Abstract
Ambient particulate matters (PMs) have adverse effects in human and animal female reproductive health. Silica nanoparticles (SNPs), as a major component of PMs, can induce follicular atresia via the promotion of ovarian granulosa cell apoptosis. However, the molecular mechanisms of apoptosis induced by SNPs are not very clear. This work focuses on revealing the mechanisms of ER stress on SNP-induced apoptosis. Our results showed that spherical Stöber SNPs (110 nm, 25.0 mg/kg b.w.) induced follicular atresia via the promotion of granulosa cell apoptosis by intratracheal instillation in vivo; meanwhile, SNPs decreased the viability and increase apoptosis in granulosa cells in vitro. SNPs were taken up and accumulated in the vesicles of granulosa cells. Additionally, our results found that SNPs increased calcium ion (Ca2+) concentration in granulosa cell cytoplasm. Furthermore, SNPs activated ER stress via an increase in the PERK and ATF6 pathway-related protein levels and IP3R1-dependent calcium mobilization via an increase in IP3R1 level. In addition, 4-PBA restored IP3R1-dependent calcium mobilization and decreased apoptosis via the inhibition of ER stress. The ATF4-C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP)-ER oxidoreductase 1 alpha (ERO1α) pathway regulated SNP-induced IP3R1-dependent calcium mobilization and cell apoptosis via ATF4, CHOP, and ERO1α depletion in ovarian granulosa cells. Herein, we demonstrate that ER stress cooperated in SNP-induced ovarian toxicity via activation of IP3R1-mediated calcium mobilization, leading to apoptosis, in which the PERK-ATF4-CHOP-ERO1α pathway plays an essential role in ovarian granulosa cells.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) are one of the two types of tetrameric ion channels that release calcium ion (Ca2+) from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) into the cytosol. Ca2+ released via IP3Rs is a fundamental second messenger for numerous cell functions. Disturbances in the intracellular redox environment resulting from various diseases and aging interfere with proper calcium signaling, however, the details are unclear. Here, we elucidated the regulatory mechanisms of IP3Rs by protein disulfide isomerase family proteins localized in the ER by focusing on four cysteine residues residing in the ER lumen of IP3Rs. First, we revealed that two of the cysteine residues are essential for functional tetramer formation of IP3Rs. Two other cysteine residues, on the contrary, were revealed to be involved in the regulation of IP3Rs activity; its oxidation by ERp46 and the reduction by ERdj5 caused the activation and the inactivation of IP3Rs activity, respectively. We previously reported that ERdj5 can activate the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase isoform 2b (SERCA2b) using its reducing activity [Ushioda et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 113, E6055-E6063 (2016)]. Thus, we here established that ERdj5 exerts the reciprocal regulatory function for IP3Rs and SERCA2b by sensing the ER luminal Ca2+ concentration, which contributes to the calcium homeostasis in the ER.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Platelet adhesion and aggregation play a crucial role in arterial thrombosis and ischemic stroke. Here, we identify platelet ERO1α (endoplasmic reticulum oxidoreductase 1α) as a novel regulator of Ca2+ signaling and a potential pharmacological target for treating thrombotic diseases. METHODS Intravital microscopy, animal disease models, and a wide range of cell biological studies were utilized to demonstrate the pathophysiological role of ERO1α in arteriolar and arterial thrombosis and to prove the importance of platelet ERO1α in platelet activation and aggregation. Mass spectrometry, electron microscopy, and biochemical studies were used to investigate the molecular mechanism. We used novel blocking antibodies and small-molecule inhibitors to study whether ERO1α can be targeted to attenuate thrombotic conditions. RESULTS Megakaryocyte-specific or global deletion of Ero1α in mice similarly reduced platelet thrombus formation in arteriolar and arterial thrombosis without affecting tail bleeding times and blood loss following vascular injury. We observed that platelet ERO1α localized exclusively in the dense tubular system and promoted Ca2+ mobilization, platelet activation, and aggregation. Platelet ERO1α directly interacted with STIM1 (stromal interaction molecule 1) and SERCA2 (sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase 2) and regulated their functions. Such interactions were impaired in mutant STIM1-Cys49/56Ser and mutant SERCA2-Cys875/887Ser. We found that ERO1α modified an allosteric Cys49-Cys56 disulfide bond in STIM1 and a Cys875-Cys887 disulfide bond in SERCA2, contributing to Ca2+ store content and increasing cytosolic Ca2+ levels during platelet activation. Inhibition of Ero1α with small-molecule inhibitors but not blocking antibodies attenuated arteriolar and arterial thrombosis and reduced infarct volume following focal brain ischemia in mice. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that ERO1α acts as a thiol oxidase for Ca2+ signaling molecules, STIM1 and SERCA2, and enhances cytosolic Ca2+ levels, promoting platelet activation and aggregation. Our study provides evidence that ERO1α may be a potential target to reduce thrombotic events.

