Intracellular calcium stores and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor in rat liver cells.

ABSTRACT: The D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] receptor was localized by immunofluorescence experiments in situ in liver cryosections. Two anti-Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor antibodies (against the 14 C-terminal residues of the type 1 receptor or against the entire cerebellar receptor) weakly decorated the whole cytoplasm, and a more intense labelling was observed at the periphery of the hepatocytes, particularly beneath the canalicular and the sinusoidal domains of the plasma membrane (PM). Antibodies against calreticulin, the Ca2+ pump (SERCA2b) or endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes homogeneously labelled the cytoplasm and the subplasmalemmal area. These data indicate that the ER can be divided into at least two specialized subregions: one is located throughout most of the cytoplasm and contains markers of the rough ER (RER), calreticulin, SERCA2b and a low density of Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor, and the other is confined to the periphery of the cells and contains calreticulin, Ca2+ pump, RER markers and a high density of Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor. A membrane fraction enriched in Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor and in markers of the PM was immuno-adsorbed with the antibody against the C-terminal end of the Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor and pelleted with Sepharose protein A. The immuno-isolated material was enriched in Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor, but none of the markers of the ER or of the PM could be detected. This suggests that the Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor is localized on discrete domains of the ER membrane beneath the canalicular and the sinusoidal membranes, where it was found at higher densities than the other markers.

Cyclic AMP directs inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate-evoked Ca2+ signalling to different intracellular Ca2+ stores.

Project description:Cholesterol depletion reversibly abolishes carbachol-evoked Ca(2+) release from inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate (IP3)-sensitive stores, without affecting the distribution of IP3 receptors (IP3R) or endoplasmic reticulum, IP3 formation or responses to photolysis of caged IP3. Receptors that stimulate cAMP formation do not alone evoke Ca(2+) signals, but they potentiate those evoked by carbachol. We show that these potentiated signals are entirely unaffected by cholesterol depletion and that, within individual cells, different IP3-sensitive Ca(2+) stores are released by carbachol alone and by carbachol combined with receptors that stimulate cAMP formation. We suggest that muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in lipid rafts deliver IP3 at high concentration to associated IP3R, stimulating them to release Ca(2+). Muscarinic receptors outside rafts are less closely associated with IP3R and provide insufficient local IP3 to activate IP3R directly. These IP3R, probably type 2 IP3R within a discrete Ca(2+) store, are activated only when their sensitivity is increased by cAMP. Sensitization of IP3R by cAMP extends the effective range of signalling by phospholipase C, allowing muscarinic receptors that are otherwise ineffective to recruit additional IP3-sensitive Ca(2+) stores.

Hepatic Inositol 1,4,5 Trisphosphate Receptor Type 1 Mediates Fatty Liver.

Project description:Fatty liver is the most common type of liver disease, affecting nearly one third of the US population and more than half a billion people worldwide. Abnormalities in ER calcium handling and mitochondrial function each have been implicated in abnormal lipid droplet formation. Here we show that the type 1 isoform of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP3R1) specifically links ER calcium release to mitochondrial calcium signaling and lipid droplet formation in hepatocytes. Moreover, liver-specific InsP3R1 knockout mice have impaired mitochondrial calcium signaling, decreased hepatic triglycerides, reduced lipid droplet formation and are resistant to development of fatty liver. Patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, the most malignant form of fatty liver, have increased hepatic expression of InsP3R1 and the extent of ER-mitochondrial co-localization correlates with the degree of steatosis in human liver biopsies.ConclusionInsP3R1 plays a central role in lipid droplet formation in hepatocytes and the data suggest that it is involved in the development of human fatty liver disease.

Signaling microdomains regulate inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-mediated intracellular calcium transients in cultured neurons.

Project description:Ca2+ signals in neurons use specific temporal and spatial patterns to encode unambiguous information about crucial cellular functions. To understand the molecular basis for initiation and propagation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3)-mediated intracellular Ca2+ signals, we correlated the subcellular distribution of components of the InsP3 pathway with measurements of agonist-induced intracellular Ca2+ transients in cultured rat hippocampal neurons and pheochromocytoma cells. We found specialized domains with high levels of phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate kinase (PIPKI) and chromogranin B (CGB), proteins acting synergistically to increase InsP3 receptor (InsP3R) activity and sensitivity. In contrast, Ca2+ pumps in the plasma membrane (PMCA) and sarco-endoplasmic reticulum as well as buffers that antagonize the rise in intracellular Ca2+ were distributed uniformly. By pharmacologically blocking phosphatidylinositol-4-kinase and PIPKI or disrupting the CGB-InsP3R interaction by transfecting an interfering polypeptide fragment, we produced major changes in the initiation site and kinetics of the Ca2+ signal. This study shows that a limited number of proteins can reassemble to form unique, spatially restricted signaling domains to generate distinctive signals in different regions of the same neuron. The finding that the subcellular location of initiation sites and protein microdomains was cell type specific will help to establish differences in spatiotemporal Ca2+ signaling in different types of neurons.

