Recently, we reported that ouabain kills renal epithelial and vascular endothelial cells independently of elevation of the [Na(+)](i)/[K(+)](i) ratio. These observations raised the possibility of finding cardiotonic steroids (CTS) that inhibit the Na(+),K(+) pump without attenuating cell survival and vice versa. To test this hypothesis, we compared CTS action on Na(+),K(+) pump, [Na(+)](i) content, and survival of Madin-Darby canine kidney cells. At a concentration of 1 microM, ouabain and other tested cardenolides, as well as bufadienolides such as bufalin, cinobufagin, cinobufotalin, and telobufotoxin, led to approximately 10-fold inhibition of the Na(+),K(+) pump, a 2-3-fold decrease in staining with dimethylthiazol-diphenyltetrazolium (MTT), and massive death indicated by detachment of approximately 80% of cells and caspase-3 activation. In contrast, Na(+),K(+) pump inhibition and elevation of [Na(+)](i) seen in the presence of 3 microM marinobufagenin (MBG) and marinobufotoxin did not affect MTT staining and cell survival. Inhibition of the Na(+),Rb(+) pump in K(+)-free medium was not accompanied by a decline of MTT staining and cell detachment but increased sensitivity to CTS. In K(+)-free medium, half-maximal inhibition of (86)Rb influx was observed in the presence of 0.04 microM ouabain and 0.1 microM MBG, whereas half-maximal detachment and decline of MTT staining were detected at 0.03 and 0.004 microM of ouabain versus 10 and 3 microM of MBG, respectively. Both ouabain binding and ouabain-induced [Na(+)](i),[K(+)](i)-independent signaling were suppressed in the presence of MBG. Thus, our results show that CTS exhibit distinctly different potency in Na(+),K(+) pump inhibition and triggering of [Na(+)](i)/[K(+)](i)-independent signaling, including cell death. 相似文献

The assembly of sarcomeres, the smallest contractile units in striated muscle, is a complex and highly coordinated process that relies on spatio-temporal organization of sarcomeric proteins, a process requiring spontaneous Ca(2+) transients. To investigate the relationship between Ca(2+) transients and sarcomere assembly in C2C12 myotubes, we employed electric pulse stimulation (EPS), which allows the frequency of Ca(2+) transients to be manipulated. We monitored contractile activity as a means of evaluating functional sarcomere establishment using the differential image subtraction (DIS) method. C2C12 myotubes initially displayed no contractility with EPS, due to a lack of sarcomere architecture. However, C2C12 myotubes showed remarkable contractile activity with EPS-induced repetitive Ca(2+) transients (1 Hz) within only 2 h. This activity was concurrent with the development of sarcomere structure. Importantly, the period required for the acquisition of contractile activity in response to excitation was dependent upon the frequency of Ca(2+) oscillations, but a sustained increase in intracellular Ca(2+) (not oscillatory) by high-frequency EPS (10 Hz) was incapable of conferring either contractility or sarcomere assembly on the myotubes. The EPS-facilitated de novo functional sarcomere assembly appeared to require calpain-mediated proteolysis. In addition, modulation of integrin signals, by adding collagen IV or RGD-peptide, significantly affected the EPS-induced development of contractility. Taken together, these observations indicate that the frequency of the Ca(2+) oscillation determines the time required to establish functionally active sarcomere assembly and also suggest that the Ca(2+) oscillatory signal may be decoded through reorganization of the integrin-cytoskeletal protein complex via calpain-mediated proteolysis. 相似文献

For many types of cells, heat stress leads to an increase in intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+](i)) that has been shown to trigger a wide variety of cellular responses. In T lymphocytes, for example, heat stress stimulates pathways that make them more susceptible to Fas/CD95-mediated apoptosis. Because of our interest in understanding more about the response of lymphocytes to various stressors, we used human peripheral and Jurkat T lymphocytes to investigate the effect of heat stress on calcium homeostasis. We found that peripheral and Jurkat T cells both exhibit cNOs activity but not iNOs activity. Heat stress increased NO production, which was inhibited by LNNA (a cNOs inhibitor) but not L-NIL (an iNOs inhibitor). Heat stress increased [Ca2+](i) in Jurkat T cells by decreasing the K(m) of the cell surface membrane Na+/Ca2+ exchanger for extracellular Ca2+. Heating also increased cNOs phosphorylation at tyrosine residues. In cells incubated with LNNA, heat stress promoted an increase in [Ca2+](i) and a decrease in [Na+](i) greater than in cells heated without LNNA, a larger decrease in K(m) of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger for extracellular Ca2+, and decreased phosphorylation of cNOs. Our results suggest that cNOs plays an important regulatory role after heat stress. Heating appears to increase the phosphorylation of cNOs that is complexed with the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger to decrease its activity. This process is related to increased expression of Fas/CD95 on the cell surface, which might explain the apoptotic diathesis of lymphocytes after heat stress. 相似文献

K+-dependent Na+/Ca2+-exchanger isoform 4 (NCXK4) is one of the most broadly expressed members of the NCKX (K+-dependent Na+/Ca2+-exchanger) family. Recent data indicate that NCKX4 plays a critical role in controlling normal Ca2+ signal dynamics in olfactory and other neurons. Synaptic Ca2+ dynamics are modulated by purinergic regulation, mediated by ATP released from synaptic vesicles or from neighbouring glial cells. Previous studies have focused on modulation of Ca2+ entry pathways that initiate signalling. Here we have investigated purinergic regulation of NCKX4, a powerful extrusion pathway that assists in terminating Ca2+ signals. NCKX4 activity was stimulated by ATP through activation of the P2Y receptor signalling pathway. Stimulation required dual activation of PKC (protein kinase C) and CaMKII (Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II). Mutating T312, a putative PKC phosphorylation site on NCKX4, partially prevented purinergic stimulation. These data illustrate how purinergic regulation can shape the dynamics of Ca2+ signalling by activating a signal damping and termination pathway. 相似文献
