We recently demonstrated that endothelin-1 (ET-1) activates two types of Ca2+-permeable nonselective cation channel (designated NSCC-1 and NSCC-2) in Chinese hamster ovarian cells expressing endothelinB receptor (CHO-ETBR). These channels can be discriminated using the Ca2+ channel blockers, LOE 908 and SK&F 96365. LOE 908 is a blocker of NSCC-1 and NSCC-2, whereas SK&F 96365 is a blocker of NSCC-2. In this study, we investigated the possible role of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) in the ET-1-induced activation of NSCCs in CHO-ETBR using wortmannin and LY-294002, inhibitors of PI3K. ET-1-induced Ca2+ influx was partially inhibited in CHO-ETBR pretreated with wortmannin or LY-294002. In contrast, addition of wortmannin or LY-294002 after stimulation with ET-1 did not suppress Ca2+ influx. The Ca2+ channels activated by ET-1 in wortmannin- or LY-294002-treated CHO-ETBR were sensitive to LOE 908 and resistant to SK&F 96365. In conclusion, NSCC-2 is stimulated by ET-1 via PI3K-dependent cascade, whereas NSCC-1 is stimulated independently of the PI3K pathway. Moreover, PI3K seems to be required for the initiation of the Ca2+ entry through NSCC-2 but not for its maintenance.

We compared the Ca2+ channels activated by endothelin-1 (ET-1) in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells stably expressing endothelin type A (ETA) or endothelin type B (ETB) receptors using the Ca2+ channel blockers LOE-908 and SK&F-96365. In both CHO-ETA and CHO-ETB, ET-1 at 0.1 nM activated the Ca2+-permeable nonselective cation channel-1 (NSCC-1), which was sensitive to LOE-908 and resistant to SK&F-96365. ET-1 at 1 nM activated NSCC-2 in addition to NSCC-1; NSCC-2 was sensitive to both LOE-908 and SK&F-96365. ET-1 at 10 nM activated the same channels as 1 nM ET-1 in both cell types, but in CHO-ETA, it additionally activated the store-operated Ca2+ channel (SOCC), which was resistant to LOE-908 and sensitive to SK&F-96365. Up to 1 nM ET-1, the level of the formation of inositol phosphates (IPs) was low and similar in both cell types, but, at 10 nM ET-1, it was far greater in CHO-ETA than in CHO-ETB. These results show that, in CHO-ETAand CHO-ETB, ET-1 up to 10 nM activated the same Ca2+ entry channels: 0.1 nM ET-1 activated NSCC-1, and ET-1 ≥ 1 nM activated NSCC-1 and NSCC-2. Notably, in CHO-ETA, 10 nM ET-1 activated SOCCs because of the higher formation of IPs.

In serum-deprived G(o)-arrested cells, the addition of serum or growth factors initiates a cascade of events that culminates in DNA synthesis and mitosis. Recently, we showed that in mouse L-M(TK-) fibroblasts a 28-pS nonselective cation channel (NS channel) becomes quiescent at G(o) arrest and rapidly active within seconds of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) or serum addition, placing this response very early in the postreceptor signaling cascade. However, lack of specific channel blockers hindered determination of whether channel activation was necessary for mitogenesis. Derivatives of N-phenylanthranilic acid (DCA) have been reported to block a pancreatic nonselective channel. Therefore, using single-channel analysis, we examined the effect of these agents on the L-M(TK-) NS channel. Flufenamic acid and mefenamic acid rapidly produced reversible channel block with an inhibitory constant (Ki) approximately 10 microM. Furthermore, the component of the macroscopic K+ efflux shown to be mediated by the NS channel was blocked with a similar Ki value. DCA effects on cell proliferation were tested by measuring cloning efficiency and growth rate. Both were inhibited over the range of concentration that affected channel activity, and a 50% inhibitory dose of 50-100 microM was determined. This observation further substantiates the hypothesis that NS channel activation forms a necessary component in the transduction of the mitogenic signal from the PDGF receptor.

B cell adaptor for phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) (BCAP) is a signaling adaptor that activates the PI3K pathway downstream of B cell receptor signaling in B cells and Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling in macrophages. BCAP binds to the regulatory p85 subunit of class I PI3K and is a large, multidomain protein. We used proteomic analysis to identify other BCAP-interacting proteins in macrophages and found that BCAP specifically associated with the caspase-1 pseudosubstrate inhibitor Flightless-1 and its binding partner leucine-rich repeat flightless-interacting protein 2. Because these proteins inhibit the NLRP3 inflammasome, we investigated the role of BCAP in inflammasome function. Independent of its effects on TLR priming, BCAP inhibited NLRP3- and NLRC4-induced caspase-1 activation, cell death, and IL-1β release from macrophages. Accordingly, caspase-1–dependent clearance of a Yersinia pseudotuberculosis mutant was enhanced in BCAP-deficient mice. Mechanistically, BCAP delayed the recruitment and activation of pro–caspase-1 within the NLRP3/ASC preinflammasome through its association with Flightless-1. Thus, BCAP is a multifunctional signaling adaptor that inhibits key pathogen-sensing pathways in macrophages.
