The Journal of Immunology Ca2+ Signaling but Not Store-Operated Ca2+ Entry Is Required for the Function of Macrophages and Dendritic Cells Martin Vaeth,*,1 Isabelle Zee,*,1 Axel R. Concepcion,* Mate Maus,* Patrick Shaw,* Cynthia Portal-Celhay,† Aleena Zahra,† Lina Kozhaya,*,† Carl Weidinger,* Jennifer Philips,* Derya Unutmaz,*,† and Stefan Feske* Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) through Ca2+ release–activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channels is essential for immunity to infection. CRAC channels are formed by ORAI1 proteins in the plasma membrane and activated by stromal interaction molecule (STIM)1 and STIM2 in the endoplasmic reticulum. Mutations in ORAI1 and STIM1 genes that abolish SOCE cause severe immunodefi- ciency with recurrent infections due to impaired T cell function. SOCE has also been observed in cells of the innate immune Downloaded from system such as macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs) and may provide Ca2+ signals required for their function. The specific role of SOCE in macrophage and DC function, as well as its contribution to innate immunity, however, is not well defined. We found that nonselective inhibition of Ca2+ signaling strongly impairs many effector functions of bone marrow–derived macrophages and bone marrow–derived DCs, including phagocytosis, inflammasome activation, and priming of T cells. Surprisingly, however, macrophages and DCs from mice with conditional deletion of Stim1 and Stim2 genes, and therefore complete inhibition of SOCE, showed no major functional defects. Their differentiation, FcR-dependent and -independent phagocytosis, phagolysosome fusion, http://www.jimmunol.org/ cytokine production, NLRP3 inflammasome activation, and their ability to present Ags to activate T cells were preserved. Our findings demonstrate that STIM1, STIM2, and SOCE are dispensable for many critical effector functions of macrophages and DCs, which has important implications for CRAC channel inhibition as a therapeutic strategy to suppress pathogenic T cells while not interfering with myeloid cell functions required for innate immunity.

The activity of thalamocortical relay (TC) cells is modulated by specific inhibitory circuits. Although this inhibition plays a crucial role in regulating thalamic activity, little is known about long-term changes in synaptic strength at these inhibitory synapses. Therefore, we studied long-term plasticity of inhibitory inputs to TC cells in the posterior medial nucleus of the thalamus by combining patch-clamp recordings with two-photon fluorescence microscopy in rat brain slices.WefoundthatspecificactivitypatternsinthepostsynapticTCcellinducedinhibitorylong-termpotentiation(iLTP).ThisiLTPwas non-Hebbian because it did not depend on the timing between presynaptic and postsynaptic activity, but it could be induced by postsyn- aptic burst activity alone. iLTP required postsynaptic dendritic Ca 2ϩ influx evoked by low-threshold Ca 2ϩ spikes. In contrast, tonic postsynaptic spiking from a depolarized membrane potential (Ϫ50 mV), which suppressed these low-threshold Ca 2ϩ spikes, induced no plasticity.

Carsten, III, M.D. ABSTRACT Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally. An estimated 17.9 million people died from CVDs in 2016, with ~840,000 of them in the United States alone. Traditional risk factors, such as smoking, hypertension, and diabetes, are well discussed. In recent years, chronic kidney disease (CKD) has emerged as a risk factor of equal importance. Patients with mild-to-moderate CKD are much more likely to develop and die from CVDs than progress to end-stage renal failure.

Several workers have extensively worked out the metal induced toxicity and have reported the toxic and carcinogenic effects of metals in human and animals. It is well known that these metals play a crucial role in facilitating normal biological functions of cells as well. One of the major mechanisms associated with heavy metal toxicity has been attributed to generation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, which develops imbalance between the prooxidant elements and the antioxidants (reducing elements) in the body. In this process, a shift to the former is termed as oxidative stress. The oxidative stress mediated toxicity of heavy metals involves damage primarily to liver (hepatotoxicity), central nervous system (neurotoxicity), DNA (genotoxicity), and kidney (nephrotoxicity) in animals and humans. Heavy metals are reported to impact signaling cascade and associated factors leading to apoptosis.

