Pancreatic protease activation by alcohol metabolite depends on Ca2+ release via acid store IP3 receptors.

ABSTRACT: Toxic alcohol effects on pancreatic acinar cells, causing the often fatal human disease acute pancreatitis, are principally mediated by fatty acid ethyl esters (non-oxidative products of alcohol and fatty acids), emptying internal stores of Ca(2+). This excessive Ca(2+) liberation induces Ca(2+)-dependent necrosis due to intracellular trypsin activation. Our aim was to identify the specific source of the Ca(2+) release linked to the fatal intracellular protease activation. In 2-photon permeabilized mouse pancreatic acinar cells, we monitored changes in the Ca(2+) concentration in the thapsigargin-sensitive endoplasmic reticulum (ER) as well as in a bafilomycin-sensitive acid compartment, localized exclusively in the apical granular pole. We also assessed trypsin activity in the apical granular region. Palmitoleic acid ethyl ester (POAEE) elicited Ca(2+) release from both the ER as well as the acid pool, but trypsin activation depended predominantly on Ca(2+) release from the acid pool, that was mainly mediated by functional inositol 1,4,5- trisphosphate receptors (IP(3)Rs) of types 2 and 3. POAEE evoked very little Ca(2+) release and trypsin activation when IP(3)Rs of both types 2 and 3 were knocked out. Antibodies against IP(3)Rs of types 2 and 3, but not type 1, markedly inhibited POAEE-elicited Ca(2+) release and trypsin activation. We conclude that Ca(2+) release through IP(3)Rs of types 2 and 3 in the acid granular Ca(2+) store induces intracellular protease activation, and propose that this is a critical process in the initiation of alcohol-related acute pancreatitis.

Calmodulin protects against alcohol-induced pancreatic trypsinogen activation elicited via Ca2+ release through IP3 receptors.

Project description:Alcohol abuse is a major global health problem, but there is still much uncertainty about the mechanisms of action. So far, the effects of ethanol on ion channels in the plasma membrane have received the most attention. We have now investigated actions on intracellular calcium channels in pancreatic acinar cells. Our aim was to discover the mechanism by which alcohol influences calcium homeostasis and thereby understand how alcohol can trigger premature intracellular trypsinogen activation, which is the initiating step for alcohol-induced pancreatitis. We used intact or two-photon permeabilized acinar cells isolated from wild-type mice or mice in which inositol trisphosphate receptors of type 2 or types 2 and 3 were knocked out. In permeabilized pancreatic acinar cells even a relatively low ethanol concentration elicited calcium release from intracellular stores and intracellular trypsinogen activation. The calcium sensor calmodulin (at a normal intracellular concentration) markedly reduced ethanol-induced calcium release and trypsinogen activation in permeabilized cells, effects prevented by the calmodulin inhibitor peptide. A calmodulin activator virtually abolished the modest ethanol effects in intact cells. Both ethanol-elicited calcium liberation and trypsinogen activation were significantly reduced in cells from type 2 inositol trisphosphate receptor knockout mice. More profound reductions were seen in cells from double inositol trisphosphate receptor (types 2 and 3) knockout mice. The inositol trisphosphate receptors, required for normal pancreatic stimulus-secretion coupling, are also responsible for the toxic ethanol action. Calmodulin protects by reducing calcium release sensitivity.

Cyclic AMP Recruits a Discrete Intracellular Ca2+ Store by Unmasking Hypersensitive IP3 Receptors.

Project description:Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) stimulates Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and the response is potentiated by 3',5'-cyclic AMP (cAMP). We investigated this interaction in HEK293 cells using carbachol and parathyroid hormone (PTH) to stimulate formation of IP3 and cAMP, respectively. PTH alone had no effect on the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration, but it potentiated the Ca2+ signals evoked by carbachol. Surprisingly, however, the intracellular Ca2+ stores that respond to carbachol alone could be both emptied and refilled without affecting the subsequent response to PTH. We provide evidence that PTH unmasks high-affinity IP3 receptors within a discrete Ca2+ store. We conclude that Ca2+ stores within the ER that dynamically exchange Ca2+ with the cytosol maintain a functional independence that allows one store to be released by carbachol and another to be released by carbachol with PTH. Compartmentalization of ER Ca2+ stores adds versatility to IP3-evoked Ca2+ signals.

Modeling of the modulation by buffers of Ca2+ release through clusters of IP3 receptors.

Project description:Intracellular Ca(2+) release is a versatile second messenger system. It is modeled here by reaction-diffusion equations for the free Ca(2+) and Ca(2+) buffers, with spatially discrete clusters of stochastic IP(3) receptor channels (IP(3)Rs) controlling the release of Ca(2+) from the endoplasmic reticulum. IP(3)Rs are activated by a small rise of the cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration and inhibited by large concentrations. Buffering of cytosolic Ca(2+) shapes global Ca(2+) transients. Here we use a model to investigate the effect of buffers with slow and fast reaction rates on single release spikes. We find that, depending on their diffusion coefficient, fast buffers can either decouple clusters or delay inhibition. Slow buffers have little effect on Ca(2+) release, but affect the time course of the signals from the fluorescent Ca(2+) indicator mainly by competing for Ca(2+). At low [IP(3)], fast buffers suppress fluorescence signals, slow buffers increase the contrast between bulk signals and signals at open clusters, and large concentrations of buffers, either fast or slow, decouple clusters.

