Intracellular pathways of calcitonin gene-related peptide-induced relaxation of human coronary arteries: A key role for Gβγ subunit instead of cAMP. Br J Pharmacol 2024; 181:2478-2491. [PMID: 38583945 DOI: 10.1111/bph.16372] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2023] [Revised: 03/01/2024] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 04/09/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a potent vasodilator. While its signalling is assumed to be mediated via increases in cAMP, this study focused on elucidating the actual intracellular signalling pathways involved in CGRP-induced relaxation of human isolated coronary arteries (HCA). EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH HCA were obtained from heart valve donors (27 M, 25 F, age 54 ± 2 years). Concentration-response curves to human α-CGRP or forskolin were constructed in HCA segments, incubated with different inhibitors of intracellular signalling pathways, and intracellular cAMP levels were measured with and without stimulation. RESULTS Adenylyl cyclase (AC) inhibitors SQ22536 + DDA and MDL-12330A, and PKA inhibitors Rp-8-Br-cAMPs and H89, did not inhibit CGRP-induced relaxation of HCA, nor did the guanylyl cyclase inhibitor ODQ, PKG inhibitor KT5823, EPAC1/2 inhibitor ESI09, potassium channel blockers TRAM-34 + apamin, iberiotoxin or glibenclamide, or the Gαq inhibitor YM-254890. Phosphodiesterase inhibitors induced a concentration-dependent decrease in the response to KCl but did not potentiate relaxation to CGRP. Relaxation to forskolin was not blocked by PKA or AC inhibitors, although AC inhibitors significantly inhibited the increase in cAMP. Inhibition of Gβγ subunits using gallein significantly inhibited the relaxation to CGRP in human coronary arteries. CONCLUSION While CGRP signalling is generally assumed to act via cAMP, the CGRP-induced vasodilation in HCA was not inhibited by targeting this intracellular signalling pathway at different levels. Instead, inhibition of Gβγ subunits did inhibit the relaxation to CGRP, suggesting a different mechanism of CGRP-induced relaxation than generally believed.

Abstract
Introduction: Couples' relationships defined by a complex interaction between the two partners and their intrapersonal traits. Romantic; relationships and love are associated with marital satisfaction and stability, as well as couples' happiness and health. Personality traits influence romantic relationships and, personality influenced by genetical and non-genetically factors. The roles of non-genetically factors such as socioeconomic position and external appearance have revealed in determining the quality of romantic relationships. Methods: We; performed a scoping systematic review to assess the association between genetics and epigenetic factors and romantic relationship. Relevant articles were identified by PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Scopus, and the APA PsycInfo searching between inception and 4 June 2022. Results: Different studies evaluated the associated polymorphisms in 15 different genes or chromosomal regions. In the first step; we classified them into four groups: (1) Oxytocin-related signaling pathway (OXTR, CD38, and AVPR1A); (2) Serotonin-related signaling pathway (SLC6A4, HTR1A, and HTR2A); (3) Dopamine and catecholamine-related signaling pathway (DRD1, DRD2, DRD4, ANKK1, and COMT); and (4) other genes (HLA, GABRA2, OPRM1, and Y-DNA haplogroup D-M55). Then, we evaluated and extracted significant polymorphisms that affect couple adjustment and romantic relationships. Discussion: Overall, the findings suggest that genetic and epigenetics variants play a key role in marital adjustment and romantic relationships over time.

Abstract
A plethora of cellular functions are controlled by calcium signals, that are greatly coordinated by calcium release from intracellular stores, the principal component of which is the sarco/endooplasmic reticulum (S/ER). In 1997 it was generally accepted that activation of various G protein-coupled receptors facilitated inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) production, activation of IP3 receptors and thus calcium release from S/ER. Adding to this, it was evident that S/ER resident ryanodine receptors (RyRs) could support two opposing cellular functions by delivering either highly localised calcium signals, such as calcium sparks, or by carrying propagating, global calcium waves. Coincidentally, it was reported that RyRs in mammalian cardiac myocytes might be regulated by a novel calcium mobilising messenger, cyclic adenosine diphosphate-ribose (cADPR), that had recently been discovered by HC Lee in sea urchin eggs. A reputedly selective and competitive cADPR antagonist, 8-bromo-cADPR, had been developed and was made available to us. We used 8-bromo-cADPR to further explore our observation that S/ER calcium release via RyRs could mediate two opposing functions, namely pulmonary artery dilation and constriction, in a manner seemingly independent of IP3Rs or calcium influx pathways. Importantly, the work of others had shown that, unlike skeletal and cardiac muscles, smooth muscles might express all three RyR subtypes. If this were the case in our experimental system and cADPR played a role, then 8-bromo-cADPR would surely block one of the opposing RyR-dependent functions identified, or the other, but certainly not both. The latter seemingly implausible scenario was confirmed. How could this be, do cells hold multiple, segregated SR stores that incorporate different RyR subtypes in receipt of spatially segregated signals carried by cADPR? The pharmacological profile of 8-bromo-cADPR action supported not only this, but also indicated that intracellular calcium signals were delivered across intracellular junctions formed by the S/ER. Not just one, at least two. This article retraces the steps along this journey, from the curious pharmacological profile of 8-bromo-cADPR to the discovery of the cell-wide web, a diverse network of cytoplasmic nanocourses demarcated by S/ER nanojunctions, which direct site-specific calcium flux and may thus coordinate the full panoply of cellular processes.

Abstract
Ca2+ coordinates diverse cellular processes, yet how function-specific signals arise is enigmatic. We describe a cell-wide network of distinct cytoplasmic nanocourses with the nucleus at its centre, demarcated by sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) junctions (≤400 nm across) that restrict Ca2+ diffusion and by nanocourse-specific Ca2+-pumps that facilitate signal segregation. Ryanodine receptor subtype 1 (RyR1) supports relaxation of arterial myocytes by unloading Ca2+ into peripheral nanocourses delimited by plasmalemma-SR junctions, fed by sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase 2b (SERCA2b). Conversely, stimulus-specified increases in Ca2+ flux through RyR2/3 clusters selects for rapid propagation of Ca2+ signals throughout deeper extraperinuclear nanocourses and thus myocyte contraction. Nuclear envelope invaginations incorporating SERCA1 in their outer nuclear membranes demarcate further diverse networks of cytoplasmic nanocourses that receive Ca2+ signals through discrete RyR1 clusters, impacting gene expression through epigenetic marks segregated by their associated invaginations. Critically, this circuit is not hardwired and remodels for different outputs during cell proliferation. Although calcium signals are known to be critical for many cellular processes, how signaling elicits specific functions remains unclear. In visually striking work, Duan et al. reveal that networks of cytoplasmic nanocourses orchestrate cell activity by directing site-specific calcium signals.

