Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to discuss evidence concerning the many roles of calcium ions, Ca2+, in cell signaling pathways that control heart function. Before considering details of these signaling pathways, the control of contraction in ventricular muscle by Ca2+ transients accompanying cardiac action potentials is first summarized, together with a discussion of how myocytes from the atrial and pacemaker regions of the heart diverge from this basic scheme. Cell signaling pathways regulate the size and timing of the Ca2+ transients in the different heart regions to influence function. The simplest Ca2+ signaling elements involve enzymes that are regulated by cytosolic Ca2+. Particularly important examples to be discussed are those that are stimulated by Ca2+, including Ca2+-calmodulin-dependent kinase (CaMKII), Ca2+ stimulated adenylyl cyclases, Ca2+ stimulated phosphatase and NO synthases. Another major aspect of Ca2+ signaling in the heart concerns actions of the Ca2+ mobilizing agents, inositol trisphosphate (IP3), cADP-ribose (cADPR) and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate, (NAADP). Evidence concerning roles of these Ca2+ mobilizing agents in different regions of the heart is discussed in detail. The focus of the review will be on short term regulation of Ca2+ transients and contractile function, although it is recognized that Ca2+ regulation of gene expression has important long term functional consequences which will also be briefly discussed.

Abstract
Cyclic adenosine 5'-diphosphate ribose (cADPR) is a second messenger in the Ca(2+) signaling pathway. To elucidate its molecular mechanism in calcium release, a series of cADPR analogues with modification on ribose, nucleobase, and pyrophosphate have been investigated. Among them, the analogue with the modification of the northern ribose by ether linkage substitution (cIDPRE) exhibits membrane-permeate Ca(2+) agonistic activity in intact HeLa cells, human T cells, mouse cardiac myocytes and neurosecretory PC12 cell lines; thus, cIDPRE and coumarin-caged cIDPRE are valuable probes to investigate the cADPR-mediated Ca(2+) signal pathway.

Abstract
ADP-ribosyl cyclases (ADPRCs) catalyse the conversion of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide to cyclic adenosine diphosphoribose (cADPR) which is a second messenger involved in Ca(2+) mobilisation from intracellular stores. Via its interaction with the ryanodine receptor Ca(2+) channel in the heart, cADPR may exert arrhythmogenic activity. To test this hypothesis, we have studied the effect of novel cardiac ADPRC inhibitors in vitro and in vivo in models of ventricular arrhythmias. Using a high-throughput screening approach on cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes isolated from pig and rat and nicotinamide hypoxanthine dinuleotide as a surrogate substrate, we have identified potent and selective inhibitors of an intracellular, membrane-bound cardiac ADPRC that are different from the two known mammalian ADPRCs, CD38 and CD157/Bst1. We show that two structurally distinct cardiac ADPRC inhibitors, SAN2589 and SAN4825, prevent the formation of spontaneous action potentials in guinea pig papillary muscle in vitro and that compound SAN4825 is active in vivo in delaying ventricular fibrillation and cardiac arrest in a guinea pig model of Ca(2+) overload-induced arrhythmia. Inhibition of cardiac ADPRC prevents Ca(2+) overload-induced spontaneous depolarizations and ventricular fibrillation and may thus provide a novel therapeutic principle for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias.

Abstract
It was first proposed that cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) could activate ryanodine receptors (RyR) in 1991. Following a subsequent report that cADPR could activate cardiac RyR (RyR2) reconstituted into artificial membranes and stimulate Ca(2+) -release from isolated cardiac SR, there has been a steadily mounting stockpile of publications proclaiming the physiological and pathophysiological importance of cADPR in the cardiovascular system. It was only 2 years earlier, in 1989, that cADPR was first identified as the active metabolite of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), responsible for triggering the release of Ca(2+) from crude homogenates of sea urchin eggs. Twenty years later, can we boast of being any closer to unraveling the mechanisms by which cADPR modulates intracellular Ca(2+) -release? This review sets out to examine the mechanisms underlying the effects of cADPR and ask whether cADPR is an important signaling molecule in the heart.

