Excessive Accumulation of Intracellular Ca 2+ After Acute Exercise Potentiated Impairment of T-cell Function. Front Physiol 2021; 12:728625. [PMID: 34899372 PMCID: PMC8662941 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2021.728625] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2021] [Accepted: 10/18/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Ca2+ is an important intracellular second messenger known to regulate several cellular functions. This research aimed to investigate the mechanisms of exercise-induced immunosuppression by measuring intracellular calcium levels, Ca2+-regulating gene expression, and agonist-evoked proliferation of murine splenic T lymphocytes. Mice were randomly assigned to the control, sedentary group (C), and three experimental groups, which performed a single bout of intensive and exhaustive treadmill exercise. Murine splenic lymphocytes were separated by density-gradient centrifugation immediately (E0), 3h (E3), and 24h after exercise (E24). Fura-2/AM was used to monitor cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration in living cells. The combined method of carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester (CFSE) labeling and flow cytometry was used for the detection of T cell proliferation. The transcriptional level of Ca2+-regulating genes was quantified by using qPCR. Both basal intracellular Ca2+ levels and agonist (ConA, OKT3, or thapsigargin)-induced Ca2+ transients were significantly elevated at E3 group (p<0.05 vs. control). However, mitogen-induced cell proliferation was significantly decreased at E3 group (p<0.05 vs. control). In parallel, the transcriptional level of plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPases (PMCA), sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPases (SERCA), TRPC1, and P2X7 was significantly downregulated, and the transcriptional level of IP3R2 and RyR2 was significantly upregulated in E3 (p<0.01 vs. control). In summary, this study demonstrated that acute exercise affected intracellular calcium homeostasis, most likely by enhancing transmembrane Ca2+ influx into cells and by reducing expression of Ca2+-ATPases such as PMCA and SERCA. However, altered Ca2+ signals were not transduced into an enhanced T cell proliferation suggesting other pathways to be responsible for the transient exercise-associated immunosuppression.

MEMBRANES 2020; 10:membranes10120425.

Abstract
Ca2+ ions play a variety of roles in the human body as well as within a single cell. Cellular Ca2+ signal transduction processes are governed by Ca2+ sensing and Ca2+ transporting proteins. In this review, we discuss the Ca2+ and the Ca2+-sensing ion channels with particular focus on the structure-function relationship of the Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) ion channel, the Ca2+-activated K+ (KCa2+) ion channels, and their modulation via other cellular components. Moreover, we highlight their roles in healthy signaling processes as well as in disease with a special focus on cancer. As KCa2+ channels are activated via elevations of intracellular Ca2+ levels, we summarize the current knowledge on the action mechanisms of the interplay of CRAC and KCa2+ ion channels and their role in cancer cell development.

Abstract
Twenty-five years ago, the first mammalian Transient Receptor Potential Canonical (TRPC) channel was cloned, opening the vast horizon of the TRPC field. Today, we know that there are seven TRPC channels (TRPC1-7). TRPCs exhibit the highest protein sequence similarity to the Drosophila melanogaster TRP channels. Similar to Drosophila TRPs, TRPCs are localized to the plasma membrane and are activated in a G-protein-coupled receptor-phospholipase C-dependent manner. TRPCs may also be stimulated in a store-operated manner, via receptor tyrosine kinases, or by lysophospholipids, hypoosmotic solutions, and mechanical stimuli. Activated TRPCs allow the influx of Ca2+ and monovalent alkali cations into the cytosol of cells, leading to cell depolarization and rising intracellular Ca2+ concentration. TRPCs are involved in the continually growing number of cell functions. Furthermore, mutations in the TRPC6 gene are associated with hereditary diseases, such as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. The most important recent breakthrough in TRPC research was the solving of cryo-EM structures of TRPC3, TRPC4, TRPC5, and TRPC6. These structural data shed light on the molecular mechanisms underlying TRPCs' functional properties and propelled the development of new modulators of the channels. This review provides a historical overview of the major advances in the TRPC field focusing on the role of gene knockouts and pharmacological tools.

[PMID: 31346209 PMCID: PMC6658532 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-46862-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2019] [Accepted: 06/28/2019] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
ORAI1 Ca2+ channels in the plasma membrane (PM) are gated by STIM1 at endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-PM junctions to effect store-dependent Ca2+ entry into cells, but little is known about how local STIM-ORAI signalling at junctions is coordinated with overall cellular architecture. Filamentous septins can specify cytoskeletal rearrangements and have been found recently to modulate STIM-ORAI signalling. Here we show by super-resolution imaging of ORAI1, STIM1, and septin 4 in living cells that septins facilitate Ca2+ signalling indirectly. Septin 4 does not colocalize preferentially with ORAI1 in resting or stimulated cells, assemble stably at ER-PM junctions, or specify a boundary that directs or confines ORAI1 to junctions. Rather, ORAI1 is recruited to junctions solely through interaction with STIM proteins, while septins regulate the number of ER-PM junctions and enhance STIM1-ORAI1 interactions within junctions. Thus septins communicate with STIM1 and ORAI1 through protein or lipid intermediaries, and are favorably positioned to coordinate Ca2+ signalling with rearrangements in cellular architecture.

TRPC-mediated Ca 2+ signaling and control of cellular functions. Semin Cell Dev Biol 2019; 94:28-39.

Abstract
Canonical members of the TRP superfamily of ion channels have long been recognized as key elements of Ca2+ handling in a plethora of cell types. The emerging role of TRPC channels in human physiopathology has generated considerable interest in their pharmacological targeting, which requires detailed understanding of their molecular function. Although consent has been reached that receptor-phospholipase C (PLC) pathways and generation of lipid mediators constitute the prominent upstream signaling process that governs channel activity, multimodal sensing features of TRPC complexes have been demonstrated repeatedly. Downstream signaling by TRPC channels is similarly complex and involves the generation of local and global cellular Ca2+ rises, which are well-defined in space and time to govern specific cellular functions. These TRPC-mediated Ca2+ signals rely in part on Ca2+ permeation through the channels, but are essentially complemented by secondary mechanisms such as Ca2+ mobilization from storage sites and Na+/Ca2+ exchange, which involve coordinated interaction with signaling partners. Consequently, the control of cell functions by TRPC molecules is critically determined by dynamic assembly and subcellular targeting of the TRPC complexes. The very recent availability of high-resolution structure information on TRPC channel complexes has paved the way towards a comprehensive understanding of signal transduction by TRPC channels. Here, we summarize current concepts of cation permeation in TRPC complexes, TRPC-mediated shaping of cellular Ca2+ signals and the associated control of specific cell functions.
