Abstract
Evaporation of sweat on the skin surface is the major mechanism for dissipating heat in humans. The secretory capacity of sweat glands (SWGs) declines during aging, leading to heat intolerance in the elderly, but the mechanisms responsible for this decline are poorly understood. We investigated the molecular changes accompanying SWG aging in mice, where sweat tests confirmed a significant reduction of active SWGs in old mice relative to young mice. We first identified SWG-enriched mRNAs by comparing the skin transcriptome of Eda mutant Tabby male mice, which lack SWGs, with that of wild-type control mice by RNA-sequencing analysis. This comparison revealed 171 mRNAs enriched in SWGs, including 47 mRNAs encoding 'core secretory' proteins such as transcription factors, ion channels, ion transporters, and trans-synaptic signaling proteins. Among these, 28 SWG-enriched mRNAs showed significantly altered abundance in the aged male footpad skin, and 11 of them, including Foxa1, Best2, Chrm3, and Foxc1 mRNAs, were found in the 'core secretory' category. Consistent with the changes in mRNA expression levels, immunohistology revealed that higher numbers of secretory cells from old SWGs express the transcription factor FOXC1, the protein product of Foxc1 mRNA. In sum, our study identified mRNAs enriched in SWGs, including those that encode core secretory proteins, and altered abundance of these mRNAs and proteins with aging in mouse SWGs.

Abstract
Accurate characterisation of gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST) is important for prognosis and the choice of targeted therapies. Histologically the diagnosis relies on positive immunostaining of tumours for KIT (CD117) and DOG1. Here we report that GISTs also abundantly express the type 3 Sarco/Endoplasmic Reticulum Calcium ATPase (SERCA3). SERCA enzymes transport calcium ions from the cytosol into the endoplasmic reticulum and play an important role in regulating the intensity and the periodicity of calcium-induced cell activation. GISTs from various localisations, histological and molecular subtypes or risk categories were intensely immunopositive for SERCA3 with the exception of PDGFRA-mutated cases where expression was high or moderate. Strong SERCA3 expression was observed also in normal and hyperplastic interstitial cells of Cajal. Decreased SERCA3 expression in GIST was exceptionally observed in a zonal pattern, where CD117 staining was similarly decreased, reflecting clonal heterogeneity. In contrast to GIST, SERCA3 immunostaining of spindle cell tumours and other gastrointestinal tumours resembling GIST was negative or weak. In conclusion, SERCA3 immunohistochemistry may be useful for the diagnosis of GIST with high confidence, when used as a third marker in parallel with KIT and DOG1. Moreover, SERCA3 immunopositivity may be particularly helpful in cases with negative or weak KIT or DOG1 staining, a situation that may be encountered de novo, or during the spontaneous or therapy-induced clonal evolution of GIST.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) calcium homeostasis plays an essential role in cellular calcium signaling, intra-ER protein chaperoning and maturation, as well as in the interaction of the ER with other organelles. Calcium is accumulated in the ER by sarco/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPases (SERCA enzymes) that generate by active, ATP-dependent transport, a several thousand-fold calcium ion concentration gradient between the cytosol (low nanomolar) and the ER lumen (high micromolar). SERCA enzymes are coded by three genes that by alternative splicing give rise to several isoforms, which can display isoform-specific calcium transport characteristics. SERCA expression levels and isoenzyme composition vary according to cell type, and this constitutes a mechanism whereby ER calcium homeostasis is adapted to the signaling and metabolic needs of the cell, depending on its phenotype, its state of activation and differentiation. As reviewed here, in several normal epithelial cell types including bronchial, mammary, gastric, colonic and choroid plexus epithelium, as well as in mature cells of hematopoietic origin such as pumps are simultaneously expressed, whereas in corresponding tumors and leukemias SERCA3 expression is selectively down-regulated. SERCA3 expression is restored during the pharmacologically induced differentiation of various cancer and leukemia cell types. SERCA3 is a useful marker for the study of cell differentiation, and the loss of SERCA3 expression constitutes a previously unrecognized example of the remodeling of calcium homeostasis in tumors.

Abstract
17β-Estradiol (E2) is the main estrogenic hormone in the body and exerts many cardiovascular protective effects. Via three receptors known to date, including estrogen receptors α (ERα) and β (ERβ) and the G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1 (GPER, aka GPR30), E2 regulates numerous calcium-dependent activities in cardiovascular tissues. Nevertheless, effects of E2 and its receptors on components of the calcium signaling machinery (CSM), the underlying mechanisms, and the linked functional impact are only beginning to be elucidated. A picture is emerging of the reciprocality between estrogen biology and Ca2+ signaling. Therein, E2 and GPER, via both E2-dependent and E2-independent actions, moderate Ca2+-dependent activities; in turn, ERα and GPER are regulated by Ca2+ at the receptor level and downstream signaling via a feedforward loop. This article reviews current understanding of the effects of E2 and its receptors on the cardiovascular CSM and vice versa with a focus on mechanisms and combined functional impact. An overview of the main CSM components in cardiovascular tissues will be first provided, followed by a brief review of estrogen receptors and their Ca2+-dependent regulation. The effects of estrogenic agonists to stimulate acute Ca2+ signals will then be reviewed. Subsequently, E2-dependent and E2-independent effects of GPER on components of the Ca2+ signals triggered by other stimuli will be discussed. Finally, a case study will illustrate how the many mechanisms are coordinated to moderate Ca2+-dependent activities in the cardiovascular system.

Abstract
Sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum calcium adenosine triphosphatase is responsible for transporting cytosolic calcium into the sarcoplasmic reticulum and endoplasmic reticulum to maintain calcium homeostasis. Sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum calcium adenosine triphosphatase is the dominant isoform expressed in cardiac tissue, which is regulated by endogenous protein inhibitors, post-translational modifications, hormones as well as microRNAs. Dysfunction of sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum calcium adenosine triphosphatase is associated with heart failure, which makes sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum calcium adenosine triphosphatase a promising target for heart failure therapy. This review summarizes current approaches to ameliorate sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum calcium adenosine triphosphatase function and focuses on phospholamban, an endogenous inhibitor of sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum calcium adenosine triphosphatase, pharmacological tools and gene therapies.

