Abstract
The release of peptide hormones is predominantly regulated by a transient increase in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]c). To trigger exocytosis, Ca2+ ions enter the cytosol from intracellular Ca2+ stores or from the extracellular space. The molecular events of late stages of exocytosis, and their dependence on [Ca2+]c, were extensively described in isolated single cells from various endocrine glands. Notably, less work has been done on endocrine cells in situ to address the heterogeneity of [Ca2+]c events contributing to a collective functional response of a gland. For this, β cell collectives in a pancreatic islet are particularly well suited as they are the smallest, experimentally manageable functional unit, where [Ca2+]c dynamics can be simultaneously assessed on both cellular and collective level. Here, we measured [Ca2+]c transients across all relevant timescales, from a subsecond to a minute time range, using high-resolution imaging with a low-affinity Ca2+ sensor. We quantified the recordings with a novel computational framework for automatic image segmentation and [Ca2+]c event identification. Our results demonstrate that under physiological conditions the duration of [Ca2+]c events is variable, and segregated into three reproducible modes, subsecond, second, and tens of seconds time range, and are a result of a progressive temporal summation of the shortest events. Using pharmacological tools we show that activation of intracellular Ca2+ receptors is both sufficient and necessary for glucose-dependent [Ca2+]c oscillations in β cell collectives, and that a subset of [Ca2+]c events could be triggered even in the absence of Ca2+ influx across the plasma membrane. In aggregate, our experimental and analytical platform was able to readily address the involvement of intracellular Ca2+ receptors in shaping the heterogeneity of [Ca2+]c responses in collectives of endocrine cells in situ.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Physiological glucose or ryanodine stimulation of β cell collectives generates a large number of [Ca2+]c events, which can be rapidly assessed with our newly developed automatic image segmentation and [Ca2+]c event identification pipeline. The event durations segregate into three reproducible modes produced by a progressive temporal summation. Using pharmacological tools, we show that activation of ryanodine intracellular Ca2+ receptors is both sufficient and necessary for glucose-dependent [Ca2+]c oscillations in β cell collectives.

Abstract
RATIONALE Ca2+ signaling is a key and ubiquitous actor of cell organization and its modulation controls many cellular responses. SERCAs (sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPases) pump Ca2+ into internal stores that play a major role in the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration rise upon cell activation. Platelets exhibit 2 types of SERCAs, SERCA2b and SERCA3 (SERCA3 deficient mice), which may exert specific roles, yet ill-defined. We have recently shown that Ca2+ mobilization from SERCA3-dependent stores was required for full platelet activation in weak stimulation conditions. OBJECTIVE To uncover the signaling mechanisms associated with Ca2+ mobilization from SERCA3-dependent stores leading to ADP secretion. METHODS AND RESULTS Using platelets from wild-type or Serca3-deficient mice, we demonstrated that an early (within 5-10 s following stimulation) secretion of ADP specifically dependent on SERCA3 stored Ca2+ is exclusively mobilized by nicotinic acid adenosine dinucleotide-phosphate (NAADP): both Ca2+ mobilization from SERCA3-dependent stores and primary ADP secretion are blocked by the NAADP receptor antagonist Ned-19, and reciprocally both are stimulated by permeant NAADP. In contrast, Ca2+ mobilization from SERCA3-dependent stores and primary ADP secretion were unaffected by inhibition of the production of IP3 (inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate) by phospholipase-C and accordingly were not stimulated by permeant IP3. CONCLUSIONS Upon activation, an NAADP/SERCA3 Ca2+ mobilization pathway initiates an early ADP secretion, potentiating platelet activation, and a secondary wave of ADP secretion driven by both an IP3/SERCA2b-dependent Ca2+ stores pathway and the NAADP/SERCA3 pathway. This does not exclude that Ca2+ mobilized from SERCA3 stores may also enhance platelet global reactivity to agonists. Because of its modulating effect on platelet activation, this NAADP-SERCA3 pathway may be a relevant target for anti-thrombotic therapy.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) calcium homeostasis plays an essential role in cellular calcium signaling, intra-ER protein chaperoning and maturation, as well as in the interaction of the ER with other organelles. Calcium is accumulated in the ER by sarco/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPases (SERCA enzymes) that generate by active, ATP-dependent transport, a several thousand-fold calcium ion concentration gradient between the cytosol (low nanomolar) and the ER lumen (high micromolar). SERCA enzymes are coded by three genes that by alternative splicing give rise to several isoforms, which can display isoform-specific calcium transport characteristics. SERCA expression levels and isoenzyme composition vary according to cell type, and this constitutes a mechanism whereby ER calcium homeostasis is adapted to the signaling and metabolic needs of the cell, depending on its phenotype, its state of activation and differentiation. As reviewed here, in several normal epithelial cell types including bronchial, mammary, gastric, colonic and choroid plexus epithelium, as well as in mature cells of hematopoietic origin such as pumps are simultaneously expressed, whereas in corresponding tumors and leukemias SERCA3 expression is selectively down-regulated. SERCA3 expression is restored during the pharmacologically induced differentiation of various cancer and leukemia cell types. SERCA3 is a useful marker for the study of cell differentiation, and the loss of SERCA3 expression constitutes a previously unrecognized example of the remodeling of calcium homeostasis in tumors.

