Abstract
AIMS Hypoxia, ischaemia, and exogenous chemicals can induce extracellular and intracellular acidosis, but it is not clear which of these types of acidosis affects endothelial cell function. The synthesis and release of endothelium-derived relaxing factors (EDRFs) are linked to an increase in cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration, and we therefore examined the effects of extracellular and intracellular acidosis on Ca(2+) responses and EDRF production in cultured porcine aortic endothelial cells. METHODS AND RESULTS Cytosolic pH (pH(i)) and Ca(2+) were measured using fluorescent dyes, BCECM/AM (pH-indicator) and fura-2/AM (Ca(2+)-indicator), respectively. EDRFs, nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin I(2) (PGI(2)) were assessed using DAF-FM/DA (NO-indicator dye) fluorometry and 6-keto PGF(1alpha) enzyme immunoassay, respectively. HEPES buffers titrated to pH 6.4, 6.9, and 7.4 were used to alter extracellular pH (pH(o)), and propionate (20 mmol/L) was applied to cause intracellular acidosis. Extracellular acidosis strongly suppressed bradykinin (BK, 10 nmol/L)- and thapsigargin (TG, 1 micromol/L)-induced Ca(2+) responses by 30 and 23% at pH(o) 6.9, and by 80 and 97% at pH(o) 6.4, respectively. During the examinations, there were no significant differences in pH(i) among the three groups at pH(o) 7.4, 6.9, and 6.4. Extracellular acidosis also inhibited BK-stimulated PGI(2) production by 55% at pH(o) 6.9 and by 77% at pH(o) 6.4, and NO production by 38% at pH(o) 6.9 and by 91% at pH(o) 6.4. The suppressive effects of extracellular acidosis on Ca(2+) responses and NO production were reversible. Propionate changed pH(i) from 7.3 to 6.9, without altering pH(o) (7.4). Intracellular acidosis had no effect on BK- and TG-induced Ca(2+) responses or NO production. CONCLUSION These results indicate that extracellular, but not intracellular, acidosis causes endothelial dysfunction by inhibiting store-operated Ca(2+) entry, so helping to clarify the vascular pathophysiology of conditions such as ischaemia, hypoxia, acidosis, and ischaemia-reperfusion.

Abstract
The regulatory mechanism of Ca2+ influx into the cytosol from the extracellular space in non-excitable cells is not clear. The "capacitative calcium entry" (CCE) hypothesis suggested that Ca2+ influx is triggered by the IP(3)-mediated emptying of the intracellular Ca2+ stores. However, there is no clear evidence for CCE and its mechanism remains elusive. In the present work, we have provided the reported evidences to show that inhibition of IP(3)-dependent Ca2+ release does not affect Ca2+ influx, and the experimental protocols used to demonstrate CCE can stimulate Ca2+ influx by means other than emptying of the Ca2+ stores. In addition, we have presented the reports showing that IP(3)-mediated Ca2+ release is linked to a Ca2+ entry from the extracellular space, which does not increase cytosolic [Ca2+] prior to Ca2+ release. Based on these and other reports, we have provided a model of Ca2+ signaling in non-excitable cells, in which IP(3)-mediated emptying of the intracellular Ca2+ store triggers entry of Ca2+ directly into the store, through a plasma membrane TRPC channel. Thus, emptying and direct refilling of the Ca2+ stores are repeated in the presence of IP(3), giving rise to the transient phase of oscillatory Ca2+ release. Direct Ca2+ entry into the store is regulated by its filling status in a negative and positive manner through a Ca2+ -binding protein and Stim1/Orai complex, respectively. The sustained phase of Ca2+ influx is triggered by diacylglycerol (DAG) through the activation of another TRPC channel, independent of Ca2+ release. The plasma membrane IP(3) receptor (IP(3)R) plays an essential role in Ca2+ influx, by interacting with the DAG-activated TRPC, without the requirement of binding to IP(3).

Abstract
1. Agonist interaction with phospholipase C-linked receptors at the plasma membrane can elicit both Ca2+ and Na+ influxes in lymphocytes. While Ca2+ influx is mediated by Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channels, the pathway responsible for Na+ influx is largely unknown. 2. We show that thapsigargin, ionomycin, ADP-ribose and IP3 activated a nonselective cation channel in lymphocytes that had a slightly outwardly rectifying I-V relationship, and a single channel conductance of 23.1 pS. We termed this channel a Ca2+ release-activated nonselective cation (CRANC) channel. 3. On activation in cell-attached configuration, switching to an inside-out configuration abolished CRANC channel activity. 4. Transfection of Jurkat T cells with antisense oligonucleotides for LTRPC2 reduced capacitative Ca2+ entry. 5. These results suggest that CRANC channels are responsible for the Na+ influx as well as a portion of the Ca2+ influx in lymphocytes induced by store depletion, that sustained activation of CRANC channels requires some property of the environment of a cell depleted of its Ca2+ stores; and that LTRPC2 protein is a likely component of the CRANC channel.

