Ca2+ release triggered by NAADP in hepatocyte microsomes.

NAADP (nicotinic acid-adenine dinucleotide phosphate) is fast emerging as a new intracellular Ca2+-mobilizing messenger. NAADP induces Ca2+ release by a mechanism that is distinct from IP3 (inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate)- and cADPR (cADP-ribose)-induced Ca2+ release. In the present study, we demonstrated that micromolar concentrations of NAADP trigger Ca2+ release from rat hepatocyte microsomes. Cross-desensitization to IP3 and cADPR by NAADP did not occur in liver microsomes. We report that non-activating concentrations of NAADP can fully inactivate the NAADP-sensitive Ca2+-release mechanism in hepatocyte microsomes. The ability of thapsigargin to block the NAADP-sensitive Ca2+ release is not observed in sea-urchin eggs or in intact mammalian cells. In contrast with the Ca2+ release induced by IP3 and cADPR, the Ca2+ release induced by NAADP was completely independent of the free extravesicular Ca2+ concentration and pH (in the range 6.4-7.8). The NAADP-elicited Ca2+ release cannot be blocked by the inhibitors of the IP3 receptors and the ryanodine receptor. On the other hand, verapamil and diltiazem do inhibit the NAADP- (but not IP3- or cADPR-) induced Ca2+ release.
