Abstract
The contraction of cardiac muscle underlying the pumping action of the heart is mediated by the process of excitation-contraction coupling (ECC). While triggered by Ca2+ entry across the sarcolemma during the action potential, it is the release of Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) intracellular Ca2+ store via ryanodine receptors (RyRs) that plays the major role in induction of contraction. Ca2+ also acts as a key intracellular messenger regulating transcription underlying hypertrophic growth. Although Ca2+ release via RyRs is by far the greatest contributor to the generation of Ca2+ transients in the cardiomyocyte, Ca2+ is also released from the SR via inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) receptors (InsP3Rs). This InsP3-induced Ca2+ release modifies Ca2+ transients during ECC, participates in directing Ca2+ to the mitochondria, and stimulates the transcription of genes underlying hypertrophic growth. Central to these specific actions of InsP3Rs is their localization to responsible signalling microdomains, the dyad, the SR-mitochondrial interface and the nucleus. In this review, the various roles of InsP3R in cardiac (patho)physiology and the mechanisms by which InsP3 signalling selectively influences the different cardiomyocyte cell processes in which it is involved will be presented. This article is part of the theme issue ‘The cardiomyocyte: new revelations on the interplay between architecture and function in growth, health, and disease’.

Abstract
Studies over the past two decades have demonstrated that astrocytes are
tightly associated with neurons and play pivotal roles in neural circuit
development, operation, and adaptation in health and disease. Nevertheless,
precisely how astrocytes integrate diverse neuronal signals, modulate neural
circuit structure and function at multiple temporal and spatial scales, and
influence animal behavior or disease through aberrant excitation and molecular
output remains unclear. This Perspective discusses how new and state-of-the-art
approaches, including fluorescence indicators, opto- and chemogenetic actuators,
genetic targeting tools, quantitative behavioral assays, and computational
methods, might help resolve these longstanding questions. It also addresses
complicating factors in interpreting astrocytes’ role in neural circuit
regulation and animal behavior, such as their heterogeneity, metabolism, and
inter-glial communication. Research on these questions should provide a deeper
mechanistic understanding of astrocyte-neuron assemblies’ role in neural
circuit function, complex behaviors, and disease.

Combined Pharmacophore and Grid-Independent Molecular Descriptors (GRIND) Analysis to Probe 3D Features of Inositol 1,4,5-Trisphosphate Receptor (IP 3R) Inhibitors in Cancer. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms222312993. [PMID: 34884798 PMCID: PMC8657927 DOI: 10.3390/ijms222312993] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2021] [Revised: 11/18/2021] [Accepted: 11/24/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Inositol 1, 4, 5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R)-mediated Ca2+ signaling plays a pivotal role in different cellular processes, including cell proliferation and cell death. Remodeling Ca2+ signals by targeting the downstream effectors is considered an important hallmark in cancer progression. Despite recent structural analyses, no binding hypothesis for antagonists within the IP3-binding core (IBC) has been proposed yet. Therefore, to elucidate the 3D structural features of IP3R modulators, we used combined pharmacoinformatic approaches, including ligand-based pharmacophore models and grid-independent molecular descriptor (GRIND)-based models. Our pharmacophore model illuminates the existence of two hydrogen-bond acceptors (2.62 Å and 4.79 Å) and two hydrogen-bond donors (5.56 Å and 7.68 Å), respectively, from a hydrophobic group within the chemical scaffold, which may enhance the liability (IC50) of a compound for IP3R inhibition. Moreover, our GRIND model (PLS: Q2 = 0.70 and R2 = 0.72) further strengthens the identified pharmacophore features of IP3R modulators by probing the presence of complementary hydrogen-bond donor and hydrogen-bond acceptor hotspots at a distance of 7.6-8.0 Å and 6.8-7.2 Å, respectively, from a hydrophobic hotspot at the virtual receptor site (VRS). The identified 3D structural features of IP3R modulators were used to screen (virtual screening) 735,735 compounds from the ChemBridge database, 265,242 compounds from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) database, and 885 natural compounds from the ZINC database. After the application of filters, four compounds from ChemBridge, one compound from ZINC, and three compounds from NCI were shortlisted as potential hits (antagonists) against IP3R. The identified hits could further assist in the design and optimization of lead structures for the targeting and remodeling of Ca2+ signals in cancer.

BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA-MOLECULAR CELL RESEARCH 2021; 1869:119139. [PMID: 34624436 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbamcr.2021.119139] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2020] [Revised: 09/03/2021] [Accepted: 09/19/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
Trophoblasts are specialized epithelial cells of the placenta that are involved in invasion, communication and the exchange of materials between the mother and fetus. Cytoplasmic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]c) plays critical roles in regulating such processes in other cell types, but relatively little is known about the mechanisms that control this second messenger in trophoblasts. In the current study, the presence of RyRs and their accessory proteins in placental tissues and in the BeWo choriocarcinoma, a model trophoblast cell-line, were examined using immunohistochemistry and Western immunoblotting. Contributions of RyRs to Ca2+ signalling and to random migration in BeWo cells were investigated using fura-2 fluorescent and brightfield videomicroscopy. The effect of RyR inhibition on reorganization of the F-actin cytoskeleton elicited by the hormone angiotensin II, was determined using phalloidin-labelling and confocal microscopy. RyR1 and RyR3 proteins were detected in trophoblasts of human first trimester and term placental villi, along with the accessory proteins triadin and calsequestrin. Similarly, RyR1, RyR3, triadin and calsequestrin were detected in BeWo cells. In this cell-line, activation of RyRs with micromolar ryanodine increased [Ca2+]c, whereas pharmacological inhibition of these channels reduced Ca2+ transients elicited by the peptide hormones angiotensin II, arginine vasopressin and endothelin 1. Angiotensin II increased the velocity, total distance and Euclidean distance of random migration by BeWo cells and these effects were significantly reduced by tetracaine and by inhibitory concentrations of ryanodine. RyRs contribute to reorganization of the F-actin cytoskeleton elicited by angiotensin II, since inhibition of these channels restores the parallelness of these structures to control levels. These findings demonstrate that trophoblasts contain a suite of proteins similar to those in other cell types possessing highly developed Ca2+ signal transduction systems, such as skeletal muscle. They also indicate that these channels regulate the migration of trophoblast cells, a process that plays a key role in development of the placenta.

Abstract
Calcium is a second messenger crucial to a myriad of cellular processes ranging from regulation of metabolism and cell survival to vesicle release and motility. Current strategies to directly manipulate endogenous calcium signals lack cellular and subcellular specificity. We introduce SpiCee, a versatile and genetically encoded chelator combining low- and high-affinity sites for calcium. This scavenger enables altering endogenous calcium signaling and functions in single cells in vitro and in vivo with biochemically controlled subcellular resolution. SpiCee paves the way to investigate local calcium signaling in vivo and directly manipulate this second messenger for therapeutic use.