Abstract
Store-operated calcium entry depicts the movement of extracellular Ca2+ into cells through plasma membrane Ca2+ channels activated by depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores. The members of the canonical subfamily of transient receptor potential channels (TRPC) have been implicated as the molecular bases for store-operated channels (SOC). Here we investigate the role of phospholipase C (PLC) in regulation of native SOC and the expression of endogenous TRPC in human epidermal keratinocytes. Calcium entry in response to store depletion with thapsigargin was reversibly blocked by 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borane, an effective SOC inhibitor, and suppressed by the diacylglycerol analoge, 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol. Inhibition of PLC with U73122 or transfection of a PLCgamma1 antisense cDNA construct completely blocked SOC activity, indicating a requirement for PLC, especially PLCgamma1, in the activation of SOC. RT-PCR and immunoblotting analyses showed that TRPC1, TRPC3, TRPC4, TRPC5, and TRPC6 are expressed in keratinocytes. Knockdown of the level of endogenous TRPC1 or TRPC4 inhibited store-operated calcium entry, indicating they are part of the native SOC. Co-immunoprecipitation studies demonstrated that TRPC1, but not TRPC4, interacts with PLCgamma1 and the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R). The association of TRPC1 with PLCgamma1 and IP3R decreased in keratinocytes with higher intracellular Ca2+, coinciding with a downregulation in SOC activity. Our results indicate that the activation of SOC in keratinocytes depends, at least partly, on the interaction of TRPC with PLCgamma1 and IP3R.

Abstract
[Ca(2+)](i) oscillations can either depend on oscillatory inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP(3)) formation by phospholipase C (PLC) or rely on local feedback mechanisms involving the InsP(3) receptor. To assess the PLC activity underlying carbachol-induced [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations in single HEK293 cells, we co-imaged [Ca(2+)](i) with fluorescent fusion proteins of protein kinase C (PKC) isotypes and the PH domain of PLC-delta 1 (PLC-delta 1(PH)). The translocation of PKC alpha-YFP in single cells followed two discrete patterns. Upon maximally effective agonist concentrations, a fast association and delayed dissociation (k(on)>k(off)) was the predominant pattern. The delayed dissociation has been linked to diacylglycerol formation. Upon stimulation with submaximally effective agonist concentrations as well as during regenerative [Ca(2+)](i) waves, we mainly observed short translocations with k(on) approximately equal to k(off). Translocation time courses and efficiencies of the diacylglycerol-sensing PKC epsilon-CFP and the InsP(3)/phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate-sensing YFP-PLC-delta 1(PH) were closely correlated. Significant PLC activity was only detectable upon strong receptor stimulation, which typically failed to trigger [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations. During [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations induced by submaximal receptor stimulation, YFP-PLC-delta 1(PH) did not translocate, whereas a fluorescent PKC epsilon fusion protein has been reported to exhibit a slow, non-oscillatory accumulation at the plasma membrane. We conclude that carbachol-induced [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations in HEK293 cells develop at low levels of presumably non-oscillatory PLC activity.

Abstract
The one or more coupling mechanisms of store-operated channels (SOCs) to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+ store depletion as well as the molecular identity of SOCs per se still remain a mystery. Here, we demonstrate the co-existence of two populations of molecular distinct endogenous SOCs in LNCaP prostate cancer epithelial cells, which are preferentially activated by either active inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)-mediated or passive thapsigargin-facilitated store depletion and have different ER store content sensitivity. The first population, called SOC(CC) (for "conformational coupling"), is characterized by preferential IP3 receptor-dependent mode of activation, as judged from sensitivity to cytoskeleton modifications, and dominant contribution of transient receptor potential (TRP) TRPC1 within it. The second one, called SOC(CIF) (for "calcium influx factor"), depends on Ca(2+)-independent phospholipase A2 for activation with probable CIF involvement and is mostly represented by TRPC4. The previously identified SOC constituent in LNCaP cells, TRPV6, seems to play equal role in both SOC populations. These results provide new insight into the nature of SOCs and their representation in the single cell type as well as permit reconciliation of current SOC activation hypotheses.

