The Role of CD38 in the Pathogenesis of Cardiorenal Metabolic Disease and Aging, an Approach from Basic Research. Cells 2023; 12:cells12040595. [PMID: 36831262 PMCID: PMC9954496 DOI: 10.3390/cells12040595] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2023] [Revised: 02/06/2023] [Accepted: 02/08/2023] [Indexed: 02/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Aging is a major risk factor for the leading causes of mortality, and the incidence of age-related diseases including cardiovascular disease, kidney disease and metabolic disease increases with age. NAD+ is a classic coenzyme that exists in all species, and that plays a crucial role in oxidation-reduction reactions. It is also involved in the regulation of many cellular functions including inflammation, oxidative stress and differentiation. NAD+ declines with aging in various organs, and the reduction in NAD+ is possibly involved in the development of age-related cellular dysfunction in cardiorenal metabolic organs through the accumulation of inflammation and oxidative stress. Levels of NAD+ are regulated by the balance between its synthesis and degradation. CD38 is the main NAD+-degrading enzyme, and CD38 is activated in response to inflammation with aging, which is associated with the reduction in NAD+ levels. In this review, focusing on CD38, we discuss the role of CD38 in aging and the pathogenesis of age-related diseases, including cardiorenal metabolic disease.

Abstract
Given that plenty of clinical findings and reviews have already explained in detail on the progression of CD38 in multiple myeloma and haematological system tumours, here we no longer give unnecessary discussion on the above progression. Though therapeutic antibodies have been regarded as a greatest breakthrough in multiple myeloma immunotherapies due to the durable anti-tumour responses in the clinic, but the role of CD38 in the immunologic regulation and evasion of non-hematopoietic solid tumours are just initiated and controversial. Therefore, we will focus on the bio-function of CD38 enzymatic substrates or metabolites in the variety of non-hematopoietic malignancies and the potential therapeutic value of targeting the CD38-NAD+ or CD38-cADPR/ADPR signal axis. Though limited, we review some ongoing researches and clinical trials on therapeutic approaches in solid tumour as well.

Cysteine Donor-Based Brain-Targeting Prodrug: Opportunities and Challenges. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:4834117.

Abstract
Overcoming blood-brain barrier (BBB) to improve brain bioavailability of therapeutic drug remains an ongoing concern. Prodrug is one of the most reliable approaches for delivering agents with low-level BBB permeability into the brain. The well-known antioxidant capacities of cysteine (Cys) and its vital role in glutathione (GSH) synthesis indicate that Cys-based prodrug could potentiate therapeutic drugs against oxidative stress-related neurodegenerative disorders. Moreover, prodrug with Cys moiety could be recognized by the excitatory amino acid transporter 3 (EAAT3) that is highly expressed at the BBB and transports drug into the brain. In this review, we summarized the strategies of crossing BBB, properties of EAAT3 and its natural substrates, Cys and its donors, and Cys donor-based brain-targeting prodrugs by referring to recent investigations. Moreover, the challenges that we are faced with and future research orientations were also addressed and proposed. It is hoped that present review will provide evidence for the pursuit of novel Cys donor-based brain-targeting prodrug.

Abstract
Substantial research has demonstrated the association between cardiovascular disease and the dysregulation of intracellular calcium, ageing, reduction in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide NAD+ content, and decrease in sirtuin activity. CD38, which comprises the soluble type, type II, and type III, is the main NADase in mammals. This molecule catalyses the production of cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose (cADPR), nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP), and adenosine diphosphate ribose (ADPR), which stimulate the release of Ca2+, accompanied by NAD+ consumption and decreased sirtuin activity. Therefore, the relationship between cardiovascular disease and CD38 has been attracting increased attention. In this review, we summarize the structure, regulation, function, targeted drug development, and current research on CD38 in the cardiac context. More importantly, we provide original views about the as yet elusive mechanisms of CD38 action in certain cardiovascular disease models. Based on our review, we predict that CD38 may serve as a novel therapeutic target in cardiovascular disease in the future.