Abstract
Sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ adenosine triphosphatase (SERCA)2a, a critical regulator of calcium homeostasis, is known to be decreased in heart failure. Patients with myocarditis or dilated cardiomyopathy develop autoantibodies to SERCA2a suggesting that they may have pathogenetic significance. In this report, we describe epitope mapping analysis of SERCA2a in A/J mice that leads us to make five observations: 1) SERCA2a contains multiple T cell epitopes that induce varying degrees of myocarditis. One epitope, SERCA2a 971-990, induces widespread atrial inflammation without affecting noncardiac tissues; the cardiac abnormalities could be noninvasively captured by echocardiography, electrocardiography, and magnetic resonance microscopy imaging. 2) SERCA2a 971-990-induced disease was associated with the induction of CD4 T cell responses and the epitope preferentially binds MHC class II/IAk rather than IEk By creating IAk/and IEk/SERCA2a 971-990 dextramers, the T cell responses were determined by flow cytometry to be Ag specific. 3) SERCA2a 971-990-sensitized T cells produce both Th1 and Th17 cytokines. 4) Animals immunized with SERCA2a 971-990 showed Ag-specific Abs with enhanced production of IgG2a and IgG2b isotypes, suggesting that SERCA2a 971-990 can potentially act as a common epitope for both T cells and B cells. 5) Finally, SERCA2a 971-990-sensitized T cells were able to transfer disease to naive recipients. Together, these data indicate that SERCA2a is a critical autoantigen in the mediation of atrial inflammation in mice and that our model may be helpful to study the inflammatory events that underlie the development of conditions such as atrial fibrillation in humans.

Abstract
Unregulated increases in cellular Ca2+ homeostasis are a hallmark of pathophysiological conditions and a key trigger of cell death. Endothelial cells cultured under physiologic O2 conditions (5% O2) exhibit a reduced cytosolic Ca2+ response to stimulation. The mechanism for reduced plateau [Ca2+]i upon stimulation was due to increased sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA)-mediated reuptake rather than changes in Ca2+ influx capacity. Agonist-stimulated phosphorylation of the SERCA regulatory protein phospholamban was increased in cells cultured under 5% O2. Elevation of cytosolic and mitochondrial [Ca2+] and cell death after prolonged ionomycin treatment, as a model of Ca2+ overload, were lower when cells were cultured long-term under 5% compared with 18% O2. This protection was abolished by cotreatment with the SERCA inhibitor cyclopiazonic acid. Taken together, these results demonstrate that culturing cells under hyperoxic conditions reduces their ability to efficiently regulate [Ca2+]i, resulting in greater sensitivity to cytotoxic stimuli.-Keeley, T. P., Siow, R. C. M., Jacob, R., Mann, G. E. Reduced SERCA activity underlies dysregulation of Ca2+ homeostasis under atmospheric O2 levels.

Inhibition and conformational change of SERCA3b induced by Bcl-2. BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA-PROTEINS AND PROTEOMICS 2016; 1865:121-131.

Abstract
An interaction of Bcl-2 with SERCA had been documented in vitro using the SERCA1a isoform isolated from rat skeletal muscle [Dremina, E. S., Sharov, V. S., Kumar, K., Azidi, A., Michaelis, E. K., Schöneich, C. (2004) Biochem. J. 383 (361-370)]. Here, we demonstrate the interaction of Bcl-2 with the SERCA3b isoform both in vitro and in cell culture. In vitro, the interaction of Bcl-2 with SERCA3b was studied using Bcl-2∆21, a truncated form of human Bcl-2, and microsomes isolated from SERCA3b-overexpressing HEK-293 cells. For these experiments, SERCA3b was quantified by a combination of amino acid analysis and Western blotting. We observed that Bcl-2∆21 both inactivates SERCA3b and co-immunoprecipitates with SERCA3b. The incubation with Bcl-2∆21 changes the distribution of SERCA3b during sucrose density gradient centrifugation, likely as the result of Bcl-2∆21-induced conformational change of SERCA3b. When SERCA3b-overexpressing HEK-293 cells were co-transfected with Bcl-2, Bcl-2-dependent SERCA3b inactivation was observed. In these cells, Bcl-2 interaction with SERCA3b was demonstrated by co-immunoprecipitation. Furthermore, overexpression of Bcl-2 reduced fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) labeling of SERCA3b. Together, our data provide evidence for the interaction of Bcl-2 with SERCA3b in vitro and in cell culture, and for Bcl-2-dependent conformational and functional changes of SERCA3b.

Abstract
Despite the great progress in cardiovascular health and clinical care along with marked decline in morbidity and mortality, cardiovascular diseases remain the leading causes of death and disability in the developed world. New therapeutic approaches, targeting not only systematic but also causal dysfunction, are ultimately needed to provide a valuable alternative for treatment of complex cardiovascular diseases. In heart failure, there are currently a number of trials that have been either completed or are ongoing targeting the sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase pump (SERCA2a) gene transfer in the context of heart failure. Recently, a phase 2 trial was completed, demonstrating safety and suggested benefit of adeno-associated virus type 1/SERCA2a gene transfer in advanced heart failure, supporting larger confirmatory trials. The experimental and clinical data suggest that, when administrated through perfusion, virus vector carrying SERCA2a can also transduce vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells (EC and SMC) thereby improving the clinical benefit of gene therapy. Indeed, recent advances in understanding the molecular basis of vascular dysfunction point towards a reduction of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ uptake and an impairment of Ca2+ cycling in vascular EC and SMC from patients and preclinical models with cardiac diseases or with cardiovascular risk factors such as diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, coronary artery diseases, as well as other conditions such as pulmonary hypertension. In recent years, several studies have established that SERCA2a gene-based therapy could be an efficient option to treat vascular dysfunction. This review focuses on the recent finding showing the beneficial effects of SERCA2a gene transfer in vascular EC and SMC.

Abstract
A monolayer of endothelial cells (ECs) lines the lumen of blood vessels and forms a multifunctional transducing organ that mediates a plethora of cardiovascular processes. The activation of ECs from as state of quiescence is, therefore, regarded among the early events leading to the onset and progression of potentially lethal diseases, such as hypertension, myocardial infarction, brain stroke, and tumor. Intracellular Ca2+ signals have long been know to play a central role in the complex network of signaling pathways regulating the endothelial functions. Notably, recent work has outlined how any change in the pattern of expression of endothelial channels, transporters and pumps involved in the modulation of intracellular Ca2+ levels may dramatically affect whole body homeostasis. Vascular ECs may react to both mechanical and chemical stimuli by generating a variety of intracellular Ca2+ signals, ranging from brief, localized Ca2+ pulses to prolonged Ca2+ oscillations engulfing the whole cytoplasm. The well-defined spatiotemporal profile of the subcellular Ca2+ signals elicited in ECs by specific extracellular inputs depends on the interaction between Ca2+ releasing channels, which are located both on the plasma membrane and in a number of intracellular organelles, and Ca2+ removing systems. The present article aims to summarize both the past and recent literature in the field to provide a clear-cut picture of our current knowledge on the molecular nature and the role played by the components of the Ca2+ machinery in vascular ECs under both physiological and pathological conditions.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum calcium homeostasis is involved in a multitude of signaling, as well as "house-keeping" functions that control cell growth, differentiation or apoptosis in every human/eukaryotic cell. Calcium is actively accumulated in the endoplasmic reticulum by Sarco/Endoplasmic Reticulum Calcium transport ATPases (SERCA enzymes). SERCA-dependent calcium transport is the only calcium uptake mechanism in this organelle, and therefore the regulation of SERCA function by the cell constitutes a key mechanism to adjust calcium homeostasis in the endoplasmic reticulum depending on the cell type and its state of differentiation. The direct pharmacological modulation of SERCA activity affects cell differentiation and survival. SERCA expression levels can undergo significant changes during cell differentiation or tumorigenesis, leading to modified endoplasmic reticulum calcium storage. In several cell types such as cells of hematopoietic origin or various epithelial cells, two SERCA genes (SERCA2 and SERCA3) are simultaneously expressed. Expression levels of SERCA3, a lower calcium affinity calcium pump are highly variable. In several cell systems SERCA3 expression is selectively induced during differentiation, whereas during tumorigenesis and blastic transformation SERCA3 expression is decreased. These observations point at the existence of a cross-talk, via the regulation of SERCA3 levels, between endoplasmic reticulum calcium homeostasis and the control of cell differentiation, and show that endoplasmic reticulum calcium homeostasis itself can undergo remodeling during differentiation. The investigation of the anomalies of endoplasmic reticulum differentiation in tumor and leukemia cells may be useful for a better understanding of the contribution of calcium signaling to the establishment of malignant phenotypes.

