A quantitative kinetic model for ATP-induced intracellular Ca2+ oscillations.
Wang Jinhui J Huang Xudong X Huang Weidong W
Journal of theoretical biology 20061116 3
A quantitative kinetic model is proposed to simulate the ATP-induced intracellular Ca(2+) oscillations. The quantitative effect of ATP concentration upon the oscillations was successfully simulated. Our simulation results support previous experimental explanations that the Ca(2+) oscillations are mainly due to interaction of Ca(2+) release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the ATP-dependent Ca(2+) pump back into the ER, and the oscillations are prolonged by extracellular Ca(2+) entry that ...[more]

Abstract:
A quantitative kinetic model is proposed to simulate the ATP-induced intracellular Ca(2+) oscillations. The quantitative effect of ATP concentration upon the oscillations was successfully simulated. Our simulation results support previous experimental explanations that the Ca(2+) oscillations are mainly due to interaction of Ca(2+) release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the ATP-dependent Ca(2+) pump back into the ER, and the oscillations are prolonged by extracellular Ca(2+) entry that maintains the constant Ca(2+) supplies to its intracellular stores. The model is also able to simulate the sudden disappearance phenomenon of the Ca(2+) oscillations observed in some cell types by taking into account of the biphasic characteristic of the Ca(2+) release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Moreover, the model simulation results for the Ca(2+) oscillations characteristics such as duration, peak [Ca(2+)](cyt), and average interval, etc., lead to prediction of some possible factors responsible for the variations of Ca(2+) oscillations in different types of cells.

Project description:The Ca2+ oscillations initiated by the fertilizing sperm (but terminating concomitant with pronucleus formation) apparently ensure that the events constituting egg activation occur in the correct temporal order; early events (e.g., cortical granule exocytosis) require fewer oscillations than later events (e.g., recruitment of maternal mRNA). Whether the Ca2+ signaling events impact long-term development, in particular development to term, is unknown. Using fertilized eggs that have undergone the first few Ca2+ oscillations, we developed procedures that result either in inhibiting or stimulating the natural pattern of Ca2+ signaling of inseminated eggs. Although the incidence of development to the blastocyst stage is unaltered by these procedures, fewer offspring are born following embryo transfer, indicating that developmental competence of the blastocysts is reduced. Interestingly, embryo transfer experiments reveal that when the natural regime of Ca2+ oscillations is precociously interrupted, the incidence of implantation is compromised whereas hyper-stimulation of Ca2+ signaling events compromises post-implantation development. Moreover, although there was no major difference in the overall growth rates of the offspring, those obtained following hyper-stimulation exhibited a far greater variability in their weight. Analysis of global patterns of gene expression by microarray analysis revealed that approximately 20% of the transcripts are mis-regulated when too few oscillations are experienced by the embryo and EASE analysis indicates that genes preferentially involved in RNA processing and polymerase II transcription are differentially affected. In addition, a set of genes involved in cell adhesion is also mis-expressed and could thus be mechanistically linked to the observed reduced implantation. Only about 3% of the transcripts were mis-regulated following hyper-stimulation, and EASE analysis indicates that genes preferentially involved in metabolism are differentially affected. In toto, these results indicate that a range Ca2+ signaling events following fertilization (an excess or reduction) has long-term effects on both gene expression and development to term. Experiment Overall Design: We profiled the global gene expression in the blastocysts by treatment of Ca2+ oscillations, and identified the genes differentially expressed.

A theoretical study on activation of transcription factor modulated by intracellular Ca2+ oscillations.
Zhu CL, Zheng Y, Jia Y

Abstract:
This work presents both deterministic and stochastic models of genetic expression modulated by intracellular calcium (Ca2+) oscillations, based on macroscopic differential equations and chemical Langevin equations, respectively. In deterministic case, the oscillations of intracellular Ca2+ decrease the effective Ca2+ threshold for the activation of transcriptional activator (TF-A). The average activation of TF-A increases with the increase of the average amplitude of intracellular Ca2+ oscillations, but decreases with the increase of the period of intracellular Ca2+ oscillations, which are qualitatively consistent with the experimental results on the gene expression in lymphocytes. In stochastic case, it is found that a large internal fluctuation of the biochemical reaction can enhance gene expression efficiency specifically at a low level of external stimulations or at a small rate of TF-A dimer phosphorylation activated by Ca2+, which reduces the threshold of the average intracellular Ca2+ concentration for gene expression.

Project description:The winged helix transcription factor Foxa2 regulates Pdx1 gene expression and fetal endocrine pancreas development. We show here by inducible gene ablation that Foxa2 inactivation in mature beta-cells induces hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia in Foxa2loxP/loxP, Pdx1-CreERT2 adult mice. Mutant beta-cells exhibited a markedly increased pool of docked insulin granules, some of which were engaged in sequential or compound exocytosis, consistent with an increased first phase glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Expression of multiple genes involved in vesicular trafficking, membrane targeting and fuel-secretion pathways is dependent on Foxa2. In addition, impaired cytosolic Ca2+ oscillations and elevated intracellular cAMP production accompanied this secretory defect, and were likely contributors to the sensitization of the exocytotic machinery. Thus, in the absence of Foxa2, alterations in intracellular second messenger signaling redistribute the insulin granules into the readily releasable pool. We conclude that Foxa2 is required both for the fetal pancreas development and for the function of mature beta-cells.

