Cellular calcium homeostasis is controlled predominantly by the plasma membrane calcium pump (PMCA). From four PMCA isoforms, PMCA1 and PMCA4 are ubiquitous, while PMCA2 and PMCA3 are found in excitable cells. We have previously shown that suppression of neuron-specific PMCAs in non-differentiated PC12 cells changed the cell morphology and triggered neuritogenesis. Using the microarrays, real-time PCR and immunodetection, we analyzed the effect of PMCA2 or PMCA3 reduction in PC12 cells on gene expression, with emphasis on calmodulin (CaM), neuromodulin (GAP43) and MAP kinases. In PMCA-suppressed lines total CaM increased, and the calm I and calm II genes appeared to be responsible for this effect. mRNA and protein levels of GAP43 were increased, however, the amount of phosphorylated form was lower than in control cells. Localization of CaM/GAP43 and CaM/pGAP43 differed between control and PMCA-reduced cells. In both PMCA-modified lines, amounts of ERK1/2 increased. While pERK1 decreased, the pERK2 level was similar in all examined lines. PMCA suppression did not change the p38 amount, but the p-p38 diminished. JNK2 protein decreased in both PMCA-reduced cells without changes in pJNK level. Microarray analysis revealed distinct expression patterns of certain genes involved in the regulation of cell cycle, proliferation, migration, differentiation, apoptosis and cell signaling. Suppression of neuron-specific PMCA isoforms affected the phenotype of PC12 cells enabling adaptation to the sustained increase in cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration. This is the first report showing function of PMCA2 and PMCA3 isoforms in the regulation of signaling pathways in PC12 cells.