Abstract
Inhibition of and genetic deletion of the NAD(P)+ hydrolase [NAD(P)ase] CD38 have been shown to protect against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in rat and mouse hearts. CD38 has been shown to enhance salvage of NADP(H), which in turn prevents impairment of endothelial nitric oxide synthase function, a hallmark of endothelial dysfunction. Despite growing evidence for a role of CD38 in postischemic injury, until recently there had been a lack of potent CD38 inhibitors. Recently, a new class of thiazoloquin(az)olin(on)e compounds were identified as highly potent and specific CD38 inhibitors. Herein, we investigate the ability of one of these compounds, 78c, to inhibit CD38 and protect the heart in an ex vivo model of myocardial I/R injury. The potency and mechanism of CD38 inhibition by 78c was assessed in vitro using recombinant CD38. The dose-dependent tissue uptake of 78c in isolated mouse hearts was determined, and high tissue permeability of 78c was observed when delivered in perfusate. Treatment of hearts with 78c was protective against both postischemic endothelial and cardiac myocyte injury, with preserved nitric oxide synthase-dependent vasodilatory and contractile function, respectively. Myocardial infarction was also significantly decreased in 78c-treated hearts, with preserved levels of high-energy phosphates. Protective effects peaked at 10 μM treatment, and similar protection without toxicity was seen at 5-fold higher doses. Overall, 78c was shown to be a potent and biologically active CD38 inhibitor with favorable tissue uptake and marked protective effects against I/R injury with enhanced preservation of contractile function, coronary flow, and decreased infarction.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) derived from NADPH oxidase (Nox) has been shown to activate ADP-ribosyl cyclase (ARC), which produces the Ca2+ mobilizing second messenger, cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR). In the present study, we examined how ROS activates cluster of differentiation (CD)38, a mammalian prototype of ARC. CD38 exists in type II and III forms with opposing membrane orientation. This study showed the coexpression of type II and III CD38 in lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells. The catalytic site of the constitutively active type II CD38 faces the outside of the cell or the inside of early endosomes (EEs), whereas the basally inactive type III CD38 faces the cytosol. Type III CD38 interacted with Nox4/phosphorylated-p22phox (p-p22phox) in EEs of LAK cells upon IL-8 treatment. H2O2 derived from Nox4 activated type III CD38 by forming a disulfide bond between Cys164 and Cys177, resulting in increased cADPR formation. Our study identified the mechanism by which type III CD38 is activated in an immune cell (LAK), in which H2O2 generated by Nox4 oxidizes and activates type III CD38 to generate cADPR. These findings provide a novel model of cross-talk between ROS and Ca2+ signaling.-Park, D.-R., Nam, T.-S., Kim, Y.-W., Bae, Y. S., Kim, U.-H.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Numerous studies have demonstrated the actions of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as regulators of several physiological processes. In this study, we discuss how redox signaling mechanisms operate to control different processes such as neuronal differentiation, oligodendrocyte differentiation, dendritic growth, and axonal growth. Recent Advances: Redox homeostasis regulates the physiology of neural stem cells (NSCs). Notably, the neuronal differentiation process of NSCs is determined by a change toward oxidative metabolism, increased levels of mitochondrial ROS, increased activity of NADPH oxidase (NOX) enzymes, decreased levels of Nrf2, and differential regulation of different redoxins. Furthermore, during the neuronal maturation processes, NOX and MICAL produce ROS to regulate cytoskeletal dynamics, which control the dendritic and axonal growth, as well as the axonal guidance. CRITICAL ISSUES The redox homeostasis changes are, in part, attributed to cell metabolism and compartmentalized production of ROS, which is regulated, sensed, and transduced by different molecules such as thioredoxins, glutaredoxins, peroxiredoxins, and nucleoredoxin to control different signaling pathways in different subcellular regions. The study of how these elements cooperatively act is essential for the understanding of nervous system development, as well as the application of regenerative therapies that recapitulate these processes. FUTURE DIRECTIONS The information about these topics in the last two decades leads us to the conclusion that the role of ROS signaling in development of the nervous system is more important than it was previously believed and makes clear the importance of exploring in more detail the mechanisms of redox signaling.

