Paper

  • Eccentric contraction increases hydrogen peroxide levels and alters gene expression through Nox2 in skeletal muscle of male mice
    Ryotaro Kano; Tatsuya Kusano; Reo Takeda; Hideki Shirakawa; David C. Poole; Yutaka Kano; Daisuke Hoshino
    Journal of Applied Physiology, American Physiological Society, 137, 3, 778-788, 01 Sep. 2024, Peer-reviwed, This in vivo model successfully characterized the effects of eccentric (ECC) and concentric (CONC) contractions on cytosolic and mitochondrial [H2O2] in mouse skeletal muscle. Compared with CONC, ECC induced higher and more sustained [H2O2]cyto—an effect that was abolished by Nox2 inhibition. ECC-induced [H2O2]cyto elevations were requisite for altered gene expression.

    American journal of physiology. Regulatory, integrative and comparative physiology, 30 Oct. 2023, Peer-reviwed, True, Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and calcium ions (Ca2+) are functional regulators of skeletal muscle contraction and metabolism. Although H2O2 is one of the activators of the type-1 ryanodine receptor (RyR1) in the Ca2+ release channel, the interdependence between H2O2 and Ca2+ dynamics remains unclear. This study tested the following hypotheses using an in vivo model of mouse tibialis anterior (TA) skeletal muscle. 1. Under resting conditions, elevated cytosolic H2O2 concentration ([H2O2]cyto) leads to a concentration-dependent increase in cytosolic Ca2+concentration ([Ca2+]cyto) through its effect on RyR1. 2. In hypoxia (cardiac arrest) and muscle contractions (electrical stimulation), increased [H2O2]cyto induce Ca2+ accumulation. Cytosolic H2O2 (HyPer7) and Ca2+ (Fura-2) dynamics were resolved by TA bioimaging in C57BL/6J male mice under four conditions: Elevated exogenous H2O2, Cardiac arrest, Twitch and Tetanic contractions. Exogenous H2O2 (0.1-100mM) induced a concentration-dependent increase in [H2O2]cyto (+55%,0.1mM; +280%,100mM) and an increase in [Ca2+]cyto (+3%,1.0mM; +8%,10mM). This increase in [Ca2+]cyto was inhibited by pharmacological inhibition of RyR1 by dantrolene. Cardiac arrest-induced hypoxia increased [H2O2]cyto (+33%) and [Ca2+]cyto (+20%) 50min post-cardiac arrest. Compared to exogenous 1.0mM H2O2 condition, [H2O2]cyto after tetanic contractions rose less than one-tenth as much, while [Ca2+]cyto was 4.7-fold higher. In conclusion, substantial increases in [H2O2]cyto levels evoke only modest Ca2+ accumulation via their effect on the sarcoplasmic reticulum RyR1. On the other hand, contrary to hypoxia secondary to cardiac arrest, increases in [H2O2]cyto from contractions are small, indicating that H2O2 generation is unlikely to be a primary factor driving the significant Ca2+ accumulation after, especially tetanic, muscle contractions.