Abstract
Biological aging represents the major risk factor for the development of heart failure (HF), malignancies, and neurodegenerative diseases. While risk factors such as lifestyle patterns, genetic traits, blood lipid levels, and diabetes can contribute to its development, advancing age remains the most determinant predictor of cardiac disease. Several parameters of left ventricular function may be affected with aging, including increased duration of systole, decreased sympathetic stimulation, and increased left ventricle ejection time, while compliance decreases. In addition, changes in cardiac phenotype with diastolic dysfunction, reduced contractility, left ventricular hypertrophy, and HF, all increase in incidence with age. Given the limited capacity that the heart has for regeneration, reversing or slowing the progression of these abnormalities poses a major challenge. In this chapter, we present a discussion on the molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of cardiomyopathies and HF in aging and the potential involvement of specific genes identified as primary mediators of these diseases.

Abstract
Ca2+-ATPases (pumps) are key actors in the regulation of Ca2+ in eukaryotic cells and are thus essential to the correct functioning of the cell machinery. They have high affinity for Ca2+ and can efficiently regulate it down to very low concentration levels. Two of the pumps have been known for decades (the SERCA and PMCA pumps); one (the SPCA pump) has only become known recently. Each pump is the product of a multigene family, the number of isoforms being further increased by alternative splicing of the primary transcripts. The three pumps share the basic features of the catalytic mechanism but differ in a number of properties related to tissue distribution, regulation, and role in the cellular homeostasis of Ca2+. The molecular understanding of the function of the pumps has received great impetus from the solution of the three-dimensional structure of one of them, the SERCA pump. These spectacular advances in the structure and molecular mechanism of the pumps have been accompanied by the emergence and rapid expansion of the topic of pump malfunction, which has paralleled the rapid expansion of knowledge in the topic of Ca2+-signaling dysfunction. Most of the pump defects described so far are genetic: when they are very severe, they produce gross and global disturbances of Ca2+ homeostasis that are incompatible with cell life. However, pump defects may also be of a type that produce subtler, often tissue-specific disturbances that affect individual components of the Ca2+-controlling and/or processing machinery. They do not bring cells to immediate death but seriously compromise their normal functioning.

Abstract
Background Calcium signaling plays an important role in B lymphocyte survival and activation, and is critically dependent on the inositol-1,4,5-tris-phosphate-induced release of calcium stored in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Calcium is accumulated in the ER by Sarco/Endoplasmic Reticulum Calcium ATPases (SERCA enzymes), and therefore these enzymes play an important role in ER calcium homeostasis and in the control of B of cell activation. Because Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) can immortalize B cells and contributes to lymphomagenesis, in this work the effects of the virus on SERCA-type calcium pump expression and calcium accumulation in the endoplasmic reticulum of B cells was investigated. Results Two Sarco-Endoplasmic Reticulum Calcium transport ATPase isoforms, the low Ca2+-affinity SERCA3, and the high Ca2+-affinity SERCA2 enzymes are simultaneously expressed in B cells. Latency type III infection of Burkitt's lymphoma cell lines with immortalization-competent virus expressing the full set of latency genes selectively decreased the expression of SERCA3 protein, whereas infection with immortalization-deficient virus that does not express the EBNA2 or LMP-1 viral genes was without effect. Down-modulation of SERCA3 expression could be observed upon LMP-1, but not EBNA2 expression in cells carrying inducible transgenes, and LMP-1 expression was associated with enhanced resting cytosolic calcium levels and increased calcium storage in the endoplasmic reticulum. Similarly to virus-induced B cell immortalisation, SERCA3 expression was also decreased in normal B cells undergoing activation and blastic transformation in germinal centers of lymph node follicles. Conclusion The data presented in this work indicate that EBV-induced immortalization leads to the remodelling of ER calcium homeostasis of B cells by LMP-1 that copies a previously unknown normal phenomenon taking place during antigen driven B cell activation. The functional remodelling of ER calcium homeostasis by down-regulation of SERCA3 expression constitutes a previously unknown mechanism involved in EBV-induced B cell immortalisation.

Abstract
Ca(2+) signaling plays a key role in normal and abnormal platelet functions. Understanding platelet Ca(2+) signaling requires the knowledge of proteins involved in this process. Among these proteins are Ca(2+)ATPases or Ca(2+) pumps that deplete the cytosol of Ca(2+) ions. Here, we will particularly focus on two Ca(2+) pump families: the plasma membrane Ca(2+)ATPases (PMCAs) that extrude cytosolic Ca(2+) towards the extracellular medium and the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)ATPases (SERCAs) that pump Ca(2+) into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In the present review, we will summarize data on platelet Ca(2+)ATPases including their identification and biogenesis. First of all, we will present the Ca(2+)ATPase genes and their isoforms expressed in platelets. We will especially focus on a member of the SERCA family, SERCA3, recently found to give rise to a number of species-specific isoforms. Next, we will describe the differences in Ca(2+)ATPase patterns observed in human and rat platelets. Last, we will analyze how the expression of Ca(2+)ATPase isoforms changes during megakaryocytic maturation and show that megakaryocytopoiesis is associated with a profound reorganization of the expression and/or activity of Ca(2+)ATPases. Taken together, these data provide new aspects of investigations to better understand normal and abnormal platelet Ca(2+) signaling.

