Here, using fluorescent dyes, the time course of endocytosis induced by intense activity of the phrenic nerve was studied at the mouse diaphragm neuromuscular junction. It was found that a significant portion of endocytic events occurs after the end of tetanic stimulation. Pitstop 2, clathrin inhibitor, and more profoundly dynole 34-2, dynamin antagonist, suppressed endocytic FM1-43 dye uptake both during and after tetanus. Furthermore, synaptic vesicles formed in the presence of the endocytic blockers released FM-dye during subsequent evoked exocytosis at a lower rate. 25-Hydroxycholesterol (25HC) is an oxysterol, ubiquitously synthetized from excessive cholesterol. In addition, its production greatly increases by activated macrophages. 25HC accelerated FM-dye endocytosis and its sequential evoked exocytosis, and dynole (but not pitstop) prevented 25HC-mediated enhancement of endocytic FM-dye uptake. The positive effects of 25HC were interfered with chelation of cytosolic Ca<sup>2+</sup> with a slow Ca<sup>2+</sup> buffer EGTA-AM, Ca<sup>2+</sup> antagonist TMB8, and sphingomyelin-hydrolyzing enzyme. In contrast to amphiphilic FM1-43 dye capture, 25HC reduced uptake of hydrophilic high molecular weight markers (labeled dextrans and toxin), which utilize bulk endocytosis to enter into nerve terminals. Thus, synaptic vesicle endocytosis had a relatively slow kinetics following the tetanic activity and can be accelerated by 25HC.

The bilateral inhibition of the VTA almost abolished the LHb-induced respiratory responses.

Upon phosphate exposure, intricate signaling events orchestrate pro-calcific effects in the vasculature mediated by vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1) produces sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and is associated with complex effects in the vascular system. The present study investigated a possible involvement of SPHK1 in VSMC calcification. Experiments were performed in primary human aortic VSMCs under pro-calcific conditions, with pharmacological inhibition or knockdown of SPHK1 or SPNS2 (a lysolipid transporter involved in cellular S1P export), as well as in Sphk1-deficient and wild-type mice treated with cholecalciferol. In VSMCs, SPHK1 expression was up-regulated by pro-calcific conditions. Calcification medium up-regulated osteogenic marker mRNA expression and activity as well as calcification of VSMCs, effects significantly augmented by co-treatment with the SPHK1 inhibitor SK1-IN-1. SK1-IN-1 alone was sufficient to up-regulate osteogenic signaling in VSMCs during control conditions. Similarly, the SPHK1 inhibitor PF-543 and SPHK1 knockdown up-regulated osteogenic signaling in VSMCs and aggravated VSMC calcification. In contrast, co-treatment with the SPNS2 inhibitor SLF1081851 suppressed osteogenic signaling and calcification of VSMCs, effects abolished by silencing of SPHK1. In addition, Sphk1 deficiency aggravated vascular calcification and aortic osteogenic marker expression in mice after cholecalciferol overload. In conclusion, SPHK1 inhibition, knockdown, or deficiency aggravates vascular pro-calcific signaling and calcification. The reduced calcification after inhibition of S1P export suggests a possible involvement of intracellular S1P, but further studies are required to elucidate the complex roles of SPHKs and S1P signaling in calcifying VSMCs.</p>","PeriodicalId":19954,"journal":{"name":"Pflugers Archiv : European journal of physiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143080789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