Abstract
Intracellular Са2+ controls its own level by regulation of Ca2+ transport across the plasma and organellar membranes, often acting via calmodulin (CaM). Drugs antagonizing CaM action induce an increase in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration in different cells. We have found persistent Са2+ oscillations in cultured white adipocytes in response to calmidazolium (CMZ). They appeared at [CMZ] > 1 μM as repetitive sharp spikes mainly superimposed on a transient or elevated baseline. Similar oscillations were observed when we used trifluoperazine. Oscillations evoked by 5 μM CMZ resulted from the release of stored Ca2+ and were supported by Са2+ entry. Inhibition of store-operated channels by YM-58483 or 2-APB did not change the responses. Phospholipase A2 inhibited by AACOCF3 was responsible for initial Ca2+ mobilization, but not for subsequent oscillations, whereas inhibition of iPLA2 by BEL had no effect. Phospholipase C was partially involved in both stages as revealed with U73122. Intracellular Са2+ stores engaged by CMZ were entirely dependent on thapsigargin. The oscillations existed in the presence of inhibitors of ryanodine or inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors, or antagonists of Ca2+ transport by lysosome-like acidic stores. Carbenoxolone or octanol, blockers of hemichannels (connexons), when applied for two hours, prevented oscillations but did not affect the initial Са2+ release. Incubation with La3+ for 2 or 24 h inhibited all responses to CMZ, retaining the thapsigargin-induced Ca2+ rise. These results suggest that Ca2+-CaM regulation suppresses La3+-sensitive channels in non-acidic organelles, of which arachidonate-activated channels initiate Ca2+ oscillations, and connexons are intimately implicated in their generation mechanism.

Abstract
Alterations in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) calcium (Ca2+) levels diminish insulin secretion and reduce β-cell survival in both major forms of diabetes. The mechanisms responsible for ER Ca2+ loss in β cells remain incompletely understood. Moreover, a specific role for either ryanodine receptor (RyR) or inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate receptor (IP3R) dysfunction in the pathophysiology of diabetes remains largely untested. To this end, here we applied intracellular and ER Ca2+ imaging techniques in INS-1 β cells and isolated islets to determine whether diabetogenic stressors alter RyR or IP3R function. Our results revealed that the RyR is sensitive mainly to ER stress-induced dysfunction, whereas cytokine stress specifically alters IP3R activity. Consistent with this observation, pharmacological inhibition of the RyR with ryanodine and inhibition of the IP3R with xestospongin C prevented ER Ca2+ loss under ER and cytokine stress conditions, respectively. However, RyR blockade distinctly prevented β-cell death, propagation of the unfolded protein response (UPR), and dysfunctional glucose-induced Ca2+ oscillations in tunicamycin-treated INS-1 β cells and mouse islets and Akita islets. Monitoring at the single-cell level revealed that ER stress acutely increases the frequency of intracellular Ca2+ transients that depend on both ER Ca2+ leakage from the RyR and plasma membrane depolarization. Collectively, these findings indicate that RyR dysfunction shapes ER Ca2+ dynamics in β cells and regulates both UPR activation and cell death, suggesting that RyR-mediated loss of ER Ca2+ may be an early pathogenic event in diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Single-cell RNA sequencing studies have revealed that the type-2 diabetes associated two-pore domain K+ (K2P) channel TALK-1 is abundantly expressed in somatostatin-secreting δ-cells. However, a physiological role for TALK-1 in δ-cells remains unknown. We previously determined that in β-cells, K+ flux through endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-localized TALK-1 channels enhances ER Ca2+ leak, modulating Ca2+ handling and insulin secretion. As glucose amplification of islet somatostatin release relies on Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR) from the δ-cell ER, we investigated whether TALK-1 modulates δ-cell Ca2+ handling and somatostatin secretion. METHODS To define the functions of islet δ-cell TALK-1 channels, we generated control and TALK-1 channel-deficient (TALK-1 KO) mice expressing fluorescent reporters specifically in δ- and α-cells to facilitate cell type identification. Using immunofluorescence, patch clamp electrophysiology, Ca2+ imaging, and hormone secretion assays, we assessed how TALK-1 channel activity impacts δ- and α-cell function. RESULTS TALK-1 channels are expressed in both mouse and human δ-cells, where they modulate glucose-stimulated changes in cytosolic Ca2+ and somatostatin secretion. Measurement of cytosolic Ca2+ levels in response to membrane potential depolarization revealed enhanced CICR in TALK-1 KO δ-cells that could be abolished by depleting ER Ca2+ with sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA) inhibitors. Consistent with elevated somatostatin inhibitory tone, we observed significantly reduced glucagon secretion and α-cell Ca2+ oscillations in TALK-1 KO islets, and found that blockade of α-cell somatostatin signaling with a somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) antagonist restored glucagon secretion in TALK-1 KO islets. CONCLUSIONS These data indicate that TALK-1 reduces δ-cell cytosolic Ca2+ elevations and somatostatin release by limiting δ-cell CICR, modulating the intraislet paracrine signaling mechanisms that control glucagon secretion.

