Abstract
The Golgi apparatus is a membrane-bound organelle that functions as a central role in the secretory pathway. Since the discovery of the Golgi apparatus, its structure and function have attracted ever-increasing attention from researchers. Recently, it has been demonstrated that metal ions are necessary for the Golgi apparatus to maintain its proper structure and functions. Given that metal ions play an important role in various biological processes, their abnormal homeostasis is related to many diseases. Therefore, in this paper, we reviewed the uptake and release mechanisms of the Golgi apparatus Ca2+ , Cu, and Zn2+ . Furthermore, we describe the diseases associated with Golgi apparatus Ca2+ , Cu, and Zn2+ imbalance.

Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23062915.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperone Grp94/gp96 appears to be involved in cytoprotection without being required for cell survival. This study compared the effects of Grp94 protein levels on Ca2+ homeostasis, antioxidant cytoprotection and protein–protein interactions between two widely studied cell lines, the myogenic C2C12 and the epithelial HeLa, and two breast cancer cell lines, MDA-MB-231 and HS578T. In myogenic cells, but not in HeLa, Grp94 overexpression exerted cytoprotection by reducing ER Ca2+ storage, due to an inhibitory effect on SERCA2. In C2C12 cells, but not in HeLa, Grp94 co-immunoprecipitated with non-client proteins, such as nNOS, SERCA2 and PMCA, which co-fractionated by sucrose gradient centrifugation in a distinct, medium density, ER vesicular compartment. Active nNOS was also required for Grp94-induced cytoprotection, since its inhibition by L-NNA disrupted the co-immunoprecipitation and co-fractionation of Grp94 with nNOS and SERCA2, and increased apoptosis. Comparably, only the breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231, which showed Grp94 co-immunoprecipitation with nNOS, SERCA2 and PMCA, increased oxidant-induced apoptosis after nNOS inhibition or Grp94 silencing. These results identify the Grp94-driven multiprotein complex, including active nNOS as mechanistically involved in antioxidant cytoprotection by means of nNOS activity and improved Ca2+ homeostasis.

A non-canonical role for pyruvate kinase M2 as a functional modulator of Ca 2+ signalling through IP 3 receptors. BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA. MOLECULAR CELL RESEARCH 2022; 1869:119206. [PMID: 35026348 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbamcr.2021.119206] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2021] [Revised: 12/20/2021] [Accepted: 12/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Pyruvate kinase isoform M2 (PKM2) is a rate-limiting glycolytic enzyme that is widely expressed in embryonic tissues. The expression of PKM2 declines in some tissues following embryogenesis, while other pyruvate kinase isozymes are upregulated. However, PKM2 is highly expressed in cancer cells and is believed to play a role in supporting anabolic processes during tumour formation. In this study, PKM2 was identified as an inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R)-interacting protein by mass spectrometry. The PKM2:IP3R interaction was further characterized by pull-down and co-immunoprecipitation assays, which showed that PKM2 interacted with all three IP3R isoforms. Moreover, fluorescence microscopy indicated that both IP3R and PKM2 localized at the endoplasmic reticulum. PKM2 binds to IP3R at a highly conserved 21-amino acid site (corresponding to amino acids 2078-2098 in mouse type 1 IP3R isoform). Synthetic peptides (denoted 'TAT-D5SD' and 'D5SD'), based on the amino acid sequence at this site, disrupted the PKM2:IP3R interaction and potentiated IP3R-mediated Ca2+ release both in intact cells (TAT-D5SD peptide) and in a unidirectional 45Ca2+ flux assay on permeabilized cells (D5SD peptide). The TAT-D5SD peptide did not affect the enzymatic activity of PKM2. Reducing PKM2 protein expression using siRNA increased IP3R-mediated Ca2+ signalling in intact cells without altering the ER Ca2+ content. These data identify PKM2 as an IP3R-interacting protein that inhibits intracellular Ca2+ signalling. The elevated expression of PKM2 in cancer cells is therefore not solely connected to its canonical role in glycolytic metabolism, rather PKM2 also has a novel non-canonical role in regulating intracellular signalling.

Abstract
Complete tumor eradication is the ultimate goal of cancer therapy. However, the majority of anticancer drugs cause nonimmunogenic cell death and only exert on-site anticancer activities. The intrinsic genomic instability of cancer allows for the persistence and later expansion of treatment-resistant clones after surviving a sort of Darwinian selection of chemotherapy. Additional incorporation of immunotherapy, which is robust and individualized could be game-changing. Herein, we report a combination strategy that delivers nonimmunogenic cell death inducer Cisplatin to treat primary tumors and converts the tumor cells into vaccines that spurs a long-lasting immune response against residual tumors to prevent tumor recurrence and metastasis. Cisplatin(IV) prodrug was linked to the N-(2-hydroxypropyl) methacrylamide (HPMA) copolymer (P-Cis) and coadministered with digoxin (Dig), which eventually launched two attacks to cancer cells. First, P-Cis exhibited superior tumor retention and cytotoxicity over free Cisplatin (to inhibit the primary tumor growth). Then, Dig reversed the inability of Cisplatin to trigger calreticulin exposure, and HPMA copolymer-amplified Cisplatin-induced ATP release. These complementary mechanisms induced potent immunogenic cell death that promotes dendritic cell maturation and activates CD8+ T cell responses. In established tumor models, P-Cis + Dig combination completely eradicate tumors with no residual cancer cells remaining. Cancer cells succumbing to P-Cis + Dig could protect syngeneic mice against the subsequent challenge with living cells of the same type and stimulated robust abscopal and antimetastatic effects. Such a strategy might be promising to restore the immunogenicity of nonimmunogenic drugs and generate vaccine-like functions for improved immunochemotherapy.

