Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor in the liver:Expression and function

The liver is a complex organ that performs several functions to maintain homeostasis.These functions are modulated by calcium,a second messenger that regulates several intracellular events.In hepatocytes and cholangiocytes,which are the epithelial cell types in the liver,inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate(InsP3)receptors(ITPR)are the only intracellular calcium release channels.Three isoforms of the ITPR have been described,named type 1,type 2 and type 3.These ITPR isoforms are differentially expressed in liver cells where they regulate distinct physiological functions.Changes in the expression level of these receptors correlate with several liver diseases and hepatic dysfunctions.In this review,we highlight how the expression level,modulation,and localization of ITPR isoforms in hepatocytes and cholangiocytes play a role in hepatic homeostasis and liver pathology.

Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-kinases:functions and regulations

Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-kinase (IP3 3-kinase/IP3K) plays an important role in signal transduction in animal cellsby phosphorylating inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) to inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (IP4). Both IP3 and IP4 arecritical second messengers which regulate calcium (Ca2+) homeostasis. Mammalian IP3Ks are involved in many biologicalprocesses, including brain development, memory, learning and so on. It is widely reported that Ca2+ is a canonicalsecond messenger in higher plants. Therefore, plant IP3K should also play a crucial role in plant development. Recently,we reported the identification of plant IP3K gene (AtIpk2β/AtIP3K) from Arabidopsis thaliana and its characterization.Here, we summarize the molecular cloning, biochemical properties and biological functions of IP3Ks from animal, yeastand plant. This review also discusses potential functions of IP3Ks in signaling crosstalk, inositol phosphate metabolism,gene transcriptional control and so on.

High expression of type I inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor in the kidney of rats with hepatorenal syndrome

AIM To detect the expression of typeⅠ inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor(IP3 RI) in the kidney of rats with hepatorenal syndrome(HRS).METHODS One hundred and twenty-five Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups to receive an intravenous injection of D-galactosamine(D-Gal N) plus lipopolysaccharide(LPS; group G/L, n = 50), D-Gal N alone(group G, n = 25), LPS alone(group L, n = 25), and normal saline(group NS, n = 25), respectively.At 3, 6, 9, 12, and 24 h after injection, blood, liver, and kidney samples were collected. Hematoxylineosin staining of liver tissue was performed to assess hepatocyte necrosis. Electron microscopy was used to observe ultrastructural changes in the kidney. Western blot analysis and real-time PCR were performed to detect the expression of IP3 RI protein and m RNA in the kidney, respectively.RESULTS Hepatocyte necrosis was aggravated gradually, which was most significant at 12 h after treatment with D-galactosamine/lipopolysaccharide, and was characterized by massive hepatocyte necrosis. At the same time, serum levels of biochemical indicators including liver and kidney function indexes were all significantly changed. The structure of the renal glomerulus and tubules was normal at all time points. Western blot analysis indicated that IP3 RI protein expression began to rise at 3 h(P < 0.05) and peaked at 12 h(P < 0.01). Real-time PCR demonstrated that IP3 RI m RNA expression began to rise at 3 h(P < 0.05) and peaked at 9 h(P < 0.01).CONCLUSION IP3 RI protein expression is increased in the kidney of HRS rats, and may be regulated at the transcriptional level.

Expression of Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate Receptor mRNA in Myocardium of Spontaneous Hypertension Rats and Cultured Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells of Rats

Objective\ To investigate expression of inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate receptor (IP\-3R) mRNA on sacroplasmic reticular in myocardium of spontaneous hypertension rats (SHRs) and cultured vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) of rats and effects of perindopril and urapidil on them. Methods\ SHRs were orally given perindopril (1.0 mg·kg\+\{ 1\}·d\+\{ 1\}) or urapidil (15 mg·kg\+\{ 1\}·d\+\{ 1\}) for 24 weeks, respectively. Expression of IP\-3R mRNA was examined by semi quantitative reverse transcription polymers chain reaction (RT PCR) using three oligonuclotide primers for each subtype of IP\-3R with β actin as internal label. Results\ All subtypes of IP\-3R were expressed in myocardium of SHR, WKY and cultured VSMC. Expression of IP\-3R mRNA in left ventricle of SHR was markedly enhanced. Urapidil could down regulate expression of IP\-3R Ⅰand IP\-3R Ⅲ, perindopril slightly increased expression of IP\-3R Ⅱ and decreased expression of IP\-3R Ⅰand IP\-3R Ⅲ in myocardium of SHR. Conclusion\ Our results suggest that expression of IP\-3R mRNA in cardiovascular system could be regulated by urapidil and perindopril.