  • Ryanodine receptors mediate high intracellular Ca2+ and some myocyte damage following eccentric contractions in rat fast twitch skeletal muscle
    Tabuchi, A; Tanaka, Y; Takagi, R; Shirakawa, H; Shibaguchi, T; Sugiura, T; Poole, D.C; Kano, T
    American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology, 322, 1, R14-R27, 01 Jan. 2022, Peer-reviwed, True, Eccentric contractions (ECC) facilitate cytosolic calcium ion (Ca2+) release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and Ca2+ influx from the extracellular space. Ca2+ is a vital signaling messenger that regulates multiple cellular processes via its spatial and temporal concentration ([Ca2+]i) dynamics. We hypothesized that 1) a specific pattern of spatial/temporal intramyocyte Ca2+ dynamics portends muscle damage following ECC and 2) these dynamics would be regulated by the ryanodine receptor (RyR). [Ca2+]i in the tibialis anterior muscles of anesthetized adult Wistar rats was measured by ratiometric (i.e., ratio, R, 340/380 nm excitation) in vivo bioimaging with Fura-2 pre-ECC and at 5 and 24 h post-ECC (5 × 40 contractions). Separate groups of rats received RyR inhibitor dantrolene (DAN; 10 mg/kg ip) immediately post-ECC (+DAN). Muscle damage was evaluated by histological analysis on hematoxylin-eosin stained muscle sections. Compared with control (CONT, no ECC), [Ca2+]i distribution was heterogeneous with increased percent total area of high [Ca2+]i sites (operationally defined as R ≥ 1.39, i.e., ≥1 SD of mean control) 5 h post-ECC (CONT, 14.0 ± 8.0; ECC5h: 52.0 ± 7.4%, P < 0.01). DAN substantially reduced the high [Ca2+]i area 5 h post-ECC (ECC5h + DAN: 6.4 ± 3.1%, P < 0.01) and myocyte damage (ECC24h, 63.2 ± 1.0%; ECC24h + DAN: 29.1 ± 2.2%, P < 0.01). Temporal and spatially amplified [Ca2+]i fluctuations occurred regardless of DAN (ECC vs. ECC + DAN, P > 0.05). These results suggest that the RyR-mediated local high [Ca2+]i itself is related to the magnitude of muscle damage, whereas the [Ca2+]i fluctuation is an RyR-independent phenomenon.

  • In vitro Ca2+ dynamics induced by Ca2+ injection in individual rat skeletal muscle fibers.
    Wakizaka, M; Eshima, H; Tanaka, T; Shirakawa, H; Poole, D.C; Kano, Y
    Physiological Reports, 5, 5, e13180, 13 Mar. 2017, Peer-reviwed, True, In contrast to cardiomyocytes, store overload-induced calcium ion (Ca2+) release (SOICR) is not considered to constitute a primary Ca2+ releasing system from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) in skeletal muscle myocytes. In the latter, voltage-induced Ca2+ release (VICR) is regarded as the dominant mechanism facilitating contractions. Any role of the SOICR in the regulation of cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) and its dynamics in skeletal muscle in vivo remains poorly understood. By means of in vivo single fiber Ca2+ microinjections combined with bioimaging techniques, we tested the hypothesis that the [Ca2+]i dynamics following Ca2+ injection would be amplified and fiber contraction facilitated by SOICR. The circulation-intact spinotrapezius muscle of adult male Wistar rats (n = 34) was exteriorized and loaded with Fura-2 AM to monitor [Ca2+]i dynamics. Groups of rats underwent the following treatments: (1) 0.02, 0.2, and 2.0 mmol/L Ca2+ injections, (2) 2.0 mmol/L Ca2+ with inhibition of ryanodine receptors (RyR) by dantrolene sodium (DAN), and (3) 2.0 mmol/L Ca2+ with inhibition of SR Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA) by cyclopiazonic acid (CPA). A quantity of 0.02 mmol/L Ca2+ injection yielded no detectable response, whereas peak evoked [Ca2+]i increased 9.9 ± 1.8% above baseline for 0.2 mmol/L and 23.8 ± 4.3% (P < 0.05) for 2.0 mmol/L Ca2+ injections. The peak [Ca2+]i in response to 2.0 mmol/L Ca2+ injection was largely abolished by DAN and CPA (-85.8%, -71.0%, respectively, both P < 0.05 vs. unblocked) supporting dependence of the [Ca2+]i dynamics on Ca2+ released by SOICR rather than injected Ca2+ itself. Thus, this investigation demonstrates the presence of a robust SR-evoked SOICR operant in skeletal muscle in vivo.

    Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Challenging Exploratory Research, The University of Electro-Communications, Grant-in-Aid for Challenging Exploratory Research, Protein-based molecular tools were developed, aiming to establish the IP3 clamp method, a novel technique to control the intracellular IP3 concentrations in living cells by light. It was shown that the combination of human phospholipase C and plant photoreceptor proteins could give the photoactivatability to an IP3-producing enzyme. We also developed fluorescent IP3 probes that have favorable excitation/emission wavelengths to be used with photoactivatable enzymes in the IP3 clamp system., 15K15027

The results suggested that, although none of these proteins participate functionally in the maintenance of the Ca^<2+> oscillations by activating Ca^<2+> influx, STIM1 may have an novel role other than as an activator of store-operated Ca^<2+> entry., 21590229

    Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), Tokyo Women's Medical University, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), Repetitive transient increase in intracellular Ca^<2+> concentration ([Ca^<2+>]_i) called Ca^<2+> oscillations occur at fertilization of mammalian eggs, and trigger egg activation. Each [Ca^<2+>]_i rise is due to Ca^<2+> release from the endoplasmic reticulum mainly through inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP_3) receptors. Evidence indicates that Ca^<2+> oscillations are caused by cytosolic sperm factor driven into the ooplasm upon sperm-egg fusion. The Ca^<2+> oscillation-inducing factor is the egg-activating protein (EAP). A current strong candidate of EAP is a novel isozyme of IP_3-producing enzyme, phospholipase C-zeta (PLCζ). This study aims to characterize PLCζ and confirm whether PLCζ operates as EAP at fertilization. The following results were obtained. 1) Injection of recombinant PLCζ that was synthesized by baculovirus/Sf9 cell expression system induced Ca^<2+> oscillations in mouse eggs at low concentrations. 2) PLCζ has such a high Ca^<2+>-sensitivity of PLC activity that the enzyme can be active in resting cells at 〜100 nM [Ca^<2+>]_i, suitable for a putative EAP to be introduced into the egg at fertilization. 3) The N-terminal EF-hand domain 1 (EF1) and EF2 are important for the PLCζ activity, and EF3 is responsible for its high Ca^<2+> sensitivity. 4) C2 domain has substantial affinity to PI(3)P and, to the lesser extent, to PI(5)P. 5) Ca^<2+> oscillations were induced by injection of RNA encoding PLCζ fused with a fluorescent protein "Venus". The expressed PLCζ corresponded to the estimated amount contained in a single spermatozoon. 6) Expressed PLCζtranslocated into the formed pronucleus. 7) The nuclear localization signal was located at the X-Y linker region of PLCζ molecule. A highly coordinated three-dimensional structure involving a folding in the middle is thought to be required for not only Ca^<2+> oscillation-inducing activity but also nuclear translocation ability. These results support PLCζ as a strong candidate of EAP. To confirm whether PLCζ operates as EAP at fertilization, PLCζ-knockout mice were produced, and PLCζ-transgenic mice were prepared for reserve PLCζ in the knockout mice sperm., 16390055

    日本学術振興会, 科学研究費助成事業 奨励研究(A), 東京女子医科大学, 奨励研究(A), IP_3受容体Caチャネルを介した小胞体(ER)からのCa遊離の過程を理解するためには、ER内外のCa濃度差だけでなく、電位差(=ER膜電位)をも考慮して電気化学的現象としてとらえることが重要である。本研究では、膜電位感受性蛍光色素を用いてハムスター卵細胞におけるIP_3依存性Ca遊離の際のER膜電位変化を光学的に測定する、というアプローチを行っている。ハムスター卵は、リアノジン受容体系は存在せずIP_3受容体系のみである、細胞内のERの分布が均一である、などモデル系としての利点がある。 昨年度までの研究において、(1)Stylyl系膜電位依存性蛍光色素di-18:2-ANEPPSによるER膜電位の選択的な光学的測定系を確立し、さらに(2)IP_3によるCa遊離に伴うER内陰性の向きのER膜電位変化の存在の確認、(3)Kチャネル阻害剤によるIP_3誘発性Ca遊離の部分的抑制など、Ca遊離の制御因子としてのER膜電位の機能を示唆する実験結果を得た。 本年度は、さらに以下のような成果を得、その一部をすでに発表した。 (1)膜電位との同時測定に使用可能な蛍光Ca指示薬をスクリーニングし、その中でFura Redが可視光域での1波長励起2波長蛍光のratiometricな測定に用いることができることを見いだした。 (2)多波長同時記録型の蛍光検出器を導入し、多波長励起・多波長蛍光の単一細胞顕微蛍光測定システムを構築した。これにより、自家蛍光成分を排除してより定量的な蛍光測定を行うこと、また複数種の蛍光プローブを用いて複数の細胞内因子を同時に測定することが可能になる、と期待される。 (3)Ca動態についての包括的な数値モデルの構築に向け、その予備的段階のモデルを作成しマウス卵のCaオシレーションをシミュレートした。, 12770025

