Role of Pannexin 1 ATP-Permeable Channels in the Regulation of Signaling Pathways during Skeletal Muscle Unloading.

ABSTRACT: Skeletal muscle unloading results in atrophy. We hypothesized that pannexin 1 ATP-permeable channel (PANX1) is involved in the response of muscle to unloading. We tested this hypothesis by blocking PANX1, which regulates efflux of ATP from the cytoplasm. Rats were divided into six groups (eight rats each): non-treated control for 1 and 3 days of the experiments (1C and 3C, respectively), 1 and 3 days of hindlimb suspension (HS) with placebo (1H and 3H, respectively), and 1 and 3 days of HS with PANX1 inhibitor probenecid (PRB; 1HP and 3HP, respectively). When compared with 3C group there was a significant increase in ATP in soleus muscle of 3H and 3HP groups (32 and 51%, respectively, p < 0.05). When compared with 3H group, 3HP group had: (1) lower mRNA expression of E3 ligases MuRF1 and MAFbx (by 50 and 38% respectively, p < 0.05) and MYOG (by 34%, p < 0.05); (2) higher phosphorylation of p70S6k and p90RSK (by 51 and 35% respectively, p < 0.05); (3) lower levels of phosphorylated eEF2 (by 157%, p < 0.05); (4) higher level of phosphorylated GSK3β (by 189%, p < 0.05). In conclusion, PANX1 ATP-permeable channels are involved in the regulation of muscle atrophic processes by modulating expression of E3 ligases, and protein translation and elongation processes during unloading.

ATP and large signaling metabolites flux through caspase-activated Pannexin 1 channels.

Project description:Pannexin 1 (Panx1) is a membrane channel implicated in numerous physiological and pathophysiological processes via its ability to support release of ATP and other cellular metabolites for local intercellular signaling. However, to date, there has been no direct demonstration of large molecule permeation via the Panx1 channel itself, and thus the permselectivity of Panx1 for different molecules remains unknown. To address this, we expressed, purified, and reconstituted Panx1 into proteoliposomes and demonstrated that channel activation by caspase cleavage yields a dye-permeable pore that favors flux of anionic, large-molecule permeants (up to ~1 kDa). Large cationic molecules can also permeate the channel, albeit at a much lower rate. We further show that Panx1 channels provide a molecular pathway for flux of ATP and other anionic (glutamate) and cationic signaling metabolites (spermidine). These results verify large molecule permeation directly through caspase-activated Panx1 channels that can support their many physiological roles.

Skeletal muscle unloading results in increased mitophagy and decreased mitochondrial biogenesis regulation.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Physical inactivity significantly contributes to loss of muscle mass and performance in bed-bound patients. Loss of skeletal muscle mitochondrial content has been well-established in muscle unloading models, but the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. We hypothesized that apparent unloading-induced loss of muscle mitochondrial content is preceded by increased mitophagy- and decreased mitochondrial biogenesis-signaling during the early stages of unloading. METHODS:We analyzed a comprehensive set of molecular markers involved in mitochondrial-autophagy, -biogenesis, -dynamics, and -content, in the gastrocnemius muscle of C57BL/6J mice subjected to 0- and 3-days hind limb suspension, and in biopsies from human vastus lateralis muscle obtained before and after 7?days of one-leg immobilization. RESULTS:In both mice and men, short-term skeletal muscle unloading results in molecular marker patterns indicative of increased receptor-mediated mitophagy and decreased mitochondrial biogenesis regulation, before apparent loss of mitochondrial content. DISCUSSION:These results emphasize the early-onset of skeletal muscle disuse-induced mitochondrial remodeling.

ATP release into ADPKD cysts via pannexin-1/P2X7 channels decreases ENaC activity.