Highly conserved protein Rv1211 in Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a natively unfolded protein that binds to a calmodulin antagonist, trifluoperazine. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2022; 610:182-187. [PMID: 35468422 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2022.04.045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2022] [Accepted: 04/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/02/2022]
Abstract
Rv1211 is a conserved hypothetical protein in Mycobacterium tuberculosis and is required for the growth and pathogenesis of the bacteria. The protein has been suggested as a calmodulin-like calcium-binding protein with an EF-hand motif and as a target of trifluoperazine, a calmodulin antagonist in eukaryotes that inhibits mycobacterial growth. Here, we expressed the recombinant protein of Rv1211 and performed structural and biochemical studies of Rv1211 and its interaction with Ca2+ or trifluoperazine. Surprisingly, Rv1211 exhibited an elution property typical of a natively unfolded protein. Subsequent circular dichroism experiments with temperature elevation and trifluoroethanol treatment showed that Rv1211 has unfolded structure. Additional NMR experiment confirmed the unfolded state of the protein and further showed that it does not bind to Ca2+. Still, Rv1211 did bind to trifluoperazine, as evidenced by the two-dimensional NMR spectra of 15N-labeled Rv1211. However, there were no peak shifts upon binding, showing that Rv1211 retained its unfolded state even after the trifluoperazine binding. The residues involved in the binding were clustered in the C-terminal region, as identified by the sequence assignment. Isothermal titration calorimetry showed that the Kd of trifluoperazine-Rv1211 binding is 41 μM and that the stoichiometry is 1 : 2 (Rv1211: trifluoperazine). Our results argue against the suggestion of Rv1211 as a Ca2+-binding calmodulin-like protein, and show that Rv1211 is a natively unfolded protein that binds to trifluoperazine. In addition, our results suggest the evidence of the "Fuzziness" in the Rv1211-trifluoperazine interaction that differs from the conventional binding-induced folding of natively unfolded proteins.

Abstract
Cardiac injury upon myocardial infarction (MI) is the leading cause of heart failure. The present study aims to investigate the role of EndoA2 in ischemia-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis and cardiac injury. In vivo, we established an MI mouse model by ligating the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery, and intramyocardial injection of adenoviral EndoA2 (Ad-EndoA2) was used to overexpress EndoA2. In vitro, we used the siRNA and Ad-EndoA2 transfection strategies. Here, we reported that EndoA2 expression was remarkably elevated in the infarct border zone of MI mouse hearts and neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs) stimulated with oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) which mimicked ischemia. We showed that intramyocardial injection of Ad-EndoA2 attenuated cardiomyocyte apoptosis and reduced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in response to MI injury. Using siRNA for knockdown and Ad-EndoA2 for overexpression, we validated that knockdown of EndoA2 in NRCMs exacerbated OGD-induced NRCM apoptosis, whereas overexpression of EndoA2 attenuates OGD-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Mechanistically, knockdown of EndoA2 activated ER stress response, which increases ER oxidoreductase 1α (ERO1α) and inositol 1, 4, 5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) activity, thus led to increased intracellular Ca2+ accumulation, followed by elevated calcineurin activity and nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT) dephosphorylation. Pretreatment with the IP3R inhibitor 2-Aminoethoxydiphenylborate (2-APB) attenuated intracellular Ca2+ accumulation, and pretreatment with the Ca2+ chelator 1,2-bis(o-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA) or the calcineurin inhibitor Cyclosporin A (CsA) inhibited EndoA2-knockdown-induced NRCM apoptosis. Overexpression of EndoA2 led to the opposite effects by suppressing ER-stress-mediated ERO1α/IP3R signaling pathway. This study demonstrated that EndoA2 protected cardiac function in response to MI via attenuating ER-stress-mediated ERO1α/IP3R signaling pathway. Targeting EndoA2 is a potential therapeutic strategy for the prevention of postinfarction-induced cardiac injury and heart failure.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) oxidase 1α (ERO1α) is a glycosylated flavoenzyme that is located on the luminal side of the ER membrane, which serves an important role in catalyzing the formation of protein disulfide bonds and ER redox homeostasis. However, the role of ERO1α in myocardial hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury remains largely unknown. In the present study, ERO1α expression levels in H9C2 cardiomyocytes increased following H/R, reaching their highest levels following 3 h of hypoxia and 6 h of reoxygenation. In addition, H/R induced apoptosis, and significantly increased expression levels of ER stress (ERS) markers 78 kDa glucose-regulated protein and C/EBP homologous protein. Moreover, the genetic knockdown of ERO1α using short hairpin RNA suppressed cell apoptosis, caspase-3 activity, expression levels of cleaved caspase-12 and cytochrome c in the cytoplasm. Overall, this suggested that ERO1α knockdown may protect against H/R injury. The ERS activator tunicamycin (TM) was used to counteract the ERO1α-induced reduction in ERS; however, the percentage of apoptotic cells and the level of mitochondrial damage did not change. In conclusion, the results from the present study suggested that ERO1α knockdown may protect H9C2 cardiomyocytes from H/R injury through inhibiting intracellular ROS production and increasing intracellular levels of Ca2+, suggesting that ERO1α may serve an important role in H/R.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease involving aggregation of misfolded proteins inside the neuron causing prolonged cellular stress. The neuropathological hallmarks of AD include the formation of senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in specific brain regions that lead to synaptic loss and neuronal death. The exact mechanism of neuron dysfunction in AD remains obscure. In recent years, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) dysfunction has been implicated in neuronal degeneration seen in AD. Apart from AD, many other diseases also involve misfolded proteins aggregations in the ER, a condition referred to as ER stress. The response of the cell to ER stress is to activate a group of signaling pathways called unfolded protein response (UPR) that stimulates a particular transcriptional program to restore ER function and ensure cell survival. ER stress also involves the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that, together with mitochondrial ROS and decreased effectiveness of antioxidant mechanisms, producing a condition of chronic oxidative stress. The unfolded proteins may not always produce a response that leads to the restoration of cellular functions, but they may also lead to inflammation by a set of different pathways with deleterious consequences. In this review, we extensively discuss the role of ER stress and how to target it using different pharmacological approaches in AD development and onset.