  • Identification of sperm-derived egg-activating factor and analysis of molecular mechanisms of intracellular Ca^<2+> increase at fertilization of mammalian eggs
    MIYAZAKI Shunichi; AWAJI Takeo; SHIRAISHI Koichi; SHIRAKAWA Hideki; ODA Shoji
    Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), Tokyo Women's Medical College, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), This study was performed as a step to elucidate the molecular mechanism by which the sperm induces an increase in intracellular Ca^<2+>, the pivotal signal for egg activation at fertilization. The following results were obtainde by microinjection techniques, Ca^<2+> image analysis, and confocal laser scanning microscopy. 1)As a phenomenological observation, we established the experimental condition in which sperm-egg fusion is formed only transiently without sperm entry into the sea urchin egg in the presence of a gamete fusion inhibitor, jaspisin. A localized Ca^<2+> rise restricted at the sperm binding site was recorded, separated fron the Ca^<2+> wave which spreads throughout the egg at normal fertilization. Spatiotemporal aspects of the sprem-induced localized Ca^<2+> rise were characterized in detail. 2) Injection of a mouse spermatozoon into an egg (intracytoplsmic sperm injection, ICSI) caused repetitive transient Ca^<2+> rises (Ca^<2+> oscillalions) as seen at fertilization, starting 15 to 30 minutes after sperm injection and persisting for several hours. Each Ca^<2+> rise occurred almost synchronously in the whole egg. The results suggested that a sperm cytosolic factor leaks out from the injected spermatozoon into the egg cytoplasm and can induce Ca^<2+> oscillations, even if sperm-egg binding is bypassed by ICSI. 3) We found that injection of a precursor sperm, round spermatids without flagellum (round spermatid injection, ROSI), can not induce any Ca^<2+> response in the egg but that combined injection of a potent agonist of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP_3) receptor resulted in egg activation (fertilization) associated with male and female pronucleus formation. About 25% of two-cell embryos transplanted into foster mothers developed to normal offspring. The newborn infants grew up to normal adults, which reproduced normal second generations. 4)We partially purified a cytosolic protein from hamster and ascidian spermatozoa that possesses the activity of inducing Ca^<2+> oscillations when injected into hamster, mouse, and ascidian eggs. Microinjection of the sperm factor into a localized region of the egg showed that the peripheral cytoplasm is more sensitive to the sperm factor to generate Ca^<2+> increase (possibly due to Ca^<2+> release from the endoplasmic reticulum through IP_3 receptors), compared with the central region of the egg. These results suggested that, at fertilization, a sperm cytosolic factor could be introduced into the cortical region of the egg cytoplasm through cytoplasmic continuity formed between the sperm and egg, and induce Ca^<2+> release in the egg. This study provided useful information for advancing further studies in future., 08457016

