Cyclopiazonic acid (CPA), a novel specific inhibitor of Ca(2+)-ATPase in muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum, shortened the Ca(2+)-dependent after-hyperpolarization (AHP) following a spike in the rat superior cervical ganglion. This inhibitory effect was reversible and dependent on concentrations between 1 and 5 microM. The AHP in the presence of 5 microM CPA was not depressed further by ryanodine, nor was it affected by repetitive stimulation. These results suggest that CPA inhibits the intracellular Ca2+ release, probably due to the depletion of Ca2+ stores induced by inhibition of the ATP-dependent Ca2+ pump.

Cyclopiazonic acid is a potent inhibitor of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca++ ATPase. It scarely affects inotropism but significantly impairs lusitropism suggesting a greater role for cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum in the control of cardiac relaxation than in the control of cardiac contraction.

The photochemical release of Ca2+ from caged-Ca2+ in the absence of ATP, and the release of ATP from caged-ATP in the presence of Ca2+ induce characteristic difference FTIR spectra on rabbit sarcoplasmic reticulum that are related to the formation of Ca2-E1 and E approximately P intermediates of the Ca(2+)-ATPase, respectively. Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (10 nmol/mg protein) abolished both the Ca(2+)-and ATP-induced difference FTIR spectra parallel with inhibition of ATPase activity. Cyclopiazonic acid (50 nmol/mg protein) inhibited the Ca(2+)-induced difference spectrum measured in the absence of ATP, but had no significant effect on the ATP-induced difference spectrum measured in the presence of 1 mM Ca2+. The dog kidney Na+,K(+)-ATPase did not give significant difference spectrum after photolysis of caged-ATP in Ca(2+)-free media containing 90 mM Na+ and 10 mM K+, with or without ouabain. We propose that both the Ca2+ and the ATP-induced difference FTIR spectra of the Ca(2+)-ATPase reflect the occupancy of the high-affinity Ca2+ transport site of the enzyme.

Cyclopiazonic acid is a potent inhibitor of calcium uptake and Ca(2+)-ATPase activity in sarcoplasmic and endoplasmic reticulum. In L6 muscle myoblasts, cyclopiazonic acid stimulates the uptake of tetraphenylphosphonium, a lipophilic membrane potential probe, and has antioxidant properties. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the structural requirements necessary for causing the surface charge alterations, and the antioxidant activity in L6 skeletal muscle myoblasts, and for inhibition of calcium transport by rat skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles. This was accomplished by comparing the effects of two structurally related tetramic acids, cyclopiazonic acid imine and tenuazonic acid, with cyclopiazonic acid. Cyclopiazonic acid imine inhibited oxalate-assisted 45Ca2+ uptake and ATPase activity in sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles and stimulated tetraphenylphosphonium accumulation by L6 muscle myoblasts. However, these effects required an approximately fourfold higher concentration than that of cyclopiazonic acid. Tenuazonic acid, up to 1 mM, had no effect on oxalate-assisted 45Ca2+ uptake or Ca(2+)-ATPase activity in sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles and did not stimulate tetraphenylphosphonium accumulation by L6 muscle myoblasts. Cyclopiazonic acid was only slightly more effective than cyclopiazonic acid imine at preventing the patulin-induced increase in thiobarbituric acid positive substance (used to estimate lipid peroxidation); tenuazonic acid was totally ineffective. Previously, it was shown that cyclopiazonic acid was twice as effective as cyclopiazonic acid imine at preventing increases in thiobarbituric acid positive substance in cultured renal cells, LLC-PK1. Thus, the indole nucleus of cyclopiazonic acid is essential for the membrane-associated biological activity; however, modification of the acetyl group reduces the potency of the activity.

The mycotoxin, cyclopiazonic acid (CPA), inhibits the Ca2+-stimulated ATPase (EC 3.6.1.38) and Ca2+ transport activity of sarcoplasmic reticulum (Goeger, D. E., Riley, R. T., Dorner, J. W., and Cole, R. J. (1988) Biochem. Pharmacol. 37, 978-981). We found that at low ATP concentrations (0.5-2 microM) the inhibition of ATPase activity was essentially complete at a CPA concentration of 6-8 nmol/mg protein, indicating stoichiometric reaction of CPA with the Ca2+-ATPase. Cyclopiazonic acid caused similar inhibition of the Ca2+-stimulated ATP hydrolysis in intact sarcoplasmic reticulum and in a purified preparation of Ca2+-ATPase. Cyclopiazonic acid also inhibited the Ca2+-dependent acetylphosphate, p-nitrophenylphosphate and carbamylphosphate hydrolysis by sarcoplasmic reticulum. ATP protected the enzyme in a competitive manner against inhibition by CPA, while a 10(5)-fold change in free Ca2+ concentration had only moderate effect on the extent of inhibition. CPA did not influence the crystallization of Ca2+-ATPase by vanadate or the reaction of fluorescein-5'-isothiocyanate with the Ca2+-ATPase, but it completely blocked at concentrations as low as 1-2 mol of CPA/mol of ATPase the fluorescence changes induced by Ca2+ and [ethylenebis(oxyethylenenitrilo)]tetraacetic acid (EGTA) in FITC-labeled sarcoplasmic reticulum and inhibited the cleavage of Ca2+-ATPase by trypsin at the T2 cleavage site in the presence of EGTA. These observations suggest that CPA interferes with the ATP-induced conformational changes related to Ca2+ transport. The effect of CPA on the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase appears to be fairly specific, since the kidney and brain Na+,K+-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.37), the gastric H+,K+-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.36), the mitochondrial F1-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.34), the Ca2+-ATPase of erythrocytes, and the Mg2+-activated ATPase of T-tubules and surface membranes of rat skeletal muscle were not inhibited by CPA, even at concentrations as high as 1000 nmol/mg protein.

