Leuven, Campus Gasthuisberg O/N, Louvain, Belgium Fertilization in mammalian eggs is characterized by the presence of intracellular calcium ([Ca2؉]i) oscillations. In mouse eggs, these oscillations cease after a variable period of time and this is accompanied by a decrease in inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) responsiveness and down-regulation of the IP3R type 1 (IP3R-1). To investigate the signaling pathway responsible for inducing IP3R-1 down-regulation during fertilization, mouse eggs were exposed to or .injected with several Ca2؉-releasing agonists and the amounts of IP3R-1 immunoreactivity evaluated by Western blotting ,Exposure to ethanol or ionomycin, which induce a single [Ca2؉]i rise, failed to signal down-regulation of IP3R-1. However Ca2؉]i oscillations induced by injection of boar sperm fractions (SF), which presumably stimulate production of IP3, or] adenophostin A, an IP3R agonist, both induced down-regulation of IP3R-1 of a magnitude similar to or greater than that observed after fertilization. Exposure to thimerosal, an oxidizing agent that modifies the IP3R without stimulating production of IP3, also initiated down-regulation of IP3R-1, although oscillations initiated by SrCl2 failed to evoke down-regulation of IP3R-1. The degradation of IP3R-1 in mouse eggs appears to be mediated by the proteasome pathway because it was inhibited by preincubation with lactacystin, a very specific proteasome inhibitor. We therefore suggest that persistent stimulation of the phosphoinositide pathway in mouse eggs by the sperm during fertilization or by injection of SF leads to down-regulation of the IP3R-1. © 2000 Academic Press ;Key Words: [Ca2؉]i oscillations; oocytes; mammalian eggs; sperm factor; adenophostin A; thimerosal; strontium chloride proteasome.

Ehrlich J Clin Invest. 2006;116(6):1668-1674. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI22466. Research Article Neuroscience Regulation and dysregulation of intracellular calcium (Ca2+) signaling via the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP3R) has been linked to many cellular processes and pathological conditions. In the present study, addition of neuronal calcium sensor-1 (NCS-1), a high-affinity, low-capacity, calcium-binding protein, to purified InsP3R type 1 (InsP3R1) increased the channel activity in both a calcium-dependent and -independent manner. In intact cells, enhanced expression of NCS-1 resulted in increased intracellular calcium release upon stimulation of the phosphoinositide signaling pathway. To determine whether InsP3R1/NCS-1 interaction could be functionally relevant in bipolar disorders, conditions in which NCS-1 is highly expressed, we tested the effect of lithium, a salt widely used for treatment of bipolar disorders. Lithium inhibited the enhancing effect of NCS-1 on InsP3R1 function, suggesting that InsP3R1/NCS-1 interaction is an essential component of the pathomechanism of bipolar disorder.

  • Regulation of Autophagy by the Inositol Trisphosphate Receptor

Here, we show that knockdown of the IP3 receptor (IP3R) with small interfering RNAs and pharmacological IP3R blockade is a strong stimulus for the induction of autophagy. The IP3R is known to reside in the membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) as well as within ER–mitochondrial contact sites, and IP3R blockade triggered the autophagy of both ER and mitochondria, as exactly observed in starvation-induced autophagy. ER stressors such as tunicamycin and thapsigargin also induced autophagy of ER and, to less extent, of mitochondria. Autophagy triggered by starvation or IP3R blockade was inhibited by Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL specifically targeted to ER but not Bcl-2 or Bcl-XL proteins targeted to mitochondria. In contrast, ER stress-induced autophagy was not inhibited by Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL. Autophagy promoted by IP3R inhibition could not be attributed to a modulation of steady-state Ca2 þ levels in the ER or in the cytosol, yet involved the obligate contribution of Beclin-1, autophagy-related gene (Atg)5, Atg10, Atg12 and hVps34.

