CADP-ribose potentiates cytosolic Ca2+ elevation and Ca2+ entry via L-type voltage-activated Ca2+ channels in NG108-15 neuronal cells.

ABSTRACT: The effects of cADP-ribose (cADPR), a metabolite of beta-NAD(+), on the elevation of cytoplasmic free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) and Ca(2+) influx through voltage-activated Ca(2+) channels (VACCs) were studied in NG108-15 neuroblastomaxglioma hybrid cells. NG108-15 cells were pre-loaded with fura-2 and whole-cell patch-clamped. Application of cADPR through patch pipettes did not by itself trigger any [Ca(2+)](i) rise at the resting membrane potential. A rise in [Ca(2+)](i) was evoked upon sustained membrane depolarization, and was significantly larger in cADPR-infused cells than in non-infused cells. This potentiation in the [Ca(2+)](i) elevation was reproduced by infusion of beta-NAD(+), and was blocked by 8-bromo-cADPR and antagonized by external application of ryanodine or by pretreatment of cells with FK506. Nicotinamide inhibited beta-NAD(+)-induced, but not cADPR-elicited, potentiation. [Ca(2+)](i) increases or Ca(2+) influx, measured by Mn(2+) quenching, elicited by the same protocol of depolarization was blocked completely by nifedipine but not by omega-conotoxin. Ca(2+) influx in cADPR- or beta-NAD(+)-infused cells was steeper and greater than that in control cells, and was inhibited partly by ryanodine. In contrast, ryanodine accelerated Ca(2+) influx in non-infused cells. These results show that cADPR amplifies both depolarization-induced [Ca(2+)](i) increase and Ca(2+) influx through L-type VACCs. These results suggest that cADPR functions on ryanodine receptors as a direct agonist and also interacts with L-type VACCs as an indirect agonist, i.e. via a retrograde signal.

Project description:PurposeThis study investigated possible mechanisms of autoregulation of Ca(2+) signalling pathways in adipocytes responsible for Ca(2+) and NO oscillations and switching phenomena promoted by acetylcholine (ACh), norepinephrine (NE) and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP).MethodsFluorescent microscopy was used to detect changes in Ca(2+) and NO in cultures of rodent white adipocytes. Agonists and inhibitors were applied to characterize the involvement of various enzymes and Ca(2+)-channels in Ca(2+) signalling pathways.ResultsACh activating M3-muscarinic receptors and G?? protein dependent phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase induces Ca(2+) and NO oscillations in adipocytes. At low concentrations of ACh which are insufficient to induce oscillations, NE or ?1, ?2-adrenergic agonists act by amplifying the effect of ACh to promote Ca(2+) oscillations or switching phenomena. SNAP, 8-Br-cAMP, NAD and ANP may also produce similar set of dynamic regimes. These regimes arise from activation of the ryanodine receptor (RyR) with the implication of a long positive feedback loop (PFL): Ca(2+)?NO?cGMP?cADPR?Ca(2+), which determines periodic or steady operation of a short PFL based on Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release via RyR by generating cADPR, a coagonist of Ca(2+) at the RyR. Interplay between these two loops may be responsible for the observed effects. Several other PFLs, based on activation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase or of protein kinase B by Ca(2+)-dependent kinases, may reinforce functioning of main PFL and enhance reliability. All observed regimes are independent of operation of the phospholipase C/Ca(2+)-signalling axis, which may be switched off due to negative feedback arising from phosphorylation of the inositol-3-phosphate receptor by protein kinase G.ConclusionsThis study presents a kinetic model of Ca(2+)-signalling system operating in adipocytes and integrating signals from various agonists, which describes it as multivariable multi feedback network with a family of nested positive feedback.