Abstract
The sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPases (SERCAs) play a crucial role in regulating free cytosolic Ca2+ concentration in diverse cell types. It has been shown that recombinant SERCA3, when measured in heterologous systems, exhibits low apparent affinity for Ca2+; however, Ca2+ affinity of native SERCA3 in an endogenous setting has not been examined. Such a measurement is complicated, because SERCA3 is always coexpressed with the housekeeping isoform SERCA2b. We used a fluorescence-based assay for monitoring continuous Ca2+ uptake into microsomes to examine the properties of endogenous human SERCA3 and SERCA2b. The kinetic parameters were derived using a cooperative two-component uptake model for Ca2+ activation, and the values assigned to SERCA3 were confirmed using the highly specific human SERCA3 inhibitory antibody PL/IM430. First, using recombinant human SERCA3 and SERCA2b proteins transiently expressed in HEK-293 cells, we confirmed the previously observed low apparent Ca2+ affinity for SERCA3 compared with SERCA2b (1.10 ± 0.04 vs. 0.26 ± 0.01 μM), and using mixtures of recombinant protein isoforms, we validated the two-component uptake model. Then we determined apparent Ca2+ affinity for SERCA proteins present endogenously in cultured Jurkat T lymphocytes and freshly isolated human tonsil lymphocytes. The apparent Ca2+ affinity in these two preparations was 1.04 ± 0.07 and 1.1 ± 0.2 μM for SERCA3 and 0.27 ± 0.02 and 0.26 ± 0.01 μM for SERCA2b, respectively. Our data demonstrate, for the first time, that affinity for Ca2+ is inherently lower for SERCA3 expressed in situ than for other SERCA isoforms.

Abstract
The sarco/endoplasmatic reticulum calcium-ATPase (SERCA) translocates Ca(2+) from cytosol to the lumen of the ER and thus regulates Ca(2+) homeostasis, perturbations of which have been suggested to contribute to cancer. We have previously detected an increased number of alterations in the ATP2A2 gene in various cancer types and in the ATP2A3 gene in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Here, we further analyzed the ATP2A3 gene in colon, lung, and CNS cancers. We identified a statistically significant increase of alterations in each (colon cancer, p=0.0052, lung cancer, p=0.0026, CNS tumors, p=0.0045) cancer type, and all 3 types together (p=0.0016). Epigenetic study of the ATP2A3 gene indicated an unchanged methylation status, whereas expression of the ATP2A3 gene was normal for exon 14 mutations and reduced in connection with a nucleotide change in intron VI in all studied cancer types. Identification of a significant number of alterations in cancer patients suggests that ATP2A3 is involved in increased cancer susceptibility in humans. The mostly normal expression and methylation status of the ATP2A3 gene, as well as the absence of somatic alterations, further suggest that the ATP2A3 gene may not act as a classical tumor suppressor gene, but rather haplo-insufficiency of this gene may be enough to change the cell and tissue environment in such a way to predispose to cancer development.

Abstract
The central importance of calcium clearance proteins, and their regulators, in the modulation of myocardial contractility and intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) has long been established. Key players identified include the Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchanger, the Na(+)-K(+) ATPase, the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase and associated phospholamban. Gene-targeted and transgenic murine models have been critical in the elucidation of their function. The study of these proteins in the regulation of contractile parameters in vascular smooth muscle, on the other hand, is less well studied. More recently, gene-targeted and transgenic models have expanded our knowledge of Ca(2+) clearance proteins and their role in both tonic and phasic smooth muscle contractility. In this review, we will briefly treat the mechanisms which underlie Ca(2+) clearance in smooth muscle. These will be addressed in light of studies using gene-modified mouse models, the results of which will be compared and contrasted with those in the cardiomyocyte. The recently identified human mutations in phospholamban, which lead to dilated cardiomyopathy, are also present in vascular and other smooth muscle. Given the importance of these Ca(2+) clearance systems to modulation of smooth muscle, it is likely that mutations will also lead to smooth muscle pathology.

Abstract
The sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase2 (SERCA2) is downregulated in cardiac hypertrophy with decompensation. We sought to determine whether mice heterozygous for the SERCA2 allele would develop greater bladder hypertrophy and decompensation than their wild-type littermates following partial bladder outlet obstruction (pBOO). We found that following 4 wk of surgically created pBOO, SERCA2 heterozygous murine bladders showed significantly less hypertrophy, improved in vitro cystometry performance, diminished expression of the slow myosin isoform A analyzed by RT-PCR, a significant drop in nuclear translocation of nuclear factor of activated T cells by EMSA, and decreased cell proliferation within the smooth muscle layer following 5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine labeling compared with their wild-type littermates. Thus, in contrast to cardiac muscle, deletion of a SERCA2 allele confers protection against bladder hypertrophy in a murine model of pBOO. Compensatory mechanisms in heterozygous mice seem to be related to the calcineurin pathway. Further studies are underway to better define the molecular basis of this observation, which has potential clinical applications.

Abstract
The sarcoendoplasmic reticulum (SR) calcium transport ATPase (SERCA) is a pump that transports calcium ions from the cytoplasm into the SR. It is present in both animal and plant cells, although knowledge of SERCA in the latter is scant. The pump shares the catalytic properties of ion-motive ATPases of the P-type family, but has distinctive regulation properties. The SERCA pump is encoded by a family of three genes, SERCA1, 2, and 3, that are highly conserved but localized on different chromosomes. The SERCA isoform diversity is dramatically enhanced by alternative splicing of the transcripts, occurring mainly at the COOH-terminal. At present, more than 10 different SERCA isoforms have been detected at the protein level. These isoforms exhibit both tissue and developmental specificity, suggesting that they contribute to unique physiological properties of the tissue in which they are expressed. The function of the SERCA pump is modulated by the endogenous molecules phospholamban (PLB) and sarcolipin (SLN), expressed in cardiac and skeletal muscles. The mechanism of action of PLB on SERCA is well characterized, whereas that of SLN is only beginning to be understood. Because the SERCA pump plays a major role in muscle contraction, a number of investigations have focused on understanding its role in cardiac and skeletal muscle disease. These studies document that SERCA pump expression and activity are decreased in aging and in a variety of pathophysiological conditions including heart failure. Recently, SERCA pump gene transfer was shown to be effective in restoring contractile function in failing heart muscle, thus emphasizing its importance in muscle physiology and its potential use as a therapeutic agent.

Abstract
Elevations in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration are the usual initial response of endothelial cells to hormonal and chemical transmitters and to changes in physical parameters, and many endothelial functions are dependent upon changes in Ca2+ signals produced. Endothelial cell Ca2+ signalling shares similar features with other electrically non-excitable cell types, but has features unique to endothelial cells. This chapter discusses the major components of endothelial cell Ca2+ signalling.