Ca(2+) release induced by cADP-ribose is mediated by FKBP12.6 proteins in mouse bladder smooth muscle. Cell Calcium 2010; 47:449-57. [PMID: 20451249 DOI: 10.1016/j.ceca.2010.03.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2009] [Revised: 03/22/2010] [Accepted: 03/26/2010] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
We examined the role and molecular mechanism of cADPR action on Ca(2+) spark properties in mouse bladder smooth muscle. Dialysis of cADPR with patch pipettes increased frequency and amplitude of spontaneous transient out currents (STOCs) to 6.1+/-0.87 currents/min from 1.2+/-0.36 currents/min (control) and to 179.8+/-48.7pA from 36.4+/-22.6pA (control), respectively, in wildtype (WT) cells, and the effects of cADPR on STOCs were significantly blocked by JVT-591, a RYR2 stabilizer. In contrast, no significant changes were observed in FKBP12.6 null cells. Further studies indicated that Ca(2+) spark properties were altered by cADPR in WT but not FKBP12.6 null cells, namely, Ca(2+) spark frequency was increased by about 3.4-fold, peak Ca(2+) (F/F0) increased to 1.72+/-0.57 from 1.56+/-0.13, size increased to 2.86+/-0.26 microM from 1.92+/-0.14 microM, rise time and half-time decay were prolonged 1.6-fold and 2.3-fold, respectively, in WT cells. Furthermore, in the presence of thapsigargin cADPR still altered Ca(2+) spark properties, and cADPR increased F/F0 without affecting Ca(2+) spark decay time in voltage clamping cells. Dissociation studies demonstrated that application of cADPR resulted in significant removal of FKBP12.6 proteins from sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) microsomes, and that treatment of the RyR2 immunoprecipitation complexes with cADPR or FK506 disrupted the interaction between RyR2 and FKBP12.6. Finally, cADPR altered SR Ca(2+) load in WT myocytes but not in FKBP12.6-null myocytes. Taken together, these results suggest that Ca(2+) release induced by cADPR is mediated by FKBP12.6 proteins in mouse bladder smooth muscle.

Abstract
AIMS Beta-adrenergic augmentation of Ca(2+) sparks and cardiac contractility has been functionally linked to phosphorylation-dependent dissociation of FK506 binding protein 12.6 (FKBP12.6) regulatory proteins from ryanodine receptors subtype 2 (RYR2). We used FKBP12.6 null mice to test the extent to which the dissociation of FKBP12.6 affects Ca(2+) sparks and mediates the inotropic action of isoproterenol (ISO), and to investigate the underlying mechanisms of cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) regulation of Ca(2+) sparks. METHODS AND RESULTS Ca(2+) sparks and contractility were measured in cardiomyocytes and papillary muscle segments from FKBP12.6 null mice, and western blot analysis was carried out on sarcoplasmic reticulum microsomes prepared from mouse heart. Exposure to ISO resulted in a three- and two-fold increase in Ca(2+) spark frequency in wild-type (WT) and FKBP12.6 knockout (KO) myocytes, respectively, and Ca(2+) spark kinetics were also significantly altered in both types of cells. The effects of ISO on Ca(2+) spark properties in KO cells were inhibited by pre-treatment with thapsigargin or phospholamban inhibitory antibody, 2D12. Moreover, twitch force magnitude and the rate of force development were not significantly different in papillary muscles from WT and KO mice. Unlike beta-adrenergic stimulation, cADPR stimulation increased Ca(2+) spark frequency (2.8-fold) and altered spark kinetics only in WT but not in KO mice. The effect of cADPR on spark properties was not entirely blocked by pre-treatment with thapsigargin or 2D12. In voltage-clamped cells, cADPR increased the peak Ca(2+) of the spark without altering the decay time. We also noticed that basal Ca(2+) spark properties in KO mice were markedly altered compared with those in WT mice. CONCLUSION Our data demonstrate that dissociation of FKBP12.6 from the RYR2 complex does not play a significant role in beta-adrenergic-stimulated Ca(2+) release in heart cells, whereas this mechanism does underlie the action of cADPR.

Abstract
In smooth muscle, Ca(2+) controls diverse activities including cell division, contraction and cell death. Of particular significance in enabling Ca(2+) to perform these multiple functions is the cell's ability to localize Ca(2+) signals to certain regions by creating high local concentrations of Ca(2+) (microdomains), which differ from the cytoplasmic average. Microdomains arise from Ca(2+) influx across the plasma membrane or release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) store. A single Ca(2+) channel can create a microdomain of several micromolar near (approximately 200 nm) the channel. This concentration declines quickly with peak rates of several thousand micromolar per second when influx ends. The high [Ca(2+)] and the rapid rates of decline target Ca(2+) signals to effectors in the microdomain with rapid kinetics and enable the selective activation of cellular processes. Several elements within the cell combine to enable microdomains to develop. These include the brief open time of ion channels, localization of Ca(2+) by buffering, the clustering of ion channels to certain regions of the cell and the presence of membrane barriers, which restrict the free diffusion of Ca(2+). In this review, the generation of microdomains arising from Ca(2+) influx across the plasma membrane and the release of the ion from the SR Ca(2+) store will be discussed and the contribution of mitochondria and the Golgi apparatus as well as endogenous modulators (e.g. cADPR and channel binding proteins) will be considered.

