Both RyRs and TPCs are required for NAADP-induced intracellular Ca²⁺ release.

ABSTRACT: Intracellular Ca(2+) release is mostly mediated by inositol trisphosphate, but intracellular cyclic-ADP-ribose (cADPR) and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) are important messengers in many systems. Whereas cADPR generally activates type 2 ryanodine receptors (RyR2s), the NAADP-activated Ca(2+) release mechanism is less clear. Using knockouts and antibodies against RyRs and Two-Pore Channels (TPCs), we have compared their relative importance for NAADP-induced Ca(2+) release from two-photon permeabilized pancreatic acinar cells. In these cells, cholecystokinin-elicited Ca(2+) release is mediated by NAADP. TPC2-KO reduced NAADP-induced Ca(2+) release by 64%, but the combination of TPC2-KO and an antibody against TPC1, significantly reduced Ca(2+) release by 86% (64% vs. 8
