Abstract
Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) experience a higher risk of fractures despite paradoxically exhibiting normal to high bone mineral density (BMD). This has drawn into question the applicability to T2DM of conventional fracture reduction treatments that aim to retain BMD. In a primary human osteoblast culture system, high glucose levels (25 mM) impaired cell proliferation and matrix mineralization compared to physiological glucose levels (5 mM). Treatment with parathyroid hormone (PTH, 10 nM), a bone anabolic agent, and cinacalcet (CN, 1 µM), a calcimimetic able to target the Ca2+-sensing receptor (CaSR), were tested for their effects on proliferation and differentiation. Strikingly, CN+PTH co-treatment was shown to promote cell growth and matrix mineralization under both physiological and high glucose conditions. CN+PTH reduced apoptosis by 0.9-fold/0.4-fold as measured by Caspase-3 activity assay, increased alkaline phosphatase (ALP) expression by 1.5-fold/twofold, increased the ratio of nuclear factor κ-B ligand (RANKL) to osteoprotegerin (OPG) by 2.1-fold/1.6-fold, and increased CaSR expression by 1.7-fold/4.6-fold (physiological glucose/high glucose). Collectively, these findings indicate a potential for CN+PTH combination therapy as a method to ameliorate the negative impact of chronic high blood glucose on bone remodeling.

Calcium-Sensing Receptor and Regulation of WNK Kinases in the Kidney. Cells 2020; 9:cells9071644.

Abstract
The kidney is essential for systemic calcium homeostasis. Urinary calcium excretion can be viewed as an integrative renal response to endocrine and local stimuli. The extracellular calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) elicits a number of adaptive reactions to increased plasma Ca2+ levels including the control of parathyroid hormone release and regulation of the renal calcium handling. Calcium reabsorption in the distal nephron of the kidney is functionally coupled to sodium transport. Apart from Ca2+ transport systems, CaSR signaling affects relevant distal Na+-(K+)-2Cl- cotransporters, NKCC2 and NCC. NKCC2 and NCC are activated by a kinase cascade comprising with-no-lysine [K] kinases (WNKs) and two homologous Ste20-related kinases, SPAK and OSR1. Gain-of-function mutations within the WNK-SPAK/OSR1-NKCC2/NCC pathway lead to renal salt retention and hypertension, whereas loss-of-function mutations have been associated with salt-losing tubulopathies such as Bartter or Gitelman syndromes. A Bartter-like syndrome has been also described in patients carrying gain-of-function mutations in the CaSR gene. Recent work suggested that CaSR signals via the WNK-SPAK/OSR1 cascade to modulate salt reabsorption along the distal nephron. The review presented here summarizes the latest progress in understanding of functional interactions between CaSR and WNKs and their potential impact on the renal salt handling and blood pressure.

Abstract
The current interest of the scientific community for research in the field of calcium sensing in general and on the calcium-sensing Receptor (CaR) in particular is demonstrated by the still increasing number of papers published on this topic. The extracellular calcium-sensing receptor is the best-known G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) able to sense external Ca2+ changes. Widely recognized as a fundamental player in systemic Ca2+ homeostasis, the CaR is ubiquitously expressed in the human body where it activates multiple signalling pathways. In this review, old and new notions regarding the mechanisms by which extracellular Ca2+ microdomains are created and the tools available to measure them are analyzed. After a survey of the main signalling pathways triggered by the CaR, a special attention is reserved for the emerging concepts regarding CaR function in the heart, CaR trafficking and pharmacology. Finally, an overview on other Ca2+ sensors is provided.

Abstract
Direct alkylation of a methyl group, on di- and trisubstituted ureas, with terminal alkenes by C(sp3 )-H bond activation proceeded in the presence of a hydroxoiridium/bisphosphine catalyst to give high yields of the corresponding addition products. The hydroxoiridium/bisphosphine complex generates an amidoiridium intermediate by reaction with ureas having an N-H bond.