Distribution of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors in rat osteoclasts.

Project description:Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptors (IP3Rs) are Ca2+ channels that localize to intracellular Ca2+ stores such as the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Recently, IP3Rs were found to participate in the formation of the cytoskeleton and cellular adhesions. In this study, we examined the cellular localization of type I, II, and III IP3Rs to assess their role in cellular adhesion in rat osteoclasts. Rat bone marrow cells were cultured in alpha-MEM with 10% fetal bovine serum, M-CSF, RANKL, and 1,25(OH)2D3 for 1 week to promote osteoclast formation. Type I, II, and III IP3R expression in the osteoclasts was then examined by RT-PCR. Double-staining was performed using antibodies against type I, II, and III IP3Rs and DiOC6, an ER marker, or TRITC-phalloidin, an actin filament marker. Expression of all three IP3Rs was detected in the newly formed osteoclasts; however, the localization of the type I and II IP3Rs was predominantly close to nuclear, and possibly colocalized with the ER, while the type III IP3Rs were localized to the ER and podosomes, actin-rich adhesion structures in osteoclasts. These findings suggest that type III IP3Rs are associated with osteoclast adhesion.

Modulation of mammalian inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor isoforms by calcium: a role of calcium sensor region.

Project description:In the accompanying article, we compared main functional properties of the three mammalian inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (InsP3R) isoforms. In this article we focused on modulation of mammalian InsP3R isoforms by cytosolic Ca2+. We found that: 1), when recorded in the presence of 2 microM InsP3 and 0.5 mM ATP all three mammalian InsP3R isoforms display bell-shaped Ca2+ dependence in physiological range of Ca2+ concentrations (pCa 8-5); 2), in the same experimental conditions InsP3R3 is most sensitive to modulation by Ca2+ (peak at 107 nM Ca2+), followed by InsP3R2 (peak at 154 nM Ca2+), and then by InsP3R1 (peak at 257 nM Ca2+); 3), increase in ATP concentration to 5 mM had no significant effect of Ca2+ dependence of InsP3R1 and InsP3R2; 4), increase in ATP concentration to 5 mM converted Ca2+ dependence of InsP3R3 from "narrow" shape to "square" shape; 5), ATP-induced change in the shape of InsP3R3 Ca2+ dependence was mainly due to an >200-fold reduction in the apparent affinity of the Ca2+-inhibitory site; 6), the apparent Ca2+ affinity of the Ca2+ sensor region (Cas) determined in biochemical experiments is equal to 0.23 microM Ca2+ for RT1-Cas, 0.16 microM Ca2+ for RT2-Cas, and 0.10 microM Ca2+ for RT3-Cas; and 7), Ca2+ sensitivity of InsP3R1 and InsP3R3 isoforms recorded in the presence of 2 microM InsP3 and 0.5 mM ATP or 2 microM InsP3 and 5 mM ATP can be exchanged by swapping their Cas regions. Obtained results provide novel information about functional properties of mammalian InsP3R isoforms and support the importance of the Ca2+ sensor region (Cas) in determining the sensitivity of InsP3R isoforms to modulation by Ca2+.

Tespa1 regulates T cell receptor-induced calcium signals by recruiting inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors.

Project description:Thymocyte-expressed, positive selection-associated 1 (Tespa1) is important in T cell receptor (TCR)-driven thymocyte development. Downstream of the TCR, Tespa1 is a crucial component of the linker for activation of T cells (LAT) signalosome, facilitating calcium signalling and subsequent MAPK activation. However, it is unknown how Tespa1 elicits calcium signalling. Here, we show that inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor type 1 (IP3R1) is crucial for Tespa1-optimized, TCR-induced Ca2+ flux and thymocyte development. Upon TCR stimulation, Tespa1 directly interacts with IP3R1 and recruits it to the TCR complex, where IP3R1 is phosphorylated at Y353 by Fyn. This Tespa1-IP3R1 interaction is mediated by the F187 and F188 residues of Tespa1 and the amino-terminus of IP3R1. Tespa1-F187A/F188A mutant mice phenocopy Tespa1-deficient mice with impaired late thymocyte development due to reduced IP3R1 translocation to the TCR-proximal region. Our work elucidates the function of Tespa1 in T cell development and the regulation of TCR-induced Ca2+ signalling through IP3R1.

Functional and biochemical analysis of the type 1 inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate receptor calcium sensor.

