The role of cyclic ADP-ribose in the amplification of subcellular and global Ca2+ signaling upon stimulation of P2Y purinergic receptors was studied in 3T3 fibroblasts. Either (1) 3T3 fibroblasts (CD38− cells), (2) 3T3 fibroblasts preloaded by incubation with extracellular cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR), (3) 3T3 fibroblasts microinjected with ryanodine, or (4) 3T3 fibroblasts transfected to express the ADP-ribosyl cyclase CD38 (CD38+ cells) were used. Both preincubation with cADPR and CD38 expression resulted in comparable intracellular amounts of cyclic ADP-ribose (42.3 ± 5.2 and 50.5 ± 8.0 pmol/mg protein). P2Y receptor stimulation of CD38− cells yielded a small increase of intracellular Ca2+ concentration and a much higher Ca2+ signal in CD38-transfected cells, in cADPR-preloaded cells, or in cells microinjected with ryanodine. Confocal Ca2+ imaging revealed that stimulation of ryanodine receptors by cADPR or ryanodine amplified localized pacemaker Ca2+ signals with properties resembling Ca2+ quarks and triggered the propagation of such localized signals from the plasma membrane toward the internal environment, thereby initiating a global Ca2+ wave.

Stimulation Of

Oxytocin-induced Ca2+ transients play an important role in myometrial contractions. Here, using a knockout model, we found that the enzyme CD38, responsible for the synthesis of the second messenger cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR), plays an important role in the oxytocin-induced Ca2+ transients and contraction. We also observed that CD38 is necessary for TNF-α-increased agonist-stimulated Ca2+ transients in human myometrial cells. We provide experimental evidence that the TNF-α effect is mediated by increased expression of the enzyme CD38. First, we observed that TNF-α increased oxytocin-induced Ca2+ transients and CD38 expression in human myometrial cells. Moreover, using small interference RNA technology, we observed that TNF-α stimulation of agonist-induced Ca2+ transients was abolished by blocking the expression of CD38. In control experiments, we observed that activation of the component of the TNF-α signaling pathway, NF-κB, was not affected by the treatments. Finally, we observed that the effects of TNF-α on CD38 cyclase and oxytocin-induced Ca2+ transients are abolished by progesterone. In conclusion, we provide the first experimental evidence that CD38 is important for myometrial Ca2+ transients and contraction. Moreover, CD38 is necessary for the TNF-α-mediated augmentation of agonist-induced Ca2+ transients in myometrial cells. We propose that the balance between cytokines and placental steroids regulates the expression of CD38 in vivo and cell responsiveness to oxytocin.

Renal blood flow (RBF) responses to arginine vasopressin (AVP) were tested in anesthetized wild-type (WT) and CD38−/− mice that lack the major calcium-mobilizing second messenger cyclic ADP ribose. AVP (3–25 ng) injected intravenously produced dose-dependent decreases in RBF, reaching a maximum of 25 ± 2% below basal RBF in WT and 27 ± 2% in CD38−/− mice with 25 ng of AVP. Renal vascular resistance (RVR) increased 75 ± 6% and 78 ± 6% in WT and CD38−/− mice. Inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) synthase with nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME) increased the maximum RVR response to AVP to 308 ± 76% in WT and 388 ± 81% in CD38−/− ( P < 0.001 for both). Cyclooxygenase inhibition with indomethacin increased the maximum RVR response to 125 ± 15% in WT and 120 ± 14% in CD38−/− mice ( P < 0.001, <0.05). Superoxide suppression with tempol inhibited the maximum RVR response to AVP by 38% in both strains ( P < 0.005) but was ineffective when administered after l-NAME. The rate of RBF recovery (relaxation) after AVP was slowed by l-NAME and indomethacin ( P < 0.001, <0.005) but was unchanged by tempol. All vascular responses to AVP were abolished by an AVP V1a receptor antagonist. A V2 receptor agonist or antagonist had no effect on AVP-induced renal vasoconstriction. Taken together, the results indicate that renal vasoconstriction by AVP in the mouse is strongly buffered by vasodilatory actions of NO and prostanoids. The vasoconstriction depends on V1a receptor activation without involvement of CD38 or concomitant vasodilatation by V2 receptors. The role of superoxide is to enhance the contractile response to AVP, most likely by reducing the availability of NO rather than directly stimulating intracellular contraction signaling pathways.

