The role of Trp3 in cellular regulation of Ca2+ entry by NO was studied in human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells. In vector-transfected HEK293 cells (controls), thapsigargin (TG)-induced (capacitative Ca2+ entry (CCE)-mediated) intracellular Ca2+signals and Mn2+ entry were markedly suppressed by the NO donor 2-(N,N-diethylamino)diazenolate-2-oxide sodium salt (3 μm) or by authentic NO (100 μm). In cells overexpressing Trp3 (T3-9), TG-induced intracellular Ca2+ signals exhibited an amplitude similar to that of controls but lacked sensitivity to inhibition by NO. Consistently, NO inhibited TG-induced Mn2+ entry in controls but not in T3-9 cells. Moreover, CCE-mediated Mn2+ entry into T3-9 cells exhibited a striking sensitivity to inhibition by extracellular Ca2+, which was not detectable in controls. Suppression of mitochondrial Ca2+ handling with the uncouplers carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone (300 nm) or antimycin A1 (-AA1) mimicked the inhibitory effect of NO on CCE in controls but barely affected CCE in T3-9 cells. T3-9 cells exhibited enhanced carbachol-stimulated Ca2+entry and clearly detectable cation currents through Trp3 cation channels. NO as well as carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone slightly promoted carbachol-induced Ca2+ entry into T3-9 cells. Simultaneous measurement of cytoplasmic Ca2+ and membrane currents revealed that Trp3 cation currents are inhibited during Ca2+ entry-induced elevation of cytoplasmic Ca2+, and that this negative feedback regulation is blunted by NO. Our results demonstrate that overexpression of Trp3 generates phospholipase C-regulated cation channels, which exhibit regulatory properties different from those of endogenous CCE channels. Moreover, we show for the first time that Trp3 expression determines biophysical properties as well as regulation of CCE channels by NO and mitochondrial Ca2+ handling. Thus, we propose Trp3 as a subunit of CCE channels. The role of Trp3 in cellular regulation of Ca2+ entry by NO was studied in human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells.

Cell Calcium. 1986; 7: 1-12Crossref PubMed Scopus (2115) Google Scholar). The molecular nature of CCE channels is still not clearly resolved. Nonetheless, increasing evidence suggests a role of members of the Trp protein family in the formation of CCE channel complexes (2Birnbaumer L. Zhu X. Jiang M. Boulay G. Peyton M. Vannier B. Brown D.

Romanin C. Zhu X. Schreibmayer W. FEBS Letters. 1998; 437: 101-106Crossref PubMed Scopus (142) Google Scholar). Various cellular mechanisms have been proposed for activation of CCE channels (4Fasolato C. Innocenti B. Pozzan T. Trends Pharmacol. Sci. 1994; 15: 77-83Abstract Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (440) Google Scholar), including a conformational coupling between IP3 receptors and CCE channels (5Ma H.T. Patterson R.L. van Rossum D.B. Birnbaumer L. Mikoshiba K. Gill D.L. Science. 2000; 287: 1647-1651Crossref PubMed Scopus (534) Google Scholar). A direct gating by interaction with a specific cytosolic domain of the IP3 receptor has been demonstrated for cation channels derived by overexpression of Trp3 protein, and activation of this Trp channel was found to depend on IP3 (6Kiselyov K. Xu X. Mozhayeva G. Kuo T. Pessah I. Mignery G. Zhu X. Birnbaumer L. Muallem S. Nature. 1998; 396: 478-482Crossref PubMed Scopus (563) Google Scholar, 7Boulay G. Brown D.M. Qin N. Jiang M. Dietrich A.

However, recent studies with cells lacking expression of all three types of IP3 receptors question a general role of IP3 in activation of CCE channels but confirm requirement of basal PLC activity (8Broad L.M.

Therefore, Trp species that are sensitive to PLC-derived signals such as IP3 and diacylglycerol appear as attractive candidates for proteins forming CCE channel complexes. Although heterologous overexpression of Trp3 or Trp6 clearly generates phospholipase C/IP3-dependent Ca2+ entry pathways (6Kiselyov K. Xu X. Mozhayeva G. Kuo T. Pessah I. Mignery G. Zhu X.

Thus, the cation channels derived by overexpression of Trp3 or Trp6 resemble native CCE channels in terms of their principle PLC dependence, but apparently lack the distinctive ability of CCE channels to sense the filling state of the Ca2+ stores. Nonetheless, Trp3 or Trp6 proteins may function as subunits of multimeric CCE channel complexes. This hypothesis has been put forward by the observation that Trp3 overexpression not only increases phospholipase C/IP3-dependent Ca2+ entry but in addition changes its pharmacological properties, leading to loss of sensitivity to block by Gd3+ (10Zhu X. Jiang M. Birnbaumer L. J. Biol. Chem. 1998; 273: 133-142Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (307) Google Scholar). These results were interpreted as the ability of Trp3 proteins to serve as functional subunits of CCE channel complexes (10Zhu X. Jiang M. Birnbaumer L. J. Biol. Chem. 1998; 273: 133-142Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (307) Google Scholar, 13Wu X. Babnigg G. Villereal M.L. Am. J. Physiol. 2000; 278: C526-C536Crossref PubMed Google Scholar). The present work was designed to test whether Trp3 interferes with the regulatory properties of CCE channels such as sensing local intracellular Ca2+ concentrations that are controlled by mitochondria (14Hoth M. Fanger C.M. Lewis R.S. J. Cell Biol. 1997; 137: 633-648Crossref PubMed Scopus (465) Google Scholar). Another important mechanism of CCE regulation is its inhibition by nitric oxide (NO), which has been proposed to promote refilling of the endoplasmic reticulum resulting in reduced CCE (15Trepakova E.S. Cohen R.A. 1999; PubMed Scopus Google Scholar). NO such as have been demonstrated to CCE into G. Graier W.F. 1998; Scopus Google Scholar) and cells (15Trepakova E.S.
