Calcium mobilization and protein kinase C activation are required for cholecystokinin stimulation of pancreatic cholesterol esterase secretion.

ABSTRACT: The bile salt-stimulated cholesterol esterase is a digestive enzyme synthesized by the acinar cells of the pancreas. Previous results have shown that cholesterol esterase biosynthesis and secretion in the AR42J pancreatoma cells could be increased 3-5-fold by intestinal hormones such as cholecystokinin (CCK). The purpose of the current study is to explore the signalling mechanism by which CCK stimulation of AR42J cells results in increased biosynthesis and secretion of the cholesterol esterase. The results showed that the CCK-induced cholesterol esterase secretion could be mimicked by addition of the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 or by transient incubation of AR42J cells with the protein kinase C activator phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). Cholesterol esterase stimulation by CCK, A23187 and PMA could be abolished by the calcium chelator BAPTA or by specific protein kinase C inhibitors such as chelerythrine. Additionally, prolonged incubation of AR42J cells with PMA to reduce the protein kinase C level, also reduced CCK-stimulated cholesterol esterase secretion to a level similar to that observed in control cells. Taken together, these data suggested that CCK activation of cholesterol esterase secretion may be mediated by a Ca(2+)-dependent protein kinase C pathway, requiring increases in calcium mobilization and activation of protein kinase C.

Isocoumarin-based inhibitors of pancreatic cholesterol esterase.

Project description:Pancreatic cholesterol esterase (CEase), which is secreted from the exocrine pancreas, is a serine hydrolase that aids in the bile salt-dependent hydrolysis of dietary cholesteryl esters and contributes to the hydrolysis of triglycerides and phospholipids. Additional roles for CEase in intestinal micelle formation and in transport of free cholesterol to the enterocyte have been suggested. There also are studies that point to a pathological role(s) for CEase in the circulation where CEase accumulates in atherosclerotic lesions and triggers proliferation of smooth muscle cells. Thus, there is interest in CEase as a potential drug target. 4-Chloro-3-alkoxyisocoumarins are a class of haloenol lactones that inhibit serine hydrolases and serine proteases and have the potential to be suicide inhibitors. In the present study, we have developed 3-alkoxychloroisocoumarins that are potent inhibitors of CEase. These inhibitors were designed to have a saturated cycloalkane ring incorporated into a 3-alkoxy substituent. The size of the ring as well as the length of the tether holding the ring was found to be important contributors to binding to CEase. 4-Chloro-3-(4-cyclohexylbutoxy)isocoumarin and 4-chloro-3-(3-cyclopentylpropoxy)isocoumarin were demonstrated to be potent reversible inhibitors of CEase, with dissociation constants of 11nM and 19nM, respectively. The kinetic results are consistent with predictions from molecular modeling.

Calcium mobilization and Rac1 activation are required for VCAM-1 (vascular cell adhesion molecule-1) stimulation of NADPH oxidase activity.

Project description:VCAM-1 (vascular cell adhesion molecule-1) plays an important role in the regulation of inflammation in atherosclerosis, asthma, inflammatory bowel disease and transplantation. VCAM-1 activates endothelial cell NADPH oxidase, and this oxidase activity is required for VCAM-1-dependent lymphocyte migration. We reported previously that a mouse microvascular endothelial cell line promotes lymphocyte migration that is dependent on VCAM-1, but not on other known adhesion molecules. Here we have investigated the signalling mechanisms underlying VCAM-1 function. Lymphocyte binding to VCAM-1 on the endothelial cell surface activated an endothelial cell calcium flux that could be inhibited with anti-alpha4-integrin and mimicked by anti-VCAM-1-coated beads. VCAM-1 stimulation of calcium responses could be blocked by an inhibitor of intracellular calcium mobilization, a calcium channel inhibitor or a calcium chelator, resulting in the inhibition of NADPH oxidase activity. Addition of ionomycin overcame the calcium channel blocker suppression of VCAM-1-stimulated NADPH oxidase activity, but could not reverse the inhibitory effect imposed by intracellular calcium blockage, indicating that both intracellular and extracellular calcium mobilization are required for VCAM-1-mediated activation of NADPH oxidase. Furthermore, VCAM-1 specifically activated the Rho-family GTPase Rac1, and VCAM-1 activation of NADPH oxidase was blocked by a dominant negative Rac1. Thus VCAM-1 stimulates the mobilization of intracellular and extracellular calcium and Rac1 activity that are required for the activation of NADPH oxidase.