Abstract
Neuropeptides control rhythmic behaviors, but the timing and location of their release within circuits is unknown. Here, imaging in the brain shows that synaptic neuropeptide release by Drosophila clock neurons is diurnal, peaking at times of day that were not anticipated by prior electrical and Ca2+ data. Furthermore, hours before peak synaptic neuropeptide release, neuropeptide release occurs at the soma, a neuronal compartment that has not been implicated in peptidergic transmission. The timing disparity between release at the soma and terminals results from independent and compartmentalized mechanisms for daily rhythmic release: consistent with conventional electrical activity-triggered synaptic transmission, terminals require Ca2+ influx, while somatic neuropeptide release is triggered by the biochemical signal IP3 Upon disrupting the somatic mechanism, the rhythm of terminal release and locomotor activity period are unaffected, but the number of flies with rhythmic behavior and sleep-wake balance are reduced. These results support the conclusion that somatic neuropeptide release controls specific features of clock neuron-dependent behaviors. Thus, compartment-specific mechanisms within individual clock neurons produce temporally and spatially partitioned neuropeptide release to expand the peptidergic connectome underlying daily rhythmic behaviors.

Abstract
Astrocytes, characterized by a satellite-like morphology, are the most abundant type of glia in the central nervous system. Their main functions have been thought to be limited to providing homeostatic support for neurons, but recent studies have revealed that astrocytes actually actively interact with local neural circuits and play a crucial role in information processing and generating physiological and behavioral responses. Here, we review the emerging roles of astrocytes in many brain regions, particularly by focusing on intracellular changes in astrocytes and their interactions with neurons at the molecular and neural circuit levels.

Abstract
Huntington's disease (HD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that is characterized by motor, cognitive, and psychiatric problems. It is caused by a polyglutamine expansion in the huntingtin protein that leads to striatal degeneration via the transcriptional dysregulation of several genes, including genes that are involved in the calcium (Ca2+) signalosome. Recent research has shown that one of the major Ca2+ signaling pathways, store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE), is significantly elevated in HD. SOCE refers to Ca2+ flow into cells in response to the depletion of endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ stores. The dysregulation of Ca2+ homeostasis is postulated to be a cause of HD progression because the SOCE pathway is indirectly and abnormally activated by mutant huntingtin (HTT) in γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic medium spiny neurons (MSNs) from the striatum in HD models before the first symptoms of the disease appear. The present review summarizes recent studies that revealed a relationship between HD pathology and elevations of SOCE in different models of HD, including YAC128 mice (a transgenic model of HD), cellular HD models, and induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-based GABAergic medium spiny neurons (MSNs) that are obtained from adult HD patient fibroblasts. SOCE in MSNs was shown to be mediated by currents through at least two different channel groups, Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ current (ICRAC) and store-operated Ca2+ current (ISOC), which are composed of stromal interaction molecule (STIM) proteins and Orai or transient receptor potential channel (TRPC) channels. Their role under physiological and pathological conditions in HD are discussed. The role of Huntingtin-associated protein 1 isoform A in elevations of SOCE in HD MSNs and potential compounds that may stabilize elevations of SOCE in HD are also summarized. Evidence is presented that shows that the dysregulation of molecular components of SOCE or pathways upstream of SOCE in HD MSN neurons is a hallmark of HD, and these changes could lead to HD pathology, making them potential therapeutic targets.

Abstract
The cyclic nucleotide cAMP (3',5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate) is nowadays recognised as an important signalling molecule in plants, involved in many molecular processes, including sensing and response to biotic and abiotic environmental stresses. The validation of a functional cAMP-dependent signalling system in higher plants has spurred a great scientific interest on the polyhedral role of cAMP, as it actively participates in plant adaptation to external stimuli, in addition to the regulation of physiological processes. The complex architecture of cAMP-dependent pathways is far from being fully understood, because the actors of these pathways and their downstream target proteins remain largely unidentified. Recently, a genetic strategy was effectively used to lower cAMP cytosolic levels and hence shed light on the consequences of cAMP deficiency in plant cells. This review aims to provide an integrated overview of the current state of knowledge on cAMP's role in plant growth and response to environmental stress. Current knowledge of the molecular components and the mechanisms of cAMP signalling events is summarised.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate receptors (ITPRs) are a family of endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ channels essential for the control of intracellular Ca2+ levels in virtually every mammalian cell type. The three isoforms (ITPR1, ITPR2 and ITPR3) are highly homologous in amino acid sequence, but they differ considerably in terms of biophysical properties, subcellular localization, and tissue distribution. Such differences underscore the variety of cellular responses triggered by each isoform and suggest that the expression/activity of specific isoforms might be linked to particular pathophysiological states. Indeed, recent findings demonstrate that changes in expression of ITPR isoforms are associated with a number of human diseases ranging from fatty liver disease to cancer. ITPR3 is emerging as the isoform that is particularly important in the pathogenesis of various human diseases. Here we review the physiological and pathophysiological roles of ITPR3 in various tissues and the mechanisms by which the expression of this isoform is modulated in health and disease.

Abstract
Huntington's disease (HD) is a hereditary neurodegenerative disease that is caused by polyglutamine expansion within the huntingtin (HTT) gene. One of the cellular activities that is dysregulated in HD is store-operated calcium entry (SOCE), a process by which Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) induces Ca2+ influx from the extracellular space. HTT-associated protein-1 (HAP1) is a binding partner of HTT. The aim of the present study was to examine the role of HAP1A protein in regulating SOCE in YAC128 mice, a transgenic model of HD. After Ca2+ depletion from the ER by the activation of inositol-(1,4,5)triphosphate receptor type 1 (IP3R1), we detected an increase in the activity of SOC channels when HAP1 protein isoform HAP1A was overexpressed in medium spiny neurons (MSNs) from YAC128 mice. A decrease in the activity of SOC channels in YAC128 MSNs was observed when HAP1 protein was silenced. In YAC128 MSNs that overexpressed HAP1A, an increase in activity of IP3R1 was detected while the ionomycin-sensitive ER Ca2+ pool decreased. 6-Bromo-N-(2-phenylethyl)-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazol-1-amine hydrochloride (C20H22BrClN2), identified in our previous studies as a SOCE inhibitor, restored the elevation of SOCE in YAC128 MSN cultures that overexpressed HAP1A. The IP3 sponge also restored the elevation of SOCE and increased the release of Ca2+ from the ER in YAC128 MSN cultures that overexpressed HAP1A. The overexpression of HAP1A in the human neuroblastoma cell line SK-N-SH (i.e., a cellular model of HD (SK-N-SH HTT138Q)) led to the appearance of a pool of constitutively active SOC channels and an increase in the expression of STIM2 protein. Our results showed that HAP1A causes the activation of SOC channels in HD models by affecting IP3R1 activity.

