Sarm1 activation produces cADPR to increase intra-axonal Ca++ and promote axon degeneration in PIPN. J Cell Biol 2022; 221:e202106080.

Abstract
Cancer patients frequently develop chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), a painful and long-lasting disorder with profound somatosensory deficits. There are no effective therapies to prevent or treat this disorder. Pathologically, CIPN is characterized by a "dying-back" axonopathy that begins at intra-epidermal nerve terminals of sensory neurons and progresses in a retrograde fashion. Calcium dysregulation constitutes a critical event in CIPN, but it is not known how chemotherapies such as paclitaxel alter intra-axonal calcium and cause degeneration. Here, we demonstrate that paclitaxel triggers Sarm1-dependent cADPR production in distal axons, promoting intra-axonal calcium flux from both intracellular and extracellular calcium stores. Genetic or pharmacologic antagonists of cADPR signaling prevent paclitaxel-induced axon degeneration and allodynia symptoms, without mitigating the anti-neoplastic efficacy of paclitaxel. Our data demonstrate that cADPR is a calcium-modulating factor that promotes paclitaxel-induced axon degeneration and suggest that targeting cADPR signaling provides a potential therapeutic approach for treating paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy (PIPN).

Abstract
The precise spatiotemporal characteristics of subcellular calcium (Ca2+) transients are critical for the physiological processes. Here we report a green Ca2+ sensor called "G-CatchER+" using a protein design to report rapid local ER Ca2+ dynamics with significantly improved folding properties. G-CatchER+ exhibits a superior Ca2+ on rate to G-CEPIA1er and has a Ca2+-induced fluorescence lifetimes increase. G-CatchER+ also reports agonist/antagonist triggered Ca2+ dynamics in several cell types including primary neurons that are orchestrated by IP3Rs, RyRs, and SERCAs with an ability to differentiate expression. Upon localization to the lumen of the RyR channel (G-CatchER+-JP45), we report a rapid local Ca2+ release that is likely due to calsequestrin. Transgenic expression of G-CatchER+ in Drosophila muscle demonstrates its utility as an in vivo reporter of stimulus-evoked SR local Ca2+ dynamics. G-CatchER+ will be an invaluable tool to examine local ER/SR Ca2+ dynamics and facilitate drug development associated with ER dysfunction.

Abstract
In response to viral infections, the innate immune system rapidly activates expression of several interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs), whose protein and metabolic products are believed to directly interfere with the viral life cycle. Here, we argue that biochemical reactions performed by two specific protein products of ISGs modulate central carbon metabolism to support a broad-spectrum antiviral response. We demonstrate that the metabolites generated by metalloenzymes nitric oxide synthase and the radical S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) enzyme RSAD2 inhibit the activity of the housekeeping and glycolytic enzyme glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). We discuss that this inhibition is likely to stimulate a range of metabolic and signalling processes to support a broad-spectrum immune response. Based on these analyses, we propose that inhibiting GAPDH in individuals with deteriorated cellular innate immune response like elderly might help in treating viral diseases such as COVID-19.

Abstract
In this study, we tested the hypothesis that the RyR1 Ca2+ channel closure is sensitive to outward trans-SR membrane Ca2+ gradients established by SERCA1 pumping. To perform these studies, we employed stopped-flow rapid-kinetic fluorescence methods to measure and assess how variation in trans-SR membrane Ca2+ distribution affects evolution of RyR1 Ca2+ leaks in RyR1/ CASQ1/SERCA1-rich membrane vesicles. Our studies showed that rapid filling of a Mag-Fura-2-sensitive free Ca2+ pool during SERCA1-mediated Ca2+ sequestration appears to be a crucial condition allowing RyR1 Ca2+ channels to close once reloading of luminal Ca2+ stores is complete. Disruption in the filling of this pool caused activation of Ruthenium Red inhibitable RyR1 Ca2+ leaks, suggesting that SERCA1 pump formation of outward Ca2+ gradients is an important aspect of Ca2+ flux control channel opening and closing. In addition, our observed ryanodine-induced shift in luminal Ca2+ from free to a CTC-Ca+-sensitive, CASQ1-associated bound compartment underscores the complex organization and regulation of SR luminal Ca2+. Our study provides strong evidence that RyR1 functional states directly and indirectly influence the compartmentation of luminal Ca2+. This, in turn, is influenced by the activity of SERCA1 pumps to fill luminal pools while synchronously reducing Ca2+ levels on the cytosolic face of RyR1 channels.

Abstract
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) of small peripheral arteries contribute to blood pressure control by adapting their contractile state. These adaptations depend on the VSMC cytosolic Ca2+ concentration, regulated by complex local elementary Ca2+ signaling pathways. Ca2+ sparks represent local, transient, rapid calcium release events from a cluster of ryanodine receptors (RyRs) in the sarcoplasmic reticulum. In arterial SMCs, Ca2+ sparks activate nearby calcium-dependent potassium channels, cause membrane hyperpolarization and thus decrease the global intracellular [Ca2+] to oppose vasoconstriction. Arterial SMC Cav1.2 L-type channels regulate intracellular calcium stores content, which in turn modulates calcium efflux through RyRs. Cav3.2 T-type channels contribute to a minor extend to Ca2+ spark generation in certain types of arteries. Their localization within cell membrane caveolae is essential. We summarize present data on local elementary calcium signaling (Ca2+ sparks) in arterial SMCs with focus on RyR isoforms, large-conductance calcium-dependent potassium (BKCa) channels, and cell membrane-bound calcium channels (Cav1.2 and Cav3.2), particularly in caveolar microdomains.

Abstract
The Chinese Qingyu pig breed is an invaluable indigenous genetic resource. However, few studies have investigated the genetic architecture of meat quality traits in Qingyu pigs. Here, 30 purebred Qingyu pigs were subjected to whole-genome sequencing. After quality control, 18 436 759 SNPs were retained. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were then performed for meat pH and color at three postmortem time points (45 min, 24 h, and 48 h) using single-marker regression analysis. In total, 11 and 69 SNPs were associated with meat pH and color of the longissimus thoracis muscle (LTM), respectively, while 54 and 29 SNPs were associated with meat pH and color of the semimembranosus muscle (SM), respectively. Seven SNPs associated with pork pH were shared by all three postmortem time points. Several candidate genes for meat traits were identified, including four genes (CXXC5, RYR3, BNIP3, and MYCT1) related to skeletal muscle development, regulation of Ca2+ release in the muscle, and anaerobic respiration, which are promising candidates for selecting superior meat quality traits in Qingyu pigs. To our knowledge, this is the first study investigating the postmortem genetic architecture of pork pH and color in Qingyu pigs. Our findings further the current understanding of the genetic factors influencing meat quality.

Abstract
Vertebrate skeletal muscle contraction and relaxation is a complex process that depends on Ca2+ ions to promote the interaction of actin and myosin. This process can be modulated by nitric oxide (NO), a gas molecule synthesized endogenously by (nitric oxide synthase) NOS isoforms. At nanomolar concentrations NO activates soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), which in turn activates protein kinase G via conversion of GTP into cyclic GMP. Alternatively, NO post-translationally modifies proteins via S-nitrosylation of the thiol group of cysteine. However, the mechanisms of action of NO on Ca2+ homeostasis during muscle contraction are not fully understood and we hypothesize that NO exerts its effects on Ca2+ homeostasis in skeletal muscles mainly through negative modulation of Ca2+ release and Ca2+ uptake via the NO-sGC-PKG pathway. To address this, we used 5–7 days-post fecundation-larvae of zebrafish, a well-established animal model for physiological and pathophysiological muscle activity. We evaluated the response of muscle contraction and Ca2+ transients in presence of SNAP, a NO-donor, or L-NAME, an unspecific NOS blocker in combination with specific blockers of key proteins of Ca2+ homeostasis. We also evaluate the expression of NOS in combination with dihydropteridine receptor, ryanodine receptor and sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase. We concluded that endogenous NO reduced force production through negative modulation of Ca2+ transients via the NO-sGC pathway. This effect could be reversed using an unspecific NOS blocker or sGC blocker.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca(2+)) is an important multifaceted second messenger that regulates a wide range of cellular events. A Ca(2+)-signaling toolkit has been shown to exist in the nucleus and to be capable of generating and modulating nucleoplasmic Ca(2+) transients. Within the nucleus, Ca(2+) controls cellular events that are different from those modulated by cytosolic Ca(2+). This review focuses on nuclear Ca(2+) signals and their role in regulating physiological and pathological processes.