Abstract
The role of the sarco-endoplasmic reticulum calcium (Ca(2+)) adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) 3 (SERCA3) in platelet physiology remains poorly understood. Here, we show that SERCA3 knockout (SERCA3(-/-)) mice exhibit prolonged tail bleeding time and rebleeding. Thrombus formation was delayed both in arteries and venules in an in vivo ferric chloride-induced thrombosis model. Defective platelet adhesion and thrombus growth over collagen was confirmed in vitro. Adenosine 5'-diphosphate (ADP) removal by apyrase diminished adhesion and thrombus growth of control platelets to the level of SERCA3(-/-) platelets. Aggregation, dense granule secretion, and Ca(2+) mobilization of SERCA3(-/-) platelets induced by low collagen or low thrombin concentration were weaker than controls. Accordingly, SERCA3(-/-) platelets exhibited a partial defect in total stored Ca(2+) and in Ca(2+) store reuptake following thrombin stimulation. Importantly ADP, but not serotonin, rescued aggregation, secretion, and Ca(2+) mobilization in SERCA3(-/-) platelets, suggesting specificity. Dense granules appeared normal upon electron microscopy, mepacrine staining, and total serotonin content, ruling out a dense granule defect. ADP induced normal platelet aggregation, excluding a defect in ADP activation pathways. The SERCA3-specific inhibitor 2,5-di-(tert-butyl)-1,4-benzohydroquinone diminished both Ca(2+) mobilization and secretion of control platelets, as opposed to the SERCA2b inhibitor thapsigargin. This confirmed the specific role of catalytically active SERCA3 in ADP secretion. Accordingly, SERCA3-dependent Ca(2+) stores appeared depleted in SERCA3(-/-) platelets. Finally, αIIbβ3 integrin blockade did not affect SERCA3-dependent secretion, therefore proving independent of αIIbβ3 engagement. Altogether, these results show that SERCA3-dependent Ca(2+) stores control a specific ADP secretion pathway required for full platelet secretion induced by agonists at low concentration and independent of αIIbβ3.

Abstract
Proper regulation of cytosolic Ca(2+) is critical for pancreatic acinar cell function. Disruptions in normal Ca(2+) concentrations affect numerous cellular functions and are associated with pancreatitis. Membrane pumps and channels regulate cytosolic Ca(2+) homeostasis by promoting rapid Ca(2+) movement. Determining how expression of Ca(2+) modulators is regulated and the cellular alterations that occur upon changes in expression can provide insight into initiating events of pancreatitis. The goal of this study was to delineate the gene structure and regulation of a novel pancreas-specific isoform for Secretory Pathway Ca(2+) ATPase 2 (termed SPCA2C), which is encoded from the Atp2c2 gene. Using Next Generation Sequencing of RNA (RNA-seq), chromatin immunoprecipitation for epigenetic modifications and promoter-reporter assays, a novel transcriptional start site was identified that promotes expression of a transcript containing the last four exons of the Atp2c2 gene (Atp2c2c). This region was enriched for epigenetic marks and pancreatic transcription factors that promote gene activation. Promoter activity for regions upstream of the ATG codon in Atp2c2's 24th exon was observed in vitro but not in in vivo. Translation from this ATG encodes a protein aligned with the carboxy terminal of SPCA2. Functional analysis in HEK 293A cells indicates a unique role for SPCA2C in increasing cytosolic Ca(2+) . RNA analysis indicates that the decreased Atp2c2c expression observed early in experimental pancreatitis reflects a global molecular response of acinar cells to reduce cytosolic Ca(2+) levels. Combined, these results suggest SPCA2C affects Ca(2+) homeostasis in pancreatic acinar cells in a unique fashion relative to other Ca(2+) ATPases. J. Cell.

