Abstract:
Endothelial cells form and secrete mediators that modulate tone of underlying smooth muscle. The signal for their release or synthesis is increased intracellular Ca activity resulting from intracellular Ca release and transmembrane Ca fluxes. Ca influx can occur via different Ca-permeable ion channels, including Ca-activated K channels.

Abstract:
Golgi antiapoptotic protein (GAAP) is a novel regulator of cell death that is highly conserved in eukaryotes and present in some poxviruses, but its molecular mechanism is unknown. Given that alterations in intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis play an important role in determining cell sensitivity to apoptosis, we investigated if GAAP affected Ca2+ signaling. Overexpression of human (h)-GAAP suppressed staurosporine-induced, capacitative Ca2+ influx from the extracellular space. In addition, it reduced histamine-induced Ca2+ release from intracellular stores through inositol trisphosphate receptors. h-GAAP not only decreased the magnitude of the histamine-induced Ca2+ fluxes from stores to cytosol and mitochondrial matrices, but it also reduced the induction and frequency of oscillatory changes in cytosolic Ca2+. Overexpression of h-GAAP lowered the Ca2+ content of the intracellular stores and decreased the efficacy of IP3, providing possible explanations for the observed results. Opposite effects were obtained when h-GAAP was knocked down by siRNA. Thus, our data demonstrate that h-GAAP modulates intracellular Ca2+ fluxes induced by both physiological and apoptotic stimuli.

Abstract:
Experiments were performed to determine whether gill transepithelial calcium fluxes in the freshwater trout (Salmo gairdneri) are passive or require active transport and to characterize the mechanisms involved. A comparison of the in vivo unidirectional flux ratios with the flux ratios calculated according to the transepithelial electrochemical gradients revealed that calcium uptake from the water requires active transport of Ca2+. The inhibition of calcium uptake by external lanthanum, the specific deposition of lanthanum on the apical surface of chloride cells, and the favorable electrochemical gradient for calcium across the apical membrane suggest that the initial step in branchial calcium uptake is the passive entry of calcium into the cytosol of chloride cells through apical channels that are permeable to calcium. The study of gill basolateral plasma membrane vesicles demonstrated the existence of a high-affinity calmodulin-dependent calcium-transporting system [half-maximal Ca2+ concentration (K0.5) = 160 nM, Vmax = 1.86 nmol.min-1.mg protein-1]. This system actively transports calcium from the cytosol of chloride cells into the plasma against a sizeable electrochemical gradient, thereby completing the transepithelial uptake of calcium. Calcium efflux occurs passively through paracellular pathways between chloride cells and adjacent pavement cells or between neighboring pavement cells.

ABSTRACTBipolar disorder has attracted numerous research from different neurobiological angles. This review will summarize selected findings focusing on the role of disturbed transmem-braneous ion fluxes. Several mood stabilizers exhibit a distinct profile including effects on sodium, calcium and potassium conductance. In summary, some decisive mechanisms of action as calcium antagonism and modulation of potassium currents may play a crucial role in the success of any given mood stabilizer in bipolar disorder.

Abstract:
Calcium and sucrose permeabilities (PCa or Psucrose) were calculated from the fluxes of 45Ca and [3H]sucrose across perfused everted and normal configurations of the perineurial cylinder isolated from the frog sciatic nerve and from fluxes into an intact nerve segment bathed in Ringer. Mean PCa for influx across the isolated perineurium equaled 10.2 +/- 0.6 X 10(-7) cm/s (n = 16) compared with Psucrose = 7.4 +/- 0.4 X 10(-7) cm/s. For efflux, PCa = 27.5 +/- 5.0 X 10(-7) cm/s and Psucrose = 23.2 +/- 4.7 X 10(-7) cm/s. The mean ratio of PCa for efflux to PCa for influx (2.7 +/- 0.5) was not significantly different from the flux ratio for sucrose (3.1 +/- 0.7). No effect on PCa or Psucrose was observed when the calcium concentration in the bath was varied from 0.5 to 20 mM, when Na-free Ringer was perfused, or when ouabain, La3+, or 2,4-dinitrophenol was applied. Asymmetrical fluxes across the perineurial cylinder were due presumably to bulk flow and resultant solvent drag out of the lumen caused by perfusion pressure. Calcium accumulated in the perineurial tissue in a saturable manner with a Km of 80 microM and a Bmax of 0.22 mumol/g wet wt. The half time for calcium exchange from the external medium to the nerve was calculated as 3 h. This long half time and the calcium-sequestering ability of the perineurium suggest that the perineurium can stabilize endoneurial calcium during transient changes in the calcium concentration of plasma.

