Abstract
In atrial-derived HL-1 cells, ryanodine receptor and Na(+)/Ca(2+)-exchanger were altered early by 5 μM doxorubicin. The observed effects were an increase of cytosolic Ca(2+) at rest, ensuing ryanodine receptor phosphorylation, and the slowing of Ca(2+) transient decay after caffeine addition. Doxorubicin triggered a linear rise of reactive oxygen species (ROS) with no early effect on mitochondrial inner membrane potential. Doxorubicin and ROS were both detected in mitochondria by colocalization with fluorescence probes and doxorubicin-induced ROS was totally blocked by mitoTEMPO. The NADPH oxidase activity in the mitochondrial fraction was sensitive to inhibition by GKT137831, and doxorubicin-induced ROS decreased gradually as the GKT137831 concentration added in preincubation was increased. When doxorubicin-induced ROS was prevented by GKT137831, the kinetic response revealed a permanent degree of protection that was consistent with mitochondrial NADPH oxidase inhibition. In contrast, the ROS induction by doxorubicin after melatonin preincubation was totally eliminated at first but the effect was completely reversed with time. Limiting the source of ROS production is a better alternative for dealing with oxidative damage than using ROS scavengers. The short-term effect of doxorubicin on Ca(2+) transporters involved in myocardiac contractility was dependent on oxidative damage, and so the impairment was subsequent to ROS production.

Abstract
The important regulator of cardiac function, cAMP, is hydrolyzed by different cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs), whose expression and activity are not uniform throughout the heart. Of these enzymes, PDE2 shapes β1 adrenoceptor-dependent cardiac cAMP signaling, both in the right and left ventricular myocardium, but its role in regulating β2 adrenoceptor-mediated responses is less well known. Our aim was to investigate possible differences in PDE2 transcription and activity between right (RV) and left (LV) rat ventricular myocardium, as well as its role in regulating β2 adrenoceptor effects. The free walls of the RV and the LV were obtained from Sprague-Dawley rat hearts. Relative mRNA for PDE2 (quantified by qPCR) and PDE2 activity (evaluated by a colorimetric procedure and using the PDE2 inhibitor EHNA) were determined in RV and LV. Also, β2 adrenoceptor-mediated effects (β2-adrenoceptor agonist salbutamol + β1 adrenoceptor antagonist CGP-20712A) on contractility and cAMP concentrations, in the absence or presence of EHNA, were studied in the RV and LV. PDE2 transcript levels were less abundant in RV than in LV and the contribution of PDE2 to the total PDE activity was around 25% lower in the microsomal fraction of the RV compared with the LV. β2 adrenoceptor activation increased inotropy and cAMP levels in the LV when measured in the presence of EHNA, but no such effects were observed in the RV, either in the presence or absence of EHNA. These results indicate interventricular differences in PDE2 transcript and activity levels, which may distinctly regulate β2 adrenoceptor-mediated contractility and cAMP concentrations in the RV and in the LV of the rat heart.

Abstract
Dimethyl-celecoxib is a celecoxib analog that lacks the capacity as cyclo-oxygenase-2 inhibitor and therefore the life-threatening effects but retains the antineoplastic properties. The action mechanism at the molecular level is unclear. Our in vitro assays using a sarcoplasmic reticulum preparation from rabbit skeletal muscle demonstrate that dimethyl-celecoxib inhibits Ca2+-ATPase activity and ATP-dependent Ca2+ transport in a concentration-dependent manner. Celecoxib was a more potent inhibitor of Ca2+-ATPase activity than dimethyl-celecoxib, as deduced from the half-maximum effect but dimethyl-celecoxib exhibited higher inhibition potency when Ca2+ transport was evaluated. Since Ca2+ transport was more sensitive to inhibition than Ca2+-ATPase activity the drugs under study caused Ca2+/Pi uncoupling. Dimethyl-celecoxib provoked greater uncoupling and the effect was dependent on drug concentration but independent of Ca2+-pump functioning. Dimethyl-celecoxib prevented Ca2+ binding by stabilizing the inactive Ca2+-free conformation of the pump. The effect on the kinetics of phosphoenzyme accumulation and the dependence of the phosphoenzyme level on dimethyl-celecoxib concentration were independent of whether or not the Ca2+–pump was exposed to the drug in the presence of Ca2+ before phosphorylation. This provided evidence of non-preferential interaction with the Ca2+-free conformation. Likewise, the decreased phosphoenzyme level in the presence of dimethyl-celecoxib that was partially relieved by increasing Ca2+ was consistent with the mentioned effect on Ca2+ binding. The kinetics of phosphoenzyme decomposition under turnover conditions was not altered by dimethyl-celecoxib. The dual effect of the drug involves Ca2+-pump inhibition and membrane permeabilization activity. The reported data can explain the cytotoxic and anti-proliferative effects that have been attributed to the celecoxib analog. Ligand docking simulation predicts interaction of celecoxib and dimethyl-celecoxib with the intracellular Ca2+ transporter at the inhibition site of hydroquinones.