Abstract
Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR) is a well characterized activity in skeletal and cardiac muscles mediated by the ryanodine receptors. The present study demonstrates CICR in the non-excitable parotid acinar cells, which resembles the mechanism described in cardiac myocytes. Partial depletion of internal Ca2+ stores leads to a minimal activation of Ca2+ influx. Ca2+ influx through this pathway results in an explosive mobilization of Ca2+ from the majority of the stores by CICR. Thus, stimulation of parotid acinar cells in Ca2+ -free medium with 0.5 microm carbachol releases approximately 5% of the Ca2+ mobilizable by 1 mm carbachol. Addition of external Ca2+ induced the same Ca2+ release observed in maximally stimulated cells. Similar results were obtained by a short treatment with 2.5-10 microm cyclopiazonic acid, an inhibitor of the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase pump. The Ca2+ release induced by the addition of external Ca2+ was largely independent of IP(3)Rs because it was reduced by only approximately 30% by the inhibition of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors with caffeine or heparin. Measurements of Ca2+ -activated outward current and [Ca2+](i) suggested that most CICR triggered by Ca2+ influx occurred away from the plasma membrane. Measurement of the response to several concentrations of cyclopiazonic acid revealed that Ca2+ influx that regulates CICR is associated with a selective portion of the internal Ca2+ pool. The minimal activation of Ca2+ influx by partial store depletion was confirmed by the measurement of Mn2+ influx. Inhibition of Ca2+ influx with SKF96365 or 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate prevented activation of CICR observed on addition of external Ca2+. These findings provide evidence for activation of CICR by Ca2+ influx in non-excitable cells, demonstrate a previously unrecognized role for Ca2+ influx in triggering CICR, and indicate that CICR in non-excitable cells resembles CICR in cardiac myocytes with the exception that in cardiac cells Ca2+ influx is mediated by voltage-regulated Ca2+ channels whereas in non-excitable cells Ca2+ influx is mediated by store-operated channels.

Abstract
Vascular smooth muscle contracts on increases of extracellular pH (pH(o)) and relaxes on pH(o) decreases possibly resulting from changes in transsarcolemmal Ca(2+) influx. Therefore, we studied store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE; i.e. capacitative Ca(2+) entry (CCE)) during acidification (pH(o)=6.5) and alkalinization (pH(o)=8.0) in isolated porcine coronary smooth muscle cells (SMCs) by monitoring cytoplasmic Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)) and divalent cation entry (Mn(2+) quench) with fura-2/AM-fluorometry. Additionally, we evaluated the contribution of SOCE to pH(o)-dependent changes in isometric tension of porcine coronary smooth muscle strips. SOCE elicited in SMCs by the SERCA inhibitor BHQ was strongly modulated by pH(o) showing a decrease upon acidification and vice versa an increase upon alkalinization. BHQ-mediated tension of smooth muscle strips also revealed strong pH(o) dependence. In contrast, L-VOC-dependent tension ([K(+)](o)=20 and 40 mmol l(-1)) was remarkably less affected by pH(o) changes. Moreover, refilling of depleted Ca(2+) stores after repeated M(3)-cholinergic receptor stimulation could be almost completely inhibited by SKF 96365 and was markedly reduced by acidification and considerably enhanced by alkalinization pointing to a major role of SOCE in refilling. We conclude that vascular tone particularly responds to alterations in pH(o) whenever SOCE substantially contributes to the amount of activator Ca(2+) for contraction.

Abstract
We have studied modulation of "store-operated calcium influx" by tyrosine phosphatases in the pancreatic acinar cell line AR42J and in HEK 293 cells. We show that inhibition of tyrosine phosphatases by bis-(N,N-dimethyl-hydroxamido) hydrooxovanadate (DMHV) leads to an increase in Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) entry. This effect can be blocked in the presence of 2-aminoethyldiphenyl borate (2-APB). Furthermore, transfection of HEK 293 cells with the human wild-type tyrosine phosphatase PTP1B leads to inhibition of CRAC influx, whereas transfection with the substrate-trapping mutant of PTP1B (D181A) slightly increases Ca(2+) influx. It also decreases enzymatic activity of PTP1B as compared to non-transfected cells. Our data suggest that CRAC influx is modulated by tyrosine phosphorylation and dephosphorylation which involves the tyrosine phosphatase PTP1B.