Abstract
Glucokinase (GCK) controls the rate of glucose metabolism in pancreatic β cells, and its activity is rate-limiting for insulin secretion. Posttranslational GCK activation can be stimulated through either G protein-coupled receptors or receptor tyrosine kinase signaling pathways, suggesting a common mechanism. Here we show that inhibiting Ca(2+) release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) decouples GCK activation from receptor stimulation. Furthermore, pharmacological release of ER Ca(2+) stimulates activation of a GCK optical biosensor and potentiates glucose metabolism, implicating rises in cytoplasmic Ca(2+) as a critical regulatory mechanism. To explore the potential for glucose-stimulated GCK activation, the GCK biosensor was optimized using circularly permuted mCerulean3 proteins. This new sensor sensitively reports activation in response to insulin, glucagon-like peptide 1, and agents that raise cAMP levels. Transient, glucose-stimulated GCK activation was observed in βTC3 and MIN6 cells. An ER-localized channelrhodopsin was used to manipulate the cytoplasmic Ca(2+) concentration in cells expressing the optimized FRET-GCK sensor. This permitted quantification of the relationship between cytoplasmic Ca(2+) concentrations and GCK activation. Half-maximal activation of the FRET-GCK sensor was estimated to occur at ∼400 nm Ca(2+). When expressed in islets, fluctuations in GCK activation were observed in response to glucose, and we estimated that posttranslational activation of GCK enhances glucose metabolism by ∼35%. These results suggest a mechanism for integrative control over GCK activation and, therefore, glucose metabolism and insulin secretion through regulation of cytoplasmic Ca(2+) levels.

Abstract
Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) from pancreatic β-cells requires an increase in intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]). Glucose uptake into β-cells promotes Ca2+ influx and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. In other cell types, Ca2+ and ROS jointly induce Ca2+ release mediated by ryanodine receptor (RyR) channels. Therefore, we explored here if RyR-mediated Ca2+ release contributes to GSIS in β-cell islets isolated from male rats. Stimulatory glucose increased islet insulin secretion, and promoted ROS generation in islets and dissociated β-cells. Conventional PCR assays and immunostaining confirmed that β-cells express RyR2, the cardiac RyR isoform. Extended incubation of β-cell islets with inhibitory ryanodine suppressed GSIS; so did the antioxidant N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), which also decreased insulin secretion induced by glucose plus caffeine. Inhibitory ryanodine or NAC did not affect insulin secretion induced by glucose plus carbachol, which engages inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors. Incubation of islets with H2O2 in basal glucose increased insulin secretion 2-fold. Inhibitory ryanodine significantly decreased H2O2-stimulated insulin secretion and prevented the 4.5-fold increase of cytoplasmic [Ca2+] produced by incubation of dissociated β-cells with H2O2. Addition of stimulatory glucose or H2O2 (in basal glucose) to β-cells disaggregated from islets increased RyR2 S-glutathionylation to similar levels, measured by a proximity ligation assay; in contrast, NAC significantly reduced the RyR2 S-glutathionylation increase produced by stimulatory glucose. We propose that RyR2-mediated Ca2+ release, induced by the concomitant increases in [Ca2+] and ROS produced by stimulatory glucose, is an essential step in GSIS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase 2b (SERCA2b) and SERCA3 pump Ca(2+) in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of pancreatic β-cells. We studied their role in the control of the free ER Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](ER)) and the role of SERCA3 in the control of insulin secretion and ER stress. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS β-Cell [Ca(2+)](ER) of SERCA3(+/+) and SERCA3(-/-) mice was monitored with an adenovirus encoding the low Ca(2+)-affinity sensor D4 addressed to the ER (D4ER) under the control of the insulin promoter. Free cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](c)) and [Ca(2+)](ER) were simultaneously recorded. Insulin secretion and mRNA levels of ER stress genes were studied. RESULTS Glucose elicited synchronized [Ca(2+)](ER) and [Ca(2+)](c) oscillations. [Ca(2+)](ER) oscillations were smaller in SERCA3(-/-) than in SERCA3(+/+) β-cells. Stimulating cell metabolism with various [glucose] in the presence of diazoxide induced a similar dose-dependent [Ca(2+)](ER) rise in SERCA3(+/+) and SERCA3(-/-) β-cells. In a Ca(2+)-free medium, glucose moderately raised [Ca(2+)](ER) from a highly buffered cytosolic Ca(2+) pool. Increasing [Ca(2+)](c) with high [K] elicited a [Ca(2+)](ER) rise that was larger but more transient in SERCA3(+/+) than SERCA3(-/-) β-cells because of the activation of a Ca(2+) release from the ER in SERCA3(+/+) β-cells. Glucose-induced insulin release was larger in SERCA3(-/-) than SERCA3(+/+) islets. SERCA3 ablation did not induce ER stress. CONCLUSIONS [Ca(2+)](c) and [Ca(2+)](ER) oscillate in phase in response to glucose. Upon [Ca(2+)](c) increase, Ca(2+) is taken up by SERCA2b and SERCA3. Strong Ca(2+) influx triggers a Ca(2+) release from the ER that depends on SERCA3. SERCA3 deficiency neither impairs Ca(2+) uptake by the ER upon cell metabolism acceleration and insulin release nor induces ER stress.

