Abstract
Rhythms of electrical activity in all regions of the heart can be influenced by a variety of intracellular membrane bound organelles. This is true both for normal pacemaker activity and for abnormal rhythms including those caused by early and delayed afterdepolarizations under pathological conditions. The influence of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) on cardiac electrical activity is widely recognized, but other intracellular organelles including lysosomes and mitochondria also contribute. Intracellular organelles can provide a timing mechanism (such as an SR clock driven by cyclic uptake and release of Ca2+, with an important influence of intraluminal Ca2+), and/or can act as a Ca2+ store involved in signalling mechanisms. Ca2+ plays many diverse roles including carrying electric current, driving electrogenic sodium-calcium exchange (NCX) particularly when Ca2+ is extruded across the surface membrane causing depolarization, and activation of enzymes which target organelles and surface membrane proteins. Heart function is also influenced by Ca2+ mobilizing agents (cADP-ribose, nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate and inositol trisphosphate) acting on intracellular organelles. Lysosomal Ca2+ release exerts its effects via calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II to promote SR Ca2+ uptake, and contributes to arrhythmias resulting from excessive beta-adrenoceptor stimulation. A separate arrhythmogenic mechanism involves lysosomes, mitochondria and SR. Interacting intracellular organelles, therefore, have profound effects on heart rhythms and NCX plays a central role. This article is part of the theme issue 'The heartbeat: its molecular basis and physiological mechanisms'.

Abstract
Ca2+ signals are probably the most common intracellular signaling cellular events, controlling an extensive range of responses in virtually all cells. Many cellular stimuli, often acting at cell surface receptors, evoke Ca2+ signals by mobilizing Ca2+ from intracellular stores. Inositol trisphosphate (IP3) was the first messenger shown to link events at the plasma membrane to release Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), through the activation of IP3-gated Ca2+ release channels (IP3 receptors). Subsequently, two additional Ca2+ mobilizing messengers were discovered, cADPR and NAADP. Both are metabolites of pyridine nucleotides, and may be produced by the same class of enzymes, ADP-ribosyl cyclases, such as CD38. Whilst cADPR mobilizes Ca2+ from the ER by activation of ryanodine receptors (RyRs), NAADP releases Ca2+ from acidic stores by a mechanism involving the activation of two pore channels (TPCs). In addition, other pyridine nucleotides have emerged as intracellular messengers. ADP-ribose and 2'-deoxy-ADPR both activate TRPM2 channels which are expressed at the plasma membrane and in lysosomes.

Abstract
Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP), two intracellular Ca2+ mobilizing second messengers, have been recognized as a fundamental signaling mechanism regulating a variety of cell or organ functions in different biological systems. Here we reviewed the literature regarding these ADP-ribosylcyclase products in vascular cells with a major focus on their production, physiological roles, and related underlying mechanisms mediating their actions. In particular, several hot topics in this area of research are comprehensively discussed, which may help understand some of the controversial evidence provided by different studies. For example, some new models are emerging for the agonist receptor coupling of CD38 or ADP-ribosylcyclase and for the formation of an acidic microenvironment to facilitate the production of NAADP in vascular cells. We also summarized the evidence regarding the NAADP-mediated two-phase Ca2+ release with a slow Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR) and corresponding physiological relevance. The possibility of a permanent structural space between lysosomes and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), as well as the critical role of lysosome trafficking in phase 2 Ca2+ release in response to some agonists are also explored. With respect to the molecular targets of NAADP within cells, several possible candidates including SR ryanodine receptors (RyRs), lysosomal transient receptor potential-mucolipin 1 (TRP-ML1) and two pore channels (TPCs) are presented with supporting and opposing evidence. Finally, the possible role of NAADP-mediated regulation of lysosome function in autophagy and atherogenesis is discussed, which may indicate a new direction for further studies on the pathological roles of cADPR and NAADP in the vascular system.

