Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 2023; 324:C757-C768. [PMID: 36745528 PMCID: PMC10027089 DOI: 10.1152/ajpcell.00288.2022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2022] [Revised: 01/25/2023] [Accepted: 01/26/2023] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Kidney organoids cultured on adherent matrices in the presence of superfusate flow generate vascular networks and exhibit more mature podocyte and tubular compartments compared with static controls (Homan KA, Gupta N, Kroll KT, Kolesky DB, Skylar-Scott M, Miyoshi T, Mau D, Valerius MT, Ferrante T, Bonventre JV, Lewis JA, Morizane R. Nat Methods 16: 255-262, 2019; Takasato M, Er PX, Chiu HS, Maier B, Baillie GJ, Ferguson C, Parton RG, Wolvetang EJ, Roost MS, Chuva de Sousa Lopes SM, Little MH. Nature 526: 564-568, 2015.). However, their physiological function has yet to be systematically investigated. Here, we measured mechano-induced changes in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in tubules isolated from organoids cultured for 21-64 days, microperfused in vitro or affixed to the base of a specimen chamber, and loaded with fura-2 to measure [Ca2+]i. A rapid >2.5-fold increase in [Ca2+]i from a baseline of 195.0 ± 22.1 nM (n = 9; P ≤ 0.001) was observed when microperfused tubules from organoids >40 days in culture were subjected to luminal flow. In contrast, no response was detected in tubules isolated from organoids <30 days in culture. Nonperfused tubules (41 days) subjected to a 10-fold increase in bath flow rate also exhibited a threefold increase in [Ca2+]i from baseline (P < 0.001). Mechanosensitive PIEZO1 channels contribute to the flow-induced [Ca2+]i response in mouse distal tubule (Carrisoza-Gaytan R, Dalghi MG, Apodaca GL, Kleyman TR, Satlin LM. The FASEB J 33: 824.25, 2019.). Immunodetectable apical and basolateral PIEZO1 was identified in tubular structures by 21 days in culture. Basolateral PIEZO1 appeared to be functional as basolateral exposure of nonperfused tubules to the PIEZO1 activator Yoda 1 increased [Ca2+]i (P ≤ 0.001) in segments from organoids cultured for >30 days, with peak [Ca2+]i increasing with advancing days in culture. These results are consistent with a maturational increase in number and/or activity of flow/stretch-sensitive Ca2+ channels, including PIEZO1, in tubules of static organoids in culture.

Artemisinin inhibits neutrophil and macrophage chemotaxis, cytokine production and NET release. Sci Rep 2022; 12:11078. [PMID: 35773325 PMCID: PMC9245885 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-15214-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2022] [Accepted: 06/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Immune cell chemotaxis to the sites of pathogen invasion is critical for fighting infection, but in life-threatening conditions such as sepsis and Covid-19, excess activation of the innate immune system is thought to cause a damaging invasion of immune cells into tissues and a consequent excessive release of cytokines, chemokines and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). In these circumstances, tempering excessive activation of the innate immune system may, paradoxically, promote recovery. Here we identify the antimalarial compound artemisinin as a potent and selective inhibitor of neutrophil and macrophage chemotaxis induced by a range of chemotactic agents. Artemisinin released calcium from intracellular stores in a similar way to thapsigargin, a known inhibitor of the Sarco/Endoplasmic Reticulum Calcium ATPase pump (SERCA), but unlike thapsigargin, artemisinin blocks only the SERCA3 isoform. Inhibition of SERCA3 by artemisinin was irreversible and was inhibited by iron chelation, suggesting iron-catalysed alkylation of a specific cysteine residue in SERCA3 as the mechanism by which artemisinin inhibits neutrophil motility. In murine infection models, artemisinin potently suppressed neutrophil invasion into both peritoneum and lung in vivo and inhibited the release of cytokines/chemokines and NETs. This work suggests that artemisinin may have value as a therapy in conditions such as sepsis and Covid-19 in which over-activation of the innate immune system causes tissue injury that can lead to death.

Proteome-wide Mendelian randomization identifies causal links between blood proteins and severe COVID-19. PLoS Genet 2022; 18:e1010042.

Abstract
In November 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic death toll surpassed five million individuals. We applied Mendelian randomization including >3,000 blood proteins as exposures to identify potential biomarkers that may indicate risk for hospitalization or need for respiratory support or death due to COVID-19, respectively. After multiple testing correction, using genetic instruments and under the assumptions of Mendelian Randomization, our results were consistent with higher blood levels of five proteins GCNT4, CD207, RAB14, C1GALT1C1, and ABO being causally associated with an increased risk of hospitalization or respiratory support/death due to COVID-19 (ORs = 1.12-1.35). Higher levels of FAAH2 were solely associated with an increased risk of hospitalization (OR = 1.19). On the contrary, higher levels of SELL, SELE, and PECAM-1 decrease risk of hospitalization or need for respiratory support/death (ORs = 0.80-0.91). Higher levels of LCTL, SFTPD, KEL, and ATP2A3 were solely associated with a decreased risk of hospitalization (ORs = 0.86-0.93), whilst higher levels of ICAM-1 were solely associated with a decreased risk of respiratory support/death of COVID-19 (OR = 0.84). Our findings implicate blood group markers and binding proteins in both hospitalization and need for respiratory support/death. They, additionally, suggest that higher levels of endocannabinoid enzymes may increase the risk of hospitalization. Our research replicates findings of blood markers previously associated with COVID-19 and prioritises additional blood markers for risk prediction of severe forms of COVID-19. Furthermore, we pinpoint druggable targets potentially implicated in disease pathology.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Calcium (Ca2+) signaling is critical for the normal functioning of various cellular activities. However, abnormal changes in cellular Ca2+ can contribute to pathological conditions, including various types of cancer. The maintenance of intracellular Ca2+ levels is achieved through tightly regulated processes that help maintain Ca2+ homeostasis. Several types of regulatory proteins are involved in controlling intracellular Ca2+ levels, including the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum (SR/ER) Ca2+ ATPase pump (SERCA), which maintains Ca2+ levels released from the SR/ER. In total, three ATPase SR/ER Ca2+-transporting (ATP2A) 1-3 genes exist, which encode for several isoforms whose expression profiles are tissue-specific. Recently, it has become clear that abnormal SERCA expression and activity are associated with various types of cancer, including breast cancer. Breast carcinomas represent 40% of all cancer types that affect women, with a wide variety of pathological and clinical conditions. Materials and methods: Using cBioPortal breast cancer patient data, Kaplan–Meier plots demonstrated that high ATP2A1 and ATP2A3 expression was associated with reduced patient survival. Results: The present study found significantly different SERCA specific-type expressions in a series of breast cancer cell lines. Moreover, bioinformatics analysis indicated that ATP2A1 and ATP2A3 expression was highly altered in patients with breast cancer. Conclusion: Overall, the present data suggest that SERCA gene-specific expressioncan possibly be considered as a crucial target for the control of breast cancer development and progression.

