Abstract
Ceramides (Cer) constitute a class of lipids present in the cell membranes where they act as structural components, but they can also work as signaling molecules. Increasing genetic and biochemical evidence supports a link between deregulation of ceramide metabolism in the brain and neurodegeneration. Here, we provide an overview of the genes and cellular pathways that link Cer with Parkinson’s disease and discuss how ceramide pathobiology is gaining increasing interest in the understanding of the pathological mechanisms that contribute to the disease and in the clinical and therapeutic side.

Abstract
The perforation of the plasmalemma by pore-forming toxins causes an influx of Ca(2+) and an efflux of cytoplasmic constituents. In order to ensure survival, the cell needs to identify, plug and remove lesions from its membrane. Quarantined by membrane folds and isolated by membrane fusion, the pores are removed from the plasmalemma and expelled into the extracellular space. Outward vesiculation and microparticle shedding seem to be the strategies of choice to eliminate toxin-perforated membrane regions from the plasmalemma of host cells. Depending on the cell type and the nature of injury, the membrane lesion can also be taken up by endocytosis and degraded internally. Host cells make excellent use of an initial, moderate rise in intracellular [Ca(2+)], which triggers containment of the toxin-inflicted damage and resealing of the damaged plasmalemma. Additional Ca(2+)-dependent defensive cellular actions range from the release of effector molecules in order to warn neighbouring cells, to the activation of caspases for the initiation of apoptosis in order to eliminate heavily damaged, dysregulated cells. Injury to the plasmalemma by bacterial toxins can be prevented by the early sequestration of bacterial toxins. Artificial liposomes can act as a decoy system preferentially binding and neutralizing bacterial toxins.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd), a potent hepatotoxin, has been reported to induce endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in various cell types. However, whether such effect exists in bird is still unclear. To delineate the effects of Cd exposure on ER stress response, we examined the expression of 78-kDa glucose-regulated protein (GRP78) and alteration in calcium homeostasis in primary chicken hepatocytes treated with 2-22 µM Cd for 24 h. A significant decrease of cell viability was observed in chicken hepatocytes following Cd administration. In cells treated with Cd, GRP78 protein levels increased in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, GRP78 and GRP94mRNA levels were elevated in response to Cd exposure. The increase of the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration in chicken hepatocytes was found during Cd exposure. Cd significantly decreased the CaM mRNA levels in hepatocytes. These results show that Cd regulates the expression of GRP78 and calcium homeostasis in chicken hepatocytes, suggesting that ER stress induced by Cd plays an important role in the mechanisms of Cd cytotoxicity to the bird hepatocytes.

Abstract
Ceramide is a key lipid mediator of cellular processes such as differentiation, proliferation, growth arrest and apoptosis. During apoptosis, ceramide is produced within the plasma membrane. Although recent data suggest that the generation of intracellular ceramide increases mitochondrial permeability, the source of mitochondrial ceramide remains unknown. Here, we determine whether a stress-mediated plasmalemmal pool of ceramide might become available to the mitochondria of apoptotic cells. We have previously established annexin A1—a member of a family of Ca2+ and membrane-binding proteins—to be a marker of ceramide platforms. Using fluorescently tagged annexin A1, we show that, upon its generation within the plasma membrane, ceramide self-associates into platforms that subsequently invaginate and fuse with mitochondria. An accumulation of ceramide within the mitochondria of apoptotic cells was also confirmed using a ceramide-specific antibody. Electron microscopic tomography confirmed that upon the formation of ceramide platforms, the invaginated regions of the plasma membrane extend deep into the cytoplasm forming direct physical contacts with mitochondrial outer membranes. Ceramide might thus be directly transferred from the plasma membrane to the mitochondrial outer membrane. It is conceivable that this “kiss-of-death” increases the permeability of the mitochondrial outer membrane thereby triggering apoptosis.

A calcium-insensitive attenuated nitrosative stress response contributes significantly in the radioresistance of Sf9 insect cells. Int J Biochem Cell Biol 2011; 43:1340-53.

Abstract
Lepidopteran insects/insect cells display 50-100 times higher radioresistance than humans, and are evolutionarily closest to mammals amongst all radioresistant organisms known. Compared to mammalian cells, Lepidopteran cells (TN-368, Sf9) display more efficient antioxidant system and DNA repair and suffer considerably less radiation-induced DNA/cytogenetic damage and apoptosis. Recent studies indicate that a considerably lower radiation-induced oxidative stress may significantly reduce macromolecular damage in Lepidopteran cells. Since nitrosative stress contributes in radiation-induced cellular damage, we investigated its nature in the γ-irradiated Sf9 cells (derived from Spodoptera frugiperda; order Lepidoptera; family Noctuidae) and compared with BMG-1 human cell line having significant NOS expression. Radiation induced considerably less ROS/RNS in Sf9 cells, which remained unchanged on treatment with NOS inhibitor l-NMMA. Surprisingly, growth of Sf9 cultures or irradiation could not induce NO or its metabolites, indicating negligible basal/radiation-induced NOS activity that remained unchanged even after supplementation with arginine. Cytosolic calcium release following high-dose (1000-2000Gy at 61.1cGys(-1)) γ-irradiation or H(2)O(2) (250μM) treatment also failed to generate NO in Sf9 cells having high constitutive levels of calmodulin, whereas BMG-1 cells displayed considerable calcium-dependent NO generation even following 10Gy dose. These results strongly imply the lack of calcium-mediated NOS activity in Sf9 cells. Addition of exogenous NO from GSH-NO caused considerable increase in radiation-induced apoptosis, indicating significant contribution of constitutively attenuated nitrosative stress response into the radioresistance of Lepidopteran cells. Our study demonstrates for the first time that a calcium-insensitive, attenuated nitrosative stress response may contribute significantly in the unusual radioresistance displayed by Lepidopteran insect cells.

