To evaluate interaction of vanilloid receptor type 1 (TRPV1) with endogenous Ca2+ signalling mechanisms, TRPV1 was expressed in Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf 9) insect cells using recombinant baculovirus. Stimulation of TRPV1-expressing cells, but not control Sf 9 cells, with resiniferatoxin (RTX), capsaicin or anandamide, produced an increase in cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), with EC50 values of 166 pM, 24.5 nM and 3.89 μM respectively. In the absence of extracellular Ca2+, both capsaicin and RTX caused an increase in [Ca2+]i with EC50 values of approx. 10 μM and 10 nM respectively. This TRPV1-induced release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores was not blocked by U73122, suggesting that phospholipase C was not involved. Substantial overlap was found between the thapsigargin- and RTX-sensitive internal Ca2+ pools, and confocal imaging showed that intracellular TRPV1 immunofluorescence co-localized with the endoplasmic reticulum targeting motif KDEL. To determine if TRPV1-induced mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ activates endogenous store-operated Ca2+ entry, the effect of 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB) on Ba2+ influx was examined. 2-APB blocked thapsigargin-induced Ba2+ influx, but not RTX-induced Ba2+ entry. In the combined presence of thapsigargin and a store-releasing concentration of RTX, the 2-APB-sensitive component was essentially identical with the thapsigargin-induced component. Similar results were obtained in HEK-293 cells stably expressing TRPV1. These results suggest that TRPV1 forms agonist-sensitive channels in the endoplasmic reticulum, which when activated, release Ca2+ from internal stores, but fail to activate endogenous store-operated Ca2+ entry. Selective activation of intracellular TRPV1, without concomitant involvement of plasmalemmal Ca2+ influx mechanisms, could play an important role in Ca2+ signalling within specific subcellular microdomains.

Abstract Abstract 16 Type 1 von Willebrand's Disease (VWD) can result from decreased synthesis or accelerated clearance of von Willebrand Factor (VWF), resulting in partial quantitative deficiency. Approximately 35% of individuals with Type 1 VWD do not have a putative mutation in their VWF gene, suggesting that genes other than VWF may contribute to the pathophysiology of this disease. Recently, the CHARGE GWAS meta-analysis identified single nucleotide polymorphisms in the gene encoding the C-type lectin domain family 4 member M (CLEC4M) as being significantly associated with plasma VWF levels in normal individuals. CLEC4M is a pathogen recognition receptor with a polymorphic extracellular neck region consisting of a variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) (3 – 9 repeats). We hypothesize that CLEC4M binds to and clears VWF from the circulation, and that different CLEC4M VNTR alleles may contribute to differences in plasma levels of VWF in normal subjects and patients with Type 1 VWD. Previously, genotyping of 555 subjects (196 cases with type 1 VWD, and 362 family members) for the CLEC4M VNTR number showed that the most frequently documented alleles were VNTR 5 (29%), 6 (15%), and 7 (53%). Family-based association analysis on kindreds with type I VWD has demonstrated a significant excess transmission of VNTR 6 to the type I VWD phenotype (p=0.005) and an association of this VNTR allele with VWF:RCo (p=0.037). In the present studies, we have complemented this genetic association data with experiments to directly evaluate the ability of CLEC4M to bind and internalize VWF. Further, we characterized the ability of different CLEC4M VNTR alleles to facilitate VWF clearance. Binding of VWF to CLEC4M was assessed with a modified ELISA using a recombinant CLEC4M-Fc chimera. CLEC4M-Fc bound to Humate P (plasma-derived VWF-FVIII) in a dose-dependent manner. CLEC4M-Fc also bound to recombinant human VWF, and factor VIII-free plasma-derived VWF. CLEC4M-Fc demonstrated a 70% increase in binding to de-O-glycosylated Humate P (p=0.041), and a 75% decrease in binding to de-N-glycosylated Humate P (p=0.046) relative to controls. Additionally, pre-incubation of CLEC4M-Fc with the polysaccharide mannan attenuated binding to all VWF preparations by approximately 50%. Binding and internalization of VWF by HEK 293 cells stably expressing CLEC4M (VNTR allele 7) was assessed with immunofluorescence and ELISA. Binding of VWF co-localized with CLEC4M expression on HEK 293 cells. CLEC4M and VWF co-localized with early endosomal antigen-1, suggesting that CLEC4M participates in receptor-mediated endocytosis of VWF. CLEC4M-expressing cells bound and internalized VWF in a dose- and time-dependent manner relative to controls. Preincubation of CLEC4M expressing cells with mannan inhibited VWF binding and internalization by 50% (p=0.0088). The contribution of CLEC4M genetic variability to VWF binding and internalization was measured using HEK 293 cells expressing CLEC4M with 4, 6, 7, and 9 tandem repeats. Decreased binding and internalization of VWF was observed with cells expressing CLEC4M 4 and 9 tandem repeat constructs as compared to CLEC4M with 7 tandem repeats (CLEC4M 4 – 60% reduction, p < 0.001; CLEC4M 9 – 45% reduction, p=0.006). Cells expressing the CLEC4M VNTR combination 4 and 9, had a 55% decrease in binding and internalization of VWF relative to cells expressing CLEC4M with 7 VNTRs (p < 0.001). These VNTR associated differences in VWF binding/internalization were not accounted for by variances in the CLEC4M expression levels in the transfected HEK 293 cells. These studies demonstrate that the C-type lectin CLEC4M binds to and internalizes VWF through an N-glycan-dependent mechanism. Additionally, it provides further evidence that polymorphisms in the CLEC4M gene contribute to quantitative VWF deficiency.