Abstract
The sarco/endoplasmic reticulum (SR/ER) is the primary storage and release site of intracellular calcium (Ca2+) in many excitable cells. The SR is a tubular network, which in smooth muscle (SM) cells distributes close to cellular periphery (superficial SR) and in deeper aspects of the cell (deep SR). Recent attention has focused on the regulation of cell function by the superficial SR, which can act as a buffer and also as a regulator of membrane channels and transporters. Ca2+ is released from the SR via two types of ionic channels [ryanodine- and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-gated], whereas accumulation from thecytoplasm occurs exclusively by an energy-dependent sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase pump (SERCA). Within the SR, Ca2+ is bound to various storage proteins. Emerging evidence also suggests that the perinuclear portion of the SR may play an important role in nuclear transcription. In this review, we detail the pharmacology of agents that alter the functions of Ca2+ release channels and of SERCA. We describe their use and selectivity and indicate the concentrations used in investigating various SM preparations. Important aspects of cell regulation and excitation-contractile activity coupling in SM have been uncovered through the use of such activators and inhibitors of processes that determine SR function. Likewise, they were instrumental in the recent finding of an interaction of the SR with other cellular organelles such as mitochondria. Thus, an appreciation of the pharmacology and selectivity of agents that interfere with SR function in SM has greatly assisted in unveiling the multifaceted nature of the SR.

Abstract
A rapid superfusion system measuring the amounts, kinetics, and Ca dependencies of released 45Ca, was used to examine the effects of ryanodine (RY), caffeine (CF), and cyclic ADP ribose (cADPr) on sea urchin egg homogenates. The RY-sensitive compartment had more than twice the Ca release capacity of the CF-sensitive or cADPr-sensitive compartment. cADPr-stimulated 45Ca release required calcium with half-maximal activation at approximately 0.2 to 0.6 microM [Ca2+]. K(1/2) for cADPr activation was approximately 100 nM, and in spite of the Ca requirement for cADPr-stimulated release, the cADPr affinity was not affected by [Ca2+]. Peak 45Ca release rate with cADPr (3 microM) was greater than with CF (20 mM), yet the release amounts were similar and both were [Ca2+]-dependent. When activated with CF and cADPr simultaneously, 45Ca release was large and, no longer [Ca2+]-dependent. Mg competitively inhibited the Ca activation site(s), yet did not inhibit the activation with CF-plus-cADPr. Pre-release of 45Ca by cADPr with low (approximately 0.1 microM) [Ca2+] right-shifted the [Ca2+] dependence of the remaining cADPr-response. These data suggest that (a) only a portion of RY-sensitive compartments empty when stimulated with cADPr or CF, (b) Ca and cADPr act on non-interacting sites, and (c) cADPr-sensitive compartments represent a heterogeneous population with different [Ca2+] dependencies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with chronic renal failure may develop muscle weakness and fatigability due to disorders of skeletal muscle function, collectively known as the uremic myopathy. Cyclic adenosine diphosphate-ribose (cADPR), an endogenous metabolite of beta-NAD+, activates Ca2+ release from intracellular stores in vertebrate and invertebrate cells. The current study investigated the possible role of cADPR in uremic myopathy. METHODS We have examined the effect of cADPR on myoplasmic resting Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in skeletal muscle obtained from control subjects and uremic patients (UP). [Ca2+]i was measured using double-barreled Ca2+-selective microelectrodes in muscle fibers, prior to and after microinjections of cADPR. RESULTS Resting [Ca2+]i was elevated in UP fibers compared with fibers obtained from control subjects. Removal of extracellular Ca2+, or incubation of cells with nifedipine, did not modify [Ca2+]i in UP or control fibers. Microinjection of cADPR produced an elevation of [Ca2+]i in both groups of cells. This elevation was not mediated by Ca2+ influx, or inhibited by heparin or ryanodine. [cADPR]i was determined to be higher in muscle fibers from UP compared to those from the control subjects. Incubation of cells with 8-bromo-cADPR, a cADPR antagonist, partially reduced [Ca2+]i in UP muscle fibers and blocked the cADPR-elicited elevation in [Ca2+]i in both groups of muscle cells. CONCLUSION Skeletal muscles of the UP exhibit chronic elevation of [Ca2+]i that can be partially reduced by application of 8-bromo-cADPR. cADPR was able to mobilize Ca2+ from intracellular stores, by a mechanism that is independent of ryanodine or inositol trisphosphate receptors. It can be postulated that an alteration in the cADPR-signaling pathway may exist in skeletal muscle of the patients suffering from uremic myopathy.