Abstract
The use of a microsomal preparation from skeletal muscle revealed that both Ca(2+) transport and Ca(2+)-dependent ATP hydrolysis linked to Sarco-Endoplasmic Reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase are inhibited by epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). A half-maximal effect was achieved at approx. 12 μM. The presence of the galloyl group was essential for the inhibitory effect of the catechin. The relative inhibition of the Ca(2+)-ATPase activity decreased when the Ca(2+) concentration was raised but not when the ATP concentration was elevated. Data on the catalytic cycle indicated inhibition of maximal Ca(2+) binding and a decrease in Ca(2+) binding affinity when measured in the absence of ATP. Moreover, the addition of ATP to samples in the presence of EGCG and Ca(2+) led to an early increase in phosphoenzyme followed by a time-dependent decay that was faster when the drug concentration was raised. However, phosphorylation following the addition of ATP plus Ca(2+) led to a slow rate of phosphoenzyme accumulation that was also dependent on EGCG concentration. The results are consistent with retention of the transporter conformation in the Ca(2+)-free state, thus impeding Ca(2+) binding and therefore the subsequent steps when ATP is added to trigger the Ca(2+) transport process. Furthermore, phosphorylation by inorganic phosphate in the absence of Ca(2+) was partially inhibited by EGCG, suggesting alteration of the native Ca(2+)-free conformation at the catalytic site.

Abstract
The effect of palytoxin was studied in a microsomal fraction enriched in longitudinal tubules of the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane. Half-maximal effect of palytoxin on Ca(2+)-ATPase activity yielded an apparent inhibition constant of approx. 0.4 microM. The inhibition process exhibited the following characteristics: (i) the degree of inhibition was dependent on membrane protein concentration; (ii) no protection was observed when the ATP concentration was raised; (iii) dependence on Ca(2+) concentration with a decreased maximum catalytic rate; (iv) it occurred in the absence of Ca(2+) ionophoric activity. Likewise, the inhibition mechanism was linked to: (i) rapid enzyme phosphorylation from ATP in the presence of Ca(2+) but lower steady-state levels of phosphoenzyme; (ii) more drastic effect on phosphoenzyme levels when the toxin was added to the enzyme in the absence of Ca(2+); (iii) decreased phosphoenzyme levels at saturating Ca(2+) concentrations; (iv) no effect on kinetics of phosphoenzyme decomposition. The palytoxin effect is related with lock of the enzyme in the Ca(2+)-free conformation so that progression of the catalytic cycle is impeded.

Abstract
Experimental sarcoplasmic reticulum damage induced by 3 microM thapsigargin or 1 microg/ml tunicamycin provoked viability loss of the cell population in approximately 72 h. Release of cytochrome c from mitochondria was an early event and Bax translocation to the mitochondria preceded or was simultaneous with cytochrome c release. The release of cytochrome c was not related with mitochondria depolarization or caspase activation. Irreversible stress in the sarcoplasmic reticulum, detected by the early activation of caspase 12, was functionally linked to the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. Caspase 3 processing was blocked by cells preincubation with a selective inhibitor of either caspase 9 or caspase 8 whereas caspase 8 activation was inhibited by a selective caspase 9 inhibitor. This was consistent with the involvement of caspase 8 in a positive feedback loop leading to amplify the caspase cascade. Caspase inhibition did not protect against cell death indicating the existence of alternative caspase-independent mechanisms.