Abstract
Despite the discovery of annexins 40 years ago, we are just beginning to understand some of the functions of these still enigmatic proteins. Defined and characterized by their ability to bind anionic membrane lipids in a Ca2+-dependent manner, each annexin has to be considered a multifunctional protein, with a multitude of cellular locations and diverse activities. Underlying causes for this considerable functional diversity include their capability to associate with multiple cytosolic and membrane proteins. In recent years, the increasingly recognized establishment of membrane contact sites between subcellular compartments opens a new scenario for annexins as instrumental players to link Ca2+ signalling with the integration of membrane trafficking in many facets of cell physiology. In this chapter, we review and discuss current knowledge on the contribution of annexins in the biogenesis and functioning of the late endocytic compartment, affecting endo- and exocytic pathways in a variety of physiological consequences ranging from membrane repair, lysosomal exocytosis, to cell migration.

Abstract
In order to develop a novel method of visualizing possible Ca(2+) signaling during the early differentiation of hESCs into cardiomyocytes and avoid some of the inherent problems associated with using fluorescent reporters, we expressed the bioluminescent Ca(2+) reporter, apo-aequorin, in HES2 cells and then reconstituted active holo-aequorin by incubation with f-coelenterazine. The temporal nature of the Ca(2+) signals generated by the holo-f-aequorin-expressing HES2 cells during the earliest stages of differentiation into cardiomyocytes was then investigated. Our data show that no endogenous Ca(2+) transients (generated by release from intracellular stores) were detected in 1-12-day-old cardiospheres but transients were generated in cardiospheres following stimulation with KCl or CaCl2, indicating that holo-f-aequorin was functional in these cells. Furthermore, following the addition of exogenous ATP, an inositol trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) agonist, small Ca(2+) transients were generated from day 1 onward. That ATP was inducing Ca(2+) release from functional IP3Rs was demonstrated by treatment with 2-APB, a known IP3R antagonist. In contrast, following treatment with caffeine, a ryanodine receptor (RyR) agonist, a minimal Ca(2+) response was observed at day 8 of differentiation only. Thus, our data indicate that unlike RyRs, IP3Rs are present and continually functional at these early stages of cardiomyocyte differentiation.

Abstract
Crevenna et al. examine the mechanism by which secretory cargoes are segregated at the trans-Golgi network (TGN) for release into the extracellular space. The authors demonstrate that Ca2+-dependent changes in Cab45 oligomerization mediate sorting of specific cargo molecules at the TGN. Sorting and export of transmembrane cargoes and lysosomal hydrolases at the trans-Golgi network (TGN) are well understood. However, elucidation of the mechanism by which secretory cargoes are segregated for their release into the extracellular space remains a challenge. We have previously demonstrated that, in a reaction that requires Ca2+, the soluble TGN-resident protein Cab45 is necessary for the sorting of secretory cargoes at the TGN. Here, we report that Cab45 reversibly assembles into oligomers in the presence of Ca2+. These Cab45 oligomers specifically bind secretory proteins, such as COMP and LyzC, in a Ca2+-dependent manner in vitro. In intact cells, mutation of the Ca2+-binding sites in Cab45 impairs oligomerization, as well as COMP and LyzC sorting. Superresolution microscopy revealed that Cab45 colocalizes with secretory proteins and the TGN Ca2+ pump (SPCA1) in specific TGN microdomains. These findings reveal that Ca2+-dependent changes in Cab45 mediate sorting of specific cargo molecules at the TGN.

Abstract
The Golgi apparatus (GA), an intermediate organelle of the cell inner membrane system, plays a key role in protein glycosylation and secretion. In recent years, this organelle has been found to act as a vital intracellular Ca(2+) store because different Ca (2+) regulators, such as the inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate receptor, sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) -ATPase and secretory pathway Ca 2+ -ATPase, were demonstrated to localize on their membrane. The mechanisms involved in Ca(2+) release and uptake in the GA have now been established.Here, based on careful backward looking on compartments and patterns in GA Ca (2+) regulation, we review neurological diseases related to GA calcium remodeling and propose a modified cytosolic Ca(2+) adjustment model, in which GA acts as part of the panel point.

Abstract
Ca(2+) release from the Golgi apparatus regulates key functions of the organelle, including vesicle trafficking. We found that the Golgi apparatus was the source of prolonged Ca(2+) release events that originated near the nuclei of primary cardiomyocytes. Golgi Ca(2+) release was unaffected by depletion of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+), and disruption of the Golgi apparatus abolished Golgi Ca(2+) release without affecting sarcoplasmic reticulum function, suggesting functional and spatial independence of Golgi and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) stores. β1-Adrenoceptor stimulation triggers the production of the second messenger cAMP, which activates the Epac family of Rap guanine nucleotide exchange factors and the kinase PKA (protein kinase A). Phosphodiesterases (PDEs), including those in the PDE3 and PDE4 families, degrade cAMP. Activation of β1-adrenoceptors stimulated Golgi Ca(2+) release, an effect that required activation of Epac, PKA, and the kinase CaMKII. Inhibition of PDE3s or PDE4s potentiated β1-adrenergic-induced Golgi Ca(2+) release, which is consistent with compartmentalization of cAMP signaling near the Golgi apparatus. Interventions that stimulated Golgi Ca(2+) release appeared to increase the trafficking of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-1 (VEGFR-1) from the Golgi apparatus to the surface membrane of cardiomyocytes. In cardiomyocytes from rats with heart failure, decreases in the abundance of PDE3s and PDE4s were associated with increased Golgi Ca(2+) release events. These data suggest that the Golgi apparatus is a focal point for β1-adrenergic-stimulated Ca(2+) signaling and that the Golgi Ca(2+) store functions independently from the sarcoplasmic reticulum and the global Ca(2+) transients that trigger contraction in cardiomyocytes.