Abstract
Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) is an endogenous Ca(2+)-mobilizing second messenger in many cell types and organisms. Although the biological activity of several modified analogues of cADPR has been analyzed, most of these structures were still very similar to the original molecule. Recently, we have introduced simplified analogues in which the northern ribose (N(1)-linked ribose) was replaced by an ether strand. Here we also demonstrate that the southern ribose (N(9)-linked ribose) can be replaced by an ether strand resulting in N(1)-[(phosphoryl-O-ethoxy)-methyl]-N(9)-[(phosphoryl-O-ethoxy)-methyl]-hypoxanthinecyclic pyrophosphate (cIDP-DE). This minimal structural analogue of cyclic ADP-ribose released Ca(2+) from intracellular stores of permeabilized Jurkat T lymphocytes. In intact T lymphocytes initial subcellular Ca(2+) release events, global Ca(2+) release, and subsequent global Ca(2+) entry were observed. Cardiac myocytes freshly prepared from mice responded to cIDP-DE by increased recruitment of localized Ca(2+) signals and by global Ca(2+) waves.

Abstract
To elucidate whether myocardial CD38/cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) signaling plays a physiological role, we investigated the heart of CD38 knockout mice (CD38KO). In CD38KO, the myocardial cADPR content was reduced by 85% compared with wild-type mice (WT). Cardiac hypertrophy developed only in males. At 36 degrees C, none of the parameters for Ca(2+) transients and forces of the papillary muscles differed between WT and CD38KO. In contrast, at 27 degrees C, at which cADPR does not work, the peak [Ca(2+)](i) was increased and the decline in [Ca(2+)](i) was accelerated in CD38KO compared with WT. In CD38KO, the protein expression of SR Ca(2+) ATPase type2 (SERCA2) and the SERCA2-to-phospholamban ratio were increased compared with WT. The ryanodine receptor protein was increased only in female CD38KO compared with WT. These data suggest that the CD38/cADPR signaling plays an important role in intracellular Ca(2+) homeostasis in cardiac myocytes in vivo. Its deficiency was compensated differentially according to gender.

Abstract
Ca2+ release via ryanodine receptors (RyRs) is vital in cell signalling and regulates diverse activities such as gene expression and excitation-contraction coupling. Cyclic ADP ribose (cADPR), a proposed modulator of RyR activity, releases Ca2+ from the intracellular store in sea urchin eggs but its mechanism of action in other cell types is controversial. In this study, caged cADPR was used to examine the effect of cADPR on Ca2+ signalling in single voltage-clamped smooth muscle cells that have RyR but lack FKBP12.6, a proposed target for cADPR. Although cADPR released Ca2+ in sea urchin eggs (a positive control), it failed to alter global or subsarcolemma [Ca2+]c, to cause Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release or to enhance caffeine responses in colonic myocytes. By contrast, caffeine (an accepted modulator of RyR) was effective in these respects. The lack of cADPR activity on Ca2+ release was unaffected by the introduction of recombinant FKBP12.6 into the myocytes. Indeed in western blots, using brain membrane preparations as a source of FKBP12.6, cADPR did not bind to FKBPs, although FK506 was effective. However, cADPR increased and its antagonist 8-bromo-cADPR slowed the rate of Ca2+ removal from the cytoplasm. The evidence indicates that cADPR modulates [Ca2+]c but not via RyR; the mechanism may involve the sarcolemma Ca2+ pump.

Abstract
Significant Ca(2+) release was previously noted with the activation of L-type Ca(2+) current in rat superior cerebral artery smooth muscle cells. Here we examined whether the P(2X) current that is partly carried by Ca(2+) also triggers Ca(2+) release in this preparation. Application of P(2X) agonists evoked membrane currents and concomitant Ca(2+) transients in whole cell voltage-clamped single cells. The expected increase in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) was calculated from the time-integrated P(2X) current by assuming Ca(2+) is the only charge carrier. The measured increase in [Ca(2+)](i) was plotted as a function of the expected increase in [Ca(2+)](i), and Ca(2+)-buffering power was obtained as a reciprocal of the linear fit to this relationship. Both ryanodine, a Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+)-release inhibitor, and cADP ribose, a putative activator of Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release, had no significant effects on Ca(2+)-buffering power. These results suggest that Ca(2+) influx through P(2X) receptors does not trigger significant Ca(2+) release. We then examined whether P(2X) responses influence the subsequent P(2Y) response. P(2Y) responses were characterized by measuring the rate of [Ca(2+)](i) increase obtained as the slope of the linear regression to the rising phase of the Ca(2+) transient. During simultaneous application of the P(2X) and P(2Y) agonist, the rate of [Ca(2+)](i) increase was facilitated or suppressed depending on the size of the P(2X) receptor-mediated [Ca(2+)](i) increase. Membrane depolarization close to the Ca(2+) equilibrium potential significantly promoted the rate of [Ca(2+)](i) increase. Our results suggest that the [Ca(2+)](i) increase and membrane depolarization caused by the P(2X) current may regulate the subsequent P(2Y) response.

