Abstract
The clinical management of severe COVID-19 cases is not yet well resolved. Therefore, it is important to identify and characterize cell signaling pathways involved in virus pathogenesis that can be targeted therapeutically. Envelope (E) protein is a structural protein of the virus, which is known to be highly expressed in the infected host cell and is a key virulence factor; however, its role is poorly characterized. The E protein is a single-pass transmembrane protein that can assemble into a pentamer forming a viroporin, perturbing Ca2+ homeostasis. Because it is structurally similar to regulins such as, for example, phospholamban, that regulate the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPases (SERCA), we investigated whether the SARS-CoV-2 E protein affects the SERCA system as an exoregulin. Using FRET experiments we demonstrate that E protein can form oligomers with regulins, and thus can alter the monomer/multimer regulin ratio and consequently influence their interactions with SERCAs. We also confirm that a direct interaction between E protein and SERCA2b results in a decrease in SERCA-mediated ER Ca2+ reload. Structural modeling of the complexes indicates an overlapping interaction site for E protein and endogenous regulins. Our results reveal novel links in the host-virus interaction network that play an important role in viral pathogenesis and may provide a new therapeutic target for managing severe inflammatory responses induced by SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
The Ca2+ ion is a universal second messenger involved in many vital physiological functions including cell migration and development. To fulfil these tasks the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration is tightly controlled, and this involves an intricate functional balance between a variety of channels and pumps of the Ca2+ signalling machinery. Among these proteins, plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPases (PMCAs) represent the major high-affinity Ca2+ extrusion systems in the cell membrane that are effective in maintaining free Ca2+ concentration at exceedingly low cytosolic levels, which is essential for normal cell function. An imbalance in Ca2+ signalling can have pathogenic consequences including cancer and metastasis. Recent studies have highlighted the role of PMCAs in cancer progression and have shown that a particular variant, PMCA4b, is downregulated in certain cancer types, causing delayed attenuation of the Ca2+ signal. It has also been shown that loss of PMCA4b leads to increased migration and metastasis of melanoma and gastric cancer cells. In contrast, an increased PMCA4 expression has been reported in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma that coincided with increased cell migration and shorter patient survival, suggesting distinct roles of PMCA4b in various tumour types and/or different stages of tumour development. The recently discovered interaction of PMCAs with basigin, an extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer, may provide further insights into our understanding of the specific roles of PMCA4b in tumour progression and cancer metastasis.

Abstract
Tumor diseases are unfortunately quick spreading, even though numerous studies are under way to improve early diagnosis and targeted treatments that take into account both the different characteristics associated with the various tumor types and the conditions of individual patients. In recent years, studies have focused on the role of ion channels in tumor development, as these proteins are involved in several cellular processes relevant to neoplastic transformation. Among all ion channels, many studies have focused on the superfamily of Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channels, which are non-selective cation channels mediating extracellular Ca2+ influx. In this review, we examined the role of different endothelial TRP channel isoforms in tumor vessel formation, a process that is essential in tumor growth and metastasis.

The ataxia-linked E1081Q mutation affects the sub-plasma membrane Ca 2+-microdomains by tuning PMCA3 activity. Cell Death Dis 2022; 13:855.

Abstract
Calcium concentration must be finely tuned in all eukaryotic cells to ensure the correct performance of its signalling function. Neuronal activity is exquisitely dependent on the control of Ca2+ homeostasis: its alterations ultimately play a pivotal role in the origin and progression of many neurodegenerative processes. A complex toolkit of Ca2+ pumps and exchangers maintains the fluctuation of cytosolic Ca2+ concentration within the appropriate threshold. Two ubiquitous (isoforms 1 and 4) and two neuronally enriched (isoforms 2 and 3) of the plasma membrane Ca2+ATPase (PMCA pump) selectively regulate cytosolic Ca2+ transients by shaping the sub-plasma membrane (PM) microdomains. In humans, genetic mutations in ATP2B1, ATP2B2 and ATP2B3 gene have been linked with hearing loss, cerebellar ataxia and global neurodevelopmental delay: all of them were found to impair pump activity. Here we report three additional mutations in ATP2B3 gene corresponding to E1081Q, R1133Q and R696H amino acids substitution, respectively. Among them, the novel missense mutation (E1081Q) immediately upstream the C-terminal calmodulin-binding domain (CaM-BD) of the PMCA3 protein was present in two patients originating from two distinct families. Our biochemical and molecular studies on PMCA3 E1081Q mutant have revealed a splicing variant-dependent effect of the mutation in shaping the sub-PM [Ca2+]. The E1081Q substitution in the full-length b variant abolished the capacity of the pump to reduce [Ca2+] in the sub-PM microdomain (in line with the previously described ataxia-related PMCA mutations negatively affecting Ca2+ pumping activity), while, surprisingly, its introduction in the truncated a variant selectively increased Ca2+ extrusion activity in the sub-PM Ca2+ microdomains. These results highlight the importance to set a precise threshold of [Ca2+] by fine-tuning the sub-PM microdomains and the different contribution of the PMCA splice variants in this regulation.