Abstract
Intracellular signaling pathways, including the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, are activated by exercise, and promote skeletal muscle hypertrophy. However, the mechanisms by which these pathways are activated by physiological stimulation are not fully understood. Here we show that extracellular ATP activates these pathways by increasing intracellular Ca2+ levels ([Ca2+]i), and promotes muscle hypertrophy. [Ca2+]i in skeletal muscle was transiently increased after exercise. Treatment with ATP induced the increase in [Ca2+]i through the P2Y₂ receptor/inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor pathway, and subsequent activation of mTOR in vitro. In addition, the ATP-induced increase in [Ca2+]i coordinately activated Erk1/2, p38 MAPK and mTOR that upregulated translation of JunB and interleukin-6. ATP also induced an increase in [Ca2+]i in isolated soleus muscle fibers, but not in extensor digitorum longus muscle fibers. Furthermore, administration of ATP led to muscle hypertrophy in an mTOR- and Ca2+-dependent manner in soleus, but not in plantaris muscle, suggesting that ATP specifically regulated [Ca2+]i in slow muscles. These findings suggest that ATP and [Ca2+]i are important mediators that convert mechanical stimulation into the activation of intracellular signaling pathways, and point to the P2Y receptor as a therapeutic target for treating muscle atrophy.

Constitutive IP 3 signaling underlies the sensitivity of B-cell cancers to the Bcl-2/IP 3 receptor disruptor BIRD-2. Cell Death Differ 2018; 26:531-547. [PMID: 29899382 PMCID: PMC6370760 DOI: 10.1038/s41418-018-0142-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 60] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2017] [Revised: 05/15/2018] [Accepted: 05/16/2018] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 proteins are upregulated in different cancers, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), enabling survival by inhibiting pro-apoptotic Bcl-2-family members and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor (IP3R)-mediated Ca2+-signaling. A peptide tool (Bcl-2/IP3R Disruptor-2; BIRD-2) was developed to abrogate the interaction of Bcl-2 with IP3Rs by targeting Bcl-2′s BH4 domain. BIRD-2 triggers cell death in primary CLL cells and in DLBCL cell lines. Particularly, DLBCL cells with high levels of IP3R2 were sensitive to BIRD-2. Here, we report that BIRD-2-induced cell death in DLBCL cells does not only depend on high IP3R2-expression levels, but also on constitutive IP3 signaling, downstream of the tonically active B-cell receptor. The basal Ca2+ level in SU-DHL-4 DLBCL cells was significantly elevated due to the constitutive IP3 production. This constitutive IP3 signaling fulfilled a pro-survival role, since inhibition of phospholipase C (PLC) using U73122 (2.5 µM) caused cell death in SU-DHL-4 cells. Milder inhibition of IP3 signaling using a lower U73122 concentration (1 µM) or expression of an IP3 sponge suppressed both BIRD-2-induced Ca2+ elevation and apoptosis in SU-DHL-4 cells. Basal PLC/IP3 signaling also fulfilled a pro-survival role in other DLBCL cell lines, including Karpas 422, RI-1 and SU-DHL-6 cells, whereas PLC inhibition protected these cells against BIRD-2-evoked apoptosis. Finally, U73122 treatment also suppressed BIRD-2-induced cell death in primary CLL, both in unsupported systems and in co-cultures with CD40L-expressing fibroblasts. Thus, constitutive IP3 signaling in lymphoma and leukemia cells is not only important for cancer cell survival, but also represents a vulnerability, rendering cancer cells dependent on Bcl-2 to limit IP3R activity. BIRD-2 seems to switch constitutive IP3 signaling from pro-survival into pro-death, presenting a plausible therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate (IP3) signaling plays a crucial role in a wide range of eukaryotic processes. In Plasmodium falciparum, IP3 elicits Ca2+ release from intracellular Ca2+ stores, even though no IP3 receptor homolog has been identified to date. The human host hormone melatonin plays a key role in entraining the P. falciparum life cycle in the intraerythrocytic stages, apparently through an IP3-dependent Ca2+ signal. The melatonin-induced cytosolic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]cyt) increase and malaria cell cycle can be blocked by the IP3 receptor blocker 2-aminoethyl diphenylborinate (2-APB). However, 2-APB also inhibits store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE). Therefore, we have used two novel 2-APB derivatives, DPB162-AE and DPB163-AE, which are 100-fold more potent than 2-APB in blocking SOCE in mammalian cells, and appear to act by interfering with clustering of STIM proteins. In the present work we report that DPB162-AE and DPB163-AE block the [Ca2+]cyt rise in response to melatonin in P. falciparum, but only at high concentrations. These compounds also block SOCE in the parasite at similarly high concentrations suggesting that P. falciparum SOCE is not activated in the same way as in mammalian cells. We further find that DPB162-AE and DPB163-AE affect the development of the intraerythrocytic parasites and invasion of new red blood cells. Our efforts to episomally express proteins that compete with native IP3 receptor like IP3-sponge and an IP3 sensor such as IRIS proved to be lethal to P. falciparum during intraerythrocytic cycle. The present findings point to an important role of IP3-induced Ca2+ release in intraerythrocytic stage of P. falciparum.

Abstract
Calcium plays an integral role to many cellular processes including contraction, energy metabolism, gene expression, and cell death. The inositol 1, 4, 5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) is a calcium channel expressed in cardiac tissue. There are three IP3R isoforms encoded by separate genes. In the heart, the IP3R-2 isoform is reported to being most predominant with regards to expression levels and functional significance. The functional roles of IP3R-1 and IP3R-3 in the heart are essentially unexplored despite measureable expression levels. Here we show that all three IP3Rs isoforms are expressed in both neonatal and adult rat ventricular cardiomyocytes, and in human heart tissue. The three IP3R proteins are expressed throughout the cardiomyocyte sarcoplasmic reticulum. Using isoform specific siRNA, we found that expression of all three IP3R isoforms are required for hypertrophic signaling downstream of endothelin-1 stimulation. Mechanistically, IP3Rs specifically contribute to activation of the hypertrophic program by mediating the positive inotropic effects of endothelin-1 and leading to downstream activation of nuclear factor of activated T-cells. Our findings highlight previously unidentified functions for IP3R isoforms in the heart with specific implications for hypertrophic signaling in animal models and in human disease.

Abstract
The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3 R) is a huge Ca2+ channel that is localized at the endoplasmic reticulum. The IP3 R releases Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum upon binding to IP3 , which is produced by various extracellular stimuli through phospholipase C activation. All vertebrate organisms have three subtypes of IP3 R genes, which have distinct properties of IP3 -binding and Ca2+ sensitivity, and are differently regulated by phosphorylation and by their associated proteins. Each cell type expresses the three subtypes of IP3 R in a distinct proportion, which is important for creating and maintaining spatially and temporally appropriate intracellular Ca2+ level patterns for the regulation of specific physiological phenomena. Of the three types of IP3 Rs, the type 1 receptor (IP3 R1) is dominantly expressed in the brain and is important for brain function. Recent emerging evidence suggests that abnormal Ca2+ signals from the IP3 R1 are closely associated with human brain pathology. In this review, we focus on the recent advances in our knowledge of the regulation of IP3 R1 and its functional implication in human brain diseases, as revealed by IP3 R mutation studies and analysis of human disease-associated genes. This article is part of the mini review series "60th Anniversary of the Japanese Society for Neurochemistry".