Abstract
Lipotoxicity is defined as deposition of excess fat associated with an inflammatory response. Metabolomic analysis of fatty acids (FAs) can be a marker of silent inflammation. ω3-Enriched diet, celecoxib, and safranal may have a protective anti-inflammatory role. In this work, total FAs extracted from red blood cells and arachidonic acid-to-eicosapentaenoic acid (AA-to-EPA) ratios were assessed using GC-MS assay in single-ion monitoring mode. The study was conducted on 64 male rats divided into eight groups: I, controls; II, rats received high-fat diet (HFD), III, rats received ω-6-enriched HFD; IV, rats received ω-3-enriched HFD; V, rats received celecoxib with HFD; VI, rats received safranal with HFD; VII and VIII, rats received celecoxib and safranal with ω-3 HFD, respectively. GC-MS Gas chromatography Mass spectrometry was performed for analysis of fatty acid methyl ester. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to analyze serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) and transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) concentrations. A statistically significant decrease of AA-to-EPA ratio was observed in group VII when compared with the groups receiving HFDs. This group also showed the lowest serum IL-6 level and highest TGF-β1 level. In conclusion, ω3-enriched diet along with drugs (e.g. celecoxib) and herbal medications (e.g. safranal) may have an anti-inflammatory effect in lipotoxicity. GC-MS with single-ion monitoring is valid for the analysis of FAs.

Abstract
Oxidative post-translational modifications (oxPTM) of receptors, enzymes, ion channels and transcription factors play an important role in cell signaling. oxPTMs are a key way in which oxidative stress can influence cell behavior during diverse pathological settings such as cardiovascular diseases (CVD), cancer, neurodegeneration and inflammatory response. In addition, changes in oxPTM are likely to be ways in which low level reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) may contribute to redox signaling, exerting changes in physiological responses including angiogenesis, cardiac remodeling and embryogenesis. Among oxPTM, S-glutathionylation of reactive cysteines emerges as an important regulator of vascular homeostasis by modulating endothelial cell (EC) responses to their local redox environment. This review summarizes the latest findings of S-glutathionylated proteins in major EC pathways, and the functional consequences on vascular pathophysiology. This review highlights the diversity of molecules affected by S-glutathionylation, and the complex consequences on EC function, thereby demonstrating an intricate dual role of RONS-induced S-glutathionylation in maintaining vascular homeostasis and participating in various pathological processes.

Abstract
Physiological signaling by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and their pathophysiological role in cell death are well recognized. This review focuses on two ROS targets that are key to local Ca2+ signaling at the ER/mitochondrial interface - notably, inositol trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) and the mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU). Both transport systems are central to molecular mechanisms in cell survival and death. Methods for the measurement of the redox state of these proteins and for the detection of ROS nanodomains are described. Recent results on the redox regulation of these proteins are reviewed.

Abstract
A sensitization of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R)-mediated Ca2+ release is associated with oxidative stress in multiple cell types. These effects are thought to be mediated by alterations in the redox state of critical thiols in the IP3R, but this has not been directly demonstrated in intact cells. Here, we utilized a combination of gel-shift assays with MPEG-maleimides and LC-MS/MS to monitor the redox state of recombinant IP3R1 expressed in HEK293 cells. We found that under basal conditions, ∼5 of the 60 cysteines are oxidized in IP3R1. Cell treatment with 50 μm thimerosal altered gel shifts, indicating oxidation of ∼20 cysteines. By contrast, the shifts induced by 0.5 mm H2O2 or other oxidants were much smaller. Monitoring of biotin-maleimide attachment to IP3R1 by LC-MS/MS with 71% coverage of the receptor sequence revealed modification of two cytosolic (Cys-292 and Cys-1415) and two intraluminal cysteines (Cys-2496 and Cys-2533) under basal conditions. The thimerosal treatment modified an additional eleven cysteines, but only three (Cys-206, Cys-767, and Cys-1459) were consistently oxidized in multiple experiments. H2O2 also oxidized Cys-206 and additionally oxidized two residues not modified by thimerosal (Cys-214 and Cys-1397). Potentiation of IP3R channel function by oxidants was measured with cysteine variants transfected into a HEK293 IP3R triple-knockout cell line, indicating that the functionally relevant redox-sensitive cysteines are predominantly clustered within the N-terminal suppressor domain of IP3R. To our knowledge, this study is the first that has used proteomic methods to assess the redox state of individual thiols in IP3R in intact cells.