Abstract
Forming calcareous exoskeletons is crucial for the health and survival of calcifiers such as bivalves. However, the impacts of waterborne emergent pollutants on this important process remain largely unknown. In this study, the effects of two types of emergent pollutants, microplastics (MPs) and carbamazepine (CBZ), which are ubiquitously present in ocean environments, on shell formation were assessed in the thick-shell mussel (Mytilus coruscus) with a shell regeneration experiment. In addition, their impacts on the in vivo contents of ATP, Ca2+, carbonic anhydrase (CA), and bone morphogenetic protein receptor type-2 (BMPR2), the activity of phosphofructokinase (PFK) and Ca2+-ATPase, and the expression of shell-formation related genes were analyzed. The data collected demonstrated that shell regeneration after mechanical injury was significantly arrested by CBZ and/or MPs. Besides, all the physiological and molecular parameters investigated were markedly suppressed by these two pollutants. Furthermore, synergistic impacts on most of the parameters examined were observed between CBZ and MPs. Our results indicate that these two pollutants may disrupt shell formation by constraining the availability of raw materials and energy, inhibiting the formation of the organic shell matrix, and interfering with the regulation of crystallization, which may have far-reaching impacts on the health of marine calcifiers.

FUNCTION 2022; 3:zqac040.

Abstract
In many cell types, the rise in cytosolic Ca2+ due to opening of Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channels drives a plethora of responses, including secretion, motility, energy production, and gene expression. The amplitude and time course of the cytosolic Ca2+ rise is shaped by the rates of Ca2+ entry into and removal from the cytosol. However, an extended bulk Ca2+ rise is toxic to cells. Here, we show that the plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase (PMCA) pump plays a major role in preventing a prolonged cytosolic Ca2+ signal following CRAC channel activation. Ca2+ entry through CRAC channels leads to a sustained sub-plasmalemmal Ca2+ rise but bulk Ca2+ is kept low by the activity of PMCA4b. Despite the low cytosolic Ca2+, membrane permeability to Ca2+ is still elevated and Ca2+ continues to enter through CRAC channels. Ca2+-dependent NFAT activation, driven by Ca2+ nanodomains near the open channels, is maintained despite the return of bulk Ca2+ to near pre-stimulation levels. Our data reveal a central role for PMCA4b in determining the pattern of a functional Ca2+ signal and in sharpening local Ca2+ gradients near CRAC channels, whilst protecting cells from a toxic Ca2+ overload.

Abstract
The plasma membrane calcium ATPase (PMCA) extrudes calcium from the cytosol to the extracellular space to terminate calcium-dependent signaling. Although the distribution of PMCA is crucial for its function, the molecular mechanisms that regulate the localization of PMCA isoforms are not well understood. PLEKHA7 is implicated by genetic studies in hypertension and the regulation of calcium handling. PLEKHA7 recruits the small adapter protein PDZD11 to adherens junctions, and together they control the trafficking and localization of plasma membrane associated proteins, including the Menkes copper ATPase. Since PDZD11 binds to the C-terminal domain of b-isoforms of PMCA, PDZD11 and its interactor PLEKHA7 could control the localization and activity of PMCA. Here, we test this hypothesis using cultured cell model systems. We show using immunofluorescence microscopy and a surface biotinylation assay that KO of either PLEKHA7 or PDZD11 in mouse kidney collecting duct epithelial cells results in increased accumulation of endogenous PMCA at lateral cell–cell contacts and PDZ-dependent ectopic apical localization of exogenous PMCA4x/b isoform. In HeLa cells, coexpression of PDZD11 reduces membrane accumulation of overexpressed PMCA4x/b, and analysis of cytosolic calcium transients shows that PDZD11 counteracts calcium extrusion activity of overexpressed PMCA4x/b, but not PMCA4x/a, which lacks the PDZ-binding motif. Moreover, KO of PDZD11 in either endothelial (bEnd.3) or epithelial (mouse kidney collecting duct) cells increases the rate of calcium extrusion. Collectively, these results suggest that the PLEKHA7–PDZD11 complex modulates calcium homeostasis by regulating the localization of PMCA.

Early Developmental PMCA2b Expression Protects From Ketamine-Induced Apoptosis and GABA Impairments in Differentiating Hippocampal Progenitor Cells. Front Cell Neurosci 2022; 16:890827.

Abstract
PMCA2 is not expressed until the late embryonic state when the control of subtle Ca2+ fluxes becomes important for neuronal specialization. During this period, immature neurons are especially vulnerable to degenerative insults induced by the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor blocker, ketamine. As H19-7 hippocampal progenitor cells isolated from E17 do not express the PMCA2 isoform, they constitute a valuable model for studying its role in neuronal development. In this study, we demonstrated that heterologous expression of PMCA2b enhanced the differentiation of H19-7 cells and protected from ketamine-induced death. PMCA2b did not affect resting [Ca2+]c in the presence or absence of ketamine and had no effect on the rate of Ca2+ clearance following membrane depolarization in the presence of the drug. The upregulation of endogenous PMCA1 demonstrated in response to PMCA2b expression as well as ketamine-induced PMCA4 depletion were indifferent to the rate of Ca2+ clearance in the presence of ketamine. Yet, co-expression of PMCA4b and PMCA2b was able to partially restore Ca2+ extrusion diminished by ketamine. The profiling of NMDA receptor expression showed upregulation of the NMDAR1 subunit in PMCA2b-expressing cells and increased co-immunoprecipitation of both proteins following ketamine treatment. Further microarray screening demonstrated a significant influence of PMCA2b on GABA signaling in differentiating progenitor cells, manifested by the unique regulation of several genes key to the GABAergic transmission. The overall activity of glutamate decarboxylase remained unchanged, but Ca2+-induced GABA release was inhibited in the presence of ketamine. Interestingly, PMCA2b expression was able to reverse this effect. The mechanism of GABA secretion normalization in the presence of ketamine may involve PMCA2b-mediated inhibition of GABA transaminase, thus shifting GABA utilization from energetic purposes to neurosecretion. In this study, we show for the first time that developmentally controlled PMCA expression may dictate the pattern of differentiation of hippocampal progenitor cells. Moreover, the appearance of PMCA2 early in development has long-standing consequences for GABA metabolism with yet an unpredictable influence on GABAergic neurotransmission during later stages of brain maturation. In contrast, the presence of PMCA2b seems to be protective for differentiating progenitor cells from ketamine-induced apoptotic death.

