The effect of decreased temperature on Ca(2+)-dependent arachidonic acid release was studied in vascular endothelial cells by investigating bradykinin (BK)-stimulated Ca2+ mobilization, inositol phosphate formation and arachidonic acid release. At both 37 degrees C and 22 degrees C, BK efficiently increased cytosolic Ca2+ concn. ([Ca2+]i). At 22 degrees C, peak [Ca2+]i was higher and returned to basal levels more slowly. Although this response was preceded by rapid formation of Ins(1,4,5)P3, the activity of phospholipase C was significantly impaired at 22 degrees C. To determine if Ins(1,4,5)P3 effectively mobilized intracellular Ca2+, we used saponin-permeabilized cells. Ins(1,4,5)P3, mobilized sequestered Ca2+ to a similar degree at 37 degrees C and 22 degrees C, although Ca2+ release was prolonged at 22 degrees C. In intact cells, BK mobilized intracellular Ca2+ stores and activated Ca2+ entry. The rate of 45Ca2+ entry was approx. 2-fold slower at 22 degrees C, even though the peak and duration of the rise in [Ca2+]i were higher and sustained at the lower temperature. TG mobilized intracellular Ca2+, activated Ca2+ entry and elevated [Ca2+]i at both temperatures. As with BK, the peak [Ca2+]i reached after thapsigargin treatment was higher at 22 degrees C. This effect of lower temperature on [Ca2+]i was most probably due to decreased Ca2+ efflux after a decrease in activity of the Ca(2+)-ATPase on the plasma membrane. Both A23187 and BK were shown to stimulate phospholipase A2 and arachidonic acid release at 22 degrees C. In each case, the rate and extent of release were decreased compared with that at 37 degrees C. Among several effects, lowering the temperature decreases the activity of phospholipase C, Ca(2+)-ATPase(s), Ca(2+)-entry mechanisms and phospholipase A2. Together, these effects lead to a higher and more prolonged elevation of [Ca2+]i, but a decrease in arachidonate release in response to BK.

Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) induces a release of Ca2+ from vacuolar membrane vesicles of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The amount released is dependent on IP3 concentration (concentration for half maximal effect, Km, apparent = 0.4 microM). Myo-inositol, and inositol 1,4-bisphosphate up to 50 microM have no effect on Ca2+ levels in the vesicles. The IP3-induced Ca2+ release is blocked by dantrolene and 8-(N,N-diethylamino)-octyl 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate-HCl (TMB-8), which are known to block Ca2+ release from Ca2+ stores in animal cells. IP3-induced release of Ca2+ also occurs when Ca2+ is accumulated by means of an artificial pH gradient, indicating that the effect of IP3 is not due to an effect on the vacuolar H(+)-ATPase. The IP3-induced Ca2+ release is not accompanied by a change in the pH gradient, which indicates that it is not due to a reversal of the Ca2+/nH+ antiport or to a decrease in delta pH by IP3. The present results suggest that IP3 may act as a second messenger in the mobilization of Ca2+ in yeast cells. As in plant cells, the vacuolar membrane of yeast seems to contain a Ca2+ channel, which can be opened by IP3. In this respect the vacuole could function as an IP3-regulated intracellular Ca2+ store, equivalent to the endoplasmic- and sarcoplasmic reticulum in animal cells, and play a role in Ca(2+)-dependent signal transduction in yeast cells.

Transient rise in nuclear calcium concentration is implicated in the regulation of events controlling gene expression. Mechanism by which calcium is transported to the nucleus is vehemently debated. Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) and inositol-1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (InsP4) receptors have been located to the nucleus and their role in nuclear calcium signaling has been proposed. Outer nuclear membrane was separated from the inner membrane. The two membrane preparations were, as best as possible, devoid of cross contamination as attested by marker enzyme activity, Western blotting with antilamin antibody, and electron microscopy. InsP4 receptor and Ca(2+)-ATPase were located to the outer nuclear membrane. InsP3 receptor was located to the inner nuclear membrane. ATP or InsP4 induced nuclear calcium uptake. External free calcium concentration, in the medium bathing the nuclei, determined the choice for ATP or InsP4-mediated calcium transport. We present a mechanistic model for nuclear calcium transport. According to this model, calcium can reach the nucleus envelope either by the action of ATP or InsP4. However, the calcium release from the nucleus envelope to the nucleoplasm is mediated by InsP3 through the activation of InsP3 receptor, which is located to the inner nuclear membrane. The action of InsP3 in this process was instantaneous and transient and was sensitive to heparin.