Skeletal Muscle Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Phosphorylation and Lactate Accumulation During Sprint Exercise in Normoxia and Severe Acute Hypoxia: Effects of Antioxidants. Front Physiol 2018; 9:188. [PMID: 29615918 PMCID: PMC5867337 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2018.00188] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2017] [Accepted: 02/23/2018] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Compared to normoxia, during sprint exercise in severe acute hypoxia the glycolytic rate is increased leading to greater lactate accumulation, acidification, and oxidative stress. To determine the role played by pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) activation and reactive nitrogen and oxygen species (RNOS) in muscle lactate accumulation, nine volunteers performed a single 30-s sprint (Wingate test) on four occasions: two after the ingestion of placebo and another two following the intake of antioxidants, while breathing either hypoxic gas (PIO2 = 75 mmHg) or room air (PIO2 = 143 mmHg). Vastus lateralis muscle biopsies were obtained before, immediately after, 30 and 120 min post-sprint. Antioxidants reduced the glycolytic rate without altering performance or VO2. Immediately after the sprints, Ser293- and Ser300-PDH-E1α phosphorylations were reduced to similar levels in all conditions (~66 and 91%, respectively). However, 30 min into recovery Ser293-PDH-E1α phosphorylation reached pre-exercise values while Ser300-PDH-E1α was still reduced by 44%. Thirty minutes after the sprint Ser293-PDH-E1α phosphorylation was greater with antioxidants, resulting in 74% higher muscle lactate concentration. Changes in Ser293 and Ser300-PDH-E1α phosphorylation from pre to immediately after the sprints were linearly related after placebo (r = 0.74, P < 0.001; n = 18), but not after antioxidants ingestion (r = 0.35, P = 0.15). In summary, lactate accumulation during sprint exercise in severe acute hypoxia is not caused by a reduced activation of the PDH. The ingestion of antioxidants is associated with increased PDH re-phosphorylation and slower elimination of muscle lactate during the recovery period. Ser293 re-phosphorylates at a faster rate than Ser300-PDH-E1α during the recovery period, suggesting slightly different regulatory mechanisms.

Abstract
The actin cytoskeleton is critical for form and function of vascular cells, serving mechanical, organizational and signaling roles. Because many cytoskeletal proteins are sensitive to reactive oxygen species, redox regulation has emerged as a pivotal modulator of the actin cytoskeleton and its associated proteins. Here, we summarize work implicating oxidants in altering actin cytoskeletal proteins and focus on how these alterations affect cell migration, proliferation and contraction of vascular cells. Finally, we discuss the role of oxidative modification of the actin cytoskeleton in vivo and highlight its importance for vascular diseases.

Abstract
Calcium signaling plays an important role in cell survival by influencing mitochondria-related processes such as energy production and apoptosis. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the main storage compartment for cell calcium (Ca2+; ~60-500μM), and the Ca2+ released by the ER has a prompt effect on the homeostasis of the juxtaposed mitochondria. Recent findings have highlighted a close connection between ER redox and Ca2+ signaling that is mediated by Ca2+-handling proteins. This paper describes the redox-regulated mediators and mechanisms that orchestrate Ca2+ signals from the ER to mitochondria.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the main cellular Ca(2+)storage unit. Among other signalling outputs, the ER can release Ca(2+)ions, which can, for instance, communicate the status of ER protein folding to the cytosol and to other organelles, in particular the mitochondria. As a consequence, ER Ca(2+)flux can alter the apposition of the ER with mitochondria, influence mitochondrial ATP production or trigger apoptosis. All aspects of ER Ca(2+)flux have emerged as processes that are intimately controlled by intracellular redox conditions. In this review, we focus on ER-luminal redox-driven regulation of Ca(2+)flux. This involves the direct reduction of disulfides within ER Ca(2+)handling proteins themselves, but also the regulated interaction of ER chaperones and oxidoreductases such as calnexin or ERp57 with them. Well-characterized examples are the activating interactions of Ero1α with inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) or of selenoprotein N (SEPN1) with sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)transport ATPase 2 (SERCA2). The future discovery of novel ER-luminal modulators of Ca(2+)handling proteins is likely. Based on the currently available information, we describe how the variable ER redox conditions govern Ca(2+)flux from the ER.