Abstract
We recently discovered a novel gene on chromosome 19p13.1 and its product, an integral endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane protein, termed CHERP (calcium homoeostasis endoplasmic reticulum protein). A monoclonal antibody against its C-terminal domain inhibits Ins(1,4,5) P (3)-induced Ca(2+) release from ER membrane vesicles of many cell types, and an antisense-mediated knockdown of CHERP in human erythroleukemia (HEL) cells greatly impaired Ca(2+) mobilization by thrombin. In the present paper, we explore further CHERP's function in Jurkat T-lymphocytes. Confocal laser immunofluorescence microscopy showed that CHERP was co-localized with the Ins(1,4,5) P (3) receptor throughout the cytoplasmic and perinuclear region, as previously found in HEL cells. Transfection of Jurkat cells with a lac I-regulated mammalian expression vector containing CHERP antisense cDNA caused a knockdown of CHERP and impaired the rise of cytoplasmic Ca(2+) (measured by fura-2 acetoxymethyl ester fluorescence) caused by phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) and thrombin. A 50% fall of CHERP decreased the PHA-induced rise of the cytoplasmic free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)), but Ca(2+) influx was unaffected. Greater depletion of CHERP (>70%) did not affect the concentration of Ins(1,4,5) P (3) receptors, but diminished the rise of [Ca(2+)](i) in response to PHA to </=30% of that in control cells, decreased Ca(2+) influx and slowed the initial rate of [Ca(2+)](i) rise caused by thapsigargin, an inhibitor of the sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic-reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase, suggesting there was also some deficit in ER Ca(2+) stores. In CHERP-depleted cells the Ca(2+)-dependent activation and translocation of the key transcription factor NFAT (nuclear factor of activated T-cells) from cytoplasm to nucleus was suppressed. Furthermore, cell proliferation was greatly slowed (as in HEL cells) along with a 60% decrease in cyclin D1, a key regulator of progression through the G(1) phase of the cell cycle. These findings provide further evidence that CHERP is an important component of the ER Ca(2+)-mobilizing system in cells, and its loss impairs Ca(2+)-dependent biochemical pathways and progression through the cell cycle.

Abstract
1. Nitric oxide (NO) is a key modulator of cellular Ca(2+) signalling and a determinant of mitochondrial function. Here, we demonstrate that NO governs capacitative Ca(2+) entry (CCE) into HEK293 cells by impairment of mitochondrial Ca(2+) handling. 2. Authentic NO as well as the NO donors 1-[2-(carboxylato)pyrrolidin-1-yl]diazem-1-ium-1,2-diolate (ProliNO) and 2-(N,N-diethylamino)-diazenolate-2-oxide (DEANO) suppressed CCE activated by thapsigargin (TG)-induced store depletion. Threshold concentrations for inhibition of CCE by ProliNO and DEANO were 0.3 and 1 micro M, respectively. 3. NO-induced inhibition of CCE was not mimicked by peroxynitrite (100 micro M), the peroxynitrite donor 3-morpholino-sydnonimine (SIN-1, 100 micro M) or 8-bromoguanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (8-BrcGMP, 1 mM). In addition, the guanylyl cyclase inhibitor 1H-[1,2,4] oxadiazole[4,3-a] quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ, 30 micro M) failed to antagonize the inhibitory action of NO on CCE. 4. DEANO (1-10 micro M) suppressed mitochondrial respiration as evident from inhibition of cellular oxygen consumption. Experiments using fluorescent dyes to monitor mitochondrial membrane potential and mitochondrial Ca(2+) levels, respectively, indicated that DEANO (10 micro M) depolarized mitochondria and suppressed mitochondrial Ca(2+) sequestration. The inhibitory effect of DEANO on Ca(2+) uptake into mitochondria was confirmed by recording mitochondrial Ca(2+) during agonist stimulation in HEK293 cells expressing ratiometric-pericam in mitochondria. 5. DEANO (10 micro M) failed to inhibit Ba(2+) entry into TG-stimulated cells when extracellular Ca(2+) was buffered below 1 micro M, while clear inhibition of Ba(2+) entry into store depleted cells was observed when extracellular Ca(2+) levels were above 10 micro M. Moreover, buffering of intracellular Ca(2+) by use of N,N'-[1,2-ethanediylbis(oxy-2,1-phenylene)] bis [N-[25-[(acetyloxy) methoxy]-2-oxoethyl]]-, bis[(acetyloxy)methyl] ester (BAPTA/AM) eliminated inhibition of CCE by NO, indicating that the observed inhibitory effects are based on an intracellular, Ca(2+) dependent-regulatory process. 6. Our data demonstrate that NO effectively inhibits CCE cells by cGMP-independent suppression of mitochondrial function. We suggest disruption of local Ca(2+) handling by mitochondria as a key mechanism of NO induced suppression of CCE.