  • Helix 8 Is the Essential Structural Motif of Mechanosensitive Gpcrs
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-13722-0 OPEN Helix 8 is the essential structural motif of mechanosensitive GPCRs Serap Erdogmus1,10, Ursula Storch1,2,10, Laura Danner1, Jasmin Becker1, Michaela Winter1, Nicole Ziegler3, Angela Wirth4,5, Stefan Offermanns4,6, Carsten Hoffmann 7, Thomas Gudermann1,8,9*& Michael Mederos y Schnitzler1,8* G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are versatile cellular sensors for chemical stimuli, but 1234567890():,; also serve as mechanosensors involved in various (patho)physiological settings like vascular regulation, cardiac hypertrophy and preeclampsia. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying mechanically induced GPCR activation have remained elusive. Here we show that mechanosensitive histamine H1 receptors (H1Rs) are endothelial sensors of fluid shear stress and contribute to flow-induced vasodilation. At the molecular level, we observe that H1Rs undergo stimulus-specific patterns of conformational changes suggesting that mechanical forces and agonists induce distinct active receptor conformations. GPCRs lacking C-terminal helix 8 (H8) are not mechanosensitive, and transfer of H8 to non-responsive GPCRs confers, while removal of H8 precludes, mechanosensitivity. Moreover, disrupting H8 structural integrity by amino acid exchanges impairs mechanosensitivity. Altogether, H8 is the essential structural motif endowing GPCRs with mechanosensitivity. These findings provide a mechanistic basis for a better understanding of the roles of mechanosensitive GPCRs in (patho)physiology. 1 Walther Straub Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Goethestr. 33, 80336 Munich, Germany. 2 Institute for Cardiovascular Prevention (IPEK), Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Pettenkoferstr. 9, 80336 Munich, Germany. 3 Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Julius Maximilian University of Würzburg, Versbacher Str. 9, 97078 Würzburg, Germany.

    Supplementary Methods Reagents and solutions Fura-2-acetoxymethyl ester (AM), fluo-4-AM, oregon green 488 BAPTA-1-AM, and DAF-FM diacetate, T2R4 (OSR00153W) and T2R46 (OSR00137W) antibodies were from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Waltham, MA USA). T2R16 (ab75106) and GLUT1 (ab15039) antibodies were from Abcam. BAPTA-AM, parthenolide, apigenin, L- and D-NG-nitroarginine methyl ester (L-NAME and D-NAME), cPTIO, xestospongin C, thapsigargin, ionomycin, U73122, U73343, KT5823, ranitidine, cetirizine, 3oxoC12HSL, - - and fluorometric NO2 /NO3 kit were from Cayman (Ann Arbor, MI USA). 4’-fluoro-6-methoxyflavanone (2- (4-fluorophenyl)-6-methoxychroman-4-one) was purchased from VitaScreen, LLC (Urbana-Champaign, IL USA). Plasmid encoding AKAR-4 [1] (Addgene # 61619) was from Jin Zhang (University of California San Diego, San Diego, CA USA). EPAC-SH187 construct (mTurq2Δ_Epac(CD,ΔDEP, Q270E)_tdcp173Ven) [2] was from K. Jalink and J. Klarenbeek (Netherlands Cancer Institute, Amsterdam, The Netherlands). Recombinant human IL-4 and M-CSF and ELISAs for IL-10 and IL-12 were from Peprotech (Rocky Hill, NJ USA). Pertussis toxin (PTX) was from Tocris (Minneapolis, MN USA) Unless indicated elsewhere, all other reagents were from Sigma Aldrich (St. Louis, MO USA). Stock solutions of PQS, HHQ, DHQ, and 3oxoC12HSL were made at 100 mM in DMSO (≥1000x). PQS, HHQ, and 3oxoC12HSL have poor aqueous solubility that may be enhanced in vivo biosurfactant rhamnolipids produced by these bacteria [3]. We noted a precipitation and loss of activity of PQS and HHQ after ~30 min in aqueous solution; therefore, working solutions were diluted from stocks immediately before use for each experiment with vigorous vortexing (>90 sec) prior to addition of a 2x working solution (200 µM PQS or HHQ for most experiments) of the compound into a well of a chambered coverglass (CellVis, Mountain View, CA USA) containing cells and an equal volume of HBSS.

Marsden,1 Jennifer B. Beattie,1 Jenna Friedenthal,2 and Reed C. Carroll1 1Dominick P. Purpura Department of Neuroscience, Rose Kennedy Center for Mental Retardation, Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University, Bronx, New York 10461, and 2Department of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut 06520 The trafficking of postsynaptic AMPA receptors (AMPARs) is a powerful mechanism for regulating the strength of excitatory synapses. It has become clear that the surface levels of inhibitory GABAA receptors (GABAARs) are also subject to regulation and that GABAAR trafficking may contribute to inhibitory plasticity, although the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Here, we report that NMDAreceptoractivation,whichhasbeenshowntodriveexcitatorylong-termdepressionthroughAMPARendocytosis,simultaneously increases expression of GABAARs at the dendritic surface of hippocampal neurons. This NMDA stimulus increases miniature IPSC amplitudes and requires the activity of Ca 2ϩ calmodulin-dependent kinase II and the trafficking proteins N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor, GABA receptor-associated protein (GABARAP), and glutamate receptor interacting protein (GRIP). These data demonstrate for the first time that endogenous GABARAP and GRIP contribute