Abstract
Histamine, known to induce Ca2+ oscillations in endothelial cells, was used to alter Ca2+ cycling. Treatment of HUVEC (human umbilical-vein endothelial cell)-derived EA.hy926 cells with histamine for 1-3 days increased the levels of SERCA (sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase) 3, but not of SERCA 2b, transcripts and proteins. Promoter-reporter gene assays demonstrated that this increase in expression was due to activation of SERCA 3 gene transcription. The effect of histamine was abolished by mepyramine, but not by cimetidine, indicating that the H1 receptor, but not the H2 receptor, was involved. The histamine-induced up-regulation of SERCA 3 was abolished by cyclosporin A and by VIVIT, a peptide that prevents calcineurin and NFAT (nuclear factor of activated T-cells) from interacting, indicating involvement of the calcineurin/NFAT pathway. Histamine also induced the nuclear translocation of NFAT. NFAT did not directly bind to the SERCA 3 promoter, but activated Ets-1 (E twenty-six-1), which drives the expression of the SERCA 3 gene. Finally, cells treated with histamine and loaded with fura 2 exhibited an improved capacity in eliminating high cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations, in accordance with an increase in activity of a low-affinity Ca2+-ATPase, like SERCA 3. Thus chronic treatment of endothelial cells with histamine up-regulates SERCA 3 transcription. The effect of histamine is mediated by the H1R (histamine 1 receptor) and involves activation of the calcineurin/NFAT pathway. By increasing the rate of Ca2+ sequestration, up-regulation of SERCA 3 counteracts the cytosolic increase in Ca2+ concentration.

Abstract
The mammary gland is subjected to extensive calcium loads during lactation to support the requirements of milk calcium enrichment. Despite the indispensable nature of calcium homeostasis and signaling in regulating numerous biological functions, the mechanisms by which systemic calcium is transported into milk by the mammary gland are far from completely understood. Furthermore, the implications of calcium signaling in terms of regulating proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis in the breast are currently uncertain. Deregulation of calcium homeostasis and signaling is associated with mammary gland pathophysiology and as such, calcium transporters, channels and binding proteins represent potential drug targets for the treatment of breast cancer.

Abstract
P-type Ca2+-ATPases of the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum (SERCAs) and plasma membrane (PMCAs) are responsible for maintaining the Ca2+ gradients across cellular membranes that are required for regulation of Ca2+-mediated signaling and other biological processes. Gene-targeting studies of SERCA isoforms 1, 2, and 3 and PMCA isoforms 1, 2, and 4 have confirmed some of the general functions proposed for these pumps, such as a major role in excitation-contraction coupling for SERCA1 and SERCA2 and housekeeping functions for PMCA1 and SERCA2, but have also revealed some unexpected phenotypes. These include squamous cell cancer and plasticity in the regulation of Ca2+-mediated exocytosis in SERCA2 heterozygous mutant mice, modulation of Ca2+ signaling in SERCA3-deficient mice, deafness and balance disorders in PMCA2 null mice, and male infertility in PMCA4 null mice. These unique phenotypes provide new information about the cellular functions of these pumps, the requirement of their activities for higher order physiological processes, and the pathophysiological consequences of pump dysfunction.

Abstract
The calcium homeostasis of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is connected to a multitude of cell functions involved in intracellular signal transduction, control of proliferation, programmed cell death, or the synthesis of mature proteins. Calcium is accumulated in the ER by various biochemically distinct sarco/endoplasmic reticulum calcium transport ATPase isoenzymes (SERCA isoforms). Experimental data indicate that the SERCA composition of some carcinoma and leukaemia cell types undergoes significant changes during differentiation, and that this is accompanied by modifications of SERCA-dependent calcium accumulation in the ER. Because ER calcium homeostasis can also influence cell differentiation, we propose that the modulation of the expression of various SERCA isoforms, and in particular, the induction of the expression of SERCA3-type proteins, is an integral part of the differentiation program of some cancer and leukaemia cell types. The SERCA content of the ER may constitute a new parameter by which the calcium homeostatic characteristics of the organelle are adjusted. The cross-talk between ER calcium homeostasis and cell differentiation may have some implications for the better understanding of the signalling defects involved in the acquisition and maintenance of the malignant phenotype.

Abstract
Sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+ (SERCA) pumps are important for cell signaling. Three different genes, SERCA1, 2, and 3, encode these pumps. Most tissues, including vascular smooth muscle, express a splice variant of SERCA2 (SERCA2b), whereas SERCA3a is widely distributed in tissues such as vascular endothelium, tracheal epithelium, mast cells, and lymphoid cells. SERCA2b protein is readily inactivated by peroxynitrite that may be formed during cardiac ischemia reperfusion or during immune response after infection. Here, we compared the peroxynitrite sensitivity of SERCA2b and SERCA3a by using microsomes prepared from HEK-293T cells overexpressing the pumps. We incubated the microsomes with different concentrations of peroxynitrite and determined Ca2+ uptake, Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase, Ca2+-dependent formation of acylphosphate intermediate, and protein mobility in Western blots. Ca2+ uptake, Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase, and Ca2+-dependent formation of acylphosphate intermediate were inactivated for both SERCA2b and SERCA3a, but the latter was more resistant to the inactivation. Western blots showed that SERCA2b and SERCA3a proteins oligomerized after treatment with peroxynitrite, but each with a slightly different pattern. Compared with monomers, the oligomers may be less efficient in forming the acylphosphate intermediate and in conducting the remainder of the steps in the reaction cycle. We conclude that the resistance of SERCA3a to peroxynitrite may aid the cells expressing them in functioning during exposure to oxidative stress.

Abstract
The monoclonal antibody PL/IM430 has previously been reported to uncouple Ca(2+) transport from ATP hydrolysis in platelet membranes (Hack, N., Wilkinson, J. M., and Crawford, N. (1988) Biochem. J. 250, 355-361). More recently, we have demonstrated that this antibody is specific for human SERCA3 (Poch, E., Leach, S., Snape, S., Cacic, T., MacLennan, D. H., and Lytton, J. (1998) Am. J. Physiol. 275, C1449-C1458). In this paper, we have extended the analysis of the PL/IM430-SERCA3 interaction. Using HEK293 cells to express human SERCA3a, we were able to measure both ATP-mediated, oxalate-dependent (45)Ca(2+) uptake and Ca(2+)-dependent ATP hydrolysis activities due exclusively to SERCA3. Treatment with PL/IM430 inhibited both activities almost identically, with a maximal inhibition of 81 and 73% and a half-maximal concentration of 8.3 and 5.9 microg/ml, for Ca(2+) uptake and ATP hydrolysis, respectively. We conclude that PL/IM430 does inhibit SERCA3 activity but does not uncouple Ca(2+) transport from ATP hydrolysis. Using a combination of partial proteolysis, GST fusion protein expression, and mutation of residues that differ between rat and human SERCA3, we have identified human SERCA3 amino acids Pro(8) and Glu(192) as essential to forming the PL/IM430 epitope. PL/IM430 thus recognizes a linearly noncontiguous set of amino acids within the actuator domain of human SERCA3. We propose that PL/IM430 inhibits SERCA3 activity by sterically preventing movement of the actuator domain into a catalytically critical position in the E2 conformation of the enzyme.