Abstract
Plasma cells (PCs) are terminally differentiated B lymphocytes responsible for the synthesis and secretion of Igs. The differentiation of B cells into PCs involves a remarkable expansion of both lipid and protein components of the endoplasmic reticulum. Despite their importance in many signal transduction pathways, the role of ceramides, and of complex sphingolipids that are derived from ceramide, in PC differentiation has never been directly studied. To assess their putative role in PC differentiation, we blocked ceramide synthesis with fumonisin B1, a specific inhibitor of ceramide synthase. Under fumonisin B1 treatment, N-linked glycosylation was severely impaired in LPS-activated, but not in naive, B cells. We also show that ceramide synthesis is strongly induced by XBP-1 (X box-binding protein-1). In the absence of ceramide synthesis, ER expansion was dramatically diminished. Our results underscore ceramide biosynthesis as a key metabolic pathway in the process of PC differentiation and reveal a previously unknown functional link between sphingolipids and N-linked glycosylation in PCs.

Abstract
The kidney-proximal tubules are involved in reabsorbing two-thirds of the glomerular ultrafiltrate, a key Ca(2+)-modulated process that is essential for maintaining homeostasis in body fluid compartments. The basolateral membranes of these cells have a Ca(2+)-ATPase, which is thought to be responsible for the fine regulation of intracellular Ca(2+) levels. In this paper we show that nanomolar concentrations of ceramide (Cer(50) = 3.5 nm), a natural product derived from sphingomyelinase activity in biological membranes, promotes a 50% increase of Ca(2+)-ATPase activity in purified basolateral membranes. The stimulatory effect of ceramide occurs through specific and direct (cAMP-independent) activation of a protein kinase A (blocked by 10 nm of the specific inhibitor of protein kinase A (PKA), the 5-22 peptide). The activation of PKA by ceramide results in phosphorylation of the Ca(2+)-ATPase, as detected by an anti-Ser/Thr specific PKA substrate antibody. It is observed a straight correlation between increase of Ca(2+)-ATPase activity and PKA-mediated phosphorylation of the Ca(2+) pump molecule. Ceramide also stimulates phosphorylation of renal Ca(2+)-ATPase via protein kinase C, but stimulation of this pathway, which inhibits the Ca(2+) pump in kidney cells, is counteracted by the ceramide-triggered PKA-mediated phosphorylation. The potent effect of ceramide reveals a new physiological activator of the plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase, which integrates the regulatory network of glycerolipids and sphingolipids present in the basolateral membranes of kidney cells.

Abstract
Perturbance of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) function, either by the mutant proteins not folding correctly, or by an excessive accumulation of proteins in the organelle, will lead to the unfolded protein response (UPR) or ER overload response (EOR). The signal-transducing pathways for UPR have been identified, whereas the pathway for EOR remains to be elucidated. Our previous study demonstrated that the overexpression of reticulon 3 (RTN3, also named HAP, homologue of ASY protein) caused apoptosis with the depletion of ER Ca(2+) stores. In present research, we characterized RTN3 as a novel EOR-induced protein, triggering the apoptotic signals through the release of ER Ca(2+) and the elevation of cytosolic Ca(2+). Our studies showed that overexpressed RTN3 induced EOR, eliciting ER-specific apoptosis with activation of caspase-12 and mitochondrial dysfunction through ER Ca(2+) depletion and the sustained elevation of cytosolic Ca(2+). Furthermore, we demonstrated that overexpressed RTN3 and stimuli that activate both EOR and UPR, not UPR only, were able to induce up-regulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in HeLa cells through ER Ca(2+) release and reactive oxygen intermediates (ROIs), resulting in endogenous calcium-dependent nitric oxide protecting cells against ER specific apoptosis, which suggested that the nitric oxide and iNOS represented a likely protective response to EOR, not the UPR. These results supported that the release of ER Ca(2+) stores triggered the initial signal-transducing pathways for EOR induced by overexpressed RTN3.

