Abstract
Inorganic polyphosphates (polyP) consist of linear chains of orthophosphate residues, linked by high-energy phosphoanhydride bonds. They are evolutionarily old biopolymers that are present from bacteria to man. No other molecule concentrates as much (bio)chemically usable energy as polyP. However, the function and metabolism of this long-neglected polymer are scarcely known, especially in higher eukaryotes. In recent years, interest in polyP experienced a renaissance, beginning with the discovery of polyP as phosphate source in bone mineralization. Later, two discoveries placed polyP into the focus of regenerative medicine applications. First, polyP shows morphogenetic activity, i.e., induces cell differentiation via gene induction, and, second, acts as an energy storage and donor in the extracellular space. Studies on acidocalcisomes and mitochondria provided first insights into the enzymatic basis of eukaryotic polyP formation. In addition, a concerted action of alkaline phosphatase and adenylate kinase proved crucial for ADP/ATP generation from polyP. PolyP added extracellularly to mammalian cells resulted in a 3-fold increase of ATP. The importance and mechanism of this phosphotransfer reaction for energy-consuming processes in the extracellular matrix are discussed. This review aims to give a critical overview about the formation and function of this unique polymer that is capable of storing (bio)chemically useful energy.

Long-chain polyphosphate in osteoblast matrix vesicles: Enrichment and inhibition of mineralization. Biochim Biophys Acta Gen Subj 2018; 1863:199-209. [PMID: 30312769 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbagen.2018.10.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2018] [Revised: 09/24/2018] [Accepted: 10/05/2018] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) is a fundamental and ubiquitous molecule in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. PolyP has been found in mammalian tissues with particularly high levels of long-chain polyP in bone and cartilage where critical questions remain as to its localization and function. Here, we investigated polyP presence and function in osteoblast-like SaOS-2 cells and cell-derived matrix vesicles (MVs), the initial sites of bone mineral formation. METHODS PolyP was quantified by 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) fluorescence and characterized by enzymatic methods coupled to urea polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Transmission electron microscopy and confocal microscopy were used to investigate polyP localization. A chicken embryo cartilage model was used to investigate the effect of polyP on mineralization. RESULTS PolyP increased in concentration as SaOS-2 cells matured and mineralized. Particularly high levels of polyP were observed in MVs. The average length of MV polyP was determined to be longer than 196 Pi residues by gel chromatography. Electron micrographs of MVs, stained by two polyP-specific staining approaches, revealed polyP localization in the vicinity of the MV membrane. Additional extracellular polyP binds to MVs and inhibits MV-induced hydroxyapatite formation. CONCLUSION PolyP is highly enriched in matrix vesicles and can inhibit apatite formation. PolyP may be hydrolysed to phosphate for further mineralization in the extracellular matrix. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE PolyP is a unique yet underappreciated macromolecule which plays a critical role in extracellular mineralization in matrix vesicles.

Abstract
Phosphate minerals have long been used for the production of phosphorus-based chemicals used in many economic sectors. However, these resources are not renewable and the natural phosphate stocks are decreasing. In this context, the research of new phosphate sources has become necessary. Many types of wastes contain non-negligible phosphate concentrations, such as wastewater. In wastewater treatment plants, phosphorus is eliminated by physicochemical and/or biological techniques. In this latter case, a specific microbiota, phosphate accumulating organisms (PAOs), accumulates phosphate as polyphosphate. This molecule can be considered as an alternative phosphate source, and is directly extracted from wastewater generated by human activities. This review focuses on the techniques which can be applied to enrich and try to isolate these PAOs, and to detect the presence of polyphosphate in microbial cells.

Abstract
Inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) is a widely occurring but only rarely investigated biopolymer which exists in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Only in the last few years, this polymer has been identified to cause morphogenetic activity on cells involved in human bone formation. The calcium complex of polyP was found to display a dual effect on bone-forming osteoblasts and bone-resorbing osteoclasts. Exposure of these cells to polyP (Ca(2+) complex) elicits the expression of cytokines that promote the mineralization process by osteoblasts and suppress the differentiation of osteoclast precursor cells to the functionally active mature osteoclasts dissolving bone minerals. The effect of polyP on bone formation is associated with an increased release of the bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2), a key mediator that activates the anabolic processes leading to bone formation. In addition, polyP has been shown to act as a hemostatic regulator that displays various effects on blood coagulation and fibrinolysis and might play an important role in platelet-dependent proinflammatory and procoagulant disorders.

