Abstract
Ca2+ is an important second messenger, and it is involved in many cellular processes such as cell death and proliferation. The rise in intracellular Ca2+ levels can be due to the generation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3), which is a product of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) hydrolysis by phospholipases C (PLCs), that leads to Ca2+ release from endoplasmic reticulum by InsP3 receptors (InsP3R). Ca2+ signaling patterns can vary in different regions of the cell and increases in nuclear Ca2+ levels have specific biological effects that differ from those of Ca2+ increase in the cytoplasm. There are PLCs in the cytoplasm and nucleus, but little is known about the functions of nuclear PLCs. This work aimed to characterize phenotypically the human PLCδ4 (hPLCδ4) in mesenchymal stem cells. This nuclear isoform of PLC is present in different cell types and has a possible role in proliferative processes. In this work, hPLCδ4 was found to be mainly nuclear in human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hASC). PLCδ4 knockdown demonstrated that it is essential for hASC proliferation, without inducing cell death. An increase of cells in G1, and a reduction of cells on interphase and G2/M in knockdown cells were seen. Furthermore, PLCδ4 knockdown increased the percentage of senescent cells, p16INK4A+ and p21Cip1 mRNAs expression, which could explain the impaired cell proliferation. The results show that hPLCδ4 is in involved in cellular proliferation and senescence in hASC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neointimal hyperplasia following angioplasty occurs via vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation. The mechanisms involved are not fully understood but include mitogen-activated protein kinases ERK1/2 (extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2). We recently identified the intracellular mediator PEA-15 (phosphoprotein enriched in astrocytes 15) in vascular smooth muscle cells as a regulator of ERK1/2-dependent proliferation in vitro. PEA-15 acts as a cytoplasmic anchor for ERK1/2, preventing nuclear localization and thereby reducing ERK1/2-dependent gene expression. The aim of the current study was to examine the role of PEA-15 in neointimal hyperplasia in vivo. METHOD AND RESULTS Mice deficient in PEA-15 or wild-type mice were subjected to wire injury of the carotid artery. In uninjured arteries from PEA-15-deficient mice, ERK1/2 had increased nuclear translocation and increased basal ERK1/2-dependent transcription. Following wire injury, arteries from PEA-15-deficient mice developed neointimal hyperplasia at an increased rate compared with wild-type mice. This occurred in parallel with an increase in a proliferative marker and vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation. In wild-type mice, PEA-15 expression was decreased in vascular smooth muscle cells at an early stage before any increase in intima:media ratio. This regulation of PEA-15 expression following injury was also observed in an ex vivo human model of hyperplasia. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate, for the first time, a novel protective role for PEA-15 against inappropriate vascular proliferation. PEA-15 expression may also be repressed during vascular injury, suggesting that maintenance of PEA-15 expression is a novel therapeutic target in vascular disease.

Abstract
Vascular tone of resistance arteries and arterioles determines peripheral vascular resistance, contributing to the regulation of blood pressure and blood flow to, and within the body's tissues and organs. Ion channels in the plasma membrane and endoplasmic reticulum of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in these blood vessels importantly contribute to the regulation of intracellular Ca2+ concentration, the primary determinant of SMC contractile activity and vascular tone. Ion channels provide the main source of activator Ca2+ that determines vascular tone, and strongly contribute to setting and regulating membrane potential, which, in turn, regulates the open-state-probability of voltage gated Ca2+ channels (VGCCs), the primary source of Ca2+ in resistance artery and arteriolar SMCs. Ion channel function is also modulated by vasoconstrictors and vasodilators, contributing to all aspects of the regulation of vascular tone. This review will focus on the physiology of VGCCs, voltage-gated K+ (KV) channels, large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (BKCa) channels, strong-inward-rectifier K+ (KIR) channels, ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channels, ryanodine receptors (RyRs), inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs), and a variety of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels that contribute to pressure-induced myogenic tone in resistance arteries and arterioles, the modulation of the function of these ion channels by vasoconstrictors and vasodilators, their role in the functional regulation of tissue blood flow and their dysfunction in diseases such as hypertension, obesity, and diabetes. © 2017 American Physiological Society.

Abstract
Inositol 1, 4, 5-trisphosphate receptor-mediated (IP3R-mediated) calcium (Ca2+) release has been proposed to play an important role in regulating vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) contraction for decades. However, whether and how IP3R regulates blood pressure in vivo remains unclear. To address these questions, we have generated a smooth muscle-specific IP3R triple-knockout (smTKO) mouse model using a tamoxifen-inducible system. In this study, the role of IP3R-mediated Ca2+ release in adult VSMCs on aortic vascular contractility and blood pressure was assessed following tamoxifen induction. We demonstrated that deletion of IP3Rs significantly reduced aortic contractile responses to vasoconstrictors, including phenylephrine, U46619, serotonin, and endothelin 1. Deletion of IP3Rs also dramatically reduced the phosphorylation of MLC20 and MYPT1 induced by U46619. Furthermore, although the basal blood pressure of smTKO mice remained similar to that of wild-type controls, the increase in systolic blood pressure upon chronic infusion of angiotensin II was significantly attenuated in smTKO mice. Taken together, our results demonstrate an important role for IP3R-mediated Ca2+ release in VSMCs in regulating vascular contractility and hypertension.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca2+) plays a central role in excitation, contraction, transcription, and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMs). Precise regulation of intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) is crucial for proper physiological VSM function. Studies over the last several decades have revealed that VSMs express a variety of Ca2+-permeable channels that orchestrate a dynamic, yet finely tuned regulation of [Ca2+]i. In this review, we discuss the major Ca2+-permeable channels expressed in VSM and their contribution to vascular physiology and pathology.