Abstract
The NAD(P)+-hydrolyzing enzyme CD38 is activated in the heart during the process of ischemia and reperfusion, triggering NAD(P)(H) depletion. However, the presence and role of CD38 in the major cell types of the heart are unknown. Therefore, we characterize the presence and function of CD38 in cardiac myocytes, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts. To comprehensively evaluate CD38 in these cells, we measured gene transcription via mRNA, as well as protein expression and enzymatic activity. Endothelial cells strongly expressed CD38, while only low expression was present in cardiac myocytes with intermediate levels in fibroblasts. In view of this high level expression in endothelial cells and the proposed role of CD38 in the pathogenesis of endothelial dysfunction, endothelial cells were subjected to hypoxia-reoxygenation to characterize the effect of this stress on CD38 expression and activity. An activity-based CD38 imaging method and CD38 activity assays were used to characterize CD38 activity in normoxic and hypoxic-reoxygenated endothelial cells, with marked CD38 activation seen following hypoxia-reoxygenation. To test the impact of hypoxia-reoxygenation-induced CD38 activation on endothelial cells, NAD(P)(H) levels and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS)-derived NO production were measured. Marked NADP(H) depletion with loss of NO and increase in superoxide production occurred following hypoxia-reoxygenation that was prevented by CD38 inhibition or knockdown. Thus, endothelial cells have high expression of CD38 which is activated by hypoxia-reoxygenation triggering CD38-mediated NADP(H) depletion with loss of eNOS-mediated NO generation and increased eNOS uncoupling. This demonstrates the importance of CD38 in the endothelium and explains the basis by which CD38 triggers post-ischemic endothelial dysfunction.

Arginine Thiazolidine Carboxylate Stimulates Insulin Secretion through Production of Ca2+-Mobilizing Second Messengers NAADP and cADPR in Pancreatic Islets. PLoS One 2015; 10:e0134962.

Abstract
Oxothiazolidine carboxylic acid is a prodrug of cysteine that acts as an anti-diabetic agent via insulin secretion and the formation of the Ca2+-mobilizing second messenger, cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR). Here we show that a hybrid compound, arginine thiazolidine carboxylate (ATC), increases cytoplasmic Ca2+ in pancreatic β-cells, and that the ATC-induced Ca2+ signals result from the sequential formation of two Ca2+-mobilizing second messengers: nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) and cADPR. Our data demonstrate that ATC has potent insulin-releasing properties, due to the additive action of its two components; thiazolidine carboxylate (TC) and L-arginine. TC increases glutathione (GSH) levels, resulting in cAMP production, followed by a cascade pathway of NAADP/nitric oxide (NO)/cGMP/cADPR synthesis. L-arginine serves as the substrate for NO synthase (NOS), which results in cADPR synthesis via cGMP formation. Neuronal NOS is specifically activated in pancreatic β-cells upon ATC treatment. These results suggest that ATC is an ideal candidate as an anti-diabetic, capable of modulating the physiological Ca2+ signalling pathway to stimulate insulin secretion.

Contribution of NADPH oxidase to membrane CD38 internalization and activation in coronary arterial myocytes. PLoS One 2013; 8:e71212.

Abstract
The CD38-ADP-ribosylcyclase-mediated Ca2+ signaling pathway importantly contributes to the vasomotor response in different arteries. Although there is evidence indicating that the activation of CD38-ADP-ribosylcyclase is associated with CD38 internalization, the molecular mechanism mediating CD38 internalization and consequent activation in response to a variety of physiological and pathological stimuli remains poorly understood. Recent studies have shown that CD38 may sense redox signals and is thereby activated to produce cellular response and that the NADPH oxidase isoform, NOX1, is a major resource to produce superoxide (O2·−) in coronary arterial myocytes (CAMs) in response to muscarinic receptor agonist, which uses CD38-ADP-ribosylcyclase signaling pathway to exert its action in these CAMs. These findings led us hypothesize that NOX1-derived O2·− serves in an autocrine fashion to enhance CD38 internalization, leading to redox activation of CD38-ADP-ribosylcyclase activity in mouse CAMs. To test this hypothesis, confocal microscopy, flow cytometry and a membrane protein biotinylation assay were used in the present study. We first demonstrated that CD38 internalization induced by endothelin-1 (ET-1) was inhibited by silencing of NOX1 gene, but not NOX4 gene. Correspondingly, NOX1 gene silencing abolished ET-1-induced O2·− production and increased CD38-ADP-ribosylcyclase activity in CAMs, while activation of NOX1 by overexpression of Rac1 or Vav2 or administration of exogenous O2·− significantly increased CD38 internalization in CAMs. Lastly, ET-1 was found to markedly increase membrane raft clustering as shown by increased colocalization of cholera toxin-B with CD38 and NOX1. Taken together, these results provide direct evidence that Rac1-NOX1-dependent O2·− production mediates CD38 internalization in CAMs, which may represent an important mechanism linking receptor activation with CD38 activity in these cells.