Abstract
The activation mechanism of the recently cloned human transient receptor potential vanilloid type 6 (TRPV6) channel, originally termed Ca(2+) transporter-like protein and Ca(2+) transporter type 1, was investigated in whole-cell patch-clamp experiments using transiently transfected human embryonic kidney and rat basophilic leukemia cells. The TRPV6-mediated currents are highly Ca(2+)-selective, show a strong inward rectification, and reverse at positive potentials, which is similar to store-operated Ca(2+) entry in electrically nonexcitable cells. The gating of TRPV6 channels is strongly dependent on the cytosolic free Ca(2+) concentration; lowering the intracellular free Ca(2+) concentration results in Ca(2+) influx, and current amplitude correlates with the intracellular EGTA or BAPTA concentration. This is also the case for TRPV6-mediated currents in the absence of extracellular divalent cations; compared with endogenous currents in nontransfected rat basophilic leukemia cells, these TRPV6-mediated monovalent currents reveal differences in reversal potential, inward rectification, and slope at very negative potentials. Release of stored Ca(2+) by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and/or the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitor thapsigargin appears not to be involved in TRPV6 channel gating in both cell lines but, in rat basophilic leukemia cells, readily activates the endogenous Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) current. In conclusion, TRPV6, expressed in human embryonic kidney cells and in rat basophilic leukemia cells, functions as a Ca(2+)-sensing Ca(2+) channel independently of procedures known to deplete Ca(2+) stores.

Abstract
1. In rat cerebellar astrocytes, intracellular Ca(2+) store depletion by receptor agonists or sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca(2+) ATPase inhibitors induced a transient increase in the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) in the absence of extracellular Ca(2+) and a sustained increase in its presence. 2. After 10 min treatment with thapsigargin, the [Ca(2+)](i) was unaffected by removal of thapsigargin, but fell rapidly to the basal level when extracellular Ca(2+) was removed, suggesting the involvement of capacitative Ca(2+) entry (CCE); this effect was not seen until cells had been exposed to thapsigargin for at least 2 min. 3. Using the whole cell voltage clamp technique, a 60-100 pA inward current was activated by store depletion, the reversal potential ranging from -5 to 0 mV. 4. When extracellular Na(+) was isotonically replaced by Tris, the thapsigargin-induced [Ca(2+)](i) increase was enhanced, while the inward current was reduced, indicating that store-operated Ca(2+) channels were permeable to Na(+); however, they were not permeable to Sr(2+) or Ba(2+). 5. Thapsigargin-induced CCE remained the same in the presence of nifedipine, La(3+) or Cd(2+), while it was inhibited in the presence of SK&F96365. 6. In cerebellar astrocytes, inhibition of protein serine/threonine phosphorylation promoted CCE. 7. In conclusion, in rat cerebellar astrocytes, store depletion activated a CCE via channels which were permeable to Ca(2+) and Na(+) and regulated by phosphorylation.

Abstract
Stimulation of membrane receptors linked to a phospholipase C and the subsequent production of the second messengers diacylglycerol and inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP(3)) is a signaling pathway of fundamental importance in eukaryotic cells. Signaling downstream of these initial steps involves mobilization of Ca(2+) from intracellular stores and Ca(2+) influx through the plasma membrane. For this influx, several contrasting mechanisms may be responsible but particular relevance is attributed to the induction of Ca(2+) influx as consequence of depletion of intracellular calcium stores. This phenomenon (frequently named store-operated calcium entry, SOCE), in turn, may be brought about by various signals, including soluble cytosolic factors, interaction of proteins of the endoplasmic reticulum with ion channels in the plasma membrane, and a secretion-like coupling involving translocation of channels to the plasma membrane. Experimental approaches to analyze these mechanisms have been considerably advanced by the discovery of mammalian homologs of the Drosophila cation channel transient receptor potential (TRP). Some members of the TRP family can be expressed to Ca(2+)-permeable channels that enable SOCE; other members form channels activated independently of stores. TRP proteins may be an essential part of endogenous Ca(2+) entry channels but so far expression of most TRP cDNAs has not resulted in restitution of channels found in any mammalian cells, suggesting the requirement for further unknown subunits. A major exception is CaT1, a TRP channel demonstrated to provide Ca(2+)-selective, store-operated currents identical to those characterized in several cell types. Ongoing and future research on TRP channels will be crucial to understand the molecular basis of receptor-mediated Ca(2+) entry, with respect to the structure of the entry channels as well as to the mechanisms of its activation and regulation.

