Calcium-sensing receptor regulates intestinal dipeptide absorption via Ca²⁺ signaling and IK_Ca activation.

ABSTRACT: Although absorption of di- and tripeptides into intestinal epithelial cells occurs via the peptide transporter 1 (PEPT1, also called solute carrier family 15 member 1 (SLC15A1)), the detailed regulatory mechanisms are not fully understood. We examined: (a) whether dipeptide absorption in villous enterocytes is associated with a rise in cytosolic Ca²⁺ ([Ca²⁺ ]_cyt ), (b) whether the calcium sensing receptor (CaSR) is involved in dipeptide-elicited [Ca²⁺ ]_cyt signaling, and (c) what potential consequences of [Ca²⁺ ]_cyt signaling may enhance enterocyte dipeptide absorption. Dipeptide Gly-Sar and CaSR agonist spermine markedly raised [Ca²⁺ ]_cyt in villous enterocytes, which was abolished by NPS-2143, a selective CaSR antagonist and U73122, an phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor. Apical application of Gly-Sar induced a jejunal short-circuit current (Isc), which was reduced by NPS-2143. CaSR expression was identified in the lamina propria and on the basal enterocyte membrane of mouse jejunal mucosa in both WT and Slc15a1^-/- animals, but Gly-Sar-induced [Ca²⁺ ]_cyt signaling was significantly decreased in Slc15a1^-/- villi. Clotrimazole and TRM-34, two selective blockers of the intermediate conductance Ca²⁺ -activated K⁺ channel (IK_Ca ), but not iberiotoxin, a selective blocker of the large-conductance K⁺ channel (BK_Ca ) and apamin, a selective blocker of the small-conductance K⁺ channel (SK_Ca ), significantly inhibited Gly-Sar-induced Isc in native tissues. We reveal a novel CaSR-PLC-Ca²⁺ -IK_Ca pathway in the regulation of small intestinal dipeptide absorption, which may be exploited as a target for future drug development in human nutritional disorders.

Project description:1. Nine bis-quinolinyl and bis-quinolinium compounds related to dequalinium, and previously shown to block apamin-sensitive small conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels (SK(Ca)), have been tested for their inhibitory effects on actions mediated by intermediate conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels (IK(Ca)) in rabbit blood cells. 2. In most experiments, a K(+)-sensitive electrode was employed to monitor the IK(Ca)-mediated net loss of cell K(+) that followed the addition of the Ca(2+) ionophore A23187 (2 microM) to red cells suspended at an haematocrit of 1% in a low K(+) (0.12 - 0.17 mM) solution. The remainder used an optical method based on measuring the reduction in light transmission that occurred on applying A23187 (0.4 or 2 microM) to a very dilute suspension of red cells (haematocrit 0.02%). 3. Of the compounds tested, the most potent IK(Ca) blocker was 1,12 bis[(2-methylquinolin-4-yl)amino]dodecane (UCL 1407) which had an IC(50) of 0.85+/-0.06 microM (mean+/-s.d. mean). 4. The inhibitory action of UCL 1407 and its three most active congeners was characterized by (i) a Hill slope greater than unity, (ii) sensitivity to an increase in external [K(+)], and (iii) a time course of onset that suggested use-dependence. Also, the potency of the nonquaternary compounds tested increased with their predicted lipophilicity. These findings suggested that the IK(Ca) blocking action resembles that of cetiedil rather than of clotrimazole. 5. Some quaternized members of the series were also active. The most potent was the monoquaternary UCL 1440 ((1-[N-[1-(3, 5-dimethoxybenzyl)-2-methylquinolinium-4-yl]amino]-10-[N'-(2-me thylqu inolinium-4yl)amino] decane (trifluoroacetate) which had an IC(50) of 1.8+/-0.1 microM. The corresponding bisquaternary UCL 1438 (1, 10-bis[N-[1-(3,5-dimethoxybenzyl)-2-methylquinolinium-4-yl]amino] decane bis(trifluoroacetate) was almost as active (IC(50) 2.7+/-0.3 microM). 6. A bis-aminoquinolium cyclophane (UCL 1684) had little IK(Ca) blocking action despite its great potency at SK(Ca) channels (IC(50) 4.1+/-0.2 nM). 7. The main outcome is the identification of new intermediate-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channel blockers with a wide range of IK(Ca)/SK(Ca) selectivities.

Project description:The calcium-sensing receptor is a homodimeric class C G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that senses extracellular Ca2+ (Ca2+ o ) via a dimeric extracellular Venus flytrap (VFT) unit that activates G protein-dependent signaling via twin Cysteine-rich domains linked to transmembrane heptahelical (HH) bundles. It plays a key role in the regulation of human calcium and thus mineral metabolism. However, the nature of interactions between VFT units and HH bundles, and the impacts of heterozygous or homozygous inactivating mutations, which have implications for disorders of calcium metabolism are not yet clearly defined. Herein we generated CaSR-GABAB1 and CaSR-GABAB2 chimeras subject to GABAB -dependent endoplasmic reticulum sorting to traffic mutant heterodimers to the cell surface. Transfected HEK-293 cells were assessed for Ca2+ o -stimulated Ca2+ i mobilization using mutations in either the VFT domains and/or HH bundle intraloop-2 or intraloop-3. When the same mutation was present in both VFT domains of receptor dimers, analogous to homozygous neonatal severe hyperparathyroidism (NSHPT), receptor function was markedly impaired. Mutant heterodimers containing one wild-type (WT) and one mutant VFT domain, however, corresponding to heterozygous familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia type-1 (FHH-1), supported maximal signaling with reduced Ca2+ o potency. Thus two WT VFT domains were required for normal Ca2+ o potency and there was a pronounced gene-dosage effect. In contrast, a single WT HH bundle was insufficient for maximal signaling and there was no functional difference between heterodimers in which the mutation was present in one or both intraloops; ie, no gene-dosage effect. Finally, we observed that the Ca2+ o -stimulated CaSR operated exclusively via signaling in-trans and not via combined in-trans and in-cis signaling. We consider how receptor asymmetry may support the underlying mechanisms. © 2022 The Authors.
