31 What is NAADP? Intro-II NAADP is a new potent second messenger derived from NADP. NAADP receptor is localised in lysosomes. The NAADP receptor is not known yet. Recently, up to four putative receptors have been proposed: TRP-ML1; TPC1; TPC2 and RyR. NAADP-R is inactive at high agonist concentrations, generating a bell-shaped concentration-response curve. NAADP signalling is thought to be a trigger signal that is subsequently amplified by CICR and influx.

33 Astrocytes Intro-II Traditional functions of Astrocytes: Structural and Metabolic support of neurons Neurotransmitter reuptake Regulation of ion concentration in the extracellular space New evidences: Astrocytes contain many neurotransmitter receptors Astrocytesrespond to agonist by increasing concentrations, which can expand in neighbouring astroyctesto produce waves Astrocyteexcitability is based on changes in concentrations New functions (tripartite synapse): Release of neurotransmitters (gliotransmission) Modulation of synaptic transmission

34 Objectives II To determine whether NAADP mobilises from lysosome-related vesicles in cortical astrocytes. To find out whether NAADP and lysosome-related vesicles mediate neurotransmitter-induced responses in cortical astrocytes. To elucidate the participation of NAADP and lysosome-related vesicles in mechanically induced waves between cortical astrocytes.

60 Conclusions - I 1. CHO MT58 cells at 40 o C undergo a rapid inhibition of PtdCho synthesis, followed byadecreaseinthemassofptdchoandalossofviability. 2. Cell death caused by inhibition of PtdCho synthesis takes place with very little chromatin condensation and DNA degradation, together with no activation of caspase-3. Therefore, cells die by a non apoptotic mechanism. 3. Inhibition of PtdCho synthesis involves overexpression of cathepsin D and the appearance of big autophagic vesicles with high levels of LC3-II. High LC3-II over time shows that inhibition of PtdCho synthesis blocks the progress of autophagy.

61 Conclusions- II 4. Astrocyte lysosomes contain and express NAADP receptors that can be activated by a cell permeable analogue of NAADP, NAADP-AM. 5. TheneurotransmittersATP,Endothelin-1andAcetylcholineinduce responses thatinpartareduetonaadp-mediated releasefromlysosomes. 6. Thepropagationof wavesinratcorticalastrocytesrequirestheactivationof purinergic receptors, but it does not depend on endothelin, cholinergic or bradykinin receptors. 7. NAADP-mediated release from lysosomes has a key role in the astrocytic excitability by modulating the velocity of propagation of waves, as well as the strength of response.