Abstract
Obesity is a risk of cardiovascular diseases. Our previous studies revealed that serum calcium level may have influence in the blood pressure to older male subjects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between total serum calcium level and overweight and obesity subjects. In our study, overweight and obesity status and total serum calcium level were measured among 2,503 subjects, at age range of 22-94 years, who were recruited for the routine health screening in 2006. The estimated mean for age (p < 0.001), white blood cell count (p = 0.037), hemoglobin concentration (p < 0.001), red blood cell count (p < 0.001), total serum calcium level (p < 0.001), total cholesterol weight (p < 0.001), HDL-cholesterol (p < 0.001), LDL-cholesterol (p < 0.001), and triglyceride (p < 0.001) of overweight and obesity subjects were significantly higher than those of non-overweight subjects. The prevalence of overweight/obesity in subjects according to the log-transformed total serum calcium level quartiles was 16.3-30.5 %. The prevalence of overweight/obesity subjects showed trends that were significant according to the total serum calcium level quartiles (p < 0.001). The odds ratios (ORs) and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) for overweight/obesity of the second, third, and fourth quartiles compared to the lowest quartile were 1.407 (1.050-1.883), 1.543 (1.136-2.095), and 1.360 (0.995-1.859), respectively, after adjusting for sex and age (p < 0.001). These findings suggest that a higher prevalence of adult overweight/obesity is weakly associated with higher total serum calcium level in the Chinese population.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca2+) is an essential signal transduction element involved in the regulation of several cellular activities and it is required at various key stages of the cell cycle. Intracellular Ca2+ is crucial for the orderly cell cycle progression and plays a vital role in the regulation of cell proliferation. Recently, it was demonstrated by in vitro and in vivo studies that nucleoplasmic Ca2+ regulates cell growth. Even though the mechanism by which nuclear Ca2+ regulates cell proliferation is not completely understood, there are reports demonstrating that activation of tyrosine kinase receptors (RTKs) leads to translocation of RTKs to the nucleus to generate localized nuclear Ca2+ signaling which are believed to modulate cell proliferation. Moreover, nuclear Ca2+ regulates the expression of genes involved in cell growth. This review will describe the nuclear Ca2+ signaling machinery and its role in cell proliferation. Additionally, the potential role of nuclear Ca2+ as a target in cancer therapy will be discussed.

Abstract
In our preceding companion paper (Wang Y, Winters J, Subramaniam S. J Appl Physiol. doi: 10.1152/japplphysiol.01514.2011), we used extensive expression profile data on normal human subjects, in combination with legacy knowledge to classify skeletal muscle function into four models, namely excitation-activation, mechanical, metabolic, and signaling-production model families. In this paper, we demonstrate how this classification can be applied to study two well-characterized myopathies: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Using skeletal muscle profile data from ALS and DMD patients compared with that from normal subjects, normal young in the case of DMD, we delineate molecular mechanisms that are causative and consequential to skeletal muscle dysfunction. In ALS, our analysis establishes the metabolic role and specifically identifies the mechanisms of calcium dysregulation and defects in mitochondrial transport of materials as important for muscle dysfunction. In DMD, we illustrate how impaired mechanical function is strongly coordinated with other three functional networks, resulting in transformation of the skeletal muscle into hybrid forms as a compensatory mechanism. Our functional models also provide, in exquisite detail, the mechanistic role of myriad proteins in these four families in normal and disease function.

Abstract
Excitation-contraction coupling involves the faithful conversion of electrical stimuli to mechanical shortening in striated muscle cells, enabled by the ubiquitous second messenger, calcium. Crucial to this process are ryanodine receptors (RyRs), the sentinels of massive intracellular calcium stores contained within the sarcoplasmic reticulum. In response to sarcolemmal depolarization, RyRs release calcium into the cytosol, facilitating mobilization of the myofilaments and enabling cell contraction. In order for the cells to relax, calcium must be rapidly resequestered or extruded from the cytosol. The sustainability of this cycle is crucially dependent upon precise regulation of RyRs by numerous cytosolic metabolites and by proteins within the lumen of the sarcoplasmic reticulum and those directly associated with the receptors in a macromolecular complex. In addition to providing the majority of the calcium necessary for contraction of cardiac and skeletal muscle, RyRs act as molecular switchboards that integrate a multitude of cytosolic signals such as dynamic and steady calcium fluctuations, β-adrenergic stimulation (phosphorylation), nitrosylation and metabolic states, and transduce these signals to the channel pore to release appropriate amounts of calcium. Indeed, dysregulation of calcium release via RyRs is associated with life-threatening diseases in both skeletal and cardiac muscle. In this paper, we briefly review some of the most outstanding structural and functional attributes of RyRs and their mechanism of regulation. Further, we address pathogenic RyR dysfunction implicated in cardiovascular disease and skeletal myopathies.

Abstract
Previous reports indicate that reactive oxygen species (ROS) may modulate contractility in skeletal muscle. Although Ca(2+)-sensitivity of the contractile apparatus appears to be a primary site of regulation, dihydropyridine receptor (DHPR or L-type Ca(2+) channels) and calcium efflux in isolated sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) vesicles appear to be redox sensitive as well. However, DHPR as a target is poorly understood in intact muscles at body temperature, particularly in the diaphragm, a muscle more dependent on external Ca(2+) than locomotor muscles. Previously, we reported that oxidant challenge via xanthine oxidase (XO) alters the K(+) contractures in diaphragm fiber bundles, suggestive of a role of L-type Ca(2+) channels. Contractility of isolated rat diaphragm fiber bundles revealed a biphasic response to ROS challenge that was dose and time dependent. Potentiation of twitch and low-frequency diaphragm fiber bundle contractility with 0.02 U•ml(-1) XO was reversible or partially preventable with washout, dithiothreitol, and the SOD/catalase mimetic EUK-134. The RyR antagonist ruthenium red inhibited xanthine oxidase-induced potentiation, while the RyR agonist caffeine elevated diaphragm twitch and low-frequency tension in a non-additive manner by 55% when introduced simultaneously with ROS challenge. The DHPR antagonist nitrendipine (15 μM) inhibited elevation in low-frequency diaphragm tension produced by ROS challenge. Caffeine threshold tension curves were shifted to the left with 0.02 U•ml(-1) XO, but this effect was partially reversed with 15 μM nitrendipine. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that DHPR redox state and RyR function are modulated in an interactive manner, affecting contractility in intact diaphragm fiber bundles.

Role of ryanodine receptor subtypes in initiation and formation of calcium sparks in arterial smooth muscle: comparison with striated muscle. J Biomed Biotechnol 2009; 2009:135249.