Abstract
High Ca2+ content in the Golgi apparatus (Go) is essential for protein processing and sorting. In addition, the Go can shape the cytosolic Ca2+ signals by releasing or sequestering Ca2+. We generated two new aequorin-based Ca2+ probes to specifically measure Ca2+ in the cis/cis-to-medial-Go (cGo) or the trans-Go (tGo). Ca2+ homoeostasis in these compartments and in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) has been studied and compared. Moreover, the relative size of each subcompartment was estimated from aequorin consumption. We found that the cGo accumulates Ca2+ to high concentrations (150-300 μM) through the sarco plasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA). The tGo, in turn, is divided into two subcompartments: tGo1 and tGo2. The subcompartment tGo1 contains 20% of the aequorin and has a high internal [Ca2+]; Ca2+ is accumulated in this subcompartment via the secretory pathway Ca2+-ATPase 1 (SPCA-1) at a very high affinity (K50=30 nM). The subcompartment tGo2 contains 80% of aequorin, has a lower [Ca2+] and no SPCA-1 activity; Ca2+ uptake happens through SERCA and is slower than in tGo1. The two tGo subcompartments, tGo1 and tGo2, are diffusionally isolated. Inositol trisphosphate mobilizes Ca2+ from the cGo and tGo2, but not from tGo1, whereas caffeine releases Ca2+ from all the Golgi regions, and nicotinic acid dinucleotide phosphate and cADP ribose from none.

Abstract
The Golgi apparatus (GA) is a dynamic intracellular Ca(2+) store endowed with complex Ca(2+) homeostatic mechanisms in part distinct from those of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). We describe the generation of a novel fluorescent Ca(2+) probe selectively targeted to the medial-Golgi. We demonstrate that in the medial-Golgi: (i) Ca(2+) accumulation takes advantage of two distinct pumps, the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) ATPase and the secretory pathway Ca(2+) ATPase1; (ii) activation of IP3 or ryanodine receptors causes Ca(2+) release, while no functional two-pore channel was found; (iii) luminal Ca(2+) concentration appears higher than that of the trans-Golgi, but lower than that of the ER, suggesting the existence of a cis- to trans-Golgi Ca(2+) concentration gradient. Thus, the GA represents a Ca(2+) store of high complexity where, despite the continuous flow of membranes and luminal contents, each sub-compartment maintains its Ca(2+) identity with specific Ca(2+) homeostatic characteristics. The functional role of such micro-heterogeneity in GA Ca(2+) handling is discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channels, a subfamily of store-operated channels, play an essential role in various diseases such as immune disorders and allergic responses. OBJECTIVE The successful treatment of these diseases requires the identification of specific inhibitors. So far, a variety of chemical compounds blocking CRAC have been identified; however, they have all turned out to be less specific. Recently two proteins, STIM1 and ORAI1, have been identified as the essential components that fully reconstitute CRAC currents with a similar biophysical fingerprint. METHOD These two proteins and their activation process represent direct targets for the application of specific CRAC inhibitors. RESULTS/CONCLUSION For drug development, fluorescence microscopy adaptable for high-throughput screening will provide a powerful assay to mechanistically identify potential CRAC inhibitors that act on various stages within the STIM1/ORAI1 activation pathway visualized by fluorescent-tagged proteins.

Abstract
As the molecular composition of calcium-release activated calcium (CRAC) channels has been unknown for two decades, elucidation of selective inhibitors has been considerably hampered. By the identification of the two key components of CRAC channels, STIM1 and Orai1 have emerged as promising targets for CRAC blockers. The aim of this study was to thoroughly characterize the effects of two selective CRAC channel blockers on currents derived from STIM1/Orai heterologoulsy expressed in HEK293 cells. The novel compounds GSK-7975A and GSK-5503A were tested for effects on STIM1 mediated Orai1 or Orai3 currents by whole-cell patch-clamp recordings and for the effects on STIM1 oligomerisation or STIM1/Orai coupling by FRET microscopy. To investigate their site of action, inhibitory effects of these molecules were explored using Orai pore mutants. The GSK blockers inhibited Orai1 and Orai3 currents with an IC50 of approximately 4 μM and exhibited a substantially slower rate of onset than the typical pore blocker La3+, together with almost no current recovery upon wash-out over 4 min. For the less Ca2+-selective Orai1 E106D pore mutant, ICRAC inhibition was significantly reduced. FRET experiments indicated that neither STIM1–STIM1 oligomerization nor STIM1–Orai1 coupling was affected by these compounds. These CRAC channel blockers are acting downstream of STIM1 oligomerization and STIM1/Orai1 interaction, potentially via an allosteric effect on the selectivity filter of Orai. The elucidation of these CRAC current blockers represents a significant step toward the identification of CRAC channel-selective drug compounds.