Abstract
Simple Summary Earlier we demonstrated that the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump PMCA4b inhibits migration and metastatic activity of BRAF mutant melanoma cells, however, the exact mechanism has not been fully understood. Here we demonstrate that PMCA4b acted through actin cytoskeleton remodeling in generating a low migratory melanoma cell phenotype resulting in increased cell–cell connections, lamellipodia and stress fiber formation. Both proper trafficking and calcium transporting activity of the pump were essential to complete these tasks indicating that controlling Ca2+ concentration levels at specific plasma membrane locations such as the cell front played a role. Our findings suggest that PMCA4b downregulation is likely one of the mechanisms that leads to the perturbed cancer cell cytoskeleton organization resulting in enhanced melanoma cell migration and metastasis. Abstract We demonstrated that the plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase PMCA4b inhibits migration and metastatic activity of BRAF mutant melanoma cells. Actin dynamics are essential for cells to move, invade and metastasize, therefore, we hypothesized that PMCA4b affected cell migration through remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton. We found that expression of PMCA4b in A375 BRAF mutant melanoma cells induced a profound change in cell shape, cell culture morphology, and displayed a polarized migratory character. Along with these changes the cells became more rounded with increased cell–cell connections, lamellipodia and stress fiber formation. Silencing PMCA4b in MCF-7 breast cancer cells had a similar effect, resulting in a dramatic loss of stress fibers. In addition, the PMCA4b expressing A375 cells maintained front-to-rear Ca2+ concentration gradient with the actin severing protein cofilin localizing to the lamellipodia, and preserved the integrity of the actin cytoskeleton from a destructive Ca2+ overload. We showed that both PMCA4b activity and trafficking were essential for the observed morphology and motility changes. In conclusion, our data suggest that PMCA4b plays a critical role in adopting front-to-rear polarity in a normally spindle-shaped cell type through F-actin rearrangement resulting in a less aggressive melanoma cell phenotype.

Abstract
Flavonoids are natural compounds responsible for the health benefits of green tea. Some of the flavonoids present in green tea are catechins, among which are: epigallocatechin, epicatechin-3-gallate, epicatechin, catechin and epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). The latter was found to induce apoptosis, reduce reactive oxygen species, in some conditions though in others it acts as an oxidizing agent, induce cell cycle arrest, and inhibit carcinogenesis. EGCG also was found to be involved in calcium (Ca2+) homeostasis in excitable and in non-excitable cells. In this study, we investigate the effect of catechins on plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase (PMCA), which is one of the main mechanisms that extrude Ca2+ out of the cell. Our studies comprised experiments on the isolated PMCA and on cells overexpressing the pump. Among catechins that inhibited PMCA activity, the most potent inhibitor was EGCG. EGCG inhibited PMCA activity in a reversible way favoring E1P conformation. EGCG inhibition also occurred in the presence of calmodulin, the main pump activator. Finally, the effect of EGCG on PMCA activity was studied in human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293T) that transiently overexpress hPMCA4. Results show that EGCG inhibited PMCA activity in HEK293T cells, suggesting that the effects observed on isolated PMCA occur in living cells.

Transmembrane Prolyl 4-Hydroxylase is a Novel Regulator of Calcium Signaling in Astrocytes. eNeuro 2021; 8:ENEURO.0253-20.2020. [PMID: 33298456 PMCID: PMC7814479 DOI: 10.1523/eneuro.0253-20.2020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2020] [Revised: 11/09/2020] [Accepted: 11/27/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Prolyl 4-hydroxylases (P4Hs) have vital roles in regulating collagen synthesis and hypoxia response. A transmembrane P4H (P4H-TM) is a recently identified member of the family. Biallelic loss of function P4H-TM mutations cause a severe autosomal recessive intellectual disability syndrome in humans, but functions of P4H-TM are essentially unknown at cellular level. Our microarray data on P4h-tm -/- mouse cortexes where P4H-TM is abundantly expressed indicated expression changes in genes involved in calcium signaling and expression of several calcium sequestering ATPases was upregulated in P4h-tm -/- primary mouse astrocytes. Cytosolic and intraorganellar calcium imaging of P4h-tm -/- cells revealed that receptor-operated calcium entry (ROCE) and store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) and calcium re-uptake by mitochondria were compromised. HIF1, but not HIF2, was found to be a key mediator of the P4H-TM effect on calcium signaling. Furthermore, total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) imaging showed that calcium agonist-induced gliotransmission was attenuated in P4h-tm -/- astrocytes. This phenotype was accompanied by redistribution of mitochondria from distal processes to central parts of the cell body and decreased intracellular ATP content. Our data show that P4H-TM is a novel regulator of calcium dynamics and gliotransmission.

P38 MAPK Promotes Migration and Metastatic Activity of BRAF Mutant Melanoma Cells by Inducing Degradation of PMCA4b. Cells 2020; 9:cells9051209.