Abstract
The incubation of H9c2 cells with 10 microM thapsigargin (TG) was associated with the appearance of a two-component cytoplasmic Ca2+ peak. Experiments performed in a Ca2+-free medium indicated that both components came from intracellular sources. The first component of the signal corresponded to the discharge of the sarco-endoplasmic reticulum (SER) Ca2+ store. The appearance of the second component was prevented by cell preincubation with cyclosporin A (CsA) and gave rise to a clear and permanent depolarization of the mitochondrial inner membrane. These features were indication of a mitochondrial origin. The observed release of mitochondrial Ca2+ was related with opening of the permeability transition pore (PTP). The two-component cytoplasmic Ca2+ peak, i.e., treatment with 10 microM TG, as compared with the first component alone, i.e., treatment with 3 microM TG, was associated with a faster process of cellular death. In both cases, chromatin fragmentation and condensation at the nuclear periphery were observed. Other prominent apoptotic events such as loss of DNA content and cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) were also dependent on TG concentration and occurred in different time windows. PTP opening induced by 10 microM TG was responsible for the faster apoptotic death.

Abstract
Relevant Ca(2+) pools and fluxes in H9c2 cells have been studied using fluorescent indicators and Ca(2+)-mobilizing agents. Vasopressin produced a cytoplasmic Ca(2+) peak with half-maximal effective concentration of 6 nM, whereas thapsigargin-induced Ca(2+) increase showed half-maximal effect at 3 nM. Depolarization of the mitochondrial inner membrane by protonophore was also associated with an increase in cytoplasmic Ca(2+). Ionomycin induced a small and sustained depolarization, while thapsigargin had a small but transient effect. The thapsigargin-sensitive Ca(2+) pool was also sensitive to ionomycin, whereas the protonophore-sensitive Ca(2+) pool was not. The vasopressin-induced cytoplasmic Ca(2+) signal, which caused a reversible discharge of the sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) pool, was sensed as a mitochondrial Ca(2+) peak but was unaffected by the permeability transition pore inhibitor cyclosporin A. The mitochondrial Ca(2+) peak was affected by cyclosporin A when the Ca(2+) signal was induced by irreversible discharge of the intracellular Ca(2+) pool, i.e., adding thapsigargin. These observations indicate that the mitochondria interpret the cytoplasmic Ca(2+) signals generated in the reticular store.

Abstract
Isolated sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles in the presence of Mg(2+) and absence of Ca(2+) retain significant ATP hydrolytic activity that can be attributed to the Ca(2+)-ATPase protein. At neutral pH and the presence of 5 mM Mg(2+), the dependence of the hydrolysis rate on a linear ATP concentration scale can be fitted by a single hyperbolic function. MgATP hydrolysis is inhibited by either free Mg(2+) or free ATP. The rate of ATP hydrolysis is not perturbed by vanadate, whereas the rate of p-nitrophenyl phosphate hydrolysis is not altered by a nonhydrolyzable ATP analog. ATP binding affinity at neutral pH and in a Ca(2+)-free medium is increased by Mg(2+) but decreased by vanadate when Mg(2+) is present. It is suggested that MgATP hydrolysis in the absence of Ca(2+) requires some optimal adjustment of the enzyme cytoplasmic domains. The Ca(2+)-independent activity is operative at basal levels of cytoplasmic Ca(2+) or when the Ca(2+) binding transition is impeded.

Abstract
The chemical treatment of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles with H2O2 affects both Ca2+ transport and the hydrolytic activity supported by the Ca2+-ATPase protein. Ca2+ transport was much more sensitive to inhibition than ATPase activity and the decrease in Ca2+ transport was not the result of an increase in membrane permeability. The Ca2+/Pi uncoupling can be attributed to the own catalytic mechanism of the enzyme. Under conditions of high uncoupling, Ca2+ binding to the transport sites was barely affected and accumulation of phosphorylated species during the enzyme cycling gave almost maximal levels. These are features defining intramolecular uncoupling mediated by a phosphorylated form of the enzyme. Severe inhibition of the hydrolytic activity was observed when higher peroxide concentrations and leaky vesicles were used. These experimental conditions diminished maximal Ca2+ binding and the steady-state phosphoenzyme level. The low hydrolytic activity can be ascribed to a decrease in the rate of enzyme dephosphorylation.