Abstract
The ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are a family of Ca2+ release channels found on intracellular Ca2+ storage/release organelles. The RyR channels are ubiquitously expressed in many types of cells and participate in a variety of important Ca2+ signaling phenomena (neurotransmission, secretion, etc.). In striated muscle, the RyR channels represent the primary pathway for Ca2+ release during the excitation-contraction coupling process. In general, the signals that activate the RyR channels are known (e.g., sarcolemmal Ca2+ influx or depolarization), but the specific mechanisms involved are still being debated. The signals that modulate and/or turn off the RyR channels remain ambiguous and the mechanisms involved unclear. Over the last decade, studies of RyR-mediated Ca2+ release have taken many forms and have steadily advanced our knowledge. This robust field, however, is not without controversial ideas and contradictory results. Controversies surrounding the complex Ca2+ regulation of single RyR channels receive particular attention here. In addition, a large body of information is synthesized into a focused perspective of single RyR channel function. The present status of the single RyR channel field and its likely future directions are also discussed.

Abstract
The Ca(2+) mobilizing metabolite cyclic ADP-ribose has been shown to release Ca(2+) from intracellular ryanodine sensitive stores in many cells. However, the activation of the ryanodine receptor of skeletal muscle by cADP-ribose (cADPr) and its precursor and metabolite (beta-NAD(+) and ADPr) remains to be discussed. We studied the effect of ADPr on the Ca(2+) release channel of skeletal muscle RyR1 after incorporation of microsomes isolated from fast muscles of rat in planar lipid bilayers. We observed an increase in the electrophysiological activity of the channel after addition of ADPr (10 microM) at micromolar Ca(2+) concentrations, characterized by a time-lag. The increase in P(o) is mainly due to an increase in the open frequency. The long time course observed for the development of the ADPr effect may indicate that this activation induces a change in the conformation of the RyR1 channel, which increases its sensitivity to calcium.

Abstract
The calcium release channels/ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are potential/putative targets of cADPR (cyclic ADP-ribose) action in many tissue systems. In striated muscles, where RyRs predominate, cADPR action on these channels is controversial. Here cADPR modulation of cardiac and skeletal muscle RyR channels was tested. We considered factors reported as necessary for cADPR action, such as the presence of calmodulin and/or FK binding proteins (FKBPs). We found: 1) The RyR channel isoforms were insensitive to cADPR (or its metabolite NAADP [nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate]) under all conditions examined, as studied by: 1a) single channel recordings in planar lipid bilayers; 1b) macroscopic behavior of the RyRs in sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) microsomes (including crude microsome preparations likely to retain putative cADPR cofactors) at room temperature and at 37 degrees C (net energized Ca2+ uptake or passive Ca2+ leak); 2) [32P]cADPR did not bind significantly to SR microsomes; 3) cADPR did not affect FKBP association to SR membranes. We conclude that cADPR does not interact directly with RyRs or RyR-associated SR proteins. Our results under in vitro conditions suggest that c ADPR effects on Ca2+ signaling observed in vivo in mammalian striated muscle cells may reflect indirect modulation of RyRs or RyR-independent Ca2+ release systems.

Abstract
Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) are two Ca(2+) messengers derived from NAD and NADP, respectively. Although NAADP is a linear molecule, structurally distinct from the cyclic cADPR, it is synthesized by similar enzymes, ADP-ribosyl cyclase and its homolog, CD38. The crystal structure of the cyclase has been solved and its active site identified. These two novel nucleotides have now been shown to be involved in a wide range of cellular functions including: cell cycle regulation in Euglena, a protist; gene expression in plants; and in animal systems, from fertilization to neurotransmitter release and long-term depression in brain. A battery of pharmacological reagents have been developed, providing valuable tools for elucidating the physiological functions of these two novel Ca(2+) messengers. This article reviews these recent results and explores the implications of the existence of multiple Ca(2+) messengers and Ca(2+) stores in cells.