Abstract
The cerebral blood supply is delivered by a surface network of pial arteries and arterioles from which arise (parenchymal) arterioles that penetrate into the cortex and terminate in a rich capillary bed. The critical regulation of CBF, locally and globally, requires precise vasomotor regulation of the intracerebral microvasculature. This vascular region is anatomically unique as illustrated by the presence of astrocytic processes that envelope almost the entire basolateral surface of PAs. There are, moreover, notable functional differences between pial arteries and PAs. For example, in pial VSMCs, local calcium release events ("calcium sparks") through ryanodine receptor (RyR) channels in SR membrane activate large conductance, calcium-sensitive potassium channels to modulate vascular diameter. In contrast, VSMCs in PAs express functional RyR and BK channels, but under physiological conditions, these channels do not oppose pressure-induced vasoconstriction. Here, we summarize the roles of ryanodine receptors in the parenchymal microvasculature under physiologic and pathologic conditions, and discuss their importance in the control of CBF.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP(3)Rs) are a family of tetrameric intracellular calcium (Ca(2+)) release channels that are located on the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) membrane of virtually all mammalian cell types, including smooth muscle cells (SMC). Here, we have reviewed literature investigating IP(3)R expression, cellular localization, tissue distribution, activity regulation, communication with ion channels and organelles, generation of Ca(2+) signals, modulation of physiological functions, and alterations in pathologies in SMCs. Three IP(3)R isoforms have been identified, with relative expression and cellular localization of each contributing to signaling differences in diverse SMC types. Several endogenous ligands, kinases, proteins, and other modulators control SMC IP(3)R channel activity. SMC IP(3)Rs communicate with nearby ryanodine-sensitive Ca(2+) channels and mitochondria to influence SR Ca(2+) release and reactive oxygen species generation. IP(3)R-mediated Ca(2+) release can stimulate plasma membrane-localized channels, including transient receptor potential (TRP) channels and store-operated Ca(2+) channels. SMC IP(3)Rs also signal to other proteins via SR Ca(2+) release-independent mechanisms through physical coupling to TRP channels and local communication with large-conductance Ca(2+)-activated potassium channels. IP(3)R-mediated Ca(2+) release generates a wide variety of intracellular Ca(2+) signals, which vary with respect to frequency, amplitude, spatial, and temporal properties. IP(3)R signaling controls multiple SMC functions, including contraction, gene expression, migration, and proliferation. IP(3)R expression and cellular signaling are altered in several SMC diseases, notably asthma, atherosclerosis, diabetes, and hypertension. In summary, IP(3)R-mediated pathways control diverse SMC physiological functions, with pathological alterations in IP(3)R signaling contributing to disease.

Abstract
Ca(2+) signalling is important for controlling gene transcription. Changes of the cytosolic Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](C)) may promote migration of transcription factors or transcriptional regulators to the nucleus. Changes of the nucleoplasmic Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](N)) can also regulate directly gene expression. [Ca(2+)](N) may change by propagation of [Ca(2+)](C) changes through the nuclear envelope or by direct release of Ca(2+) inside the nucleus. In the last case nuclear and cytosolic signalling can be dissociated. Phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate, phospholipase C and cyclic ADP-ribosyl cyclase are present inside the nucleus. Inositol trisphosphate receptors (IP(3)R) and ryanodine receptors (RyR) have also been found in the nucleus and can be activated by agonists. Furthermore, nuclear location of the synthesizing enzymes and receptors may be atypical, not associated to the nuclear envelope or other membranes. The possible role of nuclear subdomains such as speckles, nucleoplasmic reticulum, multi-macromolecular complexes and nuclear nanovesicles is discussed.

Abstract
Ca(2+) release through inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (InsP(3)R) can be modulated by numerous factors, including input from other signal transduction cascades. These events shape the spatio-temporal characteristics of the Ca(2+) signal and provide fidelity essential for the appropriate activation of effectors. In this study, we investigate the regulation of Ca(2+) release via InsP(3)R following activation of cyclic nucleotide-dependent kinases in the presence and absence of expression of a binding partner InsP(3)R-associated cGMP kinase substrate (IRAG). cGMP-dependent kinase (PKG) phosphorylation of only the S2+ InsP(3)R-1 subtype resulted in enhanced Ca(2+) release in the absence of IRAG expression. In contrast, IRAG bound to each InsP(3)R subtype, and phosphorylation of IRAG by PKG attenuated Ca(2+) release through all InsP(3)R subtypes. Surprisingly, simply the expression of IRAG attenuated phosphorylation and inhibited the enhanced Ca(2+) release through InsP(3)R-1 following cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) activation. In contrast, IRAG expression did not influence the PKA-enhanced activity of the InsP(3)R-2. Phosphorylation of IRAG resulted in reduced Ca(2+) release through all InsP(3)R subtypes during concurrent activation of PKA and PKG, indicating that IRAG modulation is dominant under these conditions. These studies yield mechanistic insight into how cells with various complements of proteins integrate and prioritize signals from ubiquitous signaling pathways.