This study investigated the effect of type 1 gonadotropin releasing hormone receptor (GnRH-R) localization within lipid rafts on the properties of plasma membrane (PM) nanodomain structure. Confocal microscopy revealed colocalization of PM-localized GnRH-R with GM1-enriched raft-like PM subdomains. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR) of a membrane-partitioned spin probe was then used to study PM fluidity of immortalized pituitary gonadotrope cell line αT3-1 and HEK-293 cells stably expressing GnRH-R and compared it with their corresponding controls (αT4 and HEK-293 cells). Computer-assisted interpretation of EPR spectra revealed three modes of spin probe movement reflecting the properties of three types of PM nanodomains. Domains with an intermediate order parameter (domain 2) were the most affected by the presence of the GnRH-Rs, which increased PM ordering (order parameter (S)) and rotational mobility of PM lipids (decreased rotational correlation time (τc)). Depletion of cholesterol by methyl-β-cyclodextrin (methyl-β-CD) inhibited agonist-induced GnRH-R internalization and intracellular Ca2+ activity and resulted in an overall reduction in PM order; an observation further supported by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of model membrane systems. This study provides evidence that GnRH-R PM localization may be related to a subdomain of lipid rafts that has lower PM ordering, suggesting lateral heterogeneity within lipid raft domains.

Studies carried out with mammals and invertebrates suggest that Ca(2+)-sensitive adenylyl cyclases may be important for neuroplasticity. Long-term potentiation in the hippocampus requires increases in intracellular Ca2+ which are accompanied by elevated cyclic AMP (cAMP). Furthermore, activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase is required for the late stage of long-term potentiation in the CA1 region of the hippocampus, which is also sensitive to inhibitors of transcription. Therefore, some forms of synaptic plasticity may require coordinate regulation of transcription by Ca2+ and cAMP. In this study, we demonstrate that the expression of type I adenylyl cyclase in HEK-293 cells allows Ca2+ to stimulate reporter gene activity mediated through the cAMP response element. Furthermore, simultaneous activation by Ca2+ and isoproterenol caused synergistic stimulation of transcription in HEK-293 cells and cultured neurons. We propose that Ca2+ and neurotransmitter stimulation of type I adenylyl cyclase may play a role in synaptic plasticity by generating optimal cAMP signals for regulation of transcription.

The enzyme catalysing the conversion of PE (phosphatidylethanolamine) into PC (phosphatidylcholine), PEMT (PE N-methyltransferase), exists as two isoforms, PEMT-L (longer isoform of PEMT) and PEMT-S (shorter isoform of PEMT). In the present study, to compare the functions of the two isoforms of PEMT, we established HEK (human embryonic kidney)-293 cell lines stably expressing PEMT-L and PEMT-S. Both PEMT-L and PEMT-S were localized in the ER (endoplasmic reticulum). PEMT-L, but not PEMT-S, was N-glycosylated with high-mannose oligosaccharides. The enzymatic activity of PEMT-S was much higher than that of PEMT-L. By using novel enzymatic assays for measuring PC and PE, we showed that PEMT-L and PEMT-S expression remarkably increased the cellular PC content, whereas the PE content was decreased by PEMT-S expression, but was hardly affected by PEMT-L expression. The cellular content of phosphatidylserine was also reduced by the expression of PEMT-L or PEMT-S. MS analyses demonstrated that the expression of PEMT-S led to more increases in the molecular species of PC and PC-O (ether-linked PC) with longer polyunsaturated chains than that of PEMT-L, whereas the PC-O species with shorter chains were increased more by PEMT-L expression than by PEMT-S expression, suggesting a difference in the substrate specificity of PEMT-L and PEMT-S. On the other hand, various PE and PE-O species were decreased by PEMT-S expression. In addition, PEMT-L and PEMT-S expression promoted the proliferation of HEK-293 cells. Based upon these findings, we propose a model in which the enzymatic activity and substrate specificity are regulated by the glycosylated N-terminal region of PEMT-L localized in the ER lumen.