Intracellular Calcium Mobilization Is Required for Sonic Hedgehog Signaling.

Project description:Graded Shh signaling across fields of precursor cells coordinates patterns of gene expression, differentiation, and morphogenetic behavior as precursors form complex structures, such as the nervous system, the limbs, and craniofacial skeleton. Here we discover that intracellular calcium mobilization, a process tightly controlled and readily modulated, regulates the level of Shh-dependent gene expression in responding cells and affects the development of all Shh-dependent cell types in the zebrafish embryo. Reduced expression or modified activity of ryanodine receptor (RyR) intracellular calcium release channels shifted the allocation of Shh-dependent cell fates in the somitic muscle and neural tube. Mosaic analysis revealed that RyR-mediated calcium mobilization is required specifically in Shh ligand-receiving cells. This work reveals that RyR channels participate in intercellular signal transduction events. As modulation of RyR activity modifies tissue patterning, we hypothesize that alterations in intracellular calcium mobilization contribute to both birth defects and evolutionary modifications of morphology.

Multiple calcium sources are required for intracellular calcium mobilization during gastric organoid epithelial repair.

Project description:Calcium (Ca2+ ) is a known accelerator for gastric wound repair. We have demonstrated in vivo and in vitro that intracellular Ca2+ increases in the gastric epithelial cells directly adjacent to a damaged cell, and that this Ca2+ rise is essential for the cellular migration that rapidly repairs the epithelium (restitution). While intracellular Ca2+ has been shown to be an important signaling factor during epithelial restitution, the source from which this intracellular Ca2+ originates remains unclear. Using gastric organoids derived from mice transgenic for a genetically encoded Ca2+ indicator, we sought to investigate the potential sources of intracellular Ca2+ mobilization. During confocal imaging, photodamage (PD) was induced to 1-2 gastric organoid epithelial cells and epithelial restitution measured simultaneously with changes in intracellular Ca2+ (measured as FRET/CFP ratio in migrating cells adjacent to the damaged area). Inhibition of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (verapamil, 10 µM) or store-operated calcium entry (YM58483, 20 µM) resulted in delayed repair and dampened intracellular Ca2+ response. Furthermore, inhibition of phospholipase C (U73122, 10 µM) or inositol trisphosphate receptor (2-APB, 50 µM) likewise resulted in delayed repair and dampened Ca2+ response. Results suggest both extracellular and intracellular Ca2+ sources are essential for supplying the Ca2+ mobilization that stimulates repair.

Critical role for calcium mobilization in activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome.

Project description:The NLRP3 (nucleotide-binding domain, leucine-rich-repeat-containing family, pyrin domain-containing 3) inflammasome mediates production of inflammatory mediators, such as IL-1β and IL-18, and as such is implicated in a variety of inflammatory processes, including infection, sepsis, autoinflammatory diseases, and metabolic diseases. The proximal steps in NLRP3 inflammasome activation are not well understood. Here we elucidate a critical role for Ca(2+) mobilization in activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome by multiple stimuli. We demonstrate that blocking Ca(2+) mobilization inhibits assembly and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome complex, and that during ATP stimulation Ca(2+) signaling is pivotal in promoting mitochondrial damage. C/EPB homologous protein, a transcription factor that can modulate Ca(2+) release from the endoplasmic reticulum, amplifies NLRP3 inflammasome activation, thus linking endoplasmic reticulum stress to activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. Our findings support a model for NLRP3 inflammasome activation by Ca(2+)-mediated mitochondrial damage.

Photodynamic Activation of Cholecystokinin 1 Receptor Is Conserved in Mammalian and Avian Pancreatic Acini.

Project description:Cholecystokinin 1 receptor (CCK1R) is the only G protein coupled receptor that is activated in type II photodynamic action, but whether this is a property common to both mammalian and avian species is not known. In this work, pancreatic acini were isolated from the rat, mouse, and Peking duck, and photodynamic CCK1R activation was examined. Isolated pancreatic acini were exposed to photosensitizer sulphonated aluminum phthalocyanine (SALPC) and photodynamic action elicited by a brief light-emitting diode (LED 675 nm) pulse (1.5 min); photodynamic CCK1R activation was assessed by Fura-2 fluorescent calcium imaging. Photodynamic action was found to induce persistent calcium oscillations in rat, mouse, and Peking duck pancreatic acini, with the sensitivity order of mouse > rat > Peking duck. Photodynamically-activated CCK1R could be inhibited reversibly by CCK1R antagonist devazepide (1 μM); photodynamic CCK1R activation was blocked by pre-incubation with 1O2 quencher Trolox C (300 µM). The sensitivity of photodynamic CCK1R activation was correlated with the increasing size of the disordered region in intracellular loop 3. These data suggest that photodynamic CCK1R activation is conserved in both mammalian and avian species, as evidenced by the presence of the photodynamic activation motif "YFM" in transmembrane domain 3.

