Light stimulates the rapid formation of inositol trisphosphate in squid retinas.

ABSTRACT: To test the hypothesis that inositol trisphosphate (InsP3) mediates adaptation and excitation in invertebrate photoreceptors, we measured its formation on a rapid time scale in squid retinas. For squid, excitation and adaption occurs within 0.1 and 1-2 s respectively. We could detect an elevation in InsP3 within 200 ms of a bright flash. This increase is about 240% over dark basal levels and is maintained for at least 2 min after a flash. The increase probably occurs in the photoreceptors, which are the only neurons in squid retinas. Analysis by h.p.l.c. indicates that the light-regulated isomer is Ins(1,4,5)P3, which is formed by the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate (PtdInsP2).

RANTES stimulates Ca2+ mobilization and inositol trisphosphate (IP3) formation in cells transfected with G protein-coupled receptor 75.

Project description:Background and purposeRANTES is an inflammatory chemokine with a critical role in T-lymphocyte activation and proliferation. Its effects are mediated through G protein-coupled heptahelical receptors (GPCRs). We show for the first time that RANTES activates the orphan G protein-coupled receptor 75 (GPR75).Experimental approachTo identify a ligand for GPR75 we have used three different and independent methods, namely luciferase assay, bioluminescence assay and IP3 accumulation assay.Key resultsTreatment of cells expressing GPR75 with subnanomolar concentrations of RANTES led to stimulation of the luciferase activity in a reporter-gene assay, an increase in inositol trisphosphate, and intracellular Ca2+. The latter effect was blocked by the phospholipase-C inhibitor (PLC) U73122 indicating that Gq proteins mediate GPR75 signaling. RANTES enhanced the phosphorylation of AKT and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in GPR75-transfected cells and this effect was blocked by the PLC inhibitor U73122 and the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor, wortmannin. The hippocampal cell line HT22, which expresses GPR75 endogenously, but not the other known RANTES receptors, was used to study the effects of RANTES and GPR75 on neuronal survival. Treatment of HT22 cells with RANTES significantly reduced the neurotoxicity of amyloid-beta peptides, by activating PLC and PI3K.Conclusions and implicationsThis demonstrate clearly and undoubtedly the ability of RANTES to act on GPR75. Defects in the RANTES/GPR75-signaling pathway may contribute to neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative processes as observed in Alzheimer's disease.

Collagen stimulates [3H]inositol trisphosphate formation in indomethacin-treated human platelets.

Project description:The present study investigates the pathway of metabolism of inositol phospholipids in human platelets exposed to collagen. Platelet activation by collagen was preceded by a lag phase usually lasting 10-20 s. Formation of [3H]inositol trisphosphate (IP3) was not observed during this period, but occurred in parallel with the onset of aggregation, release of ATP and phosphorylation of a 20 000 Da and a 40 000 Da protein. Indomethacin treatment partially inhibited all of these responses. Aggregation and ATP release, but not IP3 formation, were further inhibited in indomethacin-treated platelets loaded with the fluorescent Ca2+ indicator, quin2. Under these conditions there was no detectable mobilization of Ca2+. These results demonstrate that activation of platelets by collagen is associated with rapid hydrolysis of polyphosphoinositides by phospholipase C, thereby producing IP3. This observation is discussed in relation to IP3 as a possible Ca2+-mobilizing agent.

Inositol trisphosphate receptor-mediated Ca2+ signalling stimulates mitochondrial function and gene expression in core myopathy patients.

Project description:Core myopathies are a group of childhood muscle disorders caused by mutations of the ryanodine receptor (RyR1), the Ca2+ release channel of the sarcoplasmic reticulum. These mutations have previously been associated with elevated inositol trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) levels in skeletal muscle myotubes derived from patients. However, the functional relevance and the relationship of IP3R mediated Ca2+ signalling with the pathophysiology of the disease is unclear. It has also been suggested that mitochondrial dysfunction underlies the development of central and diffuse multi-mini-cores, devoid of mitochondrial activity, which is a key pathological consequence of RyR1 mutations. Here we used muscle biopsies of central core and multi-minicore disease patients with RyR1 mutations, as well as cellular and in vivo mouse models of the disease to characterize global cellular and mitochondrial Ca2+ signalling, mitochondrial function and gene expression associated with the disease. We show that RyR1 mutations that lead to the depletion of the channel are associated with increased IP3-mediated nuclear and mitochondrial Ca2+ signals and increased mitochondrial activity. Moreover, western blot and microarray analysis indicated enhanced mitochondrial biogenesis at the transcriptional and protein levels and was reflected in increased mitochondrial DNA content. The phenotype was recapitulated by RYR1 silencing in mouse cellular myotube models. Altogether, these data indicate that remodelling of skeletal muscle Ca2+ signalling following loss of functional RyR1 mediates bioenergetic adaptation.

Mammalian inositol polyphosphate multikinase synthesizes inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and an inositol pyrophosphate.

Project description:Using a consensus sequence in inositol phosphate kinase, we have identified and cloned a 44-kDa mammalian inositol phosphate kinase with broader catalytic capacities than any other member of the family and which we designate mammalian inositol phosphate multikinase (mIPMK). By phosphorylating inositol 4,5-bisphosphate, mIPMK provides an alternative biosynthesis for inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P(3)]. mIPMK also can form the pyrophosphate disphosphoinositol tetrakisphosphate (PP-InsP(4)) from InsP(5). Additionally, mIPMK forms InsP(4) from Ins(1,4,5)P(3) and InsP(5) from Ins(1,3,4,5)P(4).