Abstract
Rat basophilic leukaemia cells (RBL-2H3-M1) were used to study the characteristics of the store-operated Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) current (I(CRAC)) and the magnesium-nucleotide-regulated metal cation current (MagNuM) (which is conducted by the LTRPC7 channel). Pipette solutions containing 10 mM BAPTA and no added ATP induced both currents in the same cell, but the time to half-maximal activation for MagNuM was about two to three times slower than that of I(CRAC). Differential suppression of I(CRAC) was achieved by buffering free [Ca(2+)](i) to 90 nM and selective inhibition of MagNuM was accomplished by intracellular solutions containing 6 mM Mg.ATP, 1.2 mM free [Mg(2+)](i) or 100 microM GTP-gamma-S, allowing investigations on these currents in relative isolation. Removal of extracellular Ca(2+) and Mg(2+) caused both currents to be carried significantly by monovalent ions. In the absence or presence of free [Mg(2+)](i), I(CRAC) carried by monovalent ions inactivated more rapidly and more completely than MagNuM carried by monovalent ions. Since several studies have used divalent-free solutions on either side of the membrane to study selectivity and single-channel behaviour of I(CRAC), these experimental conditions would have favoured the contribution of MagNuM to monovalent conductance and call for caution in interpreting results where both I(CRAC) and MagNuM are activated.

Abstract
Antiapoptotic oncoprotein Bcl-2 has extramitochondrial actions due to its localization on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER); however, the specific mechanisms of such actions remain unclear. Here we show that Bcl-2 overexpression in LNCaP prostate cancer epithelial cells results in downregulation of store-operated Ca(2+) current by decreasing the number of functional channels and inhibiting ER Ca(2+) uptake through a reduction in the expression of calreticulin and SERCA2b, two key proteins controlling ER Ca(2+) content. Furthermore, we demonstrate that Ca(2+) store depletion by itself is not sufficient to induce apoptosis in Bcl-2 overexpressing cells, and that sustained Ca(2+) entry via activated store-operated channels (SOCs) is required as well. Our data therefore suggest the pivotal role of SOCs in apoptosis and cancer progression.

Abstract
Capacitative Ca2+ entry involves the regulation of plasma membrane Ca2+ channels by the filling state of intracellular Ca2+ stores in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Several theories have been advanced regarding the mechanism by which the stores communicate with the plasma membrane. One such mechanism, supported by recent findings, is conformational coupling: inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) receptors in the ER may sense the fall in Ca2+ levels through Ca2+-binding sites on their lumenal domains, and convey this conformational information directly by physically interacting with Ca2+ channels in the plasma membrane. In support of this idea, in some cell types, store-operated channels in excised membrane patches appear to depend on the presence of both Ins(1,4,5)P3 and Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptors for activity; in addition, inhibitors of Ins(1,4,5)P3 production that either block phospholipase C or inhibit phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase can block capacitative Ca2+ entry. However, the electrophysiological current underlying capacitative Ca2+ entry is not blocked by an Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor antagonist, and the blocking effects of a phospholipase C inhibitor are not reversed by the intracellular application of Ins(1,4,5)P3. Furthermore, cells whose Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor genes have been disrupted can nevertheless maintain their capability to activate capacitative Ca2+ entry channels in response to store depletion. A tentative conclusion is that multiple mechanisms for signaling capacitative Ca2+ entry may exist, and involve conformational coupling in some cell types and perhaps a diffusible signal in others.

Abstract
In eukaryotic cells, activation of cell surface receptors that couple to the phosphoinositide pathway evokes a biphasic increase in intracellular free Ca2+ concentration: an initial transient phase reflecting Ca2+ release from intracellular stores, followed by a plateau phase due to Ca2+ influx. A major component of this Ca2+ influx is store-dependent and often can be measured directly as the Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ current (I(CRAC)). Under physiological conditions of weak intracellular Ca2+ buffering, respiring mitochondria play a central role in store-operated Ca2+ influx. They determine whether macroscopic I(CRAC) activates or not, to what extent and for how long. Here we describe an additional role for energized mitochondria: they reduce the amount of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) that is required to activate I(CRAC). By increasing the sensitivity of store-operated influx to InsP3, respiring mitochondria will determine whether modest levels of stimulation are capable of evoking Ca2+ entry or not. Mitochondrial Ca2+ buffering therefore increases the dynamic range of concentrations over which the InsP3 is able to function as the physiological messenger that triggers the activation of store-operated Ca2+ influx.

