We present here evidence for the enhancement, at rest, of an inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)-mediated calcium signaling pathway in myotubes from dystrophin-deficient cell lines (SolC1(-)) as compared to a cell line from the same origin but transfected with mini-dystrophin (SolD(+)). With confocal microscopy, the number of sites discharging calcium (release site density [RSD]) was quantified and found more elevated in SolC1(-) than in SolD(+) myotubes. Variations of membrane potential had no significant effect on this difference, and higher resting [Ca2+]i in SolC1(-) (Marchand, E., B. Constantin, H. Balghi, M.C. Claudepierre, A. Cantereau, C. Magaud, A. Mouzou, G. Raymond, S. Braun, and C. Cognard. 2004. Exp. Cell Res. 297:363-379) cannot explain alone higher RSD. The exposure with SR Ca(2+) channel inhibitors (ryanodine and 2-APB) and phospholipase C inhibitor (U73122) significantly reduced RSD in both cell types but with a stronger effect in dystrophin-deficient SolC1(-) myotubes. Immunocytochemistry allowed us to localize ryanodine receptors (RyRs) as well as IP3 receptors (IP3Rs), IP3R-1 and IP3R-2 isoforms, indicating the presence of both RyRs-dependent and IP3-dependent release systems in both cells. We previously reported evidence for the enhancement, through a Gi protein, of the IP3-mediated calcium signaling pathway in SolC1(-) as compared to SolD(+) myotubes during a high K(+) stimulation (Balghi, H., S. Sebille, B. Constantin, S. Patri, V. Thoreau, L. Mondin, E. Mok, A. Kitzis, G. Raymond, and C. Cognard. 2006. J. Gen. Physiol. 127:171-182). Here we show that, at rest, these regulation mechanisms are also involved in the modulation of calcium release activities. The enhancement of resting release activity may participate in the calcium overload observed in dystrophin-deficient myotubes, and our findings support the hypothesis of the regulatory role of mini-dystrophin on intracellular signaling.  相似文献

The fluorescent calcium signal from rat myotubes in culture was monitored after field-stimulation with tetanic protocols. After the calcium signal sensitive to ryanodine and associated to the excitation-contraction coupling, a second long-lasting calcium signal refractory to ryanodine was consistently found. The onset kinetics of this slow signal were slightly modified in nominally calcium-free medium, as were both the frequency and number of pulses during tetanus. No signal was detected in the presence of tetrodotoxin. The participation of the dihydropyridine receptor (DHPR) as the voltage sensor for this signal was assessed by treatment with agonist and antagonist dihydropyridines (Bay K 8644 and nifedipine), showing an enhanced and inhibitory response, respectively. In the dysgenic GLT cell line, which lacks the alpha1(S) subunit of the DHPR, the signal was absent. Transfection of these cells with the alpha1(S) subunit restored the slow signal. In myotubes, the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) mass increase induced by a tetanus protocol preceded in time the slow calcium signal. Both an IP(3) receptor blocker and a phospholipase C inhibitor (xestospongin C and U73122, respectively) dramatically inhibit this signal. Long-lasting, IP(3)-generated slow calcium signals appear to be a physiological response to activity-related fluctuations in membrane potential sensed by the DHPR.  相似文献

Different mouse muscle cell lines were found to express distinct patterns of myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms, MyoD1, and myogenin, but there appeared to be no correlation between the pattern of MHC expression and the patterns of MyoD1 and myogenin expression. Myogenic cell lines were generated from unconverted C3H10T1/2 cells by 5-azacytidine treatment (Aza cell lines) and by stable transfection with MyoD1 (TD cell lines) or myogenin (TG cell lines). Myogenic differentiation of the newly generated cell lines was compared to that of the C2C12 and BC3H-1 cell lines. Immunoblot analysis showed that differentiated cells of each line expressed the embryonic and slow skeletal/beta-cardiac MHC isoforms though slow MHC was expressed at a much lower, barely detectable level in BC3H-1 cells. Differentiated cells of each line except BC3H-1 also expressed an additional MHC(s) that was probably the perinatal MHC isoform. Myogenin mRNA was expressed by every cell line, and, with the exception of BC3H-1 (cf., Davis, R. L., H. Weintraub, and A. B. Lassar. 1987. Cell. 51:987-1000), MyoD1 mRNA was expressed by every cell line. To determine if MyoD1 expression would alter the differentiation of BC3H-1 cells, cell lines (termed BD) were generated by transfecting BC3H-1 cells with MyoD1 under control of the beta-actin promoter. The MyoD1 protein expressed in BD cells was correctly localized in the nucleus, and, unlike the parental BC3H-1 cell line that formed differentiated MHC-expressing cells, which were predominantly mononucleated, BD cell lines formed long, multinucleated myotubes (cf., Brennan, T. J., D. G. Edmondson, and E. N. Olson. 1990. J. Cell. Biol. 110:929-938). Despite the differences in morphology and MyoD1 expression, BD myotubes and the parent BC3H-1 cells expressed the same pattern of sarcomeric MHCs.  相似文献

