Opis:
It is widely accepted that Ca2+ is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum by a specialized type of calcium channel, i.e., ryanodine receptor, by the process of Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release. This process is triggered mainly by dihydropyridine receptors, i.e., L-type (long lasting) calcium channels, directly or indirectly interacting with ryanodine receptor. In addition, multiple endogenous and exogenous compounds were found to modulate the activity of both types of calcium channels, ryanodine and dihydropyridine receptors. These compounds, by changing the Ca2+ transport activity of these channels, are able to influence intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis. As a result not only the overall Ca2+ concentration becomes affected but also spatial distribution of this ion in the cell. In cardiac and skeletal muscles the release of Ca2+ from internal stores is triggered by the same transport proteins, although by their specific isoforms. Concomitantly, heart and skeletal muscle specific regulatory mechanisms are different.

Opis:
The study aimed to check the effectiveness of anticancer therapy combining a vascular-disruptive drug (combretastatin phosphate, CA4P) and a liposomal formulation of a chemotherapeutic (doxorubicin). CA4P was synthesized in our laboratory according to a previously described procedure. The antivascular drug and long-circulating doxorubicin-loaded liposomes were used to treat B16-F10 murine melanoma experimental tumors. Seventy-four hours after drug administration, a decrease in the number of tumor blood vessels was apparent and necrotic areas within tumors were visible. Combination therapy consisting of alternate administrations of CA4P and liposomal doxorubicin yielded greater inhibition of tumor growth than monotherapies alone. The best therapeutic results were obtained with the antivascular drug administered intratumorally every second day at 50 mg/kg body mass. In the case of combined therapy, the best results were obtained when the vascular-disruptive agent (CA4P) and the antineoplastic agent (liposomal doxorubicin) were administered in alternation.

Opis:
There is a significant number of data confirming that the maintenance of calcium homeostasis in a living cell is a complex, multiregulated process. Calcium efflux from excitable cells (i.e., neurons) occurs through two main systems - an electrochemically driven Na+/Ca2+ exchanger with a low Ca2+ affinity (K0.5 = 10-15 μM), and a plasmalemmal, specific Ca2+-ATPase, with a high Ca2+ affinity (K0.5 < 0.5-1 μM), whereas in nonexcitable cells (i.e., erythrocytes) the calcium pump is the sole system responsible for the extrusion of calcium ions. The plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase (PMCA) is a ubiquitously expressed protein, and more than 26 transcripts of four PMCA genes are distributed in a tissue specific manner. Differences in the structure and localization of PMCA variants are thought to correlate with specific regulatory properties and may have consequences for proper cellular Ca2+ signaling. The regulatory mechanisms of calcium pump activity have been studied extensively, resulting in a new view of the functioning of this important molecule in the membranes.

Opis:
We found that in starfish oocytes two different enzymes, phosphatidylserine synthase-1 (PSS1) and -2 (PSS2), which synthesize phosphatidylserine by a base-exchange reaction, are present. We studied phosphatidylserine synthesis in immature oocytes which still contain the nucleus (germinal vesicles) and in mature cells, in which the re-initiation of the meiotic cycle induced by the hormone 1-methyladenine led to structural changes in the endoplasmic reticulum, to the disappearance of the nuclear envelope and to the intermixing of the nucleoplasm with the cytoplasm. It was found that the levels of PSS1 and PSS2 transcripts were higher in immature and mature oocytes, respectively. The level of the expressed PSS2 protein, higher than that of PSS1, was not influenced by the maturation process, whereas the level of PSS1 protein was higher in immature than in mature oocytes. Serine incorporation into phosphatidylserine was enhanced in immature oocytes. The depletion of calcium stores by thapsigargin resulted in 50% lowering of phosphatidylserine synthesis. We suggest that changes in phosphatidylserine synthesis may be affected by the release of calcium stored in the nuclear envelope and in the endoplasmic reticulum, the membranes that undergo disintegration and fragmentation during meiosis. The reason for the greater synthesis of PS may be the higher level of expression of PSS1 in immature oocytes.