Abstract
Darier's disease (DD) is a high penetrance, autosomal dominant mutation in the ATP2A2 gene, which encodes the SERCA2 Ca2+ pump. Here we have used a mouse model of DD, a SERCA2(+/-) mouse, to define the adaptation of Ca2+ signaling and Ca2+-dependent exocytosis to a deletion of one copy of the SERCA2 gene. The [Ca2+]i transient evoked by maximal agonist stimulation was shorter in cells from SERCA2(+/-) mice, due to an up-regulation of specific plasma membrane Ca2+ pump isoforms. The change in cellular Ca2+ handling caused approximately 50% reduction in [Ca2+]i oscillation frequency. Nonetheless, agonist-stimulated exocytosis was identical in cells from wild-type and SERCA2(+/-) mice. This was due to adaptation in the levels of the Ca2+ sensors for exocytosis synaptotagmins I and III in cells from SERCA2(+/-) mice. Accordingly, exocytosis was approximately 10-fold more sensitive to Ca2+ in cells from SERCA2(+/-) mice. These findings reveal a remarkable plasticity and adaptability of Ca2+ signaling and Ca2+-dependent cellular functions in vivo, and can explain the normal function of most physiological systems in DD patients.

Abstract
Central core disease (CCD) is a human congenital myopathy characterized by fetal hypotonia and proximal muscle weakness that is linked to mutations in the gene encoding the type-1 ryanodine receptor (RyR1). CCD is thought to arise from Ca(2+)-induced damage stemming from mutant RyR1 proteins forming "leaky" sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) release channels. A novel mutation in the C-terminal region of RyR1 (I4898T) accounts for an unusually severe and highly penetrant form of CCD in humans [Lynch, P. J., Tong, J., Lehane, M., Mallet, A., Giblin, L., Heffron, J. J., Vaughan, P., Zafra, G., MacLennan, D. H. & McCarthy, T. V. (1999) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 96, 4164--4169]. We expressed in skeletal myotubes derived from RyR1-knockout (dyspedic) mice the analogous mutation engineered into a rabbit RyR1 cDNA (I4897T). Here we show that homozygous expression of I4897T in dyspedic myotubes results in a complete uncoupling of sarcolemmal excitation from voltage-gated SR Ca(2+) release without significantly altering resting cytosolic Ca(2+) levels, SR Ca(2+) content, or RyR1-mediated enhancement of dihydropyridine receptor (DHPR) channel activity. Coexpression of both I4897T and wild-type RyR1 resulted in a 60% reduction in voltage-gated SR Ca(2+) release, again without altering resting cytosolic Ca(2+) levels, SR Ca(2+) content, or DHPR channel activity. These findings indicate that muscle weakness suffered by individuals possessing the I4898T mutation involves a functional uncoupling of sarcolemmal excitation from SR Ca(2+) release, rather than the expression of overactive or leaky SR Ca(2+) release channels.

Abstract
Whole-cell patch-clamp experiments were performed to examine the mechanism underlying the inability of intracellular Ins(1,4,5)P(3) to activate the Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) current (I(CRAC)) in rat basophilic leukaemia (RBL)-1 cells under conditions of weak cytoplasmic Ca(2+) buffering. Dialysis with Ins(1,4,5)P(3) in weak Ca(2+) buffer did not activate any macroscopic I(CRAC) even after precautions had been taken to minimize the extent of Ca(2+) entry during the experiment. Following intracellular dialysis with Ins(1,4,5)P(3) for >150 s in weak buffer, external application of the sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic-reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA) pump blocker thapsigargin activated I(CRAC), and the current developed much more quickly than when thapsigargin was applied in the absence of Ins(1,4,5)P(3). This indicates that the Ins(1,4,5)P(3) receptors had not inactivated much over this timecourse. When external Ca(2+) was replaced by Ba(2+), Ins(1,4,5)P(3) still failed to generate any detectable I(CRAC) even though Ba(2+) permeates CRAC channels and is not taken up into the intracellular Ca(2+) stores. In strong Ca(2+) buffer, I(CRAC) could be activated by muscarinic-receptor stimulation, provided protein kinase C (PKC) was blocked. In weak buffer, however, as with Ins(1,4,5)P(3), stimulation of these receptors with carbachol did not activate I(CRAC) even after inhibition of PKC. The inability of Ins(1,4,5)P(3) to activate macroscopic I(CRAC) in weak Ca(2+) buffer was not altered by inhibition of Ca(2+)-dependent phosphorylation/dephosphorylation reactions. Our results suggest that the inability of Ins(1,4,5)P(3) to activate I(CRAC) under conditions of weak intracellular Ca(2+) buffering is not due to strong inactivation of the Ins(1,4,5)P(3) receptors. Instead, a futile Ca(2+) cycle across the stores seems to be occurring and SERCA pumps resequester sufficient Ca(2+) to ensure that the threshold for activation of macroscopic I(CRAC) has not been exceeded.