Abstract
The role of intracellular Ca2+ signaling in starvation-induced autophagy remains unclear. Here, we examined Ca2+ dynamics during starvation-induced autophagy and the underlying molecular mechanisms. Tightly correlating with autophagy stimulation, we observed a remodeling of the Ca2+ signalosome. First, short periods of starvation (1 to 3 h) caused a prominent increase of the ER Ca2+-store content and enhanced agonist-induced Ca2+ release. The mechanism involved the upregulation of intralumenal ER Ca2+-binding proteins, calreticulin and Grp78/BiP, which increased the ER Ca2+-buffering capacity and reduced the ER Ca2+ leak. Second, starvation led to Ins(1,4,5)P3R sensitization. Immunoprecipitation experiments showed that during starvation Beclin 1, released from Bcl-2, first bound with increasing efficiency to Ins(1,4,5)P3Rs; after reaching a maximal binding after 3 h, binding, however, decreased again. The interaction site of Beclin 1 was determined to be present in the N-terminal Ins(1,4,5)P3-binding domain of the Ins(1,4,5)P3R. The starvation-induced Ins(1,4,5)P3R sensitization was abolished in cells treated with BECN1 siRNA, but not with ATG5 siRNA, pointing toward an essential role of Beclin 1 in this process. Moreover, recombinant Beclin 1 sensitized Ins(1,4,5)P3Rs in 45Ca2+-flux assays, indicating a direct regulation of Ins(1,4,5)P3R activity by Beclin 1. Finally, we found that Ins(1,4,5)P3R-mediated Ca2+ signaling was critical for starvation-induced autophagy stimulation, since the Ca2+ chelator BAPTA-AM as well as the Ins(1,4,5)P3R inhibitor xestospongin B abolished the increase in LC3 lipidation and GFP-LC3-puncta formation. Hence, our results indicate a tight and essential interrelation between intracellular Ca2+ signaling and autophagy stimulation as a proximal event in response to starvation.

Abstract
The stromal interaction molecules STIM1 and STIM2 are Ca2+ sensors, mostly located in the endoplasmic reticulum, that detect changes in the intraluminal Ca2+ concentration and communicate this information to plasma membrane store-operated channels, including members of the Orai family, thus mediating store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE). Orai and STIM proteins are almost ubiquitously expressed in human cells, where SOCE has been reported to play a relevant functional role. The phenotype of patients bearing mutations in STIM and Orai proteins, together with models of STIM or Orai deficiency in mice, as well as other organisms such as Drosophila melanogaster, have provided compelling evidence on the relevant role of these proteins in cellular physiology and pathology. Orai1-deficient patients suffer from severe immunodeficiency, congenital myopathy, chronic pulmonary disease, anhydrotic ectodermal dysplasia and defective dental enamel calcification. STIM1-deficient patients showed similar abnormalities, as well as autoimmune disorders. This review summarizes the current evidence that identifies and explains diseases induced by disturbances in SOCE due to deficiencies or mutations in Orai and STIM proteins.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress protein mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) has been reported to protect cells from stress-induced cell death before and after its secretion; however, the conditions under which it is secreted are not known. Accordingly, we examined the mechanism of MANF release from cultured ventricular myocytes and HeLa cells, both of which secrete proteins via the constitutive pathway. Although the secretion of proteins via the constitutive pathway is not known to increase upon changes in intracellular calcium, MANF secretion was increased within 30 min of treating cells with compounds that deplete sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR)/ER calcium. In contrast, secretion of atrial natriuretic factor from ventricular myocytes was not increased by SR/ER calcium depletion, suggesting that not all secreted proteins exhibit the same characteristics as MANF. We postulated that SR/ER calcium depletion triggered MANF secretion by decreasing its retention. Consistent with this were co-immunoprecipitation and live cell, zero distance, photo affinity cross-linking, demonstrating that, in part, MANF was retained in the SR/ER via its calcium-dependent interaction with the SR/ER-resident protein, GRP78 (glucose-regulated protein 78 kDa). This unusual mechanism of regulating secretion from the constitutive secretory pathway provides a potentially missing link in the mechanism by which extracellular MANF protects cells from stresses that deplete SR/ER calcium. Consistent with this was our finding that administration of recombinant MANF to mice decreased tissue damage in an in vivo model of myocardial infarction, a condition during which ER calcium is known to be dysregulated, and MANF expression is induced.

Abstract
An increase in the concentration of cytosolic free Ca(2+) is a key component regulating different cellular processes ranging from egg fertilization, active secretion and movement, to cell differentiation and death. The multitude of phenomena modulated by Ca(2+), however, do not simply rely on increases/decreases in its concentration, but also on specific timing, shape and sub-cellular localization of its signals that, combined together, provide a huge versatility in Ca(2+) signaling. Intracellular organelles and their Ca(2+) handling machineries exert key roles in this complex and precise mechanism, and this review will try to depict a map of Ca(2+) routes inside cells, highlighting the uniqueness of the different Ca(2+) toolkit components and the complexity of the interactions between them.

Abstract
Ca(2+) ion channels play key roles in cell physiology and they are important drug targets. The Ca(2+) channel events are mainly measurable by fluorescent and patch clamp methods. This review summarizes the recent advances of these techniques for the detection of Ca(2+) channel events and the prospect of their new directions in the near future. Conventional bulk fluorescent methods are amenable to high-throughput applications, but they are not real-time single-cell measurements, which provide kinetic data on individual cells and offer unparalleled sensitive data for rare cells. Recent advances on real-time single-cell fluorescent measurements are conducted on microfluidic chips with scalable cell-retention sites, integrated with electrical stimulation and fluorescent measuring features. Patch clamp techniques are real-time measurements conducted on single cells, but the measurements are of low throughput. Recent advances are conducted on microfluidic patch clamp chips for high-throughput applications. Future real-time single-cell Ca(2+) channel event measurements will be conducted in a multiparametric manner in an integrated and automated microfluidic chip.

Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by selective death of motor neurons. Mutations in Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase-1 (SOD1) cause familial ALS but the molecular mechanisms whereby these mutations induce motor neuron death remain controversial. Here, we show that stable overexpression of mutant human SOD1 (G37R) - but not wild-type SOD1 (wt-SOD1) - in mouse neuroblastoma cells (N2a) results in morphological abnormalities of mitochondria accompanied by several dysfunctions. Activity of the oxidative phosphorylation complex I was significantly reduced in G37R cells and correlated with lower mitochondrial membrane potential and reduced levels of cytosolic ATP. Using targeted chimeric aequorin we further analyzed the consequences of mitochondrial dysfunction on cellular Ca(2+) handling. Mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake, elicited by IP(3)-induced Ca(2+) release from endoplasmic reticulum (ER) was significantly reduced in G37R cells, while uptake induced by a brief Ca(2+) pulse was not affected in permeabilized cells. The decreased mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake resulted in increased cytosolic Ca(2+) transients, whereas ER Ca(2+) load and resting cytosolic Ca(2+) levels were not affected. Together, these findings suggest that the mechanism linking mutant G37R SOD1 and ALS involves mitochondrial respiratory chain deficiency resulting in ATP loss and impairment of mitochondrial and cytosolic Ca(2+) homeostasis.