Abstract
Calcium sparks represent local, rapid, and transient calcium release events from a cluster of ryanodine receptors (RyRs) in the sarcoplasmic reticulum. In arterial smooth muscle cells (SMCs), calcium sparks activate calcium-dependent potassium channels causing decrease in the global intracellular [Ca2+] and oppose vasoconstriction. This is in contrast to cardiac and skeletal muscle, where spatial and temporal summation of calcium sparks leads to global increases in intracellular [Ca2+] and myocyte contraction. We summarize the present data on local RyR calcium signaling in arterial SMCs in comparison to striated muscle and muscle-specific differences in coupling between L-type calcium channels and RyRs. Accordingly, arterial SMC Ca(v)1.2 L-type channels regulate intracellular calcium stores content, which in turn modulates calcium efflux though RyRs. Downregulation of RyR2 up to a certain degree is compensated by increased SR calcium content to normalize calcium sparks. This indirect coupling between Ca(v)1.2 and RyR in arterial SMCs is opposite to striated muscle, where triggering of calcium sparks is controlled by rapid and direct cross-talk between Ca(v)1.1/Ca(v)1.2 L-type channels and RyRs. We discuss the role of RyR isoforms in initiation and formation of calcium sparks in SMCs and their possible molecular binding partners and regulators, which differ compared to striated muscle.

Abstract
Ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are a distinct class of ligand-gated calcium channels controlling the release of calcium from intracellular stores. They are located on the sarcoplasmic reticulum of muscle and the endoplasmic reticulum of neurons and many other cell types. Ryanodine, a plant alkaloid and an important ligand used to characterize and purify the receptor, has served as a natural botanical insecticide, but attempts to generate synthetic commercial analogues of ryanodine have proved unsuccessful. Recently two classes of synthetic chemicals have emerged resulting in commercial insecticides that target insect RyRs. The phthalic acid diamide class has yielded flubendiamide, the first synthetic ryanodine receptor insecticide to be commercialized. Shortly after the discovery of the phthalic diamides, the anthranilic diamides were discovered. This class has produced the insecticides Rynaxypyr and Cyazypyr. Here we review the structure and functions of insect RyRs and address the modes of action of phthalic acid diamides and anthranilic diamides on insect ryanodine receptors. Particularly intersting is the inherent selectivity both chemical classes exhibit for insect RyRs over their mammalian counterparts. The future prospects for RyRs as a commercially-validated target site for insect control chemicals are also considered.

Abstract
In vertebrate cells calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) is thought to be responsible for rapid cytosolic Ca(2+) elevations despite the occurrence of strong Ca(2+) buffering within the cytosol. In Dictyostelium, a CICR mechanism has not been reported. While analyzing Ca(2+) regulation in a vesicular fraction of Dictyostelium rich in Ca(2+)-flux activity, containing contractile vacuoles (CV) as the main component of acidic Ca(2+) stores and ER, we detected a rapid Ca(2+) change upon addition of Ca(2+) (CIC). CIC was three times larger in active stores accumulating Ca(2+) than before Ca(2+) uptake and in inactivated stores. Ca(2+) release was demonstrated with the calmodulin antagonist W7 that inhibits the V-type H(+)ATPase activity and Ca(2+) uptake of acidic Ca(2+) stores. W7 caused a rapid and large increase of extravesicular Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](e)), much faster and larger than thapsigargin (Tg), a Ca(2+)-uptake inhibitor of the ER. W7 treatment blocked CIC indicating that a large part of CIC is due to Ca(2+) release. The height of CIC depended on the filling state of the Ca(2+) stores. CIC was virtually unchanged in the iplA(-) strain that lacks a putative IP(3) or ryanodine receptor thought to be located at the endoplasmic reticulum. By contrast, CIC was reduced in two mutants, HGR8 and lvsA(-), that are impaired in acidic Ca(2+)-store function. Purified Ca(2+) stores enriched in CV still displayed CIC, indicating that CV are a source of Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release. CIC-defective mutants were altered in their oscillatory properties. The irregularity of the HGR8 oscillation suggests that the principal oscillator is affected in this mutant.

Abstract
beta-NAD(+) is as abundant as ATP in neuronal cells. beta-NAD(+) functions not only as a coenzyme but also as a substrate. beta-NAD(+)-utilizing enzymes are involved in signal transduction. We focus on ADP-ribosyl cyclase/CD38 which synthesizes cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR), a universal Ca(2+) mobilizer from intracellular stores, from beta-NAD(+). cADPR acts through activation/modulation of ryanodine receptor Ca(2+) releasing Ca(2+) channels. cADPR synthesis in neuronal cells is stimulated or modulated via different pathways and various factors. Subtype-specific coupling of various neurotransmitter receptors with ADP-ribosyl cyclase confirms the involvement of the enzyme in signal transduction in neurons and glial cells. Moreover, cADPR/CD38 is critical in oxytocin release from the hypothalamic cell dendrites and nerve terminals in the posterior pituitary. Therefore, it is possible that pharmacological manipulation of intracellular cADPR levels through ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity or synthetic cADPR analogues may provide new therapeutic opportunities for treatment of neurodevelopmental disorders.

Abstract
Despite their relevance for neuronal Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release (CICR), activation by Ca(2+) of ryanodine receptor (RyR) channels of brain endoplasmic reticulum at the [ATP], [Mg(2+)], and redox conditions present in neurons has not been reported. Here, we studied the effects of varying cis-(cytoplasmic) free ATP concentration ([ATP]), [Mg(2+)], and RyR redox state on the Ca(2+) dependence of endoplasmic reticulum RyR channels from rat brain cortex. At pCa 4.9 and 0.5 mM adenylylimidodiphosphate (AMP-PNP), increasing free [Mg(2+)] up to 1 mM inhibited vesicular [(3)H]ryanodine binding; incubation with thimerosal or dithiothreitol decreased or enhanced Mg(2+) inhibition, respectively. Single RyR channels incorporated into lipid bilayers displayed three different Ca(2+) dependencies, defined by low, moderate, or high maximal fractional open time (P(o)), that depend on RyR redox state, as we have previously reported. In all cases, cis-ATP addition (3 mM) decreased threshold [Ca(2+)] for activation, increased maximal P(o), and shifted channel inhibition to higher [Ca(2+)]. Conversely, at pCa 4.5 and 3 mM ATP, increasing cis-[Mg(2+)] up to 1 mM inhibited low activity channels more than moderate activity channels but barely modified high activity channels. Addition of 0.5 mM free [ATP] plus 0.8 mM free [Mg(2+)] induced a right shift in Ca(2+) dependence for all channels so that [Ca(2+)] <30 microM activated only high activity channels. These results strongly suggest that channel redox state determines RyR activation by Ca(2+) at physiological [ATP] and [Mg(2+)]. If RyR behave similarly in living neurons, cellular redox state should affect RyR-mediated CICR.

Abstract
The present study was undertaken to elucidate whether cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) mediates the amplification of Ca2+ signaling and catecholamine release via the involvement of FK506-binding proteins (FKBPs)/ryanodine receptor (RyR) in bovine adrenal chromaffin cells. cADPR induced Ca2+ release in digitonin-permeabilized chromaffin cells and this was blocked by FK506 and rapamycin, ligands for FKBPs; 8Br-cADPR, a competitive antagonist for cADPR; and antibody for FKBP12/12.6, while it was enhanced by cyclosporin A. Ryanodine-induced Ca2+ release was not affected by 8Br-cADPR and was remarkably enhanced by FK506, rapamycin, cyclosporin A, and cADPR. FK506 binds to FKBP12.6 and removes it from RyRs, but cADPR did not affect the binding between FKBP12.6 and RyR. In intact chromaffin cells, 8Br-cADPR, FK506, and rapamycin, but not cyclosporin A attenuated the sustained intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) rise induced by acetylcholine (ACh). 8Br-cADPR, FK506, and SK&F 96365 reduced the Mn2+ entry stimulated with ACh only when Ca2+ was present in the extracellular medium. 8Br-cADPR, FK506, and rapamycin concentration-dependently inhibited the ACh-induced catecholamine (CA) release. Here, we present evidence that FKBP12.6 associated with RyR may be required for Ca2+ release induced by cADPR in bovine adrenal chromaffin cells. cADPR-mediated Ca2+ release from endoplasmic reticulum in ACh-stimulated chromaffin cells is coupled with Ca2+ influx through the plasma membrane which is essential for ACh-stimulated CA release.