Abstract
Metastatic melanoma is the most aggressive type of skin cancer. Previously, we identified the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump isoform 4b (PMCA4b or ATP2B4) as a putative metastasis suppressor in BRAF mutant melanoma cells. Metastasis suppressors are often downregulated in cancer, therefore, it is important to identify the pathways involved in their degradation. Here, we studied the role of p38 MAPK in PMCA4b degradation and its effect on melanoma metastasis. We found that activation of p38 MAPK induces internalization and subsequent degradation of PMCA4b through the endo/lysosomal system that contributes to the low PMCA4b steady-state protein level of BRAF mutant melanoma cells. Moreover, BRAF wild type cell models including a doxycycline-inducible HEK cell system revealed that p38 MAPK is a universal modulator of PMCA4b endocytosis. Inhibition of the p38 MAPK pathway markedly reduced migration, colony formation and metastatic activity of BRAF mutant cells in vitro partially through an increase in PMCA4b and a decrease in β4 integrin abundance. In conclusion, our data suggest that the p38 MAPK pathway plays a key role in PMCA4b degradation and inhibition of this pathway—by increasing the stability of PMCA4b—may provide a potential therapeutic target for inhibition of melanoma progression and metastasis.

Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC) are often associated with high relapse rates, despite treatment with chemotherapy agents such as doxorubicin. A better understanding of the signaling and molecular changes associated with doxorubicin may provide novel insights into strategies to enhance treatment efficacy. Calcium signaling is involved in many pathways influencing the efficacy of chemotherapy agents such as proliferation and cell death. However, there are a limited number of studies exploring the effect of doxorubicin on calcium signaling in TNBC. In this study, MDA-MB-231 triple-negative, basal breast cancer cells stably expressing the genetically-encoded calcium indicator GCaMP6m (GCaMP6m-MDA-MB-231) were used to define alterations in calcium signaling. The effects of doxorubicin in GCaMP6m-MDA-MB-231 cells were determined using live cell imaging and fluorescence microscopy. Changes in mRNA levels of specific calcium regulating proteins as a result of doxorubicin treatment were also assessed using real time qPCR. Doxorubicin (1 μM) produced alterations in intracellular calcium signaling, including enhancing the sensitivity of MDA-MB-231 cells to ATP stimulation and prolonging the recovery time after store-operated calcium entry. Upregulation in mRNA levels of ORAI1, TRPC1, SERCA1, IP3R2 and PMCA2 with doxorubicin 1 μM treatment was also observed. Doxorubicin treatment is associated with specific remodeling in calcium signaling in MDA-MB-231 cells, with associated changes in mRNA levels of specific calcium-regulating proteins.

Endothelial Ca 2+ Signaling, Angiogenesis and Vasculogenesis: just What It Takes to Make a Blood Vessel. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20163962.

Abstract
It has long been known that endothelial Ca2+ signals drive angiogenesis by recruiting multiple Ca2+-sensitive decoders in response to pro-angiogenic cues, such as vascular endothelial growth factor, basic fibroblast growth factor, stromal derived factor-1α and angiopoietins. Recently, it was shown that intracellular Ca2+ signaling also drives vasculogenesis by stimulation proliferation, tube formation and neovessel formation in endothelial progenitor cells. Herein, we survey how growth factors, chemokines and angiogenic modulators use endothelial Ca2+ signaling to regulate angiogenesis and vasculogenesis. The endothelial Ca2+ response to pro-angiogenic cues may adopt different waveforms, ranging from Ca2+ transients or biphasic Ca2+ signals to repetitive Ca2+ oscillations, and is mainly driven by endogenous Ca2+ release through inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors and by store-operated Ca2+ entry through Orai1 channels. Lysosomal Ca2+ release through nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate-gated two-pore channels is, however, emerging as a crucial pro-angiogenic pathway, which sustains intracellular Ca2+ mobilization. Understanding how endothelial Ca2+ signaling regulates angiogenesis and vasculogenesis could shed light on alternative strategies to induce therapeutic angiogenesis or interfere with the aberrant vascularization featuring cancer and intraocular disorders.

Abstract
Research on flavonoids from plant sources has recently sparked increasing interest because of their beneficial health properties. Different studies have shown that flavonoids change the intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis linked to alterations in the function of mitochondria, Ca2+ channels and Ca2+ pumps. These findings hint at plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase (PMCA) involvement, as it transports Ca2+ actively to the extracellular medium coupled to ATP hydrolysis, thus maintaining ion cellular homeostasis. The present study aims to investigate the effect of several natural flavonoids on PMCA both in isolated protein systems and in living cells, and to establish the relationship between flavonoid structure and inhibitory activity on PMCA. Our results show that natural flavonoids inhibited purified and membranous PMCA with different effectiveness: quercetin and gossypin were the most potent and their inhibition mechanisms seem to be different, as quercetin does not prevent ATP binding whereas gossypin does. Moreover, PMCA activity was inhibited in human embryonic kidney cells which transiently overexpress PMCA, suggesting that the effects observed on isolated systems could occur in a complex structure like a living cell. In conclusion, this work reveals a novel molecular mechanism through which flavonoids inhibit PMCA, which leads to Ca2+ homeostasis and signaling alterations in the cell.

Expression of calcium pumps is differentially regulated by histone deacetylase inhibitors and estrogen receptor alpha in breast cancer cells. BMC Cancer 2018; 18:1029.