Abstract
The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of smooth muscles presents many intriguing facets and questions concerning its roles, especially as these change with development, disease, and modulation of physiological activity. The SR's function was originally perceived to be synthetic and then that of a Ca store for the contractile proteins, acting as a Ca amplification mechanism as it does in striated muscles. Gradually, as investigators have struggled to find a convincing role for Ca-induced Ca release in many smooth muscles, a role in controlling excitability has emerged. This is the Ca spark/spontaneous transient outward current coupling mechanism which reduces excitability and limits contraction. Release of SR Ca occurs in response to inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, Ca, and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate, and depletion of SR Ca can initiate Ca entry, the mechanism of which is being investigated but seems to involve Stim and Orai as found in nonexcitable cells. The contribution of the elemental Ca signals from the SR, sparks and puffs, to global Ca signals, i.e., Ca waves and oscillations, is becoming clearer but is far from established. The dynamics of SR Ca release and uptake mechanisms are reviewed along with the control of luminal Ca. We review the growing list of the SR's functions that still includes Ca storage, contraction, and relaxation but has been expanded to encompass Ca homeostasis, generating local and global Ca signals, and contributing to cellular microdomains and signaling in other organelles, including mitochondria, lysosomes, and the nucleus. For an integrated approach, a review of aspects of the SR in health and disease and during development and aging are also included. While the sheer versatility of smooth muscle makes it foolish to have a "one model fits all" approach to this subject, we have tried to synthesize conclusions wherever possible.

Abstract
Background Diminished calcium (Ca2+) transients in response to physiological agonists have been reported in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) from diabetic animals. However, the mechanism responsible was unclear. Methodology/Principal Findings VSMCs from autoimmune type 1 Diabetes Resistant Bio-Breeding (DR-BB) rats and streptozotocin-induced rats were examined for levels and distribution of inositol trisphosphate receptors (IP3R) and the SR Ca2+ pumps (SERCA 2 and 3). Generally, a decrease in IP3R levels and dramatic increase in ryanodine receptor (RyR) levels were noted in the aortic samples from diabetic animals. Redistribution of the specific IP3R subtypes was dependent on the rat model. SERCA 2 was redistributed to a peri-nuclear pattern that was more prominent in the DR-BB diabetic rat aorta than the STZ diabetic rat. The free intracellular Ca2+ in freshly dispersed VSMCs from control and diabetic animals was monitored using ratiometric Ca2+ sensitive fluorophores viewed by confocal microscopy. In control VSMCs, basal fluorescence levels were significantly higher in the nucleus relative to the cytoplasm, while in diabetic VSMCs they were essentially the same. Vasopressin induced a predictable increase in free intracellular Ca2+ in the VSMCs from control rats with a prolonged and significantly blunted response in the diabetic VSMCs. A slow rise in free intracellular Ca2+ in response to thapsigargin, a specific blocker of SERCA was seen in the control VSMCs but was significantly delayed and prolonged in cells from diabetic rats. To determine whether the changes were due to the direct effects of hyperglycemica, experiments were repeated using cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells (A7r5) grown in hyperglycemic and control conditions. In general, they demonstrated the same changes in protein levels and distribution as well as the blunted Ca2+ responses to vasopressin and thapsigargin as noted in the cells from diabetic animals. Conclusions/Significance This work demonstrates that the previously-reported reduced Ca2+ signaling in VSMCs from diabetic animals is related to decreases and/or redistribution in the IP3R Ca2+ channels and SERCA proteins. These changes can be duplicated in culture with high glucose levels.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) is implicated in the regulation of signaling pathways leading to changes in vascular smooth muscle function. Contractile effects produced by H(2)O(2) are due to the phosphorylation of myosin light chain kinase triggered by increases in intracellular calcium (Ca(2+)) from intracellular stores or influx of extracellular Ca(2+). One mechanism for mobilizing such stores involves the phosphoinositide pathway. Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) mobilizes intracellular Ca(2+) by binding to a family of receptors (IP(3)Rs) on the endoplasmic-sarcoplasmic reticulum that act as ligand-gated Ca(2+) channels. IP(3)Rs can be rapidly ubiquitinated and degraded by the proteasome, causing a decrease in cellular IP(3)R content. In this study we show that IP(3)R(1) and IP(3)R(3) are down-regulated when vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) are stimulated by H(2)O(2), through an increase in proteasome activity. Moreover, we demonstrate that the decrease in IP(3)R by H(2)O(2) is accompanied by a reduction in calcium efflux induced by IP(3) in VSMC. Also, we observed that angiotensin II (ANGII) induces a decrease in IP(3)R by activation of NADPH oxidase and that preincubation with H(2)O(2) decreases ANGII-mediated calcium efflux and planar cell surface area in VSMC. The decreased IP(3) receptor content observed in cells was also found in aortic rings, which exhibited a decreased ANGII-dependent contraction after treatment with H(2)O(2). Altogether, these results suggest that H(2)O(2) mediates IP(3)R down-regulation via proteasome activity.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP(3)Rs) regulate diverse physiological functions, including contraction and proliferation. There are three IP(3)R isoforms, but their functional significance in arterial smooth muscle cells is unclear. Here, we investigated relative expression and physiological functions of IP(3)R isoforms in cerebral artery smooth muscle cells. We show that 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate and xestospongin C, membrane-permeant IP(3)R blockers, reduced Ca(2+) wave activation and global intracellular Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)) elevation stimulated by UTP, a phospholipase C-coupled purinergic receptor agonist. Quantitative PCR, Western blotting, and immunofluorescence indicated that all three IP(3)R isoforms were expressed in acutely isolated cerebral artery smooth muscle cells, with IP(3)R1 being the most abundant isoform at 82% of total IP(3)R message. IP(3)R1 knockdown with short hairpin RNA (shRNA) did not alter baseline Ca(2+) wave frequency and global [Ca(2+)](i) but abolished UTP-induced Ca(2+) wave activation and reduced the UTP-induced global [Ca(2+)](i) elevation by approximately 61%. Antibodies targeting IP(3)R1 and IP(3)R1 knockdown reduced UTP-induced nonselective cation current (I(cat)) activation. IP(3)R1 knockdown also reduced UTP-induced vasoconstriction in pressurized arteries with both intact and depleted sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) by approximately 45%. These data indicate that IP(3)R1 is the predominant IP(3)R isoform expressed in rat cerebral artery smooth muscle cells. IP(3)R1 stimulation contributes to UTP-induced I(cat) activation, Ca(2+) wave generation, global [Ca(2+)](i) elevation, and vasoconstriction. In addition, IP(3)R1 activation constricts cerebral arteries in the absence of SR Ca(2+) release by stimulating plasma membrane I(cat).

