The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and acidic organelles (endo-lysosomes) act as separate Ca(2+) stores that release Ca(2+) in response to the second messengers IP3 and cADPR (ER) or NAADP (acidic organelles). Typically, trigger Ca(2+) released from acidic organelles by NAADP subsequently recruits IP3 or ryanodine receptors on the ER, an anterograde signal important for amplification and Ca(2+) oscillations/waves. We therefore investigated whether the ER can signal back to acidic organelles, using organelle pH as a reporter of NAADP action. We show that Ca(2+) released from the ER can activate the NAADP pathway in two ways: first, by stimulating Ca(2+)-dependent NAADP synthesis; second, by activating NAADP-regulated channels. Moreover, the differential effects of EGTA and BAPTA (slow and fast Ca(2+) chelators, respectively) suggest that the acidic organelles are preferentially activated by local microdomains of high Ca(2+) at junctions between the ER and acidic organelles. Bidirectional organelle communication may have wider implications for endo-lysosomal function as well as the generation of Ca(2+) oscillations and waves.

Figure 1. Characterization of pHL changes in response to photolysis of caged NAADP. Sea urchin eggs were microinjected with caged NAADP (â¼0.5 µM cytosolic concentration) and photolysis effected with a UV laser as indicated. Images are pseudocolored ratios of one channel (pHL) or two channels (Ca2+), and time after photolysis indicated in seconds in the corner. The inset cartoons indicate the regions of interest from which the traces are derived. (A) In ratiometric pHL recordings, global photolysis (70% UV) evoked a larger response in the periphery (red) than the center (green). n ⥠14 eggs. (B) Ratiometric Ca2+ recordings. The traces correspond to the bottom cell exposed globally to 70% UV laser. n ⥠6 eggs. (C) Quantification of the initial rapid pHL responses in the periphery (red) and center (green) as a function of UV intensity. Data are mean ± SEM of 3â19 eggs. (D) Same data as C normalized to the maximal pHL response recorded in each region. (E) Magnitude of the central response as a percentage of the corresponding peripheral change. (F) Focal uncaging of NAADP elicits a pHL response (50% UV, irradiated at box indicated). (G) pHL changes at the UV site (solid line) and antipode (dotted line) in the periphery and center. (H) Summary of changes at the UV site (UV) and antipode (AP); mean ± SEM of n = 22 eggs (***, P < 0.001; ###, P < 0.001 compared with Peri UV). Bars, 50 µm. |

Figure 2. Inhibition of the NAADP receptor inhibits the fertilization-induced pHLash. (AâC) Ned-19 was preincubated with eggs for 30 min (at 80 µM) or 60â90 min (at 160 µM) or with DMSO vehicle (0.16% vol/vol) as a control. Eggs were loaded with Acridine orange plus LysoTracker red for the final 15â20 min of the preincubation period. Peripheral (red) and central (green) pHL responses to sperm in single eggs treated with DMSO (A) or 160 µM Ned-19 (B). At the end, 10 mM NH4Cl was applied. Inset brightfield images show unfertilized (minus sperm, âSp) and fertilized eggs (plus sperm, +Sp), with the yellow arrows highlighting the boundary of the fertilization envelope. Bars, 50 µm. (C) Summary of the effect of Ned-19 on the rapid pHLash (red) and central slow central acidification (green) expressed as the percentage of DMSO-treated eggs; n = 45â83 eggs. The bar chart (gray boxes) quantifies Ned-19 loading into single eggs measured as its intrinsic fluorescence at 351 nm (n = 77â130 eggs). (D) Effect of Ned-19 (160 µM, 30 min) upon the pHL response to microinjection of free NAADP (50 µM pipette). Eggs loaded with Acridine orange were injected with Alexa Fluor 647 dextran alone (Mock), or Alexa Fluor 647 dextran plus NAADP. Bar chart summarizes the pHLash in 8â28 eggs, the underlying traces normalized to their initial fluorescence. (E) Summary of the effect of nifedipine and PPADS on pHL responses to sperm, normalized to the respective responses in untreated eggs. 100 µM nifedipine (or DMSO) was included during the dye-loading period (20 min), n = 28â102 eggs; PPADS (10 mM pipette) was microinjected into dye-loaded eggs, n = 39â45. (F) Effect of diltiazem upon sperm-induced pHL changes. (Fi) Diltiazem was included during the dye-loading period (20 min), and responses normalized to the peripheral pHLash or central acidification responses in control eggs (Ctrl) in the absence of inhibitor (n = 64â426 eggs). (Fii) Peripheral pHL records in the absence or presence of 50 µM diltiazem (±Dzm). NH4Cl = 10 mM. Traces are the mean of 19 (âDzm) or 36 (+Dzm) eggs, respectively. (G) Preincubation with 50 µM diltiazem inhibited the response to NAADP injection (50 µM pipette), both in terms of the peripheral pHLash (bar chart) and fertilization envelope lifting (inset micrographs); n = 11â12.

