Although most studies indicated that a decreasing intraluminal Ca²⁺ level led to an inhibition of the IP₃R, a number of publications reported exactly the opposite effect, i.e. an inhibition of the IP₃R by high intraluminal Ca²⁺ levels. Although intraluminal Ca²⁺-binding sites on the IP₃Rs were reported, a regulatory role for them was not demonstrated. It is also well known that the IP₃R is regulated by a vast array of associated proteins, but only relatively recently proteins were identified that can be linked to the regulation of the IP₃R by intraluminal Ca²⁺. The first to be reported was annexin A1 that is proposed to associate with the second intraluminal loop of the IP₃R at high intraluminal Ca²⁺ levels and to inhibit the IP₃R. More recently, ERdj5/PDIA19 reductase was described to reduce an intraluminal disulfide bridge of IP₃R1 only at low intraluminal Ca²⁺ levels and thereby to inhibit the IP₃R. Annexin A1 and ERdj5/PDIA19 can therefore explain most of the experimental results on the regulation of the IP₃R by intraluminal Ca²⁺. Further studies are needed to provide a fuller understanding of the regulation of the IP₃R from the intraluminal side. These findings underscore the importance of the state of the endoplasmic reticulum in the control of IP₃R activity.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":9678,"journal":{"name":"Cell calcium","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134688843","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ca²⁺ homeostasis is achieved by a delicate pump/leak balance both at the plasma membrane and at the endomembranes, and improper Ca²⁺ levels result in malfunction and disease. Selective intraorganellar Ca²⁺measurements are best achieved by using targeted genetically encoded Ca²⁺ indicators (GECIs) but to calibrate the luminal fluorescent signals into accurate [Ca²⁺] is challenging, especially <em>in vivo</em>, due to the difficulty to normalize and calibrate the fluorescent signal in various tissues or conditions. We report here a procedure to calibrate the ratiometric signal of GAP (GFP-Aequorin Protein) targeted to the endo-sarcoplasmic reticulum (ER/SR) into [Ca²⁺]_ER/SR based on imaging of fluorescence after heating the tissue at 50–52 °C, since this value coincides with that obtained in the absence of Ca²⁺ (R_min). Knowledge of the dynamic range (R_max/R_min) and the Ca²⁺-affinity (K_D) of the indicator permits calculation of [Ca²⁺] by applying a simple algorithm. We have validated this procedure <em>in vitro</em> using several cell types (HeLa, HEK 293T and mouse astrocytes), as well as <em>in vivo</em> in <em>Drosophila</em>.

Abnormal calcium handling and diastolic dysfunction are archetypical features of HCM caused by <em>MYH7</em> gene mutations. However, the mechanism of how MYH7 mutations leads to these features remains unclear, which inhibits the development of effective therapies. Initially, cardiomyocytes were generated from induced pluripotent stem cells from an eight-year-old girl diagnosed with HCM carrying a <em>MYH7</em>(C.1063 <em>G</em>&gt;<em>A</em>) heterozygous mutation(mutant-iPSC-CMs) and mutation-corrected isogenic iPSCs(control-iPSC-CMs) in the present study. Next, we compared phenotype of mutant-iPSC-CMs to that of control-iPSC-CMs, by assessing their morphology, hypertrophy-related genes expression, calcium handling, diastolic function and myofilament calcium sensitivity at days 15 and 40 respectively. Finally, to better understand increased myofilament Ca²⁺ sensitivity as a central mechanism of central pathogenicity in HCM, inhibition of calcium sensitivity with mavacamten can improveed cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. Mutant-iPSC-CMs exhibited enlarged areas, increased sarcomere disarray, enhanced expression of hypertrophy-related genes proteins, abnormal calcium handling, diastolic dysfunction and increased myofilament calcium sensitivity at day 40, but only significant increase in calcium sensitivity and mild diastolic dysfunction at day 15. Increased calcium sensitivity by levosimendan aggravates cardiomyocyte hypertrophy phenotypes such as expression of hypertrophy-related genes, abnormal calcium handling and diastolic dysfunction, while inhibition of calcium sensitivity significantly improves cardiomyocyte hypertrophy phenotypes in mutant-iPSC-CMs, suggesting increased myofilament calcium sensitivity is the primary mechanisms for <em>MYH7</em> mutations pathogenesis. Our studies have uncovered a pathogenic mechanism of HCM caused by <em>MYH7</em> gene mutations through which enhanced myofilament calcium sensitivity aggravates abnormal calcium handling and diastolic dysfunction. Correction of the myofilament calcium sensitivity was found to be an effective method for treating the development of HCM phenotype <em>in vitro.