Inhibition Of Differentiation

Granulocytic differentiation of human HL-60 cells can be induced by retinoic acid and is accompanied by a massive expression of CD38, a multi-functional enzyme responsible for metabolizing cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR), a Ca2+messenger. Immunofluorescence staining showed that CD38 was expressed not only on the surface of intact HL-60 cells but also intracellularly, which was revealed after permeabilization with Triton. Concomitant with CD38 expression was the accumulation of cADPR, and both time courses preceded the onset of differentiation, suggesting a causal role for CD38. Consistently, treatment of HL-60 cells with a permeant inhibitor of CD38, nicotinamide, inhibited both the CD38 activity and differentiation. More specific blockage of CD38 expression was achieved by using morpholino antisense oligonucleotides targeting its mRNA, which produced a corresponding inhibition of differentiation as well. Similar inhibitory effects were observed when CD38 expression was reduced by the RNA interference technique targeting two separate regions of the coding sequence of CD38. Further support came from transfecting HL-60 cells with a Tet-On expression vector containing a full-length CD38. Subsequent treatments with doxycycline induced both CD38 expression and differentiation in the absence of retinoic acid. These results provide the first evidence that CD38 expression and the consequential accumulation of cADPR play a causal role in mediating cellular differentiation.

Mouse Egg

Sperm-induced activation of mammalian eggs is associated with a transient increase in Ca2+ concentrations thought to be derived from inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-sensitive and -insensitive intracellular stores. Whereas the importance of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-sensitive Ca2+ stores has been evaluated, the identity and role of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-insensitive stores are poorly understood. To explore the role of the ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+ store, we first used reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction to identify transcripts of the ryanodine receptor in eggs and determined that transcripts for the type 2 and 3 receptor were present. Immunoprecipitation of radioiodinated egg extracts with an antibody that recognizes both type 2 and 3 receptors detected specifically a band of Mr = 520,000. Immunolocalization of the receptor(s) using laser-scanning confocal microscopy revealed that the receptor(s) was uniformly distributed in the cortex of the germinal vesicle-intact oocyte, but became asymmetrically localized to the cortex in a region apposed to the meiotic spindle in the metaphase II-arrested egg; this asymmetrical localization developed by metaphase I. The role of the ryanodine receptor in mouse egg activation was examined by determining the effects of microinjected ryanodine or cyclic ADP ribose on endpoints of egg activation in either uninseminated or inseminated eggs. Ryanodine induced the conversion of the zona pellucida glycoprotein ZP2 to its postfertilization form ZP2f in a biphasic concentration-dependent manner; nanomolar concentrations stimulated this conversion, whereas micromolar concentrations had no stimulatory effect. Cyclic ADP ribose also promoted the ZP2 conversion, but with a hyperbolic concentration dependence. Neither of these compounds induced cell cycle resumption. Inhibiting the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-sensitive Ca2+ store did not inhibit the ryanodine-induced ZP2 conversion and, reciprocally, inhibiting the ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+ store did not inhibit the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-induced ZP2 conversion. Last, treatment of eggs under conditions that would block the release of Ca2+ from the ryanodine-sensitive store had no effect on any event of egg activation following fertilization. Results of these experiments suggest that although ryanodine receptors are present and functional, release of Ca2+ from this store is not essential for sperm-induced egg activation.

Stimulation Of

Stimulation of quiescent Swiss mouse 3T3 fibroblasts either by serum or by the low molecular weight hormones, prostaglandin F2 alpha and insulin, induces DNA synthesis after a lag period of about 15 h. Following restimulation by serum or these pure hormones there is an overall increase of two- to fourfold in the rate of biosynthesis of nuclear proteins. In addition, there is a relative decrease in some proteins (Mr = 200 X 10(3), pI 6.0-6.5), while others increase (e.g. actin). Two polypeptides show specific correlations with the exit from G0. The synthesis of p30 (Mr = 30 X 10(3), pI 5.2) is at a maximum within 5 h of restimulation, while the synthesis of p36 (Mr = 36 X 10(3), pI = 4.25) is first seen at 10–20 h after restimulation. Synthesis of p36 correlates well with the initiation of DNA synthesis. The synthesis of both proteins is stimulated by serum and by the hormones. Thus there are common biosynthetic responses to different stimuli indicating convergent pathways leading to DNA biosynthesis. Addition of hydrocortisone with the growth-stimulatory hormones inhibits both entry into the S phase and biosynthesis of p36. In contrast, hydrocortisone does not alter the biosynthesis of p30. This ‘early’ protein, p30, is different from the products of both c-fos and c-myc. Therefore, we have identified two specific components that might participate in the regulation of cell proliferation.