The relationship between capacitative Ca2+ influx and activation of Ca2+-dependent Cl- channels was monitored in intact Xenopus oocytes following stimulation of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptors, through the activity of Ca2+-dependent Cl- channels using the double-electrode voltage-clamp technique. Under the voltage-clamp conditions, t-HT evoked a rapid transient inward current followed by a slowly developing secondary inward current. The secondary current reflected depletion-activated Ca2+ entry. Hyperpolarising pulses evoked sustained Ca2+-dependent Cl- currents when applied during the transient inward current, but evoked hump-like currents which inactivated rapidly when applied during the secondary inward current. Hump currents arose from Ca2+ entering through the depletion-activated pathway. The hump currents inactivated with hyperpolarising pulses at < 5-s intervals, and recovered monoexponentially with a time constant of around 8 s. Currents in response to hyperpolarising pulses during the transient current did not inactivate, suggesting that inactivation was associated with Ca2+ entry. When Ca2+ release evoked by inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] was prevented by heparin injection, hyperpolarising pulses during Ca2+ ionophore application also generated hump currents that were dependent on external Ca2+, inactivated and recovered from inactivation with a similar time course as the humps following 5-HT treatment. Pretreatment with the Ca2+ adenosine 5'-triphosphatase (Ca2+ATPase) inhibitor thapsigargin reduced the rate of rise of the hump current, increased the time-to-peak of the current and slowed the rate of decay. Pharmacological interventions to disrupt the cytoskeleton reduced the amplitude of the hump current. It is suggested that, following hyperpolarisation in the presence of Ca2+ entry, the ensuing Ca2+ influx interacts with Cl- channels in a way that might reflect both Ca2+ inhibition of Ca2+ entry and clustering of Cl- channels in the plasma membrane.

In this study, we have analysed the relationship between Ca2+ pumps and Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive Ca2+ channels in myeloid cells. To study whether sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA)-type Ca(2+)-ATPases are responsible for Ca2+ uptake into Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive Ca2+ stores, we used the three structurally unrelated inhibitors thapsigargin, 2,5-di-t-butylhydroquinone and cyclopiazonic acid. In HL-60 cells, all three compounds precluded formation of the phosphorylated intermediate of SERCA-type Ca(2+)-ATPases. They also decreased, in parallel, ATP-dependent Ca2+ accumulation and the amount of Ins(1,4,5)P3-releasable Ca2+. Immunoblotting with subtype-directed antibodies demonstrated that HL-60 cells contain the Ca2+ pump SERCA2 (subtype b), and the Ca(2+)-release-channel type-1 Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor. In subcellular fractionation studies, SERCA2 and type-1 Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor co-purified. Immunofluorescence studies demonstrated that both type-1 Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor and SERCA2 were evenly distributed throughout the cell in moving neutrophils. During phagocytosis both proteins translocated to the periphagosomal space. Taken together, our results suggest that in myeloid cells (i) SERCA-type Ca(2+)-ATPases function as Ca2+ pumps of Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive Ca2+ stores, and (ii) SERCA2 and type-1 Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor reside either in the same or two tightly associated subcellular compartments.