Abstract
Whilst astrocytes in culture invariably respond to dopamine with cytosolic Ca2+ rises, the dopamine sensitivity of astroglia in situ and its physiological roles remain unknown. To minimize effects of experimental manipulations on astroglial physiology, here we monitored Ca2+ in cells connected via gap junctions to astrocytes loaded whole‐cell with cytosolic indicators in area CA1 of acute hippocampal slices. Aiming at high sensitivity of [Ca2+] measurements, we also employed life‐time imaging of the Ca2+ indicator Oregon Green BAPTA‐1. We found that dopamine triggered a dose‐dependent, bidirectional Ca2+ response in stratum radiatum astroglia, a jagged elevation accompanied and followed by below‐baseline decreases. The elevation depended on D1/D2 receptors and engaged intracellular Ca2+ storage and removal whereas the dopamine‐induced [Ca2+] decrease involved D2 receptors only and was sensitive to Ca2+ channel blockade. In contrast, the stratum lacunosum moleculare astroglia generated higher‐threshold dopamine‐induced Ca2+ responses which did not depend on dopamine receptors and were uncoupled from the prominent inhibitory action of dopamine on local perforant path synapses. Our findings thus suggest that a single neurotransmitter—dopamine—could either elevate or decrease astrocyte [Ca2+] depending on the receptors involved, that such actions are specific to the regional neural circuitry and that they may be causally uncoupled from dopamine actions on local synapses. The results also indicate that [Ca2+] elevations commonly detected in astroglia can represent the variety of distinct mechanisms acting on the microscopic scale. GLIA 2017;65:447–459

Abstract
Calcium is a second messenger that regulates almost all cellular functions. In cardiomyocytes, calcium plays an integral role in many functions including muscle contraction, gene expression, and cell death. Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) are a family of calcium channels that are ubiquitously expressed in all tissues. In the heart, IP3Rs have been associated with regulation of cardiomyocyte function in response to a variety of neurohormonal agonists, including those implicated in cardiac disease. Notably, IP3R activity is thought to be essential for mediating the hypertrophic response to multiple stimuli including endothelin-1 and angiotensin II. In this review, we will explore the functional implications of IP3R activity in the heart in health and disease.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) is an important second messenger produced via G-protein-coupled receptor- or receptor tyrosine kinase-mediated pathways. IP3 levels induce Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) via IP3 receptor (IP3R) located in the ER membrane. The resultant spatiotemporal pattern of Ca2+ signals regulates diverse cellular functions, including fertilization, gene expression, synaptic plasticity, and cell death. Therefore, monitoring and manipulating IP3 levels is important to elucidate not only the functions of IP3-mediated pathways but also the encoding mechanism of IP3R as a converter of intracellular signals from IP3 to Ca2+.

Abstract
Monitoring the dynamic patterns of intracellular signaling molecules, such as inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and Ca2+, that control many diverse cellular processes, provides us significant information to understand the regulatory mechanism of cellular functions. For searching more sensitive and higher dynamic range probes for signaling molecules, convenient and supersensitive high throughput screening systems are required. Here we show the optimal "in Escherichia coli (E. coli) colony" screening method based on the twin-arginine translocase (Tat) pathway and introduce a novel application of a confocal microscope as a supersensitive detection system to measure changes in the fluorescence intensity of fluorescent probes in E. coli grown on an agar plate. To verify the performance of the novel detection system, we compared the changes detected in the fluorescent intensity of genetically encoded Ca2+ indicator after Ca2+ exposure to two kinds of conventional fluorescence detection systems (luminescent image analyzer and fluorescence stereomicroscope). The rate of fluorescence change between Ca2+ binding and unbinding detected by novel supersensitive detection system was almost double than those measured by conventional detection systems. We also confirmed that the Tat pathway-based screening method is applicable to the development of genetically encoded probes for IP3. Our convenient and supersensitive screening system improves the speed of developing florescent probes for small molecules.

Abstract
The ability of radial glial progenitors (RGPs) to generate cortical neurons is determined by local extracellular factors and signaling pathways intrinsic to RGPs. Here we find that GPR157, an orphan G protein-coupled receptor, localizes to RGPs’ primary cilia exposed to the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). GPR157 couples with Gq-class of the heterotrimeric G-proteins and signals through IP3-mediated Ca2+ cascade. Activation of GPR157-Gq signaling enhances neuronal differentiation of RGPs whereas interfering with GPR157-Gq-IP3 cascade in RGPs suppresses neurogenesis. We also detect the presence of putative ligand(s) for GPR157 in the CSF, and demonstrate the increased ability of the CSF to activate GPR157 at neurogenic phase. Thus, GPR157-Gq signaling at the primary cilia of RGPs is activated by the CSF and contributes to neurogenesis.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) is a key regulator of intracellular Ca(2+) concentration that release Ca(2+) from Ca(2+) stores in response to various external stimuli. IP3R also works as a signal hub which form a platform for interacting with various proteins involved in diverse cell signaling. Previously, we have identified an IP3R homolog in the parasitic protist, Trypanosoma cruzi (TcIP3R). Parasites expressing reduced or increased levels of TcIP3R displayed defects in growth, transformation, and infectivity. In the present study, we established parasitic strains expressing a dominant negative form of TcIP3R, named DN-TcIP3R, to further investigate the physiological role(s) of TcIP3R. We found that the growth of epimastigotes expressing DN-TcIP3R was significantly slower than that of parasites with TcIP3R expression levels that were approximately 65% of wild-type levels. The expression of DN-TcIP3R in epimastigotes induced metacyclogenesis even in the normal growth medium. Furthermore, these epimastigotes showed the presence of dense mitochondria under a transmission electron microscope. Our findings confirm that TcIP3R is crucial for epimastigote growth, as previously reported. They also suggest that a strong inhibition of the IP3R-mediated signaling induces metacyclogenesis and that mitochondrial integrity is closely associated with this signaling.