Abstract
In this study, we have investigated block of potassium (K(+)) current by neomycin, a large polycation, from the luminal face of the type 3 ryanodine receptor (RyR3). Previous studies have shown that neomycin is an open channel blocker of RyR2 that interacts with negatively charged residues in the mouth of the conduction pathway to partially occlude it. In the current study, we have used neomycin as a probe to investigate proposed negatively charged regions in the luminal pore mouth of RyR3. Luminal neomycin induces concentration- and voltage-dependent partial block to a subconductance state in RyR3. Blocking parameters calculated in this study show that neomycin has a higher affinity for RyR3 than RyR2, but block may occur at the same site within the pore mouth. The change in affinity may be due to altered negative charge density at the site of interaction.

Abstract
Ca(2+)-induced Ca2+ release (CICR) occurs in frog motor nerve terminals after ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are primed for activation by conditioning large Ca2+ entry. We studied which type of RyR exists, whether CICR occurs without conditioning Ca2+ entry and how RyRs are primed. Immunohistochemistry revealed the existence of RyR3 in motor nerve terminals and axons and both RyR1 and RyR3 in muscle fibers. A blocker of RyR, 8-(N,N-diethylamino)octyl 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate hydrochloride (TMB-8) slightly decreased rises in intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) induced by a short tetanus (50 Hz, 1-2s), but not after treatment with ryanodine. Repetitive tetani (50 Hz for 15s every 20s) produced repetitive rises in [Ca2+]i, whose amplitude overall waxed and waned. TMB-8 blocked the waxing and waning components. Ryanodine suppressed a slow increase in end-plate potentials (EPPs) induced by stimuli (33.3 Hz, 15s) in a low Ca2+, high Mg2+ solution. KN-62, a blocker of Ca(2+)/calmoduline-activated protein kinase II (CaMKII), slightly reduced short tetanus-induced rises in [Ca2+]i, but markedly the slow waxing and waning rises produced by repetitive tetani in both normal and low Ca2+, high Mg2+ solutions. Likewise, KN-62, but not KN-04, an inactive analog, suppressed slow increases in EPP amplitude and miniature EPP frequency during long tetanus. Thus, CICR normally occurs weakly via RyR3 activation by single impulse-induced Ca2+ entry in frog motor nerve terminals and greatly after the priming of RyR via CaMKII activation by conditioning Ca2+ entry, thus, facilitating transmitter exocytosis and its plasticity.

Abstract
It is generally accepted that the mobilisation of intracellular Ca2+ stores plays a pivotal role in the regulation of arterial smooth muscle function, paradoxically during both contraction and relaxation. However, the spatiotemporal pattern of different Ca2+ signals that elicit such responses may also contribute to the regulation of, for example, differential gene expression. These findings, among others, demonstrate the importance of discrete spatiotemporal Ca2+ signalling patterns and the mechanisms that underpin them. Of fundamental importance in this respect is the realisation that different Ca2+ storing organelles may be selected by the discrete or coordinated actions of multiple Ca2+ mobilising messengers. When considering such messengers, it is generally accepted that sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) stores may be mobilised by the ubiquitous messenger inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate. However, relatively little attention has been paid to the role of Ca2+ mobilising pyridine nucleotides in arterial smooth muscle, namely, cyclic adenosine diphosphate-ribose (cADPR) and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP). This review will therefore focus on these novel mechanisms of calcium signalling and their likely therapeutic potential.

Abstract
We synthesized analogs modified in the ribose unit (ribose linked to N1 of adenine) of cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR), a Ca2+-mobilizing second messenger. The biological activities of these analogs were determined in NG108-15 neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid cells that were pre-loaded with fura-2 acetoxymethylester and subjected to whole-cell patch-clamp. Application of the hydrolysis-resistant cyclic ADP-carbocyclic-ribose (cADPcR) through patch pipettes potentiated elevation of the cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) at the depolarized membrane potential. The increase in [Ca2+]i evoked upon sustained membrane depolarization was significantly larger in cADPcR-infused cells than in non-infused cells and its degree was equivalent to or significantly greater than that induced by cADPR or beta-NAD+. 8-Chloro-cADPcR and two inosine congeners (cyclic IDP-carbocyclic-ribose and 8-bromo-cyclic IDP-carbocyclic-ribose) did not induce effects similar to those of cADPcR or cADPR. Instead, 8-chloro-cADPcR together with cADPR or cADPcR caused inhibition of the depolarization-induced [Ca2+]i increase as compared with either cADPR or cADPcR alone. These results demonstrated that our cADPR analogs have agonistic or antagonistic effects on the depolarization-induced [Ca2+]i increase and suggested the presence of functional reciprocal coupling between ryanodine receptors and voltage-activated Ca2+ channels via cADPR in mammalian neuronal cells.

Abstract
The sarco/endoplasmic reticulum (SR/ER) is the primary storage and release site of intracellular calcium (Ca2+) in many excitable cells. The SR is a tubular network, which in smooth muscle (SM) cells distributes close to cellular periphery (superficial SR) and in deeper aspects of the cell (deep SR). Recent attention has focused on the regulation of cell function by the superficial SR, which can act as a buffer and also as a regulator of membrane channels and transporters. Ca2+ is released from the SR via two types of ionic channels [ryanodine- and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-gated], whereas accumulation from thecytoplasm occurs exclusively by an energy-dependent sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase pump (SERCA). Within the SR, Ca2+ is bound to various storage proteins. Emerging evidence also suggests that the perinuclear portion of the SR may play an important role in nuclear transcription. In this review, we detail the pharmacology of agents that alter the functions of Ca2+ release channels and of SERCA. We describe their use and selectivity and indicate the concentrations used in investigating various SM preparations. Important aspects of cell regulation and excitation-contractile activity coupling in SM have been uncovered through the use of such activators and inhibitors of processes that determine SR function. Likewise, they were instrumental in the recent finding of an interaction of the SR with other cellular organelles such as mitochondria. Thus, an appreciation of the pharmacology and selectivity of agents that interfere with SR function in SM has greatly assisted in unveiling the multifaceted nature of the SR.

Abstract
MagFluo-4 fluorescence (Ca2+) transients associated with action potentials were measured in intact muscle fibres, manually dissected from toads ( Leptodactylus insularis ) or enzymatically dissociated from mice. In toads, the decay phase of the Ca2+ transients is described by a single exponential with a time constant ( tau ) of about 7 ms. In mice, a double exponential function with tau 's of 1.5 and 15.5 ms, respectively gives a better fit. In both species the amplitude of Ca2+ transients diminished during repetitive stimulation: in amphibian muscle fibres, the decrease was about 20% with 1 Hz stimulation and 55% at 10 Hz. In mammalian fibres, repetitive stimulation causes a less conspicuous decrease of the transient amplitude: 10% at 1 Hz and 15% at 10 Hz. During tetanic stimulation at 100 Hz the transient amplitude decays to 20% in toad fibres and 40% in mouse fibres. This decrease could be associated with the phenomenon of inactivation of Ca2+ release, described by other authors. Recovery from inactivation, studied by a double stimuli protocol also indicates that in toad fibres the ability to release Ca2+ is abolished to a greater extent than in mouse fibres. In fact the ratio between the amplitudes of the second and first transient, when they are separated by a 10 ms interval, is 0.29 for toad and 0.58 for mouse fibres. In toad fibres, recovery from inactivation, to about 80 % of the initial value, occurs with a tau of 32 ms at 22 degrees C; while in mouse fibres recovery from inactivation is almost complete and occurs with a tau of 36 ms under the same conditions. The results indicate that Ca2+ release in enzymatically dissociated mammalian muscle fibres inactivates to a smaller extent than in intact amphibian muscle fibres.