Abstract:
The skin overlying the cleithrum bone of freshwater-acclimated rainbow trout contains numerous mitochondria-rich (MR) cells, as detected by DASPEI fluorescence. This tissue was mounted in vitro in an Ussing-style chamber with fresh water on the mucosal surface and saline supplemented with bovine serum albumin on the serosal surface. The preparation developed a high transepithelial resistance and a small transepithelial potential (Vt), positive on the serosal side. Radioisotopic flux measurements indicated that the preparation actively transported Ca2+ from the mucosal to the serosal surface, as assessed by the Ussing flux ratio criterion. Ca2+ transport was positively correlated with MR cell density. Cortisol pretreatment in vivo reduced MR cell density and increased Vt but did not significantly alter Ca2+ fluxes. Ca2+ transport was unaffected by adrenergic agonists (10(−5) mol l-1 adrenaline, clonidine, isoprenaline) or cyclic AMP stimulants (10(−3) mol l-1 dibutyryl cyclic adenosine monophosphate, db-cAMP, plus 10(−4) mol l-1 isobutylmethylxanthine, IBMX) applied to the serosal surface. The Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin (1 × 10(−6)-3.2 × 10(−6) mol l-1 on the mucosal surface) increased both unidirectional Ca2+ fluxes and caused Ca2+ to accumulate within the epithelium. Lanthanum (10(−4) mol l-1) did not inhibit unidirectional Ca2+ fluxes, but apparently displaced Ca2+ from binding sites on the mucosal surface. Unlike Ca2+, movements of Na+ and Cl- across the epithelium were passive, as assessed by the flux ratio criterion, and neither adrenaline nor db-cAMP plus IBMX had any effect on Na+ or Cl- fluxes or electrical properties. These results indicate that ion transport across the skin mediated by MR cells (‘chloride cells’) contributes to Ca2+ but not to NaCl balance in freshwater trout.

Abstract:
Prolactin has been reported to stimulate intestinal calcium absorption in young and mature, but not aging rats. The present study was performed on suckling rats to elucidate the actions of endogenous prolactin on calcium absorption in various intestinal segments. Before measuring the calcium fluxes, 9-day-old rats were administered for 7 days with 0.9% NaCl, s.c. (control), 3 mg/kg bromocriptine, i.p., twice daily to abolish secretion of endogenous pro lac tin, or bromocriptine plus exogenous 2.5 mg/kg prolactin, s.c. Thereafter, the 16-day-old rats were experimented upon by instilling the 45Ca-containing solution into the intestinal segments. The results showed that, under a physiological condition, the jejunum had the highest rate of calcium absorption compared with other segments (1.4 ± 0.35 µmol·h–1·cm–1, p < 0.05). The duodenum and ileum also manifested calcium absorption, whereas the colon showed calcium secretion. Lack of endogenous prolactin decreased lumen-to-plasma and net calcium fluxes in jejunum from 2.07 ± 0.31 to 1.19 ± 0.12 and 1.40 ± 0.35 to 0.88 ± 0.18 µmol·h–1·cm–1 (p < 0.05), respectively, and exogenous prolactin restored the jejunal calcium absorption to the control value. Endogenous prolactin also had an effect on the duodenum but, in this case, exogenous prolactin did not reverse the effect of bromocriptine. However, neither ileal nor colonic calcium fluxes were influenced by prolactin. Because luminal sodium concentration has been demonstrated to affect calcium absorption in mature rats, the effect of varying luminal sodium concentrations on calcium fluxes in suckling rats was evaluated. The jejunum was used due to its highest rate of calcium absorption. After filling the jejunal segments with 124 (control), 80, 40 mmol/L Na+-containing or Na+-free solution, increases in calcium absorption were found to be inversely related to luminal sodium concentrations in both control and bromocriptine-treated rats. The plasma concentration of 45Ca under luminal sodium free condition was also higher than that of the control condition (2.26% ± 0.07% vs. 2.01% ± 0.09% administered dose, p < 0.05). However, 3H-mannitol, a marker of the widening of tight junction that was introduced into the lumen, had a stable level in the plasma during an increase in plasma 45Ca, suggesting that the widening of tight junction was not required for enhanced calcium absorption. In conclusion, calcium absorption in suckling rats was of the highest rate in the jejunum where endogenous prolactin modulated calcium absorption without increasing the paracellular transport of mannitol. Key words: calcium absorption, intestinal segments, prolactin, suckling rats.