Abstract
Our understanding of the role of Ca2+ in blue/UV-A photoreceptor signaling in a single cell is limited. Insight into calcium signaling has now been attained in Physcomitrella patens and its cryptochrome and phototropin knock-outs. Physcomitrella patens caulonemal filaments grow in the dark by apical extension and their apical cells are highly polarized. Fura-2-dextran ratio images of the apical cell from wild type (WT), Ppcry1a/1b and PpphotA2/B1/B2 were obtained immediately following UV-A exposure (30 microW cm(-2) at 340 nm for 1,000 ms plus 30 microW cm(-2) at 380 nm for 1,000 ms) [abbreviated as 1,000 ms (340/380 nm)] and demonstrated two intracellular waves: a Ca2+ wave from the growing apical tip through the apical cap, and a wave from the junction of the neighboring cell through the vacuolar, nuclear and plastid regions. In WT, the UV-A-induced tip wave increase had a magnitude of 454.0 +/- 40 nM, traveled at a rate of 3.4 +/- 0.7 microm s(-1) and was complete within 26.6 +/- 2.3 s, while the basal vacuolar wave had a magnitude of 596.8 +/- 110 nM, a rate of 8.4 +/- 0.8 microm s(-1) and duration of 25.3 +/- 4.9 s. Subsequent Ca2+ spikes of similar magnitude followed these waves. The amplitude of the Ca2+ waves in the apical cap and basal vacuolar regions of Ppcry1a/1b were higher than those in the WT, while the duration of those in PpphotA2/B1/B2 was longer. Subsequent Ca2+ spikes occurred in WT and Ppcry1a/1b but not in PpphotA2/B1/B2. When Mn2+ was added to the culture medium, the [Ca2+](cyt) increase was delayed, did not move as a wave and lasted longer. The results indicate that plants respond to blue light and UV-A radiation by generating a wave of changes in the [Ca2+](cyt). The characteristics of these Ca2+ waves were dependent upon cryptochrome and phototropin. Blue/UV-A signaling in P. patens appears to differ from that in Arabidopsis.

Abstract
The rate of polyphosphate accumulation in extraradical hyphae of an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus was investigated by conventional histochemistry and a new enzymatic method using a bacterial enzyme, polyphosphate kinase. Marigold (Tagetes patula cv. Bonanza Orange) was inoculated with Archaeospora leptoticha and grown under P-deficient conditions. Extraradical hyphae were harvested at 0, 1, 3 and 24 h after 1 mm P-application. PolyP levels were assessed by both metachromasy of Toluidine blue O and polyphosphate kinase which converted polyP to ATP followed by the ATP-luciferase assay. Percentage of hyphae with metachromatic granules was increased from 25 to 44% from 0 to 1 h, and a maximum of 50% was reach by 3 h. Polyphosphate content was doubled from 1 to 3 h after P-application (4.8-10.0 mol as Pi mg-1 protein) at a rate of 46.4 ± 15.1 nmol min-1 mg-1 . The rate of polyphosphate accumulation in the hyphae was surprisingly rapid as those of polyphosphate-hyper accumulating microorganisms. The enzymatic method employed in the present study allows highly specific and sensitive assessment of polyphosphate in the mycorrhizal system.

Abstract
An enzymatic method for the determination of pyrophosphate which has been applied to renal calculi is described. The method involves the preconcentration of pyrophosphate using anionic exchange resin and development of the enzymatic reactions with the pyrophosphate retained on the resin. The study of calculi treatment according to calculi composition is also reported. The pyrophosphate content was dependent on the calculi composition. The highest amount of pyrophosphate was found in hydroxyapatite calculi (of the order of 10 microg/g), struvite and oxalate calculi showed a lower amount (the order was 2.5 and 4.5 microg/g, respectively) and was not detected in uric acid and cystine stones. The method was also successfully applied to the determination of pyrophosphate in human urine. For urinary pyrophosphate determination, a modification based on a clean-up of urine using activated carbon has been proposed. Pyrophosphate in human urine was of the order of 4 mg l(-1).