Abstract
T cells reach a state of replicative senescence characterized by a decreased ability to proliferate and respond to foreign antigens. Calcium release associated with TCR engagement is widely used as a surrogate measure of T cell response. Using an ex vivo culture model that partially replicates features of organismal aging, we observe that while the amplitude of Ca2+ signaling does not change with time in culture, older T cells exhibit faster Ca2+ rise and a faster decay. Gene expression analysis of Ca2+ channels and pumps expressed in T cells by RT-qPCR identified overexpression of the plasma membrane CRAC channel subunit ORAI1 and PMCA in older T cells. To test whether overexpression of the plasma membrane Ca2+ channel is sufficient to explain the kinetic information, we adapted a previously published computational model by Maurya and Subramaniam to include additional details on the store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) process to recapitulate Ca2+ dynamics after T cell receptor stimulation. Simulations demonstrated that upregulation of ORAI1 and PMCA channels is not sufficient to explain the observed alterations in Ca2+ signaling. Instead, modeling analysis identified kinetic parameters associated with the IP3R and STIM1 channels as potential causes for alterations in Ca2+ dynamics associated with the long term ex vivo culturing protocol. Due to these proteins having known cysteine residues susceptible to oxidation, we subsequently investigated and observed transcriptional remodeling of metabolic enzymes, a shift to more oxidized redox couples, and post-translational thiol oxidation of STIM1. The model-directed findings from this study highlight changes in the cellular redox environment that may ultimately lead to altered T cell calcium dynamics during immunosenescence or organismal aging.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a major site of protein synthesis, most strikingly in the specialized secretory cells of metazoans, which can produce their own weight in proteins daily. Cells possess a diverse machinery to ensure correct folding, assembly, and secretion of proteins from the ER. When this machinery is overwhelmed, the cell is said to experience ER stress, a result of the accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins in the lumen of the organelle. Here we discuss the causes of ER stress and the mechanisms by which cells elicit a response, with an emphasis on recent discoveries.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) is a ubiquitous Ca2+ signaling mechanism triggered by Ca2+ depletion of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and by a variety of cellular stresses. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are often concomitantly produced in response to these stresses, however, the relationship between redox signaling and SOCE is not completely understood. Various cardiovascular, neurological, and immune diseases are associated with alterations in both Ca2+ signaling and ROS production, and thus understanding this relationship has therapeutic implications. RECENT ADVANCES Several reactive cysteine modifications in stromal interaction molecule (STIM) and Orai proteins comprising the core SOCE machinery were recently shown to modulate SOCE in a redox-dependent manner. Moreover, STIM1 and Orai1 expression levels may reciprocally regulate and be affected by responses to oxidative stress. ER proteins involved in oxidative protein folding have gained increased recognition as important sources of ROS, and the recent discovery of their accumulation in contact sites between the ER and mitochondria provides a further link between ROS production and intracellular Ca2+ handling. CRITICAL ISSUES AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS Future research should aim to establish the complete set of SOCE controlling molecules, to determine their redox-sensitive residues, and to understand how intracellular Ca2+ stores dynamically respond to different types of stress. Mapping the precise nature and functional consequence of key redox-sensitive components of the pre- and post-translational control of SOCE machinery and of proteins regulating ER calcium content will be pivotal in advancing our understanding of the complex cross-talk between redox and Ca2+ signaling.

Abstract
Free calcium ions within the cytosol serve as a key secondary messenger system for a diverse range of cellular processes. Dysregulation of cytosolic Ca(2+) handling in airway smooth muscle (ASM) has been implicated in asthma, and it has been hypothesised that this leads, at least in part, to associated changes in both the architecture and function of the lung. Significant research is therefore directed towards furthering our understanding of the mechanisms which control ASM cytosolic calcium, in addition to those regulating the sensitivity of its downstream effector targets to calcium. Key aspects of the recent developments in this field were discussed at the 8th Young Investigators' Symposium on Smooth Muscle (2013, Groningen, The Netherlands), and are outlined in this review.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are highly reactive oxygen-derived chemical compounds that are by-products of aerobic cellular metabolism as well as crucial second messengers in numerous signaling pathways. In excitation-contraction-coupling (ECC), which links electrical signaling and coordinated cardiac contraction, ROS have a severe impact on several key ion handling proteins such as ion channels and transporters, but also on regulating proteins such as protein kinases (e.g. CaMKII, PKA or PKC), thereby pivotally influencing the delicate balance of this finely tuned system. While essential as second messengers, ROS may be deleterious when excessively produced due to a disturbed balance in Na(+) and Ca(2+) handling, resulting in Na(+) and Ca(2+) overload, SR Ca(2+) loss and contractile dysfunction. This may, in the end, result in systolic and diastolic dysfunction and arrhythmias. This review aims to provide an overview of the single targets of ROS in ECC and to outline the role of ROS in major cardiac pathologies, such as heart failure and arrhythmogenesis.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) is a signalling molecule that appears to regulate diverse cell physiological process in several organs and systems including vascular and airway smooth muscle cell (SMC) contraction. Decreases in endogenous H2S synthesis have been associated with the development of cardiovascular diseases and asthma. Here we investigated the mechanism of airway SMC relaxation induced by H2S in small intrapulmonary airways using mouse lung slices and confocal and phase-contrast video microscopy. Exogenous H2S donor Na2S (100 μm) reversibly inhibited Ca(2+) release and airway contraction evoked by inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) uncaging in airway SMCs. Similarly, InsP3-evoked Ca(2+) release and contraction was inhibited by endogenous H2S precursor l-cysteine (10 mm) but not by l-serine (10 mm) or either amino acid in the presence of dl-propargylglycine (PPG). Consistent with the inhibition of Ca(2+) release through InsP3 receptors (InsP3Rs), Na2S reversibly inhibited acetylcholine (ACh)-induced Ca(2+) oscillations in airway SMCs. In addition, Na2S, the H2S donor GYY-4137, and l-cysteine caused relaxation of airways pre-contracted with either ACh or 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT). Na2S-induced airway relaxation was resistant to a guanylyl cyclase inhibitor (ODQ) and a protein kinase G inhibitor (Rp-8-pCPT-cGMPS). The effects of H2S on InsP3-evoked Ca(2+) release and contraction as well as on the relaxation of agonist-contracted airways were mimicked by the thiol-reducing agent dithiothreitol (DTT, 10 mm) and inhibited by the oxidizing agent diamide (30 μm). These studies indicate that H2S causes airway SMC relaxation by inhibiting Ca(2+) release through InsP3Rs and consequent reduction of agonist-induced Ca(2+) oscillations in SMCs. The results suggest a novel role for endogenously produced H2S that involves the modulation of InsP3-evoked Ca(2+) release - a cell-signalling system of critical importance for many physiological and pathophysiological processes.