Abstract
Interstitial cystitis is a syndrome characterized by detrusor overactivity and chronic inflammation of the bladder. The mechanisms responsible for the altered smooth muscle contractility remain poorly understood. The aim of the study was to investigate the role of intracellular signalling pathways in carbachol-induced detrusor contraction in a rat model of interstitial cystitis. Cyclophosphamide (150 mg/kg, dissolved in saline) was injected to rats (Sprague-Dawley, female, 200-250 g) intraperitoneally once a day on days 1, 4 and 7 to induce interstitial cystitis. Control groups were injected with saline (0.9% NaCl). Detrusor smooth muscle strips were mounted in 1-ml organ baths containing HEPES-buffered modified Krebs' solution and permeabilized with 40 μM β-escin for 30 min. Carbachol-induced contractions were significantly increased from 21.2 ± 1.6% (saline-treated) to 44 ± 4.4% in cyclophosphamide-treated group. The Rho kinase inhibitor Y-27632 (8.8 ± 2%) and the protein kinase C inhibitor GF-109203X (11.7 ± 2.8%) inhibited the increased contractile response (44 ± 4.4%) in rats with cystitis. The increased carbachol-induced contraction (44 ± 4.4%) was also significantly inhibited by the sarcoplasmic reticulum ryanodine channel blocker ryanodine (25.8 ± 3.2%) and the sarcoplasmic reticulum IP3 receptor blocker heparin (17.2 ± 2.2%) in cystitis. RhoA protein levels in the bladder of cyclophosphamide-treated rats were significantly increased while pan-protein kinase C (α, β and γ isoforms) protein expression was unaltered between experimental groups. Carbachol-induced calcium sensitization at constant and clamped calcium (pCa 6) was also increased in cystitis (from 15.8 ± 2.2% to 24.7 ± 2.8%). This increased response (24.7 ± 2.8%) was significantly inhibited by both Y-27632 (7.9 ± 0.7%) and GF-109203X (4.4 ± 1.5%). We conclude that interstitial cystitis is characterized by an enhanced carbachol contractile response as well as by calcium sensitization of the detrusor smooth muscle. Activation of Rho kinase and protein kinase C pathways may be the molecular culprits responsible for the augmented muscarinic response observed in cystitis.

Abstract
Vascular tone of resistance arteries and arterioles determines peripheral vascular resistance, contributing to the regulation of blood pressure and blood flow to, and within the body's tissues and organs. Ion channels in the plasma membrane and endoplasmic reticulum of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in these blood vessels importantly contribute to the regulation of intracellular Ca2+ concentration, the primary determinant of SMC contractile activity and vascular tone. Ion channels provide the main source of activator Ca2+ that determines vascular tone, and strongly contribute to setting and regulating membrane potential, which, in turn, regulates the open-state-probability of voltage gated Ca2+ channels (VGCCs), the primary source of Ca2+ in resistance artery and arteriolar SMCs. Ion channel function is also modulated by vasoconstrictors and vasodilators, contributing to all aspects of the regulation of vascular tone. This review will focus on the physiology of VGCCs, voltage-gated K+ (KV) channels, large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (BKCa) channels, strong-inward-rectifier K+ (KIR) channels, ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channels, ryanodine receptors (RyRs), inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs), and a variety of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels that contribute to pressure-induced myogenic tone in resistance arteries and arterioles, the modulation of the function of these ion channels by vasoconstrictors and vasodilators, their role in the functional regulation of tissue blood flow and their dysfunction in diseases such as hypertension, obesity, and diabetes. © 2017 American Physiological Society.

Abstract
Vasoactive agents may induce myocyte contraction, dilation, and the switch from a contractile to a migratory-proliferative phenotype(s), which requires changes in gene expression. These processes are directed, in part, by Ca2+ signals, but how different Ca2+ signals are generated to select each function is enigmatic. We have previously proposed that the strategic positioning of Ca2+ pumps and release channels at membrane-membrane junctions of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) demarcates cytoplasmic nanodomains, within which site- and function-specific Ca2+ signals arise. This chapter will describe how nanojunctions of the SR may: (1) define cytoplasmic nanospaces about the plasma membrane, mitochondria, contractile myofilaments, lysosomes, and the nucleus; (2) provide for functional segregation by restricting passive diffusion and by coordinating active ion transfer within a given nanospace via resident Ca2+ pumps and release channels; (3) select for contraction, relaxation, and/or changes in gene expression; and (4) facilitate the switch in myocyte phenotype through junctional reorganization. This should serve to highlight the need for further exploration of cellular nanojunctions and the mechanisms by which they operate, that will undoubtedly open up new therapeutic horizons.

Abstract
Calcium signals determine, for example, smooth muscle contraction and changes in gene expression. How calcium signals select for these processes is enigmatic. We build on the "panjunctional sarcoplasmic reticulum" hypothesis, describing our view that different calcium pumps and release channels, with different kinetics and affinities for calcium, are strategically positioned within nanojunctions of the SR and help demarcate their respective cytoplasmic nanodomains. SERCA2b and RyR1 are preferentially targeted to the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) proximal to the plasma membrane (PM), i.e., to the superficial buffer barrier formed by PM-SR nanojunctions, and support vasodilation. In marked contrast, SERCA2a may be entirely restricted to the deep, perinuclear SR and may supply calcium to this sub-compartment in support of vasoconstriction. RyR3 is also preferentially targeted to the perinuclear SR, where its clusters associate with lysosome-SR nanojunctions. The distribution of RyR2 is more widespread and extends from this region to the wider cell. Therefore, perinuclear RyR3s most likely support the initiation of global calcium waves at L-SR junctions, which subsequently propagate by calcium-induced calcium release via RyR2 in order to elicit contraction. Data also suggest that unique SERCA and RyR are preferentially targeted to invaginations of the nuclear membrane. Site- and function-specific calcium signals may thus arise to modulate stimulus-response coupling and transcriptional cascades.

Abstract
Two-pore channels (TPC1, 2, and 3) are recently identified endolysosmal ion channels, but remain poorly characterized. In this study, we show for the first time a role for TPC1 in cytokinesis, the final step in cell division. HEK 293 T-REx cells inducibly overexpressing TPC1 demonstrated a lack of proliferation accompanied by multinucleation and an increase in G2/M cycling cells. Increased TPC1 was associated with a concomitant accumulation of active RhoGTP and a decrease in phosphorylated myosin light chain (MLC). Finally, we demonstrated a novel interaction between TPC1 and citron kinase (CIT). These results identify TPC1 as a central component of cytokinetic control, specifically during abscission, and introduce a means by which the endolysosomal system may play an active role in this process.

Abstract
Oxytocin (OT) is released into the brain from the cell soma, axons, and dendrites of neurosecretory cells in the hypothalamus. Locally released OT can activate OT receptors, form inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate and elevate intracellular free calcium (Ca2+) concentrations [(Ca2+)i] in self and neighboring neurons in the hypothalamus, resulting in further OT release: i.e., autocrine or paracrine systems of OT-induced OT release. CD38-dependent cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) is also involved in this autoregulation by elevating [Ca2+]i via Ca2+ mobilization through ryanodine receptors on intracellular Ca2+ pools that are sensitive to both Ca2+ and cADPR. In addition, it has recently been reported that heat stimulation and hyperthermia enhance [Ca2+]i increases by Ca2+ influx, probably through TRPM2 cation channels, suggesting that cADPR and TRPM2 molecules act as Ca2+ signal amplifiers. Thus, OT release is not simply due to depolarization–secretion coupling. Both of these molecules play critical roles not only during labor and milk ejection in reproductive females, but also during social behavior in daily life in both genders. This was clearly demonstrated in CD38 knockout mice in that social behavior was impaired by reduction of [Ca2+]i elevation and subsequent OT secretion. Evidence for the associations of CD38 with social behavior and psychiatric disorder is discussed, especially in subjects with autism spectrum disorder.

Abstract
Natural killer (NK) cells are essential for immunosurveillance against transformed cells. Transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) is a Ca(2+)-permeable cation channel gated by ADP-ribose (ADPR). However, the role of TRPM2-mediated Ca(2+) signaling in the antitumor response of NK cells has not been explored. Here, we show that ADPR-mediated Ca(2+) signaling is important for cytolytic granule polarization and degranulation but not involved in target cell recognition by NK cells. The key steps of this pathway are: 1) the activation of intracellular CD38 by protein kinase A following the interaction of the NK cell with a tumor cell results in the production of ADPR, 2) ADPR targets TRPM2 channels on cytolytic granules, and 3) TRPM2-mediated Ca(2+) signaling induces cytolytic granule polarization and degranulation, resulting in antitumor activity. NK cells treated with 8-Br-ADPR, an ADPR antagonist, as well as NK cells from Cd38(-/-) mice showed reduced tumor-induced granule polarization, degranulation, granzyme B secretion, and cytotoxicity of NK cells. Furthermore, TRPM2-deficient NK cells showed an intrinsic defect in tumoricidal activity. These results highlight CD38, ADPR, and TRPM2 as key players in the specialized Ca(2+) signaling system involved in the antitumor activity of NK cells.

