Ca2+ release from the envelope of isolated pancreatic acinar nuclei could be activated by nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) as well as by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR). Each of these agents reduced the Ca2+ concentration inside the nuclear envelope, and this was associated with a transient rise in the nucleoplasmic Ca2+ concentration. NAADP released Ca2+ from the same thapsigargin-sensitive pool as IP3. The NAADP action was specific because, for example, nicotineamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate was ineffective. The Ca2+ release was unaffected by procedures interfering with acidic organelles (bafilomycin, brefeldin, and nigericin). Ryanodine blocked the Ca2+-releasing effects of NAADP, cADPR, and caffeine, but not IP3. Ruthenium red also blocked the NAADP-elicited Ca2+ release. IP3 receptor blockade did not inhibit the Ca2+ release elicited by NAADP or cADPR. The nuclear envelope contains ryanodine and IP3 receptors that can be activated separately and independently; the ryanodine receptors by either NAADP or cADPR, and the IP3 receptors by IP3.

Intracellular Ca2+ (Ca2+i) transients during fertilization are critical to the activation of eggs in all species studied. Activation of both the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor (IP3R) and ryanodine receptor (RYR) are responsible for the calcium oscillations during fertilization in sea urchin eggs. Using in vitro matured bovine oocytes loaded with Fura-2 AM ester as Ca2+i indicator, we addressed whether IP3Rs and RYRs coexist in mammalian eggs. Our results indicate that microinjection of 50–250 nM IP3 or 10–20 mM caffeine, 100–200 microM ryanodine and 4–8 microM cyclic ADP-ribose all induced Ca2+i release. The Ca2+i release induced by 250 nM IP3 could only be inhibited by prior injection of 1 mg/ml heparin which was overcome by continuous injection of IP3 to 1 microM. Prior injection of either 50 microM ruthenium red, 50 microM procaine or 1 % vehicle medium (VM) did not affect the Ca2+i release induced by IP3. Prior injection of heparin or VM did not affect the Ca2+i release induced by 10–20 mM caffeine or 200 microM ryanodine, but prior injection of 50 microM ruthenium red or procaine completely inhibited the effect of 10–20 mM caffeine. In addition, continuous injection of caffeine up to 40 mM overcame the inhibitory effect of ruthenium red or procaine. The same 50 microM concentration of ruthenium red or procaine only partially blocked the effect of 200 microM ryanodine, but 200 microM ruthenium red or procaine completely blocked the effect of 200 microM ryanodine.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Persistence of capacitative Ca2+ influx in inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor (IP3R)-deficient DT40 cells (DT40IP3R-/−) raises the question of whether gating of Ca2+-release activated Ca2+ current (Icrac) by conformational coupling to Ca2+-release channels is a general mechanism of gating of these channels. In the present work we examined the properties and mechanism of activation of Icrac Ca2+ current in wild-type and DT40IP3R-/− cells. In both cell types passive depletion of internal Ca2+ stores by infusion of EGTA activated a Ca2+ current with similar characteristics and time course. The current was highly Ca2+-selective and showed strong inward rectification, all typical of Icrac. The activator of ryanodine receptor (RyR), cADP-ribose (cADPR), facilitated activation of Icrac, and the inhibitors of the RyRs, 8-N-cADPR, ryanodine and Ruthenium Red, all inhibited Icrac activation in DT40IP3R-/− cells, even after complete depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores by ionomycin. Wild-type and DT40IP3R-/− cells express RyR isoforms 1 and 3. RyR levels were adapted in DT40IP3R-/− cells to a lower RyR3/RyR1 ratio than in wild-type cells. These results suggest that IP3Rs and RyRs can efficiently gate Icrac in DT40 cells and explain the persistence of Icrac gating by internal stores in the absence of IP3Rs.