Abstract
The present study investigates the effect of commonly used negative and positive allosteric modulators of the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) on vascular reactivity. In wire myography studies, increasing [Ca2+]o from 1mM to 6mM induced concentration-dependent relaxations of methoxamine-induced pre-contracted rabbit mesenteric arteries, with 6mM [Ca2+]o producing almost complete relaxation. [Ca2+]o-induced relaxations were attenuated in the presence of the calcilytics Calhex-231 and NPS 2143, and abolished by the removal of the endothelium. In addition to their calcilytic effects, Calhex-231 and NPS 2143 also produced concentration-dependent inhibitions of methoxamine- or KCl-induced precontracted tone, which were unaffected by removal of the endothelium and unopposed in the presence of the calcimimetic Calindol. In vessels with depleted Ca2+ stores, contractions mediated by Ca2+ influx via voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (VGCCs) were inhibited by Calhex231. In freshly isolated single rabbit mesenteric artery smooth muscle cells, Calhex-231 and NPS 2143 inhibited whole-cell VGCC currents. Application of Calindol also inhibited methoxamine- and KCl-induced pre-contracted tone, and inhibited whole-cell VGCC currents. In conclusion, in addition to their CaSR-mediated actions in the vasculature, Calhex-231, NPS 2143 and Calindol reduce vascular contractility via direct inhibition of VGCCs.

Abstract
A straightforward process for the N-alkylation of amines has been developed applying readily available carboxylic acids and silanes as the hydride source. Complementary to known reductive aminations, effective C-N bond construction proceeds under mild conditions and allows obtaining a broad range of alkylated secondary and tertiary amines, including fluoroalkyl-substituted anilines as well as the bioactive compound Cinacalcet HCl.

Abstract
Amniotic fluid-derived stem (AFS) cells have been identified as a promising source for cell therapy applications in bone traumatic and degenerative damage. Calcium Sensing Receptor (CaSR), a G protein-coupled receptor able to bind calcium ions, plays a physiological role in regulating bone metabolism. It is expressed in different kinds of cells, as well as in some stem cells. The bone CaSR could potentially be targeted by allosteric modulators, in particular by agonists such as calcimimetic R-568, which may potentially be helpful for the treatment of bone disease. The aim of our study was first to investigate the presence of CaSR in ovine Amniotic Fluid Mesenchymal Stem Cells (oAFMSCs) and then the potential role of calcimimetics in in vitro osteogenesis. oAFMSCs were isolated, characterized and analyzed to examine the possible presence of CaSR by western blotting and flow cytometry analysis. Once we had demonstrated CaSR expression, we worked out that 1 µM R-568 was the optimal and effective concentration by cell viability test (MTT), cell number, Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) and Alizarin Red S (ARS) assays. Interestingly, we observed that basal diffuse CaSR expression in oAFMSCs increased at the membrane when cells were treated with R-568 (1 µM), potentially resulting in activation of the receptor. This was associated with significantly increased cell mineralization (ALP and ARS staining) and augmented intracellular calcium and Inositol trisphosphate (IP3) levels, thus demonstrating a potential role for calcimimetics during osteogenic differentiation. Calhex-231, a CaSR allosteric inhibitor, totally reversed R-568 induced mineralization. Taken together, our results demonstrate for the first time that CaSR is expressed in oAFMSCs and that calcimimetic R-568, possibly through CaSR activation, can significantly improve the osteogenic process. Hence, our study may provide useful information on the mechanisms regulating osteogenesis in oAFMSCs, perhaps prompting the use of calcimimetics in bone regenerative medicine.

Abstract
In the last few years, causative genes have been identified for most of the familial hyperparathyroidism conditions. Germline mutations in the tumour suppressors multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) and hyperparathyroidism 2 (HRPT2) provide a molecular diagnosis of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 and hyperparathyroidism jaw tumour syndrome, respectively. Germline mutations in the proto-oncogene RET (rearranged during transfection) provide a molecular diagnosis of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2. Germline mutations of both MEN1 and, less frequently HRPT2, have been found in familial isolated hyperparathyroidism. A molecular diagnosis can now be incorporated into the management of patients with these conditions, however, the ease of diagnostics and value of genetic information in the context of clinical screening and early surgical intervention varies between these disorders. This review focuses on familial hyperparathyroidism and its known causative genes in the setting of neoplastic syndromes, with particular discussion of recent developments in the molecular diagnosis of parathyroid carcinoma.