Carvedilol inhibits cADPR- and IP3-induced Ca2+ release.

Project description:Spontaneous Ca2+ waves, also termed store-overload-induced Ca2+ release (SOICR), in cardiac cells can trigger ventricular arrhythmias especially in failing hearts. SOICR occurs when RyRs are activated by an increase in sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) luminal Ca2+. Carvedilol is one of the most effective drugs for preventing arrhythmias in patients with heart failure. Furthermore, carvedilol analogues with minimal ?-blocking activity also block SOICR showing that SOICR-inhibiting activity is distinct from that for ?-block. We show here that carvedilol is a potent inhibitor of cADPR-induced Ca2+ release in sea urchin egg homogenate. In addition, the carvedilol analog VK-II-86 with minimal ?-blocking activity also suppresses cADPR-induced Ca2+ release. Carvedilol appeared to be a non-competitive antagonist of cADPR and could also suppress Ca2+ release by caffeine. These results are consistent with cADPR releasing Ca2+ in sea urchin eggs by sensitizing RyRs to Ca2+ involving a luminal Ca2+ activation mechanism. In addition to action on the RyR, we also observed inhibition of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)-induced Ca2+ release by carvedilol suggesting a common mechanism between these evolutionarily related and conserved Ca2+ release channels.

Wide long lasting perinuclear Ca2+ release events generated by an interaction between ryanodine and IP3 receptors in canine Purkinje cells.

Project description:The purpose of this study was to determine whether IP(3)Rs contribute to the generation of wide long lasting perinuclear Ca(2+) release events in canine Purkinje cells. Spontaneous Ca(2+) release events (elevations of basal [Ca(2+)] equivalent to F/F(0) 3.4SD over F(0)) were imaged using Fluo-4AM and 2D confocal microscope. Only cells free of Ca(2+) waves were analyzed. Subsarcolemmal region (SSL) was defined as 5 microm from cell edges. Core was the remaining cell. The majority of events (94%, 0.0035+/-0.0007 events (ev)/microm(2)/s, N=34 cells) were detected within a single frame (typical events, TE). However, a subpopulation (6.0%, 0.00022+/-0.00005 ev/microm(2)/s, N=41 cells: wide long lasting events, WLE) lasted for several frames, showed a greater spatial extent (51.0+/-3.9 vs. TE 9.0+/-0.3 microm(2), P<0.01) and higher amplitude (F/F(0) 1.38+/-0.02 vs. TE 1.20+/-0.003, P<0.01). WLE event rate was increased by phenylephrine (10 microM, P<0.01), inhibited by 2APB and U73122 (P<0.05), and abolished by tetracaine (1 mM) and ryanodine (100 microM). While SSL WLEs were scattered randomly, Core WLEs (n=69 events) were predominantly distributed longitudinally 18.2+/-1.6 microm from the center of nuclei. Immunocytochemistry showed that IP(3)R1s were located not only at SSL region but also near both ends of nucleus overlapping with RyRs. In Purkinje cells, wide long lasting Ca(2+) release events occur in SSL and in specific perinuclear regions. They are likely due to RyRs and IP(3)R1s evoked Ca(2+) release and may play a role in Ca(2+) dependent nuclear processes.

Novel carvedilol analogues that suppress store-overload-induced Ca2+ release.

Project description:Carvedilol is a uniquely effective drug for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias in patients with heart failure. This activity is in part because of its ability to inhibit store-overload-induced calcium release (SOICR) through the RyR2 channel. We describe the synthesis, characterization, and bioassay of ca. 100 compounds based on the carvedilol motif to identify features that correlate with and optimize SOICR inhibition. A single-cell bioassay was employed on the basis of the RyR2-R4496C mutant HEK-293 cell line in which calcium release from the endoplasmic reticulum through the defective channel was measured. IC50 values for SOICR inhibition were thus obtained. The compounds investigated contained modifications to the three principal subunits of carvedilol, including the carbazole and catechol moieties, as well as the linker chain containing the ?-amino alcohol functionality. The SAR results indicate that significant alterations are tolerated in each of the three subunits.

Characterization of store-operated Ca2+ channels in pancreatic duct epithelia.