Abstract
Insulin secretion from pancreatic β cells is stimulated by glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a blood glucose-lowering hormone that is released from enteroendocrine L cells of the distal intestine after the ingestion of a meal. GLP-1 mimetics (e.g., Byetta) and GLP-1 analogs (e.g., Victoza) activate the β cell GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R), and these compounds stimulate insulin secretion while also lowering levels of blood glucose in patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). An additional option for the treatment of T2DM involves the administration of dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors (e.g., Januvia, Galvus). These compounds slow metabolic degradation of intestinally released GLP-1, thereby raising post-prandial levels of circulating GLP-1 substantially. Investigational compounds that stimulate GLP-1 secretion also exist, and in this regard a noteworthy advance is the demonstration that small molecule GPR119 agonists (e.g., AR231453) stimulate L cell GLP-1 secretion while also directly stimulating β cell insulin release. In this review, we summarize what is currently known concerning the signal transduction properties of the β cell GLP-1R as they relate to insulin secretion. Emphasized are the cyclic AMP, protein kinase A, and Epac2-mediated actions of GLP-1 to regulate ATP-sensitive K⁺ channels, voltage-dependent K⁺ channels, TRPM2 cation channels, intracellular Ca⁺ release channels, and Ca⁺-dependent exocytosis. We also discuss new evidence that provides a conceptual framework with which to understand why GLP-1R agonists are less likely to induce hypoglycemia when they are administered for the treatment of T2DM.

Abstract
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) binds its Class II G protein-coupled receptor to stimulate cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) production and to potentiate the glucose metabolism-dependent secretion of insulin from pancreatic β cells located within the islets of Langerhans. Prior clinical studies demonstrate that this cAMP-mediated action of GLP-1 to potentiate glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) is of major therapeutic importance when evaluating the abilities of GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists to lower levels of blood glucose in type 2 diabetic subjects. Surprisingly, recent in vitro studies of human or rodent islets of Langerhans provide evidence for the existence of a noncanonical mechanism of β cell cAMP signal transduction, one that may explain how GLP-1R agonists potentiate GSIS. What these studies demonstrate is that a cAMP-regulated guanine nucleotide exchange factor designated as Epac2 couples β cell cAMP production to the protein kinase A-independent stimulation of insulin exocytosis. Provided here is an overview of the Epac2 signal transduction system in β cells, with special emphasis on Rap1, a Ras-related GTPase that is an established target of Epac2.