Abstract
Ca2+ is an integral mediator of intracellular signaling, impacting almost every aspect of cellular life. The Ca2+-conducting transporters located on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane shoulder the responsibility of constructing the global Ca2+ signaling landscape. These transporters gate the ER Ca2+ release and uptake, sculpt signaling duration and intensity, and compose the Ca2+ signaling rhythm to accommodate a plethora of biological activities. In this review, we explore the mechanisms of activation and functional regulation of ER Ca2+ transporters in the establishment of Ca2+ homeostasis. We also contextualize the aberrant alterations of these transporters in carcinogenesis, presenting Ca2+-based therapeutic interventions as a means to tackle malignancies.

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
The sarco/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (SERCA), which plays a key role in the maintenance of Ca2+ ion homeostasis, is an extensively studied enzyme, the inhibition of which has a considerable impact on cell life and death decision. To date, several SERCA inhibitors have been thoroughly studied and the most notable one, a derivative of the sesquiterpene lactone thapsigargin, is gradually approaching a clinical application. Meanwhile, new compounds with SERCA-inhibiting properties of natural, synthetic, or semisynthetic origin are being discovered and/or developed; some of these might also be suitable for the development of new drugs with improved performance. This review brings an up-to-date comprehensive overview of recently discovered compounds with the potential of SERCA inhibition, discusses their mechanism of action, and highlights their potential clinical applications, such as cancer treatment.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca2+) is a fundamental regulator of cell fate and intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis is crucial for proper function of the nerve cells. Given the complexity of neurons, a constellation of mechanisms finely tunes the intracellular Ca2+ signaling. We are focusing on the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum (SR/ER) calcium (Ca2+)-ATPase (SERCA) pump, an integral ER protein. SERCA's well established role is to preserve low cytosolic Ca2+ levels ([Ca2+]cyt), by pumping free Ca2+ ions into the ER lumen, utilizing ATP hydrolysis. The SERCA pumps are encoded by three distinct genes, SERCA1-3, resulting in 12 known protein isoforms, with tissue-dependent expression patterns. Despite the well-established structure and function of the SERCA pumps, their role in the central nervous system is not clear yet. Interestingly, SERCA-mediated Ca2+ dyshomeostasis has been associated with neuropathological conditions, such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. We summarize here current evidence suggesting a role for SERCA in the neurobiology of neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders, thus highlighting the importance of this pump in brain physiology and pathophysiology.

Abstract
Background Salinomycin is a monocarboxylic polyether antibiotic and is a potential chemotherapy drug. Our previous studies showed that salinomycin inhibited cell growth and targeted CSCs in prostate cancer. However, the precise target of salinomycin action is unclear. Methods In this work, we analyzed and identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) after treatment with or without salinomycin using a gene expression microarray in vitro (PC-3 cells) and in vivo (NOD/SCID mice xenograft model generated from implanted PC-3 cells). Western blotting and immunohistochemical staining were used to analyze the expression of ATP2A3 and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress biomarkers. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the cell cycle, apoptosis and intracellular Ca2+ concentration. Results A significantly upregulated gene, ATPase sarcoplasmatic/endoplasmatic reticulum Ca2+ transporting 3 (ATP2A3), was successfully identified. In subsequent studies, we found that ATP2A3 overexpression could trigger ER stress and exert anti-cancer effects in PC-3 and DU145 cells. ATP2A3 was slightly expressed, but the ER stress biomarkers showed strong staining in prostate cancer tissues. We also found that salinomycin could trigger ER stress, which might be related to ATP2A3-mediated Ca2+ release in PC-3 cells. Furthermore, we found that salinomycin-triggered ER stress could promote apoptosis and thus exert anti-cancer effects in prostate cancer cells. Conclusion This study demonstrates that ATP2A3 might be one of the potential targets for salinomycin, which can inhibit Ca2+ release and trigger ER stress to exert anti-cancer effects.