Cytosolic Ca2+ signals, generated through the coordinated translocation of Ca2+ across the plasma membrane (PM) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane, mediate diverse cellular responses. Mitochondrial Ca2+ is important for mitochondrial function, and when cytosolic Ca2+ concentration becomes too high, mitochondria function as cellular Ca2+ sinks. By measuring mitochondrial Ca2+ currents, we found that mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake was reduced in chicken DT40 B lymphocytes lacking either the ER-localized inositol trisphosphate receptor (IP3R), which releases Ca2+ from the ER, or Orai1 or STIM1, components of the PM-localized Ca2+ -permeable channel complex that mediates store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) in response to depletion of ER Ca2+ stores. The abundance of MCU, the pore-forming subunit of the mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter, was reduced in cells deficient in IP3R, STIM1, or Orai1. Chromatin immunoprecipitation and promoter reporter analyses revealed that the Ca2+ -regulated transcription factor CREB (cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element-binding protein) directly bound the MCU promoter and stimulated expression. Lymphocytes deficient in IP3R, STIM1, or Orai1 exhibited altered mitochondrial metabolism, indicating that Ca2+ released from the ER and SOCE-mediated signals modulates mitochondrial function. Thus, our results showed that a transcriptional regulatory circuit involving Ca2+ -dependent activation of CREB controls the Ca2+ uptake capability of mitochondria and hence regulates mitochondrial metabolism.

Abstract
Many cellular functions are driven by variations in the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)]i), which may appear as a single-event transient [Ca(2+)]i elevation, repetitive [Ca(2+)]i increases known as Ca(2+) oscillations, or [Ca(2+)]i increases propagating in the cytoplasm as Ca(2+) waves. Additionally, [Ca(2+)]i changes can be communicated between cells as intercellular Ca(2+) waves (ICWs). ICWs are mediated by two possible mechanisms acting in parallel: one involving gap junctions that form channels directly linking the cytoplasm of adjacent cells and one involving a paracrine messenger, in most cases ATP, that is released into the extracellular space, leading to [Ca(2+)]i changes in neighboring cells. The intracellular messenger inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) that triggers Ca(2+) release from Ca(2+) stores is crucial in these two ICW propagation scenarios, and is also a potent trigger to initiate ICWs. Loading inactive, "caged" IP3 into cells followed by photolytic "uncaging" with UV light, thereby liberating IP3, is a well-established method to trigger [Ca(2+)]i changes in single cells that is also effective in initiating ICWs. We here describe a method to load cells with caged IP3 by local electroporation of monolayer cell cultures and to apply flash photolysis to increase intracellular IP3 and induce [Ca(2+)]i changes, or initiate ICWs. Moreover, the electroporation method allows loading of membrane-impermeable agents that interfere with IP3 and Ca(2+) signaling.

Abstract
IP3 receptor (IP3R) was found to release Ca(2+) from non-mitochondrial store but the exact localization and the mode of action of IP3 remained a mystery. IP3R was identified to be P400 protein, a protein, which was missing in the cerebellum of ataxic mutant mice lacking Ca(2+) spikes in Pukinje cells. IP3R was an IP3 binding protein and was a Ca(2+) channel localized on the endoplasmic reticulum. Full-length cDNA of IP3R type 1 was initially cloned and later two other isoforms of IP3R (IP3R type 2 and type 3) were cloned in vertebrates. Interestingly, the phosphorylation sites, splicing sites, associated molecules, IP3 binding affinity and 5' promoter sequences of each isoform were different. Thus each isoform of IP3 receptor plays a role as a signaling hub offering a unique platform for matching various functional molecules that determines different trajectories of cell signaling. Because of this distinct role of each isoform of IP3R, the dysregulation of IP3 receptor causes various kinds of diseases in human and rodents such as ataxia, vulnerability to neuronal degeneration, heart disease, exocrine secretion deficit, taste perception deficit. Moreover, IP3 was found not only to release Ca(2+), but also to release IRBIT (IP3receptor binding protein released with inositol trisphosphate) essential for the regulation of acid-base balance, RNA synthesis and ribonucleotide reductase.

Abstract
Recent research into neurodegenerative disorders found that their pathogeneses have a link to the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3R). This is encouraging, because despite extensive efforts, researchers have not fully understood the pathophysiologies of those disorders, and have yet to find the cure. The IP3R provides a possible point of convergence that new therapeutic drugs can target. This review highlights patents that manipulate activities of the IP3R. They generally involve the use of peptides designed from the amino acid sequences of IP3R-binding proteins, and of buffers that limit the availability of its ligand, IP3. Additionally, one of them details the use of a chromophore-conjugated small synthetic molecule to directly inhibit the IP3R in a highly spatiotemporally specific manner. Although many of them have only been tested in vitro or are in the early stages of in vivo application, more research-effective therapies for neurodegenerative diseases can hopefully be developed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and Ca(2+) signaling pathways synergize to regulate many physiological functions. However, little is known about the mechanisms by which these pathways interact. We investigated the synergy between these signaling pathways in mouse pancreatic and salivary gland ducts. METHODS We created mice with disruptions in genes encoding the solute carrier family 26, member 6 (Slc26a6(-/-) mice) and inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (InsP3) receptor-binding protein released with InsP3 (Irbit(-/-)) mice. We investigated fluid secretion by sealed pancreatic ducts and the function of Slc26a6 and the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) in HeLa cells and in ducts isolated from mouse pancreatic and salivary glands. Slc26a6 activity was assayed by measuring intracellular pH, and CFTR activity was assayed by measuring Cl(-) current. Protein interactions were determined by immunoprecipitation analyses. RESULTS Irbit mediated the synergistic activation of CFTR and Slc26a6 by Ca(2+) and cAMP. In resting cells, Irbit was sequestered by InsP3 receptors (IP3Rs) in the endoplasmic reticulum. Stimulation of Gs-coupled receptors led to phosphorylation of IP3Rs, which increased their affinity for InsP3 and reduced their affinity for Irbit. Subsequent weak stimulation of Gq-coupled receptors, which led to production of low levels of IP3, caused dissociation of Irbit from IP3Rs and allowed translocation of Irbit to CFTR and Slc26a6 in the plasma membrane. These processes stimulated epithelial secretion of electrolytes and fluid. These pathways were not observed in pancreatic and salivary glands from Irbit(-/-) or Slc26a6(-/-) mice, or in salivary gland ducts expressing mutant forms of IP3Rs that could not undergo protein kinase A-mediated phosphorylation. CONCLUSIONS Irbit promotes synergy between the Ca(2+) and cAMP signaling pathways in cultured cells and in pancreatic and salivary ducts from mice. Defects in this pathway could be involved in cystic fibrosis, pancreatitis, or Sjögren syndrome.

Abstract
We report that a brief electrical stimulation of the nucleus basalis of Meynert (NBM), the primary source of cholinergic projection to the cerebral cortex, induces a biphasic cerebral cortical blood flow (CBF) response in the somatosensory cortex of C57BL/6J mice. This CBF response, measured by laser Doppler flowmetry, was attenuated by the muscarinic type acetylcholine receptor antagonist atropine, suggesting a possible involvement of astrocytes in this type of CBF modulation. However, we find that IP3R2 knockout mice, which lack cytosolic Ca2+ surges in astrocytes, show similar CBF changes. Moreover, whisker stimulation resulted in similar degrees of CBF increase in IP3R2 knockout mice and the background strain C57BL/6J. Our results show that neural activity-driven CBF modulation could occur without large cytosolic increases of Ca2+ in astrocytes.