Abstract
cADP ribose (cADPR)-induced intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) responses were assessed in acutely dissociated adult rat ventricular myocytes using real-time confocal microscopy. In quiescent single myocytes, injection of cADPR (0.1-10 microM) induced sustained, concentration-dependent [Ca(2+)](i) responses ranging from 50 to 500 nM, which were completely inhibited by 20 microM 8-amino-cADPR, a specific blocker of the cADPR receptor. In myocytes displaying spontaneous [Ca(2+)](i) waves, increasing concentrations of cADPR increased wave frequency up to approximately 250% of control. In electrically paced myocytes (0.5 Hz, 5-ms duration), cADPR increased the amplitude of [Ca(2+)](i) transients in a concentration-dependent fashion, up to 150% of control. Administration of 8-amino-cADPR inhibited both spontaneous waves as well as [Ca(2+)](i) responses to electrical stimulation, even in the absence of exogenous cADPR. However, subsequent [Ca(2+)](i) responses to 5 mM caffeine were only partially inhibited by 8-amino-cADPR. In contrast, even under conditions where ryanodine receptor (RyR) channels were blocked with ryanodine, high cADPR concentrations still induced an [Ca(2+)](i) response. These results indicate that in cardiac myocytes, cADPR induces Ca(2+) release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum through both RyR channels and via mechanisms independent of RyR channels.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are often shown to damage cellular functions. The targets of oxidative damage depend on the nature of ROS produced and the site of generation. In contrast, ROS can also regulate signal transduction. In this case, ROS may either induce or enhance events, which lead to forward directions of cellular signaling. The consequences of regulation of signal transduction can be observed in physiological processes such as muscle contraction. Here, we discuss the concentration-dependent effects of superoxide anion radical (*O2-) on Ca2+ release from the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Recent studies suggest that the ADP-ribosyl cyclase pathway, through its production of cyclic adenosine 5'-diphosphoribose (cADPR), may control Ca2+ mobilization in cardiac muscle cells. *O2- has dual effects that are concentration dependent. At low concentrations (nearly nanomolar levels), *O2- induces Ca2+ release by stimulating synthesis of cADPR, which requires calmodulin for sensitization of ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+-release channels (RyRC). At these low concentrations, *O2- is responsible for regulation of cellular signal transduction. At higher concentrations (micromolar levels), *O2- produces a loss in the function of calmodulin that is to inhibit RyRC. This results in an increase in Ca2+ release, which is linked to cell injury. The difference in the functions of low and high concentrations of *O2- may result in two distinct physiological roles in cardiac muscle Ca2+ signaling.

Abstract
The transverse tubules are highly specialized invaginations of the cardiac sarcolemmal membrane involved in excitation-contraction (EC) coupling. Several proteins directly involved in EC coupling have been shown to reside either in the transverse tubular membrane or in closely associated structures. With the use of immunofluorescence microscopy, we have found that G(S) and adenylyl cyclase, key elements in the beta-adrenergic signal transduction cascade, are essentially homogeneously distributed throughout the transverse tubular network of isolated rat ventricular myocytes. G(S), in particular, was much more abundant within the transverse tubular membrane than in the peripheral sarcolemma. Furthermore, both proteins are also present in the intercalated disk region. The location of these elements of the cAMP-signaling cascade within a few micrometers of every inotropic target suggests that control and action of this second messenger are quite local. Furthermore, a similar distribution is likely for negatively inotropic receptor systems that oppose G(S)-linked receptors at the level of adenylyl cyclase. Thus, in addition to their role in EC coupling, transverse tubules appear to be the primary site for signaling by inotropic agents.

Abstract
The ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are large intracellular calcium release channels that play an important role in the control of the calcium levels in excitable and non-excitable cells. Many endogenous modulators such as Mg2+, ATP, or calmodulin can affect the channel activities of the three known mammalian RyR isoforms. RyRs also are known to be redox-responsive. However, the molecular basis and the physiological relevance of redox modulation of RyRs are unclear. Recent evidence suggests that nitric oxide (NO) and related molecules may be endogenous regulators of the skeletal and cardiac muscle RyRs. The two tissues express nitric oxide synthases (NOSs), and NO or NO-related species have been shown to affect Ca2+ release channel activities directly via covalent modifications of thiol groups. Both an oxidative and a nitrosative modification of RyRs have been described, leading to either a reversible or irreversible alteration of RyR ion channel activity. Additional mechanisms of regulation may include cyclic GMP-dependent signaling pathways and NO modification of RyR regulatory proteins such as the surface membrane L-type Ca2+ channel. Modification of RyRs by NO may influence a variety of physiological functions such as insulin release, vasomotor control, and muscle contraction.

Abstract
The regulation of cytosolic Ca2+ homeostasis is essential for cells, and particularly for vascular smooth muscle cells. In this regulation, there is a participation of different factors and mechanisms situated at different levels in the cell, among them Ca2+ pumps play an important role. Thus, Ca2+ pump, to extrude Ca2+; Na+/Ca2+ exchanger; and different Ca2+ channels for Ca2+ entry are placed in the plasma membrane. In addition, the inner and outer surfaces of the plasmalemma possess the ability to bind Ca2+ that can be released by different agonists. The sarcoplasmic reticulum has an active role in this Ca2+ regulation; its membrane has a Ca2+ pump that facilitates luminal Ca2+ accumulation, thus reducing the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration. This pump can be inhibited by different agents. Physiologically, its activity is regulated by the protein phospholamban; thus, when it is in its unphosphorylated state such a Ca2+ pump is inhibited. The sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane also possesses receptors for 1,4,5-inositol trisphosphate and ryanodine, which upon activation facilitates Ca2+ release from this store. The sarcoplasmic reticulum and the plasmalemma form the superficial buffer barrier that is considered as an effective barrier for Ca2+ influx. The cytosol possesses different proteins and several inorganic compounds with a Ca2+ buffering capacity. The hypothesis of capacitative Ca2+ entry into smooth muscle across the plasma membrane after intracellular store depletion and its mechanisms of inhibition and activation is also commented.