Abstract
Antenatal steroid administration is associated with multiple cardiometabolic alterations, including hypertension; however, the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are unclear. The aim of the present study was to ascertain, in vivo, the contribution of the endothelin system to the development of hypertension in the adult offspring and the signaling pathway involved. Pregnant sheep were treated with two doses of betamethasone (n = 23) or vehicle (n = 22) at 80 days (~0.55) gestation and allowed to deliver at term. Adult sheep were chronically instrumented under general anesthesia to place vascular catheters and a femoral artery flow probe. Blood pressure and flow were recorded continuously, and femoral artery vascular resistance was calculated before and during administration of endothelin 1 (ET-1). Selective blockers (dantrolene, BQ123, niacinamide) or saline were administered simultaneously. Betamethasone-exposed animals exhibited a significant elevation in mean blood pressure (female: 98 ± 1.8 vs. 92 ± 2.1; males: 97 ± 3.4 vs. 90 ± 2.3; mmHg; P < 0.05). ET-1 elicited a significant increase in blood pressure (F = 56.4; P < 0.001) and in vascular resistance (F = 44.3; P < 0.001) in all groups. A betamethasone effect in the vascular resistance response to ET-1 (F = 25.7; P < 0.001) was present in females only, and the effect was partially blunted by niacinamide (F = 6.6; P < 0.01). Combined administration of niacinamide and BQ123, as well as of dantrolene abolished the betamethasone effect on vascular resistance. No significant differences in mRNA expression of ET(A) or ET(B) in endothelial or smooth muscle cells of resistance-size arteries were observed. We conclude that the betamethasone effect on vascular resistance is mediated by an enhanced response to ET-1 through ET(A) receptor via the cyclic ADPR/ryanodine pathway.

Abstract
We examined the protective effects of the immunosuppressants cyclosporin A (CsA) and FK506 on abnormal cytosolic Ca²⁺ ([Ca²⁺]c) and mitochondrial Ca²⁺ concentration ([Ca²⁺]m) dynamics induced by ischemia or high L-glutamate concentration in mouse brain slice preparations. We used fura-4F and rhod-2 as indicators for [Ca²⁺]c and [Ca²⁺]m, respectively, in their acetoxymethylester form. Slice preparations loaded with either of these two indicators were exposed to ischemic artificial cerebrospinal fluid (oxygen- and glucose-deprived medium) for 12 min or to aerobic medium with high L-glutamate concentration (isotonic 20 mM L-glutamate) for 5 min. CsA (1 - 10 μM) showed significant protective effects on the maximum increase in ischemia-induced [Ca²⁺]c and [Ca²⁺]m. FK506 (10 μM) showed significant protective effects on the [Ca²⁺]m increase, but not on the ischemia-induced [Ca²⁺]c increase. Both immunosuppressants showed almost equal protective effects on the [Ca²⁺]c and [Ca²⁺]m increases induced by high L-glutamate concentration. These results suggest that the protective effects of CsA and FK506 on Ca²⁺ overloading may be dependent upon the common pharmacological sites of actions relating to their effects as immunosuppressants. The small, but significant depressant effects of these drugs could give us important clues for rescuing critical brain damage induced by Ca²⁺ overloading.

Abstract
Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) are Ca(2+)-mobilizing nucleotides that were discovered in the late 1980s. Two decades of investigations have built up a considerable understanding about these two molecules that are related because both are derived from pyridine nucleotides and known to be generated by CD38/ADP-ribosyl cyclases. cADPR has been shown to target the ryanodine receptors in the endoplasmic reticulum whereas NAADP stimulates the two-pore channels in the endo-lysosomes. Accumulating results indicate that cADPR and NAADP are second messenger molecules mediating Ca(2+) signaling activated by a wide range of agonists. This article reviews what is known about these two molecules, especially regarding their signaling roles in the pancreatic cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND INFORMATION The FKBPs (FK506-binding proteins) belong to a ubiquitous family of proteins that are found in a wide range of taxonomic groups. These proteins participate in a variety of pathways, including protein folding, down-regulation of T-cell activation and inhibition of cell-cycle progression. RESULTS A cDNA encoding the 12 kDa FKBP gene orthologue (FKBP12) in Bombyx mori was been isolated from both Bm-5 cultured cells and silk-gland tissue. Using the FKBP12 cDNA in combination with the B. mori 6x whole-genome shotgun database, we were able to identify the FKBP12 gene, as well as the positions of its intron-exon junctions. CONCLUSIONS FKBP12 exon sizes and intronic positions are highly conserved among FKBP12 orthologues in 24 diverse genomes. Comparison of 41 FKBP12 genes revealed several intronic insertion and deletion events throughout evolution. In addition, paralogous FKBP12 isoforms were identified in all 12 vertebrate genomes. Both structural and phylogenetics analyses suggest that the isoforms may be evolving independently, possibly due to the distinct functional roles played by each paralogue.