Abstract
Cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose (cADPR) is a naturally occurring cyclic nucleotide and represents a novel class of endogenous Ca(2+) messengers implicated in the regulation of the gating properties of ryanodine receptors (RyRs). This action of cADPR occurs independently from the inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) receptor. The regulation of intracellular Ca(2+) release is a fundamental element of cellular Ca(2+) homeostasis since a number of smooth muscle functions (tone, proliferation, apoptosis, and gene expression) are modulated by intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)). There has been a surge in the efforts aimed at understanding the mechanisms of cADPR-mediated Ca(2+) mobilization and its impact on smooth muscle function. This review summarizes the proposed roles of cADPR in the regulation of smooth muscle tone.

Abstract
To better understand the role of the transient expression of ryanodine receptor (RyR) type 3 (RyR3) on Ca(2+) homeostasis during the development of skeletal muscle, we have analyzed the effect of expression levels of RyR3 and RyR1 on the overall physiology of cultured myotubes and muscle fibers. Dyspedic myotubes were infected with RyR1 or RyR3 containing virions at 0.2, 0.4, 1.0, and 4.0 moieties of infection (MOI), and analysis of their pattern of expression, caffeine sensitivity, and resting free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](r)) was performed. Although increased MOI resulted in increased expression of each receptor isoform, it did not significantly affect the immunopattern of RyRs or the expression levels of calsequestrin, triadin, or FKBP-12. Interestingly, myotubes expressing RyR3 always had significantly higher [Ca(2+)](r) and lower caffeine EC(50) than did cells expressing RyR1. Although some of the increased sensitivity of RyR3 to caffeine could be attributed to the higher [Ca(2+)](r) in RyR3-expressing cells, studies of [(3)H]ryanodine binding demonstrated intrinsic differences in caffeine sensitivity between RyR1 and RyR3. Tibialis anterior (TA) muscle fibers at different stages of postnatal development exhibited a transient increase in [Ca(2+)](r) coordinately with their level of RyR3 expression. Similarly, adult soleus fibers, which also express RyR3, had higher [Ca(2+)](r) than did adult TA fibers, which exclusively express RyR1. These data show that in skeletal muscle, RyR3 increases [Ca(2+)](r) more than RyR1 does at any expression level. These data suggest that the coexpression of RyR1 and RyR3 at different levels may constitute a novel mechanism by which to regulate [Ca(2+)](r) in skeletal muscle.

Abstract
This commentary presents the proceedings of the symposium sponsored by Cardiovascular Section of American Physiological Society in San Diego, CA on 12 April 2003. The major focus of this symposium was on the actions and physiological relevance of several novel Ca2+ signalling mechanisms in vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cells. Five important topics were presented in this symposium including the discovery and roles of cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) in mediating Ca2+ release, Ca2+ sparks and activation of plasma membrane KCa channels in VSM cells, the role of cADPR-mediated activation of ryanodine receptors in the control of vascular tone, the role of [Ca2+]i in mechanotransduction in the arterioles, and interactions of mitochondrial Ca2+ release and SR Ca2+ mobilization. The purpose of this symposium was to promote discussions and exchange of ideas between scientists with interests in Ca2+ signalling mechanisms and those with interests in vascular physiology and pharmacology. The cross-fertilization of ideas is expected to greatly advance our understanding of the physiological and pharmacological relevance of these new Ca2+ signalling mechanisms.

Abstract
Molecular determinants essential for skeletal-type excitation-contraction (EC) coupling have been described in the cytosolic loops of the dihydropyridine receptor (DHPR) alpha1S pore subunit and in the carboxyl terminus of the skeletal-specific DHPR beta1a-subunit. It is unknown whether EC coupling domains present in the beta-subunit influence those present in the pore subunit or if they act independent of each other. To address this question, we investigated the EC coupling signal that is generated when the endogenous DHPR pore subunit alpha1S is paired with the heterologous heart/brain DHPR beta2a-subunit. Studies were conducted in primary cultured myotubes from beta1 knockout (KO), ryanodine receptor type 1 (RyR1) KO, ryanodine receptor type 3 (RyR3) KO, and double RyR1/RyR3 KO mice under voltage clamp with simultaneous monitoring of confocal fluo-4 fluorescence. The beta2a-mediated Ca2+ current recovered in beta1 KO myotubes lacking the endogenous DHPR beta1a-subunit verified formation of the alpha1S/beta1a pair. In myotube genotypes which express no or low-density L-type Ca2+ currents, namely beta1 KO and RyR1 KO, beta2a overexpression recovered a wild-type density of nifedipine-sensitive Ca2+ currents with a slow activation kinetics typical of skeletal myotubes. Concurrent with Ca2+ current recovery, there was a drastic reduction of voltage-dependent, skeletal-type EC coupling and emergence of Ca2+ transients triggered by the Ca2+ current. A comparison of beta2a overexpression in RyR3 KO, RyR1 KO, and double RyR1/RyR3 KO myotubes concluded that both RyR1 and RyR3 isoforms participated in Ca2+-dependent Ca2+ release triggered by the beta2a-subunit. In beta1 KO and RyR1 KO myotubes, the Ca2+-dependent EC coupling promoted by beta2a overexpression had the following characteristics: 1), L-type Ca2+ currents had a wild-type density; 2), Ca2+ transients activated much slower than controls overexpressing beta1a, and the rate of fluorescence increase was consistent with the activation kinetics of the Ca2+ current; 3), the voltage dependence of the Ca2+ transient was bell-shaped and the maximum was centered at approximately +30 mV, consistent with the voltage dependence of the Ca2+ current; and 4), Ca2+ currents and Ca2+ transients were fully blocked by nifedipine. The loss in voltage-dependent EC coupling promoted by beta2a was inferred by the drastic reduction in maximal Ca2+ fluorescence at large positive potentials (DeltaF/Fmax) in double dysgenic/beta1 KO myotubes overexpressing the pore mutant alpha1S (E1014K) and beta2a. The data indicate that beta2a, upon interaction with the skeletal pore subunit alpha1S, overrides critical EC coupling determinants present in alpha1S. We propose that the alpha1S/beta pair, and not the alpha1S-subunit alone, controls the EC coupling signal in skeletal muscle.

Abstract
An impressive array of cytosolic calcium ([Ca2+](i)) signals exert control over a broad range of physiological processes. The specificity and fidelity of these [Ca2+](i) signals is encoded by the frequency, amplitude, and sub-cellular localization of the response. It is believed that the distinct characteristics of [Ca2+](i) signals underlies the differential activation of effectors and ultimately cellular events. This "shaping" of [Ca2+](i) signals can be achieved by the influence of additional signaling pathways modulating the molecular machinery responsible for generating [Ca2+](i) signals. There is a particularly rich source of potential sites of crosstalk between the cAMP and the [Ca2+](i) signaling pathways. This review will focus on the predominant molecular loci at which these classical signaling systems interact to impact the spatio-temporal pattern of [Ca2+](i) signaling in non-excitable cells.

Abstract
We examined capacitative calcium entry (CCE) in Jurkat and in L6 skeletal muscle cells. We found that extracellular Ca2+ can enter the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of both cell types even in the presence of thapsigargin, which blocks entry into the ER from the cytosol through the CaATPase. Moreover, extracellular Ca2+ entry into the ER was evident even when intracellular flow of Ca2+ was in the direction of ER to cytosol due to the presence of caffeine. ER Ca2+ content was assessed by two separate means. First, we used the Mag-Fura fluorescent dye, which is sensitive only to the relatively high concentrations of Ca2+ found in the ER. Second, we transiently expressed an ER-targeted derivative of aequorin, which reports Ca2+ by luminescence. In both cases, the Ca2+ concentration in the ER increased in response to extracellular Ca2+ after the ER had been previously depleted despite blockade by thapsigargin. We found two differences between the Jurkat and L6 cells. L6, but not Jurkat cells, inhibited Ca2+ uptake at very high Ca2+ concentrations. Second, ryanodine receptor blockers inhibited the appearance of cytosolic Ca2+ during CCE if added before Ca2+ in both cases, but the L6 cells were much more sensitive to ryanodine. Both of these can be explained by the known difference in ryanodine receptors between these cell types. These findings imply that the origin of cytosolic Ca2+ during CCE is the ER. Furthermore, kinetic data demonstrated that Ca2+ filled the ER before the cytosol during CCE. Our results suggest a plasma membrane Ca2+ channel and an ER Ca2+ channel joined in tandem, allowing Ca2+ to flow directly from the extracellular space to the ER. This explains CCE; any decrease in ER [Ca2+] relative to extracellular [Ca2+] would provide the gradient for refilling the ER through a mass-action mechanism.