Abstract
Sarco/endoplasmic reticulum calcium-ATPase (SERCA) is a membrane-bound cytosolic enzyme which is known to regulate the uptake of calcium into the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum. Herein, we demonstrate for the first time that SERCA can also regulate virus replication. Treatment of Vero cells with SERCA-specific inhibitor (Thapsigargin) at a concentration that is nontoxic to the cells significantly reduced Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) and Newcastle disease virus (NDV) replication. Conversely, overexpression of SERCA rescued the inhibitory effect of Thapsigargin on virus replication. PPRV and NDV infection induced SERCA expression in Vero cells, which could be blocked by Thapsigargin. Besides inducing enhanced formation of cytoplasmic foci, Thapsigargin was shown to block viral entry into the target cells as well as synthesis of viral proteins. Furthermore, NDV was shown to acquire significant resistance to Thapsigargin upon long-term passage (P) in Vero cells. As compared to the P0 and P70-Control, the fusion (F) protein of P70-Thapsigargin virus exhibited a unique mutation at amino acid residue 104 (E104K), whereas no Thapsigargin-associated mutations were observed in HN gene. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report describing the virus-supportive role of SERCA and a rare report suggesting that viruses may acquire resistance even in the presence of an inhibitor that targets a cellular factor.

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
Calcium (Ca2+) ions are prominent cell signaling regulators that carry information for a variety of cellular processes and are critical for neuronal survival and function. Furthermore, Ca2+ acts as a prominent second messenger that modulates divergent intracellular cascades in the nerve cells. Therefore, nerve cells have developed intricate Ca2+ signaling pathways to couple the Ca2+ signal to their biochemical machinery. Notably, intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis greatly relies on the rapid redistribution of Ca2+ ions into the diverse subcellular organelles which serve as Ca2+ stores, including the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). It is well established that Ca2+ released into the neuronal cytoplasm is pumped back into the ER by the sarco-/ER Ca2+ ATPase 2 (SERCA2), a P-type ion-motive ATPase that resides on the ER membrane. Even though the SERCA2 is constitutively expressed in nerve cells, its precise role in brain physiology and pathophysiology is not well-characterized. Intriguingly, SERCA2-dependent Ca2+ dysregulation has been implicated in several disorders that affect cognitive function, including Darier's disease, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease, and cerebral ischemia. The current review summarizes knowledge on the expression pattern of the different SERCA2 isoforms in the nervous system, and further discusses evidence of SERCA2 dysregulation in various neuropsychiatric disorders. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first literature review that specifically highlights the critical role of the SERCA2 in the brain. Advancing knowledge on the role of SERCA2 in maintaining neuronal Ca2+ homeostasis may ultimately lead to the development of safer and more effective pharmacotherapies to combat debilitating neuropsychiatric disorders.

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
Mutations or upregulation in presenilin 1 (PS1) gene are found in familial early-onset Alzheimer's disease or sporadic late-onset Alzheimer's disease, respectively. PS1 has been essentially studied in neurons and its mutation was shown to alter intracellular calcium (Ca2+) signals. Here, we showed that PS1 is expressed in smooth muscle cells (SMCs) of mouse cerebral arteries, and we assessed the effects of the deletion of exon 9 of PS1 (PS1dE9) on Ca2+ signals and contractile responses of vascular SMC. Agonist-induced contraction of cerebral vessels was significantly decreased in PS1dE9 both in vivo and ex vivo. Spontaneous activity of Ca2+ sparks through ryanodine-sensitive channels (RyR) was unchanged, whereas the RyR-mediated Ca2+-release activated by caffeine was shorter in PS1dE9 SMC when compared with control. Moreover, PS1dE9 mutation decreased the caffeine-activated capacitive Ca2+ entry, and inhibitors of SERCA pumps reversed the effects of PS1dE9 on Ca2+ signals. PS1dE9 mutation also leads to the increased expression of SERCA3, phospholamban, and RyR3. These results show that PS1 plays a crucial role in the cerebrovascular system and the vascular reactivity is decreased through altered Ca2+ signals in PS1dE9 mutant mice.

Abstract
The Ca2+ -ATPases from the Sarco/endoplasmic reticulum (SERCA) are fundamental for maintaining intracellular [Ca2+ ] homeostasis by pumping Ca2+ into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of eukaryotic cells. SERCA enzymes are encoded by three different genes (ATP2A1-3), whose expression occurs in a tissue and development stage-specific manner. It has been reported alterations in the expression of SERCA2 and SERCA3 pumps in different types of cancer: oral, lung, colon, stomach, central nervous system, thyroid, breast, and prostate. Resveratrol (RSV), a phytoalexin produced by a wide variety of plants in response to stress situations can modulate cellular processes involved in all stages of carcinogenesis. In this work, we used breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) to evaluate mRNA levels of ATP2A2 and ATP2A3 genes in response to RSV treatment. Our results demonstrate that RSV treatment induced the expression of ATP2A3 gene in both cell lines in a time and concentration-dependent manner, while the expression of ATP2A2 gene remained unaffected. The RSV-induced expression of SERCA3 in these breast cancer cell lines produced decreased cell viability, triggered apoptosis and changes in cytosolic Ca2+ levels, as well as changes in the capacity for Ca2+ release by the ER. These data suggest an important participation of SERCA3 genes in RSV-mediated anti-tumor effect in breast cancer cell lines. Nevertheless, further research is needed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying this effect.