Abstract
Phenotypic modulation of vascular myocytes is important for vascular development and adaptation. A characteristic feature of this process is alteration in intracellular Ca(2+) handling, which is not completely understood. We studied mechanisms involved in functional changes of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3))- and ryanodine (Ry)-sensitive Ca(2+) stores, store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE), and receptor-operated Ca(2+) entry (ROCE) associated with arterial myocyte modulation from a contractile to a proliferative phenotype in culture. Proliferating, cultured myocytes from rat mesenteric artery have elevated resting cytosolic Ca(2+) levels and increased IP(3)-sensitive Ca(2+) store content. ATP- and cyclopiazonic acid [CPA; a sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA) inhibitor]-induced Ca(2+) transients in Ca(2+)-free medium are significantly larger in proliferating arterial smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) than in freshly dissociated myocytes, whereas caffeine (Caf)-induced Ca(2+) release is much smaller. Moreover, the Caf/Ry-sensitive store gradually loses sensitivity to Caf activation during cell culture. These changes can be explained by increased expression of all three IP(3) receptors and a switch from Ry receptor type II to type III expression during proliferation. SOCE, activated by depletion of the IP(3)/CPA-sensitive store, is greatly increased in proliferating ASMCs. Augmented SOCE and ROCE (activated by the diacylglycerol analog 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol) in proliferating myocytes can be attributed to upregulated expression of, respectively, transient receptor potential proteins TRPC1/4/5 and TRPC3/6. Moreover, stromal interacting molecule 1 (STIM1) and Orai proteins are upregulated in proliferating cells. Increased expression of IP(3) receptors, SERCA2b, TRPCs, Orai(s), and STIM1 in proliferating ASMCs suggests that these proteins play a critical role in an altered Ca(2+) handling that occurs during vascular growth and remodeling.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptors (IP3Rs) are Ca2+ channels that localize to intracellular Ca2+ stores such as the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Recently, IP3Rs were found to participate in the formation of the cytoskeleton and cellular adhesions. In this study, we examined the cellular localization of type I, II, and III IP3Rs to assess their role in cellular adhesion in rat osteoclasts. Rat bone marrow cells were cultured in α-MEM with 10% fetal bovine serum, M-CSF, RANKL, and 1,25(OH)2D3 for 1 week to promote osteoclast formation. Type I, II, and III IP3R expression in the osteoclasts was then examined by RT-PCR. Double-staining was performed using antibodies against type I, II, and III IP3Rs and DiOC6, an ER marker, or TRITC-phalloidin, an actin filament marker. Expression of all three IP3Rs was detected in the newly formed osteoclasts; however, the localization of the type I and II IP3Rs was predominantly close to nuclear, and possibly colocalized with the ER, while the type III IP3Rs were localized to the ER and podosomes, actin-rich adhesion structures in osteoclasts. These findings suggest that type III IP3Rs are associated with osteoclast adhesion.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that, in acutely dispersed canine pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs), depletion of both functionally independent inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3))- and ryanodine-sensitive Ca(2+) stores activates capacitative Ca(2+) entry (CCE). The present study aimed to determine if cell culture modifies intracellular Ca(2+) stores and alters Ca(2+) entry pathways caused by store depletion and hypoxia in canine PASMCs. Intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) was measured in fura 2-loaded cells. Mn(2+) quench of fura 2 signal was performed to study divalent cation entry, and the effects of hypoxia were examined under oxygen tension of 15-18 mmHg. In acutely isolated PASMCs, depletion of IP(3)-sensitive Ca(2+) stores with cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) did not affect initial caffeine-induced intracellular Ca(2+) transients but abolished 5-HT-induced Ca(2+) transients. In contrast, CPA significantly reduced caffeine- and 5-HT-induced Ca(2+) transients in cultured PASMCs. In cultured PASMCs, store depletion or hypoxia caused a transient followed by a sustained rise in [Ca(2+)](i). The transient rise in [Ca(2+)](i) was partially inhibited by nifedipine, whereas the nifedipine-insensitive transient rise in [Ca(2+)](i) was inhibited by KB-R7943, a selective inhibitor of reverse mode Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX). The nifedipine-insensitive sustained rise in [Ca(2+)](i) was inhibited by SKF-96365, Ni(2+), La(3+), and Gd(3+). In addition, store depletion or hypoxia increased the rate of Mn(2+) quench of fura 2 fluorescence that was also inhibited by these blockers, exhibiting pharmacological properties characteristic of CCE. We conclude that cell culture of canine PASMCs reorganizes IP(3) and ryanodine receptors into a common intracellular Ca(2+) compartment, and depletion of this store or hypoxia activates voltage-operated Ca(2+) entry, reverse mode NCX, and CCE.