Abstract
The concept advanced by Berridge and colleagues that intracellular Ca(2+)-stores can be mobilized in an agonist-dependent and messenger (IP(3))-mediated manner has put Ca(2+)-mobilization at the center stage of signal transduction mechanisms. During the late 1980s, we showed that Ca(2+)-stores can be mobilized by two other messengers unrelated to inositol trisphosphate (IP(3)) and identified them as cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR), a novel cyclic nucleotide from NAD, and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP), a linear metabolite of NADP. Their messenger functions have now been documented in a wide range of systems spanning three biological kingdoms. Accumulated evidence indicates that the target of cADPR is the ryanodine receptor in the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum, while that of NAADP is the two pore channel in endolysosomes.As cADPR and NAADP are structurally and functionally distinct, it is remarkable that they are synthesized by the same enzyme. They are thus fraternal twin messengers. We first identified the Aplysia ADP-ribosyl cyclase as one such enzyme and, through homology, found its mammalian homolog, CD38. Gene knockout in mice confirms the important roles of CD38 in diverse physiological functions from insulin secretion, susceptibility to bacterial infection, to social behavior of mice through modulating neuronal oxytocin secretion. We have elucidated the catalytic mechanisms of the Aplysia cyclase and CD38 to atomic resolution by crystallography and site-directed mutagenesis. This article gives a historical account of the cADPR/NAADP/CD38-signaling pathway and describes current efforts in elucidating the structure and function of its components.

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.

Abstract
Hypoxia causes a large increase in [Ca2+]i and attendant contraction in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs), but not in systemic artery SMCs. The different responses meet the respective functional needs in these two distinct vascular myocytes; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms are not well known. We and other investigators have provided extensive evidence to reveal that voltage-dependent K+ (KV) channels, canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) channels, ryanodine receptor Ca2+ release channels (RyRs), cyclic adenosine diphosphate-ribose, FK506 binding protein 12.6, protein kinase C, NADPH oxidase and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are the essential effectors and signaling intermediates in the hypoxic increase in [Ca2+]i in PASMCs and HPV, but they may not primarily underlie the diverse cellular responses in pulmonary and systemic vascular myocytes. Hypoxia significantly increases mitochondrial ROS generation in PASMCs, which can induce intracellular Ca2+ release by opening RyRs, and may also cause extracellular Ca2+ influx by inhibiting KV channels and activating TRPC channels, leading to a large increase in [Ca2+]i in PASMCs and HPV. In contrast, hypoxia has no or a minor effect on mitochondrial ROS generation in systemic SMCs, thereby causing no change or a negligible increase in [Ca2+]i and contraction. Further preliminary work indicates that Rieske iron-sulfur protein in the mitochondrial complex III may perhaps serve as a key initial molecular determinant for the hypoxic increase in [Ca2+]i in PASMCs and HPV, suggesting its potential important role in different cellular changes to respond to hypoxic stimulation in pulmonary and systemic artery myocytes. All these findings have greatly improved our understanding of the molecular processes for the differential hypoxic Ca2+ and contractile responses in vascular SMCs from distinct pulmonary and systemic circulation systems.