Abstract
Calcium can be mobilized in pancreatic β-cells via a mechanism of Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release (CICR), and cAMP-elevating agents such as exendin-4 facilitate CICR in β-cells by activating both protein kinase A and Epac2. Here we provide the first report that a novel phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C- (PLC-) is expressed in the islets of Langerhans, and that the knockout (KO) of PLC- gene expression in mice disrupts the action of exendin-4 to facilitate CICR in the β-cells of these mice. Thus, in the present study, in which wild-type (WT) C57BL/6 mouse β-cells were loaded with the photolabile Ca(2+) chelator NP-EGTA, the UV flash photolysis-catalysed uncaging of Ca(2+) generated CICR in only 9% of the β-cells tested, whereas CICR was generated in 82% of the β-cells pretreated with exendin-4. This action of exendin-4 to facilitate CICR was reproduced by cAMP analogues that activate protein kinase A (6-Bnz-cAMP-AM) or Epac2 (8-pCPT-2'-O-Me-cAMP-AM) selectively. However, in β-cells of PLC- KO mice, and also Epac2 KO mice, these test substances exhibited differential efficacies in the CICR assay such that exendin-4 was partly effective, 6-Bnz-cAMP-AM was fully effective, and 8-pCPT-2'-O-Me-cAMP-AM was without significant effect. Importantly, transduction of PLC- KO β-cells with recombinant PLC- rescued the action of 8-pCPT-2'-O-Me-cAMP-AM to facilitate CICR, whereas a K2150E PLC- with a mutated Ras association (RA) domain, or a H1640L PLC- that is catalytically dead, were both ineffective. Since 8-pCPT-2'-O-Me-cAMP-AM failed to facilitate CICR in WT β-cells transduced with a GTPase activating protein (RapGAP) that downregulates Rap activity, the available evidence indicates that a signal transduction 'module' comprised of Epac2, Rap and PLC- exists in β-cells, and that the activities of Epac2 and PLC- are key determinants of CICR in this cell type.

Abstract
The sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPases (SERCAs) play a crucial role in regulating free cytosolic Ca2+ concentration in diverse cell types. It has been shown that recombinant SERCA3, when measured in heterologous systems, exhibits low apparent affinity for Ca2+; however, Ca2+ affinity of native SERCA3 in an endogenous setting has not been examined. Such a measurement is complicated, because SERCA3 is always coexpressed with the housekeeping isoform SERCA2b. We used a fluorescence-based assay for monitoring continuous Ca2+ uptake into microsomes to examine the properties of endogenous human SERCA3 and SERCA2b. The kinetic parameters were derived using a cooperative two-component uptake model for Ca2+ activation, and the values assigned to SERCA3 were confirmed using the highly specific human SERCA3 inhibitory antibody PL/IM430. First, using recombinant human SERCA3 and SERCA2b proteins transiently expressed in HEK-293 cells, we confirmed the previously observed low apparent Ca2+ affinity for SERCA3 compared with SERCA2b (1.10 ± 0.04 vs. 0.26 ± 0.01 μM), and using mixtures of recombinant protein isoforms, we validated the two-component uptake model. Then we determined apparent Ca2+ affinity for SERCA proteins present endogenously in cultured Jurkat T lymphocytes and freshly isolated human tonsil lymphocytes. The apparent Ca2+ affinity in these two preparations was 1.04 ± 0.07 and 1.1 ± 0.2 μM for SERCA3 and 0.27 ± 0.02 and 0.26 ± 0.01 μM for SERCA2b, respectively. Our data demonstrate, for the first time, that affinity for Ca2+ is inherently lower for SERCA3 expressed in situ than for other SERCA isoforms.

Abstract
Pancreatic beta-cell death is a critical event in type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and clinical islet transplantation. We have previously shown that prolonged block of ryanodine receptor (RyR)-gated release from intracellular Ca(2+) stores activates calpain-10-dependent apoptosis in beta-cells. In the present study, we further characterized intracellular Ca(2+) channel expression and function in human islets and the MIN6 beta-cell line. All three RyR isoforms were identified in human islets and MIN6 cells, and these endoplasmic reticulum channels were observed in close proximity to mitochondria. Blocking RyR channels, but not sarco/endoplasmic reticulum ATPase (SERCA) pumps, reduced the ATP/ADP ratio. Blocking Ca(2+) flux through RyR or inositol trisphosphate receptor channels, but not SERCA pumps, increased the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1beta). Moreover, inhibition of RyR or inositol trisphosphate receptor channels, but not SERCA pumps, increased the expression of presenilin-1. Both HIF-1beta and presenilin-1 expression were also induced by low glucose. Overexpression of presenilin-1 increased HIF-1beta, suggesting that HIF is downstream of presenilin. Our results provide the first evidence of a presenilin-HIF signaling network in beta-cells. We demonstrate that this pathway is controlled by Ca(2+) flux through intracellular channels, likely via changes in mitochondrial metabolism and ATP. These findings provide a mechanistic understanding of the signaling pathways activated when intracellular Ca(2+) homeostasis and metabolic activity are suppressed in diabetes and islet transplantation.