Abstract
Background Remodeling of Ca2+ signaling is an important step in cancer progression, and altered expression of members of the Ca2+ signaling toolkit including the plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPases (PMCA proteins encoded by ATP2B genes) is common in tumors. Methods In this study PMCAs were examined in breast cancer datasets and in a variety of breast cancer cell lines representing different subtypes. We investigated how estrogen receptor alpha (ER-α) and histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors regulate the expression of these pumps. Results Three distinct datasets displayed significantly lower ATP2B4 mRNA expression in invasive breast cancer tissue samples compared to normal breast tissue, whereas the expression of ATP2B1 and ATP2B2 was not altered. Studying the protein expression profiles of Ca2+ pumps in a variety of breast cancer cell lines revealed low PMCA4b expression in the ER-α positive cells, and its marked upregulation upon HDAC inhibitor treatments. PMCA4b expression was also positively regulated by the ER-α pathway in MCF-7 cells that led to enhanced Ca2+ extrusion capacity in response to 17β-estradiol (E2) treatment. E2-induced PMCA4b expression was further augmented by HDAC inhibitors. Surprisingly, E2 did not affect the expression of PMCA4b in other ER-α positive cells ZR-75-1, T-47D and BT-474. These findings were in good accordance with ChIP-seq data analysis that revealed an ER-α binding site in the ATP2B4 gene in MCF-7 cells but not in other ER-α positive tumor cells. In the triple negative cells PMCA4b expression was relatively high, and the effect of HDAC inhibitor treatment was less pronounced as compared to that of the ER-α positive cells. Although, the expression of PMCA4b was relatively high in the triple negative cells, a fraction of the protein was found in intracellular compartments that could interfere with the cellular function of the protein. Conclusions Our results suggest that the expression of Ca2+ pumps is highly regulated in breast cancer cells in a subtype specific manner. Our results suggest that hormonal imbalances, epigenetic modifications and impaired protein trafficking could interfere with the expression and cellular function of PMCA4b in the course of breast cancer progression.

Abstract
This study was to probe the effects of bacterial cellulose (BC) on diphenoxylate-induced constipation in rats. Administration with BC at 500 mg/kg of body weight in diphenoxylate-induced constipation rats distinctly improved the carmine propulsion rate (83.5 ± 5.2%), shortened the defecating time of the first red feces (249.0 ± 23.3 min), and increased the weight of carmine red feces within 5 h (2.7 ± 1.3 g). The levels of aquaporins (AQP-2, AQP-3, and AQP-4) and inhibitory neurotransmitters (nitric oxide, nitric oxide synthetase, vasoactive intestinal peptide, and arginine vasopressin) in the BC-treated groups reduced by 31.9-40.0% ( p < 0.01) and 21.1-67.7% ( p < 0.01) compared to those in the constipation group, respectively. However, the secretion of excitability neurotransmitters (substance P and motilin) in the BC-treated groups was increased by 20.0-39.9% ( p < 0.01). The activities of ATPases in the colon of constipation rats were significantly weakened by BC administration ( p < 0.01). Histological morphology of the colon showed that BC supplementation could effectively increase the length of villus cells and the thickness of colonic mucosa and muscle ( p < 0.01). Moreover, BC supplementation could protect colonic smooth muscle cells against apoptosis. All of the findings suggest that BC supplementation effectively relieves constipation in rats and BC would be used as a great promising dietary fiber for alleviating constipation.

Abstract
The fine regulation of intracellular calcium is fundamental for all eukaryotic cells. In neurons, Ca2+ oscillations govern the synaptic development, the release of neurotransmitters and the expression of several genes. Alterations of Ca2+ homeostasis were found to play a pivotal role in neurodegenerative progression. The maintenance of proper Ca2+ signaling in neurons demands the continuous activity of Ca2+ pumps and exchangers to guarantee physiological cytosolic concentration of the cation. The plasma membrane Ca2+ATPases (PMCA pumps) play a key role in the regulation of Ca2+ handling in selected sub-plasma membrane microdomains. Among the four basic PMCA pump isoforms existing in mammals, isoforms 2 and 3 are particularly enriched in the nervous system. In humans, genetic mutations in the PMCA2 gene in association with cadherin 23 mutations have been linked to hearing loss phenotypes, while those occurring in the PMCA3 gene were associated with X-linked congenital cerebellar ataxias. Here we describe a novel missense mutation (V1143F) in the calmodulin binding domain (CaM-BD) of the PMCA2 protein. The mutant pump was present in a patient showing congenital cerebellar ataxia but no overt signs of deafness, in line with the absence of mutations in the cadherin 23 gene. Biochemical and molecular dynamics studies on the mutated PMCA2 have revealed that the V1143F substitution alters the binding of calmodulin to the CaM-BD leading to impaired Ca2+ ejection.

Abstract
Intracellular Ca2+ signaling drives angiogenesis and vasculogenesis by stimulating proliferation, migration, and tube formation in both vascular endothelial cells and endothelial colony forming cells (ECFCs), which represent the only endothelial precursor truly belonging to the endothelial phenotype. In addition, local Ca2+ signals at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mitochondria interface regulate endothelial cell fate by stimulating survival or apoptosis depending on the extent of the mitochondrial Ca2+ increase. The present article aims at describing how remodeling of the endothelial Ca2+ toolkit contributes to establish intrinsic or acquired resistance to standard anti-cancer therapies. The endothelial Ca2+ toolkit undergoes a major alteration in tumor endothelial cells and tumor-associated ECFCs. These include changes in TRPV4 expression and increase in the expression of P2X7 receptors, Piezo2, Stim1, Orai1, TRPC1, TRPC5, Connexin 40 and dysregulation of the ER Ca2+ handling machinery. Additionally, remodeling of the endothelial Ca2+ toolkit could involve nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, gasotransmitters-gated channels, two-pore channels and Na⁺/H⁺ exchanger. Targeting the endothelial Ca2+ toolkit could represent an alternative adjuvant therapy to circumvent patients' resistance to current anti-cancer treatments.