Abstract
To clarify the apoptotic and survival signal transduction pathways in activated vascular endothelial cells exposed to oxidative stress, the effects of inhibitors of signal transduction on hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2))-induced apoptosis in bovine aortic vascular endothelial cells (BAEC) were examined. Treatment of BAEC with 1 mM H(2)O(2) caused increases of DNA fragmentation, p53 expression, Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, and the activities of caspases 3 and 9. The increases of DNA fragmentation, Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, and caspase activities were abrogated by BAPTA-AM (an intracellular Ca(2+) chelator) and N-acetyl-L-cysteine (an antioxidant), and augmented by wortmannin [a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor]. The increase of the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) observed in H(2)O(2)-stimulated cells was unaffected by wortmannin, suggesting that the potentiating effect of wortmannin on the apoptosis was not due to an alteration of [Ca(2+)](i). H(2)O(2) increased the levels of PI3K activity and Akt phosphorylation. Both were attenuated by wortmannin and, to a lesser extent, by genistein (a tyrosine kinase inhibitor) and suramin (a growth factor receptor inhibitor), but not affected by BAPTA-AM. These results suggest that H(2)O(2) induces Ca(2+)-dependent apoptosis and Ca(2+)-independent survival signals such as redox-regulated activation of PI3K/Akt, which is partly mediated by the activation of growth factor receptors in BAEC.

Abstract
PURPOSE Status epilepticus (SE) can result in acute neuronal injury with subsequent long-term age-dependent behavioral and histologic sequelae. To investigate potential mechanisms that may underlie SE-related neuronal injury, we studied the occurrence of programmed cell death (PCD) in the hippocampus in the kainic acid (KA) model. METHODS In adult rats, KA-induced SE resulted in DNA fragmentation documented at 30 h after KA injection. Ceramide, a known mediator of PCD in multiple neural and nonneural tissues, increased at 2-3 h after KA intraperitoneal injection, and then decreased to control levels before increasing again from 12 to 30 h after injection. MK801 pretreatment prevented KA-induced increases in ceramide levels and DNA fragmentation, whether there was reduction in seizure severity or not (achieved with 5 mg/kg and 1 mg/kg of MK801, respectively). RESULTS Both ceramide increases and DNA fragmentation were observed after KA-induced SE in adult and in P35 rats. Ceramide did not increase after KA-induced SE in P7 pups, which also did not manifest any DNA fragmentation. Intrahippocampal injection of the active ceramide analogue C2-ceramide produced widespread DNA fragmentation, whereas the inactive ceramide analogue C2-dihydroceramide did not. CONCLUSIONS Our data support the hypotheses that (a) N-methyl-d-aspartate-receptor activation results in ceramide increases and in DNA fragmentation; (b) ceramide is a mediator of PCD after SE; and (c) there are age-related differences in PCD and in the ceramide response after SE. Differences in the ceramide response could, potentially, be responsible for observed age-related differences in the response to SE.

Abstract
HAP, a novel human apoptosis-inducing protein, was identified to localize exclusively to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in our previous work. In the present work, we reported that ectopic overexpression of HAP proteins caused the rapid and sustained elevation of the intracellular cytosolic Ca(2+), which originated from the reversible ER Ca(2+) stores release and the extracellular Ca(2+) influx. The HeLa cells apoptosis induced by HAP proteins was not prevented by establishing the clamped cytosolic Ca(2+) condition, or by buffering of the extracellular Ca(2+) with EGTA, suggesting that the depletion of ER Ca(2+) stores rather than the elevation of cytosolic Ca(2+) or the extracellular Ca(2+) entry contributed to HAP-induced HeLa cells apoptosis. Caspase-3 was also activated in the process of HAP-triggered apoptotic cell death.

Abstract
The group IV cytosolic phospholipase A(2) (cPLA(2)) has been localized to the nucleus (M. R. Sierra-Honigmann, J. R. Bradley, and J. S. Pober, Lab. Investig. 74:684-695, 1996) and is known to translocate from the cytosolic compartment to the nuclear membrane (S. Glover, M. S. de Carvalho, T. Bayburt, M. Jonas, E. Chi, C. C. Leslie, and M. H. Gelb, J. Biol. Chem. 270:15359-15367, 1995; A. R. Schievella, M. K. Regier, W. L. Smith, and L. L. Lin, J. Biol. Chem. 270:30749-30754, 1995). We hypothesized that nuclear proteins interact with cPLA(2) and participate in the functional effects of this translocation. We have identified a nuclear protein, cPLA(2)-interacting protein (PLIP), a splice variant of human Tip60, which interacts with the amino terminal region of cPLA(2). Like Tip60, PLIP cDNA includes the MYST domain containing a C2HC zinc finger and well-conserved similarities to acetyltransferases. Both PLIP and Tip60 coimmunoprecipitate and colocalize with cPLA(2) within the nuclei of transfected COS cells. A polyclonal antibody raised to PLIP recognizes both PLIP and Tip60. Endogenous Tip60 and/or PLIP in rat mesangial cells is localized to the nucleus in response to serum deprivation. Nuclear localization coincides temporally with apoptosis. PLIP expression, mediated by adenoviral gene transfer, potentiates serum deprivation-induced prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) production and apoptosis in mouse mesangial cells from cPLA(2)(+/+) mice but not in mesangial cells derived from cPLA(2)(-/-) mice. Thus PLIP, a splice variant of Tip60, interacts with cPLA(2) and potentiates cPLA(2)-mediated PGE(2) production and apoptosis.