Abstract
Background Neuronal activity alters calcium ion (Ca2+) dynamics in astrocytes, but the physiologic relevance of these changes is controversial. To examine this issue further, we generated an inducible transgenic mouse model in which the expression of an inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate absorbent, “IP3 sponge”, attenuates astrocytic Ca2+ signaling. Results Attenuated Ca2+ activity correlated with reduced astrocytic coverage of asymmetric synapses in the hippocampal CA1 region in these animals. The decreased astrocytic ‘protection’ of the synapses facilitated glutamate ‘spillover’, which was reflected by prolonged glutamate transporter currents in stratum radiatum astrocytes and enhanced N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor currents in CA1 pyramidal neurons in response to burst stimulation. These mice also exhibited behavioral impairments in spatial reference memory and remote contextual fear memory, in which hippocampal circuits are involved. Conclusions Our findings suggest that IP3-mediated astrocytic Ca2+ signaling correlates with the formation of functional tripartite synapses in the hippocampus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We previously reported that the σ1-receptor (σ1R) is down-regulated following cardiac hypertrophy and dysfunction in transverse aortic constriction (TAC) mice. Here we address how σ1R stimulation with the selective σ1R agonist SA4503 restores hypertrophy-induced cardiac dysfunction through σ1R localized in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). METHODS We first confirmed anti-hypertrophic effects of SA4503 (0.1-1μM) in cultured cardiomyocytes exposed to angiotensin II (Ang II). Then, to confirm the ameliorative effects of σ1R stimulation in vivo, we administered SA4503 (1.0mg/kg) and the σ1R antagonist NE-100 (1.0mg/kg) orally to TAC mice for 4weeks (once daily). RESULTS σ1R stimulation with SA4503 significantly inhibited Ang II-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. Ang II exposure for 72h impaired phenylephrine (PE)-induced Ca(2+) mobilization from the SR into both the cytosol and mitochondria. Treatment of cardiomyocytes with SA4503 largely restored PE-induced Ca(2+) mobilization into mitochondria. Exposure of cardiomyocytes to Ang II for 72h decreased basal ATP content and PE-induced ATP production concomitant with reduced mitochondrial size, while SA4503 treatment completely restored ATP production and mitochondrial size. Pretreatment with NE-100 or siRNA abolished these effects. Chronic SA4503 administration also significantly attenuated myocardial hypertrophy and restored ATP production in TAC mice. SA4503 administration also decreased hypertrophy-induced impairments in LV contractile function. CONCLUSIONS σ1R stimulation with the specific agonist SA4503 ameliorates cardiac hypertrophy and dysfunction by restoring both mitochondrial Ca(2+) mobilization and ATP production via σ1R stimulation. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE Our observations suggest that σ1R stimulation represents a new therapeutic strategy to rescue the heart from hypertrophic dysfunction.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5'-triphosphate receptor II (IP(3)RII) calcium channel expression is increased in both hypertrophic failing human myocardium and experimentally induced models of the disease. The ectopic calcium released from these receptors induces pro-hypertrophic gene expression and may promote arrhythmias. Here, we show that IP(3)RII expression was constitutively restrained by the muscle-specific miRNA, miR-133a. During the hypertrophic response to pressure overload or neurohormonal stimuli, miR-133a down-regulation permitted IP(3)RII levels to increase, instigating pro-hypertrophic calcium signaling and concomitant pathological remodeling. Using a combination of in vivo and in vitro approaches, we demonstrated that IP(3)-induced calcium release (IICR) initiated the hypertrophy-associated decrease in miR-133a. In this manner, hypertrophic stimuli that engage IICR set a feed-forward mechanism in motion whereby IICR decreased miR-133a expression, further augmenting IP(3)RII levels and therefore pro-hypertrophic calcium release. Consequently, IICR can be considered as both an initiating event and a driving force for pathological remodeling.

Caspase 3 cleavage of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor does not contribute to apoptotic calcium release. Cell Calcium 2012; 53:152-8.

Abstract
An important role in the regulation of apoptotic calcium release is played by the ubiquitously expressed family of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP(3)R) channels. One model for IP(3)R activation during apoptosis is cleavage by the apoptotic protease caspase 3. Here we show that early elevations in cytosolic calcium during apoptosis do not require caspase 3 activity. We detected a robust increase in calcium levels in response to staurosporine treatment in primary human fibroblasts and HeLa cells in the presence of the caspase inhibitor Z-VAD, indicating that calcium release during the initiation of apoptosis occurs independently of caspase 3. Similar results were obtained with MCF-7 cells which lack caspase 3 expression. Stable expression of caspase 3 in MCF-7 cells and TAT-based transduction of the active recombinant caspase 3 directly into living MCF-7 cells had marginal effects on the early events leading to cytosolic calcium elevations and irreversible commitment to apoptotic cell death. Significantly, blocking IP(3) binding to the IP(3)R with an IP(3) sponge resulted in suppression of staurosporine-induced calcium release and cell death. Collectively, our results suggest that generation of IP(3) is sufficient for the initiation of apoptotic calcium signaling, and caspase 3-mediated truncation of IP(3)R channel is a consequence, not causative, of apoptotic calcium release.