Abstract
It has been proposed that nuclear and cytosolic Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](N) and [Ca(2+)](C)) may be regulated independently. We address here the issue of whether inositol trisphosphate (IP(3)) can, bypassing changes of [Ca(2+)](C), produce direct release of Ca(2+) into the nucleoplasm. We have used targeted aequorins to selectively measure and compare the changes in [Ca(2+)](C) and [Ca(2+)](N) induced by IP(3) in GH(3) pituitary cells. Heparin, an IP(3) inhibitor that does not permeate the nuclear pores, abolished the [Ca(2+)](C) peaks but inhibited only partly the [Ca(2+)](N) peaks. The permeant inhibitor 2-aminoethoxy-diphenyl-borate (2-APB) blocked both responses. Removal of ATP also inhibited more strongly the [Ca(2+)](C) than [Ca(2+)](N) peak. The [Ca(2+)](N) and [Ca(2+)](C) responses differed also in their sensitivity to IP(3), the nuclear response showing higher affinity. Among IP(3) receptors, type 2 (IP(3)R2) has a higher affinity for IP(3) and is not inactivated by ATP removal. We find that IP(3)R2 immunoreactivity is present inside the nucleus whereas the other IP(3)R subtypes are detected only in the cytoplasm. The nuclear envelope (NE) of GH(3) cells showed deep invaginations into the nucleoplasm, with cytosol and cytoplasmic organella inside. These results indicate that GH(3) pituitary cells possess mechanisms able to produce selective increases of [Ca(2+)](N).

Abstract
The aim of the present study was the characterization of the subtypes of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3R) in rat colonic epithelium. A monoclonal antibody against IP3R1 did not stain the colonic epithelial cells. In contrast, IP3R2 and IP3R3 were found within the epithelium; however, with a distinct intracellular localization and differences in their distribution along the crypt axis. IP3R2 immunoreactivity was found within the nuclei of the epithelial cells. The signal was distributed all over the nucleus and not restricted to the nuclear envelope as demonstrated by counterstaining with lamin B1 and electron microscopical examination after immunogold labelling. In contrast, an antibody against IP3R3 stained the epithelial cells mostly in their apical half in accordance with the typical localization of IP3R in organelles such as the endoplasmic reticulum. In addition, there was a gradient from the surface region towards the crypt fundus, where the IP3R3 signal could not be detected. Despite the strong IP3R3-gradient, in saponin-permeabilized colonic crypts exogenously administered IP3 or adenophostin A evoked a similar depletion of mag-fura-2-loaded intracellular Ca2+ stores in crypt and surface cells suggesting a contribution of the nuclear IP3R2 to the Ca2+ release. This conclusion was confirmed by experiments with isolated nuclei from colonic epithelium, at which IP3 was able to induce changes in the Ca2+ concentration, which were inhibited by 2-aminoethoxy-diphenylborate (2-APB), a blocker of IP3 receptors. These results demonstrate that the colonic epithelial cells undergo changes in IP3R subtype expression during differentiation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The IP3 receptor-1 (IP3R1) mediates Ca2+ signals critical to vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation. The cell cycle-associated transcription factor c-Myb increases Ca2+ at the G1/S transition. Here we show the mechanism through which c-Myb regulates expression of IP3R1. METHODS & RESULTS Ribonuclease protection confirmed transcriptional start (TS), and qRT-PCR revealed a 6-fold increase in IP3R1 mRNA as immortalized VSMC progress from G0 to G1/S. A c-Myb neutralizing antibody decreased IP3R1 mRNA expression 3-fold, and abolished the 3.4-fold increase in IP3R1 protein observed at G1/S. Primary aortic VSMCs in culture and proliferating carotid VSMCs in vivo showed similar regulation of IP3R1 mRNA and protein. Sequence analysis of a 3.1-Kb mouse IP3R1 promoter revealed 17 putative c-Myb binding sites. Reporter assays demonstrated a 2-fold increase in promoter activity in G1/S- versus G0-synchronized VSMCs, which was abolished by functional c-Myb knockdown or deletion of promoter sequences upstream and downstream of TS. Point mutations in Myb sites-13 or -15 significantly blunted G1/S-specific promoter induction in both immortalized and primary VSMCs. Gel shift and ChIP confirmed binding of c-Myb to sites-13 and -15 in G1/S stage VSMCs. CONCLUSION c-Myb regulates cell cycle-associated IP3R1 transcription in VSMCs via specific highly conserved Myb-binding sites in the IP3R1 promoter.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP(3)R) are ligand-gated intracellular Ca(2+)channels that mediate release of Ca(2+) from intracellular stores into the cytosol on activation by second messenger IP(3.). Similarly, IP(3)R mediated changes in cytosolic Ca(2+) concentrations control neuronal functions ranging from synaptic transmission to differentiation and apoptosis. IP(3)R-generated cytosolic Ca(2+) transients also control intracellular Ca(2+) release and subsequent retinal ganglion cell (RGC) physiology and pathophysiology. The distribution of IP(3)R isotypes in primary adult mouse RGC cultures was determined to identify molecular substrates of IP(3)R mediated signaling in these neurons. Immunocytochemical labeling of IP(3)Rs in retinal sections and cultured RGCs was carried out using isoform specific antibodies and was detected with fluorescence microscopy. RGCs were identified by the use of morphologic criteria and RGC-specific immunocytochemical markers, neurofilament 68 kDa, Thy 1.1, and Thy 1.2. RGC morphology and immunoreactivity to neurofilament 68 kDa and Thy 1.1 or Thy 1.2 were identified in both RGC primary cultures and tissue cryosections. RGCs showed localization on intracellular membranes with a differential distribution of IP(3)R isoforms 1, 2, and 3. IP(3)R Types 1 and 3 were detected intracellularly throughout the cell whereas Type 2 was expressed predominantly in soma. Expression of all three IP(3)Rs by RGCs indicates that all IP(3)R types potentially play a role in Ca(2+) homeostasis and Ca(2+) signaling in these cells. Differential localization of IP(3) receptor subtypes in combination with biophysical properties of IP(3)R types may be an important molecular mechanism by which RGCs organize their cytosolic Ca(2+) signals.