Abstract
Steady-state and transient-kinetic studies were conducted to characterize the overall and partial reactions of the Ca(2+)-transport cycle mediated by the human sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase 3 (SERCA3) isoforms: SERCA3a, SERCA3b, and SERCA3c. Relative to SERCA1a, all three human SERCA3 enzymes displayed a reduced apparent affinity for cytosolic Ca(2+) in activation of the overall reaction due to a decreased E(2) to E(1)Ca(2) transition rate and an increased rate of Ca(2+) dissociation from E(1)Ca(2). At neutral pH, the ATPase activity of the SERCA3 enzymes was not significantly enhanced upon permeabilization of the microsomal vesicles with calcium ionophore, indicating a difference from SERCA1a with respect to regulation of the lumenal Ca(2+) level (either an enhanced efflux of lumenal Ca(2+) through the pump in E(2) form or insensitivity to inhibition by lumenal Ca(2+)). Other differences from SERCA1a with respect to the overall ATPase reaction were an alkaline shift of the pH optimum, increased catalytic turnover rate at pH optimum (highest for SERCA3b, the isoform with the longest C terminus), and an increased sensitivity to inhibition by vanadate that disappeared under equilibrium conditions in the absence of Ca(2+) and ATP. The transient-kinetic analysis traced several of the differences from SERCA1a to an enhancement of the rate of dephosphorylation of the E(2)P phosphoenzyme intermediate, which was most pronounced at alkaline pH and increased with the length of the alternatively spliced C terminus.

Abstract
Intracellular Ca(2+)-transport ATPases exert a pivotal role in the endoplasmic reticulum and in the compartments of the cellular secretory pathway by maintaining a sufficiently high lumenal Ca(2+) (and Mn(2+)) concentration in these compartments required for an impressive number of vastly different cell functions. At the same time this lumenal Ca(2+) represents a store of releasable activator Ca(2+) controlling an equally impressive number of cytosolic functions. This review mainly focuses on the different Ca(2+)-transport ATPases found in the intracellular compartments of mainly animal non-muscle cells: the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA) pumps. Although it is not our intention to treat the ATPases of the specialized sarcoplasmic reticulum in depth, we can hardly ignore the SERCA1 pump of fast-twitch skeletal muscle since its structure and function is by far the best understood and it can serve as a guide to understand the other members of the family. In a second part of this review we describe the relatively novel family of secretory pathway Ca(2+)/Mn(2+) ATPases (SPCA), which in eukaryotic cells are primarily found in the Golgi compartment.

Abstract
We reported previously that the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase type 3 (SERCA3) gene is expressed in many tissues and in a subset of cells such as endothelial, epithelial, and lymphoid lineages. Here we analyzed the mechanisms involved in the regulation of transcription of the SERCA3 gene in endothelial cells. The promoter of the murine SERCA3 gene was isolated, and a single transcription initiation site located 301 bp upstream of the translation initiation site was identified. Analysis of the transcriptional activity of fragments of the SERCA3 promoter showed the existence of a minimal promoter region located between bases -97 and +153 that contains one ETS-binding site (EBS) and two Sp1 elements that are essential for basal transcription. Mutation of the EBS or of the Sp1 sites abolished the basal activity of the promoter. We identified Ets-1 and Sp1 among endothelial nuclear factors that recognize the EBS and Sp1 sites on the promoter. Furthermore, transactivation of the -97/+301 promoter fragment by Ets-1 requires the presence of both the EBS and Sp1 sites, suggesting an interaction of the transcription factors on the gene promoter. Finally, overexpression of Ets-1 induced the expression of SERCA3 in endothelial cells and in fibroblasts.

Abstract
The biochemical functions of intracellular and plasma membrane Ca2+-transporting ATPases in the control of cytosolic and organellar Ca2+ levels are well established, but the physiological roles of specific isoforms are less well understood. There appear to be three different types of Ca2+ pumps in mammalian tissues: the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPases (SERCAs), which sequester Ca2+ within the endoplasmic or sarcoplasmic reticulum, the plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPases (PMCAs), which extrude Ca2+ from the cell, and the putative secretory pathway Ca2+-ATPase (SPCA), the function of which is poorly understood. This review describes the results of recent analyses of mouse models with null mutations in the genes encoding SERCA and PMCA isoforms and genetic studies of SERCA and SPCA dysfunction in both humans and model organisms. These studies are yielding important insights regarding the physiological functions of individual Ca2+-transporting ATPases in vivo.

Abstract
The mouse has been used extensively for generating transgenic animal models to study cardiovascular disease. Recently, a number of transgenic mouse models have been created to investigate the importance of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+)transport proteins in cardiac pathophysiology. However, the expression and regulation of cardiac SR Ca(2+)ATPase and other Ca(2+)transport proteins have not been studied in detail in the mouse. In this study, we used multiplex RNase mapping analysis to determine SERCA2, phospholamban (PLB), and Na(+)/Ca(2+)-exchanger (NCX-1) gene expression throughout mouse heart development and in hypo/hyperthyroid animals. Our results demonstrate that the expression of SERCA2 and PLB mRNA increase eight-fold from fetal to adult stages, indicating that SR function increases with heart development. In contrast, the expression of the Na(+)/Ca(2+)-exchanger gene is two-fold higher in fetal heart compared to adult. Our study also makes the important observation that in hypothyroidic hearts the NCX-1 mRNA and protein levels were upregulated, whereas the SERCA2 mRNA/protein levels were downregulated. In hyperthyroidic hearts, however, an opposite response was identified. These findings are important and point out that the expression of NCX-1 is regulated antithetically to that of SERCA2 during heart development and in response to alterations in thyroid hormone levels.

Abstract
Endothelium from rat aorta expresses sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+(SERCA) pump gene SERCA3 where as the smooth muscle expresses SERCA2. This has led to the postulate that vascular endothelium expresses SERCA3. To test this postulate, we examined the SERCA2 and SERCA3 mRNA expression in endothelium and smooth muscle dissected from coronary artery, coronary vein, aorta and vena cava of pig. Smooth muscle from all arteries and veins expressed only the SERCA2 mRNA. Endothelium from coronary artery, coronary vein and aorta expressed both SERCA2 and SERCA3 mRNA but the endothelium from vena cava did not express SERCA3 mRNA although it expressed SERCA2. These observations support the postulate that vascular endothelium expresses SERCA3 but the affirmation is equivocal because vena cava endothelium does not express SERCA3.

Abstract
Endo/sarcoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+-pumps are important for cell survival and communication but they are inactivated by reactive oxygen species (ROS). We have previously reported that the Ca2+-pump isoform SERCA3a is more resistant than SERCA2b to damage by peroxide. Since peroxide and superoxide differ in their redox potentials, we now report the effects of superoxide on the two Ca2+-pump isoforms. We isolated microsomes from HEK293 cells transiently transfected with SERCA2b or SERCA3a cDNA. We exposed these microsomes to superoxide which was generated using xanthine plus xanthine oxidase and catalase to prevent accumulation of peroxide due to superoxide dismutation. Superoxide damaged the Ca2+-transport activity of both isoforms but SERCA3a was damaged at higher concentrations of superoxide and upon longer periods of exposures than was SERCA2b. Thus the SERCA3a isoform is more resistant than SERCA2b to inactivation by both superoxide and peroxide.