Abstract
The regulation of store-operated, calcium-selective channels in the plasma membrane of rat basophilic leukemia cells (RBL-2H3 m1), an immortalized mucosal mast cell line, was studied at the single-channel level with the patch clamp technique by removing divalent cations from both sides of the membrane. The activity of the single channels in excised patches could be modulated by Ca(2+), Mg(2+), and pH. The maximal activation of these channels by divalent cation-free conditions occurred independently of depletion of intracellular Ca(2+) stores, whether in excised patches or in whole cell mode. Yet, a number of points of evidence establish these single-channel openings as amplified store-operated channel events. Specifically, (i) the single channels are exquisitely sensitive to inhibition by intracellular Ca(2+), and (ii) both the store-operated current and the single-channel openings are completely blocked by the capacitative calcium entry blocker, 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borane. In addition, in Jurkat T cells single-channel openings with lower open probability have been observed in the whole cell mode with intracellular Mg(2+) present (Kerschbaum, H. H., and Cahalan, M. D. (1999) Science 283, 836-839), and in RBL-2H3 m1 cells a current with similar properties is activated by store depletion.

Abstract
The localization of various Ca(2+) transport and signaling proteins in secretory cells is highly restricted, resulting in polarized agonist-stimulated Ca(2+) waves. In the present work, we examined the possible roles of the Sec6/8 complex or the exocyst in polarized Ca(2+) signaling in pancreatic acinar cells. Immunolocalization by confocal microscopy showed that the Sec6/8 complex is excluded from tight junctions and secretory granules in these cells. The Sec6/8 complex was found in at least two cellular compartments, part of the complex showed similar, but not identical, localization with the Golgi apparatus and part of the complex associated with Ca(2+) signaling proteins next to the plasma membrane at the apical pole. Accordingly, immunoprecipitation (IP) of Sec8 did not coimmunoprecipitate betaCOP, Golgi 58K protein, or mannosidase II, all Golgi-resident proteins. By contrast, IP of Sec8 coimmunoprecipitates Sec6, type 3 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP(3)R3), and the Gbetagamma subunit of G proteins from pancreatic acinar cell extracts. Furthermore, the anti-Sec8 antibodies coimmunoprecipitate actin, Sec6, the plasma membrane Ca(2+) pump, the G protein subunits Galphaq and Gbetagamma, the beta1 isoform of phospholipase C, and the ER resident IP(3)R1 from brain microsomal extracts. Antibodies against the various signaling and Ca(2+) transport proteins coimmunoprecipitate Sec8 and the other signaling proteins. Dissociation of actin filaments in the immunoprecipitate had no effect on the interaction between Sec6 and Sec8, but released the actin and dissociated the interaction between the Sec6/8 complex and Ca(2+) signaling proteins. Hence, the interaction between the Sec6/8 and Ca(2+) signaling complexes is likely mediated by the actin cytoskeleton. The anti-Sec6 and anti-Sec8 antibodies inhibited Ca(2+) signaling at a step upstream of Ca(2+) release by IP(3). Disruption of the actin cytoskeleton with latrunculin B in intact cells resulted in partial translocation of Sec6 and Sec8 from membranes to the cytosol and interfered with propagation of agonist-evoked Ca(2+) waves. Our results suggest that the Sec6/8 complex has multiple roles in secretory cells including governing the polarized expression of Ca(2+) signaling complexes and regulation of their activity.

Abstract
We have investigated the role of intracellular Ca2+ in the opening of capacitative Ca2+ entry (CCE) channels formed with rat TRP4 (rTRP4) using Xenopus oocytes. In rTRP4-expressing oocytes pretreated with thapsigargin, perfusion with A23187, a Ca2+ ionophore, significantly potentiated the delayed phase of the CCE-mediated Cl- current response evoked by extracellular perfusion with Ca2+, without affecting the transient phase of CCE response. In control oocytes, the potentiation of delayed CCE response by A23187 was not significant. Using cut-open recording in combination with artificial intracellular perfusion of oocytes, CCE-mediated Cl- response was recorded at controlled cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations. Intracellular perfusion with a Ca2+ free solution containing 10 mM EGTA abolished most of the CCE responses of both non-injected and rTRP4-expressing oocytes. The native CCE response was not fully recovered by subsequent increases in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration up to 300 nM. However, CCE response of the rTRP4-expressing oocytes was restored at an internal Ca2+ concentration of 110 nM. Blockade of endogenous Cl- channels with anion channel blocker isolated Ca2+ current flowing through CCE channels and clarified the difference in the sensitivity to an internal Ca2+ concentration. These findings indicate that recombinant CCE channels formed with rTRP4 are positively regulated by cytosolic Ca2+ at higher sensitivity compared to oocyte-endogenous CCE channels.