Project description:Genetic predisposition is necessary for polycystic kidney disease (PKD) initiation, although there are other, incompletely identified downstream processes that are required for cyst growth. Their characterization may provide a unique opportunity for clinical interventions. One of the poorly studied phenomena in PKD is high ATP content in cysts. Unfortunately, neither origins of uncontrolled ATP release, nor consequences of abnormal purinergic signaling in relation to epithelial transport are well explored in the polycystic kidney. We tested the distribution of pannexin-1 (Panx1) and P2X7, two proteins potentially involved in ATP release, in the kidneys of the Pkd1RC/RC mice, a model of autosomal dominant PKD (ADPKD). Abundances of both proteins were abnormally increased in the cyst lining cells compared to non-dilated collecting ducts. To establish if pannexin-1 contributes to ATP release in the collecting ducts (CD), we measured luminal accumulation of ATP in M1 cell renal CD monolayers, and found that treatment with probenecid, a Panx1 blocker, prevents ATP release. Single channel patch clamp analysis of polarized M1 cells revealed that apical stimulation of P2X receptors with αβ-MeATP acutely reduces ENaC activity. We conclude that in ADPKD progression, an abnormal hyperexpression of both PANX1 and P2RX7 occurs in the cyst lining epithelial cells. High abundance of both proteins is not typical for non-dilated CDs but, when it happens in cysts, pannexin1/P2X7 cooperation elevates ATP release into the luminal space. High ATP level is a pathogenic factor facilitating cystogenesis by reducing ENaC-mediated reabsorption from the lumen.

A permeant regulating its permeation pore: inhibition of pannexin 1 channels by ATP.

Project description:Pannexin 1 forms a large membrane channel that, based on its biophysical properties and its expression pattern, is a prime candidate to represent an ATP release channel. Pannexin 1 channel activity is potentially deleterious for cells as indicated by its involvement in the P2X7 death complex. Here we describe a negative feedback loop controlling pannexin 1 channel activity. ATP, permeant to pannexin 1 channels, was found to inhibit its permeation pathway when applied extracellularly to oocytes expressing pannexin 1 exogenously. ATP analogues, including benzoylbenzoyl-ATP, suramin, and brilliant blue G were even more effective inhibitors of pannexin 1 currents than ATP. These compounds also attenuated the uptake of dyes by erythrocytes, which express pannexin 1. The rank order of the compounds in attenuation of pannexin 1 currents was similar to their binding affinities to the P2X7 receptor, except that receptor agonists and antagonists both were inhibitory to the channel. Mutational analysis identified R75 in pannexin 1 to be critical for ATP inhibition of pannexin 1 currents.

Haploinsufficient TNAP Mice Display Decreased Extracellular ATP Levels and Expression of Pannexin-1 Channels.

Project description:Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare heritable metabolic bone disease caused by hypomorphic mutations in the ALPL (in human) or Akp2 (in mouse) gene, encoding the tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP) enzyme. In addition to skeletal and dental malformations, severe forms of HPP are also characterized by the presence of spontaneous seizures. Initially, these seizures were attributed to an impairment of GABAergic neurotransmission caused by altered vitamin B6 metabolism. However, recent work by our group using knockout mice null for TNAP (TNAP-/-), a well-described model of infantile HPP, has revealed a deregulation of purinergic signaling contributing to the seizure phenotype. In the present study, we report that adult heterozygous (TNAP+/-) transgenic mice with decreased TNAP activity in the brain are more susceptible to adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP)-induced seizures. Interestingly, when we analyzed the extracellular levels of ATP in the cerebrospinal fluid, we found that TNAP+/- mice present lower levels than control mice. To elucidate the underlying mechanism, we evaluated the expression levels of other ectonucleotidases, as well as different proteins involved in ATP release, such as pannexin, connexins, and vesicular nucleotide transporter. Among these, Pannexin-1 (Panx1) was the only one showing diminished levels in the brains of TNAP+/- mice. Altogether, these findings suggest that a physiological regulation of extracellular ATP levels and Panx1 changes may compensate for the reduced TNAP activity in this model of HPP.

Pannexin-1 channels promotes CD8+ T cell effector and memory responses through distinct metabolic pathways

Project description:Sensing of extracellular metabolites controls CD8+ T cell function. Their accumulation can occur through export by specialized molecules, such as the release channel Pannexin-1 (Panx1). Here, we report that T cell-specific Panx1 is needed for efficient CD8+ T cell responses to viral infection and cancer. Panx1 favors both the expansion of effector CD8+ T cells and the survival of memory CD8+ T cells. Our data suggests that, while memory CD8+ T cells require Panx1 for mitochondrial function, Panx1 promotes the glycolytic pathway in effector CD8+ T cells. Panx1 promotes memory CD8+ T cell survival together with the eATP sensor P2RX7. However, Panx1 induces effector CD8+ T cells independently of eATP. Rather, we found an unexpected link between Panx1, sodium lactate export and the activation of effector CD8+ T cells. Therefore, Panx1 regulates effector and memory CD8+ T cells through export of distinct metabolites and by engaging different intracellular pathways.

Icaritin requires Phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling to counteract skeletal muscle atrophy following mechanical unloading.

