cells, Ca2+influx is essential for regulating a host of kinetically distinct processes involving exocytosis, enzyme control, gene regulation, cell growth and proliferation, and apoptosis. The major Ca2+entry pathway in these cells is the store-operated one, in which the emptying of intracellular Ca2+stores activates Ca2+influx (store-operated Ca2+entry, or capacitative Ca2+entry). Several biophysically distinct store-operated currents have been reported, but the best characterized is the Ca2+release-activated Ca2+current, ICRAC. Although it was initially considered to function only in nonexcitable cells, growing evidence now points towards a central role for ICRAC-like currents in excitable cells too. In spite of intense research, the signal that relays the store Ca2+content to CRAC channels in the plasma membrane, as well as the molecular identity of the Ca2+sensor within the stores, remains elusive. Resolution of these issues would be greatly helped by the identification of the CRAC channel gene. In some systems, evidence suggests that store-operated channels might be related to TRP homologs, although no consensus has yet been reached. Better understood are mechanisms that inactivate store-operated entry and hence control the overall duration of Ca2+entry. Recent work has revealed a central role for mitochondria in the regulation of ICRAC, and this is particularly prominent under physiological conditions. ICRACtherefore represents a dynamic interplay between endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and plasma membrane. In this review, we describe the key electrophysiological features of ICRACand other store-operated Ca2+currents and how they are regulated, and we consider recent advances that have shed insight into the molecular mechanisms involved in this ubiquitous and vital Ca2+entry pathway.

Abstract
As part of an ongoing search for novel molecules with therapeutic potential we examined the mediator release inhibition activity of a number of indanones and their derivatives. The aldol condensation product 18 was approximately twice as potent as disodium cromoglycate as an inhibitor of compound 48/80-stimulated histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells. The activity of this class of dimeric indanone compound is significantly higher than controls and may represent a new class of mast cell stabilizing agents. Compound 18 has been selected for further biological evaluation of its mast cell stabilization profile.

Abstract
The effect of diazoxide, a K+ channel opener, on apoptotic cell death was investigated in HepG2 human hepatoblastoma cells. Diazoxide induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner and this was evaluated by flow cytometric assays of annexin-V binding and hypodiploid nuclei stained with propidium iodide. Diazoxide did not alter intracellular K+ concentration, and various inhibitors of K+ channels had no influence on the diazoxide-induced apoptosis; this implies that K+ channels activated by diazoxide may be absent in the HepG2 cells. However, diazoxide induced a rapid and sustained increase in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration, and this was completely inhibited by the extracellular Ca(2+) chelation with EGTA, but not by blockers of intracellular Ca(2+) release (dantrolene and TMB-8). This result indicated that the diazoxide-induced increase of intracellular Ca(2+) might be due to the activation of a Ca(2+) influx pathway. Diazoxide-induced Ca(2+) influx was not significantly inhibited by either voltage-operative Ca(2+) channel blockers (nifedipine or verapamil), or by inhibitors of Na+, Ca(2+)-exchanger (bepridil and benzamil), but it was inhibited by flufenamic acid (FA), a Ca(2+)-permeable nonselective cation channel blocker. A quantitative analysis of apoptosis by flow cytometry revealed that a treatment with either FA or BAPTA, an intracellular Ca(2+) chelator, significantly inhibited the diazoxide-induced apoptosis. Taken together, these results suggest that the observed diazoxide-induced apoptosis in the HepG2 cells may result from a Ca(2+) influx through the activation of Ca(2+)-permeable non-selective cation channels. These results are very significant, and they lead us to further suggest that diazoxide may be valuable for the therapeutic intervention of human hepatomas.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Although isoflurane is a known vasodilator, the mechanism of isoflurane-induced vasodilation is not clear. One of the most important systems in this context is the nitric oxide (NO)-mediated vasodilation. The activity of this system is regulated by the agonist-induced Ca(2+) influx rather than Ca(2+) release from internal stores. A number of reports have studied the effect of volatile anesthetics on the cytoplasmic calcium concentration signaling in mammalian endothelial cells. However, similar studies using human endothelial cells are lacking. In this study, therefore, we investigated whether isoflurane affects the histamine-induced Ca(2+) influx in primary cultures of human endothelial cells. Using confocal laser scanning microscopy and cells loaded with the Ca(2+) indicator Fluo-3, we studied the effect of isoflurane on the plateau phase of the histamine-induced Ca(2+) influx, which is considered to be due to capacitative Ca(2+) entry. In addition, we measured the ion flux through capacitative Ca(2+) channels directly by using Mn(2+) ions, which, on entering the cell, quench the Fura-2 fluorescence. The results of these two methods were in close agreement and showed a dose-dependent inhibition of the capacitative Ca(2+) entry by isoflurane. Isoflurane apparently depresses NO-mediated vasodilation when the observed inhibition is not compensated for downstream of the endothelial NO synthase activation. IMPLICATIONS In response to vasoactive agents, endothelial cells produce nitric oxide (NO), which relaxes the underlying smooth muscle cells. Inhaled anesthetics inhibit this system by an unknown mechanism. Using primary human endothelial cells, we showed that the anesthetic isoflurane depresses a Ca(2+) influx, which is responsible for the activation of the endothelial NO synthase.