Altered expression of stromal interaction molecule(STIM)-calcium release-activated calcium channel protein(ORAI) and inositol1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors(IP_3Rs)in cancer:will they become a new battlefield for oncotherapy?

The stromal interaction molecule(STIM)-calcium release-activated calcium channel protein(ORAI) and inositol1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors(IP_3Rs) play pivotal roles in the modulation of Ca^(2+)-regulated pathways from gene transcription to cell apoptosis by driving calcium-dependent signaling processes.Increasing evidence has implicated the dysregulation of STIM-ORAI and IP_3Rs in tumorigenesis and tumor progression.By controlling the activities,structure,and/or expression levels of these Ca^(2+)-transporting proteins,malignant cancer cells can hijack them to drive essential biological functions for tumor development.However,the molecular mechanisms underlying the participation of STIM-ORAI and IP_3Rs in the biological behavior of cancer remain elusive.In this review,we summarize recent advances regarding STIM-ORAI and IP_3Rs and discuss how they promote cell proliferation,apoptosis evasion,and cell migration through temporal and spatial rearrangements in certain types of malignant cells.An understanding of the essential roles of STIM-ORAI and IP_3Rs may provide new pharmacologic targets that achieve a better therapeutic effect by inhibiting their actions in key intracellular signaling pathways.

Temperature-dependence and conformational basis of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor regulated by Ca^(2+)

The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (lnsP3) receptor was purified from bovine cerebellum and reconstituted in liposomes composed of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanola-mine (PE) (1:1) successfully. No effect of Ca2+ concentration on [3H]-lnsP3 binding to unreconsti-tuted lnsP3 receptor could be observed either at 4℃ or at 25℃, whereas the effect of [Ca2+] on reconstituted lnsP3 receptor depended on the temperature. The Ca2+ concentration outside the proteolipsome ([Ca2+]o) had no detectable effect on lnsP3 binding to lnsP3 receptor at 4℃. In contrast, with increase of [Ca2+]o from 0 to 100 nmol/L at 25℃, the lnsP3 binding activity increased gradually. Then the lnsP3 binding activity was decreased drastically at higher [Ca2+]0 and inhibited entirely at 50 nmol/L [Ca2+]. Conformational studies on intrinsic fluorescence of the reconstituted lnsP3 receptor and its quenching by Kl and HB indicated that the global conformation of reconstituted lnsP3 receptor could not be affected by [Ca2+]o at 4℃. While at 25℃, the effects of 10μmol/L [Ca2+]0 on global, membrane and cytoplasmic conformation of the reconstituted lnsP3 receptor were different significantly from that of 100 nmol/L [Ca2+]0.

Participation of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphategated calcium channel in the zona pellucida- and progesterone-induced acrosome reaction and calcium influx in human spermatozoa

The acrosome reaction is a prerequisite for fertilization,and its signaling pathway has been investigated for decades.Regardless of the type of inducers present,the acrosome reaction is ultimately mediated by the elevation of cytosolic calcium.Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-gated calcium channels are important components of the acrosome reaction signaling pathway and have been confirmed by several researchers.In this study,we used a novel permeabilization tool BioPORTER?and first demonstrated its effectiveness in spermatozoa.The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate type-1 receptor antibody was introduced into spermatozoa by BioPORTER?and significantly reduced the calcium influx and acrosome reaction induced by progesterone,solubilized zona pellucida,and the calcium ionophore A23187.This finding indicates that the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate type-1 receptor antibody is a valid inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor inhibitor and provides evidence of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-gated calcium channel involvement in the acrosome reaction in human spermatozoa.Moreover,we demonstrated that the transfer of 1,4,5-trisphosphate into spermatozoa induced acrosome reactions,which provides more reliable evidence for this process.In addition,by treating the spermatozoa with inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate/BioPORTER?in the presence or absence of calcium in the culture medium,we showed that the opening of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-gated calcium channels led to extracellular calcium influx.This particular extracellular calcium influx may be the major process of the final step of the acrosome reaction signaling pathway.