Opis:
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) result from the incomplete combustion of natural or synthetic organic materials. The working environment at a coke plant can negatively affect the employed workers who were exposed to coke oven emissions containing PAHs, which formed and released into the environment by the process of pyrolysis of coke. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the exposure of PAHs and the risk of genetic damages such as chromosomal alteration (CA), micronucleus (MN), and DNA damage (PCR-RFLP) in peripheral blood lymphocytes of 27 coke oven workers and equal number of control subjects. The exposed subjects and controls were divided into two groups based on their age (group I<35 years and group II ≥35 years). The exposed subjects were further classified into two groups based on the exposure period (<12 years and ≥12 years). The frequencies of CA and MN in exposed subjects are relatively high with respect to controls. The XRCC1 399 Arg/gln polymorphism showed a substantial smaller difference in allele frequencies between exposed and control subjects. Based on present data, it was concluded that coke oven workers under risk should be monitored for adverse effects of the any long-term exposure.

This brief review attempts to summarize some of the major phases of muscle research from Leeuwenhoek's description of sarcomeres in 1674, through Galvani's observation of "animal electricity" in 1791, to the discovery of Ca2+ as the key messenger in the coupling of nerve excitation to muscle contraction. The emerging molecular mechanism of the contraction process is one of the great achievements of biology, reflecting the intimate links between physics, chemistry and the life Sciences in the solution of biological problems.

Opis:
Changes in the Ca2+ concentration are thought to affect many processes, including signal transduction in a vast number of biological systems. However, only in few cases the molecular mechanisms by which Ca2+ mediates its action are as well understood as in phototransduction. In dark-adapted photoreceptor cells, the equilibrium level of cGMP is maintained by two opposing activities, such as phosphodiesterase (PDE) and guanylate cyclase (GC). Upon absorption of photons, rhodopsin-G-protein-mediated activation of PDE leads to a transient decrease in [cGMP] and subsequently to lowering of [Ca2+]. In turn, lower [Ca2+] increases net production of cGMP by stimulation of GC until dark conditions are re-established. This activation of GC is mediated by Ca2+-free forms of Ca2+-binding proteins termed GC-activating proteins (GCAPs). The last decade brought the molecular identification of GCs and GCAPs in the visual system. Recent efforts have been directed toward understanding the properties of GC at the physiological and structural levels. Here, we summarize the recent progress and present a list of topics of ongoing research.

Opis:
In the previous study (Podlubnaya et al., 1999, J. Struc. Biol. 127, 1-15) Ca2+-induced reversible structural transitions in synthetic filaments of pure fast skeletal and cardiac muscle myosins were observed under rigor conditions (-Ca2+/+ Ca2+). In the present work these studies have been extended to new more order-producing conditions (presence of ATP in the absence of Ca2+) aimed at arresting the relaxed structure in synthetic filaments of both fast and slow skeletal muscle myosin. Filaments were formed from column-purified myosins (rabbit fast skeletal muscle and rabbit slow skeletal semimebranosus proprius muscle). In the presence of 0.1 mM free Ca2+, 3 mM Mg2+ and 2 mM ATP (activating conditions) these filaments had a spread structure with a random arrangement of myosin heads and subfragments 2 protruding from the filament backbone. Such a structure is indistinguishable from the filament structures observed previously for fast skeletal, cardiac (see reference cited above) and smooth (Podlubnaya et al., 1999, J. Muscle Res. Cell Motil. 20, 547-554) muscle myosins in the presence of 0.1 mM free Ca2+. In the absence of Ca2+ and in the presence of ATP (relaxing conditions) the filaments of both studied myosins revealed a compact ordered structure. The fast skeletal muscle myosin filaments exhibited an axial periodicity of about 14.5 nm and which was much more pronounced than under rigor conditions in the absence of Ca2+ (see the first reference cited). The slow skeletal muscle myosin filaments differ slightly in their appearance from those of fast muscle as they exhibit mainly an axial repeat of about 43 nm while the 14.5 nm repeat is visible only in some regions. This may be a result of a slightly different structural properties of slow skeletal muscle myosin. We conclude that, like other filaments of vertebrate myosins, slow skeletal muscle myosin filaments also undergo the Ca2+-induced structural order-disorder transitions. It is very likely that all vertebrate muscle myosins possess such a property.
