From the CD38 is a bifunctional ectoenzyme synthesizing
from NAD+ (ADP-ribosyl cyclase) and degrading
(hydrolase) cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR), a powerful universal calcium
mobilizer from intracellular stores. Recently, hexameric connexin 43 (Cx43) hemichannels have been shown to release cytosolic
NAD+ from isolated murine fibroblasts (Bruzzone, S., Guida,
L., Zocchi, E., Franco, L. and De Flora, A. (2001) FASEB J. 15, 10-12), making this dinucleotide available to the ectocellular
active site of CD38. Here we investigated transwell co-cultures of
CD38+ (transfected) and CD38

order to establish the role of extracellular NAD+ and cADPR
on [Ca2+]i levels and on proliferation of the
CD38
target cells. CD38+, but not
CD38
, feeder cells induced a
[Ca2+]i increase in the CD38
target
cells which was comparable to that observed with extracellular cADPR
alone and inhibitable by NAD+-glycohydrolase or by the
cADPR antagonist 8-NH2-cADPR. Addition of recombinant
ADP-ribosyl cyclase to the medium of CD38
feeders induced
sustained [Ca2+]i increases in CD38
target cells. Co-culture on CD38+ feeders enhanced the
proliferation of CD38
target cells over control values
and significantly shortened the S phase of cell cycle. These results
demonstrate a paracrine process based on Cx43-mediated release of
NAD+, its CD38-catalyzed conversion to extracellular cADPR,
and influx of this nucleotide into responsive cells to increase
[Ca2+]i and stimulate cell proliferation.
