Tissue transglutaminase (tTGase) is a member of calcium-dependent transamidation enzyme family, but a detailed regulation mechanism of tTGase by intracellular Ca(2+) is not clearly understood. Arachidonic acid (AA) and maitotoxin (MTX) activated tTGase in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Transfection of tTGase siRNA largely inhibited tTGase expression and tTGase activation by MTX. AA induced an initial increase of intracellular Ca(2+) followed by a prolonged increase. Removal of extracellular Ca(2+) with EGTA blocked the prolonged Ca(2+) increase in response to AA, although the initial Ca(2+) increase remained. In contrast, EGTA completely blocked the increase of intracellular Ca(2+) by MTX. The activation of tTGase by AA or MTX was significantly inhibited by EGTA. Moreover, EGTA prevented the prolonged increase of intracellular Ca(2+) and tTGase activation by lysophosphatidic acid, but had no effect on the initial Ca(2+) increase. These results suggested that tTGase is regulated by the prolonged increase of intracellular Ca(2+) originated from Ca(2+) influx, rather than by the initial peak of transient Ca(2+) increase.
组织转谷氨酰胺酶(tTGase)是钙依赖性转酰胺酶家族的一员,但细胞内Ca(2+)对tTGase的详细调节机制尚不清楚。花生四烯酸(AA)和刺尾鱼毒素(MTX)以剂量和时间依赖性方式激活tTGase。转染tTGase小干扰RNA(siRNA)可在很大程度上抑制tTGase表达以及MTX对tTGase的激活。AA诱导细胞内Ca(2+)先出现初始升高,随后持续升高。用乙二醇双四乙酸(EGTA)去除细胞外Ca(2+)可阻断AA诱导的Ca(2+)持续升高,尽管初始Ca(2+)升高仍然存在。相反,EGTA完全阻断了MTX引起的细胞内Ca(2+)升高。EGTA显著抑制了AA或MTX对tTGase的激活。此外,EGTA可防止溶血磷脂酸引起的细胞内Ca(2+)持续升高和tTGase激活,但对初始Ca(2+)升高没有影响。这些结果表明,tTGase受源自Ca(2+)内流的细胞内Ca(2+)持续升高调节,而非受瞬时Ca(2+)升高的初始峰值调节。