We studied histamine-induced Ca2+ mobilization in human periodontal ligament (HPDL) cells. Histamine induced a transient rise in intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) and maintained a sustained phase in the presence of extracellular Ca2+. In the absence of extracellular Ca2+, the transient peak was slightly reduced and the sustained phase was decreased to the basal level. The initial rise in [Ca2+]i was attributed to two components: intracellular Ca2+ release and Ca2+ influx, whereas the sustained phase was due to Ca2+ influx. After depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores with thapsigargin, a known Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitor, histamine-induced increase in [Ca2+]i was significantly reduced, suggesting histamine induces Ca2+ release from inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3]- and thapsigargin-sensitive Ca2+ stores. Histamine-induced peak in [Ca2+]i was increased dose-dependently in the presence and absence of extracellular Ca2+. The histamine-mediated response in [Ca2+]i was specifically attenuated by chlorpheniramine (H1 antagonist) but not by cimetidine (H2 antagonist), clearly indicating that activation of H1 receptor mediates histamine-induced Ca2+ mobilization. We next examined the effect of histamine on inositol phosphates formation. Histamine stimulated the formation of inositol phosphates which changed time-dependently. In particular, the formation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 was increased significantly for 10 s. The histamine-induced Ca2+ mobilization caused an increase of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) release which was reduced in excluding extracellular Ca2+. These results indicate that activation of histamine H1 receptor induces the accumulation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 and the following transient increase in [Ca2+]i, and elicits the release of PGE2 which may be coupled with Ca2+ influx.

The histamine H1 receptor mediated increase in cytoplasmic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) was measured in the presence of the known phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor, neomycin. Neomycin (1 mM) inhibited the histamine (100 microM) induced rise in [Ca2+]i to the same extent as observed after blocking Ca2+ entry with LaCl3. Likewise, the increase in [Ca2+]i after re-addition of CaCl2 (2 mM) to extracellular Ca2+ deprived and histamine pretreated cells was strongly reduced by neomycin. However, neomycin did not inhibit the histamine induced formation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) or the release of Ca2+ from internal stores. These results show that neomycin blocks histamine induced Ca2+ entry independent of phospholipase C activation. Inhibition of intracellular store Ca(2+)-ATPase by thapsigargin (1 microM), elicited an increase in [Ca2+]i due to a leakage from the stores, subsequently followed by store-dependent Ca2+ entry. Thapsigargin induced Ca2+ entry was also completely blocked by neomycin. These results indicate that neomycin inhibits histamine and thapsigargin induced Ca2+ entry. This inhibition is most likely exerted at the level of plasma membrane Ca2+ channels.

Adenosine A1 receptor mediated formation of inosito 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) and accumulation of cytoplasmic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) were investigated in DDT1 MF-2 smooth muscle cells. A strong reduction of the adenosine and N6-cyclopentyladenosine (CPA) induced rise in [Ca2+]i was observed after blocking Ca2+ entry across the plasma membrane with LaCl3. This effect of LaCl3 was not observed in the absence of extracellular Ca2+; it was not caused by reduced Ins(1,4,5)P3 formation or changed Ins(1,4,5)P3 induced Ca2+ release, or influenced by temperature. The inhibition of the CPA induced increase in [Ca2+]i by LaCl3 was strongly counteracted in the presence of ortho-vanadate, an inhibitor of plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase. Ortho-vanadate might also reduce protein tyrosine-phosphate phosphatase activity involved in tyrosine kinase mediated phospholipase C (PLC) activation. However, ortho-vanadate and tyrphostin 25, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, did not affect the CPA induced formation of Ins(1,4,5)P3. Taken together, these results show a strong contribution of Ca2+ pumping across the plasma membrane to the regulation of [Ca2+]i mediated by adenosine A1 receptors. Na+/Ca2+ exchange only played a minor role in the initial phase of CPA induced Ca2+ metabolism as measured in low Na+ containing solution. The mechanism by which adenosine A1 receptors activate plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase pumps does not include direct stimulation of pumps, but most likely involves an indirect pathway activated by a rapid increase in [Ca2+]i.