Abstract
Calcium release channels, known also as ryanodine receptors (RyRs), play an important role in Ca2+ signaling in muscle and nonmuscle cells by releasing Ca2+ from intracellular stores. Mammalian tissues express three different RyR isoforms comprising four 560-kDa (RyR polypeptide) and four 12-kDa (FK506 binding protein) subunits. The large protein complexes conduct monovalent and divalent cations and are capable of multiple interactions with other molecules. The latter include small diffusible endogenous effector molecules including Ca2+, Mg2+, adenine nucleotides, sufhydryl modifying reagents (glutathione, NO, and NO adducts) and lipid intermediates, and proteins such as protein kinases and phosphatases, calmodulin, immunophilins (FK506 binding proteins), and in skeletal muscle the dihydropyridine receptor. Because of their role in regulating intracellular Ca2+ levels and their multiple ligand interactions, RyRs constitute an important, potentially rich pharmacological target for controlling cellular functions. Exogenous effectors found to affect RyR function include ryanoids, toxins, xanthines, anthraquinones, phenol derivatives, adenosine and purinergic agonists and antagonists, NO donors, oxidizing reagents, dantrolene, local anesthetics, and polycationic reagents.

Abstract
1. Immunoblot analysis, [3H]ryanodine binding, and planar lipid bilayer techniques were used to identify and characterize the functional properties of ryanodine receptors (RyRs) from Lytechinus pictus and Strongylocentrotus purpuratus sea urchin eggs. 2. An antibody against mammalian skeletal RyRs identified an approximately 400 kDa band in the cortical microsomes of sea urchin eggs while a cardiac-specific RyR antibody failed to recognize this protein. [3H]Ryanodine binding to cortical microsomes revealed the presence of a high-affinity (Kd = 13 nM), saturable (maximal density of receptor sites, Bmax = 1.56 pmol (mg protein)-1) binding site that exhibited a biphasic response to Ca2+. 3. Upon reconstitution of cortical microsomes into lipid bilayers, only sparse and unstable openings of a high-conductance cation channel were detected. Addition of crude sea urchin egg homogenate to the cytosolic (cis side) of the channel increased the frequency of openings and stabilized channel activity. The homogenate-activated channels were Ca2+ sensitive, selective for Ca2+ over Cs+, and driven by ryanodine into a long-lived subconductance state that represented approximately 40 % of the full conductance level. Homogenate dialysed in membranes with a molecular weight cut-off <= 2000 lacked the capacity to increase the frequency of RyR openings and to stabilize channel activity. 4. Direct application of cyclic adenosine diphosphoribose (cADPR) or photolysis of NPE-cADPR ('caged' cADPR) by ultraviolet laser pulses produced transient activation of sea urchin egg RyRs. Calmodulin (CaM) failed to activate reconstituted RyRs; however, channel activity was inhibited by the CaM blocker trifluoroperazine, suggesting that CaM was necessary but not sufficient to sustain RyR activity. 5. These findings suggest that a functional Ca2+ release unit in sea urchin eggs is a complex of several molecules, one of which corresponds to a protein functionally similar to mammalian RyRs.

Abstract
This review discusses the mechanism and regulation of Ca release from the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum. Ca is released through the Ca release channel or ryanodine receptor (RyR) by the process of calcium-induced Ca release (CICR). The trigger for this release is the L-type Ca current with a small contribution from Ca entry on the Na-Ca exchange. Recent work has shown that CICR is controlled at the level of small, local domains consisting of one or a small number of L-type Ca channels and associated RyRs. Ca efflux from the s.r. in one such unit is seen as a 'spark' and the properties of these sparks produce controlled Ca release from the s.r. A major factor controlling the amount of Ca released from the s.r. and therefore the magnitude of the systolic Ca transient is its Ca content. The Ca content depends on both the properties of the s.r. and the cytoplasmic Ca concentration. Changes of s.r. Ca content and the Ca released affect the sarcolemmal Ca and Na-Ca exchange currents and this acts to control cell Ca loading and the s.r. Ca content. The opening probability of the RyR can be regulated by various physiological mediators as well as pharmacological compounds. However, it is shown that, due to compensatory changes of s.r. Ca, modifiers of the RyR only produce transient effects on systolic Ca. We conclude that, although the RyR can be regulated, of much greater importance to the control of Ca efflux from the s.r. are effects due to changes of s.r. Ca content.