</em></p></div>","PeriodicalId":9678,"journal":{"name":"Cell calcium","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0143416023001331/pdfft?md5=d6cc6dca2cba78e93c981fb221e8889e&pid=1-s2.0-S0143416023001331-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135515040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Further, CaMKKβ/2 in mammalian species comprises multiple alternatively spliced variants; however, their functional differences or redundancy remain unclear. In this study, we aimed to characterize mouse CaMKKβ/2 splice variants (CaMKKβ-3 and β-3x). RT-PCR analyses revealed that mouse <em>CaMKKβ-1</em>, consisting of 17 exons, was predominantly expressed in the brain; whereas, mouse <em>CaMKKβ-3</em> and <em>β-3x</em>, lacking exon 16 and exons 14/16, respectively, were primarily expressed in peripheral tissues. At the protein level, the CaMKKβ-3 or β-3x variants showed high expression levels in mouse cerebrum and testes. This was consistent with the localization of CaMKKβ-3/-3x in spermatids in seminiferous tubules, but not the localization of CaMKKβ-1. We also observed the co-localization of CaMKKβ-3/-3x with a target kinase, CaMKIV, in elongating spermatids. Biochemical characterization further revealed that CaMKKβ-3 exhibited Ca²⁺/CaM-induced kinase activity similar to CaMKKβ-1. Conversely, we noted that CaMKKβ-3x impaired Ca²⁺/CaM-binding ability, but exhibited significantly weak autonomous activity (approximately 500-fold lower than CaMKKβ-1 or β-3) due to the absence of C-terminal of the catalytic domain and a putative residue (Ile478) responsible for the kinase autoinhibition. Nevertheless, CaMKKβ-3x showed the ability to phosphorylate downstream kinases, including CaMKIα, CaMKIV, and AMPKα in transfected cells comparable to CaMKKβ-1 and β-3. Collectively, CaMKKβ-3/-3x were identified as functionally active and could be <em>bona fide</em> CaMKIV-kinases in testes involved in the activation of the CaMKIV cascade in spermatids, resulting in the regulation of spermiogenesis.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":9678,"journal":{"name":"Cell calcium","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134688844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The tissue-specific splice variants of NCX1–3 isoforms show specific expression profiles in neurons and astrocytes, whereas the relevant NCX isoform/splice variants exhibit diverse allosteric modes of Na⁺- and Ca²⁺-dependent regulation. In general, overexpression of NCX1–3 genes leads to neuroprotective effects, whereas their ablation gains the opposite results. At this end, the partial contributions of NCX isoform/splice variants to neuroprotective effects remain unresolved. The glutamate-dependent Na⁺ entry generates Na⁺ transients (in response to neuronal cell activities), whereas the Na⁺-driven Ca²⁺ entry (through the reverse NCX mode) raises Ca²⁺ transients. This special mode of signal coupling translates Na⁺ transients into the Ca²⁺ signals while being a part of synaptic neurotransmission. This mechanism is of general interest since disease-related conditions (ischemia, metabolic stress, and stroke among many others) trigger Na⁺ and Ca²⁺ overload with deadly outcomes of downstream apoptosis and excitotoxicity. The recently discovered mechanisms of NCX allosteric regulation indicate that some NCX variants might play a critical role in the dynamic coupling of Na⁺-driven Ca²⁺ entry. In contrast, the others are less important or even could be dangerous under altered conditions (e.g., metabolic stress). This working hypothesis can be tested by applying advanced experimental approaches and highly focused computational simulations. This may allow the development of structure-based blockers/activators that can selectively modulate predefined NCX variants to lessen the life-threatening outcomes of excitotoxicity, ischemia, apoptosis, metabolic deprivation, brain injury, and stroke.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":9678,"journal":{"name":"Cell calcium","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"92135821","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