Abstract
The modulation of cytoplasmic free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)]i) is a universal intracellular signaling pathway that regulates numerous cellular physiological processes. Ubiquitous intracellular Ca(2+)-release channels localized to the endoplasmic/sarcoplasmic reticulum-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP3R) and ryanodine receptor (RyR) channels-play a central role in [Ca(2+)]i signaling in all animal cells. Despite their intracellular localization, electrophysiological studies of the single-channel permeation and gating properties of these Ca(2+)-release channels using the powerful patch-clamp approach have been possible by application of this technique to isolated nuclei because the channels are present in membranes of the nuclear envelope. Here we provide a concise description of how nuclear patch-clamp experiments have been used to study single-channel properties of different InsP3R channels in the outer nuclear membrane. We compare this with other methods for studying intracellular Ca(2+) release. We also briefly describe application of the technique to InsP3R channels in the inner nuclear membrane and to channels in the outer nuclear membrane of HEK293 cells expressing recombinant RyR.

Abstract
Insulin resistance is defined as a reduced ability of insulin to stimulate glucose utilization. C57BL/6 mice fed with a high-fat diet (HFD) are a model of insulin resistance. In skeletal muscle, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) produced by NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2) is involved in signaling pathways triggered by insulin. We evaluated oxidative status in skeletal muscle fibers from insulin-resistant and control mice by determining H2O2 generation (HyPer probe), reduced-to-oxidized glutathione ratio and NOX2 expression. After eight weeks of HFD, insulin-dependent glucose uptake was impaired in skeletal muscle fibers when compared with control muscle fibers. Insulin-resistant mice showed increased insulin-stimulated H2O2 release and decreased reduced-to-oxidized glutathione ratio (GSH/GSSG). In addition, p47phox and gp91phox (NOX2 subunits) mRNA levels were also high (~3-fold in HFD mice compared to controls), while protein levels were 6.8- and 1.6-fold higher, respectively. Using apocynin (NOX2 inhibitor) during the HFD feeding period, the oxidative intracellular environment was diminished and skeletal muscle insulin-dependent glucose uptake restored. Our results indicate that insulin-resistant mice have increased H2O2 release upon insulin stimulation when compared with control animals, which appears to be mediated by an increase in NOX2 expression.

Abstract
In non-excitable cells, thiol-oxidizing agents have been shown to evoke oscillations in cytosolic free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) by increasing the sensitivity of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) receptor (IP(3)R) to IP(3). Although thiol modification of the IP(3)R is implicated in this response, the molecular nature of the modification(s) responsible for changes in channel activity is still not well understood. Diamide is a chemical oxidant that selectively converts reduced glutathione (GSH) to its disulfide (GSSG) and promotes the formation of protein–glutathione (P-SSG) mixed disulfide, i.e. glutathionylation. In the present study, we examined the effect of diamide, and the model oxidant hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)), on oscillations in [Ca(2+)](i) in fura-2-loaded bovine (BAECs) and human (HAECs) aortic endo-thelial cells using time-lapse fluorescence video microscopy. In the absence of extracellular Ca(2+), acute treatment with either diamide or H(2)O(2) increased the number of BAECs exhibiting asynchronous Ca(2+) oscillations, whereas HAECs were unexpectedly resistant. Diamide pretreatment increased the sensitivity of HAECs to histamine-stimulated Ca(2+) oscillations and BAECs to bradykinin-stimulated Ca(2+) oscillations. Moreover, in both HAECs and BAECs, diamide dramatically increased both the rate and magnitude of the thapsigargin-induced Ca(2+) transient suggesting that Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release (CICR) via the IP(3)R is enhanced by glutathionylation. Similar to diamide, H(2)O(2) increased the sensitivity of HAECs to both histamine and thapsigargin. Lastly, biochemical studies showed that glutathionylation of native IP(3)R(1) is increased in cells challenged with H(2)O(2). Collectively our results reveal that thiol-oxidizing agents primarily increase the sensitivity of the IP(3)R to Ca(2+), i.e. enhanced CICR, and suggest that glutathionylation may represent a fundamental mechanism for regulating IP(3)R activity during physiological redox signalling and during pathologicalical oxidative stress.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) performs multiple functions in the cell: it is the major site of protein and lipid synthesis as well as the most important intracellular Ca(2+) reservoir. Adverse conditions, including a decrease in the ER Ca(2+) level or an increase in oxidative stress, impair the formation of new proteins, resulting in ER stress. The subsequent unfolded protein response (UPR) is a cellular attempt to lower the burden on the ER and to restore ER homeostasis by imposing a general arrest in protein synthesis, upregulating chaperone proteins and degrading misfolded proteins. This response can also lead to autophagy and, if the stress can not be alleviated, to apoptosis. The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor (IP3R) and IP3-induced Ca(2+) signaling are important players in these processes. Not only is the IP3R activity modulated in a dual way during ER stress, but also other key proteins involved in Ca(2+) signaling are modulated. Changes also occur at the structural level with a strengthening of the contacts between the ER and the mitochondria, which are important determinants of mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake. The resulting cytoplasmic and mitochondrial Ca(2+) signals will control cellular decisions that either promote cell survival or cause their elimination via apoptosis. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: 12th European Symposium on Calcium.

