Mitochondrial DNA-depleted neuroblastoma (Rho degrees) cells exhibit altered calcium signaling

To investigate the role of chronic mitochondrial dysfunction on intracellular calcium signaling, we studied basal and stimulated cytosolic calcium levels in SH-SY5Y cells and a derived cell line devoid of mitochondrial DNA (Rho degrees ). Basal cytosolic calcium levels were slightly but significantly reduced in Rho degrees cells. The impact of chronic depletion of mitochondrial DNA was more evident following exposure of cells to carbachol, a calcium mobilizing agent. Calcium transients generated in Rho degrees cells following application of carbachol were more rapid than those in SH-SY5Y cells. A plateau phase of calcium recovery during calcium transients was present in SH-SY5Y cells but absent in Rho degrees cells. The rapid calcium transients in Rho degrees cells were due, in part, to increased reliance on Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchange activity at the plasma membrane and the plateau phase in calcium recovery in SH-SY5Y cells was dependent on the presence of extracellular calcium. We also examined whether mitochondrial DNA depletion influenced calcium responses to release of intracellular calcium stores. Rho degrees cells showed reduced responses to the uncoupler, FCCP, and the sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase inhibitor, thapsigargin. Acute exposure of SH-SY5Y cells to mitochondrial inhibitors did not mimic the results seen in Rho degrees cells. These results suggest that cytosolic calcium homeostasis in this neuron-like cell line is significantly altered as a consequence of chronic depletion of mitochondrial DNA.     

Nicotinic Receptor-Mediated Release of Noradrenaline in the Human Neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y

Abstract: Dimethylphenylpiperazinium iodide (a nicotinic agonist) evokes noradrenaline release from human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells that have been pretreated with 12- O -tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate for 8 min. This effect of dimethylphenylpiperazinium iodide was inhibited by 1 μ M mecamylamine but not by 1 μ M atropine, which suggests that SH-SY5Y cells express nicotinic receptors coupled to the release of noradrenaline. Dimethylphenylpiperazinium iodide-evoked release was enhanced by 5 μ M Bay K 8644 (an L-type calcium agonist) and inhibited by 1 μ M nifedipine. Dimethylphenylpiperazinium iodide depolarised SH-SY5Y cells and enhanced the level of intracellular calcium in cells loaded with fura 2. The effects of dimethylphenylpiperazinium iodide on noradrenaline release, depolarisation, and intracellular calcium levels were all inhibited by 1 μ M desmethylimipramine. The results of this study show that nicotinic receptors in SH-SY5Y cells stimulate noradrenaline release by activation of L-type calcium channels.     

Acid-sensing ion channels contribute to the increase in vesicular release from SH-SY5Y cells stimulated by extracellular protons

Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) have been reported to play a role in the neuronal dopamine pathway, but the exact role in neurotransmitter release remains elusive. Human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y is a dopaminergic neuronal cell line, which can release monoamine neurotransmitters. In this study, the expression of ASICs was identified in SH-SY5Y cells to further explore the role of ASICs in vesicular release stimulated by acid. We gathered evidence that ASICs could be detected in SH-SY5Y cells. In whole cell patch-clamp recording, a rapid decrease in extracellular pH evoked inward currents, which were reversibly inhibited by 100 μM amiloride. The currents were pH dependent, with a pH of half-maximal activation (pH(0.5)) of 6.01 ± 0.04. Furthermore, in calcium imaging and FM 1-43 dye labeling, it was shown that extracellular protons increased intracellular calcium levels and vesicular release in SH-SY5Y cells, which was attenuated by PcTx1 and amiloride. Interestingly, N-type calcium channel blockers inhibited the vesicular release induced by acidification. In conclusion, ASICs are functionally expressed in SH-SY5Y cells and involved in vesicular release stimulated by acidification. N-type calcium channels may be involved in the increase in vesicular release induced by acid. Our results provide a preliminary study on ASICs in SH-SY5Y cells and neurotransmitter release, which helps to further investigate the relationship between ASICs and dopaminergic neurons.     