Rapid ligand-regulated gating kinetics of single inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor Ca2+ release channels.

Project description:The ubiquitous inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP(3)R) intracellular Ca(2+) release channel is engaged by thousands of plasma membrane receptors to generate Ca(2+) signals in all cells. Understanding how complex Ca(2+) signals are generated has been hindered by a lack of information on the kinetic responses of the channel to its primary ligands, InsP(3) and Ca(2+), which activate and inhibit channel gating. Here, we describe the kinetic responses of single InsP(3)R channels in native endoplasmic reticulum membrane to rapid ligand concentration changes with millisecond resolution, using a new patch-clamp configuration. The kinetics of channel activation and deactivation showed novel Ca(2+) regulation and unexpected ligand cooperativity. The kinetics of Ca(2+)-mediated channel inhibition showed the single-channel bases for fundamental Ca(2+) release events and Ca(2+) release refractory periods. These results provide new insights into the channel regulatory mechanisms that contribute to complex spatial and temporal features of intracellular Ca(2+) signals.

Inositol Trisphosphate Receptor Mediated Ca2+ Signalling Stimulates Mitochondrial Function and Gene Expression in Core Myopathy Patients [Mouse arrays]

Project description:Elevated inositol trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) levels have been previously reported in skeletal muscle myotubes derived from patients with ryanodine receptor 1 (RyR1) mutation related core myopathies. However, the functional relevance and the relationship of IP3R mediated Ca2+ signalling with the pathophysiology of the disease is unclear. It has also been suggested that mitochondrial dysfunction underlies the development of central and diffuse multi-mini-cores, devoid of mitochondrial activity, a key pathological consequence of RyR1 mutations. Here we used muscle biopsies of central core and multi-minicore disease patients with RyR1 mutations, as well as cellular and in vivo mouse models of the disease to characterise whole genome and mitochondrial gene expression to assess if remodeling of skeletal muscle following loss of functional RyR1 mediates bioenergetic adaptation.

Selective determinants of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and adenophostin A interactions with type 1 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors.

Project description:Background and purposeAdenophostin A (AdA) is a potent agonist of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP(3) R). AdA shares with IP(3) the essential features of all IP(3) R agonists, namely structures equivalent to the 4,5-bisphosphate and 6-hydroxyl of IP(3) , but the basis of its increased affinity is unclear. Hitherto, the 2'-phosphate of AdA has been thought to provide a supra-optimal mimic of the 1-phosphate of IP(3) .Experimental approachWe examined the structural determinants of AdA binding to type 1 IP(3) R (IP(3) R1). Chemical synthesis and mutational analysis of IP(3) R1 were combined with (3) H-IP(3) binding to full-length IP(3) R1 and its N-terminal fragments, and Ca(2+) release assays from recombinant IP(3) R1 expressed in DT40 cells.Key resultsAdenophostin A is at least 12-fold more potent than IP(3) in functional assays, and the IP(3) -binding core (IBC, residues 224-604 of IP(3) R1) is sufficient for this high-affinity binding of AdA. Removal of the 2'-phosphate from AdA (to give 2'-dephospho-AdA) had significantly lesser effects on its affinity for the IBC than did removal of the 1-phosphate from IP(3) (to give inositol 4,5-bisphosphate). Mutation of the only residue (R568) that interacts directly with the 1-phosphate of IP(3) decreased similarly (by ~30-fold) the affinity for IP(3) and AdA, but mutating R504, which has been proposed to form a cation-π interaction with the adenine of AdA, more profoundly reduced the affinity of IP(3) R for AdA (353-fold) than for IP(3) (13-fold).Conclusions and implicationsThe 2'-phosphate of AdA is not a major determinant of its high affinity. R504 in the receptor, most likely via a cation-π interaction, contributes specifically to AdA binding.

Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate formation in Ca2+-mobilizing-hormone-activated cells.

Project description:The inositol trisphosphate liberated on stimulation of guinea-pig hepatocytes, pancreatic acinar cells and dimethyl sulphoxide-differentiated human myelomonocytic HL-60 leukaemia cells is composed of two isomers, the 1,4,5-trisphosphate and the 1,3,4-trisphosphate. Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate was released rapidly, with no measurable latency on hormone stimulation, and, consistent with its proposed role as an intracellular messenger for Ca2+ mobilization, there was good temporal correlation between its formation and Ca2+-mediated events in these tissues. There was a definite latency before an increase in the formation of inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate could be detected. In all of these tissues, however, it formed a substantial proportion of the total inositol trisphosphate by 1 min of stimulation. In guinea-pig hepatocytes, where inositol trisphosphate increases for at least 30 min after hormone application, inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate made up about 90% of the total inositol trisphosphate by 5-10 min. In pancreatic acinar cells, pretreatment with 20 mM-Li+ caused an increase in hormone-induced inositol trisphosphate accumulation. This increase was accounted for by a rise in inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate; inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate was unaffected. This finding is consistent with the observation that Li+ has no effect on Ca2+-mediated responses in these cells. The role, if any, of inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate in cellular function is unknown.