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
FK506 (tacrolimus) and polyketide macrolides such as rapamycin and its derivates bind to FK506-binding proteins (FKBPs). These proteins display a peptidyl-prolyl rotamase function that is believed to catalyze protein folding and they are well-validated anti-proliferative drug targets in certain pathogenic microorganisms, and their functions have been characterized in parasitic protozoa. However, much less is known in helminths and trials with rapalogs on cestoda have not yet been reported. Due to a growing need for new treatment options for human cystic echinococcosis, the in vitro efficacy of rapalogs in Echinococcus granulosus was investigated. We determined the effect of ramapycin, FK506 and everolimus against this cestode, demonstrating their protoscolicidal ability. Also, we observed synergic scolicidal actions during combined therapy with rapalogs plus cyclosporine A, proposing dual administration of drugs to improve pharmacological effects in vivo. We have identified an E. granulosus (Eg)-fkb1 gene that encodes Eg-FKBP, an archetypal protein of the FKBP family, which includes all residues implicated in the binding of pharmacological ligands, in the enzymatic activity and in interactions with possible target proteins. Levels of Eg-fkb1 mRNA are over-expressed by acid but not rapalog treatment. We also described the presence of receptor-operated calcium channels in the larval stage, suggesting that exogenous ligands may dissociate the interaction of Eg-FKBP from these intracellular channels, enhancing the activity of the Ca(2+) release and interfering with their normal regulatory functions. As rapamycin sensitivity is the major criterion used to detect targets of rapamycin kinase, we identified and analyzed in silico critical residues of putative homologs in the Echinococcus genome. These preliminary results will allow us to continue subsequent studies that could reveal the precise intracellular functions of Eg-FKBP, providing greater knowledge for further identification of downstream target proteins, a promising target for chemotherapy of cystic echinococcosis.

Abstract
Intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization plays an important role in a wide variety of cellular processes, and multiple second messengers are responsible for mediating intracellular Ca(2+) changes. Here we explored the role of one endogenous Ca(2+)-mobilizing nucleotide, cyclic adenosine diphosphoribose (cADPR), in the proliferation and differentiation of neurosecretory PC12 cells. We found that cADPR induced Ca(2+) release in PC12 cells and that CD38 is the main ADP-ribosyl cyclase responsible for the acetylcholine (ACh)-induced cADPR production in PC12 cells. In addition, the CD38/cADPR signaling pathway is shown to be required for the ACh-induced Ca(2+) increase and cell proliferation. Inhibition of the pathway, on the other hand, accelerated nerve growth factor (NGF)-induced neuronal differentiation in PC12 cells. Conversely, overexpression of CD38 increased cell proliferation but delayed NGF-induced differentiation. Our data indicate that cADPR plays a dichotomic role in regulating proliferation and neuronal differentiation of PC12 cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The global disparity in cancer incidence remains a major public health problem. We focused on prostate cancer since microscopic disease in men is common, but the incidence of clinical disease varies more than 100 fold worldwide. Ca(2+) signaling is a central regulator of cell proliferation, but has received little attention in cancer prevention. We and others have reported a strong dose-dependent reduction in the incidence of prostate and lung cancer within populations exposed to boron (B) in drinking water and food; and in tumor and cell proliferation in animal and cell culture models. METHODS/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We examined the impact of B on Ca(2+) stores using cancer and non-cancer human prostate cell lines, Ca(2+) indicators Rhod-2 AM and Indo-1 AM and confocal microscopy. In DU-145 cells, inhibition of Ca(2+) release was apparent following treatment with Ringers containing RyR agonists cADPR, 4CmC or caffeine and respective levels of BA (50 microM), (1, 10 microM) or (10, 20, 50,150 microM). Less aggressive LNCaP cancer cells required 20 microM BA and the non-tumor cell line PWR1E required 150 microM BA to significantly inhibit caffeine stimulated Ca(2+) release. BA (10 microM) and the RyR antagonist dantroline (10 microM) were equivalent in their ability to inhibit ER Ca(2+) loss. Flow cytometry and confocal microscopy analysis showed exposure of DU-145 cells to 50 microM BA for 1 hr decreased stored [Ca(2+)] by 32%. CONCLUSION/SIGNIFICANCE We show B causes a dose dependent decrease of Ca(2+) release from ryanodine receptor sensitive stores. This occurred at BA concentrations present in blood of geographically disparate populations. Our results suggest higher BA blood levels lower the risk of prostate cancer by reducing intracellular Ca(2+) signals and storage.