Abstract
Associations between the cortical cytoskeleton and the components of the plasma membrane are no longer considered to be merely of structural and mechanical nature but are nowadays recognized as dynamic interactions that modulate a plethora of cellular responses. Reorganization of actin filaments upon diverse stimuli - among which is the rise in cytosolic Ca2+ - is involved in cell motility and adhesion, phagocytosis, cytokinesis, and secretion. Actin dynamics also participates in the regulation of ion transport across the membranes where it not only plays a key role in the delivery and stabilization of channels and transporters in the plasma membrane but also in the regulation of their activity. The recently described functional interaction between actin and the Plasma Membrane Ca2+-ATPase (PMCA) represents a novel regulatory mechanism of the pump at the time that unveils a new pathway by which the cortical actin cytoskeleton participates in the regulation of cytosolic Ca2+ homeostasis. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge on the interaction between the cortical actin cytoskeleton and the PMCA and discuss the possible mechanisms that may explain the pump's modulation.

Abstract
The outcome of T cell activation is determined by mechanisms that balance Ca2+ influx and clearance. Here we report that murine CD4 T cells lacking Neuroplastin (Nptn -/-), an immunoglobulin superfamily protein, display elevated cytosolic Ca2+ and impaired post-stimulation Ca2+ clearance, along with increased nuclear levels of NFAT transcription factor and enhanced T cell receptor-induced cytokine production. On the molecular level, we identified plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPases (PMCAs) as the main interaction partners of Neuroplastin. PMCA levels were reduced by over 70% in Nptn -/- T cells, suggesting an explanation for altered Ca2+ handling. Supporting this, Ca2+ extrusion was impaired while Ca2+ levels in internal stores were increased. T cells heterozygous for PMCA1 mimicked the phenotype of Nptn -/- T cells. Consistent with sustained Ca2+ levels, differentiation of Nptn -/- T helper cells was biased towards the Th1 versus Th2 subset. Our study thus establishes Neuroplastin-PMCA modules as important regulators of T cell activation.

Abstract
AIMS Ischaemic cardiovascular disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite promising results from pre-clinical animal models, VEGF-based strategies for therapeutic angiogenesis have yet to achieve successful reperfusion of ischaemic tissues in patients. Failure to restore efficient VEGF activity in the ischaemic organ remains a major problem in current pro-angiogenic therapeutic approaches. Plasma membrane calcium ATPase 4 (PMCA4) negatively regulates VEGF-activated angiogenesis via inhibition of the calcineurin/NFAT signalling pathway. PMCA4 activity is inhibited by the small molecule aurintricarboxylic acid (ATA). We hypothesize that inhibition of PMCA4 with ATA might enhance VEGF-induced angiogenesis. METHODS AND RESULTS We show that inhibition of PMCA4 with ATA in endothelial cells triggers a marked increase in VEGF-activated calcineurin/NFAT signalling that translates into a strong increase in endothelial cell motility and blood vessel formation. ATA enhances VEGF-induced calcineurin signalling by disrupting the interaction between PMCA4 and calcineurin at the endothelial-cell membrane. ATA concentrations at the nanomolar range, that efficiently inhibit PMCA4, had no deleterious effect on endothelial-cell viability or zebrafish embryonic development. However, high ATA concentrations at the micromolar level impaired endothelial cell viability and tubular morphogenesis, and were associated with toxicity in zebrafish embryos. In mice undergoing experimentally-induced hindlimb ischaemia, ATA treatment significantly increased the reperfusion of post-ischaemic limbs. CONCLUSIONS Our study provides evidence for the therapeutic potential of targeting PMCA4 to improve VEGF-based pro-angiogenic interventions. This goal will require the development of refined, highly selective versions of ATA, or the identification of novel PMCA4 inhibitors.

Abstract
The mineralocorticoid aldosterone is a major factor controlling the salt and water balance and thereby also the arterial blood pressure. Accordingly, primary aldosteronism (PA) characterized by an inappropriately high aldosterone secretion is the most common form of secondary hypertension. The physiological stimulation of aldosterone synthesis in adrenocortical glomerulosa cells by angiotensin II and an increased plasma K+ concentration depends on a membrane depolarization and an increase in the cytosolic Ca2+ activity. Recurrent gain-of-function mutations of ion channels and transporters have been identified in a majority of cases of aldosterone-producing adenomas and in familial forms of PA. In this review, the physiological role of these genes in the regulation of aldosterone synthesis and the altered function of the mutant proteins as well are described. The specific changes of the membrane potential and the cellular ion homoeostasis in adrenal cells expressing the different mutants are compared, and their impact on autonomous aldosterone production and proliferation is discussed.