Abstract
The calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) is a G-coupled protein expressed in renal juxtaglomerular (JG) cells. Its activation stimulates calcium-mediated decreases in cAMP content and inhibits renin release. The postreceptor pathway for the CaSR in JG cells is unknown. In parathyroids, CaSR acts through G(q) and/or G(i). Activation of G(q) stimulates phospholipase C (PLC), and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)), releasing calcium from intracellular stores. G(i) stimulation inhibits cAMP formation. In afferent arterioles, the ryanodine receptor (RyR) enhances release of stored calcium. We hypothesized JG cell CaSR activation inhibits renin via the PLC/IP(3) and also RyR activation, increasing intracellular calcium, suppressing cAMP formation, and inhibiting renin release. Renin release from primary cultures of isolated mouse JG cells (n = 10) was measured. The CaSR agonist cinacalcet decreased renin release 56 ± 7% of control (P < 0.001), while the PLC inhibitor U73122 reversed cinacalcet inhibition of renin (104 ± 11% of control). The IP(3) inhibitor 2-APB also reversed inhibition of renin from 56 ± 6 to 104 ± 11% of control (P < 0.001). JG cells were positively labeled for RyR, and blocking RyR reversed CaSR-mediated inhibition of renin from 61 ± 8 to 118 ± 22% of control (P < 0.01). Combining inhibition of IP(3) and RyR was not additive. G(i) inhibition with pertussis toxin plus cinacalcet did not reverse renin inhibition (65 ± 12 to 41 ± 8% of control, P < 0.001). We conclude stimulating JG cell CaSR activates G(q), initiating the PLC/IP(3) pathway, activating RyR, increasing intracellular calcium, and resulting in calcium-mediated renin inhibition.

Abstract
Calcium-sensing receptors (CaSR) are integral to regulation of systemic Ca(2+) homeostasis. Altered expression levels or mutations in CaSR cause Ca(2+) handling diseases. CaSR is regulated by both endogenous allosteric modulators and allosteric drugs, including the first Food and Drug Administration-approved allosteric agonist, Cinacalcet HCl (Sensipar®). Recent studies suggest that allosteric modulators not only alter function of plasma membrane-localized CaSR, but regulate CaSR stability at the endoplasmic reticulum. This brief review summarizes our current understanding of the role of membrane-permeant allosteric agonists in cotranslational stabilization of CaSR, and highlights additional, indirect, signalling-dependent role(s) for membrane-impermeant allosteric drugs. Overall, these studies suggest that allosteric drugs act at multiple cellular organelles to control receptor abundance and hence function, and that drug hydrophobicity can bias the relative contributions of plasma membrane and intracellular organelles to CaSR abundance and signalling.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In the parathyroid gland, the calcium sensing receptor responds to small changes in circulating levels of Ca(2+), and consequently stimulates or inhibits the secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Thus, ligands potentiating the action of calcium (calcimimetics) lead to decreased PTH secretion and can thus be useful for the treatment of hyperparathyroidism. On the other hand, ligands which antagonize the action of calcium (calcilytics) stimulate PTH secretion, favoring bone tissue regeneration. AREAS COVERED This review first discusses the rapid development of calcimimetics (only one of which has been approved for the treatment of hyperparathyroidism) followed by that of calcilytics (none of which has as yet been approved for the treatment of osteoporosis). Peer-reviewed articles generated by these patents are also surveyed. EXPERT OPINION The rapid progress in developing a clinically approved calcimimetic has not been matched by an identical success in finding an orally available calcilytic useful for the treatment of osteoporosis. However, the growing importance of osteoporosis as a debilitating disease is a stimulating factor in discovering such compounds.

Abstract
The design, synthesis and calcimimetic properties of various cyclic sulfonamides and sulfamates are described. The latter were prepared from the corresponding o-alkenylarenesulfonamides via copper- or rhodium-catalyzed intramolecular aziridination. The size of the cyclic sulfonamide rings as well as the position of the crucial (R)-naphthylethylamine substituent significantly affected calcimimetic activity. The most active compounds were the six- and seven-membered sulfonamides 30a and 31a and sulfamate 34a.