Abstract
Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) maintains blood oxygenation during acute hypoxia but contributes to pulmonary hypertension during chronic hypoxia. The mechanisms of HPV remain controversial, in part because HPV is usually studied in the presence of agonist-induced preconstriction ('pretone'). This potentiates HPV but may obscure and distort its underlying mechanisms. We therefore carried out an extensive assessment of proposed mechanisms contributing to HPV in isolated intrapulmonary arteries (IPAs) in the absence of pretone by using a conventional small vessel myograph. Hypoxia elicited a biphasic constriction consisting of a small transient (phase 1) superimposed upon a sustained (phase 2) component. Neither phase was affected by the L-type Ca2+ channel antagonists diltiazem (10 and 30 μm) or nifedipine (3 μm). Application of the store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) blockers BTP2 (10 μm) or SKF96365 (50 μm) attenuated phase 2 but not phase 1, whereas a lengthy (30 min) incubation in Ca2+-free physiological saline solution similarly reduced phase 2 but abolished phase 1. No further effect of inhibition of HPV was observed if the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase inhibitor cyclopiazonic acid (30 μm) was also applied during the 30 min incubation in Ca2+-free physiological saline solution. Pretreatment with 10 μm ryanodine and 15 mm caffeine abolished both phases, whereas treatment with 100 μm ryanodine attenuated both phases. The two-pore channel blocker NED-19 (1 μm) and the nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) antagonist BZ194 (200 μm) had no effect on either phase of HPV. The lysosomal Ca2+-depleting agent concanamycin (1 μm) enhanced HPV if applied during hypoxia, but had no effect on HPV during a subsequent hypoxic challenge. The cyclic ADP ribose antagonist 8-bromo-cyclic ADP ribose (30 μm) had no effect on either phase of HPV. Neither the Ca2+-sensing receptor (CaSR) blocker NPS2390 (0.1 and 10 μm) nor FK506 (10 μm), a drug which displaces FKBP12.6 from ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2), had any effect on HPV. HPV was virtually abolished by the rho kinase blocker Y-27632 (1 μm) and attenuated by the protein kinase C inhibitor Gö6983 (3 μm). Hypoxia for 45 min caused a significant increase in the ratio of oxidised to reduced glutathione (GSSG/GSH). HPV was unaffected by the NADPH oxidase inhibitor VAS2870 (10 μm), whereas phase 2 was inhibited but phase 1 was unaffected by the antioxidants ebselen (100 μm) and TEMPOL (3 mm). We conclude that both phases of HPV in this model are mainly dependent on [Ca2+]i release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Neither phase of HPV requires voltage-gated Ca2+ entry, but SOCE contributes to phase 2. We can detect no requirement for cyclic ADP ribose, NAADP-dependent lysosomal Ca2+ release, activation of the CaSR, or displacement of FKBP12.6 from RyR2 for either phase of HPV. Sustained HPV is associated with an oxidising shift in the GSSG/GSH redox potential and is inhibited by the antioxidants ebselen and TEMPOL, consistent with the concept that it requires an oxidising shift in the cell redox state or the generation of reactive oxygen species.

Abstract
Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP), two intracellular Ca2+ mobilizing second messengers, have been recognized as a fundamental signaling mechanism regulating a variety of cell or organ functions in different biological systems. Here we reviewed the literature regarding these ADP-ribosylcyclase products in vascular cells with a major focus on their production, physiological roles, and related underlying mechanisms mediating their actions. In particular, several hot topics in this area of research are comprehensively discussed, which may help understand some of the controversial evidence provided by different studies. For example, some new models are emerging for the agonist receptor coupling of CD38 or ADP-ribosylcyclase and for the formation of an acidic microenvironment to facilitate the production of NAADP in vascular cells. We also summarized the evidence regarding the NAADP-mediated two-phase Ca2+ release with a slow Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR) and corresponding physiological relevance. The possibility of a permanent structural space between lysosomes and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), as well as the critical role of lysosome trafficking in phase 2 Ca2+ release in response to some agonists are also explored. With respect to the molecular targets of NAADP within cells, several possible candidates including SR ryanodine receptors (RyRs), lysosomal transient receptor potential-mucolipin 1 (TRP-ML1) and two pore channels (TPCs) are presented with supporting and opposing evidence. Finally, the possible role of NAADP-mediated regulation of lysosome function in autophagy and atherogenesis is discussed, which may indicate a new direction for further studies on the pathological roles of cADPR and NAADP in the vascular system.

Abstract
This review focuses on how smooth muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), the major releasable Ca(2+) store in these cells, performs its many functions by communicating with the plasma membrane (PM) and other organelles across cytoplasmic nanospaces, defined by membrane-membrane junctions less than 50 nm across. In spite of accumulating evidence in favour of the view that cytoplasmic nanospaces are a prerequisite for effective control of diverse cellular functions, our current understanding of how smooth muscle cells accomplish site- and function-specific Ca(2+) signalling remains in its infancy. We first present evidence in support of the view that effective Ca(2+) signalling depends on the restricted diffusion of Ca(2+) within cytoplasmic nanospaces. We then develop an evidence-based model of the smooth muscle SR - the 'pan-junctional SR' model - that incorporates a network of tubules and quilts that are capable of auto-regulating their Ca(2+) content and determining junctional [Ca(2+)]i through loading and unloading at membrane-membrane nanojunctions. Thereby, we provide a novel working hypothesis in order to inform future investigation into the control of a variety of cellular functions by local Ca(2+) signals at junctional nanospaces, from contraction and energy metabolism to nuclear transcription. Based on the current literature, we discuss the molecular mechanisms whereby the SR mediates these multiple functions through the interaction of ion channels and pumps embedded in apposing membranes within inter-organellar junctions. We finally highlight the fact that although most current hypotheses are qualitatively supported by experimental data, solid quantitative simulations are seriously lacking. Considering that at physiological concentrations the number of calcium ions in a typical junctional nanospace between the PM and SR is of the order of 1, ion concentration variability plays a major role as the currency of information transfer and stochastic quantitative modelling will be required to both test and develop working hypotheses.

Abstract
Here, we review the functional roles of cyclic ADP-ribose and CD38, a transmembrane protein with ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity, in mouse social behavior via the regulation of oxytocin (OXT) release, an essential component of social cognition. Herein we describe data detailing the molecular mechanism of CD38-dependent OXT secretion in CD38 knockout mice. We also review studies that used OXT, OXT receptor (OXTR), or CD38 knockout mice. Additionally, we compare the behavioral impairments that occur in these knockout mice in relation to the OXT system and CD38. This review also examines autism spectrum disorder (ASD), which is characterized by social and communication impairments, in relation to defects in the OXT system. Two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the human CD38 gene are possible risk factors for ASD via inhibition of OXT function. Further analysis of CD38 in relation to the OXT system may provide a better understanding of the neuroendocrinological roles of OXT and CD38 in the hypothalamus and of the pathophysiology of ASD. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Oxytocin, Vasopressin, and Social Behavior.