Abstract
Taking advantage of a fluorescent Ca(2+) indicator selectively targeted to the trans-Golgi lumen, we here demonstrate that its Ca(2+) homeostatic mechanisms are distinct from those of the other Golgi subcompartments: (i) Ca(2+) uptake depends exclusively on the activity of the secretory pathway Ca(2+) ATPase1 (SPCA1), whereas the sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) ATPase (SERCA) is excluded; (ii) IP(3) generated by receptor stimulation causes Ca(2+) uptake rather than release; (iii) Ca(2+) release can be triggered by activation of ryanodine receptors in cells endowed with robust expression of the latter channels (e.g., in neonatal cardiac myocyte). Finally, we show that, knocking down the SPCA1, and thus altering the trans-Golgi Ca(2+) content, specific functions associated with this subcompartment, such as sorting of proteins to the plasma membrane through the secretory pathway, and the structure of the entire Golgi apparatus are dramatically altered.

Abstract
In this chapter, we describe the practical aspects of measuring [Ca(2+)] transients that are generated in a particular cytoplasmic domain, or within a specific organelle or its periorganellar environment, using bioluminescent, genetically encoded and targeted Ca(2+) reporters, especially those based on apoaequorin. We also list examples of the organisms, tissues, and cells that have been transfected with apoaequorin or an apoaequorin-BRET complex, as well as of the organelles and subcellular domains that have been specifically targeted with these bioluminescent Ca(2+) reporters. In addition, we summarize the various techniques used to load the apoaequorin cofactor, coelenterazine, and its analogs into cells, tissues, and intact organisms, and we describe recent advances in the detection and imaging technologies that are currently being used to measure and visualize the luminescence generated by the aequorin-Ca(2+) reaction within these various cytoplasmic domains and subcellular compartments.

Abstract
Inositol trisphosphate and cyclic ADP-ribose, main intracellular Ca(2+) messengers, induce release from the intracellular Ca(2+) stores via inositol trisphosphate and ryanodine receptors, respectively. Recently, studies using novel messenger nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) releasing Ca(2+) from calcium stores in organelles other than endoplasmic reticulum (ER) have been conducted. However, technical difficulties of Ca(2+) measurements in relatively small Ca(2+) stores prompted us to develop a new, more sensitive, and less damaging two-photon permeabilization technique. Applied to pancreatic acinar cells, this technique allowed us to show that all three messengers - IP(3), cADPR, and NAADP - release Ca(2+) from two intracellular stores: the endoplasmic reticulum and an acidic store in the granular region. This chapter describes a detailed procedure of using this technique with pancreatic acinar cells.

Abstract
Recently, we identified, for the first time, two-pore channels (TPCs, TPCN for gene name) as a novel family of nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP)-gated, endolysosome-targeted calcium release channels. Significantly, three subtypes of TPCs have been characterized, TPC1-3, with each being targeted to discrete acidic calcium stores, namely lysosomes (TPC2) and endosomes (TPC1 and TPC3). That TPCs act as NAADP-gated calcium release channels is clear, given that NAADP binds to high- and low-affinity sites associated with TPC2 and thereby induces calcium release and homologous desensitization, as observed in the case of endogenous NAADP receptors. Moreover, NAADP-evoked calcium signals via TPC2 are ablated by short hairpin RNA knockdown of TPC2 and by depletion of acidic calcium stores with bafilomycin. Importantly, however, NAADP-evoked calcium signals were biphasic in nature, with an initial phase of calcium release from lysosomes via TPC2, being subsequently amplified by calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In marked contrast, calcium release via endosome-targeted TPC1 induced only spatially restricted calcium signals that were not amplified by CICR from the ER. These findings provide new insights into the mechanisms that cells may utilize to "filter" calcium signals via junctional complexes to determine whether a given signal remains local or is converted into a propagating global signal. Essentially, endosomes and lysosomes represent vesicular calcium stores, quite unlike the ER network, and TPCs do not themselves support CICR or, therefore, propagating regenerative calcium waves. Thus "quantal" vesicular calcium release via TPCs must subsequently recruit inositol 1,4,5-trisphoshpate receptors and/or ryanodine receptors on the ER by CICR to evoke a propagating calcium wave. This may call for a revision of current views on the mechanisms of intracellular calcium signaling. The purpose of this review is, therefore, to provide an appropriate framework for future studies in this area.

Abstract
Intracellular Ca2+ stores play a central role in the regulation of cellular [Ca2+](i) and the generation of complex [Ca2+] signals such as oscillations and waves. Ca2+ signalling is of particular significance in sperm cells, where it is a central regulator in many key activities (including capacitation, hyperactivation, chemotaxis and acrosome reaction) yet mature sperm lack endoplasmic reticulum and several other organelles that serve as Ca2+ stores in somatic cells. Here, we review i) the evidence for the expression in sperm of the molecular components (pumps and channels) which are functionally significant in the activity of Ca2+ stores of somatic cells and ii) the evidence for the existence of functional Ca2+ stores in sperm. This evidence supports the existence of at least two storage organelles in mammalian sperm, one in the acrosomal region and another in the region of the sperm neck and midpiece. We then go on to discuss the probable identity of these organelles and their discrete functions: regulation by the acrosome of its own secretion and regulation by membranous organelles at the sperm neck (and possibly by the mitochondria) of flagellar activity and hyperactivation. Finally, we consider the ability of the sperm discretely to control mobilisation of these stores and the functional interaction of stored Ca2+ at the sperm neck/midpiece with CatSper channels in the principal piece in regulation of the activities of mammalian sperm.