  • Role of the Inositol 1,4,5-Trisphosphate Receptor/Ca2+-Release Channel in Autophagy Jan B Parys*, Jean-Paul Decuypere and Geert Bultynck
    Parys et al. Cell Communication and Signaling 2012, 10:17 http://www.biosignaling.com/content/10/1/17 REVIEW Open Access Role of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor/Ca2+-release channel in autophagy Jan B Parys*, Jean-Paul Decuypere and Geert Bultynck Abstract Autophagy is an important cell-biological process responsible for the disposal of long-lived proteins, protein aggregates, defective organelles and intracellular pathogens. It is activated in response to cellular stress and plays a role in development, cell differentiation, and ageing. Moreover, it has been shown to be involved in different pathologies, including cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. It is a long standing issue whether and how the Ca2+ ion is involved in its regulation. The role of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor, the main intracellular Ca2+-release channel, in apoptosis is well recognized, but its role in autophagy only recently emerged and is therefore much less well understood. Positive as well as negative effects on autophagy have been reported for both the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor and Ca2+. This review will critically present the evidence for a role of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor/Ca2+-release channel in autophagy and will demonstrate that depending on the cellular conditions it can either suppress or promote autophagy. Suppression occurs through Ca2+ signals directed to the mitochondria, fueling ATP production and decreasing AMP-activated kinase activity. In contrast, Ca2+-induced autophagy can be mediated by several pathways including calmodulin-dependent kinase kinase β, calmodulin-dependent kinase I, protein kinase C θ, and/or extracellular signal-regulated kinase.

Restoration of PI(4,5)P2 levels after phospholipase C activation is therefore essential for a return to basal neuronal activity. However, the dynamics of phosphoinositide metabolism have not been analyzed in neurons. We measured dynamic changes of 2ϩ PI(4,5)P2 , phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate, diacylglycerol, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, and Ca upon muscarinic stimulation in sympathetic neurons from adult male Sprague-Dawley rats with electrophysiological and optical approaches. We used this kinetic information to develop a quantitative description of neuronal phosphoinositide metabolism. The measurements and analysis show and explain faster synthesis of PI(4,5)P2 in sympathetic neurons than in electrically nonexcitable tsA201 cells. They can be used to understand dynamic effects of receptor-mediated phospholipase C activation on excitability and other PI(4,5)P2-dependent processes in neurons. Key words: excitability; M-current; phosphoinositide metabolism; PI(4,5)P2 ; superior cervical ganglion neurons Significance Statement Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2] is a minor phospholipid in the cytoplasmic leaflet of the plasma membrane. Depletion of PI(4,5)P2 via phospholipase C-mediated hydrolysis leads to a decrease in exocytosis and alters electrical excitability in neurons.

The inositol 1,4,5- triphosphate receptor (IP3R) and ryanodine receptor (RyR) are large homotetrameric channels associated with the ER and serve as two major actors in ER-derived Ca2+ supply. Most of the knowledge on these receptors derives from mammalian systems that possess three genes for each receptor. These studies have inspired work on synonymous receptors in insects, which encode a single IP3R and RyR. In the current review, we focus on a fundamental, common question: “why do insect cells possess two Ca2+ channel receptors in the ER?”. Through a comparative approach, this review covers the discovery of RyRs and IP3Rs, examines their structures/functions, the pathways that they interact with, and their Citation: Toprak, U.; Do˘gan,C.; potential as target sites in pest control.

  • RCN1 Suppresses ER Stress-Induced Apoptosis Via Calcium Homeostasis and PERK–CHOP Signaling
    OPEN Citation: Oncogenesis (2017) 6, e304; doi:10.1038/oncsis.2017.6 www.nature.com/oncsis ORIGINAL ARTICLE RCN1 suppresses ER stress-induced apoptosis via calcium homeostasis and PERK–CHOP signaling SXu1,3,YXu1,3, L Chen1, Q Fang1, S Song1, J Chen1,2,4 and J Teng1,4 Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is caused by the disturbance of ER homeostasis and leads to the activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR), which alleviates stress at an early stage and triggers apoptosis if homeostasis fails over a prolonged timeframe. Here, we report that reticulocalbin 1 (RCN1), a member of the CREC family, is transactivated by nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) during ER stress and inhibits ER stress-induced apoptosis. The depletion of RCN1 increases the UPR during drug-induced ER stress by activating PRKR-like ER kinase–CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein-homologous protein (PERK–CHOP) signaling, thus inducing apoptosis. Furthermore, we found that the first two EF-hand calcium-binding motifs of RCN1 specifically interact with inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor type 1 (IP3R1) on loop 3 of its ER luminal domain and inhibit ER calcium release and apoptosis. Together, these data indicate that RCN1, a target of NF-κB, suppresses ER calcium release by binding to IP3R1 and decreases the UPR, thereby inhibiting ER stress-induced apoptosis.