Abstract
Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release (CICR) mediated by sarcoplasmic reticulum resident ryanodine receptors (RyRs) has been well described in cardiac, skeletal and smooth muscle. In brain, RyRs are localised primarily to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and have been demonstrated in postsynaptic entities, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes where they regulate intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)), membrane potential and the activity of a variety of second messenger systems. Recently, the contribution of presynaptic RyRs and CICR to functions of central and peripheral presynaptic terminals, including neurotransmitter release, has received increased attention. However, there is no general agreement that RyRs are localised to presynaptic terminals, nor is it clear that RyRs regulate a large enough pool of intracellular Ca(2+) to be physiologically significant. Here, we review direct and indirect evidence that on balance favours the notion that ER and RyRs are found in presynaptic terminals and are physiologically significant. In so doing, it became obvious that some of the controversy originates from issues related to (i) the ability to demonstrate conclusively the physical presence of ER and RyRs, (ii) whether the biophysical properties of RyRs are such that they can contribute physiologically to regulation of presynaptic [Ca(2+)](i), (iii) how ER Ca(2+) load and feedback gain of CICR contributes to the ability to detect functionally relevant RyRs, (iv) the distance that Ca(2+) diffuses from plasma membranes to RyRs to trigger CICR and from RyRs to the Active Zone to enhance vesicle release, and (v) the experimental conditions used. The recognition that ER Ca(2+) stores are able to modulate local Ca(2+) levels and neurotransmitter release in presynaptic terminals will aid in the understanding of the cellular mechanisms controlling neuronal function.

Abstract
The discovery of cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose (cADPR) and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) as Ca(2+) releasing messengers has provided additional insight into how complex Ca(2+) signalling patterns are generated. There is mounting evidence that these molecules along with the more established messenger, myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)), have a widespread messenger role in shaping Ca(2+) signals in many cell types. These molecules have distinct structures and act on specific Ca(2+) release mechanisms. Emerging principles are that cADPR enhances the Ca(2+) sensitivity of ryanodine receptors (RYRs) to produce prolonged Ca(2+) signals through Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release (CICR), while NAADP acts on a novel Ca(2+) release mechanism to produce a local trigger Ca(2+) signal which can be amplified by CICR by recruiting other Ca(2+) release mechanisms. Whilst IP(3) and cADPR mobilise Ca(2+) from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), recent evidence from the sea urchin egg suggests that the major NAADP-sensitive Ca(2+) stores are reserve granules, acidic lysosomal-related organelles. In this review we summarise the role of multiple Ca(2+) mobilising messengers, Ca(2+) release channels and Ca(2+) stores, and the interplay between them, in the generation of specific Ca(2+) signals. Focusing upon cADPR and NAADP, we discuss how cellular stimuli may draw upon different combinations of these messengers to produce distinct Ca(2+) signalling signatures.

Abstract
The family of ryanodine receptor (RyR) genes encodes three highly related Ca(2+)-release channels: RyR1, RyR2 and RyR3. RyRs are known as the Ca(2+)-release channels that participate to the mechanism of excitation-contraction coupling in striated muscles, but they are also expressed in many other cell types. Actually, in several cells two or three RyR isoforms can be co-expressed and interactive feedbacks among them may be important for generation of intracellular Ca(2+) signals and regulation of specific cellular functions. Important developments have been obtained in understanding the biochemical complexity underlying the process of Ca(2+) release through RyRs. The 3-D structure of these large molecules has been obtained and some regulatory regions have been mapped within these 3-D reconstructions. Recent studies have clarified the role of protein kinases and phosphatases that, by physically interacting with RyRs, appear to play a role in the regulation of these Ca(2+)-release channels. These and other recent advancements in understanding RyR biology will be the object of this review.

Abstract
Cytosolic Ca(2+) (Ca(i)(2+)) regulates secretion of bicarbonate and other ions in the cholangiocyte. In other cell types, this second messenger acts through Ca(2+) waves, Ca(2+) oscillations, and other subcellular Ca(2+) signaling patterns, but little is known about the subcellular organization of Ca(2+) signaling in cholangiocytes. Therefore, we examined Ca(2+) signaling and the subcellular distribution of Ca(2+) release channels in cholangiocytes and in a model cholangiocyte cell line. The expression and subcellular distribution of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP(3)) receptor (InsP(3)R) isoforms and the ryanodine receptor (RyR) were determined in cholangiocytes from normal rat liver and in the normal rat cholangiocyte (NRC) polarized bile duct cell line. Subcellular Ca(2+) signaling in cholangiocytes was examined by confocal microscopy. All 3 InsP(3)R isoforms were expressed in cholangiocytes, whereas RyR was not expressed. The type III InsP(3)R was the most heavily expressed isoform at the protein level and was concentrated apically, whereas the type I and type II isoforms were expressed more uniformly. The type III InsP(3)R was expressed even more heavily in NRC cells but was concentrated apically in these cells as well. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which increases Ca(2+) via InsP(3) in cholangiocytes, induced Ca(2+) oscillations in both cholangiocytes and NRC cells. Acetylcholine (ACh) induced apical-to-basal Ca(2+) waves. In conclusion, Ca(2+) signaling in cholangiocytes occurs as polarized Ca(2+) waves that begin in the region of the type III InsP(3)R. Differential subcellular localization of InsP(3)R isoforms may be an important molecular mechanism for the formation of Ca(2+) waves and oscillations in cholangiocytes. Because Ca(i)(2+) is in part responsible for regulating ductular secretion, these findings also may have implications for the molecular basis of cholestatic disorders.

Abstract
In voltage-clamped guinea-pig chromaffin cells, muscarine (50 microM) or caffeine (30 mM) produced a transient intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) increase, catecholamine release and an outward K(+) current mediated through Ca(2+) released from internal Ca(2+) stores at a holding potential of -40 mV. Caffeine followed by muscarine failed to evoke these responses, while muscarine followed by caffeine was effective in producing about 30% of [Ca(2+)](i) increase and catecholamine secretion. In cells dialyzed with inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)), caffeine failed to produce the [Ca(2+)](i) increase. Intracellular application of cyclic adenosine 5'-diphosphate-ribose (cADP-ribose) or 8-bromo cADP-ribose exerted no effect on the resting [Ca(2+)](i) and the caffeine-induced [Ca(2+)](i) increase. These results suggest that IP(3)-sensitive stores are functionally divided into two subpopulations, sensitive and insensitive to caffeine, and it is unlikely that cADP-ribose plays a role as a Ca(2+) releaser in guinea-pig adrenal chromaffin cells.

