Background/aims: Adenosine diphosphate ribose (ADPR), a product of β-NAD+ metabolism generated by the multifunctional enzyme CD38, is recognized as a novel signaling molecule. The catalytic site of CD38 orients extracellularly or intracellularly, capable of generating ADPR outside and inside the cells. CD38-dependent pathways have been characterized in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs); however the physiological function of extracellular ADPR is unclear.
Methods: Ca2+ mobilizing and proliferative effects of extracellular ADPR were characterized and compared with the ATP-induced responses in rat PASMCs; and the expression of purinergic receptor (P2X and P2Y) subtypes were examined in pulmonary arteries.
Results: ADPR elicited concentration-dependent increase in [Ca2+]i with a fast transient and a sustained phase in PASMCs. The sustained phase was abolished by Ca2+ removal and inhibited by the non-selective cation channel blocker SKF-96365, but was unaffected by TRPM2 antagonists or nifedipine. The purinergic receptor (P2X) antagonist pyridoxal-phosphate-6-azophenyl-2', 4'-disulfonate inhibited partially the transient and the sustained Ca2+ response, while the P2(XY) inhibitor suramin and the phospholipase C inhibitor U73122 abolished the sustained Ca2+ influx. The P2Y1 antagonist MRS2179 had no effect on the response. By contrast, ATP and ADP activated Ca2+ response exhibited a high and a low affinity component, and the pharmacological profile of ATP-induced Ca2+ response was distinctive from that of ADPR. BrdU incorporation assay showed that ADPR caused significant inhibition whereas ATP caused slight stimulation of PASMC proliferation. RT-PCR analysis found that almost all P2X and P2Y subtypes are expressed in PAs.
Conclusion: ADPR and ATP activate Ca2+ responses through different combinations of multiple purinergic receptor subtypes; and extracellular ADPR may exert an autocrine/paracrine action via purinergic receptors on PASMCs.

In reaction to a stimulus, signaling molecules are made, generate a response, and are then degraded. Nucleotides are classically associated with central metabolism and nucleic acid biosynthesis, but there are a number of nucleotides and nucleotide derivatives in plants to which this simple definition of a signaling molecule applies in whole or at least in part. These include cytokinins and chloroplast guanosine tetraposphate (ppGpp), as well as extracellular canonical nucleotides such as extracellular ATP (eATP) and NAD+ (eNAD+).

Introduction: During thermogenesis, adipose tissue (AT) becomes more active and enhances oxidative metabolism. The promotion of this process in white AT (WAT) is called "browning" and, together with the brown AT (BAT) activation, is considered as a promising approach to counteract obesity and metabolic diseases. Transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily M, member 2 (TRPM2), is an ion channel that allows extracellular Ca influx into the cytosol, and is gated by adenosine diphosphate ribose (ADPR), produced from NAD degradation.

Article Synopsis
- PARP1 is an enzyme that modifies proteins with ADP-Ribose, playing a key role in genome maintenance and influencing cellular processes like muscle development and energy balance.
- Recent research shows that PARP1 affects myogenesis and muscle response to steroid hormones, indicating its significant role even when there's no DNA damage.
- Inhibition of PARP1 during early muscle cell differentiation disrupts the development of crucial muscle proteins, highlighting PARP1's importance in maintaining muscle tissue health and its interactions with glucocorticoids, which are known to influence muscle mass.

ADP-ribosyl cyclases (ADPRCs) catalyze the synthesis of the Ca-active second messengers Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) and ADP-ribose (ADPR) from NAD as well as nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) from NADP. The best characterized ADPRC in mammals is CD38, a single-pass transmembrane protein with two opposite membrane orientations. The first identified form, type II CD38, is a glycosylated ectoenzyme, while type III CD38 has its active site in the cytosol.

Cluster of differentiation 38 (CD38) is an ecto-enzyme expressed primarily on immune cells that metabolize nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) to adenosine diphosphate ribose or cyclic ADP-ribose and nicotinamide. Other substrates of CD38 include nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate and nicotinamide mononucleotide, a critical NAD+ precursor in the salvage pathway. NAD+ is an important coenzyme involved in several metabolic pathways and is a required cofactor for the function of sirtuins (SIRTs) and poly (adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerases.