Members of both major families of intracellular Ca2+ channels, ryanodine and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptors, are stimulated by substantial increases in cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]c). They thereby mediate Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR), which allows amplification and regenerative propagation of intracellular Ca2+ signals. In permeabilized hepatocytes, increasing [Ca2+]c to 10μM stimulated release of 30±1% of the intracellular stores within 60s; the EC50 occurred with a free [Ca2+] of 170±29nM. This CICR was abolished at 2°C. The same fraction of the stores was released by CICR before and after depletion of the IP3-sensitive stores, and CICR was not blocked by antagonists of IP3 receptors. Ryanodine, Ruthenium Red and tetracaine affected neither the Ca2+ content of the stores nor the CICR response. Sr2+ and Ba2+ (EC50 = 166nM and 28μM respectively) mimicked the effects of increased [Ca2+] on the intracellular stores, but Ni2+ blocked the passive leak of Ca2+ without blocking CICR. In rapid superfusion experiments, maximal concentrations of IP3 or Ca2+ stimulated Ca2+ release within 80ms. The response to IP3 was complete within 2s, but CICR continued for tens of seconds despite a slow [half-time (t1/2) = 3.54±0.07s] partial inactivation. CICR reversed rapidly (t1/2 = 529±17ms) and completely when the [Ca2+] was reduced. We conclude that hepatocytes express a novel temperature-sensitive, ATP-independent CICR mechanism that is reversibly activated by modest increases in [Ca2+], and does not require IP3 or ryanodine receptors or reversal of the sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic-reticulum Ca2+-ATPase. This mechanism may both regulate the Ca2+ content of the intracellular stores of unstimulated cells and allow even small intracellular Ca2+ signals to be amplified by CICR.

The properties of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)-dependent intracellular calcium oscillations in pancreatic acinar cells depend crucially on the agonist used to stimulate them. Acetylcholine or carbachol (CCh) cause high-frequency (10–12-s period) calcium oscillations that are superimposed on a raised baseline, while cholecystokinin (CCK) causes long-period (>100-s period) baseline spiking. We show that physiological concentrations of CCK induce rapid phosphorylation of the IP3 receptor, which is not true of physiological concentrations of CCh. Based on this and other experimental data, we construct a mathematical model of agonist-specific intracellular calcium oscillations in pancreatic acinar cells. Model simulations agree with previous experimental work on the rates of activation and inactivation of the IP3 receptor by calcium (DuFour, J.-F., I.M. Arias, and T.J. Turner. 1997. J. Biol. Chem. 272:2675–2681), and reproduce both short-period, raised baseline oscillations, and long-period baseline spiking. The steady state open probability curve of the model IP3 receptor is an increasing function of calcium concentration, as found for type-III IP3 receptors by Hagar et al. (Hagar, R.E., A.D. Burgstahler, M.H. Nathanson, and B.E. Ehrlich. 1998. Nature. 396:81–84). We use the model to predict the effect of the removal of external calcium, and this prediction is confirmed experimentally. We also predict that, for type-III IP3 receptors, the steady state open probability curve will shift to lower calcium concentrations as the background IP3 concentration increases. We conclude that the differences between CCh- and CCK-induced calcium oscillations in pancreatic acinar cells can be explained by two principal mechanisms: (a) CCK causes more phosphorylation of the IP3 receptor than does CCh, and the phosphorylated receptor cannot pass calcium current; and (b) the rate of calcium ATPase pumping and the rate of calcium influx from the outside the cell are greater in the presence of CCh than in the presence of CCK.