Abstract
LTRPC2 is a cation channel recently reported to be activated by adenosine diphosphate-ribose (ADP-ribose) and NAD. Since ADP-ribose can be formed from NAD and NAD is elevated during oxidative stress, we studied whole cell currents and increases in the intercellular free calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) in long transient receptor potential channel 2 (LTRPC2)-transfected HEK 293 cells after stimulation with hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)). Cation currents carried by monovalent cations and Ca(2+) were induced by H(2)O(2) (5 mm in the bath solution) as well as by intracellular ADP-ribose (0.3 mm in the pipette solution) but not by NAD (1 mm). H(2)O(2)-induced currents developed slowly after a characteristic delay of 3-6 min and receded after wash-out of H(2)O(2). [Ca(2+)](i) was rapidly increased by H(2)O(2) in LTRPC2-transfected cells as well as in control cells; however, in LTRPC2-transfected cells, H(2)O(2) evoked a second delayed rise in [Ca(2+)](i). A splice variant of LTRPC2 with a deletion in the C terminus (amino acids 1292-1325) was identified in neutrophil granulocytes. This variant was stimulated by H(2)O(2) as the wild type. However, it did not respond to ADP-ribose. We conclude that activation of LTRPC2 by H(2)O(2) is independent of ADP-ribose and that LTRPC2 may mediate the influx of Na(+) and Ca(2+) during oxidative stress, such as the respiratory burst in granulocytes.

Abstract
Ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are expressed on the endoplasmic reticulum of many cells, where they form intracellular Ca2+-release channels that participate in the generation of intracellular Ca2+ signals. Here we report studies on the intracellular localisation and functional properties of transfected RyR1 or RyR3 channels in HEK 293 cells. Immunofluorescence studies indicated that both RyR1 and RyR3 did not form clusters but were homogeneously distributed throughout the endoplasmic reticulum. Ca2+ release experiments showed that transfected RyR1 and RyR3 channels responded to caffeine, although with different sensitivity, generating a global release of Ca2+ from the entire endoplasmic reticulum. However, video imaging and confocal microscopy analysis revealed that, in RyR3-expressing cells, local spontaneous Ca2+ release events were observed. No such spontaneous activity was observed in RyR1-expressing cells or in control cells. Interestingly, the spontaneous release events observed in RyR3-expressing cells were restricted to one or two regions of the endoplasmic reticulum, suggesting the formation of a further subcellular organisation of RyR3 in Ca2+ release units. These results demonstrate that different RyR isoforms can engage in the generation of distinct intracellular Ca2+ signals in HEK 293 cells.

Abstract
Ca2+ transport was investigated in vesicles of sarcoplasmic reticulum subfractionated from bovine main pulmonary artery and porcine gastric antrum using digitonin binding and zonal density gradient centrifugation. Gradient fractions recovered at 15-33% sucrose were studied as the sarcoplasmic reticulum component using Fluo-3 fluorescence or 45Ca2+ Millipore filtration. Thapsigargin blocked active Ca2+ uptake and induced a slow Ca2+ release from actively loaded vesicles. Unidirectional 45Ca2+ efflux from passively loaded vesicles showed multicompartmental kinetics. The time course of an initial fast component could not be quantitatively measured with the sampling method. The slow release had a half-time of several minutes. Both components were inhibited by 20 microM ruthenium red and 10 mM Mg2+. Caffeine, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, ATP, and diltiazem accelerated the slow component. A Ca2+ release component activated by ryanodine or cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose was resolved with Fluo-3. Comparison of tissue responses showed that the fast Ca2+ release was significantly smaller and more sensitive to inhibition by Mg2+ and ruthenium red in arterial vesicles. They released more Ca2+ in response to inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and were more sensitive to activation by cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose. Ryanodine and caffeine, in contrast, were more effective in gastric antrum. In each tissue, the fraction of the Ca2+ store released by sequential application of caffeine and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate depended on the order applied and was additive. The results indicate that sarcoplasmic reticulum purified from arterial and gastric smooth muscle represents vesicle subpopulations that retain functional Ca2+ channels that reflect tissue-specific pharmacological modulation. The relationship of these differences to physiological responses has not been determined.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Ca2+ regulates cell functions through signaling patterns such as Ca2+ oscillations and Ca2+ waves. The type I inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor is thought to support Ca2+ oscillations, whereas the type III inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor is thought to initiate Ca2+ waves. The role of the type II inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor is less clear, because it behaves like the type III inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor at the single-channel level but can support Ca2+ oscillations in intact cells. Because the type II inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor is the predominant isoform in liver, we examined whether this isoform can trigger Ca2+ waves in hepatocytes. METHODS The expression and distribution of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor isoforms was examined in rat liver by immunoblot and confocal immunofluorescence. The effects of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate on Ca2+ signaling were examined in isolated rat hepatocyte couplets by using flash photolysis and time-lapse confocal microscopy. RESULTS The type II inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor was concentrated near the canalicular pole in hepatocytes, whereas the type I inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor was found elsewhere. Stimulation of hepatocytes with vasopressin or directly with inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate induced Ca2+ waves that began in the canalicular region and then spread to the rest of the cell. Inositol 1,4,5-Trisphosphate-induced Ca2+ signals also increased more rapidly in the canalicular region. Hepatocytes did not express the ryanodine receptor, and cyclic adenosine diphosphate-ribose had no effect on Ca2+ signaling in these cells. CONCLUSIONS The type II inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor establishes a pericanalicular trigger zone from which Ca2+ waves originate in hepatocytes.

Abstract
Unfertilized eggs of sea urchins (Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus) demonstrated cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR)-induced Ca(2+) release and caffeine-induced Ca(2+) release, both of which were considered to be mediated through the ryanodine receptor (RyR). We cloned cDNAs for sea urchin egg RyR (suRyR), which encode a 597-kDa protein of 5,317 amino acids. suRyR shares common structural features with known RyRs: the well-conserved COOH-terminal domain, which forms a functional Ca(2+) channel, and a large hydrophilic NH2-terminal domain. suRyR shows amino acid sequence identity (43-45%) similar to the three mammalian RyR isoforms. Phylogenetic analysis indicates that suRyR branched from three isoforms of vertebrates before they diverged, suggesting that suRyR may be the only RyR isoform in the sea urchin. Four in-frame insertions were found in suRyR cDNAs, one of which was novel and unique, in that it had a cluster of serine residues. The transcripts with and without these insertions were found in the egg RNA. These results suggest that suRyR may be expressed as a functional Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release channel, which might also be involved in cADPR-induced Ca(2+) release.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) receptor (InsP3R) and the ryanodine receptor (RyR) are the principal Ca2+-release channels in cells and are believed to serve distinct roles in cytosolic Ca2+ (Ca(i)2+) signaling. This study investigated whether these receptors instead can release Ca2+ in a coordinated fashion. METHODS Apical and basolateral Ca(i)2+ signals were monitored in rat pancreatic acinar cells by time-lapse confocal microscopy. Caged forms of second messengers were microinjected into individual cells and then photoreleased in a controlled fashion by either UV or 2-photon flash photolysis. RESULTS InsP3 increased Ca(i)2+ primarily in the apical region of pancreatic acinar cells, whereas the RyR agonist cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose (cADPR) increased Ca(i)2+ primarily in the basolateral region. Apical-to-basal Ca(i)2+ waves were induced by acetylcholine and initiation of these waves was blocked by the InsP3R inhibitor heparin, whereas propagation into the basolateral region was inhibited by the cADPR inhibitor 8-amino-cADPR. To examine integration of apical and basolateral Ca(i)2+ signals, Ca2+ was selectively released either apically or basolaterally using 2-photon flash photolysis. Ca(i)2+ increases were transient and localized in unstimulated cells. More complex Ca(i)2+ signaling patterns, including polarized Ca(i)2+ waves, were observed when Ca2+ was photoreleased in cells stimulated with subthreshold concentrations of acetylcholine. CONCLUSIONS Polarized Ca(i)2+ waves are induced in acinar cells by serial activation of apical InsP3Rs and then basolateral RyRs, and subcellular release of Ca2+ coordinates the actions of these 2 types of Ca2+ channels. This subcellular integration of Ca2+-release channels shows a new level of complexity in the formation of Ca(i)2+ waves.