Abstract
Ca(2+) regulates a multitude of cellular processes and does so by partitioning its actions in space and time. In this review, we discuss how Ca(2+) responses are constructed from small quantal (elementary) events that have the potential to propagate to produce large pan-cellular responses. We review how Ca(2+) is compartmentalized both physically and functionally, and describe how each organelle has its own distinct Ca(2+)-handling properties. We explain how coordination of the movement of Ca(2+) between organelles is used to shape and hone Ca(2+) signals. Finally, we provide a number of specific examples of where compartmentation and localization of Ca(2+) are crucial to cell function.

Abstract
The body of literature characterizing cyclic adenosine diphosphoribose (cADPR) and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) as Ca2+-mobilizing second messengers is growing apace. However, their unique properties may, for the uninitiated, make them difficult to work with. This article reviews many of the available techniques (and associated pitfalls) for investigating these nucleotide messengers, predominantly focusing upon optical techniques using fluorescent reporters to measure Ca2+ in the cytosol as well as Ca2+ or pH within the lumen of intracellular organelles.

Abstract
The FK506-binding proteins (FKBPs) are a unique group of chaperones found in a wide variety of organisms. They perform a number of cellular functions including protein folding, regulation of cytokines, transport of steroid receptor complexes, nucleic acid binding, histone assembly, and modulation of apoptosis. These functions are mediated by specific domains that adopt distinct tertiary conformations. Using the Threading/ASSEmbly/Refinement (TASSER) approach, tertiary structures were predicted for a total of 45 FKBPs in 23 species. These models were compared with previously characterized FKBP solution structures and the predicted structures were employed to identify groups of homologous proteins. The resulting classification may be utilized to infer functional roles of newly discovered FKBPs. The three-dimensional conformations revealed that this family may have undergone several modifications throughout evolution, including loss of N- and C-terminal regions, duplication of FKBP domains as well as insertions of entire functional motifs. Docking simulations suggest that additional sequence segments outside FKBP domains may modulate the binding affinity of FKBPs to immunosuppressive drugs. The docking models also indicate the presence of a helix-loop-helix (HLH) region within a subset of FKBPs, which may be responsible for the interaction between this group of proteins and nucleic acids.

Abstract
Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR), accumulated in pancreatic beta-cells in response to elevated ATP levels after glucose stimulation, mobilizes Ca(2+) from the endoplasmic reticulum through the ryanodine receptor (RyR) and thereby induces insulin secretion. We have recently demonstrated in an in vitro study that cADPR activates RyR through binding to FK506-binding protein 12.6 (FKBP12.6), an accessory protein of RyR. Here we generated FKBP12.6-deficient (FKBP12.6(-/-)) mice by homologous recombination. FKBP12.6(-/-) mice showed glucose intolerance coupled to insufficient insulin secretion upon a glucose challenge. Insulin secretion in response to glucose was markedly impaired in FKBP12.6(-/-) islets, while sulfonylurea- or KCl-induced insulin secretion was unaffected. No difference was found in the glucose oxidation rate between FKBP12.6(-/-) and wild-type islets. These results indicate that FKBP12.6 plays a role in glucose-induced insulin secretion downstream of ATP production, independently of ATP-sensitive K(+) channels, in pancreatic beta-cells.