Synthesis And Degradation

The ectoenzyme CD38 catalyzes synthesis and degradation of cyclic ADP ribose in airway smooth muscle (ASM). The proinflammatory cytokine TNFα, which enhances agonist-induced intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) responses, has been previously shown to increases CD38 expression. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that the effects of TNFα on CD38 expression vs. changes in [Ca2+]i regulation in ASM cells are linked. Using isolated human ASM cells, CD38 expression was either increased (transfection) or knocked down [small interfering RNA (siRNA)], and [Ca2+]i responses to sarcoplasmic reticulum depletion [i.e., store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE)] were evaluated in the presence vs. absence of TNFα. Results confirmed that TNFα significantly increased CD38 expression and ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity, an effect inhibited by CD38 siRNA, but unaltered by CD38 overexpression. CD38 suppression blunted, whereas overexpression enhanced, ACh-induced [Ca2+]i responses. TNFα-induced enhancement of [Ca2+]i response to agonist was blunted by CD38 suppression, but enhanced by CD38 overexpression. Finally, TNFα-induced increase in SOCE was blunted by CD38 siRNA and potentiated by CD38 overexpression. Overall, these results indicate a critical role for CD38 in TNFα-induced enhancement of [Ca2+]i in human ASM cells, and potentially to TNFα augmentation of airway responsiveness.

In single NIH-3T3 fibroblasts loaded with fura-2, bombesin induced one of three patterns of increase in the concentration of intracellular free Ca2+ [( Ca2+]i): a single transient increase, a sustained increase, or repetitive transient increases in [Ca2+]i. Foetal-calf serum and ATP also gave these three patterns of response, although a lower proportion of cells gave repetitive Ca2+ transients in response to ATP. An increase in the concentration of bombesin from 1 to 25 nM increased the proportion of cells which exhibited repetitive Ca2+ transients. At 25 nM-bombesin, the proportion of cells which exhibited repetitive Ca2+ transients increased as the extracellular Ca2+ (Ca2+o) concentration was increased from 1 to 5 mM. Removal of Ca2+o by addition of EGTA, or inhibition of Ca2+ inflow by treatment of cells incubated in the presence of Ca2+o with verapamil or an activator of protein kinase C, abruptly terminated repetitive Ca2+ transients, with only one transient observed after the cessation of Ca2+ inflow. Repetitive Ca2+ transients were not observed in cells incubated in the absence of Ca2+o and in the presence of EGTA. Addition of Ca2+o to cells previously incubated in the presence of EGTA caused a resumption of repetitive Ca2+ transients. Addition of thapsigargin alone induced a large transient increase in [Ca2+]i, whereas much smaller transient increases in [Ca2+]i were induced in about 30% of cells tested by caffeine or carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) plus oligomycin. Thapsigargin or the combination of CCCP plus oligomycin completely inhibited bombesin-induced repetitive Ca2+ transients, whereas caffeine had no effect. It is concluded from the studies of the role of Ca2+o that NIH-3T3 cells differ from other cell types in the anatomical or chemical links between extracellular Ca2+ and the intracellular stores involved in the generation of Ca2+ transients, whereas the results of the experiments with inhibitors indicate that the generation of repetitive Ca2+ transients in NIH-3T3 cells is unlikely to involve Ca(2+)-induced Ca2+ release from caffeine-sensitive stores.

Osteoclast Function

The multifunctional ADP-ribosyl cyclase, CD38, catalyzes the cyclization of NAD+ to cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPr). The latter gates Ca2+ release through microsomal membrane-resident ryanodine receptors (RyRs). We first cloned and sequenced full-length CD38 cDNA from a rabbit osteoclast cDNA library. The predicted amino acid sequence displayed 59, 59, and 50% similarity, respectively, to the mouse, rat, and human CD38. In situ RT-PCR revealed intense cytoplasmic staining of osteoclasts, confirming CD38 mRNA expression. Both confocal microscopy and Western blotting confirmed the plasma membrane localization of the CD38 protein. The ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity of osteoclastic CD38 was next demonstrated by its ability to cyclize the NAD+ surrogate, NGD+, to its fluorescent derivative cGDP-ribose. We then examined the effects of CD38 on osteoclast function. CD38 activation by an agonist antibody (A10) in the presence of substrate (NAD+) triggered a cytosolic Ca2+ signal. Both ryanodine receptor modulators, ryanodine, and caffeine, markedly attenuated this cytosolic Ca2+ change. Furthermore, the anti-CD38 agonist antibody expectedly inhibited bone resorption in the pit assay and elevated interleukin-6 (IL-6) secretion. IL-6, in turn, enhanced CD38 mRNA expression. Taken together, the results provide compelling evidence for a new role for CD38/ADP-ribosyl cyclase in the control of bone resorption, most likely exerted via cADPr.
