Abstract:
Human bladder contraction mainly depends on Ca2+ influx via L-type voltage-gated Ca2+ channels and on RhoA/Rho kinase contractile signaling, which is upregulated in overactive bladder (OAB). Elocalcitol is a vitamin D receptor agonist inhibiting RhoA/Rho kinase signaling in rat and human bladder. Since in the normal bladder from Sprague-Dawley rats elocalcitol treatment delayed the carbachol-induced contraction without changing maximal responsiveness and increased sensitivity to the L-type Ca2+ channel antagonist isradipine, we investigated whether elocalcitol upregulated L-type Ca2+ channels in human bladder smooth muscle cells (hBCs). In hBCs, elocalcitol induced a rapid increase in intracellular [Ca2+], which was abrogated by the L-type Ca2+ channel antagonist verapamil. Moreover, hBCs exhibited L-type voltage-activated Ca2+ currents ( ICa), which were selectively blocked by isradipine and verapamil and enhanced by the selective L-type agonist BAY K 8644. Addition of elocalcitol (10−7 M) increased L-type ICa size and specific conductance by inducing faster activation and inactivation kinetics than control and BAY K 8644, while determining a significant negative shift of the activation and inactivation curves, comparable to BAY K 8644. These effects were strengthened in long-term treated hBCs with elocalcitol (10−8 M, 48 h), which also showed increased mRNA and protein expression of pore-forming L-type α1C-subunit. In the bladder from Sprague-Dawley rats, BAY K 8644 induced a dose-dependent increase in tension, which was significantly enhanced by elocalcitol treatment (30 μg·kg−1·day−1, 2 wk). In conclusion, elocalcitol upregulated Ca2+ entry through L-type Ca2+ channels in hBCs, thus balancing its inhibitory effect on RhoA/Rho kinase signaling and suggesting its possible efficacy for the modulation of bladder contractile mechanisms.

Abstract:
T-helper 1 (Th1) cell-mediated inflammatory responses predominate in the early pathogenesis of Graves’ disease (GD), whereas Th2 cell-mediated immunity may play a role in later stages. The chemokine CXCL10 and its receptor CXCR3 are expressed in most thyroid glands of early GD patients. Circulating CXCL10 levels inversely correlate with disease duration; CXCL10 maximal expression also correlates with interferon (IFN)γ levels in recent GD onset. Methimazole (MMI) reduces CXCL10 secretion by isolated thyrocytes, decreases serum CXCL10 levels, and promotes a transition from Th1 to Th2 dominance in patients in GD active phase. Vitamin D receptor agonists exhibit antiinflammatory properties and promote tolerance induction. We investigated the effects and the mechanism of action of a nonhypercalcemic vitamin D receptor agonist, elocalcitol (BXL-628), compared with MMI on CXCL10 secretion induced by proinflammatory cytokines. Furthermore, we studied the effects of both drugs on Th1, Th17, and Th2 cytokine secretion in CD4+ T cells. ELISA, cytometry, immunocytochemistry, Western blot, and quantitative real-time PCR were used for protein and gene analysis. In human thyrocytes, elocalcitol inhibited IFNγ and TNFα-induced CXCL10 protein secretion more potently than MMI. Elocalcitol impaired both cytokine intracellular pathways, whereas MMI was effective only on the IFNγ pathway. In CD4+ T cells, elocalcitol decreased Th1- and Th17-type cytokines, and promoted Th2-type cytokine secretion. Elocalcitol and MMI inhibited Th1 cytokine-mediated responses in thyrocytes and CD4+ T cells. In addition, elocalcitol promoted a shift toward a Th2 response. In conclusion, elocalcitol could represent a novel pharmacological tool in the treatment of autoimmune thyroid diseases.