We explore the dynamic behavior of a model of calcium oscillations and wave propagation in the basal region of pancreatic acinar cells [Sneyd, J., et al., Biophys. J. 85: 1392–1405, 2003]. Since it is known that two principal calcium release pathways are involved, inositol trisphosphate receptors (IPR) and ryanodine receptors (RyR), we study how the model behavior depends on the density of each receptor type. Calcium oscillations can be mediated either by IPR or RyR. Continuous increases in either RyR or IPR density can lead to the appearance and disappearance of oscillations multiple times, and the two receptor types interact via their common effect on cytoplasmic calcium concentration and the subsequent effect on the total amount of calcium inside the cell. Increases in agonist concentration can stimulate oscillations via the RyR by increasing calcium influx. Using a two time-scale approach, we explain these complex behaviors by treating the total amount of cellular calcium as a slow parameter. Oscillations are controlled by the shape of the slow manifold and where it intersects the nullcline of the slow variable. When calcium diffusion is included, the existence of traveling waves in the model equation is strongly dependent on the interplay between the total amount of calcium in the cell and membrane transport, a feature that can be experimentally tested. Our results help us understand the behavior of a model that includes both receptors in comparison to the properties of each receptor type in isolation.  相似文献

The inositol (1,4,5) trisphosphate 3-kinases comprise a family of enzymes (A, B, and C) that phosphorylate the calcium mobilising molecule inositol (1,4,5) trisphosphate (IP(3)) to generate inositol (1,3,4,5) tetrakisphosphate. This molecule can function as a second messenger, but its roles are not completely understood. The A isoform of inositol (1,4,5) trisphosphate 3-kinase localises to filamentous actin within dendritic spines in the hippocampus and is implicated in the regulation of spine morphology and long term potentiation, however the mechanisms through which it signals in neuronal cells are not completely understood. We have used NGF driven neurite outgrowth from PC12 cells as a platform to examine the impact of signaling via inositol (1,4,5) trisphosphate 3-kinase activity in a neuronal cell. We have found that the catalytic activity of the enzyme opposes neurite outgrowth, whilst pharmacological inhibition of inositol (1,4,5) trisphosphate 3-kinase leads to a significant increase in neurite outgrowth, and we show that the reduction in neurite outgrowth in response to inositol (1,4,5) trisphosphate 3-kinase activity correlates with reduced ERK activity as determined by western blotting using phosphorylation-specific antibodies. Our findings suggest a novel neuronal signaling pathway linking metabolism of IP(3) to signaling via ERK.  相似文献

Nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) mobilizes intracellular Ca2+ stores in several cell types. Ample evidence suggests that NAADP activates intracellular Ca2+ channels distinct from those that are sensitive to inositol trisphosphate and ryanodine/cyclic ADP-ribose. Recent studies in intact cells have demonstrated functional coupling ('channel chatter') between Ca2+ release pathways mediated by NAADP, inositol trisphosphate and cyclic ADP-ribose. Thus, NAADP is probably an important determinant in shaping cytosolic Ca2+ signals.  相似文献

Subcellular fractions of neuroblastoma x glioma (NG108-15) hybrid cells were used to study the mechanism of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-induced calcium release. A microsomal fraction, enriched in endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membranes and almost devoid of mitochondria, was the most active in inositol trisphosphate- or GTP-dependent release of calcium. Neither GTP nor inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate affected the calcium efflux mediated by the other reagent, suggesting that inositol trisphosphate and GTP act on different calcium-sequestrating vesicles. The stimulation of calcium release by GTP was relatively slow (t1/2 = 90 s), dependent on polyethyleneglycol, and greater at 2 X 10(-5) M calcium (5 nmol X min-1 X mg-1) than at 10(-6) M calcium (0.8 nmol X min-1 X mg-1). The inositol trisphosphate-induced calcium efflux was not mimicked by inositol monophosphate; it was fast (t1/2 less than 10 s) and unaffected by 3% polyethyleneglycol. The amount of calcium released by inositol trisphosphate was greatest at 10(-6) M external calcium (1 nmol X min-1 X mg-1) and it was undetectable at 2 X 10(-5) M calcium. A feedback inhibition of the inositol trisphosphate-induced calcium release by cytoplasmic calcium provides a safety mechanism preventing deleterious effects of abnormally high calcium levels.  相似文献