Project description:Modulation of the type 1 inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate receptors (InsP(3)R1) by cytosolic calcium (Ca(2+)) plays an essential role in their signaling function, but structural determinants and mechanisms responsible for the InsP(3)R1 regulation by Ca(2+) are poorly understood. Using DT40 cell expression system and Ca(2+) imaging assay, in our previous study we identified a critical role of E2100 residue in the InsP(3)R1 modulation by Ca(2+). By using intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence measurements in the present study we determined that the putative InsP(3)R1 Ca(2+)-sensor region (E1932-R2270) binds Ca(2+) with 0.16 micro M affinity. We further established that E2100D and E2100Q mutations decrease Ca(2+)-binding affinity of the putative InsP(3)R1 Ca(2+)-sensor region to 1 micro M. In planar lipid bilayer experiments with recombinant InsP(3)R1 expressed in Spodoptera frugiperda cells we discovered that E2100D and E2100Q mutations shifted the peak of the InsP(3)R1 bell-shaped Ca(2+) dependence from 0.2 micro M to 1.5 micro M Ca(2+). In agreement with the biochemical data, we found that the apparent affinities of Ca(2+) activating and inhibitory sites of the InsP(3)R1 were 0.2 micro M for the wild-type channels and 1-2 micro M Ca(2+) for the E2100D and E2100Q mutants. The results obtained in our study support the hypothesis that E2100 residue forms a part of the InsP(3)R1 Ca(2+) sensor.

The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (Itpr) gene family in Xenopus: identification of type 2 and type 3 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor subtypes.

Project description:Studies in the Xenopus model system have provided considerable insight into the developmental role of intracellular Ca2+ signals produced by activation of IP3Rs (inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors). However, unlike mammalian systems where three IP3R subtypes have been well characterized, our molecular understanding of the IP3Rs that underpin Ca2+ signalling during Xenopus embryogenesis relate solely to the original characterization of the 'Xenopus IP3R' cloned and purified from Xenopus laevis oocytes several years ago. In the present study, we have identified Xenopus type 2 and type 3 IP3Rs and report the full-length sequence, genomic architecture and developmental expression profile of these additional IP3R subtypes. In the light of the emerging genomic resources and opportunities for genetic manipulation in the diploid frog Xenopus tropicalis, these data will facilitate manipulations to resolve the contribution of IP3R diversity in Ca2+ signalling events observed during vertebrate development.

Paclitaxel induces calcium oscillations via an inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor and neuronal calcium sensor 1-dependent mechanism.

Project description:Taxol (Paclitaxel) is an important natural product for the treatment of solid tumors. Despite a well documented tubulin-stabilizing effect, many side effects of taxol therapy cannot be explained by cytoskeletal mechanisms. In the present study submicromolar concentrations of taxol, mimicking concentrations found in patients, induced cytosolic calcium (Ca(2+)) oscillations in a human neuronal cell line. These oscillations were independent of extracellular and mitochondrial Ca(2+) but dependent on intact signaling via the phosphoinositide signaling pathway. We identified a taxol binding protein, neuronal Ca(2+) sensor 1 (NCS-1), a Ca(2+) binding protein that interacts with the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor from a human brain cDNA phage display library. Taxol increased binding of NCS-1 to the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor. Short hairpin RNA-mediated knockdown of NCS-1 in the same cell line abrogated the response to taxol but not to other agonists stimulating the phosphoinositide signaling pathway. These findings are important for studies involving taxol as a research tool in cell biology and may help to devise new strategies for the management of side effects induced by taxol therapy.

A Comparative Perspective on Functionally-Related, Intracellular Calcium Channels: The Insect Ryanodine and Inositol 1,4,5-Trisphosphate Receptors.

Project description:Calcium (Ca2+) homeostasis is vital for insect development and metabolism, and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a major intracellular reservoir for Ca2+. The inositol 1,4,5- triphosphate receptor (IP3R) and ryanodine receptor (RyR) are large homotetrameric channels associated with the ER and serve as two major actors in ER-derived Ca2+ supply. Most of the knowledge on these receptors derives from mammalian systems that possess three genes for each receptor. These studies have inspired work on synonymous receptors in insects, which encode a single IP3R and RyR. In the current review, we focus on a fundamental, common question: "why do insect cells possess two Ca2+ channel receptors in the ER?". Through a comparative approach, this review covers the discovery of RyRs and IP3Rs, examines their structures/functions, the pathways that they interact with, and their potential as target sites in pest control. Although insects RyRs and IP3Rs share structural similarities, they are phylogenetically distinct, have their own structural organization, regulatory mechanisms, and expression patterns, which explains their functional distinction. Nevertheless, both have great potential as target sites in pest control, with RyRs currently being targeted by commercial insecticide, the diamides.