Abstract
Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP), two intracellular Ca2+ mobilizing second messengers, have been recognized as a fundamental signaling mechanism regulating a variety of cell or organ functions in different biological systems. Here we reviewed the literature regarding these ADP-ribosylcyclase products in vascular cells with a major focus on their production, physiological roles, and related underlying mechanisms mediating their actions. In particular, several hot topics in this area of research are comprehensively discussed, which may help understand some of the controversial evidence provided by different studies. For example, some new models are emerging for the agonist receptor coupling of CD38 or ADP-ribosylcyclase and for the formation of an acidic microenvironment to facilitate the production of NAADP in vascular cells. We also summarized the evidence regarding the NAADP-mediated two-phase Ca2+ release with a slow Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR) and corresponding physiological relevance. The possibility of a permanent structural space between lysosomes and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), as well as the critical role of lysosome trafficking in phase 2 Ca2+ release in response to some agonists are also explored. With respect to the molecular targets of NAADP within cells, several possible candidates including SR ryanodine receptors (RyRs), lysosomal transient receptor potential-mucolipin 1 (TRP-ML1) and two pore channels (TPCs) are presented with supporting and opposing evidence. Finally, the possible role of NAADP-mediated regulation of lysosome function in autophagy and atherogenesis is discussed, which may indicate a new direction for further studies on the pathological roles of cADPR and NAADP in the vascular system.

Abstract
Glucose is a metabolic regulator of insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells, which is regulated by intracellular Ca(2+) signaling. We and others previously demonstrated that glucose activates CD38/ADP-ribosyl cyclase (ADPR-cyclase) to produce two Ca(2+) second messengers, cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP). Although F-actin remodeling is known to be an important step in glucose stimulated insulin secretion, the role of actin cytoskeleton in regulating Ca(2+) signaling in pancreatic β-cells remain to be solved. Here, we show that actin filaments are involved in the activation of CD38/ADPR-cyclase in pancreatic β-cells. Glucose induces a sequential formation of cADPR and NAADP. Pretreatment with jasplakinolide, an actin polymerizing agent, or a myosin heavy chain IIA (MHCIIA) blocker, blebbistatin, inhibited glucose-induced CD38 internalization, an essential step for cADPR formation. Blocking actin disassembly with jasplakinolide also abrogates glucose-induced cADPR and NAADP formation and sustained Ca(2+) signals. These results indicate that actin filaments along with MHCIIA play an important role in CD38 internalization for the generation of Ca(2+) mobilizing messengers for glucose-induced Ca(2+) signaling in pancreatic β-cells.

Abstract
The ADP-ribosyl cyclase CD38 whose catalytic domain resides in outside of the cell surface produces the second messenger cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) from NAD(+). cADPR increases intracellular Ca(2+) through the intracellular ryanodine receptor/Ca(2+) release channel (RyR). It has been known that intracellular NAD(+) approaches ecto-CD38 via its export by connexin (Cx43) hemichannels, a component of gap junctions. However, it is unclear how cADPR extracellularly generated by ecto-CD38 approaches intracellular RyR although CD38 itself or nucleoside transporter has been proposed to import cADPR. Moreover, it has been unknown what physiological stimulation can trigger Cx43-mediated export of NAD(+). Here we demonstrate that Cx43 hemichannels, but not CD38, import cADPR to increase intracellular calcium through RyR. We also demonstrate that physiological stimulation such as Fcγ receptor (FcγR) ligation induces calcium mobilization through three sequential steps, Cx43-mediated NAD(+) export, CD38-mediated generation of cADPR and Cx43-mediated cADPR import in J774 cells. Protein kinase A (PKA) activation also induced calcium mobilization in the same way as FcγR stimulation. FcγR stimulation-induced calcium mobilization was blocked by PKA inhibition, indicating that PKA is a linker between FcγR stimulation and NAD(+)/cADPR transport. Cx43 knockdown blocked extracellular cADPR import and extracellular cADPR-induced calcium mobilization in J774 cells. Cx43 overexpression in Cx43-negative cells conferred extracellular cADPR-induced calcium mobilization by the mediation of cADPR import. Our data suggest that Cx43 has a dual function exporting NAD(+) and importing cADPR into the cell to activate intracellular calcium mobilization.