The interaction of cyclopiazonic acid with rat skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) vesicles was investigated in order to study the mechanism of cyclopiazonic acid inhibition of the Ca2+-ATPase (Goeger et al., Biochem Pharmacol 37: 978-981, 1988). Cyclopiazonic acid at 25 microM prevented the binding of Ca2+ to the high affinity binding site of mixed (light and heavy) SR vesicles and inhibited, in a dose-dependent manner, the Ca2+-dependent phosphorylation of SR vesicles by ATP. Binding of Ca2+ to the high affinity site of the CA2+-ATPase is necessary for both Ca2+ transport and for phosphorylation of the Ca2+-ATPase. We conclude that inhibition of Ca2+ binding to the high affinity site may be responsible, at least in part, for the activity of cyclopiazonic acid. The mechanism of inhibition remains unclear. The inhibition was not reduced after dialysis and was only partially reversed by gel filtration of SR vesicles treated with cyclopiazonic acid. Neither 1 mM glutathione nor dithiothreitol pretreatment had any effect on the inhibition of the Ca2+-ATPase. In addition to its inhibition of Ca2+ uptake and the Ca2+-ATPase, cyclopiazonic acid had significant effects on Ca2+ efflux from both passively and actively loaded SR vesicles. Cyclopiazonic acid impeded the efflux of Ca2+ from passively loaded SR vesicles (in the presence of ruthenium red) when compared to either untreated vesicles or those treated with mersalyl acid, a mercurial which also inhibits the Ca2+-ATPase and is known to induce Ca2+ release by both ruthenium red-sensitive and -insensitive pathways. Treatment of actively loaded vesicles with cyclopiazonic acid resulted in a decreased rate of Ca2+ efflux when compared to SR vesicles in which the Ca2+-ATPase activity was inhibited by ATP depletion with hexokinase and glucose. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that, in mixed SR vesicles, cyclopiazonic acid inhibits both the Ca2+ pump and Ca2+ efflux.

1. The effects of depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores on muscle tension and the intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+])i were studied in fura-2 loaded longitudinal smooth muscle cells of the rat ileum. 2. After exposure to a Ca(2+)-free solution, application of Ca2+ caused a small contraction and a rise in [Ca2+]i, both of which were potentiated when the muscle was challenged with carbachol or caffeine before the addition of Ca2+. 3. Cyclopiazonic acid (CPA), a specific inhibitor of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase, dose-dependently decreased tension development and the rises in [Ca2+]i induced by carbachol and caffeine in the Ca(2+)-free solution, but conversely increased the Ca(2+)-induced responses even in the presence of the voltage-dependent Ca2+ channel blockers, methoxyverapamil and nifedipine. 4. The contraction and rise in [Ca2+]i evoked by Ca2+ gradually declined with time after removal of CPA, while the reverse was the case for the responses to carbachol and caffeine. 5. The Ca(2+)-induced contraction and rise in [Ca2+]i in the presence of CPA were inhibited by the replacement of Na+ with K+ or Cs+, and by the addition of Cd2+, Ba2+, Ni2+ or La3+. 6. The influx of Mn2+ was much greater in extent in the presence of CPA than in its absence. 7. These results suggest that the emptying of intracellular Ca2+ stores may activate Ca2+ influx not associated with voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels in the rat ileal smooth muscle.

Cyclopiazonic acid has been reported to inhibit the Ca(2+)-ATPase of intracellular calcium stores in some nonexcitable cell types, such as myeloid cells and lymphocytes. The present study examines the effects of cyclopiazonic acid on rat basophilic leukemia (RBL) cells, a mucosal mast cell line. Addition of cyclopiazonic acid to fura-2-loaded RBL cells evoked a biphasic increase in free ionized intracellular calcium. Release of stored calcium accounted for the first phase of this response. The second phase was determined to be calcium entering through an influx pathway activated by cyclopiazonic acid. The influx pathway was selective for calcium, but was somewhat permeable to manganese. However, in a Ca(2+)-free solution containing EGTA, sodium ions permeated freely. This influx pathway appears to be identical to that which is activated by antigen, the physiological stimulus to the cells. Cyclopiazonic acid also induced secretion when combined with the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol 13-acetate, which activates protein kinase C.