Abstract
Previously, we demonstrated that CD38, a transmembrane protein with ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity, plays a critical role in mouse social behavior by regulating the release of oxytocin (OXT), which is essential for mutual recognition. When CD38 was disrupted, social amnesia was observed in Cd38 knockout mice. The autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), characterized by defects in reciprocal social interaction and communication, occur either sporadically or in a familial pattern. However, the etiology of ASDs remains largely unknown. Therefore, the theoretical basis for pharmacological treatments has not been established. Hence, there is a rationale for investigating single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the human CD38 gene in ASD subjects. We found several SNPs in this gene. The SNP rs3796863 (C>A) was associated with high-functioning autism (HFA) in American samples from the Autism Gene Resource Exchange. Although this finding was partially confirmed in low-functioning autism subjects in Israel, it has not been replicated in Japanese HFA subjects. The second SNP of interest, rs1800561 (4693C>T), leads to the substitution of an arginine (R) at codon 140 by tryptophan (W; R140W) in CD38. This mutation was found in four probands of ASD and in family members of three pedigrees with variable levels of ASD or ASD traits. The plasma levels of OXT in ASD subjects with the R140W allele were lower than those in ASD subjects lacking this allele. The OXT levels were unchanged in healthy subjects with or without this mutation. One proband with the R140W allele receiving intranasal OXT for approximately 3years showed improvement in areas of social approach, eye contact and communication behaviors, emotion, irritability, and aggression. Five other ASD subjects with mental deficits received nasal OXT for various periods; three subjects showed improved symptoms, while two showed little or no effect. These results suggest that SNPs in CD38 may be possible risk factors for ASD by abrogating OXT function and that some ASD subjects can be treated with OXT in preliminary clinical trials.

Abstract
The mechanism by which cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose (cADPR) and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) mobilize intracellular Ca(2+) stores remains controversial. It is open to question whether cADPR regulates ryanodine receptors (RyRs) directly, as originally proposed, or indirectly by promoting Ca(2+) uptake into the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum by sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPases. Conversely, although we have proposed that NAADP mobilizes endolysosomal Ca(2+) stores by activating two-pore domain channels (TPCs), others suggest that NAADP directly activates RyRs. We therefore assessed Ca(2+) signals evoked by intracellular dialysis from a patch pipette of cADPR and NAADP into HEK293 cells that stably overexpress either TPC1, TPC2, RyR1, or RyR3. No change in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration was triggered by cADPR in either wild-type HEK293 cells (which are devoid of RyRs) or in cells that stably overexpress TPC1 and TPC2, respectively. By contrast, a marked Ca(2+) transient was triggered by cADPR in HEK293 cells that stably expressed RyR1 and RyR3. The Ca(2+) transient was abolished following depletion of endoplasmic reticulum stores by thapsigargin and block of RyRs by dantrolene but not following depletion of acidic Ca(2+) stores by bafilomycin. By contrast, NAADP failed to evoke a Ca(2+) transient in HEK293 cells that expressed RyR1 or RyR3, but it induced robust Ca(2+) transients in cells that stably overexpressed TPC1 or TPC2 and in a manner that was blocked following depletion of acidic stores by bafilomycin. We conclude that cADPR triggers Ca(2+) release by activating RyRs but not TPCs, whereas NAADP activates TPCs but not RyRs.

Abstract
Agonists such as those acting at muscarinic receptors are thought to induce contraction of smooth muscle primarily through inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate production and release of Ca2+ from sarcoplasmic reticulum. However, the additional Ca2+-mobilizing messengers cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose (cADPR) and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) may also be involved in this process, the former acting on the sarcoplasmic reticulum, the latter acting on lysosome-related organelles. In this study, we provide the first systematic analysis of the capacity of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, cADPR, and NAADP to cause contraction in smooth muscle. Using permeabilized guinea pig detrusor and taenia caecum, we show that all three Ca2+-mobilizing messengers cause contractions in both types of smooth muscle. We demonstrate that cADPR and NAADP play differential roles in mediating contraction in response to muscarinic receptor activation, with a sizeable role for NAADP and acidic calcium stores in detrusor muscle but not in taenia caecum, underscoring the heterogeneity of smooth muscle signal transduction systems. Two-pore channel proteins (TPCs) have recently been shown to be key components of the NAADP receptor. We show that contractile responses to NAADP were completely abolished, and agonist-evoked contractions were reduced and now became independent of acidic calcium stores in Tpcn2−/− mouse detrusor smooth muscle. Our findings provide the first evidence that TPC proteins mediate a key NAADP-regulated tissue response brought about by agonist activation of a cell surface receptor.

Abstract
In pulmonary arterial smooth muscle, Ca(2+) release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) via ryanodine receptors (RyRs) may induce constriction and dilation in a manner that is not mutually exclusive. We show here that the targeting of different sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPases (SERCA) and RyR subtypes to discrete SR regions explains this paradox. Western blots identified protein bands for SERCA2a and SERCA2b, whereas immunofluorescence labeling of isolated pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells revealed striking differences in the spatial distribution of SERCA2a and SERCA2b and RyR1, RyR2, and RyR3, respectively. Almost all SERCA2a and RyR3 labeling was restricted to a region within 1.5 microm of the nucleus. In marked contrast, SERCA2b labeling was primarily found within 1.5 microm of the plasma membrane, where labeling for RyR1 was maximal. The majority of labeling for RyR2 lay in between these two regions of the cell. Application of the vasoconstrictor endothelin-1 induced global Ca(2+) waves in pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells, which were markedly attenuated upon depletion of SR Ca(2+) stores by preincubation of cells with the SERCA inhibitor thapsigargin but remained unaffected after preincubation of cells with a second SERCA antagonist, cyclopiazonic acid. We conclude that functionally segregated SR Ca(2+) stores exist within pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells. One sits proximal to the plasma membrane, receives Ca(2+) via SERCA2b, and likely releases Ca(2+) via RyR1 to mediate vasodilation. The other is located centrally, receives Ca(2+) via SERCA2a, and likely releases Ca(2+) via RyR3 and RyR2 to initiate vasoconstriction.

Abstract
The mobilisation of intracellular Ca(2+) stores plays a pivotal role in the regulation of arterial smooth muscle function, paradoxically during both contraction and relaxation. Moreover, different spatiotemporal Ca(2+) signalling patterns may trigger differential gene expression while mediating the same functional response. These facts alone serve to highlight the importance of the growing body of evidence in support of the view that different Ca(2+) storing organelles may be selected by the discrete or co-ordinated actions of multiple Ca(2+) mobilising messengers. In this respect, it is generally accepted that sarcoplasmic reticulum stores may be mobilised by the ubiquitous messenger inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate. However, relatively little attention has been paid to the role of Ca(2+) mobilising pyridine nucleotides in arterial smooth muscle, namely cyclic adenosine diphosphate-ribose and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate. This review will, therefore, focus on the role of these novel Ca(2+) mobilising messengers in pulmonary arterial smooth muscle, with particular reference to hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction.

Abstract
Vital homeostatic mechanisms monitor O2 supply and adjust respiratory and circulatory function to meet demand. The pulmonary arteries and carotid bodies are key systems in this respect. Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) aids ventilation-perfusion matching in the lung by diverting blood flow from areas with an O2 deficit to those rich in O2, while a fall in arterial pO2 increases sensory afferent discharge from the carotid body to elicit corrective changes in breathing patterns. We discuss here the new concept that hypoxia, by inhibiting oxidative phosphorylation, activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) leading to consequent phosphorylation of target proteins, such as ion channels, which initiate pulmonary artery constriction and carotid body activation. Consistent with this view, AMPK knockout mice exhibit an impaired ventilatory response to hypoxia. Thus, AMPK may be sufficient and necessary for hypoxia-response coupling and may regulate O2 and thereby energy (ATP) supply at the whole body as well as the cellular level.