1. The effects of the specific protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, GF109203X, were measured on the cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), and on histamine H1 receptor- and thapsigargin-mediated increases in [Ca2+]i in DDT1 MF-2 smooth muscle cells. 2. After pretreatment of cells with GF109203X (5 microM, 45 min), the histamine (100 microM)-induced initial rise in [Ca2+]i, representing Ca2+ mobilization from internal stores, was inhibited (by 59 +/- 7%). The slowly declining phase of the histamine induced Ca2+ response, reflecting Ca2+ entry, was enhanced (83 +/- 26%) in the presence of the PKC inhibitor. 3. The histamine induced release of Ca2+ from internal stores, measured after blocking Ca2+ entry with LaCl3 was inhibited by GF109203X in a concentration-dependent manner (IC50: 3.1 +/- 1.1 microM). 4. Histamine-induced formation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) was not changed in the presence of GF109203X. 5. The PKC activating phorbol ester, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA, 1 microM), strongly reduced histamine-induced Ins(1,4,5)P3 formation (58 +/- 16%). This effect was reversed by GF109203X (5 microM). Furthermore, PMA diminished histamine evoked Ca2+ release (50 +/- 6%) and blocked Ca2+ entry completely. 6. The rise in [Ca2+]i caused by blocking endoplasmic reticulum Ca2(+)-ATPase with thapsigargin (1 microM), was strongly reduced (57 +/- 3%) after pretreatment of cells with GF109203X. Downregulation of PKC by long-term pretreatment of cells with PMA (1 microM, 48 h) did not abolish this effect of GF109203X (48 +/- 3% inhibition). 7. In permeabilized DDT, MF-2 cells preloaded with 45Ca2+ in the presence of GF109203X, the amount of 45Ca2+ released by Ins(1,4,5)P3 (10 microM) was markedly reduced (42 +/- 9%). GF109203X did not release Ca2+ itself and did not impair Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor function. 8. Uptake of 45Ca2+ by intact cells, representing Ca2+ entry, was enhanced by GF109203X (65 +/- 11%), by histamine (24 +/- 6%) and also by thapsigargin (121 +/- 10%). The GF109203X- and the thapsigargin-induced uptake of 45Ca2+ were not additive. 9. These data suggest that GF109203X reduces the filling-state of intracellular Ins(1,4,5)P3 sensitive Ca2+ stores by inhibiting the Ca2+ uptake into these stores, thereby promoting store-dependent (capacitive) Ca2+ entry.

Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP(3)Rs) are ubiquitous intracellular Ca(2+) release channels whose functional characterization by transfection has proved difficult due to the background contribution of endogenous channels. In order to develop a functional assay to measure recombinant channels, we transiently transfected the rat type I IP(3)R into COS-7 cells. Saponin-permeabilized COS cells transfected with type I IP(3)R showed a 50% increase in inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3))-mediated Ca(2+) release at saturating [IP(3)] (10 micrometer) but no enhancement at subsaturating [IP(3)] (300 nm). However, cotransfection of the IP(3)R and human sarco/endoplasmic reticulum ATPase (SERCA)-2b ATPase cDNA resulted in 60 and 110% increases in Ca(2+) release at subsaturating and saturating doses of IP(3), respectively. IP(3) or adenophostin A failed to release (45)Ca(2+) from microsomal vesicles prepared from cells expressing either type I IP(3)R or SERCA cDNAs alone. However, microsomal vesicles prepared from cells doubly transfected with IP(3)R and SERCA cDNAs released 33.0 +/- 0.04% of the A23187-sensitive pool within 30 s of 1 micrometer adenophostin A addition. Similarly, the initial rate of (45)Ca(2+) influx into oxalate-loaded microsomal vesicles was inhibited by IP(3) only when the microsomes were prepared from COS cells doubly transfected with SERCA-2b and IP(3)R DNA. The absence of a functional contribution from endogenous IP(3)Rs has enabled the use of this assay to measure the Ca(2+) sensitivities of IP(3)-mediated (45)Ca(2+) fluxes through recombinant neuronal type I (SII(+)), peripheral type I (SII(-)), and type III IP(3)Rs. All three channels displayed a biphasic dependence upon [Ca(2+)](cyt). Introduction of mutations D2550A and D2550N in the putative pore-forming region of the type I IP(3)R inhibited IP(3)-mediated (45)Ca(2+) fluxes, whereas the conservative substitution D2550E was without effect. This assay therefore provides a useful tool for studying the regulatory properties of individual IP(3)R isoforms as well as for screening pore mutations prior to more detailed electrophysiological analyses.