Abstract
Calnuc is a novel, highly modular, EF-hand containing, Ca(2+)-binding, Golgi resident protein whose functions are not clear. Using amino acid sequences, we demonstrate that Calnuc is a highly conserved protein among various organisms, from Ciona intestinalis to humans. Maximum homology among all sequences is found in the region that binds to G-proteins. In humans, it is known to be expressed in a variety of tissues, and it interacts with several important protein partners. Among other proteins, Calnuc is known to interact with heterotrimeric G-proteins, specifically with the alpha-subunit. Herein, we report the structural implications of Ca(2+) and Mg(2+) binding, and illustrate that Calnuc functions as a downstream effector for G-protein alpha-subunit. Our results show that Ca(2+) binds with an affinity of 7 mum and causes structural changes. Although Mg(2+) binds to Calnuc with very weak affinity, the structural changes that it causes are further enhanced by Ca(2+) binding. Furthermore, isothermal titration calorimetry results show that Calnuc and the G-protein bind with an affinity of 13 nm. We also predict a probable function for Calnuc, that of maintaining Ca(2+) homeostasis in the cell. Using Stains-all and terbium as Ca(2+) mimic probes, we demonstrate that the Ca(2+)-binding ability of Calnuc is governed by the activity-based conformational state of the G-protein. We propose that Calnuc adopts structural sites similar to the ones seen in proteins such as annexins, c2 domains or chromogrannin A, and therefore binds more calcium ions upon binding to Gialpha. With the number of organelle-targeted G-protein-coupled receptors increasing, intracellular communication mediated by G-proteins could become a new paradigm. In this regard, we propose that Calnuc could be involved in the downstream signaling of G-proteins.

Abstract
Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) are an interesting subject of research because they have characteristics of mesenchymal stem cells. We investigated intracellular Ca(2+) signaling in rat BMSCs. Agonists for purinergic receptors increased intracellular Ca(2+) levels ([Ca(2+)](i)). The order of potency followed ATP = UTP > ADP = UDP. ATP-induced rise in [Ca(2+)](i) was suppressed by U73122 and suramin, but not by pyridoxalphosphate-6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulfonic acid (PPADS), suggesting the functional expression of G protein-coupled P2Y(2) receptors. RT-PCR and immunohistochemical studies also showed the expression of P2Y(2) receptors. [Ca(2+)](i) response to UTP changed with cell density. The UTP-induced rise in [Ca(2+)](i) was greatest at high density. V(max) (maximum Ca(2+) response) and EC(50) (agonist concentration that evokes 50% of V(max)) suggest that the amount and property of P2Y(2) receptors were changed by cell density. Note that UTP induced Ca(2+) oscillation at only medium cell density. Pharmacological studies indicated that UTP-induced Ca(2+) oscillation required Ca(2+) influx by store-operated Ca(2+) entry. Carbenoxolone, a gap junction blocker, enhanced Ca(2+) oscillation. Immunohistochemical and quantitative real-time PCR studies revealed that proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA)-positive cells declined but the mRNA expression level of the P2Y(2) receptor increased as cell density increased. Co-application of fetal calf serum with UTP induced Ca(2+) oscillation at high cell density. These results suggest that the different patterns observed for [Ca(2+)](i) mobilization with respect to cell density may be associated with cell cycle progression.

Abstract
The review will aim to briefly summarise information on calcium measurements in cellular organelles with emphases on studies conducted in live cells using optical probes. When appropriate we will try to compare the effectiveness of different indicators for intraorganellar calcium measurements. We will consider calcium measurements in endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, endosomes/lysosomes, nucleoplasm, nuclear envelope, mitochondria and secretory granules.

Abstract
Cytosolic Ca2+ signals are crucial for the control of fluid and enzyme secretion from exocrine glands. The highly polarized exocrine acinar cells have evolved sophisticated and complex Ca2+ signaling mechanisms that exercise precise control of the secretory events occurring across the apical plasma membrane bordering the gland lumen. Ca2+ stores in the endoplasmic reticulum, the secretory granules, the lysosomes, and the endosomes all play important roles in the generation of the local apical Ca2+ spikes that switch on Cl(-) channels in the apical plasma membrane as well as exocytotic export of enzymes. The mitochondria are crucial not only for ATP generation but also for the physiologically important subcellular compartmentalization of the cytosolic Ca2+ signals.