Abstract
Sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase 3 (SERCA3), an isoform of the intracellular Ca(2+) pump that has been shown to mediate endothelium-dependent relaxation of vascular smooth muscle, is also expressed in tracheal epithelium. To determine its possible role in regulation of airway mechanical function, we compared tracheal contractility in gene-targeted mice deficient in SERCA3 (SERCA3(-)) with that in wild-type tracheae. Cumulative addition of ACh elicited concentration-dependent increases in isometric force (ED(50) = 2 microM, maximum force = 8 mN/mm(2)) that were identical in SERCA3(-) and wild-type tracheae. After ACh stimulation, substance P (SP) elicited a transient relaxation (42.6 +/- 3.2%, n = 28) in both tracheae. However, the rate of relaxation was significantly (P < 0.04, n = 9) more rapid in the wild-type [half-time (t(1/2)) = 34.3 s] than in the SERCA3(-) (t(1/2) = 61.6 s) trachea. The SP relaxation was reduced by rubbing the trachea, indicative of epithelial cell involvement. This was verified using a perfused trachea preparation. SP in the outside medium had no effect, whereas SP in the perfusate bathing the epithelial side elicited a relaxation. Nitric oxide synthase inhibition (0.2 mM N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine) reduced the SP relaxation by 36.5 +/- 12.5%, whereas the SP effect was abolished by eicosanoid inhibition (10 microM indomethacin). ATP also elicited an epithelium-dependent relaxation similar to SP but with a more rapid relaxation in the SERCA3(-) trachea than in the wild-type trachea. Our results indicate that SERCA3 gene ablation does not directly affect smooth muscle, which is consistent with the distribution of the isoform, but suggest that SERCA3 plays a role in epithelial cell modulation of airway smooth muscle function.

Abstract
The sarcoplasmic (or endoplasmic) reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA)-3 has been implicated in the possible dysregulation of Ca2+ homeostasis that accompanies the pathology of hypertension and diabetes. We report the molecular cloning of two alternatively spliced transcripts from the human SERCA3 gene, ATP2A3, that encode proteins that differ at their carboxy termini by 36 amino acids. SERCA3 transcripts were most abundantly expressed in lymphoid tissues, intestine, pancreas, and prostate. The two human SERCA3 proteins encoded by alternatively spliced transcripts were recognized by the monoclonal antibody PL/IM430 and demonstrated Ca2+ uptake and ATPase activity with an apparent Ca2+ affinity 0.5 pCa unit lower than that of other SERCA gene products. The subcellular distribution of SERCA3 protein was indistinguishable from that of SERCA2b, with expression in the nuclear envelope and in the endoplasmic reticulum throughout the cell. Two variant SERCA3 constructs, huS3-I and huS3-II, were isolated that encode proteins with three amino acid differences: Ala-673 (in huS3-I) substituted for Thr (in huS3-II), Ile-817 substituted for Met, and an insertion of Glu-994. huS3-I displayed a 10-fold lower capacity to transport Ca2+ than huS3-II.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The response of ventricular myocytes to pressure overload is heterogeneous and not spatially coordinated. We investigated whether or not the alterations in SERCA and RyR gene expression are homogeneous within the myocardium. METHODS AND RESULTS The cellular distribution of mRNAs and proteins encoding the 2 sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) isoforms (SERCA 2a and 2b) and 2 Ca2+ release channels (the ryanodine receptor, RyR, and the IP3 receptor, IP3R) were analyzed by in situ hybridization and immunofluorescence, respectively. Analyses were performed during early (1 and 5 days) and late (1 month) stages of cardiac hypertrophy induced in rat by thoracic aortic stenosis (AS). The results indicated that 1 and 5 days after AS, the cellular distribution of SERCA 2a and RyR2 mRNAs in right ventricle and atrium was similar to controls but the mRNA levels appeared to decrease in some areas of the left ventricle (LV). One month after AS, the distribution of SERCA 2a mRNA and protein became heterogeneous throughout the LV, whereas RyR2 mRNA and protein levels were decreased in a homogeneous manner. SERCA 2b, poorly expressed in both cardiomyocytes and vessels of controls, was increased 4-fold 1 month after AS in coronary arteries only. In both sham (Sh) and AS, SERCA 3 and IP3R mRNAs were mainly found in the vessels. CONCLUSIONS In severe hypertrophy, decreased accumulation of SERCA 2a was heterogeneous and not compensated by an induction of SERCA 2b in the cardiomyocytes. Decrease in RyR2 expression was more homogeneous and not compensated by an increased IP3R expression.

Abstract
Pulmonary endothelium forms a semiselective barrier that regulates fluid balance and leukocyte trafficking. During the course of lung inflammation, neurohumoral mediators and oxidants act on endothelial cells to induce intercellular gaps permissive for transudation of proteinaceous fluid from blood into the interstitium. Intracellular signals activated by neurohumoral mediators and oxidants that evoke intercellular gap formation are incompletely understood. Cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) and cAMP are two signals that importantly dictate cell-cell apposition. Although increased [Ca2+]i promotes disruption of the macrovascular endothelial cell barrier, increased cAMP enhances endothelial barrier function. Furthermore, during the course of inflammation, elevated endothelial cell [Ca2+]i decreases cAMP to facilitate intercellular gap formation. Given the significance of both [Ca2+]i and cAMP in mediating cell-cell apposition, this review addresses potential sites of cross talk between these two intracellular signaling pathways. Emerging data also indicate that endothelial cells derived from different vascular sites within the pulmonary circulation exhibit distinct sensitivities to permeability-inducing stimuli; that is, elevated [Ca2+]i promotes macrovascular but not microvascular barrier disruption. Thus this review also considers the roles of [Ca2+]i and cAMP in mediating site-specific alterations in endothelial permeability.