Abstract
Several recent reports, including one in this journal, have reignited the debate about whether the calcium-mobilizing messenger, nicotinic adenine nucleotide diphosphate (NAADP) plays a central role in the regulation of calcium signalling in pancreatic β-cell. These studies have highlighted a role for NAADP-induced Ca(2+) mobilization not only in mediating the effects of the incretin, GLP-1 and the autocrine proliferative effects of insulin, but also possibly a fundamental role in glucose-mediated insulin secretion in the pancreatic β-cell.

Abstract
CD38 is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein with multiple functions. It acts as an ecto-enzyme as well as a receptor. The enzymatic activity catalyzes the formation of two potent Ca(2+) releasing agents: cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose (cADPR) from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) from NAD phosphate (NADP). The receptor function of CD38 leads to the phosphorylation of intracellular signaling proteins and the up-regulation of cytokine production in immune cells. These two functions of CD38 underlie its involvement in various biological processes, such as hormone secretion, immune cell differentiation, and immune responses. Clinically, CD38 is used as a negative prognosis marker for chronic lymphatic leukemia (CLL). However, a clear molecular understanding of CD38's role in physiology and pathology is still lacking. To facilitate the study of CD38 at cellular and molecular levels, here we report a mechanism-based method for fluorescently labeling CD38 on live cells. This labeling method does not interfere with the receptor function of CD38 and the downstream signaling. The labeling method is thus a useful tool to study the receptor function of CD38 in live cells. In addition, since the mechanism-based labeling also inhibits the enzymatic activity of CD38, it should be useful for dissecting the receptor function of CD38 without interference from its enzyme function in complicated biological processes.

Abstract
CD38 contains an ADP ribosylcyclase domain that mediates intracellular Ca(2+) signaling by the production of cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR), but the mechanisms by which the agonists activate this enzyme remain unclear. The present study tested a hypothesis that a special lipid-raft (LR) form, ceramide-enriched lipid platform, contributes to CD38 activation to produce cADPR in response to muscarinic type 1 (M(1)) receptor stimulation in bovine coronary arterial myocytes (CAMs). By confocal microscopic analysis, oxotremorine (Oxo), an M(1) receptor agonist, was found to increase LR clustering on the membrane with the formation of a complex of CD38 and LR components such as GM(1), acid sphingomyelinase (ASMase), and ceramide, a typical ceramide-enriched macrodomain. At 80 microM, Oxo increased LR clustering by 78.8%, which was abolished by LR disruptors, methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (MCD), or filipin. With the use of a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) technique, 15.5+/-1.9% energy transfer rate (vs. 5.3+/-0.9% of control) between CD38 and LR component, ganglioside M(1) was detected, further confirming the proximity of both molecules. In the presence of MCD or filipin, there were no FRET signals detected. In floated detergent-resistant membrane fractions, CD38 significantly increased in LR fractions of CAMs treated by Oxo. Moreover, MCD or filipin attenuated Oxo-induced production of cADPR via CD38. Functionally, Oxo-induced intracellular Ca(2+) release and coronary artery constriction via cADPR were also blocked by LR disruption or ASMase inhibition. These results provide the first evidence that the formation of ceramide-enriched lipid macrodomains is crucial for Oxo-induced activation of CD38 to produce cADPR in CAMs, and these lipid macrodomains mediate transmembrane signaling of M(1) receptor activation to produce second messenger cADPR.

Abstract
Activation of CD38 in lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells involves interleukin-8 (IL8)-mediated protein kinase G (PKG) activation and results in an increase in the sustained intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)), cADP-ribose, and LAK cell migration. However, direct phosphorylation or activation of CD38 by PKG has not been observed in vitro. In this study, we examined the molecular mechanism of PKG-mediated activation of CD38. Nonmuscle myosin heavy chain IIA (MHCIIA) was identified as a CD38-associated protein upon IL8 stimulation. The IL8-induced association of MHCIIA with CD38 was dependent on PKG-mediated phosphorylation of MHCIIA. Supporting these observations, IL8- or cell-permeable cGMP analog-induced formation of cADP-ribose, increase in [Ca(2+)](i), and migration of LAK cells were inhibited by treatment with the MHCIIA inhibitor blebbistatin. Binding studies using purified proteins revealed that the association of MHCIIA with CD38 occurred through Lck, a tyrosine kinase. Moreover, these three molecules co-immunoprecipitated upon IL8 stimulation of LAK cells. IL8 treatment of LAK cells resulted in internalization of CD38, which co-localized with MHCIIA and Lck, and blebbistatin blocked internalization of CD38. These findings demonstrate that the association of phospho-MHCIIA with Lck and CD38 is a critical step in the internalization and activation of CD38.

