Calcium influx into human neuroblastoma cells induces ALZ-50 immunoreactivity: involvement of calpain-mediated hydrolysis of protein kinase C.

Abstract：

:Calcium influx into SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells after ionophore treatment or transient permeabilization in calcium-containing medium increased ALZ-50 immunoreactivity markedly. This increase was prevented by inhibitors active against calpain or against protein kinase C (PKC), suggesting that both of these enzymes were required to mediate the effect of calcium influx on ALZ-50 immunoreactivity. Treatment with PKC activator TPA increased ALZ-50 immunoreactivity in the absence of calcium influx or after intracellular delivery of the specific calpain inhibitor calpastatin, indicating that the influence of PKC was downstream from that of calpain. Calcium influx also resulted in mu-calpain autolysis (one index of calpain activation) and the transient appearance of PKM (i.e., free PKC catalytic subunits, generated by calpain-mediated cleavage of the regulatory and catalytic PKC domains). Inhibition of calpain within intact cells resulted in a dramatic increase in steady-state levels of total tau (migrating at 46-52 kDa) but resulted in a relatively minor increase in 68-kDa ALZ-50-immunoreactive tau isoforms. Although calcium influx into intact cells resulted in accumulation of ALZ-50 immunoreactivity, total tau levels were, by contrast, rapidly depleted. Incubation of isolated fractions with calpain in the presence of calcium indicated that ALZ-50-immunoreactive tau isoforms were more resistant to calpain-mediated proteolysis than were non-ALZ-50 reactive tau isoforms. These data therefore indicate that calpain may regulate tau levels directly via proteolysis and indirectly through PKC activation. A consequence of the latter action is altered tau phosphorylation, perhaps involving one or more kinase cascades, and the preferential accumulation of ALZ-50-immunoreactive tau isoforms due to their relative resistance to degradation. These findings provide a basis for the possibility that disregulation of calcium homeostasis may contribute to the pathological levels of conversion of tau to A68 by hyperactivation of the calpain/PKC system.