Abstract:
The prompt rise in cytosolic calcium induced by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in rat Sertoli cells suggests a role for calcium in FSH signal transduction. To evaluate the requirement for sodium in transmembrane calcium fluxes in Sertoli cells, we measured intracellular calcium concentration under sodium-free conditions and during stimulation by monensin and veratridine, used to elevate cytosolic sodium. Cytosolic calcium levels were measured by dual-wavelength spectrofluorimetry using freshly isolated cells loaded with fura-2 acetoxymethyl ester. Whereas, removal of extracellular sodium lowered cytosolic calcium in unstimulated cells from 89 +/- 4 to 75 +/- 8 nM, treatment with monensin and veratridine increased cytosolic calcium to 142 +/- 19 and 126 +/- 13 nM, respectively. Without extracellular calcium, monensin still produced 47% of the rise in cytosolic calcium observed in the presence of extracellular calcium, indicating approximately equal contributions of calcium from intracellular and extracellular sources. Blockade of voltage-sensitive or/and voltage-insensitive calcium channels by verapamil and ruthenium red was unable to completely prevent the monensin-induced elevation of cytosolic calcium. In addition tetrodotoxin failed to block the FSH-induced rise in cytosolic calcium. These observations, together with the considerable reduction in monensin-induced rise in cytosolic calcium under extracellular sodium-free condition, support the hypothesis that sodium-calcium exchange rather than the specific calcium or sodium channels regulate basal and monensin-induced transmembrane sodium and calcium fluxes in Sertoli cells.

Abstract:
Abstract. Sinking particles, once caught in sediment trap jars, release dissolved elements into the surrounding medium through leaching from their pore fluids, chemical dissolution and the activity of free exoenzymes. This results in an increase in dissolved elements in the trap jar supernatant. Elemental fluxes as traditionally measured by sediment traps underestimate total export when this particle-associated dissolved flux is not considered. The errors introduced are variable and alter both the absolute levels of flux as well as the stoichiometry of export. These errors have been quantified and corrections applied for samples from sediment traps in the North Atlantic based on measurements of excess dissolved carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, silica and calcium in the supernatant of the collection cups. At the base of the winter mixed layer, on average 90±6% of phosphorus fluxes are found as excess phosphate whereas for carbon and nitrogen dissolved concentrations account for 30 (±8)% and 47(±11)% of total fluxes respectively. Excess dissolved silica is on average 61 (±17)% of total biogenic silica flux. Little (<10%) of calcium is solubilized. The proportion of dissolved to total flux decreases with trap deployment depth. Calculations of the C:N:P ratios for particles only are well above the Redfield ratios of 106:16:1 (Redfield et al., 1963), although the mid-water dissolved N:P and N:Si values as well as the C:N:P ratios of remineralisation along isopycnals conform to the Redfield ratios at this site. Accounting for dissolved fluxes of all these elements brings the stoichiometry of export in agreement with the Redfield Ratio and with other geochemical estimates of winter mixed layer export. A factor of 3 to 4 higher ratios of organic: inorganic carbon export also implies that the net atmospheric CO2 sequestration by the biological pump is about 50% higher at this site when the dissolved elemental fluxes are considered. Solubilization is thus a process that should be accounted for in protocols used to measure vertical fluxes with sediment traps.

Abstract:
The novel Calcium-Magnesium-Aluminate (CMA) based premelted fluxes with different concentrations of MgO are developed and their corrosion to MgO/C brick is compared with traditional fluxing practice based on CaF2 addition. Results show that the corrosion of the MgO/C brick can be reduced obviously with initial high content of MgO employed in CMA. Additionally, the corrosion could be decreased correspondingly with the increase of MgO content in CMA fluxes, and the working lifetime of ladle slag zone can be extended by adding CMA flux.

Abstract:
Results of previous studies suggest that the transport of K+ by salivary ducts is under muscarinic control. The mechanisms by which this regulation occurs have not been well defined, however. In this paper, we describe mechanisms involved in the muscarinic regulation of K+ (86Rb) transport in HSG-PA, an epithelial cell line derived from human submandibular gland duct. Stimulation of HSG-PA cells by carbachol, a muscarinic agonist, increases both 86Rb influx and efflux, which results in a decrease in the equilibrium content of 86Rb within the cells. Increases in both fluxes are dose dependent with respect to carbachol concentration, and both responses can be blocked by atropine, a muscarinic antagonist. The carbachol-stimulated 86Rb fluxes appear to be calcium dependent since 1) the calcium ionophore A23187 increases 86Rb fluxes in these cells, 2) cells loaded with 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane- N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA; a calcium chelator) exhibit a reduced ability to respond to carbachol stimulation, and 3) removal of extracellular calcium concentration reduces the carbachol-stimulated effects. Treatment of HSG-PA cells with 10(-7) M phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) partially blocks the carbachol-stimulated changes in 86Rb fluxes, suggesting that protein kinase C plays a role in this response. PMA also partially blocks A23187-stimulated 86Rb influx, suggesting that activation of protein kinase C inhibits muscarinic-stimulated K+ influx by blocking either the Ca2+ signal (X. He, X. Wu, and B.J. Baum. Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 152: 1062-1069, 1988), steps subsequent to this effect, or both.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