Abstract
The ADP-ribose (ADPR) pyrophosphatase (ADPRase) NUDT5, a member of a superfamily of Nudix hydrolases, hydrolyzes ADP-ribose (ADPR) to AMP and ribose 5'-phosphate. Nitric oxide (NO) enhances nonenzymatic ADP-ribosylation of proteins such as beta-actin and glyceraldehydes 3-phosphate dehydrogenase in the presence of free ADPR, suggesting a possibility that NUDT5 could also be ADP-ribosylated by its substrate, ADPR. Here, we show that NO stimulates nonenzymatic ADP-ribosylation of NUDT5 using ADP-ribose and consequently activates its ADPRase activity. We found that ADPRase activity in J774 macrophage cells is increased by the treatment with SNP, an exogenous NO generator or TNF-alpha/IFN-gamma, endogenous NO inducers. Anti-NUDT5 antibody pulled down most of the ADPRase activity increased by NO, indicating that the ADPRase regulated by NO is NUDT5. Using recombinant human NUDT5, we also demonstrated that the increase of ADPRase activity is mediated via ADP-ribosylation at cysteine residue(s) in the presence of reductant. This result suggests that NO activates NUDT5 through ADP-ribosylation at cysteine residues of the enzyme in macrophages.

Abstract
CD38 is a multifunctional enzyme capable of generating metabolites that release Ca2+ from intracellular stores, including nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP). A number of studies have led to the controversial proposal that CD38 mediates an alternate pathway for glucose-stimulated insulin release and contributes to the pathogenesis of diabetes. It has recently been shown that NAADP mediates Ca2+ mobilization by insulin in human pancreatic beta-cells. In the present study, we report altered Ca2+ homeostasis and reduced responsiveness to insulin, but not glucose, in Cd38-/- beta-cells. In keeping with the antiapoptotic role of insulin signaling, Cd38-/- islets were significantly more susceptible to apoptosis compared with islets isolated from littermate controls. This finding correlated with disrupted islet architecture and reduced beta-cell mass in Cd38-/- mice, both in the context of a normal lab diet and a high-fat diet. Nevertheless, we did not find robust differences in glucose homeostasis in vivo or glucose signaling in vitro in Cd38-/- mice on the C57BL/6 genetic background, in contrast to previous studies by others of Cd38 knockout mice on the ICR background. Thus, our results suggest that CD38 plays a role in novel antiapoptotic signaling pathways but does not directly control glucose signaling in pancreatic beta-cells.

Abstract
An alteration in the balance between a T-helper type 2 cell (Th2) response and a Th1 response may predispose to the development of bronchial asthma. Interleukin-18 (IL-18) has an ability to promote both Th1 and Th2 responses, depending on the surrounding cytokine environment. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness. Recent studies have demonstrated that antioxidants are able to reduce airway inflammation and hyperreactivity in animal models of asthma. In this study, we used a C57BL/6 mouse model of allergic asthma to examine the effects of antioxidants on the regulation of IL-18 expression. Our present study with ovalbumin-induced murine model of asthma revealed that ROS production in cells from bronchoalveolar lavage fluids was increased and that administration of L-2-oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid or alpha-lipoic acid reduced the increased levels of ROS, the increased expression of IL-18 protein and mRNA, airway inflammation, and bronchial hyperresponsiveness. Our results also showed that antioxidants down-regulated a transcription factor, nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB), activity. These results indicate that antioxidants may reduce IL-18 expression in asthma by inhibiting the activity of NF-kappaB and suggest that ROS regulate the IL-18 expression.

Abstract
The intimate relation between amino acids and protein and nitrogen requirements is well recognized. Nutrition research has focused on the capacity of food to meet the need for nitrogen and indispensable amino acids (IAA) and led to the conclusion that the quality, not just the quantity, of protein is critical. This is especially relevant in regard to the sulfur amino acids (SAA) methionine and cysteine because of the increased understanding of their relation to chronic diseases (e.g., cardiovascular disease, dementia, cirrhosis), immunomodulation, DNA transcription, and RNA translation. Considerable effort has been expended to determine whether and to what extent cysteine can spare the requirement for the IAA methionine. In vivo studies in humans generally concur that the dietary requirement of the SAA ranges between 13 and 16 mg.kg(-1).d(-1), but how much can be met by cysteine relative to methionine remains controversial. This review examines the current status of in vivo estimates of methionine and cysteine requirements in human adults and considers needs beyond what is necessary for protein synthesis. Factors influencing the utilization of methionine and cysteine, especially those conditions that lead to toxicity on the one hand or beneficial effects on the other, are discussed. Data on alternative dietary sources of methyl groups (e.g., betaine, choline, phosphatidylcholine, S-adenosylmethionine, S-methylmethionine) or sulfur (e.g., N-acetylcysteine or L-2-oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid) support a role for the SAA "beyond protein." Other pathways may influence the specific requirement for methionine and/or cysteine, especially when the person is challenged by disease, inadequate availability of food, or environmental stress.

