The D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] receptor was localized by immunofluorescence experiments in situ in liver cryosections. Two anti-Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor antibodies (against the 14 C-terminal residues of the type 1 receptor or against the entire cerebellar receptor) weakly decorated the whole cytoplasm, and a more intense labelling was observed at the periphery of the hepatocytes, particularly beneath the canalicular and the sinusoidal domains of the plasma membrane (PM). Antibodies against calreticulin, the Ca2+ pump (SERCA2b) or endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes homogeneously labelled the cytoplasm and the subplasmalemmal area. These data indicate that the ER can be divided into at least two specialized subregions: one is located throughout most of the cytoplasm and contains markers of the rough ER (RER), calreticulin, SERCA2b and a low density of Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor, and the other is confined to the periphery of the cells and contains calreticulin, Ca2+ pump, RER markers and a high density of Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor. A membrane fraction enriched in Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor and in markers of the PM was immuno-adsorbed with the antibody against the C-terminal end of the Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor and pelleted with Sepharose protein A. The immuno-isolated material was enriched in Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor, but none of the markers of the ER or of the PM could be detected. This suggests that the Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor is localized on discrete domains of the ER membrane beneath the canalicular and the sinusoidal membranes, where it was found at higher densities than the other markers.

Release of intracellular Ca2+ is triggered by the second messenger inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, which binds to the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor and gates the opening of an intrinsic calcium channel in the endoplasmic reticulum. In order to understand the importance of this mechanism in development, we have examined the distribution of the type 1 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor during development, in some areas of the rat brain and spinal cord and in peripheral neurons, using in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry. In brain, we find that type 1 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor is expressed in neurons from very early in development; low levels of expression are first detected after the neurons have migrated to their final positions, when they start to differentiate and begin axonal growth. Increasing levels of expression are observed later in development, during the time of synaptogenesis and dendritic contact. Glial cells do not express type 1 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor, except for a transient period of expression, probably by oligodendrocytes, in developing fibre tracts during the onset of myelination. In contrast with the brain, both grey and white matter of the spinal cord express type 1 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor throughout development, and it remains present in the adult spinal cord. We also show, for the first time, that type 1 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor is expressed in the peripheral nervous system. Strong labelling was observed in the dorsal root ganglia and during development this expression seems to coincide with the onset of axogenesis. These results suggest that type 1 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate may be involved in the regulatory mechanism controlling Ca2+ levels in neurons during the periods of cell differentiation, axogenesis and synaptogenesis.

Stimulation of T-cells via the T-cell receptor (TCR) complex is accompanied by an increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). Recently, it was reported that a stable transformant of the human T-cell line, Jurkat, expressing an antisense cDNA construct of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) type 1 (IP3R1), failed to demonstrate increased [Ca2+]i or interleukin-2 production after TCR stimulation and was also resistant to apoptotic stimuli. This cell line lacked IP3R1 expression, but expressed the type-2 and -3 receptors, IP3R2 and IP3R3 respectively [Jayaraman, Ondriasova, Ondrias, Harnick and Marks (1995) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 92, 6007–6011, and Jayaraman and Marks (1997) Mol. Cell. Biol. 17, 3005–3012]. The authors concluded that IP3R1 is essential for TCR signalling and suggested that Ca2+ release via IP3R1 is a critical mediator of apoptosis. To establish whether a loss of IP3R1 function in T-cells occurred in vivo and in vitro, we investigated Ca2+ signalling after TCR stimulation and the properties of T-cells using IP3R1-deficient (IP3R1-/-) mice. As IP3R1-/- mice die at weaning, we transplanted bone marrow cells of IP3R1-/- mice into irradiated wild-type mice. Western blot analysis showed that the recipient IP3R1-containing (IP3R1+/+) lymphocytes were replaced by the donor IP3R1-/- lymphocytes after transplantation and that expression of IP3R2 and IP3R3 was unaltered. In contrast with the previous reports, T-cells lacking IP3R1 were able to mobilize Ca2+ from intracellular Ca2+ stores after stimulation via the TCR. We observed no significant differences between IP3R1+/+ and IP3R1-/- T-cells in terms of the number of thymocytes and splenocytes, the proportion of the T-cell phenotype, proliferative response to anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody (mAb) stimulation and cell viability. Therefore IP3R1 is not essential for T-cell development and function.