Abstract
Sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles and purified Ca(2+)-ATPase hydrolyze acetyl phosphate both in the presence and absence of Ca(2+). The Ca(2+)-independent activity was fully sensitive to vanadate, insensitive to thapsigargin, and proceeded without accumulation of phosphorylated enzyme. Acetyl phosphate hydrolysis in the absence of Ca(2+) was activated by dimethyl sulfoxide. The Ca(2+)-dependent activity was partially sensitive to vanadate, fully sensitive to thapsigargin, and associated with steady phosphoenzyme accumulation. The Ca(2+)/P(i) coupling ratio at neutral pH sustained by 10 mm acetyl phosphate was 0.57. Addition of 30% dimethyl sulfoxide completely blocked Ca(2+) transport and partially inhibited the hydrolysis rate. Uncoupling induced by dimethyl sulfoxide included the accumulation of vanadate-insensitive phosphorylated enzyme. When acetyl phosphate was the substrate, the hydrolytic pathway was dependent on experimental conditions that might or might not allow net Ca(2+) transport. The interdependence of both Ca(2+)-dependent and Ca(2+)-independent hydrolytic activities was demonstrated.

Abstract
Vesicular fragments of sarcoplasmic reticulum isolated from rabbit skeletal muscle were actively loaded with Ca2+ in the presence of ATP and an ATP-regenerating system using Arsenazo III as metallochromic indicator to monitor Ca2+ movements across the membrane. Once the Ca2+ release is triggered by the presence of tetraphenylboron in the reaction medium, the addition of verapamil or diltiazem gives rise to a net Ca2+ entry inside the vesicles. Preincubation in the presence of verapamil does not abolish the tetraphenylboron-induced Ca2+ release, the verapamil-induced Ca2+ accumulation being still observed. There appears to be a high-affinity site for verapamil titrated in the micromolar concentration range, whereas diltiazem demonstrates more complex behavior when its concentration is raised. This study suggests the existence of a Ca2+ pathway (putative channels) which is blocked by the drugs tested allowing Ca2+ accumulation inside the vesicles owing to the Ca2+-dependent ATPase activity.

Abstract
A systematic procedure for the kinetic study of irreversible inhibition, when the enzymatic activity is measured in the presence of a coupled enzyme system, has been developed and analyzed. Simultaneous variation of the enzyme and inhibitor concentrations, maintaining a constant ratio between them, is recommended. The methodology is established to estimate the kinetic constants corresponding to the irreversible inhibitor. This approach is illustrated by the study of the inhibition of fluorescein isothiocyanate on the Ca2+-ATPase activity from sarcoplasmic reticulum measured in the presence of pyruvate kinase and lactate dehydrogenase as auxiliary enzymes. Treatment of the experimental data has been carried out by non-linear regression.

Abstract
The absorbance and fluorescence spectral properties of mitochondrial F1-ATPase confirm that this protein does not contain tryptophan residues and therefore its fluorescence is due to tyrosines. The 36% increase in the fluorescence and the almost 100% increase in quantum yield upon denaturation of the protein suggest that a considerable number of tyrosyl residues have a very low quantum yield in the native enzyme. Quenching experiments using iodide indicate that all of the fluorophores are quenched and also all of them with the same quenching constant. These observations are interpreted as confirmatory of what has been found with several other proteins whose fluorescence originates from tyrosyl residues, where the buried tyrosines fluoresce with a much lower quantum yield than those which are exposed. ATP added to F1 previously depleted of loosely bound nucleotides changes the quenching constant of iodide and the quantum yield and this is interpreted to be due to a conformational change induced by the binding of the nucleotide to the enzyme. Addition of 2-mercaptoethanol decreases, although slightly, the polarization of the fluorescence. However, SDS addition gives a much bigger decrease. Hence disulphide bridges are less important for the tertiary structure of the protein than hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonding or other forces. Nevertheless the conformational change induced by reduction of disulphide bridges is detected in iodide quenching experiments and the change of the quantum yield of the enzyme.