Abstract
Locally released oxytocin (OT) activates OT receptors (2.1:OXY:1:OT:) in neighboring neurons in the hypothalamus and their terminals in the posterior pituitary, resulting in further OT release, best known in autoregulation occurring during labor or milk ejection in reproductive females. OT also plays a critical role in social behavior of non-reproductive females and even in males in mammals from rodents to humans. Social behavior is disrupted when elevation of free intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) and OT secretion are reduced in male and female CD38 knockout mice. Therefore, it is interesting to investigate whether ADP-ribosyl cyclase-dependent signaling is involved in OT-induced OT release for social recognition in males, independent from female reproduction, and to determine its molecular mechanism. Here, we report that ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity was increased by OT in crude membrane preparations of the hypothalamus and posterior pituitary in male mice, and that OT elicited an increase in [Ca(2+)](i) in the isolated terminals over a period of 5 min. The increases in cyclase and [Ca(2+)](i) were partially inhibited by nonspecific protein kinase inhibitors and a protein kinase C specific inhibitor, calphostin C. Subsequently, OT-induced OT release was also inhibited by calphostin C to levels inhibited by vasotocin, an OT receptor antagonist, and 8-bromo-cADP-ribose. These results demonstrate that OT receptors are functionally coupled to membrane-bound ADP-ribosyl cyclase and/or CD38 and suggest that cADPR-mediated intracellular calcium signaling is involved in autoregulation of OT release, which is sensitive to protein kinase C, in the hypothalamus and neurohypophysis in male mice.

Decreased ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from diabetic patients with nephropathy. EXPERIMENTAL DIABETES RESEARCH 2009; 2008:897508. [PMID: 19300526 PMCID: PMC2656910 DOI: 10.1155/2008/897508] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2008] [Accepted: 12/12/2008] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Aims/hypothesis. ADP-ribosyl-cyclase activity (ADPRCA) of CD38 and other ectoenzymes mainly generate cyclic adenosine 5’diphosphate-(ADP-) ribose (cADPR) as a second messenger in various mammalian cells, including pancreatic beta cells and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Since PBMCs contribute to the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy, ADPRCA of PBMCs could serve as a clinical prognostic marker for diabetic nephropathy. This study aimed to investigate the connection between ADPRCA in PBMCs and diabetic complications.
Methods. PBMCs from 60 diabetic patients (10 for type 1 and 50 for type 2) and 15 nondiabetic controls were fluorometrically measured for ADPRCA based on the conversion of nicotinamide guanine dinucleotide (NGD+) into cyclic GDP-ribose.
Results. ADPRCA negatively correlated with the level of HbA1c (P = .040, R2 = .073), although ADPRCA showed no significant correlation with gender, age, BMI, blood pressure, level of fasting plasma glucose and lipid levels, as well as type, duration, or medication of diabetes. Interestingly, patients with nephropathy, but not other complications, presented significantly lower ADPRCA than those without nephropathy
(P = .0198) and diabetes (P = .0332). ANCOVA analysis adjusted for HbA1c showed no significant correlation between ADPRCA and nephropathy. However, logistic regression analyses revealed that determinants for nephropathy were systolic blood pressure and ADPRCA, not HbA1c.
Conclusion/interpretation. Decreased ADPRCA significantly correlated with diabetic nephropathy. ADPRCA in PBMCs would be an important marker associated with diabetic nephropathy.

The role of dietary niacin intake and the adenosine-5'-diphosphate-ribosyl cyclase enzyme CD38 in spatial learning ability: is cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose the link between diet and behaviour?

Abstract
The pyridine nucleotide NAD+ is derived from dietary niacin and serves as the substrate for the synthesis of cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR), an intracellular Ca signalling molecule that plays an important role in synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus, a region of the brain involved in spatial learning. cADPR is formed in part via the activity of the ADP-ribosyl cyclase enzyme CD38, which is widespread throughout the brain. In the present review, current evidence of the relationship between dietary niacin and behaviour is presented following investigations of the effect of niacin deficiency, pharmacological nicotinamide supplementation and CD38 gene deletion on brain nucleotides and spatial learning ability in mice and rats. In young male rats, both niacin deficiency and nicotinamide supplementation significantly altered brain NAD+ and cADPR, both of which were inversely correlated with spatial learning ability. These results were consistent across three different models of niacin deficiency (pair feeding, partially restricted feeding and niacin recovery). Similar changes in spatial learning ability were observed in Cd38- / - mice, which also showed decreases in brain cADPR. These findings suggest an inverse relationship between spatial learning ability, dietary niacin intake and cADPR, although a direct link between cADPR and spatial learning ability is still missing. Dietary niacin may therefore play a role in the molecular events regulating learning performance, and further investigations of niacin intake, CD38 and cADPR may help identify potential molecular targets for clinical intervention to enhance learning and prevent or reverse cognitive decline.

Abstract
Abscisic acid (ABA) is a plant stress hormone recently identified as an endogenous pro-inflammatory cytokine in human granulocytes. Because paracrine signaling between pancreatic beta cells and inflammatory cells is increasingly recognized as a pathogenetic mechanism in the metabolic syndrome and type II diabetes, we investigated the effect of ABA on insulin secretion. Nanomolar ABA increases glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from RIN-m and INS-1 cells and from murine and human pancreatic islets. The signaling cascade triggered by ABA in insulin-releasing cells sequentially involves a pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein, cAMP overproduction, protein kinase A-mediated activation of the ADP-ribosyl cyclase CD38, and cyclic ADP-ribose overproduction. ABA is rapidly produced and released from human islets, RIN-m, and INS-1 cells stimulated with high glucose concentrations. In conclusion, ABA is an endogenous stimulator of insulin secretion in human and murine pancreatic beta cells. Autocrine release of ABA by glucose-stimulated pancreatic beta cells, and the paracrine production of the hormone by activated granulocytes and monocytes suggest that ABA may be involved in the physiology of insulin release as well as in its dysregulation under conditions of inflammation.

Abstract
ADP-ribosyl cyclase (ADPR cyclase) and ryanodine receptors (RyR) participate in calcium transduction in isolated afferent arterioles. We hypothesized that this signaling pathway is activated by ETA and ETB receptors in the renal vasculature to mediate vasoconstriction in vivo. To test this, we measured acute renal blood flow (RBF) responses to ET-1 in anesthetized rats and mice in the presence and absence of functional ADPR cyclase and/or RyR. Inhibitors of ADPR cyclase (nicotinamide) or RyR (ruthenium red) reduced RBF responses to ET-1 by 44% (P < 0.04 for both) in Sprague-Dawley rats. Mice lacking the predominant form of ADPR cyclase (CD38-/-) had RBF responses to ET-1 that were 47% weaker than those seen in wild-type mice (P = 0.01). Selective ETA receptor stimulation (ET-1+BQ788) produced decreases in RBF that were attenuated by 43 and 56% by nicotinamide or ruthenium red, respectively (P < 0.02 for both). ADPR cyclase or RyR inhibition also reduced vasoconstrictor effects of the ETB receptor agonist sarafotoxin 6c (S6c; 77 and 54%, respectively, P < 0.02 for both). ETB receptor stimulation by ET-1 + the ETA receptor antagonist BQ123 elicited responses that were attenuated by 59 and 60% by nicotinamide and ruthenium red, respectively (P < 0.01 for both). Nicotinamide attenuated RBF responses to S6c by 54% during inhibition of nitric oxide synthesis (P = 0.001). We conclude that in the renal microcirculation in vivo 1) ET-1-induced vasoconstriction is mediated by ADPR cyclase and RyR; 2) both ETA and ETB receptors activate this pathway; and 3) ADPR cyclase participates in ETB receptor signaling independently of NO.

