Background/Aims: Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) is a Ca2+ -mobilization messenger that acts on ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+ channels in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ stores. Moreover, it has been proposed that cADPR serves an additional role in activating the sarcoendoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ -ATPase (SERCA) pump. The aim of this study was to determine the exact mechanism by which cADPR regulates SR Ca2+ stores in physiologically relevant systems. Methods: We analyzed Ca2+ signals as well as the production of Ca2+ mobilizing messengers in the skeletal muscle cells of mice subjected to intensive exercise or in the SR fractions from skeletal muscle cells after β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) stimulation. Results: We show that cADPR enhances SERCA activity in skeletal muscle cells in response to β-AR agonists, increasing SR Ca2+ uptake. We demonstrate that cADPR is generated by CD38, a cADPR-synthesizing enzyme, increasing muscle Ca2+ signals and contractile force during exercise. CD38 is upregulated by the cAMP response element–binding protein (CREB) transcription factor upon β-AR stimuli and exercise. CD38 knockout (KO) mice show defects in their exercise and cADPR synthesis capabilities, lacking a β-AR agonist-induced muscle contraction when compared to wild-type mice. The skeletal muscle of CD38 KO mice exhibits delayed cytosolic Ca2+ clearance and reduced SERCA activity upon exercise. Conclusion: These findings provide insight into the physiological adaptive mechanism by which the CD38- cADPR-SERCA signaling axis plays an essential role in muscle contraction under exercise, and define cADPR as an endogenous activator of SERCA in enhancing the SR Ca2+ load.

The signaling mechanisms by which skeletal muscle electrical activity leads to changes in gene expression remain largely undefined. We have reported that myotube depolarization induces calcium signals in the cytosol and nucleus via inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and phosphorylation of both ERK1/2 and cAMP-response element-binding protein (CREB). We now describe the calcium dependence of P-CREB and P-ERK induction and of the increases in mRNA of the early genes c- fos, c- jun, and egr-1. Increased phosphorylation and early gene activation were maintained in the absence of extracellular calcium, while the increase in intracellular calcium induced by caffeine could mimic the depolarization stimulus. Depolarization performed either in the presence of the IP3 inhibitors 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate or xestospongin C or on cells loaded with BAPTA-AM, in which slow calcium signals were abolished, resulted in decreased activation of the early genes examined. Both early gene activation and CREB phosphorylation were inhibited by ERK phosphorylation blockade. These data suggest a role for calcium in the transcription-related events that follow membrane depolarization in muscle cells.

Depolarization of skeletal muscle cells by either high external K+ or repetitive extracellular field potential pulses induces calcium release from internal stores. The two components of this release are mediated by either ryanodine receptors or inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptors and show differences in kinetics, amplitude, and subcellular localization. We have reported that the transcriptional regulators including ERKs, cAMP/Ca2+-response element binding protein, c- fos, c- jun, and egr-1 are activated by K+-induced depolarization and that their activation requires IP3-dependent calcium release. We presently describe the activation of the nuclear transcription factor NF-κB in response to depolarization by either high K+ (chronic) or electrical pulses (fluctuating). Calcium transients of relative short duration activate an NF-κB reporter gene to an intermediate level, whereas long-lasting calcium increases obtained by prolonged electrical stimulation protocols of various frequencies induce maximal activation of NF-κB. This activation is independent of extracellular calcium, whereas calcium release mediated by either ryanodine or IP3 receptors contribute in all conditions tested. NF-κB activation is mediated by IκBα degradation and p65 translocation to the nucleus. Partial blockade by N-acetyl-l-cysteine, a general antioxidant, suggests the participation of reactive oxygen species. Calcium-dependent signaling pathways such as those linked to calcineurin and PKC also contribute to NF-κB activation by depolarization, as assessed by blockade through pharmacological agents. These results suggest that NF-κB activation in skeletal muscle cells is linked to membrane depolarization and depends on the duration of elevated intracellular calcium. It can be regulated by sequential activation of calcium release mediated by the ryanodine and by IP3 receptors.

Although we have recently demonstrated that plasma catecholamines induce antiproteolytic effects on skeletal muscle (Graça FA, Gonçalves DAP, Silveira WA, Lira EC, Chaves VE, Zanon NM, Garófalo MAR, Kettelhut IC, Navegantes LCC. Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab. 305: E1483-E1494, 2013), the role of the muscle sympathetic innervation and, more specifically, norepinephrine (NE) in regulating the ubiquitin (Ub)-proteasome system (UPS) remains unknown. Based on previous findings that chemical sympathectomy acutely reduces UPS activity, we hypothesized that muscle NE depletion induces adrenergic supersensitivity in rat skeletal muscles. We report that surgical sympathetic denervation (SDEN), a condition in which only muscle NE from both hindlimbs is depleted, transiently reduced the overall proteolysis and the UPS activity (∼25%) in both soleus and extensor digitorum longus muscles. This antiproteolytic response was accompanied by increased activity of adenylyl cyclase (112%), levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP; 191%), and the serine phosphorylation of cAMP response element-binding protein (32%). In extensor digitorum longus from normal rats, NE (10−4M) in vitro increased the levels of cAMP (115%) and the serine phosphorylation of both cAMP response element-binding protein (2.7-fold) and forkhead box class O1 transcription factor. Similar effects were observed in C2C12cells incubated with forskolin (10 μM). In parallel, NE significantly reduced the basal UPS (21%) activity and the mRNA levels of atrophy-related Ub-ligases. Similar responses were observed in isolated muscles exposed to 6-BNZ-cAMP (500 μM), a specific PKA activator. The phosphorylation levels of Akt were not altered by SDEN, NE, forskolin or 6-BNZ-cAMP. Our results demonstrate that SDEN induces muscle adrenergic supersensitivity for cAMP leading to the suppression of UPS, and that the suppressive effects of NE on UPS activity and expression of Ub-ligases can be mediated by the activation of cAMP/PKA signaling, with the inhibition of forkhead box class O1 transcription factor.

Evolutionarily conserved signaling pathways are crucial for adjusting growth, reproduction, and cell maintenance in response to altered environmental conditions or energy balance. However, we have an incomplete understanding of the signaling networks and mechanistic changes that coordinate physiological changes across tissues. We found that loss of the cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) transcription factor significantly slows Caenorhabditis elegans reproductive decline, an early hallmark of aging in many animals. Our results indicate that CREB acts downstream of the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) Sma/Mab pathway in the hypodermis to control reproductive aging, and that it does so by regulating a Hedgehog-related signaling factor, WRT-10. Overexpression of hypodermal wrt-10 is sufficient to delay reproductive decline and oocyte quality deterioration, potentially acting via Patched-related receptors in the germline. This TGF-beta/CREB/WRT-10 signaling axis allows a key metabolic tissue to communicate with the reproductive system to regulate oocyte quality and the rate of reproductive decline.