[PMID: 22416217 PMCID: PMC3298823 DOI: 10.4196/kjpp.2012.16.1.31] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2011] [Revised: 12/03/2011] [Accepted: 01/10/2012] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
The receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) signal is an activator of tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6), which leads to the activation of NF-κB and other signal transduction pathways essential for osteoclastogenesis, such as Ca2+ signaling. However, the intracellular levels of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and IP3-mediated cellular function of RANKL during osteoclastogenesis are not known. In the present study, we determined the levels of IP3 and evaluated IP3-mediated osteoclast differentiation and osteoclast activity by RANKL treatment of mouse leukemic macrophage cells (RAW 264.7) and mouse bone marrow-derived monocyte/macrophage precursor cells (BMMs). During osteoclastogenesis, the expression levels of Ca2+ signaling proteins such as IP3 receptors (IP3Rs), plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase, and sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase type2 did not change by RANKL treatment for up to 6 days in both cell types. At 24 h after RANKL treatment, a higher steady-state level of IP3 was observed in RAW264.7 cells transfected with green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged pleckstrin homology (PH) domains of phospholipase C (PLC) δ, a probe specifically detecting intracellular IP3 levels. In BMMs, the inhibition of PLC with U73122 [a specific inhibitor of phospholipase C (PLC)] and of IP3Rs with 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2APB; a non-specific inhibitor of IP3Rs) inhibited the generation of RANKL-induced multinucleated cells and decreased the bone-resorption rate in dentin slice, respectively. These results suggest that intracellular IP3 levels and the IP3-mediated signaling pathway play an important role in RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans is an established model system that is particularly well suited to genetic analysis. C. elegans is easily manipulated and we have an in depth knowledge of many aspects of its biology. Thus, it is an attractive system in which to pursue integrated studies of signalling pathways. C. elegans has a complement of calcium signalling molecules similar to that of other animals. SCOPE OF REVIEW We focus on IP3 signalling. We describe how forward and reverse genetic approaches, including RNAi, have resulted in a tool kit which enables the analysis of IP3/Ca2+ signalling pathways. The importance of cell and tissue specific manipulation of signalling pathways and the use of epistasis analysis are highlighted. We discuss how these tools have increased our understanding of IP3 signalling in specific developmental, physiological and behavioural roles. Approaches to imaging calcium signals in C. elegans are considered. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS A wide selection of tools is available for the analysis of IP3/Ca2+ signalling in C. elegans. This has resulted in detailed descriptions of the function of IP3/Ca2+ signalling in the animal's biology. Nevertheless many questions about how IP3 signalling regulates specific processes remain. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE Many of the approaches described may be applied to other calcium signalling systems. C. elegans offers the opportunity to dissect pathways, perform integrated studies and to test the importance of the properties of calcium signalling molecules to whole animal function, thus illuminating the function of calcium signalling in animals. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Biochemical, biophysical and genetic approaches to intracellular calcium signalling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3R) are expressed in almost all animal cells. Three mammalian genes encode closely related IP3R subunits, which assemble into homo- or hetero-tetramers to form intracellular Ca2+ channels. SCOPE OF THE REVIEW In this brief review, we first consider a variety of complementary methods that allow the links between IP3 binding and channel gating to be defined. How does IP3 binding to the IP3-binding core in each IP3R subunit cause opening of a cation-selective pore formed by residues towards the C-terminal? We then describe methods that allow IP3, Ca2+ signals and IP3R mobility to be examined in intact cells. A final section briefly considers genetic analyses of IP3R signalling. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS All IP3R are regulated by both IP3 and Ca2+. This allows them to initiate and regeneratively propagate intracellular Ca2+ signals. The elementary Ca2+ release events evoked by IP3 in intact cells are mediated by very small numbers of active IP3R and the Ca2+-mediated interactions between them. The spatial organization of these Ca2+ signals and their stochastic dependence on so few IP3Rs highlight the need for methods that allow the spatial organization of IP3R signalling to be addressed with single-molecule resolution. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE A variety of complementary methods provide insight into the structural basis of IP3R activation and the contributions of IP3-evoked Ca2+ signals to cellular physiology.

Abstract
In this study, the authors explored the utility of a descriptive and predictive bionetwork model for phospholipase C-coupled calcium signalling pathways, built with non-kinetic experimental information. Boolean models generated from these data yield oscillatory activity patterns for both the endoplasmic reticulum resident inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP(3)R) and the plasma-membrane resident canonical transient receptor potential channel 3 (TRPC3). These results are specific as randomisation of the Boolean operators ablates oscillatory pattern formation. Furthermore, knock-out simulations of the IP(3)R, TRPC3 and multiple other proteins recapitulate experimentally derived results. The potential of this approach can be observed by its ability to predict previously undescribed cellular phenotypes using in vitro experimental data. Indeed, our cellular analysis of the developmental and calcium-regulatory protein, DANGER1a, confirms the counter-intuitive predictions from our Boolean models in two highly relevant cellular models. Based on these results, the authors theorise that with sufficient legacy knowledge and/or computational biology predictions, Boolean networks can provide a robust method for predictive modelling of any biological system.

Abstract
Vertebrate left-right (LR) body axis is manifested as an asymmetrical alignment of the internal organs such as the heart and the gut. It has been proposed that the process of LR determination commonly involves a cilia-driven leftward flow in the mammalian node and its equivalents (Kupffer's vesicle in zebrafish and the gastrocoel roof plate in Xenopus). Recently, it was reported that Ca(2+) flux regulates Kupffer's vesicle development and is required for LR determination. As a basis of Ca(2+) flux in many cell types, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) receptor-mediated calcium release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) plays important roles. However, its involvement in LR determination is poorly understood. We investigated the role of IP(3) signaling in LR determination in Xenopus embryos. Microinjection of an IP(3) receptor-function blocking antibody that can inhibit IP(3) calcium channel activity randomized the LR axis in terms of left-sided Pitx2 expression and organ laterality. In addition, an IP(3) sponge that could inhibit IP(3) signaling by binding IP(3) more strongly than the IP(3) receptor impaired LR determination. Examination of the gastrocoel roof plate revealed that the number of cilia was significantly reduced by IP(3) signal blocking. These results provide evidence that IP(3) signaling is involved in LR asymmetry formation in vertebrates.

Abstract
We report on molecular recognition of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P(3)), an important intracellular second messenger, and some related model compounds, cyclohexanediol bisphosphate derivatives (CDP(2)), by ditopic Zn(2+) complexes containing chiral linkers ((S,S)- and (R,R)-11) in aqueous solution at physiological pH. A crystal structure analysis of (S,S)-11 indicated that the distance between two Zn(2+) ions (6.8 A) is suitable for accommodating two phosphate groups at the 4- and 5-positions of Ins(1,4,5)P(3) and two phosphate groups of trans-1,2-CDP(2). (1)H NMR, (31)P NMR, potentiometric pH, and isothermal calorimetric titration data indicate that (S,S)-11 forms 1:1 complexes with (S,S)- and (R,R)-1,2-CDP(2) at pH 7.4 and 25 degrees C. The apparent 1:1 complexation constants (log K(app)) for (S,S)-11-(S,S)-1,2-CDP(2) and (S,S)-11-(R,R)-1,2-CDP(2) (K(app) = [(S,S)-11-1,2-CDP(2) complex]/[(S,S)-11][1,2-CDP(2)] (M(-1))) were determined to be 7.6 +/- 0.1 and 7.3 +/- 0.1, respectively, demonstrating that both enantiomers of 11 bind to chiral trans-1,2-CDP(2) to almost the same extent. The log K(app) value of 6.3 was obtained for a 1:1 complex of (S,S)-11 with cis-1,3-CDP(2), while a small amount of 2:1 (S,S)-11-cis-1,3-CDP(2) was detected, as evidenced by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). In contrast, 11 formed several complexes with trans-1,4-CDP(2). On the basis of isothermal titration calorimetry data for (S,S)- and (R,R)-11 with Ins(1,4,5)P(3), it was concluded that 11 forms a 2:1 complex with Ins(1,4,5)P(3), in which the first molecule of 11 binds to the 4- and 5-phosphates of Ins(1,4,5)P(3) and the second molecule of 11 binds to the 1- and 5-phosphates.