Abstract
The control of glucagon secretion by pancreatic alpha-cells is poorly understood, largely because of the difficulty to recognize living alpha-cells. We describe a new mouse model, referred to as GluCre-ROSA26EYFP (or GYY), allowing easy alpha-cell identification because of specific expression of EYFP. GYY mice displayed normal glycemic control during a fasting/refeeding test or intraperitoneal insulin injection. Glucagon secretion by isolated islets was normally inhibited by glucose and stimulated by adrenaline. [Ca(2+)](c) responses to arginine, adrenaline, diazoxide and tolbutamide, were similar in GYY and control mice. Hence, this new mouse model is a reliable and powerful tool to specifically study alpha-cells.

Abstract
Pancreatic islets of Langerhans display complex intracellular calcium changes in response to glucose that include fast (seconds), slow ( approximately 5 min), and mixed fast/slow oscillations; the slow and mixed oscillations are likely responsible for the pulses of plasma insulin observed in vivo. To better understand the mechanisms underlying these diverse patterns, we systematically analyzed the effects of glucose on period, amplitude, and plateau fraction (the fraction of time spent in the active phase) of the various regimes of calcium oscillations. We found that in both fast and slow islets, increasing glucose had limited effects on amplitude and period, but increased plateau fraction. In some islets, however, glucose caused a major shift in the amplitude and period of oscillations, which we attribute to a conversion between ionic and glycolytic modes (i.e., regime change). Raising glucose increased the plateau fraction equally in fast, slow, and regime-changing islets. A mathematical model of the pancreatic islet consisting of an ionic subsystem interacting with a slower metabolic oscillatory subsystem can account for these complex islet calcium oscillations by modifying the relative contributions of oscillatory metabolism and oscillatory ionic mechanisms to electrical activity, with coupling occurring via K(ATP) channels.

Abstract
The exocytosis of insulin-containing granules from pancreatic beta-cells is tightly regulated by changes in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). We investigated the role of the sarcoendoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) pump, Na+/Ca2+ exchanger, and plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase pump in the Ca2+ dynamics of single rat pancreatic beta-cells. When the membrane potential was voltage clamped at -70 mV (in 3 mm glucose at approximately 22 or 35 C), SERCA pump inhibition dramatically slowed (approximately 4-fold) cytosolic Ca2+ clearance and caused a sustained rise in basal [Ca2+]i via the activation of capacitative Ca2+ entry. SERCA pump inhibition increased ( approximately 1.8-fold) the amplitude of the depolarization-triggered Ca2+ transient at approximately 22 C. Inhibition of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger or plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase pump had only minor effects on Ca2+ dynamics. Simultaneous measurement of [Ca2+]i and exocytosis (with capacitance measurement) revealed that SERCA pump inhibition increased the magnitude of depolarization-triggered exocytosis. This enhancement in exocytosis was not due to the slowing of the cytosolic Ca2+ clearance but was closely correlated to the increase in the peak of the depolarization-triggered Ca2+ transient. When compared at similar [Ca2+]i with controls, the rise in basal [Ca2+]i during SERCA pump inhibition did not cause any enhancement in the magnitude of the ensuing depolarization-triggered exocytosis. Therefore, we conclude that in rat pancreatic beta-cells, the rapid uptake of Ca2+ by SERCA pump limits the peak amplitude of depolarization-triggered [Ca2+]i rise and thus controls the amount of insulin secretion.

Abstract
The blood glucose-lowering hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) stimulates cAMP production, promotes Ca2+ influx, and mobilizes an intracellular source of Ca2+ in pancreatic beta cells. Here we provide evidence that these actions of GLP-1 are functionally related: they reflect a process of Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR) that requires activation of protein kinase A (PKA) and the Epac family of cAMP-regulated guanine nucleotide exchange factors (cAMPGEFs). In rat insulin-secreting INS-1 cells or mouse beta cells loaded with caged Ca2+ (NP-EGTA), a GLP-1 receptor agonist (exendin-4) is demonstrated to sensitize intracellular Ca2+ release channels to stimulatory effects of cytosolic Ca2+, thereby allowing CICR to be generated by the uncaging of Ca2+ (UV flash photolysis). This sensitizing action of exendin-4 is diminished by an inhibitor of PKA (H-89) or by overexpression of dominant negative Epac. It is reproduced by cell-permeant cAMP analogues that activate PKA (6-Bnz-cAMP) or Epac (8-pCPT-2'-O-Me-cAMP) selectively. Depletion of Ca2+ stores with thapsigargin abolishes CICR, while inhibitors of Ca2+ release channels (ryanodine and heparin) attenuate CICR in an additive manner. Because the uncaging of Ca2+ fails to stimulate CICR in the absence of cAMP-elevating agents, it is concluded that there exists in beta cells a process of second messenger coincidence detection, whereby intracellular Ca2+ release channels (ryanodine receptors, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptors) monitor a simultaneous increase of cAMP and Ca2+ concentrations. We propose that second messenger coincidence detection of this type may explain how GLP-1 interacts with beta cell glucose metabolism to stimulate insulin secretion.