Abstract
The ubiquitous inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP(3)) receptor (InsP(3)R) Ca(2+) release channel plays a central role in the generation and modulation of intracellular Ca(2+) signals, and is intricately regulated by multiple mechanisms including cytoplasmic ligand (InsP(3), free Ca(2+), free ATP(4-)) binding, posttranslational modifications, and interactions with cytoplasmic and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) luminal proteins. However, regulation of InsP(3)R channel activity by free Ca(2+) in the ER lumen ([Ca(2+)](ER)) remains poorly understood because of limitations of Ca(2+) flux measurements and imaging techniques. Here, we used nuclear patch-clamp experiments in excised luminal-side-out configuration with perfusion solution exchange to study the effects of [Ca(2+)](ER) on homotetrameric rat type 3 InsP(3)R channel activity. In optimal [Ca(2+)](i) and subsaturating [InsP(3)], jumps of [Ca(2+)](ER) from 70 nM to 300 µM reduced channel activity significantly. This inhibition was abrogated by saturating InsP(3) but restored when [Ca(2+)](ER) was raised to 1.1 mM. In suboptimal [Ca(2+)](i), jumps of [Ca(2+)](ER) (70 nM to 300 µM) enhanced channel activity. Thus, [Ca(2+)](ER) effects on channel activity exhibited a biphasic dependence on [Ca(2+)](i). In addition, the effect of high [Ca(2+)](ER) was attenuated when a voltage was applied to oppose Ca(2+) flux through the channel. These observations can be accounted for by Ca(2+) flux driven through the open InsP(3)R channel by [Ca(2+)](ER), raising local [Ca(2+)](i) around the channel to regulate its activity through its cytoplasmic regulatory Ca(2+)-binding sites. Importantly, [Ca(2+)](ER) regulation of InsP(3)R channel activity depended on cytoplasmic Ca(2+)-buffering conditions: it was more pronounced when [Ca(2+)](i) was weakly buffered but completely abolished in strong Ca(2+)-buffering conditions. With strong cytoplasmic buffering and Ca(2+) flux sufficiently reduced by applied voltage, both activation and inhibition of InsP(3)R channel gating by physiological levels of [Ca(2+)](ER) were completely abolished. Collectively, these results rule out Ca(2+) regulation of channel activity by direct binding to the luminal aspect of the channel.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia in the elderly, affecting several million of people worldwide. Pathological changes in the AD brain include the presence of amyloid plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, loss of neurons and synapses, and oxidative damage. These changes strongly associate with mitochondrial dysfunction and stress of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Mitochondrial dysfunction is intimately linked to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial-driven apoptosis, which appear to be aggravated in the brain of AD patients. Concomitantly, mitochondria are closely associated with ER, and the deleterious crosstalk between both organelles has been shown to be involved in neuronal degeneration in AD. Stimuli that enhance expression of normal and/or folding-defective proteins activate an adaptive unfolded protein response (UPR) that, if unresolved, can cause apoptotic cell death. ER stress also induces the generation of ROS that, together with mitochondrial ROS and decreased activity of several antioxidant defenses, promotes chronic oxidative stress. In this paper we discuss the critical role of mitochondrial and ER dysfunction in oxidative injury in AD cellular and animal models, as well as in biological fluids from AD patients. Progress in developing peripheral and cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers related to oxidative stress will also be summarized.

Abstract
AIMS The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is involved in many functions, including protein folding, redox homeostasis, and Ca(2+) storage and signaling. To perform these multiple tasks, the ER is composed of distinct, specialized subregions, amongst which mitochondrial-associated ER membranes (MAM) emerge as key signaling hubs. How these multiple functions are integrated with one another in living cells remains unclear. RESULTS Here we show that Ero1α, a key controller of oxidative folding and ER redox homeostasis, is enriched in MAM and regulates Ca(2+) fluxes. Downregulation of Ero1α by RNA interference inhibits mitochondrial Ca(2+) fluxes and modifies the activity of mitochondrial Ca(2+) uniporters. The overexpression of redox active Ero1α increases passive Ca(2+) efflux from the ER, lowering [Ca(2+)](ER) and mitochondrial Ca(2+) fluxes in response to IP3 agonists. INNOVATION The unexpected observation that Ca(2+) fluxes are affected by either increasing or decreasing the levels of Ero1α reveals a pivotal role for this oxidase in the early secretory compartment and implies a strict control of its amounts. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, our results indicate that the levels, subcellular localization, and activity of Ero1α coordinately regulate Ca(2+) and redox homeostasis and signaling in the early secretory compartment.

