Cyclic Adp Ribose

Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR), an endogenous metabolite of beta-NAD+, activates Ca2+ release from endoplasmic reticulum in sea urchin eggs via the ryanodine receptor (RyR) pathway. A similar role has been proposed in cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), although this remains controversial. We therefore investigated the ability of cADPR to induce Ca2+ release from canine cardiac SR microsomes using fluo 3 to monitor extravesicular Ca2+ concentration. We found that cADPR induced Ca2+ release in a concentration-dependent manner, whereas neither its precursor, NAD+, nor its metabolite, ADP-ribose, elicited a consistent effect. In addition, an additive effect on calcium release between cADPR and 9-Me-7-Br-eudistomin-D (MBED), an activator of RyR, was found as well as no cross-desensitization between cADPR and MBED. Specific blockers of the RyR did not abolish the cADPR-induced Ca2+ release. These results provide evidence for cADPR-induced Ca2+ release from dog cardiac SR via a novel mechanism which is independent of RyR activation.

We previously found that polycystin-1 accelerated the decay of ligand-activated cytoplasmic calcium transients through enhanced reuptake of calcium into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER; Hooper KM, Boletta A, Germino GG, Hu Q, Ziegelstein RC, Sutters M. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 289: F521–F530, 2005). Calcium flux across the ER membrane is determined by the balance of active uptake and passive leak. In the present study, we show that polycystin-1 inhibited calcium leak across the ER membrane, an effect that would explain the capacity of this protein to accelerate clearance of calcium from the cytoplasm following a calcium release response. Calcium leak was detected by measurement of the accumulation of calcium in the cytoplasm following treatment with thapsigargin. Heterologous polycystin-1, stably expressed in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells, attenuated the thapsigargin-induced calcium peak with no effect on basal calcium stores, mitochondrial calcium uptake, or extrusion of calcium across the plasma membrane. The capacity of polycystin-1 to limit the rate of decay of ER luminal calcium following inhibition of the pump was shown indirectly using the calcium ionophore ionomycin, and directly by loading the ER with a low-affinity calcium indicator. We conclude that disruption of ER luminal calcium homeostasis may contribute to the cyst phenotype in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