Abstract
We have described previously a novel Ca2+-induced Ca2+-release (CICR) mechanism in permeabilized A7r5 cells (embryonic rat aorta) and 16HBE14o-cells (human bronchial mucosa) cells (J Biol Chem 278:27548-27555, 2003). This CICR mechanism was activated upon the elevation of the free cytosolic calcium concentration [Ca2+]c and was not inhibited by pharmacological inhibitors of the inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor nor of the ryanodine receptor. This CICR mechanism was inhibited by calmodulin (CaM)1234, a Ca2+-insensitive CaM mutant, and by different members of the superfamily of CaM-like Ca2+-binding proteins. Here, we present evidence that the CICR mechanism that is expressed in A7r5 and 16HBE14o-cells is strongly activated by suramin and 4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS). We found several indications that both activation mechanisms are indeed two different modes of the same release system. Suramin/DIDS-induced Ca2+ release was only detected in cells that displayed the CICR mechanism, and cell types that do not express this type of CICR mechanism did not exhibit suramin/DIDS-induced Ca2+ release. Furthermore, we show that the suramin-stimulated Ca2+ release is regulated by Ca2+ and CaM in a similar way as the previously described CICR mechanism. The pharmacological characterization of the suramin/DIDS-induced Ca2+ release further confirms its properties as a novel CaM-regulated Ca2+-release mechanism. We also investigated the effects of disulfonated stilbene derivatives on IP3-induced Ca2+ release and found, in contrast to the effect on CICR, a strong inhibition by DIDS and 4'-acetoamido-4'-isothiocyanostilbene-2',2'-disulfonic acid.

Abstract
Calcium handling in pancreatic beta-cells is important for intracellular signaling, the control of electrical activity, and insulin secretion. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a key organelle involved in the storage and release of intracellular Ca2+. Using mathematical modeling, we analyze the filtering properties of the ER and clarify the dual role that it plays as both a Ca2+ source and a Ca2+ sink. We demonstrate that recent time-dependent data on the free Ca2+ concentration in pancreatic islets and beta-cell clusters can be explained with a model that uses a passive ER that takes up Ca2+ when the cell is depolarized and the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration is elevated, and releases Ca2+ when the cell is repolarized and the cytosolic Ca2+ is at a lower concentration. We find that Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release is not necessary to explain the data, and indeed the model is inconsistent with the data if Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release is a dominating factor. Finally, we show that a three-compartment model that includes a subspace compartment between the ER and the plasma membrane provides the best agreement with the experimental Ca2+ data.

Abstract
Hormones, such as glucagon and glucagon-like peptide-1, potently amplify nutrient stimulated insulin secretion by raising cAMP. We have studied how cAMP affects Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release (CICR) in pancreatic beta-cells from mice and rats and the role of CICR in secretion. CICR was observed as pronounced Ca(2+) spikes on top of glucose- or depolarization-dependent rise of the cytoplasmic Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)). cAMP-elevating agents strongly promoted CICR. This effect involved sensitization of the receptors underlying CICR, because many cells exhibited the characteristic Ca(2+) spiking at low or even in the absence of depolarization-dependent elevation of [Ca(2+)](i). The cAMP effect was mimicked by a specific activator of protein kinase A in cells unresponsive to activators of cAMP-regulated guanine nucleotide exchange factor. Ryanodine pretreatment, which abolishes CICR mediated by ryanodine receptors, did not prevent CICR. Moreover, a high concentration of caffeine, known to activate ryanodine receptors independently of Ca(2+), failed to mobilize intracellular Ca(2+). On the contrary, a high caffeine concentration abolished CICR by interfering with inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP(3)Rs). Therefore, the cell-permeable IP(3)R antagonist 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate blocked the cAMP-promoted CICR. Individual CICR events in pancreatic beta-cells were followed by [Ca(2+)](i) spikes in neighboring human erythroleukemia cells, used to report secretory events in the beta-cells. The results indicate that protein kinase A-mediated promotion of CICR via IP(3)Rs is part of the mechanism by which cAMP amplifies insulin release.