Abstract
ADP-ribosyl cyclase (ADPR-cyclase) produces a Ca(2+)-mobilizing second messenger, cADP-ribose (cADPR), from NAD(+). In this study, we investigated the molecular basis of ADPR-cyclase activation in the ANG II signaling pathway and cellular responses in adult rat cardiomyocytes. The results showed that ANG II generated biphasic intracellular Ca(2+) concentration increases that include a rapid transient Ca(2+) elevation via inositol trisphosphate (IP(3)) receptor and sustained Ca(2+) rise via the activation of L-type Ca(2+) channel and opening of ryanodine receptor. ANG II-induced sustained Ca(2+) rise was blocked by a cADPR antagonistic analog, 8-bromo-cADPR, indicating that sustained Ca(2+) rise is mediated by cADPR. Supporting the notion, ADPR-cyclase activity and cADPR production by ANG II were increased in a time-dependent manner. Application of pharmacological inhibitors and immunological analyses revealed that cADPR formation was activated by sequential activation of Src, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase)/protein kinase B (Akt), phospholipase C (PLC)-gamma1, and IP(3)-mediated Ca(2+) signal. Inhibitors of these signaling molecules not only completely abolished the ANG II-induced Ca(2+) signals but also inhibited cADPR formation. Application of the cADPR antagonist and inhibitors of upstream signaling molecules of ADPR-cyclase inhibited ANG II-stimulated hypertrophic responses, which include nuclear translocation of Ca(2+)/calcineurin-dependent nuclear factor of activated T cells 3, protein expression of transforming growth factor-beta1, and incorporation of [(3)H]leucine in cardiomyocytes. Taken together, these findings suggest that activation of ADPR-cyclase by ANG II entails a novel signaling pathway involving sequential activation of Src, PI 3-kinase/Akt, and PLC-gamma1/IP(3) and that the activation of ADPR-cyclase can lead to cardiac hypertrophy.

Abstract
Activation of CD38 in lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells involves interleukin-8 (IL8)-mediated protein kinase G (PKG) activation and results in an increase in the sustained intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)), cADP-ribose, and LAK cell migration. However, direct phosphorylation or activation of CD38 by PKG has not been observed in vitro. In this study, we examined the molecular mechanism of PKG-mediated activation of CD38. Nonmuscle myosin heavy chain IIA (MHCIIA) was identified as a CD38-associated protein upon IL8 stimulation. The IL8-induced association of MHCIIA with CD38 was dependent on PKG-mediated phosphorylation of MHCIIA. Supporting these observations, IL8- or cell-permeable cGMP analog-induced formation of cADP-ribose, increase in [Ca(2+)](i), and migration of LAK cells were inhibited by treatment with the MHCIIA inhibitor blebbistatin. Binding studies using purified proteins revealed that the association of MHCIIA with CD38 occurred through Lck, a tyrosine kinase. Moreover, these three molecules co-immunoprecipitated upon IL8 stimulation of LAK cells. IL8 treatment of LAK cells resulted in internalization of CD38, which co-localized with MHCIIA and Lck, and blebbistatin blocked internalization of CD38. These findings demonstrate that the association of phospho-MHCIIA with Lck and CD38 is a critical step in the internalization and activation of CD38.

Abstract
Lipopolysaccharide, the main component of the cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria, is known to activate microglial cells following its interaction with the CD14/Toll-like receptor complex (TLR-4). The activation pathway triggered by lipopolysaccharide in microglia involves enhanced basal levels of intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) and terminates with increased generation of cytokines/chemokines and nitric oxide. Here we demonstrate that in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated murine N9 microglial cells, cyclic ADP-ribose, a universal and potent Ca2+ mobiliser generated from NAD+ by ADP-ribosyl cyclases (ADPRC), behaves as a second messenger in the cell activation pathway. Lipopolysaccharide induced phosphorylation, mediated by multiple protein kinases, of the mammalian ADPRC CD38, which resulted in significantly enhanced ADPRC activity and in a 1.7-fold increase in the concentration of intracellular cyclic ADP-ribose. This event was paralleled by doubling of the basal [Ca2+]i levels, which was largely prevented by the cyclic ADP-ribose antagonists 8-Br-cyclic ADP-ribose and ryanodine (by 75% and 88%, respectively). Both antagonists inhibited, although incompletely, functional events downstream of the lipopolysaccharide-induced microglia-activating pathway, i.e. expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase, overproduction and release of nitric oxide and of tumor necrosis factor alpha. The identification of cyclic ADP-ribose as a key signal metabolite in the complex cascade of events triggered by lipopolysaccharide and eventually leading to enhanced generation of pro-inflammatory molecules may suggest a new therapeutic target for treatment of neurodegenerative diseases related to microglia activation.

Abstract
In smooth muscle, Ca(2+) controls diverse activities including cell division, contraction and cell death. Of particular significance in enabling Ca(2+) to perform these multiple functions is the cell's ability to localize Ca(2+) signals to certain regions by creating high local concentrations of Ca(2+) (microdomains), which differ from the cytoplasmic average. Microdomains arise from Ca(2+) influx across the plasma membrane or release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) store. A single Ca(2+) channel can create a microdomain of several micromolar near (approximately 200 nm) the channel. This concentration declines quickly with peak rates of several thousand micromolar per second when influx ends. The high [Ca(2+)] and the rapid rates of decline target Ca(2+) signals to effectors in the microdomain with rapid kinetics and enable the selective activation of cellular processes. Several elements within the cell combine to enable microdomains to develop. These include the brief open time of ion channels, localization of Ca(2+) by buffering, the clustering of ion channels to certain regions of the cell and the presence of membrane barriers, which restrict the free diffusion of Ca(2+). In this review, the generation of microdomains arising from Ca(2+) influx across the plasma membrane and the release of the ion from the SR Ca(2+) store will be discussed and the contribution of mitochondria and the Golgi apparatus as well as endogenous modulators (e.g. cADPR and channel binding proteins) will be considered.

Abstract
Microglia, the resident macrophages of the CNS, are responsible for the innate immune response in the brain and participate in the pathogenesis of certain neurodegenerative disorders. Chemokines initiate activation and migration of microglia. The beta-chemokine CCL5 induces an elevation in intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) in human microglia. Here, we examined the signal transduction pathway linking activation of chemokine receptor CCR5 to an elevation in [Ca(2+)](i) in cultured microglia by using pharmacological approaches in combination with Fura-2-based digital imaging. The CCL5-induced response required Janus kinase (Jak) activity and the stimulation of an inhibitory G protein. Multiple downstream signaling pathways were involved, including phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk), and phospholipase C (PLC)-mediated release of Ca(2+) from inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3))-sensitive stores. Activation of both the kinase and the lipase pathways was required for eliciting the Ca(2+) response. However, the majority of the [Ca(2+)](i) increase was derived from sources activated by NAD metabolites. Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) evoked Ca(2+) release from intracellular stores, and ADPR evoked Ca(2+) influx via a nimodipine-sensitive channel. Thus, a multistep cascade couples CCR5 activation to Ca(2+) increases in human microglia. Because changes in [Ca(2+)](i) affect chemotaxis, secretion, and gene expression, pharmacologic modulation of this pathway may alter inflammatory and degenerative processes in the CNS.

Abstract
Beta-NAD+e (extracellular beta-NAD+), present at nanomolar levels in human plasma, has been implicated in the regulation of [Ca2+]i (the intracellular calcium concentration) in various cell types, including blood cells, by means of different mechanisms. Here, we demonstrate that micromolar NAD+e (both the alpha and the beta extracellular NAD+ forms) induces a sustained [Ca2+]i increase in human granulocytes by triggering the following cascade of causally related events: (i) activation of adenylate cyclase and overproduction of cAMP; (ii) activation of protein kinase A; (iii) stimulation of ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity and consequent overproduction of cADP-ribose, a universal Ca2+ mobilizer; and (iv) influx of extracellular Ca2+. The NAD+e-triggered [Ca2+]i elevation translates into granulocyte activation, i.e. superoxide and nitric oxide generation, and enhanced chemotaxis in response to 0.1-10 microM NAD+e. Thus extracellular beta-NAD+e behaves as a novel pro-inflammatory cytokine, stimulating human granulocytes and potentially recruiting them at sites of inflammation.