Abstract
Oxidative stress plays critical roles in initiation and/or worsening of respiratory disease process. Although reactive oxygen species (ROS) are shown to cause vascular leakage, the mechanisms by which ROS induce an increase in vascular permeability are not clearly understood. In this study, we have used a murine model to evaluate the effect of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) to examine roles of ROS and the molecular mechanism in vascular permeability. The results have revealed that ROS levels, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression, hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha protein level, airway hyperresponsiveness, and vascular permeability are increased after inhalation of H(2)O(2). Administration of antioxidants markedly reduced plasma extravasation and VEGF levels in lungs treated with H(2)O(2). These results indicate that ROS may modulate vascular permeability via upregulation of VEGF expression.

Abstract
The present study was designed to determine the production of nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) and its role associated with lysosomes in mediating endothelin-1 (ET-1)-induced vasoconstriction in coronary arteries. HPLC assay showed that NAADP was produced in coronary arterial smooth muscle cells (CASMCs) via endogenous ADP-ribosyl cyclase. Fluorescence microscopic analysis of intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in CASMCs revealed that exogenous 100 nM NAADP increased [Ca2+]i by 711 +/- 47 nM. Lipid bilayer experiments, however, demonstrated that NAADP did not directly activate ryanodine (Rya) receptor Ca2+ release channels on the sarcoplasmic reticulum. In CASMCs pretreated with 100 nM bafilomycin A1 (Baf), an inhibitor of lysosomal Ca2+ release and vacuolar proton pump function, NAADP-induced [Ca2+]i increase was significantly abolished. Moreover, ET-1 significantly increased NAADP formation in CASMCs and resulted in the rise of [Ca2+]i in these cells with a large increase in global Ca2+ level of 1,815 +/- 84 nM. Interestingly, before this large Ca2+ increase, a small Ca2+ spike with an increase in [Ca2+]i of 529 +/- 32 nM was observed. In the presence of Baf (100 nM), this ET-1-induced two-phase [Ca2+]i response was completely abolished, whereas Rya (50 microM) only markedly blocked the ET-1-induced large global Ca2+ increase. Functional studies showed that 100 nM Baf significantly attenuated ET-1-induced maximal constriction from 82.26 +/- 4.42% to 51.80 +/- 4.36%. Our results suggest that a lysosome-mediated Ca2+ regulatory mechanism via NAADP contributes to ET-1-induced Ca2+ mobilization in CASMCs and consequent vasoconstriction of coronary arteries.

Abstract
ADP-ribose pyrophosphatase (ADPRase) hydrolyzes ADP-ribose to ribose-5-phosphate and AMP. The ADPRase activity have been assessed by coupling the reaction to alkaline phosphatase and colorimetrically measuring the amount of inorganic phosphate released from AMP that is one of the products of ADPRase. Another but less sensitive colorimetric method has been employed: the reaction mixture was treated with charcoal to adsorb the adenine-containing compounds such as AMP and ADPR and subsequently remaining ribose-5-phosphate was measured colorimetrically. However, the measurement of inorganic phosphate cannot be feasible to assay ADPRase in phosphate-containing samples and the determination of ribose-5-phosphate also is less sensitive. Here we develop a fluorescent assay for ADPRase that utilizes 1, N(6)-etheno ADP-ribose, a fluorescent analogue of ADP-ribose. This method measures fluorescent 1, N(6)-etheno adenosine that is produced by coupling the hydrolysis of 1, N(6)-etheno ADP-ribose to dephosphorylation with alkaline phosphatase. The fluorometric assay is comparable in sensitivity and useful for ADPRase assay in phosphate-containing samples.