Peptide gomesin triggers cell death through L-type channel calcium influx,MAPK/ERK,PKC and PI3K signaling and generation of reactive oxygen species

Gomesin is an antimicrobial peptide isolated from hemocytes of a common Brazilian tarantula spider named Acanthoscurria gomesiana. This peptide exerts antitumor activity in vitro and in vivo by an unknown mechanism. In this study, the cytotoxic mechanism of gomesin in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y and rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells was investigated. Gomesin induced necrotic cell death and was cytotoxic to SH-SY5Y and PC12 cells. The peptide evoked a rapid and transient elevation of intracellular calcium levels in Fluo-4-AM loaded PC12 cells, which was inhibited by nimodipine, an L-type calcium channel blocker. Preincubation with nimodipine also inhibited cell death induced by gomesin in SH-SY5Y and PC12 cells. Gomesin-induced cell death was prevented by the pretreatment with MAPK/ERK, PKC or PI3K inhibitors, but not with PKA inhibitor. In addition, gomesin generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) in SH-SY5Y cells, which were blocked with nimodipine and MAPK/ERK, PKC or PI3K inhibitors. Taken together, these results suggest that gomesin could be a useful anticancer agent, which mechanism of cytotoxicity implicates calcium entry through L-type calcium channels, activation of MAPK/ERK, PKC and PI3K signaling as well as the generation of reactive oxygen species.     

Release and sequestration of Ca2+ by a caffeine- and ryanodine-sensitive store in a sub-population of human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells

We have used single cell fluorescence imaging techniques to examine the role that ryanodine receptors play in the stimulus-induced Ca(2+) responses of SH-SY5Y cells. The muscarinic agonist methacholine (1mM) resulted in a Ca(2+) signal in 95% of all cells. Caffeine (30 mM) however stimulated a Ca(2+) signal in only 1-7% of N-type (neuroblastic) cells within any given field. The caffeine response was independent of extracellular Ca(2+), regenerative in nature, and abolished in a use-dependent fashion by ryanodine. In caffeine-responsive cells, the magnitude of the methacholine-induced Ca(2+) signal was inhibited by 75.07 +/- 5.51% by pretreatment with caffeine and ryanodine, suggesting that the caffeine-sensitive store may act as a Ca(2+) source after muscarinic stimulation. When these data were combined with equivalent data from non-caffeine-responsive cells, the degree of apparent inhibition was significantly reduced. In contrast, after store depletion by caffeine, the Ca(2+) signal induced by 55 mM K(+) was potentiated 2.5-fold in the presence of ryanodine, suggesting that the store may act a Ca(2+) sink after depolarisation. We conclude that a caffeine- and ryanodine-sensitive store can act as a Ca(2+) source and sink in SH-SY5Y cells, and that effects of the store can become obscured if data from caffeine-insensitive cells are not excluded.     

SOD3 Ameliorates Aβ<Subscript>25–35</Subscript>-Induced Oxidative Damage in SH-SY5Y Cells by Inhibiting the Mitochondrial Pathway

This study was designed to investigate the protective effects of extracellular superoxide dismutase (SOD3) against amyloid beta (Aβ_25–35)-induced damage in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells and to elucidate the mechanisms responsible for this beneficial effect. SH-SY5Y cells overexpressing SOD3 were generated by adenoviral vector-mediated infection and Aβ_25–35 was then added to the cell culture system to establish an in vitro model of oxidative stress. Cell viability, the generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), the expression and activity of antioxidant enzymes, the levels of lipid peroxidation malondialdehyde (MDA), the expression of mitochondrial apoptosis-related genes and calcium images were examined. Following Aβ_25–35 exposure, SOD3 overexpression promoted the survival of SH-SY5Y cells, decreased the production of ROS, decreased MDA and calcium levels, and decreased cytochrome c, caspase-3, caspase-9 and Bax gene expression. Furthermore, SOD3 overexpression increased the expression and activity of antioxidant enzyme genes and Bcl-2 expression. Together, our data demonstrate that SOD3 ameliorates Aβ_25–35-induced oxidative damage in neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells by inhibiting the mitochondrial pathway. These data provide new insights into the functional actions of SOD3 on oxidative stress-induced cell damage.     

Changes in functional properties of the caffeine-sensitive Ca2+ store during differentiation of human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells

We have used single cell fluorescence imaging techniques to examine how functional properties of the caffeine-sensitive Ca(2+) store change during differentiation of a sub-population of caffeine-sensitive SH-SY5Y cells. Application of caffeine (30 mM) 1-10.5 min after a 'priming' depolarisation pulse of 55 mM K(+) revealed that the caffeine-sensitive store in undifferentiated cells remained replete, whereas that in 9-cis retinoic acid (9cRA)-differentiated cells spontaneously dissipated with a t(1/2) of 2.8 min, and was essentially completely depleted approximately 10 min after priming. In 9cRA-differentiated cells that were stimulated with methacholine (10 microM) 1 min after priming, the amplitude, rate of rise and propagation velocity of the Ca(2+) wave in the neurites were all constant, whereas these kinetic parameters all progressively decreased as the wave travelled along the neurites in cells that were stimulated 10 min after priming. Use-dependent block with ryanodine inhibited the global Ca(2+) signal in 9cRA-differentiated cells stimulated with methacholine 1 min after priming (71+/-8%) but not 10 min after priming. Depolarisation was more effective at priming the caffeine-sensitive Ca(2+) store in 9cRA-differentiated cells, which lack a functional store-operated Ca(2+) entry pathway. We conclude that differentiation of caffeine-sensitive SH-SY5Y cells is accompanied by an increase in lability of the caffeine-sensitive Ca(2+) store, and that spontaneous dissipation of Ca(2+) from the store limits the time course of its molecular 'memory' during which it can amplify the hormone-induced Ca(2+) signal by Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release.     

Role of 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 and Extracellular Calcium in the Regulation of Proliferation in Cultured SH-SY5Y Human Neuroblastoma Cells

This study examines the effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D₃ [1,25(OH)₂D₃] on SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells cultured in the presence of medium containing varying concentrations of calcium (0.1, 0.9, 1.4, 1.8 mM). Pyruvate kinase activity was assayed in SH-SY5Y cells incubated in variable calcium medium with or without 1, 10 or 100 nM 1,25(OH)₂D₃ for 48 h. The enzyme levels showed a significant increase in comparison with control, when the cells were incubated with 100 nM hormone in the presence of 0.1 mM calcium, while pyruvate kinase activity decreased, when the cells were treated with 100 nM 1,25(OH)₂D₃ in the presence of 1.8 mM calcium. The proliferative activity of SH-SY5Y was dependent on the extracellular concentration of calcium, being the highest at 1.8 mM calcium and completely absent at 0.1 mM calcium. In the presence of 1,25(OH)₂D₃, at the three concentrations used and after 48 h incubation, a significant decrease in cell number was always observed, without a direct correlation between 1,25(OH)₂D₃ effect and calcium concentration in the medium. [³H]Thymidine incorporation in SH-SY5Y cells significantly increased in comparison with control, when the 48 h incubation with 1, 10 or 100 nM 1,25(OH)₂D₃ was carried out in the presence of 0.1 mM calcium, while, at the other calcium concentrations, the hormone did not cause any significant change in this parameter. The treatment of SH-SY5Y cells with 1 nM 1,25(OH)₂D₃ for 48 h did not affect cell morphology, when 0.1 mM calcium was present, while, in the medium containing 1.8 mM calcium, the treated cells showed a slight trend to differentiation. The differentiating effect of 10 M all-trans retinoic acid, even if incomplete after 48 h treatment, was only observed in the cultures grown in 1.8 mM calcium, in comparison with those maintained in 0.1 mM calcium.     

Differences in early and late responses between neurotrophin-stimulated trkA- and trkC-transfected SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells.

Despite their sympathetic neuroblast origin, highly malignant neuroblastoma tumors and derived cell lines have no or low expression of the neurotrophin receptor genes, trkA and trkC. Expression of exogenous trkA in neuroblastoma cells restores their ability to differentiate in response to nerve growth factor (NGF). Here we show that stable expression of trkC in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells resulted in morphological and biochemical differentiation upon treatment with neurotrophin-3 (NT-3). To some extent, trkA- and trkC-transfected SH-SY5Y (SH-SY5Y/trkA and SH-SY5Y/trkC) cells resembled one another in terms of early signaling events and neuronal marker gene expression, but important differences were observed. Although induced Erk 1/2 and Akt/PKB phosphorylation was stronger in NT-3-stimulated SH-Y5Y/trkC cells, activation of the immediate-early genes tested was more prominent in NGF-treated SH-SY5Y/ trkA cells. In particular, c-fos was not induced in the SH-SY5Y/trkC cells. There were also phenotypic differences. The concentrations of norepinephrine, the major sympathetic neurotransmitter, and growth cone-located synaptophysin, a neurosecretory granule protein, were increased in NGF-treated SH-SY5Y/trkA but not in NT-3-treated SH-SY5Y/trkC cells. Our data suggest that NT-3/p145trkC and NGF/p140trkA signaling differ in some aspects in neuroblasoma cells, and that this may explain the phenotypic differences seen in the long-term neurotrophin-treated cells.