Abstract
Several new therapeutic options emerged recently to treat metastatic melanoma; however, the high frequency of intrinsic and acquired resistance among patients shows a need for new therapeutic options. Previously, we identified the plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase 4b (PMCA4b) as a metastasis suppressor in BRAF-mutant melanomas and found that mutant BRAF inhibition increased the expression of the pump, which then inhibited the migratory and metastatic capability of the cells. Earlier it was also demonstrated that histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACis) upregulated PMCA4b expression in gastric, colon, and breast cancer cells. In this study, we treated one BRAF wild-type and two BRAF-mutant melanoma cell lines with the HDACis, SAHA and valproic acid, either alone, or in combination with the BRAF inhibitor, vemurafenib. We found that HDACi treatment strongly increased the expression of PMCA4b in all cell lines irrespective of their BRAF mutational status, and this effect was independent of ERK activity. Furthermore, HDAC inhibition also enhanced the abundance of the housekeeping isoform PMCA1. Combination of HDACis with vemurafenib, however, did not have any additive effects on either PMCA isoform. We demonstrated that the HDACi-induced increase in PMCA abundance was coupled to an enhanced [Ca2+]i clearance rate and also strongly inhibited both the random and directional movements of A375 cells. The primary role of PMCA4b in these characteristic changes was demonstrated by treatment with the PMCA4-specific inhibitor, caloxin 1c2, which was able to restore the slower Ca2+ clearance rate and higher motility of the cells. While HDAC treatment inhibited cell motility, it decreased only modestly the ratio of proliferative cells and cell viability. Our results show that in melanoma cells the expression of both PMCA4b and PMCA1 is under epigenetic control and the elevation of PMCA4b expression either by HDACi treatment or by the decreased activation of the BRAF-MEK-ERK pathway can inhibit the migratory capacity of the highly motile A375 cells.

Abstract
Although a variety of factors underlying diapause have been identified in arthropods and other organisms, the molecular mechanisms regulating diapause are still largely unknown. Here, to better understand this process, we examined diapause-associated genes in the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, by comparing the transcriptomes and proteomes of early diapausing and reproductive adult females. Amongst genes underlying diapause revealed by the transcriptomic and proteomic data sets, we described the noticeable change in Ca2+ -associated genes, including 65 Ca2+ -binding protein genes and 23 Ca2+ transporter genes, indicating that Ca2+ signalling has a substantial role in diapause regulation. Other interesting changes in diapause included up-regulation of (1) glutamate receptors that may be involved in synaptic plasticity changes, (2) genes involved in cytoskeletal reorganization including genes encoding each of the components of thick and thin filaments, tubulin and members of integrin signalling and (3) genes involved in anaerobic energy metabolism, which reflects a shift to anaerobic energy metabolism in early diapausing mites.

Abstract
The plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase (PMCA pump) is a member of the superfamily of P-type pumps. It has 10 transmembrane helices and 2 cytosolic loops, one of which contains the catalytic center. Its most distinctive feature is a C-terminal tail that contains most of the regulatory sites including that for calmodulin. The pump is also regulated by acidic phospholipids, kinases, a dimerization process, and numerous protein interactors. In mammals, four genes code for the four basic isoforms. Isoform complexity is increased by alternative splicing of primary transcripts. Pumps 2 and 3 are expressed preferentially in the nervous system. The pumps coexist with more powerful systems that clear Ca2+ from the bulk cytosol: their role is thus the regulation of Ca2+ in selected subplasma membrane microdomains, where a number of important Ca2+-dependent enzymes interact with them. Malfunctions of the pump lead to disease phenotypes that affect the nervous system preferentially.

Abstract
Many viruses modulate calcium (Ca2+) signaling to create a cellular environment that is more permissive to viral replication, but for most viruses that regulate Ca2+ signaling, the mechanism underlying this regulation is not well understood. The hepatitis B virus (HBV) HBx protein modulates cytosolic Ca2+ levels to stimulate HBV replication in some liver cell lines. A chronic HBV infection is associated with life-threatening liver diseases, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and HBx modulation of cytosolic Ca2+ levels could have an important role in HBV pathogenesis. Whether HBx affects cytosolic Ca2+ in a normal hepatocyte, the natural site of an HBV infection, has not been addressed. Here, we report that HBx alters cytosolic Ca2+ signaling in cultured primary hepatocytes. We used single cell Ca2+ imaging of cultured primary rat hepatocytes to demonstrate that HBx elevates the cytosolic Ca2+ level in hepatocytes following an IP3-linked Ca2+ response; HBx effects were similar when expressed alone or in the context of replicating HBV. HBx elevation of the cytosolic Ca2+ level required extracellular Ca2+ influx and store-operated Ca2+ (SOC) entry and stimulated HBV replication in hepatocytes. We used both targeted RT-qPCR and transcriptome-wide RNAseq analyses to compare levels of SOC channel components and other Ca2+ signaling regulators in HBV-expressing and control hepatocytes and show that the transcript levels of these various proteins are not affected by HBV. We also show that HBx regulation of SOC-regulated Ca2+ accumulation is likely the consequence of HBV modulation of a SOC channel regulatory mechanism. In support of this, we link HBx enhancement of SOC-regulated Ca2+ accumulation to Ca2+ uptake by mitochondria and demonstrate that HBx stimulates mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake in primary hepatocytes. The results of our study may provide insights into viral mechanisms that affect Ca2+ signaling to regulate viral replication and virus-associated diseases.

Abstract
Brain aging is characterized by progressive loss of plasma membrane calcium pump (PMCA) and its activator - calmodulin (CaM), but the mechanism of this phenomenon remains unresolved. CaM encoded by three genes Calm1, Calm2, Calm3, works to translate Ca2+ signal into changes in frequently opposite cellular activities. This unique function allows CaM to affect gene expression via stimulation of calcineurin (CaN) and its downstream target - nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT) and to terminate Ca2+ signal by stimulation of its extrusion. PMCA, which exists in four isoforms PMCA1-4, may in turn shape the pattern of Ca2+ transients and control CaN activity by its direct binding. Therefore, the interplay between PMCA, CaM and CaN/NFAT is highly plausible. To verify that, we used differentiated PC12 cells with reduced expression of PMCA2 or PMCA3 to mimic the potential changes in aged brain. Manipulation in PMCAs level decreased CaM protein in PMCA2 or PMCA3-reduced lines that was accompanied by down-regulation of Calm1 and Calm2 in both lines, but Calm3 only in PMCA2-reduced cells. Further studies showed substantially higher NFATc2 nuclear accumulation and increased NFAT transcriptional activity. Blocking of CaN/NFAT signalling resulted in almost full CaM recovery, mainly due to up-regulation of Calm2 and Calm3 genes. Moreover, higher occupancy of Calm2 and Calm3 promoters by NFATc2 and increased expression of these genes in response to NFATc2 silencing were demonstrated in PMCA2 and PMCA3-reduced lines. Our results indicate that decrease in CaM level in response to PMCAs downregulation can be driven by CaN/NFAT pathway.

