Extracellular NAD+ regulates intracellular calcium levels and induces activation of human granulocytes.
Beta-NAD+e (extracellular beta-NAD+), present at nanomolar levels in human plasma, has been implicated in the regulation of [Ca2+]i (the intracellular calcium concentration) in various cell types, including blood cells, by means of different mechanisms. Here, we demonstrate that micromolar NAD+e (both the alpha and the beta extracellular NAD+ forms) induces a sustained [Ca2+]i increase in human...
متن کاملExtracellular NAD+ regulates intracellular free calcium concentration in human monocytes.
Ca(2+) ions play a critical role in the biochemical cascade of signal transduction pathways, leading to the activation of immune cells. In the present study, we show that the exposure of freshly isolated human monocytes to NAD(+) results in a rapid concentration-dependent elevation of [Ca(2+)](i) (intracellular free Ca(2+) concentration) caused by the influx of extracellular Ca(2+). NAD(+) deri...
متن کاملAerolysin Induces G-protein Activation and Ca Release from Intracellular Stores in Human Granulocytes*
Aerolysin is a pore-forming toxin that plays a key role in the pathogenesis of Aeromonas hydrophila infections. In this study, we have analyzed the effect of aerolysin on human granulocytes (HL-60 cells). Proaerolysin could bind to these cells, was processed into active aerolysin, and led to membrane depolarization, indicating that granulocytes are potential targets for this toxin. Fura-2 measu...

متن کاملCalcium-sensing receptor activation induces intracellular calcium oscillations.
Parathyroid hormone secretion is exquisitely sensitive to small changes in serum Ca2+ concentration, and these responses are transduced via the Ca2+-sensing receptor (CaR). We utilized heterologous expression in HEK-293 cells to determine the effects of small, physiologically relevant perturbations in extracellular Ca2+ on CaR signaling via phosphatidylinositol-phospholipase C, using changes in...