Abstract
Visceral smooth muscle cells (VSMC) play an essential role, through changes in their contraction-relaxation cycle, in the maintenance of homeostasis in biological systems. The features of these cells differ markedly by tissue and by species; moreover, there are often regional differences within a given tissue. The biophysical features used to investigate ion channels in VSMC have progressed from the original extracellular recording methods (large electrode, single or double sucrose gap methods), to the intracellular (microelectrode) recording method, and then to methods for recording from membrane fractions (patch-clamp, including cell-attached patch-clamp, methods). Remarkable advances are now being made thanks to the application of these more modern biophysical procedures and to the development of techniques in molecular biology. Even so, we still have much to learn about the physiological features of these channels and about their contribution to the activity of both cell and tissue. In this review, we take a detailed look at ion channels in VSMC and at receptor-operated ion channels in particular; we look at their interaction with the contraction-relaxation cycle in individual VSMC and especially at the way in which their activity is related to Ca2+ movements and Ca2+ homeostasis in the cell. In sections II and III, we discuss research findings mainly derived from the use of the microelectrode, although we also introduce work done using the patch-clamp procedure. These sections cover work on the electrical activity of VSMC membranes (sect. II) and on neuromuscular transmission (sect. III). In sections IV and V, we discuss work done, using the patch-clamp procedure, on individual ion channels (Na+, Ca2+, K+, and Cl-; sect. IV) and on various types of receptor-operated ion channels (with or without coupled GTP-binding proteins and voltage dependent and independent; sect. V). In sect. VI, we look at work done on the role of Ca2+ in VSMC using the patch-clamp procedure, biochemical procedures, measurements of Ca2+ transients, and Ca2+ sensitivity of contractile proteins of VSMC. We discuss the way in which Ca2+ mobilization occurs after membrane activation (Ca2+ influx and efflux through the surface membrane, Ca2+ release from and uptake into the sarcoplasmic reticulum, and dynamic changes in Ca2+ within the cytosol). In this article, we make only limited reference to vascular smooth muscle research, since we reviewed the features of ion channels in vascular tissues only recently.

Abstract
Human chromosome 17-specific genomic clones extending over 90 kilobases (kb) of DNA and coding for sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase 3 (SERCA3) were isolated. The presence of the D17S1828 genetic marker in the cosmid contig enabled us to map the SERCA3 gene (ATP2A3) 11 centimorgans from the top of the short arm p of chromosome 17, in the vicinity of the cystinosis gene locus. The SERCA3 gene contains 22 exons spread over 50 kb of genomic DNA. The exon/intron boundaries are well conserved between human SERCA3 and SERCA1 genes, except for the junction between exons 8 and 9 which is found in the SERCA1 gene but not in SERCA3 and SERCA2 genes. The transcription start site (+1) is located 152 nucleotides (nt) upstream of the AUG codon. The 5'-flanking region, including exon 1, is embedded in a 1.5-kb CpG island and is characterized by the absence of a TATA box and by the presence of 14 putative Sp1 sites, 11 CACCC boxes, 5 AP-2-binding motifs, 3 GGCTGGGG motifs, 3 CANNTG boxes, a GATA motif, as well as single sites for Ets-1, c-Myc, and TFIIIc. Functional promoter analysis indicated that the GC-rich region (87% G + C) from -135 to -31 is of critical importance in initiating SERCA3 gene transcription in Jurkat cells. Exon 21 (human, 101 base pairs; mouse, 86 base pairs) can be alternatively excluded, partially included, or totally included, thus generating, respectively, SERCA3a (human and mouse, 999 amino acids (aa)), SERCA3b (human, 1043 aa; mouse, 1038 aa), or SERCA3c (human, 1024 aa; mouse, 1021 aa) isoforms with different C termini. Expression of the mouse SERCA3 isoforms in COS-1 cells demonstrated their ability to function as active pumps, although with different apparent affinities for Ca2+.

Abstract
The sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA) type 1 and 2 genes are alternatively spliced at their 3' end. We hypothesized that similar mechanism may occur for SERCA 3. Two spliced variants were identified by RNase protection analysis. We then isolated and sequenced the 3' end portion of the mouse SERCA 3 gene, and confirmed the presence of an alternative mRNA transcript by sequencing a cDNA fragment obtained by RT-PCR. Tissue distribution of the alternatively spliced mRNAs was studied by RT-PCR: SERCA 3b was the only isoform expressed in endothelial cells from aorta and heart and also was the major isoform in lung and kidney whereas SERCA 3a and 3b were coexpressed in trachea, intestine, thymus, spleen, and fetal liver.

Abstract
The type-3 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) receptor is the major isoform expressed in 16HBE14o- cells from bronchial mucosa, representing 93% at the mRNA level as determined by ratio reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and about 81% at the protein level as determined with isoform-specific antibodies (Sienaert, I., Huyghe, S., Parys, J. B., Malfait, M., Kunzelmann, K., De Smedt, H., Verleden, G. M., and Missiaen, L., Pflügers Arch. Eur. Y. Physiol., in press). The present 45Ca2+ efflux experiments indicate that these InsP3 receptors were 3 times less sensitive to InsP3 and 11 times less sensitive to ATP than those in A7r5 cells, where the type-1 InsP3 receptor is the main isoform. ATP did not increase the cooperativity of the InsP3-induced Ca2+ release in 16HBE14o- cells, in contrast to its effect in A7r5 cells. The sulfhydryl reagent thimerosal also did not stimulate InsP3-induced Ca2+ release in 16HBE14o- cells, again in contrast to its effect in A7r5 cells. Adenophostin A was more potent than InsP3 in stimulating the release in both cell types. The biphasic activation of the InsP3 receptor by cytosolic Ca2+ occurred in both cell types. We conclude that Ca2+ release mediated by the type-3 InsP3 receptor mainly differs from that mediated by the type-1 InsP3 receptor by its lack of stimulation by sulfhydryl oxidation and its lower ATP and InsP3 sensitivity. The predominant expression of the type-3 InsP3 receptor in the bronchial mucosa may be part of a mechanism coping with oxidative stress in that tissue.

Abstract
Human platelets express several sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA) isoenzymes: SERCA2b of 100 kDa apparent molecular mass and two distinct enzymes of 97 kDa, one of them identified as being the SERCA3a isoform. The molecular identity of the third enzyme specifically recognized by the PL/IM430 monoclonal antibody has remained elusive. First, the study of the 3'-end part of platelet SERCA3 mRNA, by means of RT-PCR amplification using sets of primers covering the N-3 to N (ultimate) exons of the human SERCA3 sequence, revealed the presence of two distinct mRNA sequences, SERCA3a and a longer variant. Second, this additional sequence was identified as SERCA3b and found to refer to the insertion of a new exon of 73 bp, located at bp 349 from the beginning of the intronic sequence, linking the penultimate (N-1) exon to the last exon (N) of the human SERCA3 gene. Third, a relationship between the expression of this SERCA3b mRNA and the PL/ IM430 recognizable SERCA protein was observed. SERCA3b mRNA was found to be absent in epithelial HeLa cells not recognized by the PL/IM430 antibody and the expression of this SERCA3b RNA species correlated with that of the SERCA protein recognized by PL/IM430 which was down-modulated in the platelet precursor megakaryocytic CHRF 288-11 cell line as well as upon in vitro lymphocyte activation. Taken together, these results strongly support the notion of the presence of the SERCA3b protein in human cells by showing SERCA3b mRNA in platelets and the fact that the protein corresponding to this mRNA species is very likely the 97 kDa protein recognized by the PL/IM430 antibody.