Abstract
Ca2+ signaling is ubiquitous and mediates various cellular functions encoded in its spatial, temporal, and amplitude features. Here, we investigate the role of store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) in regulating the temporal dynamics of Ca2+ signals in Xenopus oocytes, which can be either oscillatory or tonic. Oscillatory Ca2+ release from intracellular stores is typically observed at physiological agonist concentration. When Ca2+ release leads to Ca2+ store depletion, this triggers the activation of SOCE that translates into a low-amplitude tonic Ca2+ signal. SOCE has also been implicated in fueling Ca2+ oscillations when activated at low levels. Here, we show that sustained SOCE activation in the presence of IP3 to gate IP3 receptors (IP3 R) results in a pump-leak steady state across the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane that inhibits Ca2+ oscillations and produces a tonic Ca2+ signal. Tonic signaling downstream of SOCE activation relies on focal Ca2+ entry through SOCE ER-plasma membrane (PM) junctions, Ca2+ uptake into the ER, followed by release through open IP3 Rs at distant sites, a process we refer to as "Ca2+ teleporting." Therefore, sustained SOCE activation in the presence of an IP3 -dependent "leak" pathway at the ER membrane results in a switch from oscillatory to tonic Ca2+ signaling. J. Cell.

Abstract
Activated macrophages are the primary sources of IL-12, a key cytokine bridging innate and adaptive immunity. However, macrophages produce low amounts of IL-12 upon stimulation and the underlying regulatory mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we found a new calcium-dependent mechanism that controlled IL-12 production in LPS-treated murine macrophages. First, LPS was demonstrated to induce extracellular calcium entry in murine peritoneal macrophages and inhibition of calcium influx resulted in marked enhancement in IL-12 production. Then, withdrawal of extracellular calcium was found to suppress CaMKKβ and AMPK activation triggered by LPS while chemical inhibition or genetic knockdown of these two kinases augmented LPS induced IL-12 production. AMPK activation increased the NAD+/NADH ratio and activated Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), a NAD+-dependent deacetylating enzyme and negative regulator of inflammation. Chemical inhibitor or siRNA of SIRT1 enhanced IL-12 release while its agonist suppressed IL-12 production. Finally, it was found that SIRT1 selectively affected the transcriptional activity of NF-κB which thereby inhibited IL-12 production. Overall, our study demonstrates a new role of transmembrane calcium mobilization in immunity modulation such that inhibition of calcium influx leads to impaired activation of CaMKKβ-AMPK-SIRT1 signaling pathway which lifts restriction on NF-κB activation and results in enhanced IL-12 production.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), as a reactive oxygen species, is widely generated in many biological systems. It has been considered as an important signaling molecule that mediates various physiological and biochemical processes in plants. Normal metabolism in plant cells results in H2O2 generation, from a variety of sources. Also, it is now clear that nitric oxide (NO) and calcium (Ca(2+)) function as signaling molecules in plants. Both H2O2 and NO are involved in plant development and abiotic responses. A wide range of evidences suggest that NO could be generated under similar stress conditions and with similar kinetics as H2O2. The interplay between H2O2 and NO has important functional implications to modulate transduction processes in plants. Moreover, close interaction also exists between H2O2 and Ca(2+) in response to development and abiotic stresses in plants. Cellular responses to H2O2 and Ca(2+) signaling systems are complex. There is quite a bit of interaction between H2O2 and Ca(2+) signaling in responses to several stimuli. This review aims to introduce these evidences in our understanding of the crosstalk among H2O2, NO, and Ca(2+) signaling which regulates plant growth and development, and other cellular and physiological responses to abiotic stresses.

Multifaceted plasma membrane Ca(2+) pumps: From structure to intracellular Ca(2+) handling and cancer. BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA-MOLECULAR CELL RESEARCH 2015; 1863:1351-63. [PMID: 26707182 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbamcr.2015.12.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2015] [Revised: 11/25/2015] [Accepted: 12/12/2015] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Plasma membrane Ca(2+) ATPases (PMCAs) are intimately involved in the control of intracellular Ca(2+) concentration. They reduce Ca(2+) in the cytosol not only by direct ejection, but also by controlling the formation of inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate and decreasing Ca(2+) release from the endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) pool. In mammals four genes (PMCA1-4) are expressed, and alternative RNA splicing generates more than twenty variants. The variants differ in their regulatory characteristics. They localize into highly specialized membrane compartments and respond to the incoming Ca(2+) with distinct temporal resolution. The expression pattern of variants depends on cell type; a change in this pattern can result in perturbed Ca(2+) homeostasis and thus altered cell function. Indeed, PMCAs undergo remarkable changes in their expression pattern during tumorigenesis that might significantly contribute to the unbalanced Ca(2+) homeostasis of cancer cells. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Calcium and Cell Fate. Guest Editors: Jacques Haiech, Claus Heizmann, Joachim Krebs, Thierry Capiod and Olivier Mignen.