Abstract
In vitro, the renin-secreting juxtaglomerular cells express the calcium-sensing receptor, and its activation with the calcimimetic cinacalcet inhibits renin release. To test whether the activation of calcium-sensing receptor similarly inhibits plasma renin activity (PRA) in vivo, we hypothesized that the calcium-sensing receptor is expressed in juxtaglomerular cells in vivo, and acutely administered cinacalcet would inhibit renin activity in anesthetized rats. Since cinacalcet inhibits parathyroid hormone, which may stimulate renin activity, we sought to determine whether cinacalcet inhibits renin activity by decreasing parathyroid hormone. Lastly, we hypothesized that chronically administered cinacalcet would inhibit basal and stimulated renin in conscious rats. Calcium-sensing receptors and renin were localized in the same juxtaglomerular cells using immunofluorescence in rat cortical slices fixed in vivo. Cinacalcet was administered acutely via intravenous bolus in anesthetized rats and chronically in conscious rats by oral gavage. Acute administration of cinacalcet decreased basal renin activity from 13.6 ± 2.4 to 6.1 ± 1.1 ng ANG I·ml(-1)·h(-1) (P < 0.001). Likewise, cinacalcet decreased furosemide-stimulated renin from 30.6 ± 2.3 to 21.3 ± 2.3 ng ANG I·ml(-1)·h(-1) (P < 0.001). In parathyroidectomized rats, cinacalcet decreased renin activity from 9.3 ± 1.3 to 5.2 ± 0.5 ng ANG I·ml(-1)·h(-1) (P < 0.05) similar to sham-operated controls (13.5 ± 2.2 to 6.6 ± 0.8 ng ANG I·ml(-1)·h(-1), P < 0.05). Chronic administration of cinacalcet over 7 days had no significant effect on PRA under basal or stimulated conditions. In conclusion, calcium-sensing receptors are expressed in juxtaglomerular cells in vivo, and acute activation of these receptors with cinacalcet inhibits PRA in anesthetized rats, independent of parathyroid hormone.

Abstract
Allosteric receptor ligands bind to a recognition site that is distinct from the binding site of the endogenous messenger molecule. As a consequence, allosteric agents may attach to receptors that are already transmitter-bound. Ternary complex formation opens an avenue to qualitatively new drug actions at G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), in particular receptor subtype selective potentiation of endogenous transmitter action. Consequently, suitable exploitation of allosteric recognition sites as alternative molecular targets could pave the way to a drug discovery paradigm different from those aimed at mimicking or blocking the effects of endogenous (orthosteric) receptor activators. The number of allosteric ligands reported to modulate GPCR function is steadily increasing and some have already reached routine clinical use. This review aims at introducing into this fascinating field of drug discovery and at providing an overview about the achievements that have already been made. Various case examples will be discussed in the framework of GPCR classification (family A, B, and C receptors). In addition, the behavior at muscarinic receptors of hybrid derivatives incorporating both an allosteric and an orthosteric fragment in a common molecular skeleton will be illustrated.

Abstract
In this article we consider the molecular basis of sensing and signalling by the extracellular calcium-sensing receptor. We consider the nature of its ligands and sensing modalities, the identities of its major protein domains and their roles in sensing, signalling and trafficking as well as the significance of receptor homo- and hetero-dimerization. Finally, we consider the current, incomplete, state of knowledge regarding the requirements for ligand-specific signalling.

Abstract
Calcimimetics and vitamin D sterols reduce serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism receiving dialysis, a disease state associated with parathyroid hyperplasia, vascular calcification, bone disease, and increased mortality. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of the research calcimimetic AMG 641 (Amgen, Inc., Thousand Oaks, CA) or calcitriol (Sigma Aldrich Corporation, St. Louis, MO) on vascular calcification in a rodent model of progressive uremia with accompanying secondary hyperparathyroidism induced by dietary adenine. Treatment effects on parathyroid gland hyperplasia and bone loss were also investigated. Rats were treated daily with vehicle, calcitriol (10 ng), AMG 641 (3 mg/kg), or no treatment during the 4 week period the animals were fed adenine. The uremia-induced increases in serum PTH levels were significantly attenuated by both AMG 641 (>90%) and calcitriol (approximately 50%). AMG 641 significantly reduced calcium-phosphorus product (CaxP) and significantly attenuated the development of both parathyroid hyperplasia and vascular calcification. In addition, AMG 641 prevented the defects in trabecular bone volume, trabecular number, and bone mineralization, as well as increases in trabecular spacing in this rodent model of secondary hyperparathyroidism. Calcitriol (10 ng/rat) decreased osteoid surface/bone surface, but had no effects on other bone parameters, or parathyroid hyperplasia (likely due to the lower PTH suppressive effect of calcitriol at the dose used in this study). However, this dose of calcitriol significantly exacerbated vascular calcification. These results suggest that calcimimetics can reduce the development of vascular calcification, parathyroid hyperplasia and bone abnormalities associated with secondary hyperparathyroidism.