Sperm-induced activation of mammalian eggs is associated with a transient increase in Ca2+ concentrations thought to be derived from inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-sensitive and -insensitive intracellular stores. Whereas the importance of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-sensitive Ca2+ stores has been evaluated, the identity and role of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-insensitive stores are poorly understood. To explore the role of the ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+ store, we first used reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction to identify transcripts of the ryanodine receptor in eggs and determined that transcripts for the type 2 and 3 receptor were present. Immunoprecipitation of radioiodinated egg extracts with an antibody that recognizes both type 2 and 3 receptors detected specifically a band of Mr = 520,000. Immunolocalization of the receptor(s) using laser-scanning confocal microscopy revealed that the receptor(s) was uniformly distributed in the cortex of the germinal vesicle-intact oocyte, but became asymmetrically localized to the cortex in a region apposed to the meiotic spindle in the metaphase II-arrested egg; this asymmetrical localization developed by metaphase I. The role of the ryanodine receptor in mouse egg activation was examined by determining the effects of microinjected ryanodine or cyclic ADP ribose on endpoints of egg activation in either uninseminated or inseminated eggs. Ryanodine induced the conversion of the zona pellucida glycoprotein ZP2 to its postfertilization form ZP2f in a biphasic concentration-dependent manner; nanomolar concentrations stimulated this conversion, whereas micromolar concentrations had no stimulatory effect. Cyclic ADP ribose also promoted the ZP2 conversion, but with a hyperbolic concentration dependence. Neither of these compounds induced cell cycle resumption. Inhibiting the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-sensitive Ca2+ store did not inhibit the ryanodine-induced ZP2 conversion and, reciprocally, inhibiting the ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+ store did not inhibit the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-induced ZP2 conversion. Last, treatment of eggs under conditions that would block the release of Ca2+ from the ryanodine-sensitive store had no effect on any event of egg activation following fertilization. Results of these experiments suggest that although ryanodine receptors are present and functional, release of Ca2+ from this store is not essential for sperm-induced egg activation.

In the present study, effects of the nitric oxide donor, S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP), on sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ release were examined in freshly dissociated porcine tracheal smooth muscle (TSM) cells. Fura 2-loaded TSM cells were imaged using video fluorescence microscopy. SR Ca2+ release was induced by acetylcholine (ACh), which acts principally through inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptors, and by caffeine, which acts principally through ryanodine receptors (RyR). SNAP inhibited ACh-induced SR Ca2+ release at both 0 and 2.5 mM extracellular Ca2+. Degraded SNAP had no effect on ACh-induced SR Ca2+ release. SNAP also inhibited caffeine-induced SR Ca2+ release. ACh-induced Ca2+ influx was not affected by SNAP when SR reloading was blocked by thapsigargin. SNAP also did not affect SR Ca2+ reuptake. The membrane-permeant analogue of guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP), 8-bromo-cGMP, mimicked the effects of SNAP. These results suggest that, in porcine TSM cells, SNAP reduces the intracellular Ca2+ response to ACh and caffeine by inhibiting SR Ca2+ release through both IP3 and RyR, but not by inhibiting influx or repletion of the SR Ca2+ stores. These effects are likely mediated via cGMP-dependent mechanisms.

Group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (I-mGluRs) modulate numerous cellular functions such as specific membrane currents and neurotransmitter release linked to their ability to mobilize calcium from intracellular calcium stores. As such, most I-mGluR research to date has focused on the coupling of these receptors to phospholipase C (PLC)-dependent and inositol (1,4,5) trisphosphate (IP3)-mediated calcium release via activation of IP3 receptors located upon the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum. However, there are now numerous examples of PLC- and IP3-independent I-mGluR-evoked signals, which may instead be mediated by activation of ryanodine receptors (RyRs). A prime candidate for mediating this coupling between I-mGluR activation and RyR opening is cyclic ADP ribose (cADPR) and, indeed, several of these PLC-/IP3-independent I-mGluR-evoked calcium signals have now been shown to be mediated wholly or partly by cADPR-evoked activation of RyRs. The contribution of cADPR signalling to I-mGluR-mediated responses is relatively complex, dependent as it is on factors such as cell type, excitation state of the cell and location of I-mGluRs on the cell. However, these factors notwithstanding, I-mGluR-mediated cADPR signalling remains poorly characterized, with several key aspects yet to be fully elucidated such as (1) the range of stimuli which evoke cADPR production, (2) the specific molecular mechanism(s) coupling cADPR to RyR activation and (3) the contribution of cADPR-mediated responses to downstream outputs such as synaptic plasticity. Furthermore, it is possible that the cADPR pathway may play a role in diseases underpinned by dysregulated calcium homoeostasis such as Alzheimer's disease (AD).