Abstract
Dilation of rat preglomerular microvessels (PGMV) by activation of adenosine A2A receptors (A2AR) is coupled to epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (EET) release. We have investigated the commonality of this signal transduction pathway, i.e., sequential inhibition of G(salpha), adenylyl cyclase, PKA, and Ca2+-activated K+ (KCa) channel activity, to the vasoactive responses to A2AR activation by a selective A2A agonist, CGS-21680, compared with those of 11,12-EET. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were anesthetized, and microdissected arcuate arteries (110-130 microm) were cannulated and pressurized to 80 mmHg. Vessels were superfused with Krebs solution containing NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) and indomethacin and preconstricted with phenylephrine. We assessed the effect of 3-aminobenzamide (10 microM), an inhibitor of mono-ADP-ribosyltranferases, on responses to 11,12-EET (3 nM) and CGS-21680 (10 microM) and found that both were inhibited by approximately 70% (P<0.05), whereas the response to SNP (10 microM) was unaffected. Furthermore, 11,12-EET (100 nM), like cholera toxin (100 ng/ml), stimulated ADP-ribose formation in homogenates of arcuate arteries compared with control. SQ-22536 (10 microM), an inhibitor of adenylyl cyclase activity, and myristolated PKI (14-22) amide (5 microM), an inhibitor of PKA, decreased activity of 11,12-EET and CGS-21680. Incubation of 11,12-EET (3 nM-3 microM) with PGMV resulted in an increase in cAMP levels (P<0.05). The responses to both 11,12-EET and CGS-21680 were significantly reduced by superfusion of iberiotoxin (100 nM), an inhibitor of KCa channel activity. Thus in rat PGMV activation of A2AR is coupled to EET release upstream of adenylyl cyclase activation and EETs stimulate mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase, resulting in Gsalpha protein activation.

Abstract
It is generally accepted that the mobilisation of intracellular Ca2+ stores plays a pivotal role in the regulation of arterial smooth muscle function, paradoxically during both contraction and relaxation. However, the spatiotemporal pattern of different Ca2+ signals that elicit such responses may also contribute to the regulation of, for example, differential gene expression. These findings, among others, demonstrate the importance of discrete spatiotemporal Ca2+ signalling patterns and the mechanisms that underpin them. Of fundamental importance in this respect is the realisation that different Ca2+ storing organelles may be selected by the discrete or coordinated actions of multiple Ca2+ mobilising messengers. When considering such messengers, it is generally accepted that sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) stores may be mobilised by the ubiquitous messenger inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate. However, relatively little attention has been paid to the role of Ca2+ mobilising pyridine nucleotides in arterial smooth muscle, namely, cyclic adenosine diphosphate-ribose (cADPR) and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP). This review will therefore focus on these novel mechanisms of calcium signalling and their likely therapeutic potential.

Abstract
The sarco/endoplasmic reticulum (SR/ER) is the primary storage and release site of intracellular calcium (Ca2+) in many excitable cells. The SR is a tubular network, which in smooth muscle (SM) cells distributes close to cellular periphery (superficial SR) and in deeper aspects of the cell (deep SR). Recent attention has focused on the regulation of cell function by the superficial SR, which can act as a buffer and also as a regulator of membrane channels and transporters. Ca2+ is released from the SR via two types of ionic channels [ryanodine- and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-gated], whereas accumulation from thecytoplasm occurs exclusively by an energy-dependent sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase pump (SERCA). Within the SR, Ca2+ is bound to various storage proteins. Emerging evidence also suggests that the perinuclear portion of the SR may play an important role in nuclear transcription. In this review, we detail the pharmacology of agents that alter the functions of Ca2+ release channels and of SERCA. We describe their use and selectivity and indicate the concentrations used in investigating various SM preparations. Important aspects of cell regulation and excitation-contractile activity coupling in SM have been uncovered through the use of such activators and inhibitors of processes that determine SR function. Likewise, they were instrumental in the recent finding of an interaction of the SR with other cellular organelles such as mitochondria. Thus, an appreciation of the pharmacology and selectivity of agents that interfere with SR function in SM has greatly assisted in unveiling the multifaceted nature of the SR.

Abstract
ADP-ribosyl cyclase (ADPR-cyclase) produces a Ca(2+)-mobilizing second messenger cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) from beta-NAD(+). In this study, we examined the molecular basis of which beta-adrenergic receptor (betaAR) stimulation induces cADPR formation and characterized cardiac ADPR-cyclase. The results revealed that isoproterenol-mediated increase of [Ca(2+)](i) in rat cardiomyocytes was blocked by pretreatment with a cADPR antagonistic derivative 8-Br-cADPR, a PKA inhibitor H89 or high concentration of ryanodine. Moreover, incubation of ventricular lysates with isoproterenol, forskolin or cAMP resulted in activation of ADPR-cyclase that was inhibited by pretreatment with H89. Supporting the observations, the cADPR antagonist and H89 blocked 8-CPT-cAMP, a cell-permeant cAMP analog-induced increase in [Ca(2+)](i) but not cGMP-mediated increase. Characterization of partially purified cardiac ADPR-cyclase showed a molecular mass of approximately 42 kDa and no cross-activity with CD38 antibodies, and the enzyme activity was inhibited by Zn(2+) but not dithiothreitol. Microinjection of the enzyme into rat cardiomyocytes increased the level of [Ca(2+)](i) in a concentration-dependent manner. The enzyme-mediated increase of [Ca(2+)](i) was blocked by the cADPR antagonist. These findings suggest that betaAR-mediated regulation of [Ca(2+)](i) in rat cardiomyocytes is primed by activation of cardiac ADPR-cyclase via cAMP/PKA signaling and that cardiac ADPR-cyclase differs from CD38 in biochemical and immunological properties.

Abstract
1. Vasomotion is the oscillation of vascular tone with frequencies in the range from 1 to 20 min(-1) seen in most vascular beds. The oscillation originates in the vessel wall and is seen both in vivo and in vitro. 2. Recently, our ideas on the cellular mechanisms responsible for vasomotion have improved. Three different types of cellular oscillations have been suggested. One model has suggested that oscillatory release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores is important (the oscillation is based on a cytosolic oscillator). A second proposed mechanism is an oscillation originating in the sarcolemma (a membrane oscillator). A third mechanism is based on an oscillation of glycolysis (metabolic oscillator). For the two latter mechanisms, only limited experimental evidence is available. 3. To understand vasomotion, it is important to understand how the cells synchronize. For the cytosolic oscillators synchronization may occur via activation of Ca2+-sensitive ion channels by oscillatory Ca2+ release. The ensuing membrane potential oscillation feeds back on the intracellular Ca2+ stores and causes synchronization of the Ca2+ release. While membrane oscillators in adjacent smooth muscle cells could be synchronized through the same mechanism that sets up the oscillation in the individual cells, a mechanism to synchronize the metabolic-based oscillators has not been suggested. 4. The interpretation of the experimental observations is supported by theoretical modelling of smooth muscle cells behaviour, and the new insight into the mechanisms of vasomotion has the potential to provide tools to investigate the physiological role of vasomotion.