Abstract
Inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) has been identified and measured in different stages of Trypanosoma cruzi. Millimolar levels (in terms of P(i) residues) in chains of less than 50 residues long, and micromolar levels in chains of about 700--800 residues long, were found in different stages of T. cruzi. Analysis of purified T. cruzi acidocalcisomes indicated that polyPs were preferentially located in these organelles. This was confirmed by visualization of polyPs in the acidocalcisomes using 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole. A rapid increase (within 2--4 h) in the levels of short and long chain polyPs was detected during trypomastigote to amastigote differentiation and during the lag phase of growth of epimastigotes (within 12--24 h). Levels rapidly decreased after the epimastigotes resumed growth. Short and long chain polyP levels rapidly decreased upon exposure of epimastigotes to hypo-osmotic or alkaline stresses, whereas levels increased after hyperosmotic stress. Ca(2+) release from acidocalcisomes by a combination of ionophores (ionomycin and nigericin) was associated with the hydrolysis of short and long chain polyPs. In agreement with these results, acidocalcisomes were shown to contain polyphosphate kinase and exopolyphosphatase activities. Together, these results suggest a critical role for these organelles in the adaptation of the parasite to environmental changes.

Abstract
• Regulation of polyphosphate metabolism is reported in arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis. • Marigold (Tagetes patula) plants inoculated with Glomus coronatum or Glomus etunicatum were grown in mesh bags. Exopolyphosphatase activity in extra- and intraradical hyphae was measured and characterized. The hyphae were stained with Neutral red to show acidic vacuoles in which polyphosphate synthesis might occur. • Exopolyphosphate activity was differently expressed between the extra- and intraradical hyphae, as indicated by different pH optima; high activity was observed at pH 5.0 in the intraradical hyphae of both fungal species. Km values were lower at neutral pH with long-chain polyphosphate, whereas acidic activity showed lower Km with short-chain polyphosphate. Both extra- and intradical hyphae had acidic vacuoles. Polyphosphate occurred in the hyphae of the high-P, but not the low-P treatment. By contrast, exopolyphosphatase activity and vacuolar acidity were relatively constant irrespective of polyphosphate status. • The fungi have at least two different exopolyphosphatase-type enzymes which are differently expressed between extra- and intraradical hyphae; polyphosphate accumulation might be a dynamic balance between synthesis and hydrolysis.

Significant amounts of inorganic polyphosphates and of polyphosphate-degrading exopolyphosphatase activity were detected in human mandibular-derived osteoblast-like cells. The amount of both soluble and insoluble long-chain polyphosphate in unstimulated osteoblast-like cells was higher than in human gingival cells, erythrocytes, peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and human blood plasma. The cellular content of polyphosphate in osteoblast-like cells strongly decreased after a combined treatment of the cells with the stimulators of osteoblast proliferation and differentiation, dexamethasone, beta-glycerophosphate, epidermal growth factor, and ascorbic acid. The amount of soluble long-chain polyphosphate, but not the amount of insoluble long-chain polyphosphate, further decreased after an additional treatment with 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3). The decrease in polyphosphate content during treatment with dexamethasone, beta-glycerophosphate, epidermal growth factor, and ascorbic acid was accompanied by a decrease in exopolyphosphatase, pyrophosphatase, and alkaline phosphatase activity. However, additional treatment with 1,25(OH)2D3 resulted in an increase in these enzyme activities. Osteoblast-like cell exopolyphosphatase activity and exopolyphosphatase activity in yeast, rat tissues, and human leukemia cell line HL60 were inhibited by the bisphosphonates etidronate and, to a lesser extent, clodronate and pamidronate. From our results, we assume that inorganic polyphosphate may be involved in modulation of the mineralization process in bone tissue.