The ability of guinea pig enteric glia to respond to endothelins was examined using fura 2-based digital microscopy in glial cells derived from guinea pig taenia coli. Each isoform of endothelin (ET-1, ET-2, ET-3) evoked dose-dependent and equipotent increases in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) and in percentage of cells responding, 4alaEt-1, an ETB receptor agonist, elicited similar [Ca2+]i increments. BQ-788, an ETB antagonist, inhibited [Ca2+]i responses to endothelin. Preincubation of glia with U-73122 a phospholipase C inhibitor, abolished the [Ca2+]i response to ET-3 exposure. Thapsigargin also eliminated ET-3-evoked Ca2+ signaling. The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor antagonist heparin, introduced into glial cells by radio frequency electroporation, blocked [Ca2+]i responses to ET-3 (100 nM) in 63% of glia. Sustained elevation in [Ca2+]i was abolished by removal of Ca2+ from the buffer and inhibited 85. -3% by Ni2+ (1 mM). Preincubation of glia with 100 nM phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (24 h) also inhibited sustained increments in [Ca2+]i by 87%. The presence of IP3 receptors in enteric glia was confirmed by immunofluorescent confocal microscopy.

Adenosine 5′-cyclic diphosphoribose [cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR)], a metabolite of NAD+ that promotes Ca2+ release from sea urchin egg homogenates and microsomal fractions, has been proposed to act as an endogenous agonist of Ca2+ release in sea urchin eggs. We describe experiments showing that a microsomal fraction isolated from Tetrapigus nyger sea urchin eggs displayed Ca2+-selective single channels with conductances of 155.0 ± 8.0 pS in asymmetric Cs+ solutions and 47.5 ± 1.1 pS in asymmetric Ca2+ solutions. These channels were sensitive to stimulation by Ca2+, ATP, and caffeine, but not inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, and were inhibited by ruthenium red. The channels were also activated by cADP-ribose in a Ca2+-dependent fashion. Calmodulin and Mg2+, but not heparin, modulated channel activity in the presence of cADP-ribose. We propose that these Ca2+ channels constitute the intracellular Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release pathway that is activated by cADP-ribose in sea urchin eggs.

Background Isoflurane induces cell apoptosis by an unknown mechanism. The authors hypothesized that isoflurane activates inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptors on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane, causing excessive calcium release, triggering apoptosis. Methods The authors determined isoflurane-induced cytotoxicity by measuring caspase-3 activity, lactate dehydrogenase release, MTS (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium, inner salt) reduction, and imaging analysis of cell damage markers (annexin V and propidium iodide staining) in different cell types. The authors used the chicken B lymphocyte with a total knock-out of IP3 receptors, PC12 cells with elevated IP3 receptor activity (transfected with L286V presenilin 1), striatal cells with a knock-in of Q111 Huntingtin, and each cell line's corresponding wild-type controls. The authors also measured the isoflurane-evoked changes of calcium concentration in cytosol and/or mitochondria in these cells. Results Isoflurane induced apoptosis concentration- and time-dependently, and sequentially elevated cytosolic and then mitochondrial calcium in the chicken B-lymphocyte wild-type but not the IP3 receptor total knock-out cells. Thapsigargin, a calcium adenosine triphosphatase inhibitor on ER membranes, induced apoptosis and elevations of calcium in cytosol and mitochondria in both chicken B-lymphocyte wild-type and IP3 receptor total knock-out cells. Isoflurane induced significantly more neurotoxicity and greater calcium release from the ER in L286V PC12 and Q111 Huntingtin striatal cells than in their corresponding wild-type controls, both of which were significantly inhibited by the IP3 receptor antagonist xestospongin C. Conclusion These findings suggest that isoflurane activates the ER membrane IP3 receptor, producing excessive calcium release and triggering apoptosis. Neurons with enhanced IP3 receptor activity, as in certain cases of familial Alzheimer or Huntington disease, may be especially vulnerable to isoflurane cytotoxicity.