Abstract
Inflammation of the asthmatic airway is usually accompanied by increased vascular permeability and plasma exudation. Oxidative stress plays critical roles in airway inflammation. Although reactive oxygen species (ROS) are shown to cause vascular leakage, the mechanisms by which ROS induce increased vascular permeability are not clearly understood. We have used a murine model of asthma to evaluate the effect of l-2-oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid (OTC), a prodrug of cysteine that acts as an antioxidant, more specifically in the increase of vascular permeability. These mice develop the following typical pathophysiological features of asthma in the lungs: increased numbers of inflammatory cells of the airways, airway hyper-responsiveness, increased vascular permeability, and increased levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Administration of OTC markedly reduced plasma extravasation and VEGF levels in allergen-induced asthmatic lungs. We also showed that at 72 h after ovalbumin inhalation, increased levels of hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (a transcriptional activator of VEGF) in nuclear protein extracts of lung tissues were decreased by the administration of OTC. These results indicate that OTC modulates vascular permeability by lowering VEGF expression.

Abstract
Oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of bronchial asthma. An excess production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and defective endogenous antioxidant defense mechanisms may be present in asthma. Reduced glutathione (GSH) is one of the most important reducing agents against oxidant free radicals. A reducing agent, L-2-oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid (OTC), a prodrug of cysteine, increases intracellular GSH. We have used a mouse model for asthma to determine effects of OTC on allergen-induced bronchial inflammation and airway hyper-responsiveness. The administration of OTC reduced bronchial inflammation and airway hyper-responsiveness. ROS generation in bronchoalveolar lavage fluids was increased by ovalbumin (OVA) inhalation, but this increase was diminished by administration of OTC. The increased IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, and eosinophil cationic protein levels in lungs after OVA inhalation were significantly reduced by the administration of OTC. In addition, the increased expression of ICAM-1, VCAM-1, RANTES, and eotaxin in lungs after OVA inhalation was significantly reduced by the administration of OTC. We also showed that the increased NF-kappaB levels in nuclear protein extracts of lung tissues at 72 h after OVA inhalation were decreased by the administration of OTC. These findings suggest that OTC may reduce airway inflammation and hyper-responsiveness through regulation of NF-kappaB activity.

Abstract
The cell surface antigen, CD38, is a bifunctional ecto-enzyme, which is predominantly expressed on hematopoietic cells during differentiation. In the present study, it is shown that hemin treatment of K562 cells gives rise to induction of enzymatic activities inherent to CD38. GDP-ribosyl cyclase activity, an indicator of CD38, increased initially in response to hemin in a time-dependent manner, reached a maximum level on the 5th day and, thereafter, declined sharply to the initial level. The increase in NAD(+) glycohydrolase and ADP-ribose uptake activities followed a similar time course. However, the decline in the latter activities after the 5th day of induction appeared to be rather slow in contrast to GDP-ribosyl cyclase activity. The time course of these changes was well correlated with the FACScan findings obtained by use of anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody. SDS-PAGE and Western blot analyses by use of the monoclonal antibody OKT10 revealed a transient hemin-dependent appearance of a 43 kDa membrane protein with maximum signal intensity on the first 4 days of incubation. There was subsequently a gradual decrease on the 5th day, concomitant with a reciprocal increase in activity of the internalized protein fraction. The results together indicated that hemin-induced expression of CD38 was followed by its down-regulation.

Abstract
CD38 is a transmembrane glycoprotein that functions as an ectoenzyme and as a receptor. Based on the structural similarity between CD38 and ADP-ribosyl cyclase from Aplysia californica, it was hypothesized that CD38 is expressed as a homodimer on the surface of cells. Indeed, CD38 dimers have been reported, however, the structural requirements for their stabilization on the plasma membrane are unknown. We demonstrate that the majority of CD38 is assembled as noncovalently associated homodimers on the surface of B cells. Analysis of CD38 mutants, expressed in Ba/F3 cells, revealed that truncation of the cytoplasmic region or mutation of a single amino acid within the alpha1-helix of CD38 decreased the stability of the CD38 homodimers when solubilized in detergent. Cells expressing the unstable CD38 homodimers had diminished expression of CD38 on the plasma membrane and the half-lives of these CD38 mutant proteins on the plasma membrane were significantly reduced. Together, these results show that CD38 is expressed as noncovalently associated homodimers on the surface of murine B cells and suggest that appropriate assembly of CD38 homodimers may play an important role in stabilizing CD38 on the plasma membrane of B cells.