Project description:Store-operated Ca2+ channels (SOCs) are activated by depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores following agonist-mediated Ca2+ release. Previously we demonstrated that Ca2+ influx through SOCs elicits exocytosis efficiently in pancreatic duct epithelial cells (PDEC). Here we describe the biophysical, pharmacological, and molecular properties of the duct epithelial SOCs using Ca2+ imaging, whole-cell patch-clamp, and molecular biology. In PDEC, agonists of purinergic, muscarinic, and adrenergic receptors coupled to phospholipase C activated SOC-mediated Ca2+ influx as Ca2+ was released from intracellular stores. Direct measurement of [Ca2+] in the ER showed that SOCs greatly slowed depletion of the ER. Using IP3 or thapsigargin in the patch pipette elicited inwardly rectifying SOC currents. The currents increased ?8-fold after removal of extracellular divalent cations, suggesting competitive permeation between mono- and divalent cations. The current was completely blocked by high doses of La3+ and 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB) but only partially depressed by SKF-96365. In polarized PDEC, SOCs were localized specifically to the basolateral membrane. RT-PCR screening revealed the expression of both STIM and Orai proteins for the formation of SOCs in PDEC. By expression of fluorescent STIM1 and Orai1 proteins in PDEC, we confirmed that colocalization of the two proteins increases after store depletion. In conclusion, basolateral Ca2+ entry through SOCs fills internal Ca2+ stores depleted by external stimuli and will facilitate cellular processes dependent on cytoplasmic Ca2+ such as salt and mucin secretion from the exocrine pancreatic ducts.

Ca2+ signals initiate at immobile IP3 receptors adjacent to ER-plasma membrane junctions.

Project description:IP3 receptors (IP3Rs) release Ca2+ from the ER when they bind IP3 and Ca2+. The spatial organization of IP3Rs determines both the propagation of Ca2+ signals between IP3Rs and the selective regulation of cellular responses. Here we use gene editing to fluorescently tag endogenous IP3Rs, and super-resolution microscopy to determine the geography of IP3Rs and Ca2+ signals within living cells. We show that native IP3Rs cluster within ER membranes. Most IP3R clusters are mobile, moved by diffusion and microtubule motors. Ca2+ signals are generated by a small population of immobile IP3Rs. These IP3Rs are licensed to respond, but they do not readily mix with mobile IP3Rs. The licensed IP3Rs reside alongside ER-plasma membrane junctions where STIM1, which regulates store-operated Ca2+ entry, accumulates after depletion of Ca2+ stores. IP3Rs tethered close to ER-plasma membrane junctions are licensed to respond and optimally placed to be activated by endogenous IP3 and to regulate Ca2+ entry.

Structural basis for the regulation of inositol trisphosphate receptors by Ca2+ and IP3.

Project description:Inositol trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) are ubiquitous Ca2+-permeable channels that mediate release of Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum, thereby regulating numerous processes including cell division, cell death, differentiation and fertilization. IP3Rs are jointly activated by inositol trisphosphate (IP3) and their permeant ion, Ca2+. At high concentrations, however, Ca2+ inhibits activity, ensuring precise spatiotemporal control over intracellular Ca2+. Despite extensive characterization of IP3R, the mechanisms through which these molecules control channel gating have remained elusive. Here, we present structures of full-length human type 3 IP3Rs in ligand-bound and ligand-free states. Multiple IP3-bound structures demonstrate that the large cytoplasmic domain provides a platform for propagation of long-range conformational changes to the ion-conduction gate. Structures in the presence of Ca2+ reveal two Ca2+-binding sites that induce the disruption of numerous interactions between subunits, thereby inhibiting IP3R. These structures thus provide a mechanistic basis for beginning to understand the regulation of IP3R.

Ca2+ entry following P2X receptor activation induces IP3 receptor-mediated Ca2+ release in myocytes from small renal arteries.

Project description:P2X receptors mediate sympathetic control and autoregulation of the renal circulation triggering contraction of renal vascular smooth muscle cells (RVSMCs) via an elevation of intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+) ](i) ). Although it is well-appreciated that the myocyte Ca(2+) signalling system is composed of microdomains, little is known about the structure of the [Ca(2+) ](i) responses induced by P2X receptor stimulation in vascular myocytes.Using confocal microscopy, perforated-patch electrical recordings, immuno-/organelle-specific staining, flash photolysis and RT-PCR analysis we explored, at the subcellular level, the Ca(2+) signalling system engaged in RVSMCs on stimulation of P2X receptors with the selective agonist ??-methylene ATP (??-meATP).RT-PCR analysis of single RVSMCs showed the presence of genes encoding inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor type 1(IP(3) R1) and ryanodine receptor type 2 (RyR2). The amplitude of the [Ca(2+) ](i) transients depended on ??-meATP concentration. Depolarization induced by 10?µmol·L(-1) ??-meATP triggered an abrupt Ca(2+) release from sub-plasmalemmal ('junctional') sarcoplasmic reticulum enriched with IP(3) Rs but poor in RyRs. Depletion of calcium stores, block of voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels (VGCCs) or IP(3) Rs suppressed the sub-plasmalemmal [Ca(2+) ](i) upstroke significantly more than block of RyRs. The effect of calcium store depletion or IP(3) R inhibition on the sub-plasmalemmal [Ca(2+) ](i) upstroke was attenuated following block of VGCCs.Depolarization of RVSMCs following P2X receptor activation induces IP(3) R-mediated Ca(2+) release from sub-plasmalemmal ('junctional') sarcoplasmic reticulum, which is activated mainly by Ca(2+) influx through VGCCs. This mechanism provides convergence of signalling pathways engaged in electromechanical and pharmacomechanical coupling in renal vascular myocytes.