Project description:Counteracting muscle atrophy induced by mechanical unloading/inactivity is of great clinical need and challenge. A therapeutic agent that could counteract muscle atrophy following mechanical unloading in safety is desired. This study showed that natural product Icaritin (ICT) could increase the phosphorylation level of Phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K) at p110 catalytic subunit and promote PI3K/Akt signaling markers in C2C12 cells. This study further showed that the high dose ICT treatment could significantly attenuate the decreases in the phosphorylation level of PI3K at p110 catalytic subunit and its downstream markers related to protein synthesis, and inhibit the increases in protein degradation markers at mRNA and protein levels in rat soleus muscle following 28-day hindlimb unloading. In addition, the decreases in soleus muscle mass, muscle fiber cross-sectional area, twitch force, specific force, contraction time and half relaxation time could be significantly attenuated by the high dose ICT treatment. The low dose ICT treatment could moderately attenuate the above changes induced by unloading. Wortmannin, a specific inhibitor of PI3K at p110 catalytic subunit, could abolish the above effects of ICT in vitro and in vivo, indicating that PI3K/Akt signaling could be required by ICT to counteract skeletal muscle atrophy following mechanical unloading.

Rho signaling regulates pannexin 1-mediated ATP release from airway epithelia.

Project description:ATP released from airway epithelial cells promotes purinergic receptor-regulated mucociliary clearance activities necessary for innate lung defense. Cell swelling-induced membrane stretch/strain is a common stimulus that promotes airway epithelial ATP release, but the mechanisms transducing cell swelling into ATP release are incompletely understood. Using knockdown and knockout approaches, we tested the hypothesis that pannexin 1 mediates ATP release from hypotonically swollen airway epithelia and investigated mechanisms regulating this activity. Well differentiated primary cultures of human bronchial epithelial cells subjected to hypotonic challenge exhibited enhanced ATP release, which was paralleled by the uptake of the pannexin probe propidium iodide. Both responses were reduced by pannexin 1 inhibitors and by knocking down pannexin 1. Importantly, hypotonicity-evoked ATP release from freshly excised tracheas and dye uptake in primary tracheal epithelial cells were impaired in pannexin 1 knockout mice. Hypotonicity-promoted ATP release and dye uptake in primary well differentiated human bronchial epithelial cells was accompanied by RhoA activation and myosin light chain phosphorylation and was reduced by the RhoA dominant negative mutant RhoA(T19N) and Rho and myosin light chain kinase inhibitors. ATP release and Rho activation were reduced by highly selective inhibitors of transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4). Lastly, knocking down TRPV4 impaired hypotonicity-evoked airway epithelial ATP release. Our data suggest that TRPV4 and Rho transduce cell membrane stretch/strain into pannexin 1-mediated ATP release in airway epithelia.

Regulation of signaling pathways downstream of IGF-I/insulin by androgen in skeletal muscle of glucocorticoid-treated rats.

Project description:The mechanisms by which androgens ameliorate glucocorticoid-induced muscle wasting are still under investigation. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that androgen's effects in reversing muscle wasting are related to activating the signaling pathways downstream of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-I)/insulin.Forty female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups: control group, dexamethasone (DEX) group, testosterone (TES) group, and TES + DEX group. Each group was injected with saline or DEX (0.1 mg/100 g/d) for 10 days and sesame oil or TES (0.5 mg/100 g/d) for 13 days. Several downstream targets of IGF-I/insulin in skeletal muscle including protein kinase B (Akt), p70 ribosomal protein S6 kinase (p70S6K), and glycogen synthase kinase-3beta (GSK-3beta) that are associated with protein synthesis were examined. Two proteolysis-related ubiquitin E3-ligases, muscle atrophy F-box, and muscle RING finger-1 that are also regulated by IGF-I/insulin were also assessed.TES attenuated gastrocnemius muscle atrophy induced by DEX. TES prevented the DEX-induced decrease of IGF-I expression in gastrocnemius muscle, but not in serum. TES ameliorated DEX-induced dephosphorylation of Akt and p70S6K and promoted the phosphorylation of GSK-3beta in gastrocnemius muscle. The total amount of Akt, p70S6K, or GSK-3beta proteins was not changed among these groups. TES did not show any effects on the DEX-induced upregulation of muscle atrophy F-box, and muscle RING finger-1 mRNA in gastrocnemius muscle.This findings suggest that the effects of TES in reversing DEX-induced muscle atrophy are related to signaling pathways downstream of IGF-I/insulin that are associated with protein synthesis.