Abstract
Vascular damage signals smooth muscle cells to proliferate, often exacerbating existing pathologies. Although the role of changes in "global" Ca2+ in vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cell dedifferentiation has been studied, the role of specific Ca2+ signals in determining VSM phenotype remains relatively unexplored. Earlier work with cultured VSM cells suggests that inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) expression and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ release may be linked to VSM cell proliferation in native tissue. Thus we hypothesized that SR Ca2+ release through IP3Rs in the form of discrete transient signals is necessary for VSM cell proliferation. To investigate this hypothesis, we used mouse cerebral arteries to design an organ culture system that permitted examination of Ca2+ dynamics in native tissue. Explanted arteries were cultured in normal medium with 10% FBS, and appearance of individual VSM cells migrating from explanted arteries (outgrowth cells) was tracked daily. Initial exposure to 10% FBS increased Ca2+ waves in myocytes in the arteries that were blocked by the IP3R antagonist 2-aminoethoxydiphenylborate (2-APB). Inhibition of IP3R opening (via 100 microM 2-APB, 10 microM xestospongin C, or 25 microM U-73122) dramatically reduced outgrowth cell number compared with untreated or ryanodine-treated (10 microM) arteries. Consistent with this finding, 2-APB inhibited cell proliferation, as measured by reduced proliferating cell nuclear antigen immunostaining within 48 h of culture but did not inhibit cell migration. These results indicate that activation of IP3R Ca2+ release is required for VSM cell proliferation in these arteries.

Abstract
The sarco/endoplasmic reticulum (SR/ER) is the primary storage and release site of intracellular calcium (Ca2+) in many excitable cells. The SR is a tubular network, which in smooth muscle (SM) cells distributes close to cellular periphery (superficial SR) and in deeper aspects of the cell (deep SR). Recent attention has focused on the regulation of cell function by the superficial SR, which can act as a buffer and also as a regulator of membrane channels and transporters. Ca2+ is released from the SR via two types of ionic channels [ryanodine- and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-gated], whereas accumulation from thecytoplasm occurs exclusively by an energy-dependent sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase pump (SERCA). Within the SR, Ca2+ is bound to various storage proteins. Emerging evidence also suggests that the perinuclear portion of the SR may play an important role in nuclear transcription. In this review, we detail the pharmacology of agents that alter the functions of Ca2+ release channels and of SERCA. We describe their use and selectivity and indicate the concentrations used in investigating various SM preparations. Important aspects of cell regulation and excitation-contractile activity coupling in SM have been uncovered through the use of such activators and inhibitors of processes that determine SR function. Likewise, they were instrumental in the recent finding of an interaction of the SR with other cellular organelles such as mitochondria. Thus, an appreciation of the pharmacology and selectivity of agents that interfere with SR function in SM has greatly assisted in unveiling the multifaceted nature of the SR.

Abstract
The type 2 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP(3)R2) was identified previously as the predominant isoform in cardiac ventricular myocytes. Here we reported the subcellular localization of InsP(3)R2 to the cardiomyocyte nuclear envelope (NE). The other major known endo/sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium-release channel (ryanodine receptor) was not localized to the NE, indicating functional segregation of these channels and possibly a unique role for InsP(3)R2 in regulating nuclear calcium dynamics. Immunoprecipitation experiments revealed that the NE InsP(3)R2 associates with Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IIdelta (CaMKIIdelta), the major isoform expressed in cardiac myocytes. Recombinant InsP(3)R2 and CaMKIIdelta(B) also co-immunoprecipitated after co-expression in COS-1 cells. Additionally, the amino-terminal 1078 amino acids of the InsP(3)R2 were sufficient for interaction with CaMKIIdelta(B) and associated upon mixing following separate expression. CaMKII can also phosphorylate InsP(3)R2, as demonstrated by (32)P labeling. Incorporation of CaMKII-treated InsP(3)R2 into planar lipid bilayers revealed that InsP(3)-mediated channel open probability is significantly reduced ( approximately 11 times) by phosphorylation via CaMKII. We concluded that the InsP(3)R2 and CaMKIIdelta likely represent two central components of a multiprotein signaling complex, and this raises the possibility that calcium release via InsP(3)R2 in the myocyte NE may activate local CaMKII signaling, which may feedback on InsP(3)R2 function.