Abstract
The membrane-permeable, noncompetitive inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)-receptor inhibitor 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borane (2-APB) has been widely used to probe for IP3-receptor involvement in calcium signaling pathways. However, a number of recent studies in different cell types revealed other sites of action of 2-APB. In this study, we examined the influence of 2-APB on capacitative calcium entry and intracellular Ca2+ concentrations in rat basophilic leukemia (RBL-2H3 m1) cells. 2-APB was found to inhibit capacitative calcium entry, but at concentrations greater than 50 microM, a new effect of 2-APB was observed. When capacitative calcium entry was blocked with Gd3+, 2-APB caused an increase in cytoplasmic Ca2+. This increase in intracellular Ca2+ was not caused by altered buffering of cytoplasmic Ca2+ and was not caused by or in any way affected by the depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores. Associated with the increase in intracellular Ca2+, in the presence of 2 mM Ca2+, 2-APB activated single channels in the plasma membrane with a conductance of approximately 50 pS. These channels seem to be nonselective cation channels; monovalent cations are the major carriers of current, but finite permeability to Ca2+ leads to a significant intracellular Ca2+ signal. Experiments with excised patches indicate that 2-APB activates these channels from the outer aspect of the cell membrane. This effect of 2-APB further illustrates the complex actions of this compound and reveals the presence in RBL-2H3 m1 cells of a novel, ligand-gated calcium-permeable channel.

Abstract
1 Neutrophil-derived elastase is an enzyme implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Heparin inhibits the enzymatic activity of elastase and here we provide evidence for the first time that heparin can inhibit the release of elastase from human neutrophils. 2 Unfractionated and low molecular weight heparins (UH and LMWH, 0.01-1000 U ml(-1)) and corresponding concentrations (0.06-6000 micro g ml(-1)) of nonanticoagulant O-desulphated heparin (ODH), dextran sulphate (DS) and nonsulphated poly-L-glutamic acid (PGA) were compared for their effects on both elastase release from and aggregation of neutrophils. 3 UH, ODH and LMWH inhibited (P<0.05) the homotypic aggregation of neutrophils, in response to both N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP, 10(-6) M) and platelet-activating factor (PAF, 10(-6) M), as well as elastase release in response to these stimuli, in the absence and presence of the priming agent tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha, 100 U ml(-1)). 4 DS inhibited elastase release under all the conditions of cellular activation tested (P<0.05) but had no effect on aggregation. PGA lacked efficacy in either assay, suggesting general sulphation to be important in both effects of heparin on neutrophil function and specific patterns of sulphation to be required for inhibition of aggregation. 5 Further investigation of the structural requirements for inhibition of elastase release confirmed the nonsulphated GAG hyaluronic acid and neutral dextran, respectively, to be without effect, whereas the IP(3) receptor antagonist 2-aminoethoxydiphenylborate (2-APB) mimicked the effects of heparin, itself an established IP(3) receptor antagonist, suggesting this to be a possible mechanism of action.

Abstract
The neurotoxicity of dithiocarbamates has been previously reported, however, the detailed mechanism underlying the neurotoxicity is still not fully understood. Among the dithiocarbamates, we investigated thiram and ziram in a neuronal-like pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells. Thiram and ziram strongly induced cell death in both dose- and time-dependent manners with the LC(50) of 0.3 and 2 microM, respectively. The cell death showed typical apoptotic features, such as DNA fragmentation and an increase of subdiploidy nuclei. Interestingly, both thiram and ziram induced rapid and sustained increases of intracellular Ca(2+) in PC12 cells, which were almost completely blocked by flufenamic acid (FFA), an inhibitor of non-selective cation channel. BAPTA-AM, an intracellular Ca(2+) chelator, inhibited the thiram- and ziram-induced apoptotic cell death. These results suggest that thiram and ziram induce apoptotic neuronal cell death by Ca(2+) influx through non-selective cation channels. The present study may provide a clue for understanding the mechanism of neurotoxicity of thiram and ziram.