Abstract
Ca(2+)-ATPases belonging to the superfamily of P-type pumps play an important role in maintaining low, nanomolar cytoplasmic Ca(2+) levels at rest and priming organellar stores, including the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi, and secretory vesicles with high levels of Ca(2+) for a wide range of signaling functions. In this review, we introduce the distinct subtypes of Ca(2+)-ATPases and their isoforms and splice variants and provide an overview of their specific cellular roles as they relate to genetic disorders and cancer, with a particular emphasis on recent findings on the secretory pathway Ca(2+)-ATPases (SPCA). Mutations in human ATP2A2, ATP2C1 genes, encoding housekeeping isoforms of the endoplasmic reticulum (SERCA2) and secretory pathway (SPCA1) pumps, respectively, confer autosomal dominant disorders of the skin, whereas mutations in other isoforms underlie various muscular, neurological, or developmental disorders. Emerging evidence points to an important function of dysregulated Ca(2+)-ATPase expression in cancers of the colon, lung, and breast where they may serve as markers of differentiation or novel targets for therapeutic intervention. We review the mechanisms underlying the link between calcium homeostasis and cancer and discuss the potential clinical relevance of these observations.

Abstract
Heart failure is a serious public health issue with a growing prevalence, and it is related with the aging of the population. Hypertension is identified as the main precursor of left ventricular hypertrophy and therefore can lead to diastolic dysfunction and heart failure. Scientific studies have confirmed the beneficial effects of the physical exercise by reducing the blood pressure and improving the functional status of the heart in hypertension. Several proteins are involved in the mobilization of calcium during the coupling excitation-contraction process in the heart among those are sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase, phospholamban, calsequestrin, sodium-calcium exchanger, L-type calcium's channel, and ryanodine receptors. Our goal is to address the beneficial effects of exercise on the calcium handling proteins in a heart with hypertension.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca(2+)ATPases (SERCA) system, a key regulator of calcium cycling and signaling, is composed of several isoforms. We aimed to characterize the expression of SERCA isoforms in mouse cardiovascular tissues and their modulation in cardiovascular pathologies (heart failure and/or atherosclerosis). Five isoforms (SERCA2a, 2b, 3a, 3b and 3c) were detected in the mouse heart and thoracic aorta. Absolute mRNA quantification revealed SERCA2a as the dominant isoform in the heart (~99%). Both SERCA2 isoforms co-localized in cardiomyocytes (CM) longitudinal sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), SERCA3b was located at the junctional SR. In the aorta, SERCA2a accounted for ~91% of total SERCA and SERCA2b for ~5%. Among SERCA3, SERCA3b was the most expressed (~3.3%), mainly found in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC), along with SERCA2a and 2b. In failing CM, SERCA2a was down-regulated by 2-fold and re-localized from longitudinal to junctional SR. A strong down-regulation of SERCA2a was also observed in atherosclerotic vessels containing mainly synthetic VSMCs. The proportion of both SERCA2b and SERCA3b increased to 9.5% and 8.3%, respectively. IN CONCLUSION 1) SERCA2a is the major isoform in both cardiac and vascular myocytes; 2) the expression of SERCA2a mRNA is ~30 fold higher in the heart compared to vascular tissues; and 3) nearly half the amount of SERCA2a mRNA is measured in both failing cardiomyocytes and synthetic VSMCs compared to healthy tissues, with a relocation of SERCA2a in failing cardiomyocytes. Thus, SERCA2a is the principal regulator of excitation-contraction coupling in both CMs and contractile VSMCs.

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
Investigating the phylogenetic relationships within physiologically essential gene families across a broad range of taxa can reveal the key gene duplication events underlying their family expansion and is thus important to functional genomics studies. P-Type II ATPases represent a large family of ATP powered transporters that move ions across cellular membranes and includes Na+/K+ transporters, H+/K+ transporters, and plasma membrane Ca2+ pumps. Here, we examine the evolutionary history of one such transporter, the Sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (SERCA), which maintains calcium homeostasis in the cell by actively pumping Ca2+ into the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum. Our protein-based phylogenetic analyses across Eukaryotes revealed two monophyletic clades of SERCA proteins, one containing animals, fungi, and plants, and the other consisting of plants and protists. Our analyses suggest that the three known SERCA proteins in vertebrates arose through two major gene duplication events after the divergence from tunicates, but before the separation of fishes and tetrapods. In plants, we recovered two SERCA clades, one being the sister group to Metazoa and the other to Apicomplexa clade, suggesting an ancient duplication in an early eukaryotic ancestor, followed by subsequent loss of one copy in Opisthokonta, the other in protists, and retention of both in plants. We also report relatively recent and independent gene duplication events within invertebrate taxa including tunicates and the leech Helobdella robusta. Thus, it appears that both ancient and recent gene duplication events have played an important role in the evolution of this ubiquitous gene family across the eukaryotic domain.

Abstract
The sense of taste is important for providing animals with valuable information about the qualities of food, such as nutritional or harmful nature. Mammals, including humans, can recognize at least five primary taste qualities: sweet, umami (savory), bitter, sour, and salty. Recent studies have identified molecules and mechanisms underlying the initial steps of tastant-triggered molecular events in taste bud cells, particularly the requirement of increased cytosolic free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](c)) for normal taste signal transduction and transmission. Little, however, is known about the mechanisms controlling the removal of elevated [Ca(2+)](c) from the cytosol of taste receptor cells (TRCs) and how the disruption of these mechanisms affects taste perception. To investigate the molecular mechanism of Ca(2+) clearance in TRCs, we sought the molecules involved in [Ca(2+)](c) regulation using a single-taste-cell transcriptome approach. We found that Serca3, a member of the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA) family that sequesters cytosolic Ca(2+) into endoplasmic reticulum, is exclusively expressed in sweet/umami/bitter TRCs, which rely on intracellular Ca(2+) release for signaling. Serca3-knockout (KO) mice displayed significantly increased aversive behavioral responses and greater gustatory nerve responses to bitter taste substances but not to sweet or umami taste substances. Further studies showed that Serca2 was mainly expressed in the T1R3-expressing sweet and umami TRCs, suggesting that the loss of function of Serca3 was possibly compensated by Serca2 in these TRCs in the mutant mice. Our data demonstrate that the SERCA family members play an important role in the Ca(2+) clearance in TRCs and that mutation of these proteins may alter bitter and perhaps sweet and umami taste perception.