Abstract
An increase in intracellular free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) has been shown to be involved in the increase in ciliary beat frequency (CBF) in response to ATP; however, the signaling pathways associated with inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) receptor-dependent Ca(2+) mobilization remain unresolved. Using radioimmunoassay techniques, we have demonstrated the appearance of two IP(3) peaks occurring 10 and 60 s after ATP addition, which was strongly correlated with a release of intracellular Ca(2+) from internal stores and an influx of extracellular Ca(2+), respectively. In addition, ATP-dependent Ca(2+) mobilization required protein kinase C (PKC) and Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II activation. We found an increase in PKC activity in response to ATP, with a peak at 60 s after ATP addition. Xestospongin C, an IP(3) receptor blocker, significantly diminished both the ATP-induced increase in CBF and the initial transient [Ca(2+)](i) component. ATP addition in the presence of xestospongin C or thapsigargin revealed that the Ca(2+) influx is also dependent on IP(3) receptor activation. Immunofluorescence and confocal microscopic studies showed the presence of IP(3) receptor types 1 and 3 in cultured ciliated cells. Immunogold electron microscopy localized IP(3) receptor type 3 to the nucleus, the endoplasmic reticulum, and, interestingly, the plasma membrane. In contrast, IP(3) receptor type 1 was found exclusively in the nucleus and the endoplasmic reticulum. Our study demonstrates for the first time the presence of IP(3) receptor type 3 in the plasma membrane in ciliated cells and leads us to postulate that the IP(3) receptor can directly trigger Ca(2+) influx in response to ATP.

Abstract
A rise in intracellular ionised calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) at sites adjacent to the contractile proteins is a primary signal for contraction in all types of muscles. Recent progress in the development of imaging techniques with special accent on the fluorescence confocal microscopy and new achievements in the synthesis of organelle- and ion-specific fluorochromes provide an experimental basis for study of the relationship between the structural organisation of the living smooth muscle myocyte and the features of calcium signalling at subcellular level. Applying fluorescent confocal microscopy and tight-seal recording of transmembrane ion currents to freshly isolated vascular myocytes we have demonstrated that: (1) Ca(2+) sparks originate from clustered opening of ryanodine receptors (RyRs) and build up a cell-wide increase in [Ca(2+)](i) upon myocyte excitation; (2) spontaneous Ca(2+) sparks occurred at the highest rate at certain preferred locations, frequent discharge sites (FDS), which are associated with a prominent portion of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) located close to the cell membrane; (3) Ca(2+)-dependent K(+) and Cl(-) channels sense the local changes in [Ca(2+)](i) during a calcium spark and thereby couple changes in [Ca(2+)](i) within a microdomain to changes in the membrane potential, thus affecting excitability of the cell; (4) an intercommunication between RyRs and inositol trisphosphate receptors (IP(3)Rs) is one of the important determinants of intracellular calcium dynamics that, in turn, can modulate the cell membrane potential through differential targeting of calcium dependent membrane ion channels. Furthermore, using immunohystochemical approaches in combination with confocal imaging we identified non-contractile cells closely resembling interstitial cells (ICs) of Cajal (which are considered to be pacemaker cells in the gut) in the wall of portal vein and mesenteric artery. Using electron microscopy, tight-seal recording and fluorescence confocal imaging we obtained information on the morphology of ICs and their possible coupling to smooth muscle cells (SMCs), calcium signalling in ICs and their electrophysiological properties. The functions of these cells are not yet fully understood; in portal vein they may act as pacemakers driving the spontaneous activity of the muscle; in artery they may have other a yet unsuspected functions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to correlate the expression of InsP3R subtypes in native vascular and visceral myocytes with specific Ca2+-signaling patterns. METHODS AND RESULTS By Western blot and immunostaining, we showed that rat portal vein expressed InsP3R1 and InsP3R2 but not InsP3R3, whereas rat ureter expressed InsP3R1 and InsP3R3 but not InsP3R2. Acetylcholine induced single Ca2+ responses in all ureteric myocytes but only in 50% of vascular myocytes. In the remaining vascular myocytes, the first transient peak was followed by Ca2+ oscillations. By correlating Ca2+ signals and immunostaining, we revealed that oscillating vascular cells expressed both InsP3R1 and InsP3R2 whereas nonoscillating vascular cells expressed only InsP3R1. Acetylcholine-induced oscillations were not affected by inhibitors of ryanodine receptors, Ca2+-ATPases, Ca2+ influx, and mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter but were inhibited by intracellular infusion of heparin. Using specific antibodies against InsP3R subtypes, we showed that acetylcholine-induced Ca2+ oscillations were specifically blocked by the anti-InsP3R antibody. These data were supported by antisense oligonucleotides targeting InsP3R2, which selectively inhibited Ca2+ oscillations. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that in native smooth muscle cells, a differential expression of InsP3R subtypes encodes specific InsP3-mediated Ca2+ responses and that the presence of the InsP3R2 subtype is required for acetylcholine-induced Ca2+ oscillations in vascular myocytes.

Abstract
In A7r5 vascular smooth muscle cells, the two expressed inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP(3)R) isoforms were differentially localized. IP(3)R1 was predominantly localized in the perinuclear region, whereas IP(3)R3 was homogeneously distributed over the cytoplasm. Prolonged stimulation (1-5 hours) of cells with 3 microM arginine-vasopressin induced a redistribution of IP(3)R1 from the perinuclear region to the entire cytoplasm, whereas the localization of IP(3)R3 appeared to be unaffected. The redistribution process occurred independently of IP(3)R downregulation. No structural changes of the endoplasmic reticulum were observed, but SERCA-type Ca(2+) pumps redistributed similarly to IP(3)R1. The change in IP(3)R1 localization induced by arginine-vasopressin could be blocked by the simultaneous addition of nocodazole or taxol and depended on Ca(2+) release from intracellular stores since Ca(2+)-mobilizing agents such as thapsigargin and cyclopiazonic acid could induce the redistribution. Furthermore, various protein kinase C inhibitors could inhibit the redistribution of IP(3)R1, whereas the protein kinase C activator 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol induced the redistribution. Activation of protein kinase C also induced an outgrowth of the microtubules from the perinuclear region into the cytoplasm, similar to what was seen for the redistribution of IP(3)R1. Finally, blocking vesicular transport at the level of the intermediate compartment inhibited the redistribution. Taken together, these findings suggest a role for protein kinase C and microtubuli in the redistribution of IP(3)R1, which probably occurs via a mechanism of vesicular trafficking.