1. The relevance of a functional sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) membrane system to the contraction-relaxation cycle and to the force-frequency relationship of guinea-pig atrial tissue was investigated. Cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) was used to inhibit selectively the activity of the SR Ca(2+)-ATPase. IC50 values of 0.2 microM or 1.0 microM were measured in guinea-pig isolated SR membranes in the absence or presence of millimolar ATP, respectively. CPA (0.3-30 microM) did not inhibit the activity of the sarcolemmal Na(+)-Ca(2+)-exchanger as measured in isolated cardiac cell membrane preparations. 2. In guinea-pig isolated left atrium paced at 2.5 Hz (30 degrees C), CPA (1-100 microM) produced a concentration-dependent reduction in developed tension and a fall in the maximum rate of tension increase (+dT/dtmax) and decrease (-dT/dtmax). The twitch duration was markedly increased due to a prolongation of the time to peak tension, and in particular, the relaxation phase. 3. The contraction-relaxation cycle of the left atrium showed a marked dependence on the frequency of stimulation. The developed tension and +dT/dtmax showed a progressive increase from 0.5 Hz, reaching peak values at a stimulation rate of 1.5-2.5 Hz, the positive staircase phenomenon. Higher frequencies of stimulation caused a fall in these parameters. Resting tension was unaffected. The time-course of the contraction-relaxation cycle was also frequency-dependent, with both time to peak tension and relaxation time showing a progressive fall from 2.0-3.5 Hz. 4. The addition of CPA (30 microM) caused marked alterations in the frequency-dependence of the contraction-relaxation cycle. The frequency-dependence of developed tension, + dr/dtmax and dT/dt max was shifted downwards, particularly at higher frequencies, and the frequency at which peak values of+ dT/dtmax and - dT/dtmax were reached was shifted leftwards. The resting tension of the tissues in the presence of 30 micro M CPA was increased markedly at frequencies greater than 2 Hz. The time-course of the contraction-relaxation cycle was markedly prolonged between 1.0 and 3.5 Hz, due to an effect on both time to peak tension and relaxation time.5. In conclusion, these results show that CPA is a highly selective inhibitor of the cardiac SR Ca2+-ATPase, without effect on the sarcolemmal Na+-Ca2+-exchanger, and suggest that a functional SR Ca2+-ATPase is necessary for the normal contraction-relaxation cycle of guinea-pig cardiac tissue.Additionally, the results suggest an increasing dependence of tension development on SR Ca2+-ATPase with increasing frequency, which may reflect either a frequency-dependent activation of this enzyme or the diminished contribution of the Na+-Ca2+ exchanger. These results also provide novel support for the mechanism of the depressed force-frequency relation found in cardiac tissue of heart failure patients, in which there is a reduced expression of Ca2+-ATPase.

1. Cyclopiazonic acid (CPA), an inhibitor of sarcoplasmic ATPase, was tested on guinea-pig urinary bladder and vas deferens for its ability: (1) to modify contractile responses to electrical field stimulation (EFS), exogenous ATP, alpha,beta-methylene ATP (alpha,beta-MeATP), carbachol, noradrenaline (NA), histamine, and KCl; (2) to affect ecto-ATPase activity; (3) to modify the release of ATP evoked by EFS. 2. In the urinary bladder, CPA (10 microM) potentiated contractile responses to EFS, exogenous ATP (100 microM), alpha,beta-meATP (1 microM), carbachol (0.5 microM), histamine (30 microM) and KCl (30 mM). In the vas deferens, CPA (10 microM) potentiated responses to EFS, ATP, alpha,beta-meATP, NA (100 microM) and KCl. CPA at a concentration of 1 microM had no effect on ATP-induced relaxation of carbachol-precontracted guinea-pig taenia coli, and at a concentration of 10 microM it markedly increased spontaneous contractile activity of taenia. 3. Ecto-ATPase was estimated to have Vmax and Km values of 0.98 nmol Pi 30 min-1 mg-1 wet tissue and 881 microM ATP in the urinary bladder, and 0.75 nmol Pi 30 min-1 mg-1 wet tissue and 914 microM ATP in the vas deferens, respectively. CPA at a concentration of 10 microM significantly inhibited ecto-ATPase activity by 18% in the urinary bladder and by 24% in the vas deferens. 4. In the guinea-pig vas deferens, CPA significantly potentiated ATP release evoked by EFS from 2.2 +/- 0.8 (6) pmol ATP min-1 g-1 wet tissue to 35.2 +/- 4.8 (6) pmol ATP min-1 g-1 wet tissue (P < 0.01). 5. In conclusion, the potentiation of contractile responses of the guinea-pig urinary bladder and vas deferens by CPA has a non-specific character. CPA inhibited ecto-ATPase activity and increased ATP release, but these effects do not appear to contribute to the potentiation of Pu-purinoceptor-mediated responses since the contractile actions of all the agonists studied were potentiated to the same extent.
