Abstract:Intracellular Ca2+ mobilization plays an important role in a wide variety of cellular processes, and multiple second messengers are responsible for mediating intracellular Ca2+ changes. Here we explored the role of one endogenous Ca2+-mobilizing nucleotide, cyclic adenosine diphosphoribose (cADPR), in the proliferation and differentiation of neurosecretory PC12 cells. We found that cADPR induced Ca2+ 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 Ca2+ 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.Mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ stores is involved in diverse cell functions, including fertilization, cell proliferation, and differentiation (14). At least three endogenous Ca2+-mobilizing messengers have been identified, including inositol trisphosphate (IP3),3 nicotinic adenine acid dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP), and cyclic adenosine diphosphoribose (cADPR). Similar to IP3, cADPR can mobilize calcium release in a wide variety of cell types and species, from protozoa to animals. The cADPR-mediated Ca2+ signaling has been indicated in a variety of cellular processes (57), from abscisic acid signaling and regulation of the circadian clock in plants, to mediating long-term synaptic depression in hippocampus.Ample evidence shows that the ryanodine receptors are the main intracellular targets for cADPR (1, 2, 8). Ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are intracellular Ca2+ channels widely expressed in various cells and tissues, including muscles and neurons. It is the major cellular mediator of Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR) in cells. There are three isoforms of ryanodine receptors: RyR1, RyR2, and RyR3, all of which have been implicated in the cADPR signaling (1, 2, 8). However, evidence regarding cADPR acting directly on the receptors is lacking (9). It has been suggested that accessory proteins, such as calmodulin and FK506-binding protein (FKBP), may be involved instead (1015).cADPR is formed from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) by ADP-ribosyl cyclases. Six ADP-ribosyl cyclases have been identified so far: Aplysia ADP-ribosyl cyclase, three sea urchin homologues (16, 17), and two mammalian homologues, CD38 and CD157 (18). CD38 is a membrane-bound protein and the main mammalian ADP-ribosyl cyclase. As a novel multifunctional enzyme, CD38 catalyzes the synthesis and hydrolysis of both cADPR and NAADP, two structurally and functionally distinct Ca2+ messengers. Virtually all mammalian tissues ever examined have been shown to express CD38. CD38 knock-out mice exhibit multiple physiological defects, ranging from impaired immune responses, metabolic disturbances, to behavioral modifications (1, 6, 18).CD38 was originally identified as a lymphocyte differentiation antigen (18). Indeed, CD38/cADPR has been linked to cell differentiation (5). For example, in human HL-60 cells, CD38 expression and the consequential accumulation of cADPR play a causal role in mediating granulocytic differentiation (19). In addition, expression of CD38 in HeLa and 3T3 cells not only increased intracellular Ca2+ concentration but also induced cell proliferation by significantly reducing the S phase duration, leading to shortened cell doubling time (20). The ability of cADPR to increase cell proliferation has also been observed in human T cells (21), human hemopoietic progenitors (22), human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (23), human mesenchymal stem cells (24), and murine mesangial cells (25).The PC12 cell line was derived from rat adrenal medulla and has been used extensively as a neuronal model, since it exhibits many of the functions observed in primary neuronal cultures (26). Most importantly, PC12 cells can be induced by nerve growth factor (NGF) to differentiate into cells with extensive neurite outgrowths, resembling neuronal dendritic trees (26, 27). In contrast to NGF, numerous growth factors and neurotransmitters can induce the proliferation of PC12 cells instead (26). Both IP3 receptor- and ryanodine receptor-mediated Ca2+ stores have been shown to be present in PC12 cells (2831). The type 2 ryanodine receptor is expressed in PC12 cells and activation of the NO/cGMP pathway in PC12 cells results in calcium mobilization, which is mediated by cADPR and similar to that seen in sea urchin eggs (32). It has been demonstrated that NAADP, another Ca2+-mobilizing messenger, is also a potent neuronal differentiation inducer in PC12 cells, while IP3 exhibits no such role (33, 34). Whether cADPR is involved in the proliferation and differentiation of PC12 cells is unknown.Here we show that activation of the CD38/cADPR/Ca2+ signaling is required for the ACh-induced proliferation in PC12 cells, while inhibition of the pathway accelerates NGF-induced neuronal differentiation. Our data indicate that cADPR is important in regulating cell proliferation and neuronal differentiation in PC12 cells.