Caveolin-1 (Cav-1) regulates agonist-induced Ca2+ entry in endothelial cells; however, how Cav-1 regulates this process is poorly understood. Here, we describe that Cav-1 scaffold domain (NH2-terminal residues 82–101; CSD) interacts with transient receptor potential canonical channel 1 (TRPC1) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor 3 (IP3R3) to regulate Ca2+ entry. We have shown previously that the TRPC1 COOH-terminal residues 781-789 bind to CSD. In the present study, we show that the TRPC1 COOH-terminal residues 781-789 truncated (TRPC1-CΔ781-789) mutant expression abolished Ca2+ store release-induced Ca2+ influx in human dermal microvascular endothelial cell line (HMEC) and human embryonic kidney (HEK-293) cells. To understand the basis of loss of Ca2+ influx, we determined TRPC1 binding to IP3R3. We observed that the wild-type (WT)-TRPC1 but not TRPC1-CΔ781-789 effectively interacted with IP3R3. Similarly, WT-TRPC1 interacted with Cav-1, whereas TRPC1-CΔ781-789 binding to Cav-1 was markedly suppressed. We also assessed the direct binding of Cav-1 with TRPC1 and observed that the WT-Cav-1 but not the Cav-1ΔCSD effectively interacted with TRPC1. Since the interaction between TRPC1 and Cav-1ΔCSD was reduced, we measured Ca2+ store release-induced Ca2+ influx in Cav-1ΔCSD-transfected cells. Surprisingly, Cav-1ΔCSD expression showed a gain-of-function in Ca2+ entry in HMEC and HEK-293 cells. We observed a similar gain-of-function in Ca2+ entry when Cav-1ΔCSD was expressed in lung endothelial cells of Cav-1 knockout mice. Immunoprecipitation results revealed that WT-Cav-1 but not Cav-1ΔCSD interacted with IP3R3. Furthermore, we observed using confocal imaging the colocalization of IP3R3 with WT-Cav-1 but not with Cav-1ΔCSD on Ca2+ store release in endothelial cells. These findings suggest that CSD interacts with TRPC1 and IP3R3 and thereby regulates Ca2+ store release-induced Ca2+ entry in endothelial cells.

Abstract Gene mutations play an important role in the pathogenesis of von Willebrand disease (VWD), resulting in the qualitative defect or quantitative deficit of von Willebrand factor (VWF). VWF propeptide is composed of D1 and D2 domain, which acts as a covalent oxidoreductase in the multimerization. In addition, the propeptide is necessary for the transport from endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to Golgi-apparatus, basal secretion and regulated secretion of VWF. However, the mechanisms of the mutation in D1 domain impairing VWF multimerization and causing low VWF levels in patients remain unknown. Herein we identified four mutations in the D1 domain from VWD patients, and assessed the effect of these mutations on the function of propeptide. We identified p.G39R, p.D141N, p.K157E, and p.C379G in three VWD patients. To characterize the roles of four mutations in propeptide-depend multimerization, we generated several truncated-VWFs, D1D2D¡¯D3 (residues 1-1241), including G39R, K157E, D141N, C379G and wide type (WT). These constructs were then expressed in HEK 293 cells, and were evaluated the D¡¯D3-dimer formation of mutations and WT. Full-length VWF comprising mutations and WT were also restructured and were transfected in HEK 293 cells. We then analyzed the VWF multimer distribution and VWF antigen in the cell supernatant and cell lysate. We also assessed VWF retention in ER and the stimulation secretion by phorbol-12-myristate-13- acetate (PMA) of mutations and those of WT. Two type 3 and 1 type 1 patients were enrolled in our study. VWF antigen were 3, 1 and 8 IU/dL, and VWF:Rco were 2.1, 2.3 and 5.6 IU/dL respectively in three patients. VWF multimer distribution exhibited none in two type 3 patients and normal-like multimer pattern in the type 1. Sequence analysis of VWF gene showed two heterozygous mutations (p.G39R and D141N) in D1 domain of one type 3 patient, and a heterozygous K157E in propeptide and a heterozygous C1165R in D3 domain of the other patient with type 3. Type 1 patients had a heterozygous C379G mutation. Among these four mutations in D1 domain, p.G39R, p.K157E, and p.C379G were novel. In the supernatant of transfected cell, dimerization of D¡¯D3 was absent in truncated-G39R. Compared with that of truncated-WT, decreased but detectable dimerizations were detected in K157E, D141N, and C379G. Similar results were also observed in multimerization of full-length constructs. The multimer assembly was too low to visualize in G39R, whereas decreased medium and absent large VWF multimers were seen in K157E, D141N, and C379G. By immunofluorescence imaging, all full-length VWF variants were detained in ER in different degrees (fig 1). The basal secretions of G39R, K157E, D141N, and C379G were (2.7¡À0. 3)%, (2.5¡À0.2)%, (26.0¡À4.1)%, and (22.4¡À3.8)% of WT respectively. However, VWF antigens in the lysate of transfected cells were (116.5¡À5.4)%, (90.9¡À3.0)%, (91.7¡À0.4)% and (113.8¡À2.9)% of WT for G39R, K157E, D141N, and C379G. No detectable secretion increases of mutant VWF induced by PMA were observed in the transfected cells, while WT-VWF with PMA exhibited increased secretion from 0.69% to 1.66%. These four mutations in D1 domain downgraded the activity of propeptide as the covalent oxidoreductase, and impaired the muiltimeriztion induced by propeptide. They also interfered with VWF transport from ER to Golgi-apparatus and caused the VWF retentions in ER. Therefore, they further reduced the basal secretion and regulated secretion of mature VWF, which could explain the possible pathogenesis of quantitative deficit of VWF in VWD.