Figure 3. Ca2+ increases pHL and NAADP levels. (AâE) Eggs loaded with Acridine orange and LysoTracker red were exposed to sperm, 1 µM ionomycin, or 10 mM NH4Cl. Representative traces of the peripheral (red) and central (green) pHL changes with sperm (A) or ionomycin (B). Exocytosis results in movement out of the peripheral ROI (Morgan and Galione, 2007a), hence the break in the red traces. (C) Summary of the rapid peripheral pHLash (red) and the slow central acidification (green) responses with sperm and ionomycin, n = 48â49 eggs. (D and E) Spatial nature of the single-cell peripheral pHL (n = 48â49 eggs) and Ca2+ (n = 8â21 eggs) responses to sperm (top) and ionomycin (bottom). For clarity, traces are normalized to the initial (F0) Acridine orange or rhod-dextran fluorescence and derived from the three regions of interest illustrated in the inset egg schematic. (F) NAADP levels measured in populations of eggs stimulated by sperm (gray) or 1â2 µM ionomycin (black). Data are from a single preparation, typical of four. (GâI) Effect of NAADP antagonists on 1â2 µM ionomycin-induced pHL changes. Ned-19 (n = 40â60 eggs) and diltiazem (n = 91â200 eggs) were preincubated according to the protocols in Fig. 2; SKF96365 (or 0.1â0.2% DMSO vehicle) was coincubated with the pHL dyes in the presence of 0.05% Pluronic F127 to promote inhibitor loading (n = 72â428 eggs). NAADP antagonists had a significantly greater effect upon the pHLash than the acidification (P < 0.001) at all concentrations except 30 µM SKF96365 (P > 0.05). *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001 vs. 0 µM control. |

Figure 5. SERCA inhibition and caged Ca2+ couple weakly to the pHLash. (AâC) Effect of the SERCA inhibitor, cyclopiazonic acid (CPA, 150 µM) upon Ca2+. (A) Two types of single-cell CPA responses were observed: a predominant small, monotonic increase (black trace) or a large, biphasic increase (gray trace). 2 µM ionomycin (iono) was then added. (B) Bar chart summarizing the peak responses from all cells (n = 14). (C) Summary of CPA responses sorted into the two categories with the percentage of eggs exhibiting them indicated above the bars. (DâF) CPA is a poor pHLash stimulus. (D) Most eggs failed to give a pHL response to 150 µM CPA (nonresponders, black trace), but a minority showed a peripheral pHLash after a delay. (E) Summary of peak responses in all eggs (n = 132). (F) Data were categorized as CPA responders (n = 35) or CPA nonresponders (n = 97) and the CPA and subsequent ionomycin responses plotted accordingly (the percentage of eggs is indicated). (GâI) Comparison of caged Ca2+ and fertilization upon Ca2+ signals in eggs. (G) Eggs were injected with caged Ca2+ (NP-EGTA, â¼250 µM cytosolic) and focal photolysis initiated in a cortical region of the egg by UV laser. The trace represents the Ca2+ response within the photolysis region; the inset shows the Ca2+ peak in a single egg as an F/F0 image, with the photolysis region of interest labeled as âUVâ. (H) Whole-cell Ca2+ signal in response to sperm. (I) Summary of peak Ca2+ amplitudes (n = 24, caged Ca2+ ; n = 7, sperm). (J and K) pHLash response to photolysis of caged Ca2+ (J) or sperm (K). Most cells (18/20) did not respond to uncaging, only 2/20 cells gave a pHLash (J, dotted line). (L) Summary of the peak pHL responses in all cells (n = 20, caged Ca2+; n = 64, sperm). ***, P < 0.001 compared with uncaging. |

Figure 9. Localization of acidic vesicles and ER. Acidic vesicles were labeled with LysoTracker green and the ER with microinjected DiI and consecutive 1-µm slices were collected in an egg quarter. An equatorial slice is shown, with an arc of exocytotic cortical granules (CG) docked at the plasma membrane. Deeper vesicles show close apposition with the ER (inset). Images are representative of at least 10 eggs. |