  • Physiological Study of the Mechanism Involved in Ca^<2+> Waves and Ca^<2+> Oscillations in Fertilized Mammalian Eggs
    MIYAZAKI Shunichi; ODA Shoji; SHIRAISHI Koichi; SHIRAKAWA Hideki
    Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for General Scientific Research (B), Tokyo Women's Medical College, Grant-in-Aid for General Scientific Research (B), An increase in intracellular calcium ion concentration (Ca) in eggs at fertilization triggers egg activation. Fertilized mammalian eggs show propagating Ca waves and repetitive Ca transients (Ca oscillations). The present study aimed to analyze the mechanism involved in the generation of these spatial and temporal Ca signals. 1. How does sperm-egg interaction generate signals leading to Ca responses in eggs? Molecules on the hamster egg plasma membrane that are suggested to mediate sperm-egg adhesion or binding were stimulated by thier ligands or antibodies, but no Ca response was not. The inhibitors of tyrosin kinases which are supposed to be associated with the membrane receptors did not block sperm-induced Ca responses. Thus evidence for the signal genetation in surface molecules was not obtained, leading us to think that cytoplas mic sperm factor (S) introduced into the egg may play more important role in the signal transduction of sperm-egg interaction. 2. IP_4-activatee Ca influx pathway. We physiologicaly identified inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakis phosphate (IP_4)-activated Ca influx pathway in hamster eggs. The Ca influx provides Ca to refill the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) from which Ca has been released by the action of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP_3), giving rise to repeated Ca release. 3. We observed using a confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) that the Ca wave in the fertilized hamster egg propagates deep in the cytoplasm, and that Ca in the nucleus also increases comparably with that in the surrouding cytoplasm. 4. The ER was stained by injected lipophilic fluorescent dye DiI and observed with CLSM.The ER was found to form a fine network throughout the egg, consistent with the distribution of IP_3 receptors. In immature oocytes the ER as well as IP_3 receptors was distributed inhomogeneously as dence patches in the surface area and aound the nucleus. Ca release induced by photocleavage of preinjected caged IP_3 occurred predominantly in the nuclear zone. These findings indicate that the redistribution of the ER and IP_3 receptors during oocyte maturation is a prerequisite factor for acquisition of the ability to undergo normal fertilization with the Ca waves., 05454141

  • 哺乳動物卵に於ける細胞内Caイオン遊離機構の生理学的解析
    宮崎 俊一; 中田 健; 白川 英樹
    日本学術振興会, 科学研究費助成事業 一般研究(C), 東京女子医科大学, 一般研究(C), 細胞内カルシウムイオン(Ca)は,二次メッセンジャ-として種々の重要な細胞機能を制御する。受精卵に於ては,表層顆粒の開口分泌を誘発して複数の精子の侵入を防ぐとともに,休止していた卵を代謝的に活性化して細胞分裂をもたらす引き金として重要な機機能を果たす。Ca増加機序として細胞内Ca貯蔵部位(Caストア)からの遊離があり,イノシト-ル三リン酸(IP_3)によって誘発されるIP_3ーinduced Carelease(IICR)と,Ca自身によって誘発されるCaーinduced Ca release(CICR)が知られている。本研究では,Caストア膜上に存在するIP_3受容体に対する単クロ-ン抗体(mAb)(大阪大学蛋白研究所,御子柴教授の研究室による)がIICRを機能的にブロックするという重要な知見を得,ハムスタ-卵に於けるCa遊離機構を生理学的に解析した。予めmAbとCa指示薬fura2を卵細胞内に注入し,1〜2時間後にIP_3をマイクロピペットから電流パルスで細胞内に注入し,遊離したCaをfura2蛍光による画像解析により記録した。mAb,の一つでIP_3受容体のCaチャンネル部位附近を認識する18A10は,濃度依存性にIICRを非競合的に抑制することを明らかにした。ハムスタ-卵は受精時に精子附着部位からの伝播性のCa増加と,くり返すCa増加を示す。抗体18A10は,このCa waveとCa oscillationをともに濃度依存的にブロックすることを明らかにした。他方,Ca注入によっても伝播性のCa遊離がおこり,CICRの存在を示唆するが,これもIP_3受容体抗体でブロックされることを見出した。このように,哺乳動物卵受精には,IP_3によるCa遊離機構が一義的なメカニズムとして実際に機能しており,IP_3受容体がCa waveとCa oscillationという,空間的,時間的シグナル伝達に主要な役割を果たすことを初めて明らかにした。研究結果を論文としてまとめあげ,‘Science'誌に投稿した。, 03670044