Abstract
Although cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR), a novel Ca(2+)-mobilizing mediator, is suggested to be involved in the functions of neutrophils in rodents, its role in human neutrophils remains unclear. The present study examined the ability of cADPR to mobilize Ca(2+) and mediate formyl methionyl leucyl phenylalanine (fMLP)-stimulated increase in cytosolic free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) and migration in human neutrophils. cADPR induced Ca(2+) release from digitonin-permeabilized neutrophils, and the release was blocked by 8Br-cADPR, an antagonist of cADPR. Immunophilin ligands, FK506 and rapamycin, but not cyclosporine A, inhibited cADPR-induced Ca(2+) release. 8Br-cADPR partially reduced fMLP-induced [Ca(2+)](i) rise and abolished the rise in combination with 2APB, an IP(3)-receptor antagonist. Anti-CD38Ab and NADase that interfere with cADPR formation, reduced the fMLP-induced [Ca(2+)](i) rise. When beta-NAD(+), a substrate of ADP-ribosyl cyclase, and cADPR were added to the medium, the former gradually increased [Ca(2+)](i) and the latter potentiated the fMLP-induced [Ca(2+)](i) rise. The beta-NAD(+)-induced [Ca(2+)](i) rise in Ca(2+)-free medium was inhibited by anti-CD38Ab, 8Br-cADPR, FK506, ruthenium red, and thapsigargin. mRNAs of nucleoside transporter (NT), ENT1, ENT2, CNT, and CNT3 were expressed in neutrophils; and their inhibitors, inosine, uridine, and s-(4-nitrobenzyl)-6-thioinosine, reduced the [Ca(2+)](i) rise induced by beta-NAD(+) and fMLP. fMLP-timulated migration was inhibited by the removal of Ca(2+) from the medium or by the addition of 8Br-cADPR, anti-CD38Ab, NADase, and NT inhibitors. These results suggest that cADPR was synthesized extracellularly by CD38, transported into the cells through NTs, and then Ca(2+) was mobilized by FK506-binding protein-dependent process. This process may be involved in fMLP-induced intracellular Ca(2+) signaling and migration in human neutrophils.

Abstract
Resveratrol, a natural polyphenolic antioxidant, has been reported to possess the cancer chemopreventive potential in wide range by means of triggering tumor cells apoptosis through various pathways. It induced apoptosis through the activation of the mitochondrial pathway in some kinds of cells. In the present reports, we showed that resveratrol-induced HepG2 cell apoptosis and mitochondrial dysfunction was dependent on the induction of the mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT), because resveratrol caused the collapse of the mitochondrial membrane potential (DeltaPsi(m)) with the concomitant release of cytochrome c (Cyt.c). In addition, resveratrol induced a rapid and sustained elevation of intracellular [Ca(2+)], which compromised the mitochondrial DeltaPsi(m) and triggered the process of HepG2 cell apoptosis. In permeabilized HepG2 cells, we further demonstrated that the effect of the resveratrol was indeed synergistic with that of Ca(2+) and Ca(2+) is necessary for resveratrol-induced MPT opening. Calcium-induced calcium release from mitochondria (mCICR) played a key role in mitochondrial dysfunction and cell apoptosis: (1) mCICR inhibitor, ruthenium red (RR), prevent MPT opening and Cyt.c release; and (2) RR attenuated resveratrol-induced HepG2 cell apoptotic death. Furthermore, resveratrol promotes MPT opening by lowering Ca(2+)-threshold. These data suggest modifying mCICR and Ca(2+) threshold to modulate MPT opening may be a potential target to control cell apoptosis induced by resveratrol.

Abstract
Cytokines are protein messengers that act to modulate the differentiation or activation of their target cells. Bone marrow macrophages can become activated tissue macrophages, dendritic cells, or osteoclasts depending on to which cytokines they are exposed. However, one cytokine can often induce divergent outcomes, suggesting that other signals are needed to establish the specificity of the result. We hypothesize that these signals may derive from the local environment and serve to prime cells to respond toward a specific outcome. Here, it is shown that the cytokine TNF-alpha is capable of affecting the fate of macrophages by upregulating the NADase CD38. CD38 upregulation primes macrophages, such that signals induced by inflammatory stimuli are augmented, while those leading to osteoclast formation are inhibited. We show that TNF-alpha-induced CD38 expression negatively affects the expression of osteoclast markers, while it enhances inflammatory gene expression by decreasing ERK1/2 phosphorylation and increasing NF-kappaB activation. Furthermore, it is shown that CD38 may reduce osteoclastogenesis and increase inflammatory gene induction by decreasing cellular histone deacetylase activity. These results provide a demonstration of how a cytokine can prime cells to differentiate toward a certain lineage or acquire enhanced activation characteristics. Since CD38 is an ectoenzyme, we suggest that the modulation of extracellular NAD(+) metabolism likely serves as a unique mechanism to coordinate the fate of cells within a local environment.