While changes in intracellular calcium are well known to influence muscle contraction through excitation contraction coupling, little is understood of the calcium signaling events regulating gene expression through the calcineurin/NFAT pathway in muscle. Here, we demonstrate that Ca(+2) released via the inositol trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) increases nuclear entry of NFAT in undifferentiated skeletal myoblasts, but the IP3R Ca(+2) pool in differentiated myotubes promotes nuclear exit of NFAT despite a comparable quantitative change in [Ca(+2)]i. In contrast, Ca(+2) released via ryanodine receptors (RYR) increases NFAT nuclear entry in myotubes. The scaffolding protein Homer, known to interact with both IP3R and RYR, is expressed as part of the myogenic differentiation program and enhances NFAT-dependent signaling by increasing RYR Ca(+2) release. These results demonstrate that differentiated skeletal myotubes employ discrete pools of intracellular calcium to restrain (IP3R pool) or activate (RYR pool) NFAT-dependent signaling, in a manner distinct from undifferentiated myoblasts. The selective expression of Homer proteins contributes to these differentiation-dependent features of calcium signaling.  相似文献

We examined the roles of type 1 and type 2 calsequestrins (CSQ1 and CSQ2) in stored Ca2+ release of C2C12 skeletal muscle myotubes. Transduction of C2C12 myoblasts with CSQ1 or CSQ2 small interfering RNAs effectively reduced the expression of targeted CSQ protein to near undetectable levels. As compared with control infected or CSQ1 knockdown myotubes, CSQ2 and CSQ1/CSQ2 knockdown myotubes had significantly reduced stored Ca2+ release evoked by activators of intracellular Ca2+ release channel/ryanodine receptor (10 mM caffeine, 200 microM 4-chloro-m-cresol, or 10 mM KCl). Thus, CSQ1 is not essential for effective stored Ca2+ release in C2C12 myotubes despite our in vitro studies suggesting that CSQ1 may enhance ryanodine receptor channel activity. To determine the basis of the reduced stored Ca2+ release in CSQ2 knockdown myotubes, we performed immunoblot analyses and found a significant reduction in both sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase and skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor proteins in CSQ2 and CSQ1/CSQ2 knockdown myotubes. Moreover, these knockdown myotubes exhibited reduced Ca2+ uptake and reduced stored Ca2+ release by UTP (400 microM) that activates a different family of intracellular Ca2+ release channels (inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors). Taken together, our data suggest that knocking down CSQ2, but not CSQ1, leads to reduced Ca2+ storage and release in C2C12 myotubes.  相似文献

Many cells (including angiotensin II target cells) respond to external stimuli with accelerated hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, generating 1,2-diacylglycerol and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, a rapidly diffusible and potent Ca2+-mobilizing factor. Following its production at the plasma membrane level, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate is believed to interact with specific sites in the endoplasmic reticulum and triggers the release of stored Ca2+. Specific receptor sites for inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate were recently identified in the bovine adrenal cortex (Baukal, A. J., Guillemette, G., Rubin, R., Sp?t, A., and Catt, K. J. (1985) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 133, 532-538) and have been further characterized in the adrenal cortex and other target tissues. The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-binding sites are saturable and present in low concentration (104 +/- 48 fmol/mg protein) and exhibit high affinity for inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Kd 1.7 +/- 0.6 nM). Their ligand specificity is illustrated by their low affinity for inositol 1,4-bisphosphate (Kd approximately 10(-7) M), inositol 1-phosphate and phytic acid (Kd approximately 10(-4) M), fructose 1,6-bisphosphate and 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (Kd approximately 10(-3) M), with no detectable affinity for inositol 1-phosphate and myo-inositol. These binding sites are distinct from the degradative enzyme, inositol trisphosphate phosphatase, which has a much lower affinity for inositol trisphosphate (Km = 17 microM). Furthermore, submicromolar concentrations of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate evoked a rapid release of Ca2+ from nonmitochondrial ATP-dependent storage sites in the adrenal cortex. Specific and saturable binding sites for inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate were also observed in the anterior pituitary (Kd = 0.87 +/- 0.31 nM, Bmax = 14.8 +/- 9.0 fmol/mg protein) and in the liver (Kd = 1.66 +/- 0.7 nM, Bmax = 147 +/- 24 fmol/mg protein). These data suggest that the binding sites described in this study are specific receptors through which inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate mobilizes Ca2+ in target tissues for angiotensin II and other calcium-dependent hormones.  相似文献