Abstract
Subtype 3 of the ryanodine receptor (RYR3) is a ubiquitous Ca2+ release channel which is predominantly expressed in smooth muscle tissues and certain regions of the brain. We show by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) that non-pregnant mouse myometrial cells expressed only RYR3 and therefore could be a good model for studying the role of endogenous RYR3. Expression of RYR3 was confirmed by Western blotting and immunostaining. Confocal Ca2+ measurements revealed that in 1.7 mM extracellular Ca2+, neither caffeine nor photolysis of caged Ca2+ were able to trigger any Ca2+ responses, whereas in the same cells oxytocin activated propagated Ca2+ waves. However, under conditions of increased sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ loading, brought about by superfusing myometrial cells in 10 mM extracellular Ca2+, all the myometrial cells responded to caffeine and photolysis of caged Ca2+, indicating that it was possible to activate RYR3. The caffeine-induced Ca2+ responses were inhibited by intracellular application of an anti-RYR3-specific antibody. Immunodetection of RYR3 with the same antibody revealed a rather homogeneous distribution of fluorescence in confocal cell sections. In agreement with these observations, spontaneous or triggered Ca2+ sparks were not detected. In conclusion, our results suggest that under conditions of increased SR Ca2+ loading, endogenous RYR3 may contribute to the Ca2+ responses of myometrial cells.

Abstract
Members of both major families of intracellular Ca(2+) channels, ryanodine and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptors, are stimulated by substantial increases in cytosolic free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)]c). They thereby mediate Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release (CICR), which allows amplification and regenerative propagation of intracellular Ca(2+) signals. In permeabilized hepatocytes, increasing [Ca(2+)]c to 10 microM stimulated release of 30+/-1% of the intracellular stores within 60 s; the EC(50) occurred with a free [Ca(2+)] of 170+/-29 nM. This CICR was abolished at 2 degrees C. The same fraction of the stores was released by CICR before and after depletion of the IP3-sensitive stores, and CICR was not blocked by antagonists of IP3 receptors. Ryanodine, Ruthenium Red and tetracaine affected neither the Ca(2+) content of the stores nor the CICR response. Sr(2+) and Ba(2+) (EC(50)=166 nM and 28 microM respectively) mimicked the effects of increased [Ca(2+)] on the intracellular stores, but Ni(2+) blocked the passive leak of Ca(2+) without blocking CICR. In rapid superfusion experiments, maximal concentrations of IP3 or Ca(2+) stimulated Ca(2+) release within 80 ms. The response to IP3 was complete within 2 s, but CICR continued for tens of seconds despite a slow [half-time (t(1/2))=3.54+/-0.07 s] partial inactivation. CICR reversed rapidly (t(1/2)=529+/-17 ms) and completely when the [Ca(2+)] was reduced. We conclude that hepatocytes express a novel temperature-sensitive, ATP-independent CICR mechanism that is reversibly activated by modest increases in [Ca(2+)], and does not require IP3 or ryanodine receptors or reversal of the sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic-reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase. This mechanism may both regulate the Ca(2+) content of the intracellular stores of unstimulated cells and allow even small intracellular Ca(2+) signals to be amplified by CICR.

Abstract
cADP-ribose (cADPR) is a novel cyclic nucleotide derived from NAD(+) that has now been established as a general Ca(2+) messenger in a wide variety of cells. Despite the obvious importance of monitoring its cellular levels under various physiological conditions, its measurement has been technically difficult and requires specialized reagents. In this study a widely applicable high-sensitivity assay for cADPR is described. ADP-ribosyl cyclase normally catalyses the synthesis of cADPR from NAD(+), but the reaction can be reversed in the presence of high concentrations of nicotinamide, producing NAD(+) from cADPR stoichiometrically. The resultant NAD(+) can then be coupled to a cycling assay involving alcohol dehydrogenase and diaphorase. Each time NAD(+) cycles through these coupled reactions, a molecule of highly fluorescent resorufin is generated. The reaction can be conducted for hours, resulting in more than a thousand-fold amplification of cADPR. Concentrations of cADPR in the nanomolar range can be measured routinely. The unique ability of ADP-ribosyl cyclase to catalyse the reverse reaction provides the required specificity. Using this assay, it is demonstrated that cADPR is present in all tissues tested and that the levels measured are directly comparable with those obtained using a radioimmunoassay. All the necessary reagents are widely available and the assay can be performed using a multiwell fluorescence plate reader, providing a high-throughput method for monitoring cADPR levels. This assay should be valuable in elucidating the messenger role of cADPR in cells.

Abstract
Acetylcholine-evoked secretion from the parotid gland is substantially potentiated by cAMP-raising agonists. A potential locus for the action of cAMP is the intracellular signaling pathway resulting in elevated cytosolic calcium levels ([Ca(2+)](i)). This hypothesis was tested in mouse parotid acinar cells. Forskolin dramatically potentiated the carbachol-evoked increase in [Ca(2+)](i), converted oscillatory [Ca(2+)](i) changes into a sustained [Ca(2+)](i) increase, and caused subthreshold concentrations of carbachol to increase [Ca(2+)](i) measurably. This potentiation was found to be independent of Ca(2+) entry and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP(3)) production, suggesting that cAMP-mediated effects on Ca(2+) release was the major underlying mechanism. Consistent with this hypothesis, dibutyryl cAMP dramatically potentiated InsP(3)-evoked Ca(2+) release from streptolysin-O-permeabilized cells. Furthermore, type II InsP(3) receptors (InsP(3)R) were shown to be directly phosphorylated by a protein kinase A (PKA)-mediated mechanism after treatment with forskolin. In contrast, no evidence was obtained to support direct PKA-mediated activation of ryanodine receptors (RyRs). However, inhibition of RyRs in intact cells, demonstrated a role for RyRs in propagating Ca(2+) oscillations and amplifying potentiated Ca(2+) release from InsP(3)Rs. These data indicate that potentiation of Ca(2+) release is primarily the result of PKA-mediated phosphorylation of InsP(3)Rs, and may largely explain the synergistic relationship between cAMP-raising agonists and acetylcholine-evoked secretion in the parotid. In addition, this report supports the emerging consensus that phosphorylation at the level of the Ca(2+) release machinery is a broadly important mechanism by which cells can regulate Ca(2+)-mediated processes.

Abstract
In this investigation we use a "dyspedic" myogenic cell line, which does not express any ryanodine receptor (RyR) isoform, to examine the local Ca(2+) release behavior of RyR3 and RyR1 in a homologous cellular system. Expression of RyR3 restored caffeine-sensitive, global Ca(2+) release and causes the appearance of relatively frequent, spontaneous, spatially localized elevations of [Ca(2+)], as well as occasional spontaneous, propagating Ca(2+) release, in both intact and saponin-permeabilized myotubes. Intact myotubes expressing RyR3 did not, however, respond to K(+) depolarization. Expression of RyR1 restored depolarization-induced global Ca(2+) release in intact myotubes and caffeine-induced global release in both intact and permeabilized myotubes. Both intact and permeabilized RyR1-expressing myotubes exhibited relatively infrequent spontaneous Ca(2+) release events. In intact myotubes, the frequency of occurrence and properties of these RyR1-induced events were not altered by partial K(+) depolarization or by application of nifedipine, suggesting that these RyR1 events are independent of the voltage sensor. The events seen in RyR1-expressing myotubes were spatially more extensive than those seen in RyR3-expressing myotubes; however, when analysis was limited to spatially restricted "Ca(2+) spark"-like events, events in RyR3-expressing myotubes were larger in amplitude and duration compared with those in RyR1. Thus, in this skeletal muscle context, differences exist in the spatiotemporal properties and frequency of occurrence of spontaneous release events generated by RyR1 and RyR3. These differences underscore functional differences between the Ca(2+) release behavior of RyR1 and RyR3 in this homologous expression system.