Abstract
Increases in cytosolic free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) represent a ubiquitous signalling mechanism that controls a variety of cellular processes, including proliferation, metabolism and gene transcription, yet under certain conditions increases in intracellular Ca2+ are cytotoxic. Thus, in using Ca2+ as a messenger, cells walk a tightrope in which [Ca2+]i is strictly maintained within defined boundaries. To adhere to these boundaries and to sustain their modified phenotype, many cancer cells remodel the expression or activity of their Ca2+ signalling apparatus. Here, we review the role of Ca2+ in promoting cell proliferation and cell death, how these processes are remodelled in cancer and the opportunities this might provide for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND INFORMATION The IP(3)R (inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor) is a tetrameric channel that accounts for a large part of the intracellular Ca(2+) release in virtually all cell types. We have previously demonstrated that caspase-3-mediated cleavage of IP(3)R1 during cell death generates a C-terminal fragment of 95 kDa comprising the complete channel domain. Expression of this truncated IP(3)R increases the cellular sensitivity to apoptotic stimuli, and it was postulated to be a constitutively active channel. RESULTS In the present study, we demonstrate that expression of the caspase-3-cleaved C-terminus of IP(3)R1 increased the rate of thapsigargin-mediated Ca(2+) leak and decreased the rate of Ca(2+) uptake into the ER (endoplasmic reticulum), although it was not sufficient by itself to deplete intracellular Ca(2+) stores. We detected the truncated IP(3)R1 in different cell types after a challenge with apoptotic stimuli, as well as in aged mouse oocytes. Injection of mRNA corresponding to the truncated IP(3)R1 blocked sperm factor-induced Ca(2+) oscillations and induced an apoptotic phenotype. CONCLUSIONS In the present study, we show that caspase-3-mediated truncation of IP(3)R1 enhanced the Ca(2+) leak from the ER. We suggest a model in which, in normal conditions, the increased Ca(2+) leak is largely compensated by enhanced Ca(2+)-uptake activity, whereas in situations where the cellular metabolism is compromised, as occurring in aging oocytes, the Ca(2+) leak acts as a feed-forward mechanism to divert the cell into apoptosis.

Abstract
Menthol, a secondary alcohol produced by the peppermint herb, Mentha piperita, is widely used in the food and pharmaceutical industries as a cooling/soothing compound and odorant. It induces Ca2+ influx in a subset of sensory neurons from dorsal root and trigeminal ganglia, due to activation of TRPM8, a Ca2+-permeable, cold-activated member of the TRP superfamily of cation channels. Menthol also induces Ca2+ release from intracellular stores in several TRPM8-expressing cell types, which has led to the suggestion that TRPM8 can function as an intracellular Ca2+-release channel. Here we show that menthol induces Ca2+ release from intracellular stores in four widely used cell lines (HEK293, lymph node carcinoma of the prostate (LNCaP), Chinese hamster ovary (CHO), and COS), and provide several lines of evidence indicating that this release pathway is TRPM8-independent: 1) menthol-induced Ca2+ release was potentiated at higher temperatures, which contrasts to the cold activation of TRPM8; 2) overexpression of TRPM8 did not enhance the menthol-induced Ca2+) release; 3) menthol-induced Ca2+ release was mimicked by geraniol and linalool, which are structurally related to menthol, but not by the more potent TRPM8 agonists icilin or eucalyptol; and 4) TRPM8 expression in HEK293 cells was undetectable at the protein and mRNA levels. Moreover, using a novel TRPM8-specific antibody we demonstrate that both heterologously expressed TRPM8 (in HEK293 cells) and endogenous TRPM8 (in LNCaP cells) are mainly localized in the plasma membrane, which contrast to previous localization studies using commercial anti-TRPM8 antibodies. Finally, aequorin-based measurements demonstrate that the TRPM8-independent menthol-induced Ca2+ release originates from both endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi compartments.

Abstract
Changes in intracellular free calcium regulate many intracellular processes. With respect to the secretory pathway and the Golgi apparatus, changes in calcium concentration occurring either in the adjacent cytosol or within the lumen of the Golgi act to regulate Golgi function. Conversely, the Golgi sequesters calcium to shape cytosolic calcium signals as well as initiate them by releasing calcium via inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate (IP(3)) receptors, located on Golgi membranes. Local calcium transients juxtaposed to the Golgi (arising from release by the Golgi or other organelles) can activate calcium dependent signalling molecules located on or around the Golgi. This review focuses on the reciprocal relationship between the cell biology of the Golgi apparatus and intracellular calcium homeostasis.

Abstract
Presenilin-1 and -2 (PS1 and PS2) mutations, the major cause of familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD), have been causally implicated in the pathogenesis of neuronal cell death through a perturbation of cellular Ca(2+) homeostasis. We have recently shown that, at variance with previous suggestions obtained in cells expressing other FAD-linked PS mutations, PS2-M239I and PS2-T122R cause a reduction and not an increase in cytosolic Ca(2+) rises induced by Ca(2+) release from stores. In this contribution we have used different cell models: human fibroblasts from controls and FAD patients, cell lines (SH-SY5Y, HeLa, HEK293, MEFs) and rat primary neurons expressing a number of PS mutations, e.g. P117L, M146L, L286V, and A246E in PS1 and M239I, T122R, and N141I in PS2. The effects of FAD-linked PS mutations on cytosolic Ca(2+) changes have been monitored either by using fura-2 or recombinant cytosolic aequorin as the probe. Independently of the cell model or the employed probe, the cytosolic Ca(2+) increases, caused by agonist stimulation or full store depletion by drug treatment, were reduced or unchanged in cells expressing the PS mutations. Using aequorins, targeted to the endoplasmic reticulum or the Golgi apparatus, we here show that FAD-linked PS mutants lower the Ca(2+) content of intracellular stores. The phenomenon was most prominent in cells expressing PS2 mutants, and was observed also in cells expressing the non-pathogenic, "loss-of-function" PS2-D366A mutation. Taken as a whole, our findings, while confirming the capability of presenilins to modify Ca(2+) homeostasis, suggest a re-evaluation of the "Ca(2+) overload" hypothesis in AD and a new working hypothesis is presented.

Abstract
Calcium ions are ubiquitous and versatile signaling molecules, capable of decoding a variety of extracellular stimuli (hormones, neurotransmitters, growth factors, etc.) into markedly different intracellular actions, ranging from contraction to secretion, from proliferation to cell death. The key to this pleiotropic role is the complex spatiotemporal organization of the [Ca(2+)] rise evoked by extracellular agonists, which allows selected effectors to be recruited and specific actions to be initiated. In this review, we discuss the structural and functional bases that generate the subcellular heterogeneity in cellular Ca(2+) levels at rest and under stimulation. This complex choreography requires the concerted action of many different players; the central role is, of course, that of the calcium ion, with the main supporting characters being all the entities responsible for moving Ca(2+) between different compartments, while the cellular architecture provides a determining framework within which all the players have their exits and their entrances. In particular, we concentrate on the molecular mechanisms that lead to the generation of cytoplasmic Ca(2+) microdomains, focusing on their different subcellular location, mechanism of generation, and functional role.