Abstract
RATIONALE Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) is a second messenger that regulates intracellular Ca(2+) release through IP(3) receptors located in the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum of cardiac myocytes. Many prohypertrophic G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling events lead to IP(3) liberation, although its importance in transducing the hypertrophic response has not been established in vivo. OBJECTIVE Here, we generated conditional, heart-specific transgenic mice with both gain- and loss-of-function for IP(3) receptor signaling to examine its hypertrophic growth effects following pathological and physiological stimulation. METHODS AND RESULTS Overexpression of the mouse type-2 IP(3) receptor (IP(3)R2) in the heart generated mild baseline cardiac hypertrophy at 3 months of age. Isolated myocytes from overexpressing lines showed increased Ca(2+) transients and arrhythmias in response to endothelin-1 stimulation. Although low levels of IP(3)R2 overexpression failed to augment/synergize cardiac hypertrophy following 2 weeks of pressure-overload stimulation, such levels did enhance hypertrophy following 2 weeks of isoproterenol infusion, in response to Galphaq overexpression, and/or in response to exercise stimulation. To inhibit IP(3) signaling in vivo, we generated transgenic mice expressing an IP(3) chelating protein (IP(3)-sponge). IP(3)-sponge transgenic mice abrogated cardiac hypertrophy in response to isoproterenol and angiotensin II infusion but not pressure-overload stimulation. Mechanistically, IP(3)R2-enhanced cardiac hypertrophy following isoproterenol infusion was significantly reduced in the calcineurin-Abeta-null background. CONCLUSION These results indicate that IP(3)-mediated Ca(2+) release plays a central role in regulating cardiac hypertrophy downstream of GPCR signaling, in part, through a calcineurin-dependent mechanism.

Abstract
The structural precursor polyprotein, Gag, encoded by all retroviruses, including the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), is necessary and sufficient for the assembly and release of particles that morphologically resemble immature virus particles. Previous studies have shown that the addition of Ca(2+) to cells expressing Gag enhances virus particle production. However, no specific cellular factor has been implicated as mediator of Ca(2+) provision. The inositol (1,4,5)-triphosphate receptor (IP3R) gates intracellular Ca(2+) stores. Following activation by binding of its ligand, IP3, it releases Ca(2+) from the stores. We demonstrate here that IP3R function is required for efficient release of HIV-1 virus particles. Depletion of IP3R by small interfering RNA, sequestration of its activating ligand by expression of a mutated fragment of IP3R that binds IP3 with very high affinity, or blocking formation of the ligand by inhibiting phospholipase C-mediated hydrolysis of the precursor, phosphatidylinositol-4,5-biphosphate, inhibited Gag particle release. These disruptions, as well as interference with ligand-receptor interaction using antibody targeted to the ligand-binding site on IP3R, blocked plasma membrane accumulation of Gag. These findings identify IP3R as a new determinant in HIV-1 trafficking during Gag assembly and introduce IP3R-regulated Ca(2+) signaling as a potential novel cofactor in viral particle release.

Abstract
Background While intracellular buffers are widely used to study calcium signaling, no such tool exists for the other major second messenger, cyclic AMP (cAMP). Methods/Principal Findings Here we describe a genetically encoded buffer for cAMP based on the high-affinity cAMP-binding carboxy-terminus of the regulatory subunit RIβ of protein kinase A (PKA). Addition of targeting sequences permitted localization of this fragment to the extra-nuclear compartment, while tagging with mCherry allowed quantification of its expression at the single cell level. This construct (named “cAMP sponge”) was shown to selectively bind cAMP in vitro. Its expression significantly suppressed agonist-induced cAMP signals and the downstream activation of PKA within the cytosol as measured by FRET-based sensors in single living cells. Point mutations in the cAMP-binding domains of the construct rendered the chimera unable to bind cAMP in vitro or in situ. Cyclic AMP sponge was fruitfully applied to examine feedback regulation of gap junction-mediated transfer of cAMP in epithelial cell couplets. Conclusions This newest member of the cAMP toolbox has the potential to reveal unique biological functions of cAMP, including insight into the functional significance of compartmentalized signaling events.

Abstract
Background Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P2] is a critically important regulatory phospholipid found in the plasma membrane of all eukaryotic cells. In addition to being a precursor of important second messengers, PtdIns(4,5)P2 also regulates ion channels and transporters and serves the endocytic machinery by recruiting clathrin adaptor proteins. Visualization of the localization and dynamic changes in PtdIns(4,5)P2 levels in living cells is critical to understanding the biology of PtdIns(4,5)P2. This has been mostly achieved with the use of the pleckstrin homology (PH) domain of PLCδ1 fused to GFP. Here we report on a comparative analysis of several recently-described yeast PH domains as well as the mammalian Tubby domain to evaluate their usefulness as PtdIns(4,5)P2 imaging tools. Results All of the yeast PH domains that have been previously shown to bind PtdIns(4,5)P2 showed plasma membrane localization but only a subset responded to manipulations of plasma membrane PtdIns(4,5)P2. None of these domains showed any advantage over the PLCδ1PH-GFP reporter and were compromised either in their expression levels, nuclear localization or by causing peculiar membrane structures. In contrast, the Tubby domain showed high membrane localization consistent with PtdIns(4,5)P2 binding and displayed no affinity for the soluble headgroup, Ins(1,4,5)P3. Detailed comparison of the Tubby and PLCδ1PH domains showed that the Tubby domain has a higher affinity for membrane PtdIns(4,5)P2 and therefore displays a lower sensitivity to report on changes of this lipid during phospholipase C activation. Conclusion These results showed that both the PLCδ1PH-GFP and the GFP-Tubby domain are useful reporters of PtdIns(4,5)P2 changes in the plasma membrane, with distinct advantages and disadvantages. While the PLCδ1PH-GFP is a more sensitive reporter, its Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding may compromise its accuracy to measure PtdIns(4,5)P2changes. The Tubby domain is more accurate to report on PtdIns(4,5)P2 but its higher affinity and lower sensitivity may limit its utility when phospholipase C activation is only moderate. These studies also demonstrated that similar changes in PtdIns(4,5)P2 levels in the plasma membrane can differentially regulate multiple effectors if they display different affinities to PtdIns(4,5)P2.

Abstract
We evaluated the role of IP(3) in sugar taste reception in Drosophila melanogaster by inactivating the IP(3) signaling using genetic tools. We used the "IP(3) sponge," composed of the modified ligand-binding domain from the mouse IP(3) receptor, which was designed to absorb IP(3) in competition with native IP(3) receptors. Another tool was a transgene that generates double-stranded RNA against IP(3) receptor mRNA. Both inhibitors diminished the sensitivity of flies to trehalose and sucrose, as estimated by behavioral assays and electrophysiological recordings from the sugar receptor cells. The result indicates that IP(3) signaling is indispensable for sugar reception in Drosophila.