Abstract
In airway myocytes, like in many cells, Ca(2+) signaling is controlled by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP(3)) via InsP(3) receptors (InsP(3)R) located in the sarco-endoplasmic reticulum. Three types of InsP(3)R exist, labeled Types 1, 2, and 3, which differ in their gating kinetics. We analyze a possible impact of the different gating kinetics of Type 1 and Type 3 InsP(3)R on the time course of cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration in tracheal smooth muscle cells upon agonist stimulation. Previous experimental data in rat tracheal myocytes showed that upon gradually increased stimulation with acetylcholine (ACh), a contractile agonist that acts via InsP(3) production, signal spikes, several spikes with declining maxima, and sustained oscillations appear. Our model reproduces the time courses of cytosolic Ca(2+) measured in tracheal myocytes. Moreover, by postulating slight variations in the model parameters which determine the total number of receptors expressed and the ratio between Type 1 and Type 3 InsP(3)R, it offers an explanation to the experimental observation of qualitatively different responses of cells within a presumably homogeneous tissue.

Abstract
In smooth muscle cells freshly isolated from rabbit portal vein, there was only one site discharging the majority of spontaneous Ca(2+)-release events; the activity of this single site was studied using laser scanning confocal imaging after loading the cells with the fluorescent Ca(2+) indicator fluo-4 acetoxymethyl ester. Localised spontaneous Ca(2+)-release events visualised by line-scan imaging revealed two predominant spatiotemporal patterns: (i) small-amplitude, fast events similar to Ca(2+) sparks in cardiomyocytes and (ii) larger and slower events. The sum of two Gaussian profiles was well fitted to the amplitude histogram (peak frequencies at 1.8 and 3.2 F/F(0)) and spatial spread (full width at half-maximal amplitude) histogram (peak frequencies at 2 and 3.8 microm) for the 230 localised Ca(2+)-release events analysed. The existence of two populations of Ca(2+)-release events was also supported by the histograms of the rise times and half-decay times, which revealed modes at 38 and 65 ms, respectively. Shifting the scan line along the z-axis during imaging from a single discharge site suggested that the appearance of two populations of Ca(2+)-release events is not due to out-of-focus imaging. Both small and large events persisted upon 3-5 min exposure to 1-5 microM nicardipine, but were abolished after 10-15 min exposure to 50-100 microM ryanodine, 0.1 microM thapsigargin or 10 microM cyclopiazonic acid. Only small-amplitude, fast events persisted in the presence of inhibitors of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3))-induced Ca(2+) release, 10 microM xestospongin C or 30 microM 2-aminoethoxy-diphenylborate (2-APB), or in the presence of 2.5 microM U-73122 (a phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor). Coupling between neighbouring Ca(2+)-release domains giving rise to spontaneous [Ca(2+)](i) waves was abolished in the presence of 2-APB. Examination of the saltatory propagation of the waves suggested that the critical factor that determines propagation between domains is a time-dependent change in the sensitivity of ryanodine receptors and/or IP(3) receptors to Ca(2+), which can give rise to 'loose coupling' between release sites. These results suggest that activation of IP(3) receptors (due to the tonic activity of PLC and ongoing production of IP(3)) recruits neighbouring domains of ryanodine receptors, leading to larger Ca(2+) releases and saltatory propagation of [Ca(2+)](i) waves in portal vein myocytes.

Abstract
Stimulation of G protein- or tyrosine kinase-coupled receptors regulates cell proliferation through intracellular Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)) signaling. In A7r5 cells, we confirmed that inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) mediates vasopressin (VP)-evoked Ca(2+) release from intracellular stores and showed that types 1 (IP(3)R(1)) and 3 (IP(3)R(3)) IP(3) receptors were expressed. Using antisera selective for IP(3)R(1) or IP(3)R(3) and another that interacted equally well with both subtypes, together with membranes from SF:9 cells expressing only single IP(3)R subtypes to calibrate immunoblotting, we established that A7r5 cells express 81% IP(3)R(1) and 19% IP(3)R(3). To elucidate the contributions of IP(3)R(1) and IP(3)R(3) to Ca(2+) signaling and proliferation, stable clones expressing promoter-inducible antisense cDNA fragments (-90 to +9) corresponding to the two IP(3)R subtypes were selected. Mild inhibition of IP(3)R(1) (71+/-8% of control level) slightly attenuated the IP(3)-evoked Ca(2+) release (IICR) induced by VP but significantly decreased the subsequent capacitative Ca(2+) entry (CCE) and proliferation. Moderate inhibition (34+/-6%) strongly decreased both IICR and CCE and further blocked proliferation. Complete inhibition almost abolished IICR and CCE and arrested proliferation entirely. Complete inhibition of IP(3)R(3) expression slightly attenuated IICR without affecting CCE or proliferation. In cells microinjected with a low dose of heparin, VP-induced CCE was more susceptible than IICR to mild inhibition of both IP(3)R(1) and IP(3)R(3). A high dose of heparin had a similar effect to complete inhibition of IP(3)R(1) expression: it blocked VP-evoked IICR entirely and CCE by 90%. We conclude that IP(3)R(1), but not IP(3)R(3), is crucial for IICR, CCE, and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells.