CD38 is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein found on both hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells. It is known for its involvement in the metabolism of cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate, two nucleotides with calcium mobilizing activity independent of inositol trisphosphate. It is generally believed that CD38 is an integral protein with ectoenzymatic activities found mainly on the plasma membrane. Here we show that enzymatically active CD38 is present intracellularly on the nuclear envelope of rat hepatocytes. CD38 isolated from rat liver nuclei possessed both ADP-ribosyl cyclase and NADase activity. Immunofluorescence studies on rat liver cryosections and isolated nuclei localized CD38 to the nuclear envelope of hepatocytes. Subcellular localization via immunoelectron microscopy showed that CD38 is located on the inner nuclear envelope. The isolated nuclei sequestered calcium in an ATP-dependent manner. cADPR elicited a rapid calcium release from the loaded nuclei, which was independent of inositol trisphosphate and was inhibited by 8-amino-cADPR, a specific antagonist of cADPR, and ryanodine. However, nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate failed to elicit any calcium release from the nuclear calcium stores. The nuclear localization of CD38 shown in this study suggests a novel role of CD38 in intracellular calcium signaling for non-hematopoietic cells.  相似文献

Many previous reports suggested that relatively high concentrations of neurotensin were required to exert its effects on neurotransmitter secretion. The neurotensin binding sites, which recognize high concentrations of neurotensin, were characterized in rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells. When PC12 cells were treated with neurotensin, [3H]norepinephrine secretion and elevation of cytosolic calcium were evoked at EC(50) values of 59+/-4 and 37+/-7 microM, respectively. Both calcium release and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) production induced by neurotensin suggested involvement of phospholipase C. Experiments with simultaneous or sequential treatment with neurotensin and bradykinin suggested that neurotensin and bradykinin act on the same binding sites. Furthermore, both inhibition of bradykinin- and neurotensin-induced calcium rises by bradykinin receptor antagonists with similar IC(50) values and receptor binding analysis using [3H]bradykinin confirmed that neurotensin directly binds to B2 bradykinin receptors. The data suggest that neurotensin binds and activates the B2 bradykinin receptors.  相似文献

Of the three known ryanodine receptor (RyR) isoforms expressed in muscle, RyR1 and RyR2 have well-defined roles in contraction. However, studies on mammalian RyR3 have been difficult because of low expression levels relative to RyR1 or RyR2. Using the herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) helper-free amplicon system, we expressed either RyR1 or RyR3 in 1B5 RyR-deficient myotubes. Western blot analysis revealed that RyR1- or RyR3-transduced cells expressed the appropriate RyR isoform of the correct molecular mass. Although RyR1 channels exhibited the expected unitary conductance for Cs(+) in bilayer lipid membranes, 74 of 88 RyR3 channels exhibited pronounced subconductance behavior. Western blot analysis with an FKBP12/12.6-selective antibody reveals that differences in gating behavior exhibited by RyR1 and RyR3 may be, in part, the result of lower affinity of RyR3 for FKBP12. In calcium imaging studies, RyR1 restored skeletal-type excitation-contraction coupling, whereas RyR3 did not. Although RyR3-expressing myotubes were more sensitive to caffeine than those expressing RyR1, they were much less sensitive to 4-chloro-m-cresol (CMC). In RyR1-expressing cells, regenerative calcium oscillations were observed in response to caffeine and CMC but were never seen in RyR3-expressing 1B5 cells. In [(3)H]ryanodine binding studies, only RyR1 exhibited sensitivity to CMC, but both RyR isoforms responded to caffeine. These functional differences between RyR1 and RyR3 expressed in a mammalian muscle context may reflect differences in association with accessory proteins, especially FKBP12, as well as structural differences in modulator binding sites.  相似文献