Project description:Diabetes results from insufficient insulin secretion as a result of dysfunction to β-cells within the islet of Langerhans. Elevated glucose causes β-cell membrane depolarization and action potential generation, voltage gated Ca2+ channel activation and oscillations in free-Ca2+ activity ([Ca2+]), triggering insulin release. Nuclear Factor of Activated T-cell (NFAT) is a transcription factor that is regulated by increases in [Ca2+] and calceineurin (CaN) activation. NFAT regulation links cell activity with gene transcription in many systems, and within the β-cell regulates proliferation and insulin granule biogenesis. However the link between the regulation of β-cell electrical activity and oscillatory [Ca2+], with NFAT activation and downstream transcription is poorly understood. In this study we test whether dynamic changes to β-cell electrical activity and [Ca2+] regulates NFAT activation and downstream transcription. In cell lines, mouse islets and human islets, including those with type2 diabetes, we applied both agonists/antagonists of ion channels together with optogenetics to modulate β-cell electrical activity. Both glucose-induced membrane depolarization and optogenetic-stimulation triggered NFAT activation, and increased transcription of NFAT targets and intermediate early genes (IEGs). Importantly only conditions in which slow sustained [Ca2+] oscillations were generated led to NFAT activation and downstream transcription. In contrast in human islets from donors with type2 diabetes NFAT activation by glucose was diminished, but rescued upon pharmacological stimulation of electrical activity. Thus, we gain insight into the specific patterns of electrical activity that regulate NFAT activation and gene transcription and how this is disrupted in diabetes.

Project description:Inactivating mutations in SMARCA4 and concurrent epigenetic silencing of SMARCA2 characterize subsets of ovarian and lung cancers. Concomitant loss of these key subunits of SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes in both cancers is associated with chemotherapy resistance and poor prognosis. Here, we discover that SMARCA4/2 loss inhibits chemotherapy-induced apoptosis through disrupting intracellular organelle calcium ion (Ca2+) release in these cancers. By restricting chromatin accessibility to ITPR3, encoding Ca2+ channel IP3R3, SMARCA4/2 deficiency causes reduced IP3R3 expression leading to impaired Ca2+ transfer from the endoplasmic reticulum to mitochondria required for apoptosis induction. Reactivation of SMARCA2 by a histone deacetylase inhibitor rescues IP3R3 expression and enhances cisplatin response in SMARCA4/2-deficient cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo. Our findings elucidate the contribution of SMARCA4/2 to Ca2+-dependent apoptosis induction, which may be exploited to enhance chemotherapy response in SMARCA4/2-deficient cancers.

Project description:Objective: To examine the role of carbonic anhydrase II (CA2 gene), the most efficient isoform in the CA family of zinc-containing metalloenzymes, in chondrocyte metabolism. Methods: CA2 expression was measured in human and mouse osteoarthritic cartilage. RNA-seq was performed in C28/I2 cells in which CA2 was silenced. Normal human chondrocytes were cultured under normoxia (21% oxygen) or hypoxia (2% oxygen) following CA2 knockdown. Cell metabolism was studied by measuring extracellular lactate production, glucose consumption, intracellular ADP/ATP, intracellular pH, and ROS production. Glycolysis was measured using Seahorse XF96 analyzer. The effect of CA2 knockdown on anabolic and catabolic markers was measured following treatment with IL-1. Effects of CA2 was examined on cell proliferation, cell-cycle distribution, colony-formation, and migration. Results: CA2 was highly elevated in human and murine osteoarthritic cartilage. RNA-seq analysis revealed that processes related to glycolysis, apoptosis and TNF signaling were perturbed in cells lacking CA2. CA2 expression was 10-fold higher under hypoxia and its knockdown caused decreased extracellular lactate production, increased ADP/ATP ratio, impaired glycolysis, decreased glycolytic capacity and lowered the expression of glycolysis rate-limiting enzymes, but did not affect intracellular pH and ROS production. CA2 deficiency disturbed chondrocyte anabolic and catabolic equilibrium. CA2 knockdown suppressed chondrocyte migration and proliferation and induced cell-cycle arrest. Conclusion: This study unravels a novel role of CA2 in chondrocyte metabolism and inflammation. These findings indicate that CA2 is required for the maintenance of chondrocyte metabolic homeostasis. Future work is needed to further illuminate the mechanistic and functional role of CA2 in osteoarthritis development.

Project description:The spatial architecture of the islets of Langerhans is hypothesized to facilitate synchronized insulin secretion among β cells, yet testing this in vivo in the intact pancreas is challenging. Robo βKO mice, in which the genes Robo1 and Robo2 are deleted selectively in β cells, provide a unique model of altered islet spatial architecture without loss of β cell differentiation or islet damage from diabetes. Combining Robo βKO mice with intravital microscopy, we show here that Robo βKO islets have reduced synchronized intra-islet Ca2+ oscillations among β cells in vivo. We provide evidence that this loss is not due to a β cell-intrinsic function of Robo, mis-expression or mis-localization of Cx36 gap junctions, or changes in islet vascularization or innervation, suggesting that the islet architecture itself is required for synchronized Ca2+ oscillations. These results have implications for understanding structure-function relationships in the islets during progression to diabetes as well as engineering islets from stem cells.