Abstract
Previous studies have indicated that ERp44 inhibits inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3))-induced Ca(2+) release (IICR) via IP(3)R(1), but the mechanism remains largely unexplored. Using extracellular ATP to induce intracellular calcium transient as an IICR model, Ca(2+) image, pull down assay, and Western blotting experiments were carried out in the present study. We found that extracellular ATP induced calcium transient via IP(3)Rs (IICR) and the IICR were markedly decreased in ERp44 overexpressed Hela cells. The inhibitory effect of C160S/C212S but not C29S/T396A/ΔT(331-377) mutants of ERp44 on IICR were significantly decreased compared with ERp44. However, the binding capacity of ERp44 to L3V domain of IP(3)R(1) (1L3V) was enhanced by ERp44 C160S/C212S mutation. Taken together, these results suggest that the mutants of ERp44, C160/C212, can more tightly bind to IP(3)R(1) but exhibit a weak inhibition of IP(3)R(1) channel activity in Hela cells.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) as an intracellular Ca(2+) store not only sets up cytosolic Ca(2+) signals, but, among other functions, also assembles and folds newly synthesized proteins. Alterations in ER homeostasis, including severe Ca(2+) depletion, are an upstream event in the pathophysiology of many diseases. On the one hand, insufficient release of activator Ca(2+) may no longer sustain essential cell functions. On the other hand, loss of luminal Ca(2+) causes ER stress and activates an unfolded protein response, which, depending on the duration and severity of the stress, can reestablish normal ER function or lead to cell death. We will review these various diseases by mainly focusing on the mechanisms that cause ER Ca(2+) depletion.

Abstract
The roles of calmodulin (CaM) have been key points of controversy in the regulation of inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP(3)R). To address the issue, we studied the interaction between CaM and the suppressor domain of IP(3)R, a key allosteric regulatory domain. First, by means of a pulldown and a fluorescence titration experiment, we confirmed the interaction. Through subsequent NMR binding experiments, we observed dramatic peak disappearances of the suppressor domain on interaction with apo-CaM. The data indicated that apo-CaM induces large-scale dynamic conformational changes in the suppressor domain, involving partial unfolding and subdomain rearrangement. Analysis of the NMR data of CaM surprisingly revealed that its C lobe alone can cause such changes. Further binding experiments showed that calcium allows the free N lobe to bind to the suppressor domain, which induces extra conformational changes in both of the proteins. These results were also confirmed with CaM deletion mutants with either the N or C lobe. On the basis of this novel binding mechanism, we propose a model in which the partial unfolding of the suppressor domain by apo-CaM and the stepwise binding of the N lobe of CaM to the suppressor domain are important elements of calcium/CaM inhibition of IP(3)R. We believe that our working model encompasses previous regulation mechanisms of IP(3)R by calcium/CaM and provides new insights into the CaM-target interaction.

Abstract
Great insight has been gained into the structure and function of the inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate receptor (InsP(3)R) by studies employing mutagenesis of the cDNA encoding the receptor. Notably, early studies using this approach defined the key constituents required for InsP(3) binding in the N-terminus and the membrane spanning regions in the C-terminal domain responsible for channel formation, targeting and function. In this article we evaluate recent studies which have used a similar approach to investigate key residues underlying the in vivo modulation by select regulatory factors. In addition, we review studies defining the structural requirements in the channel domain which comprise the conduction pathway and are suggested to be involved in the gating of the channel.

Abstract
Homeostatic control of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) both as the site for protein handling (synthesis, folding, trafficking, disaggregation and degradation) and as a Ca2+ store is of crucial importance for correct functioning of the cell. Disturbance of the homeostatic control mechanisms leads to a vast array of severe pathologies. The Ca2+ content of the ER is a dynamic equilibrium between active uptake via Ca2+ pumps and Ca2+ release by a number of highly regulated Ca2+-release channels. Regulation of the Ca2+-release channels is very complex and several mechanisms are still poorly understood or controversial. There is increasing evidence that a number of unrelated proteins, either by themselves or in association with other Ca2+ channels, can provide additional Ca2+-leak pathways. The ER is a dynamic organelle and changes in its size and components have been described, either as a result of (de)differentiation processes affecting the secretory capacity of cells, or as a result of adaptation mechanisms to diverse stress conditions such as the unfolded protein response and autophagy. In this review we want to give an overview of the current knowledge of the (short-term) regulatory mechanisms that affect Ca2+-release and Ca2+-leak pathways and of the (long-term) adaptations in ER size and capacity. Understanding of the consequences of these mechanisms for cellular Ca2+ signaling could provide a huge therapeutic potential.

Abstract
CHOP turns on ERO1-α to release calcium via IP3R and trigger cell death in response to ER stress. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress–induced apoptosis is involved in many diseases, but the mechanisms linking ER stress to apoptosis are incompletely understood. Based on roles for C/EPB homologous protein (CHOP) and ER calcium release in apoptosis, we hypothesized that apoptosis involves the activation of inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3) receptor (IP3R) via CHOP-induced ERO1-α (ER oxidase 1 α). In ER-stressed cells, ERO1-α is induced by CHOP, and small interfering RNA (siRNA) knockdown of ERO1-α suppresses apoptosis. IP3-induced calcium release (IICR) is increased during ER stress, and this response is blocked by siRNA-mediated silencing of ERO1-α or IP3R1 and by loss-of-function mutations in Ero1a or Chop. Reconstitution of ERO1-α in Chop−/− macrophages restores ER stress–induced IICR and apoptosis. In vivo, macrophages from wild-type mice but not Chop−/− mice have elevated IICR when the animals are challenged with the ER stressor tunicamycin. Macrophages from insulin-resistant ob/ob mice, another model of ER stress, also have elevated IICR. These data shed new light on how the CHOP pathway of apoptosis triggers calcium-dependent apoptosis through an ERO1-α–IP3R pathway.