Abstract
The current study uses proteomics to assess the effects of metal contamination on Sydney Rock oyster haemolymph. Saccostrea glomerata were exposed in aquaria for four days to three environmentally relevant metals (copper, lead or zinc). Oyster haemolymph proteins from metal-exposed oysters were then compared to haemolymph from non-exposed controls using 2-dimensional electrophoresis to identify proteins that differed significantly in intensity. These proteins were then subjected to tandem mass spectrometry so that putative protein identities could be assigned. The data suggest that there are unique protein expression profiles for each metal. Exposure to 100 μg/l of copper, lead or zinc yielded a total of 25 differentially expressed proteins. However, only one of these protein spots exhibited altered intensities in response to all three metals. Eighteen of the 25 spots were significantly affected by just one of the three metals. Differentially expressed proteins were assigned to five different categories of biological function. Proteins affecting shell properties were the most common functional group accounting for 34% of the identified proteins. Cytoskeletal activities and metabolism/stress responses each accounted for a further 25% of the proteins.

Abstract
Agonist-sensitive intracellular Ca2+ stores may be heterogeneous and exhibit distinct functional features. We have studied the properties of intracellular Ca2+ stores using targeted aequorins for selective measurements in different subcellular compartments. Both, HEK-293T [HEK (human embryonic kidney)-293 cells expressing the large T-antigen of SV40 (simian virus 40)] and HeLa cells accumulated Ca2+ into the ER (endoplasmic reticulum) to near millimolar concentrations and the IP3-generating agonists, carbachol and ATP, mobilized this Ca2+ pool. We find in HEK-293T, but not in HeLa cells, a distinct agonist-releasable Ca2+ pool insensitive to the SERCA (sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase) inhibitor TBH [2,5-di-(t-butyl)-benzohydroquinone]. TG (thapsigargin) and CPA (cyclopiazonic acid) completely emptied this pool, whereas lysosomal disruption or manoeuvres collapsing endomembrane pH gradients did not. Our results indicate that SERCA3d is important for filling the TBH-resistant store as: (i) SERCA3d is more abundant in HEK-293T than in HeLa cells; (ii) the SERCA 3 ATPase activity of HEK-293T cells is not fully blocked by TBH; and (iii) the expression of SERCA3d in HeLa cells generated a TBH-resistant agonist-mobilizable compartment in the ER. Therefore the distribution of SERCA isoforms may originate the heterogeneity of the ER Ca2+ stores and this may be the basis for store specialization in diverse functions. This adds to recent evidence indicating that SERCA3 isoforms may subserve important physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms.

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
BACKGROUND Glutathione peroxidase-3 (GPx-3) is a selenocysteine-containing plasma protein that scavenges reactive oxygen species in the extracellular compartment. A deficiency of this enzyme has been associated with platelet-dependent thrombosis, and a promoter haplotype with reduced function has been associated with stroke risk. METHODS AND RESULTS We recently developed a genetic mouse model to assess platelet function and thrombosis in the setting of GPx-3 deficiency. The GPx-3((-/-)) mice showed an attenuated bleeding time and an enhanced aggregation response to the agonist ADP compared with wild-type mice. GPx-3((-/-)) mice displayed increased plasma levels of soluble P-selectin and decreased plasma cyclic cGMP compared with wild-type mice. ADP infusion-induced platelet aggregation in the pulmonary vasculature produced a more robust platelet activation response in the GPx-3((-/-)) than wild-type mice; histological sections from the pulmonary vasculature of GPx-3((-/-)) compared with wild-type mice showed increased platelet-rich thrombi and a higher percentage of occluded vessels. Cremaster muscle preparations revealed endothelial dysfunction in the GPx-3((-/-)) compared with wild-type mice. With a no-flow ischemia-reperfusion stroke model, GPx-3((-/-)) mice had significantly larger cerebral infarctions compared with wild-type mice and platelet-dependent strokes. To assess the neuroprotective role of antioxidants in this model, we found that manganese(III) meso-tetrakis(4-benzoic acid)porphyrin treatment reduced stroke size in GPx-3((-/-)) mice compared with vehicle-treated controls. CONCLUSIONS These findings demonstrate that GPx-3 deficiency results in a prothrombotic state and vascular dysfunction that promotes platelet-dependent arterial thrombosis. These data illustrate the importance of this plasma antioxidant enzyme in regulating platelet activity, endothelial function, platelet-dependent thrombosis, and vascular thrombotic propensity.