Abstract
There is much evidence that dietary Ca(2+) loading reduces colon cell proliferation and carcinogenesis in humans and rodents, but during carcinogenesis it becomes ineffective or even tumor-promoting. We are beginning to see how Ca(2+) balances the continuous massive cell production in colon crypts by driving the terminal differentiation and eventually the apoptosis of the cells mainly on the mucosal surface, and how this Ca(2+) control is lost during colon carcinogenesis. The rapid proliferation of the transit-amplifying (TA) progeny of the colon stem cells is driven by the so-called "Wnt" signaling mechanism, which involves the stimulation of proliferogenic genes such as those for c-Myc and cyclin D1 and the silencing of the gene for the cell cycle-stopping p21(Cip1/WAF1) protein by nuclear beta-catenin*Tcf-4 complexes. TA cells avoid mitotic damage and premature apoptosis by expressing the protein survivin. It appears that TA cell cycling stops and terminal differentiation starts when the cells reach a higher level in the crypt where there is enough lumenal Ca(2+) to stimulate the expression and activation of CaSRs (Ca(2+)-sensing receptors), the signals from which stimulate the expression of E-cadherin. Along with this, the APC (adenomatous polyposis coli) protein appears and some of it enters the nucleus. There it makes the TA cells susceptible to the eventual apoptotic balancing by stopping survivin expression and the beta-catenin*Tcf-4 complex from driving further cell cycling by releasing beta-catenin from the nucleus, and delivering it to cytoplasmic APC*axin*GSK-3beta complexes for ultimate proteasomal destruction. Cytoplasmic beta-catenin is then prevented from returning to the nucleus by either being intercepted and destroyed by APC*axin*GSK-3beta complexes or locked by the emerging E-cadherin into membrane adherens junctions which tie the cell into the sheet of proliferatively shut-down cells with APC-dependent cytoskeletons moving to the mouth of the crypt and onto the flat mucosal surface. A common first step in sporadic colon carcinogenesis is the loss of functional APC which disorients upwardly directed migration and causes the retention of nuclear beta-catenin and proliferogenic beta-catenin*Tcf-4 complexes as well as genomic instability. Eventually the balance between cell proliferation and terminal differentiation and death is radically tipped in favour of proliferation by the appearance of apoptosis-resistant, survivin-expressing clones of Ca(2+)-insensitive cells which are locked into the proliferative, mutation-prone mode because of CaSR-disabling gene mutations which prevent the stimulation of E-cadherin expression and terminal differentiation.

Abstract
AIMS Calcimimetics are effective in reducing parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism, but variability in dose response has been noted. We examined SNP Arg990Gly of the calcium-sensing receptor as a possible cause. MATERIALS & METHODS We performed a dose-response study with cinacalcet on 23 hemodialysis patients (with PTH >300 pg/ml). Intact (i)PTH levels were measured at baseline and over time post-dose; 17 patients had iPTH measured at 24 h post-dose (60 mg). Arg990Gly status was established by sequencing a section from exon 7 of the CaSR gene. RESULTS Only 33% of patients homozygous for the arginine allele showed an iPTH suppression of at least 5% of baseline at 24 h, while 88% of patients with one or two glycine alleles achieved this target (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION We conclude that Arg990Gly influences the response to calcimimetics in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism with an odds ratio of 2.6. This corresponds with in vitro data testing the effect of calcimimetic agent R-568 in HEK-293 cells transfected with the two alleles of Arg990Gly: HEK-293 cells expressing glycine-type CaSR were more sensitive to R-568 than arginine-type CaSR (p = 0.0001).

Abstract
Calcium-sensing receptors sense and translate micromolar changes of extracellular calcium into changes in intracellular calcium. Renin, a component of the renin-angiotensin system, is synthesized by, stored in, and released from the juxtaglomerular cells through a cAMP-dependent pathway. Increased intracellular calcium inhibits the adenylyl cyclase isoform type V, cAMP formation, and renin release from juxtaglomerular cells. We hypothesized that calcium-sensing receptors are expressed in juxtaglomerular cells and mediate changes in intracellular calcium and renin release. To test this we used primary cultures of isolated mouse juxtaglomerular cells in which we ran RT-PCR, Western blots, and immunofluorescence. RT-PCR showed a positive band at the expected 151 bp consistent with calcium-sensing receptor. Western blots showed a 130- to 150-kDa band confirming the calcium-sensing receptor in juxtaglomerular cells. Immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy using 2 different antibodies against the calcium-sensing receptor in juxtaglomerular cells showed positive fluorescence in the juxtaglomerular cells, which also had positive labeling for renin. To test whether calcium-sensing receptors regulate renin release, juxtaglomerular cells were incubated with a calcium-sensing receptor agonist, the calcimimetic cinacalcet-HCl, at concentrations of 50 and 1000 nmol/L in 0.25 mmol/L of calcium medium. Cinacalcet-HCl decreased juxtaglomerular cell cAMP formation to 47.3+/-6.8% and 44.2+/-9.7% of basal, respectively (P<0.001), and decreased renin release from 541.9+/-86.2 to 364.6+/-64.1 (P<0.05) and 279.6+/-56.9 (P<0.005) ng of angiotensin I per milliliter per hour per milligram of protein, respectively. We conclude that juxtaglomerular cells express the calcium-sensing receptor and that their activation leads to inhibition of adenylyl cyclase-V activity, decreasing cAMP formation and suppressing renin release.