Abstract
Inositol trisphosphate and cyclic ADP-ribose release Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum via inositol trisphosphate and ryanodine receptors, respectively. By contrast, nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate may activate a novel Ca2+ channel in an acid compartment. We show, in two-photon permeabilized pancreatic acinar cells, that the three messengers tested could each release Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum and also from an acid store in the granular region. The nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate action on both types of store, like that of cyclic ADP-ribose but unlike inositol trisphosphate, depended on operational ryanodine receptors, since it was blocked by ryanodine or ruthenium red. The acid Ca2+ store in the granular region did not have Golgi or lysosomal characteristics and might therefore be associated with the secretory granules. The endoplasmic reticulum is predominantly basal, but thin extensions penetrate into the granular area and cytosolic Ca2+ signals probably initiate at sites where endoplasmic reticulum elements and granules come close together.

Abstract
Although many cell functions are regulated by Ca(2+) oscillations induced by a cyclic release of Ca(2+) from intracellular Ca(2+) stores, the pacemaker mechanism of Ca(2+) oscillations remains to be explained. Using green fluorescent protein-based Ca(2+) indicators that are targeted to intracellular Ca(2+) stores, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria, we found that Ca(2+) shuttles between the ER and mitochondria in phase with Ca(2+) oscillations. Following agonist stimulation, Ca(2+) release from the ER generated the first Ca(2+) oscillation and loaded mitochondria with Ca(2+). Before the second Ca(2+) oscillation, Ca(2+) release from the mitochondria by means of the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger caused a gradual increase in cytoplasmic Ca(2+) concentration, inducing a regenerative ER Ca(2+) release, which generated the peak of Ca(2+) oscillation and partially reloaded the mitochondria. This sequence of events was repeated until mitochondrial Ca(2+) was depleted. Thus, Ca(2+) shuttling between the ER and mitochondria may have a pacemaker role in the generation of Ca(2+) oscillations.

Abstract
The Golgi apparatus is, like the endoplasmic reticulum, an inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate-sensitive Ca2+ store, but its role in setting up Ca2+ signals is not well understood. We have now measured histamine-induced Ca2+ signals in HeLa cells pretreated with brefeldin A, a fungal metabolite that leads to the fragmentation and subsequent disappearance of the Golgi apparatus by its reabsorption within the endoplasmic reticulum. Ca2+ responses in which the free cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration returned to resting levels during the histamine stimulation (mainly baseline Ca2+ oscillations or a single Ca2+ peak) occurred more often in brefeldin A pretreated cells, resulting in a lower Ca2+ plateau in population measurements. The latencies before the onset of the Ca2+ signals were longer after brefeldin A pretreatment. These results suggest that the integrity of the Golgi apparatus contributes to the shaping of intracellular Ca2+ signals.

Abstract
Both clinical and in vitro evidence points to the involvement of the melanocortin peptide, ACTH, in the terminal differentiation of chondrocytes. Terminal differentiation along the endochondral pathway is responsible for linear growth, but also plays a role in osteoarthritic cartilage degeneration. Chondrocyte terminal differentiation is associated with an incremental increase in chondrocyte basal intracellular free calcium ([Ca(2+)](i)), and ACTH agonism of melanocortin receptors is known to mobilize [Ca(2+)](i.) Using differentiated resting chondrocytes highly expressing type II collagen and aggrecan, we examined the influence of both ACTH and dexamethasone treatment on matrix gene transcription and [Ca(2+)](i). Resting chondrocytes treated concurrently with dexamethasone and ACTH expressed matrix gene transcripts in a pattern consistent with that of rapid terminal differentiation. Using the fluorescent Ca(2+) indicator, fura-2, we determined that ACTH evokes transient increases in [Ca(2+)](i) and elevates basal Ca(2+) levels in resting chondrocytes. The transient increases were initiated intracellularly, were abrogated by the phospholipase C-specific inhibitor, U73122, and were partly attenuated by myo-inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate receptor inhibition via 10 mm caffeine. The initial intracellular release also resulted in store-operated calcium entry, presumably through store-operated channels. Dexamethasone priming increased both the initial ACTH-evoked [Ca(2+)](i) release and the subsequent store-operated calcium entry. These data demonstrate roles for ACTH and glucocorticoid in the regulation of chondrocyte terminal differentiation. Because the actions of ACTH are mediated through known G protein-coupled receptors, the melanocortin receptors, these data may provide a new therapeutic target in the treatment of growth deficiencies and cartilage degeneration.

Abstract
Recent evidence highlights the functional importance of the Golgi apparatus as an agonist-sensitive intracellular Ca(2+) store. Besides Ca(2+)-release channels and Ca(2+)-binding proteins, the Golgi complex contains Ca(2+)-uptake mechanisms consisting of the well-known sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-transport ATPases (SERCA) and the much less characterized secretory-pathway Ca(2+)-transport ATPases (SPCA). SPCA supplies the Golgi compartments and, possibly, the more distal compartments of the secretory pathway with both Ca(2+) and Mn(2+) and, therefore, plays an important role in the cytosolic and intra-Golgi Ca(2+) and Mn(2+) homeostasis. Mutations in the human gene encoding the SPCA1 pump (ATP2C1) resulting in Hailey-Hailey disease, an autosomal dominant skin disorder, are discussed.