Abstract
In pulmonary arterial smooth muscle, Ca(2+) release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) via ryanodine receptors (RyRs) may induce constriction and dilation in a manner that is not mutually exclusive. We show here that the targeting of different sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPases (SERCA) and RyR subtypes to discrete SR regions explains this paradox. Western blots identified protein bands for SERCA2a and SERCA2b, whereas immunofluorescence labeling of isolated pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells revealed striking differences in the spatial distribution of SERCA2a and SERCA2b and RyR1, RyR2, and RyR3, respectively. Almost all SERCA2a and RyR3 labeling was restricted to a region within 1.5 microm of the nucleus. In marked contrast, SERCA2b labeling was primarily found within 1.5 microm of the plasma membrane, where labeling for RyR1 was maximal. The majority of labeling for RyR2 lay in between these two regions of the cell. Application of the vasoconstrictor endothelin-1 induced global Ca(2+) waves in pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells, which were markedly attenuated upon depletion of SR Ca(2+) stores by preincubation of cells with the SERCA inhibitor thapsigargin but remained unaffected after preincubation of cells with a second SERCA antagonist, cyclopiazonic acid. We conclude that functionally segregated SR Ca(2+) stores exist within pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells. One sits proximal to the plasma membrane, receives Ca(2+) via SERCA2b, and likely releases Ca(2+) via RyR1 to mediate vasodilation. The other is located centrally, receives Ca(2+) via SERCA2a, and likely releases Ca(2+) via RyR3 and RyR2 to initiate vasoconstriction.

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

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

Abstract
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
The aetiology of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), the most common form of scoliosis, is unclear. Previous studies showed controversial platelet abnormalities including intracellular calcium. Platelet Ca2+ homeostasis is controlled by a multi-Ca2+-ATPase system including SERCA (sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase) and PMCA (plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase) isoforms. Here, we first investigated the expression of PMCA4b, SERCA3a and SERCA2b isoforms in platelets of 17 patients with AIS. Patients presenting thoracic curves were found to present a higher PMCA4b expression coupled to a lower SERCA3a one in agreement with an abnormality in platelet maturation. Indeed, using PMA-treated MEG 01 cells, an in vitro model of megakaryocytopoiesis, we found an increase in SERCA3a expression, associated to a caspase-3 mediated C terminal proteolysis of PMCA4b. To look whether platelets reflect a basic defect in cell differentiation, we next identified osteoblast Ca2+-ATPases and studied their expressions in AIS. Major expressions of PMCA4b and SERCA2b were found in normal osteoblasts. Comparing platelets and osteoblasts in two additional patients with AIS, we found opposite and concerted regulations of the expressions of PMCA4b and caspase-3 substrate, PARP in both cell types. A systemic defect in cell differentiation involving caspase-3 can be proposed as a novel mechanism in the etiopathogenesis of the most frequent type of AIS. *R. Bredoux and E. Corvazier contributed equally to this work.

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 human sarco/endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca(2+)ATPase 3 (SERCA3) gene gives rise to SERCA3a-3f isoforms, the latter inducing ER stress in vitro. Here, we first demonstrated the co-expression of SERCA3a, -3d and -3f proteins in the heart. Evidence for endogenous proteins was obtained by using isoform-specific antibodies including a new SERCA3d-specific antibody, and either Western blotting of protein lysates or immunoprecipitation of membrane proteins. An immunolocalization study of both left ventricle tissue and isolated cardiomyocytes showed a distinct compartmentalization of the SERCA3 isoforms, as a uniform distribution of SERCA3a was detected while -3d and -3f isoforms were observed around the nucleus and in close vicinity of plasma membrane, respectively. Second, we studied their expressions in failing hearts including mixed (MCM) (n=1) and idiopathic dilated (IDCM) cardiomyopathies (n=4). Compared with controls (n=5), similar expressions of SERCA3a and -3d mRNAs were observed in all patients. In contrast, SERCA3f mRNA was found to be up-regulated in failing hearts (125+/-7%). Remarkably, overexpression of SERCA3f paralleled an increase in ER stress markers including processing of X-box-binding protein-1 (XBP-1) mRNA (176+/-24%), and expression of XBP-1 protein and glucose-regulated protein (GRP)78 (232+/-21%). These findings revisit the human heart's Ca(2+)ATPase system and indicate that SERCA3f may account for the mechanism of ER stress in vivo in heart failure.

Abstract
Thapsigargin is a sesquiterpene lactone of guaianolide type isolated from the Mediterranean plant Thapsia garganica L. It is widely used experimentally as a potent and selective inhibitor of sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) leading to rapid elevation of intracellular calcium [Ca2+]i. Several previous reports have shown that thapsigargin interferes with production of nitric oxide (NO) by mouse peritoneal macrophages and mouse macrophage cell lines. The present data confirm that thapsigargin is a modest inducer of NO in mouse macrophages, production of NO being slightly enhanced by lipopolysaccharide. However, thapsigargin on its own very potently induces NO in macrophages of rats under conditions in vitro. The highest effect was observed after the concentration of 0.25 microM thapsigargin, producing approximately 30 microM accumulation of nitrites in supernatants of cells cultured for 24 h. The aim of our experiments was to investigate immune mechanisms implicated in activation of high-output NO biosynthesis. It has been found that thapsigargin dose-dependently induces secretion of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) in macrophages of both rats and mice, and also in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The IFN-gamma production was rather low in macrophages of mice while relatively very high levels of IFN-gamma were found in cultures of rat macrophages and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The concentration of IFN-gamma produced by 5 microM thapsigargin within the interval of 24 h exceeded 3 ng/ml in rat macrophages and approached 2 ng/ml in cultures of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The effects are mediated by mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) such as p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38) and extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2), and by nuclear transcriptional factor NF-kappaB. In summary, the original findings demonstrate immunostimulatory potential of thapsigargin and warrant more detailed preclinical studies.