Abstract
We examined the role of beta 2-adrenergic receptors (ARs) in modulating calcium homeostasis in rat ventricular myocytes. Zinterol (10 microM), an agonist with a 25-fold greater affinity for beta 2-ARs over beta 1-ARs, modestly enhanced L-type calcium current (ICa) magnitude by approximately 30% and modestly accelerated the rate of Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]) decline (approximately 35%) but had little effect on the magnitude of the [Ca2+] transient (a nonsignificant 6% increase). However, 1 microM of the highly selective beta 1-AR antagonist CGP-20712A completely blocked the ICa increase induced by 10 microM zinterol. Pretreatment of cells with pertussis toxin (PTX) did not alter ICa enhancement by 10 microM zinterol, although it did abolish the ability of acetylcholine to block the forskolin-induced enhancement of ICa. Zinterol (10 microM) approximately doubled adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) accumulation, although one-half of this increase was blocked by CGP-20712A. In contrast, 1 microM of the nonselective beta-agonist isoproterenol increased cAMP production 15-fold. Thus we found no evidence that activation of beta 2-ARs modulates calcium homeostasis in rat ventricular myocytes, even after treatment with PTX.

Abstract
1. Presynaptic injection of cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR), a modulator of the ryanodine receptor, increased the postsynaptic response evoked by a presynaptic spike at an identified cholinergic synapse in the buccal ganglion of Aplysia californica. 2. The statistical analysis of long duration postsynaptic responses evoked by square depolarizations of the voltage-clamped presynaptic neurone showed that the number of evoked acetylcholine (ACh) quanta released was increased following cADPR injection. 3. Overloading the presynaptic neurone with cADPR led to a transient increase of ACh release followed by a depression. 4. cADPR injections did not modify the presynaptic Ca2+ current triggering ACh release. 5. Ca2+ imaging with the fluorescent dye rhod-2 showed that cADPR injection rapidly increased the free intracellular Ca2+ concentration indicating that the effects of cADPR on ACh release might be related to Ca2+ release from intracellular stores. 6. Ryanodine and 8-amino-cADPR, a specific antagonist of cADPR, decreased ACh release. 7. ADP-ribosyl cyclase, which cyclizes NAD+ into cADPR, was present in the presynaptic neurone as shown by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction experiments. 8. Application of NAD+, the substrate of ADP-ribosyl cyclase, increased ACh release and this effect was prevented by both ryanodine and 8-amino-cADPR. 9. These results support the view that Ca(2+)-induced Ca2+ release might be involved in the build-up of the Ca2+ concentration which triggers ACh release, and thus that cADPR might have a role in transmitter release modulation.

Abstract
Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) is a cyclic metabolite of NAD+ synthesised in cells and tissues expressing ADP-ribosyl cyclases. Although it was first discovered in sea-urchin egg extracts as a potent calcium mobilizing agent, subsequent studies have indicated that it may have a widespread action in the activation of calcium-release channels in such diverse systems as mammalian neurones, myocytes, blood cells, eggs, and plant microsomes. In this review we focus on recent work suggesting that cADPR enhances the sensitivity of ryanodine-sensitive calcium-release channels (RyRs) to activation by calcium, a phenomenon termed calcium-induced calcium release (CICR). Two roles for cADPR in calcium signaling are discussed. The first is as a classical second messenger where its levels are controlled by extracellular stimuli, and the second mode of cellular regulation is that the levels of intracellular cADPR may set the sensitivity of RyRs to activation by an influx of calcium in excitable cells. These two possible actions of cADPR are illustrated by considering the signal transduction events during the fertilization of the sea-urchin egg and the modulation of CICR during excitation-coupling in isolated guinea-pig ventricular myocytes, respectively.

Abstract
Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPr) has been shown to release intracellular Ca2+ from sea urchin eggs and a variety of vertebrate cell types, although its mechanism of action remains elusive. We employed the caged version of cADPr to study the [Ca2+] transient kinetics in intact sea urchin eggs for insights into how cADPr gates Ca2+ release. Ca2+ release triggered by photolytic production of cADPr was initially slow, with an effective delay of several hundred milliseconds before the onset of a rapid Ca2+ release phase. In contrast, Ca2+ release induced by photolysis of caged inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate was immediate in onset and roughly an order of magnitude faster. The delay before cADPr-induced Ca2+ release was eliminated when the [Ca2+] was step-elevated coincident with the photoliberation of cADPr and greatly prolonged in the presence of exogenous Ca2+ buffers. Thus, the slow onset of Ca2+ release does not reflect an intrinsically slow rate by which cADPr gates release channels. Rather, a [Ca2+] rise from resting levels is needed to achieve more than minimal cADPr activity. Full release of Ca2+ by cADPr in intact sea urchin eggs requires a positive Ca2+ feedback.