Abstract
The existence of functionally distinct intracellular Ca(2+) stores has been proposed in some types of smooth muscle. In this study, we sought to examine Ca(2+) stores in the gallbladder by measuring intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) in fura 2-loaded isolated myocytes, membrane potential in intact smooth muscle, and isometric contractions in whole mount preparations. Exposure of isolated myocytes to 10 nM CCK caused a transient elevation in [Ca(2+)](i) that persisted in Ca(2+)-free medium and was inhibited by 2-aminoethoxydiphenylborane (2-APB). Application of caffeine induced a rapid spike-like elevation in [Ca(2+)](i) that was insensitive to 2-APB but was abolished by pretreatment with 10 muM ryanodine. These data support the idea that both inositol trisphosphate (IP(3)) receptors (IP(3)R) and ryanodine receptors (RyR) are present in this tissue. When caffeine was applied in Ca(2+)-free solution, the [Ca(2+)](i) transients decreased as the interval between Ca(2+) removal and caffeine application was increased, indicating a possible leakage of Ca(2+) in these stores. The refilling of caffeine-sensitive stores involved sarcoendoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase activation, similar to IP(3)-sensitive stores. The moderate Ca(2+) elevation caused by CCK was associated with a gallbladder contraction, but caffeine or ryanodine failed to induce gallbladder contraction. Nevertheless, caffeine caused a concentration-dependent relaxation in gallbladder strips either under resting tone conditions or precontracted with 1 muM CCK. Taken together, these results suggest that, in gallbladder smooth muscle, multiple pharmacologically distinct Ca(2+) pools do not exist, but IP(3)R and RyR must be spatially separated because Ca(2+) release via these pathways leads to opposite responses.

Abstract
Cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose (cADPR) is a naturally occurring cyclic nucleotide and represents a novel class of endogenous Ca(2+) messengers implicated in the regulation of the gating properties of ryanodine receptors (RyRs). This action of cADPR occurs independently from the inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) receptor. The regulation of intracellular Ca(2+) release is a fundamental element of cellular Ca(2+) homeostasis since a number of smooth muscle functions (tone, proliferation, apoptosis, and gene expression) are modulated by intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)). There has been a surge in the efforts aimed at understanding the mechanisms of cADPR-mediated Ca(2+) mobilization and its impact on smooth muscle function. This review summarizes the proposed roles of cADPR in the regulation of smooth muscle tone.

Abstract
CD38 is an ADP-ribosyl cyclase, producing a potent Ca(2+) mobilizer cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR). In this study, we have investigated a role of CD38 and its regulation through interleukin-8 (IL8) signaling in lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells. Incubation of LAK cells with IL8 resulted in an increase of cellular cADPR level and a rapid rise of intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)), which was sustained for a long period of time (>10 min). Preincubation of an antagonistic cADPR analog, 8-Br-cADPR (8-bromo-cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose), abolished the sustained Ca(2+) signal only but not the initial Ca(2+) rise. An inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) receptor antagonist blocked both Ca(2+) signals. Interestingly, the sustained Ca(2+) rise was not observed in the absence of extracellular Ca(2+). Functional CD38-null (CD38(-)) LAK cells showed the initial rapid increase of [Ca(2+)](i) but not the sustained Ca(2+) rise in response to IL8 treatment. An increase of cellular cADPR level by cGMP analog, 8-pCPT-cGMP (8-(4-chlorophenylthio)-guanosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphate), but not cAMP analog or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate was observed. IL8 treatment resulted in the increase of cGMP level that was inhibited by the IP(3) receptor blocker but not a protein kinase C inhibitor. cGMP-mediated Ca(2+) rise was blocked by 8-Br-cADPR. In addition, IL8-mediated LAK cell migration was inhibited by 8-Br-cADPR and a protein kinase G inhibitor. Consistent with these observations, IL8-induced migration of CD38(-) LAK cells was not observed. However, direct application of cADPR or 8-pCPT-cGMP stimulated migration of CD38(-) cells. These results demonstrate that CD38 is stimulated by sequential activation of IL8 receptor, IP(3)-mediated Ca(2+) rise, and cGMP/protein kinase G and that CD38 plays an essential role in IL8-induced migration of LAK cells.

Abstract
Previous studies on pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells have shown that nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) evokes highly localized intracellular Ca(2+) signals by mobilizing thapsigargin-insensitive stores. Such localized Ca(2+) signals may initiate global Ca(2+) waves and contraction of the myocytes through the recruitment of ryanodine receptors on the sarcoplasmic reticulum via Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release. Here we show that NAADP evokes localized Ca(2+) signals by mobilizing a bafilomycin A1-sensitive, lysosome-related Ca(2+) store. These lysosomal stores facilitate this process by co-localizing with a portion of the sarcoplasmic reticulum expressing ryanodine receptors to comprise a highly specialized trigger zone for NAADP-dependent Ca(2+) signaling by the vasoconstrictor hormone, endothelin-1. These findings further advance our understanding of how the spatial organization of discrete, organellar Ca(2+) stores may underpin the generation of differential Ca(2+) signaling patterns by different Ca(2+)-mobilizing messengers.

Abstract
Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR), a universal calcium mobilizer from intracellular stores, was recently demonstrated to stimulate proliferation of various cell types. The role of cADPR in a specific process of monocyte- and plasma-mediated activation of T-lymphocytes by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was addressed using human mononuclear cells from peripheral blood (PBMCs). Incubation of PBMCs with 0.1 microg/ml of LPS for 24 h provided a doubling in the intracellular levels of cADPR as compared with unstimulated PBMCs. The cADPR increase was abolished either by prior removal of monocytes or by pre-incubating a whole PBMC population with a monoclonal antibody against the monocyte marker CD14. The increased concentrations of intracellular cADPR elicited by LPS stimulation were paralleled by significant increases in NAD+ levels and in the activities of ectocellular and membrane-bound fractions of ADP-ribosyl cyclase/cADPR hydrolase activities. A cytosolic ADP-ribosyl cyclase was also detectable in PBMCs and its activity was comparably enhanced by LPS stimulation. This soluble cyclase is distinguished from the membrane-bound cyclase by both substrate and inhibitor sensitivities. LPS-stimulated PBMCs showed 2-3-fold increases of intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i), and these changes were prevented completely by the cADPR antagonist 8-Br-cADPR and by ryanodine. Both compounds, and the cyclase inhibitor nicotinamide, significantly inhibited the T-lymphocyte proliferation induced by LPS in PBMCs. These results demonstrate that cADPR plays a role of second messenger in the adaptive immune recognition process of LPS-stimulated proliferation of PBMCs.

Abstract
Urocortin is a peptide recently identified, which is structurally related to the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF). To analyze the mechanisms that could be involved in its effect on renal arteries from male and female rats, the response to urocortin was studied in isolated segments, 2 mm long, of renal arteries from male and female rats. In renal artery segments precontracted with endothelin-1 (1 nm), urocortin (1 pm-10 nm) produced concentration-dependent relaxation, which was similar in the arteries from male and female rats. This relaxation was reduced by the antagonists of urocortin receptors astressin (1 microM) and alpha-helical CRF(9-41) (1 microM) in arteries from both male and female rats. In renal arteries from female rats, the relaxation to urocortin was reduced by the inhibitor of adenyl cyclase SQ22536 (300 microM), by 8-bromo-cyclic-ADP-ribose (cADPR; 30 microM), an antagonist of the endogenous activator of sarcoplasmic Ca2+ channel cADPR and by ryanodine (1 microM), which produces depletion of sarcoplasmic Ca2+. In renal arteries from male rats, the relaxation to urocortin was increased by ryanodine, and was not modified by SQ22536 or 8-bromo-cADPR. These results suggest that the mechanisms involved in the relaxation to urocortin in renal arteries differ between female and male rats. In female rats, this relaxation may be mediated by the production of cyclic AMP (cAMP), synthesis of cADPR and release of sarcoplasmic Ca2+, whereas in male rats it is not mediated by cAMP.