Abstract
Endogenously expressed human canonical transient receptor potential 1 (hTRPC1) and human canonical transient receptor potential 6 (hTRPC6) have been shown to play a role in store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) in human platelets, where two mechanisms for SOCE, regulated by the dense tubular system (DTS) or the acidic granules, have been identified. In cells preincubated for 1 min with 100 microM flufenamic acid we show that hTRPC6 is involved in SOCE activated by both mechanisms, as demonstrated by selective depletion of the DTS or the acidic stores, using thapsigargin (TG) (10 nM) or 2,5-di-(tert-butyl)-1,4-hydroquinone (TBHQ) (20 microM), respectively, although it is more relevant after acidic store depletion. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments indicated that depletion of both stores separately results in time-dependent interaction between hTRPC1 and hTRPC6, and also between both hTRPCs and the type II IP3 receptor (IP3RII). The latter was greater after treatment with TG. TBHQ-induced coupling between hTRPC1 and 6 was transient and decreased after 30s of treatment, while that induced by TG increased for at least 3 min. TBHQ induced association between SERCA3, located in the acidic stores, hTRPC1, hTRPC6 and Orai1. TBHQ also evoked coupling between SERCA3 and IP3RII, presumably located in the DTS, thus suggesting interplay between both Ca2+ stores. Similarly, TG induces the interaction of SERCA2b with hTRPC1 and 6 and the IP3RII. The interactions between hTRPC1, hTRPC6, IP3RII and SERCA3 were impaired by disruption of the microtubules, supporting a role for microtubules in Ca2+ homeostasis. In conclusion, the present data demonstrate for the first time that hTRPC1, hTRPC6, IP3RII and SERCA3 are parts of a macromolecular protein complex activated by depletion of the intracellular Ca2+ stores in human platelets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown platelet Ca(2+) abnormalities in diabetes mellitus and some reports suggest abnormal platelet production. Platelet Ca(2+) homeostasis is controlled by a multi-Ca(2+)-ATPase system that includes two plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase (PMCA) and seven sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA) isoforms. In addition, we recently found that the expression of PMCA4b and SERCA3 isoforms may serve as new markers of abnormal megakaryocytopoiesis [Nurden P et al. Impaired megakaryocytopoiesis in type 2B von Willebrand disease with severe thrombocytopenia. Blood 2006; 108: 2587-95]. AIM To analyze the expression of major platelet Ca(2+)-ATPases in 27 patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes (T1D or T2D) compared with normal donors. METHODS Investigation of protein and mRNA expressions of PMCA1b and PMCA4b, and SERCA2b, SERCA3a and SERCA3b, using specific Western blotting and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, respectively. RESULTS Remarkably, all patients with T1D were found to present a higher expression of PMCA4b protein (212% +/- 28%; n = 10) and PMCA4b mRNA (155% +/- 16%; n = 17), coupled with a higher expression of SERCA3b mRNA (165% +/- 9%) in some cases. Patients with T2D (n = 10) were also studied for protein expression and were found to present similar major upregulation of the expression of PMCA4b protein (180% +/- 28%; n = 10). Lastly, five of 10 patients with T1D were studied for PMCA4b expression after insulin treatment, with four of five recovering normal expression (96% +/- 15%; n = 5). CONCLUSIONS Compared with the expression of PMCA4b upon platelet maturation, platelets from diabetic patients exhibit similarities with immature megakaryocytes. Thus, this study reinforces the idea that abnormal megakaryocytopoiesis can provide additional insights into diabetes and could represent a novel therapeutic target for antithrombotic drugs.

Abstract
The role of intracellular organelles in Ca2+ homeostasis was studied in salamander rod and cone photoreceptors under conditions that simulate photoreceptor activation by darkness and light. Sustained depolarization evoked a Ca2+ gradient between the cell body and ellipsoid regions of the inner segment (IS). The standing pattern of calcium fluxes was created by interactions between the plasma membrane, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and mitochondria. Pharmacological experiments suggested that mitochondria modulate both baseline [Ca2+]i in hyperpolarized cells as well as kinetics of Ca2+ entry via L type Ca2+ channels in cell bodies and ellipsoids of depolarized rods and cones. Inhibition of mitochondrial Ca2+ sequestration by antimycin/oligomycin caused a three-fold reduction in the amount of Ca2+ accumulated into intracellular organelles in both cell bodies and ellipsoids. A further 50% decrease in intracellular Ca2+ content within cell bodies, but not ellipsoids, was observed after suppression of SERCA-mediated Ca2+ uptake into the ER. Inhibition of Ca2+ sequestration into the endoplasmic reticulum by thapsigargin or cyclopiazonic acid decreased the magnitude and kinetics of depolarization-evoked Ca2+ signals in cell bodies of rods and cones and decreased the amount of Ca2+ accumulated into internal stores. These results suggest that steady-state [Ca2+]i in photoreceptors is regulated in a region-specific manner, with the ER contribution predominant in the cell body and mitochondrial buffering [Ca2+] the ellipsoid. Local [Ca2+]i levels are set by interactions between the plasma membrane Ca2+ channels and transporters, ER and mitochondria. Mitochondria are likely to play an essential role in temporal and spatial buffering of photoreceptor Ca2+.

Abstract
The secretory-pathway Ca2+-ATPases (SPCAs) represent a recently recognized family of phosphorylation-type ATPases that supply the lumen of the Golgi apparatus with Ca2+ and Mn2+ needed for the normal functioning of this structure. Mutations of the human SPCA1 gene (ATP2C1) cause Hailey-Hailey disease, an autosomal dominant skin disorder in which keratinocytes in the suprabasal layer of the epidermis detach. We will first review the physiology of the SPCAs and then discuss how mutated SPCA1 proteins can lead to an epidermal disorder.