Abstract
By virtue of their large number, widespread distribution and important roles in cell physiology and biochemistry, G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) play multiple important roles in clinical medicine. Here, we focus on 3 areas that subsume much of the recent work in this aspect of GPCR biology: (1) monogenic diseases of GPCR; (2) genetic variants of GPCR; and (3) clinically useful pharmacological agonists and antagonists of GPCR. Diseases involving mutations of GPCR are rare, occurring in <1/1000 people, but disorders in which antibodies are directed against GPCR are more common. Genetic variants, especially single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), show substantial heterogeneity in frequency among different GPCRs but have not been evaluated for some GPCR. Many therapeutic agonists and antagonists target GPCR and show inter-subject variability in terms of efficacy and toxicity. For most of those agents, it remains an open question whether genetic variation in primary sequence of the GPCR is an important contributor to such inter-subject variability, although this is an active area of investigation.

Abstract
The calcium-sensing receptor (CaR), a member of G protein-coupled receptor family C, regulates systemic calcium homeostasis by activating G(q)- and G(i)-linked signaling in the parathyroid, kidney, and intestine. CaR is ubiquitinated by the E3 ligase dorfin and degraded via the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation pathway (Huang, Y., Niwa, J., Sobue, G., and Breitwieser, G. E. (2006) J. Biol. Chem. 281, 11610-11617). Here we provide evidence for a conformational or functional checkpoint in CaR biogenesis using two complementary approaches. First we characterized the sensitivity of loss- or gain-of-function CaR mutants to proteasome inhibition by MG132. The stabilization of loss-of-function mutants and insensitivity of gain-of-function mutants to MG132 suggests that receptor sensitivity to calcium influences susceptibility to proteasomal degradation. Second, we used the allosteric activator NPS R-568 and antagonist NPS 2143 to promote the active and inactive conformations of wild type CaR, respectively. Overnight culture in NPS R-568 increased expression of CaR, whereas NPS 2143 had the opposite effect. NPS R-568 and NPS 2143 differentially regulated maturation and cell surface expression of wild type CaR, directly affecting maximal signaling responses. NPS R-568 rescued expression of loss-of-function CaR mutants, increasing plasma membrane expression and ERK1/2 phosphorylation in response to 5 mM Ca(2+). Disorders of calcium homeostasis caused by CaR mutations may therefore result from altered receptor biogenesis independent of receptor function, i.e. a protein folding disorder. The allosteric modulators NPS R-568 and NPS 2143 not only alter CaR sensitivity to calcium and hence signaling but also modulate receptor expression.

Abstract
The importance of the epidermal permeability barrier (EPB) in protecting the mammalian species against harmful UV irradiation, microorganism invasion and water loss is well recognized, as is the role of calcium (Ca(2+)) in keratinocyte differentiation, cell-cell contact and the EPB. In a previous study, we reported that the overexpression of the Ca(2+)-sensing receptor (CaSR) in the undifferentiated basal cells of the epidermis induced a modified epidermal differentiation program including an accelerated EPB formation in transgenic mice, suggesting a role for CaSR signaling in the differentiation of embryonic epidermal cells during development. We now describe the expression profile of claudins (Cldns) and keratin markers in the accelerated EPB formation of K14-CaSR transgenic mice during development as compared to the wild type from E12.5 to newborn stages. Our data show that the transgenic epidermis undergoes an advanced epidermal differentiation program as compared to the wild type as evidenced morphologically as well as by the expression of K14, K1, loricrin, Cldn6, Cldn18 and Cldn11. In addition, we report for the first time the sequential expression of Cldns in epidermal development and describe that the localization of some Cldns change within the epidermis as it matures. Furthermore, we demonstrate that Cldn6 is expressed very early in epidermal morphogenesis, followed by Cldn18, Cldn11 and Cldn1.