Lipoamidase activity in normal and mutagenized pancreatic cholesterol esterase (bile salt-stimulated lipase).

Project description:Purified human milk lipoamidase was digested with endoproteinase Lys-C and the digested peptides were subjected to gasphase microsequence analysis. The sequencing of three isolated peptides of human milk lipoamidase revealed the identity of this protein with human milk bile salt-stimulated lipase (pancreatic cholesterol esterase). The identity of the cholesterol esterase with lipoamidase was confirmed by expressing a recombinant form of rat pancreatic cholesterol esterase and testing for lipoamidase activity of the recombinant protein. The results showed that the recombinant cholesterol esterase displayed both lipolytic and lipoamidase activities and was capable of hydrolysing triacetin and lipoyl-4-aminobenzoate (LPAB). The mechanisms of the esterase and amidase activities of the enzyme were further tested by determining enzyme activity in a mutagenized cholesterol esterase with a His435-->Gln435 substitution. This mutation has been shown previously to abolish enzyme activity against esterase substrates [DiPersio, Fontaine and Hui (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 4033-4036]. We showed that the mutagenized protein was effective in hydrolysing the amidase substrate LPAB and displayed similar enzyme kinetics to those of the native enzyme. These data indicate that the mechanism for the cholesterol esterase hydrolysis of lipoamides is different from that of the hydrolysis of substrates with an ester linkage. The presence of an enzyme in the gastrointestinal tract capable of both ester and amide hydrolysis suggests an important role for this protein in the digestion and absorption processes.

Immunoglobulin-like domain receptor 1 mediates fat-stimulated cholecystokinin secretion.

Project description:Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a satiety hormone produced by discrete enteroendocrine cells scattered among absorptive cells of the small intestine. CCK is released into blood following a meal; however, the mechanisms inducing hormone secretion are largely unknown. Ingested fat is the major stimulant of CCK secretion. We recently identified a novel member of the lipoprotein remnant receptor family known as immunoglobulin-like domain containing receptor 1 (ILDR1) in intestinal CCK cells and postulated that this receptor conveyed the signal for fat-stimulated CCK secretion. In the intestine, ILDR1 is expressed exclusively in CCK cells. Orogastric administration of fatty acids elevated blood levels of CCK in wild type but not ILDR1-deficient mice, although the CCK secretory response to trypsin inhibitor was retained. The uptake of fluorescently labeled lipoproteins in ILDR1-transfected CHO cells and release of CCK from isolated intestinal cells required a unique combination of fatty acid plus HDL. CCK secretion secondary to ILDR1 activation is associated with increased [Ca2+]i consistent with regulated hormone release. These findings demonstrate that ILDR1 regulates CCK release through a mechanism dependent on fatty acids and lipoproteins and that absorbed fatty acids regulate gastrointestinal hormone secretion.

Activation and tyrosine phosphorylation of p72syk as well as calcium mobilization after hydrogen peroxide stimulation in peripheral blood lymphocytes.

Project description:To determine the regulatory role of p72syk in lymphocyte activation, peripheral blood lymphocytes were treated with 10 mM hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide induced a rapid elevation of p72syk activity (4-6-fold) and a dramatic increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of a number of cellular proteins, including phospholipase C gamma 1 (PLC gamma 1) and p72syk. Monoclonal antibodies to PLC gamma 1 co-precipitated p72syk from hydrogen peroxide-stimulated cell lysates, but not from unstimulated cell lysates. Furthermore, we observed a rise in intracellular Ca2+, corresponding to the combination of extracellular Ca2+ influx and the release from intracellular Ca2+ stores. Extracellular Ca2+ influx was necessary for the sustenance of p72syk activity, but not for the initiation of p72syk activation induced by hydrogen peroxide. Taken together, these data suggested that one possible role of p72syk was to activate PLC gamma 1, at least in part through tyrosine phosphorylation, and then to trigger calcium mobilization in pig peripheral blood lymphocytes in response to hydrogen peroxide stimulation.