Abstract
Sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum (SER) Ca2+ ATPases represent a highly conserved family of Ca2+ pumps which actively transport Ca2+ from the cytosol to the SER against a large concentration gradient. In humans, 3 genes (ATP2A1-3) generate multiple isoforms (SERCAla,b, SERCA2a-c, SECA3a-f) by developmental or tissue-specific alternative splicing. These pumps differ by their regulatory and kinetic properties, allowing for optimized function in the tissue where they are expressed. They play a central role in calcium signalling through regenerating SER Ca2+ stores, maintaining appropriate Ca2+ levels in this organelle and shaping cytosolic and nuclear Ca2+ variations which govern cell response. Defects in ATP2A1 encoding SERCA1 cause recessive Brody myopathy, mutations in ATP2A2 coding for SERCA2 underlie a dominant skin disease, Darier disease and its clinical variants. SERCA2a expression is reduced in heart failure in human and in mice models. Gene-targeting studies in mouse confirmed the expected function of these isoforms in some cases, but also resulted in unexpected phenotypes: SERCA1 null mutants die from respiratory failure, SERCA2 heterozygous mutant mice develop skin cancer with age and SERCA3 null mice display no diabetes. These unique phenotypes have provided invaluable information on the role of these pumps in specific tissues and species, and have improved our understanding of Ca2+ regulated processes in muscles, the heart and the skin in human and in mice. Although the understanding of the pathogenesis of these diseases is still incomplete, these recent advances hold the promise of improved knowledge on the disease processes and the identification of new targets for therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are inflammatory disorders associated with decreased colonic contractility. Here we show that, in experimental colitis in rat induced by trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid, there is a decrease in contraction in response to carbamoylcholine and the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(+2) (SERCA) pump inhibitor thapsigargin. However, the decrease in contractility may occur due to decrease in the SERCA pump levels or their inactivation. Therefore, we examined the protein and mRNA levels for SERCA2 isoform, which is predominant isoform in colonic smooth muscle. There was a decrease in the levels of SERCA2 protein and mRNA levels in inflamed colonic muscle. These findings suggest that decreased SERCA pump levels is responsible for a decrease in the Ca(+2) stores in the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum that causes a decrease in the contractility in colonic smooth muscle leading to poor bowel movements.

Abstract
Sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)ATPases (SERCAs) pump free Ca(2+) from the cytosol into the endoplasmic reticulum. The human SERCA3 family counts six members named SERCA3a to 3f. However, the exact role of these different isoforms in cellular physiology remains undetermined. In this study, we compared some physiological consequences of SERCA3b and SERCA3f overexpression in HEK-293 cells. We observed that overexpression of SERCA3b affected cell adhesion capacity associated with a major disorganization of F-actin and a decrease in focal adhesion. Furthermore, we found that SERCA3f overexpression resulted in an increase in endoplasmic reticulum stress markers (including processing of X-box-binding protein-1 (XBP-1) mRNA and expression of chaperone glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78)). This was associated with the activation of caspase cascade and a higher spontaneous cell death. In conclusion, these data point for the first time to distinct physiological roles of SERCA3 isoforms in cell functions.

Abstract
Darier disease (DD) and Hailey-Hailey disease (HHD) are the only known autosomal-dominant Ca2+ ATPase disorders. Epidermal symptoms selectively occur in the affected individuals, the precise reason for which is still not fully understood. Here, we review the clinical, epidermal, and molecular features of the two genodermatoses. It is concluded that epidermal Ca2+ regulation disturbances and epigenetic factors may play an even more prominent role in the pathogenesis of DD and HHD than earlier appreciated.

Abstract
Calcium homeostasis of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is involved in intracellular signaling pathways and is implicated in major cell functions such as cell growth, differentiation, protein synthesis and apoptosis. The accumulation of calcium in the ER is performed by specific sarco/endoplasmic reticulum calcium transport ATPases (SERCA iso-enzymes). The expression of biochemically distinct SERCA isoforms is cell type dependent and developmentally regulated. This review summarizes pertinent data about the modulation of the expression of SERCA enzymes during the differentiation of normal and tumor cells. These data support the implication of SERCA pumps and especially SERCA3 in the differentiation program of cancer and leukemia cells. During the multi-step process of colon carcinogenesis, the decrease of SERCA3 expression seems to be linked to enhanced APC/ss-catenin/TCF4 signaling and deficient Sp1-like factor-dependent transcription.

Abstract
In type 2B von Willebrand disease, there is spontaneous binding of mutated von Willebrand factor (VWF) multimers to platelets. Here we report a family in which severe thrombocytopenia may also be linked to abnormal megakaryocytopoiesis. A heterozygous mutation in the VWF A1 domain gave a R1308P substitution in an interactive site for glycoprotein Ibalpha (GPIbalpha). Electron microscopy showed clusters of platelets in close contact. Binding of antibodies to the GPIbalpha N-terminal domain was decreased, whereas GPIX and GPV were normally detected. In Western blotting (WB), GPIbalpha, alphaIIb, and beta3 were normally present. Proteins involved in Ca(2+) homeostasis were analyzed by quantitating platelet mRNA or by WB. Plasma membrane Ca(2+) ATPase (PMCA)-4b and type III inositol trisphosphate receptor (InsP(3)-R3) were selectively increased. The presence of degradation products of polyadenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribose polymerase protein (PARP) suggested ongoing caspase-3 activity. These were findings typical of immature normal megakaryocytes cultured from peripheral blood CD34(+) cells with TPO. Significantly, megakaryocytes from the patients in culture produced self-associated and interwoven proplatelets. Immunolocalization showed VWF not only associated with platelets, but already on the megakaryocyte surface and within internal channels. In this family, type 2B VWD is clearly associated with abnormal platelet production.