Abstract
Trace metal ions such as Zn(2+), Fe(2+), Cu(2+), Mn(2+), and Co(2+) are required cofactors for many essential cellular enzymes, yet little is known about the mechanisms through which they enter into cells. We have shown previously that the widely expressed ion channel TRPM7 (LTRPC7, ChaK1, TRP-PLIK) functions as a Ca(2+)- and Mg(2+)-permeable cation channel, whose activity is regulated by intracellular Mg(2+) and Mg(2+).ATP and have designated native TRPM7-mediated currents as magnesium-nucleotide-regulated metal ion currents (MagNuM). Here we report that heterologously overexpressed TRPM7 in HEK-293 cells conducts a range of essential and toxic divalent metal ions with strong preference for Zn(2+) and Ni(2+), which both permeate TRPM7 up to four times better than Ca(2+). Similarly, native MagNuM currents are also able to support Zn(2+) entry. Furthermore, TRPM7 allows other essential metals such as Mn(2+) and Co(2+) to permeate, and permits significant entry of nonphysiologic or toxic metals such as Cd(2+), Ba(2+), and Sr(2+). Equimolar replacement studies substituting 10 mM Ca(2+) with the respective divalent ions reveal a unique permeation profile for TRPM7 with a permeability sequence of Zn(2+) approximately Ni(2+) >> Ba(2+) > Co(2+) > Mg(2+) >/= Mn(2+) >/= Sr(2+) >/= Cd(2+) >/= Ca(2+), while trivalent ions such as La(3+) and Gd(3+) are not measurably permeable. With the exception of Mg(2+), which exerts strong negative feedback from the intracellular side of the pore, this sequence is faithfully maintained when isotonic solutions of these divalent cations are used. Fura-2 quenching experiments with Mn(2+), Co(2+), or Ni(2+) suggest that these can be transported by TRPM7 in the presence of physiological levels of Ca(2+) and Mg(2+), suggesting that TRPM7 represents a novel ion-channel mechanism for cellular metal ion entry into vertebrate cells.

Abstract
We examined the roles of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptors (IP3R) in calcium signaling using DT40 B lymphocytes, and a variant lacking the three IP3R isoforms (IP3R-KO). In wild-type cells, B cell receptor (BCR) stimulation activates a cation entry route that exhibits significantly greater permeability to Ba2+ than does capacitative calcium entry. This cation entry is absent in IP3R-KO cells. Expression of the type-3 IP3R (IP3R-3) in the IP3R-KO cells rescued not only agonist-dependent release of intracellular Ca2+, but also Ba2+ influx following receptor stimulation. Similar results were obtained with an IP3R-3 mutant carrying a conservative point mutation in the selectivity filter region of the channel (D2477E); however, an IP3R-3 mutant in which this same aspartate was replaced by alanine (D2477A) failed to restore either BCR-induced Ca2+ release or receptor-dependent Ba2+ entry. These results suggest that in DT40 B lymphocytes, BCR stimulation activates a novel cation entry across the plasma membrane that depends upon, or is mediated by, fully functional IP3R.

Abstract
In isolated rat peritoneal mast cells, an outwardly rectifying Cl- channel has been described. Influx of Cl- through this Cl- channel (I(Cl-(OR)) causes hyperpolarization, which facilitates Ca2+ currents through store-operated Ca2+ channels. The exocytotic effect of nerve growth factor (NGF) in the presence of lyso-phosphatidylserine strictly depends on the presence of extracellular [Ca2+]o. The aim of the present study was to assess the importance of I(Cl-(OR)) for exocytosis induced by NGF/lyso-phosphatidylserine. Therefore, we investigated the effects on NGF/lyso-phosphatidylserine-induced exocytosis of [3H]5-hydroxytryptamine ([3H]5-HT) in rat peritoneal mast cells: (a) of two inhibitors of I(Cl-(OR)) (4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene2,2'-disulfonic acid [DIDS] and diethylstilbestrol), and (b) of replacement of extracellular Cl- by methylsulfate. Additionally, whole-cell patch-clamp experiments (nystatin-perforated patch) were performed. Diethylstibestrol and DIDS, in concentrations sufficient to abolish the I(Cl-(OR)) (10 microM) and the replacement of (Cl-)o by methylsulfate, were ineffective in impairing the NGF/lyso-phosphatidylserine-induced [3H]5-HT-release. These findings argue against a role of outwardly rectifying Cl- channels in exocytosis induced by NGF/lyso-phosphatidylserine in rat peritoneal mast cells.
