Figure Lengend Snippet: Highly expressed in MDA-MB-231 cells, ANXA2 promotes membrane repair. A Representative image of western-blot analysis showing the revelation of ANXA2 in MDA-MB-231 and MCF7 cells, as compared to GAPDH (loading control). B The histogram presents mean values (± SEM) of the ratio ANX/GAPDH from five independent experiments, analyzed by the gel analysis plugging of ImageJ. A representative membrane of the detection of ANXA1 is presented in supplementary Fig. . Student t test for independent samples. ** p < 0.01. C ANXA2-deficient MDA-MB-231 cells were generated by shRNA transduction strategy. The cellular content of ANXA2 in MDA-MB-231 cells transduced with lentiviral particles containing shRNA targeting ANXA2 (shA2) or a scrambled shRNA (ctl) was quantified by Western blotting. D Control and shANXA2 MDA-MB-231 cells, which expressed constitutively the tdTomato fluorescent protein were imaged by fluorescence microscopy. Right-hand histograms display mean cell area (in pixels 2 ) and nuclei circumference (in pixels) measured by the imageJ software using Tomato and DAPI images. The mean values (+ / − SEM) were calculated from at least 30 cells from three independent experiments. No statistical difference (student t test) was observed for the two parameters. Scale bar: 20 µm. E , G Sequences of representative images showing the response of a control ( E ) or shANXA2 ( G ) MDA-MB-231 cell to a membrane damage performed by 110-mW infrared laser irradiation, in the presence of FM1-43 (green). In all figures, the area of membrane irradiation is marked with a red arrow before irradiation and a white arrow after irradiation. Scale bars: 10 μm. F Kinetic data represent the FM1 − 43 fluorescence intensity for control (black filled circles) or shANXA2 (empty circles) MDA-MB-231 cells, integrated over whole cell sections, averaged for about 30 cells (+ / − SEM). H Recruitment of ANXA2 to the site of membrane injury. MDA-MB-231 cells transfected with the plasmid pA2-GFP were damaged by laser ablation. Red arrow, area before irradiation; white arrow, area after irradiation. I Subcellular localization of endogenous ANXA2 in damaged MDA-MB-231. MDA-MB-231 cells were irradiated with a 110-mW infrared laser (white arrow) in DPBS + Ca 2+ , then fixed and immunostained for ANXA2 and counterstained with DAPI (blue). After laser injury, MDA-MB-231 cells exhibited an accumulation of ANXA2 at the disruption site. The inset displays a magnified image of the disruption site where concentrates ANXA2. Scale bars: 10 µm on the images and 1 µm within the inset

Two distinct β3 (AAR‐017 and MC‐4198 raised in rabbits) and EPAC (ab21236 and SC‐28366 raised in rabbits and mice, respectively) antibodies were used as indicated. (f) Micrographs show that β3‐adrenoceptors (green) and EPAC (red) co‐localize in human detrusor, as identified by the yellow staining in the merge image shown in the right hand‐side image. Images are representative of four different individuals. Differential interference contrast (DIC) images are shown for comparison. Scale bar = 50 μm. Bottom panels are representative immunoblots of β2‐ and β3‐adrenoceptors (g) and EPAC1 and EPAC2 isoforms (h) in urothelium‐denuded detrusor homogenates of one male human subject (H) and one rat (R) run in parallel using the same antibodies as for the immunohistochemical staining. The highly conserved GAPDH enzyme (EC 1.2.1.12, MW~37 kDa) and β‐actin (MW~43 kDa) were used as reference proteins for β−adrenoceptors and EPAC respectively.

Ordinates represent tritium outflow expressed in scintillations per min (cpm). Abscissa indicates the times at which samples were collected. [3H]ACh release was elicited by electrical field stimulation (10 Hz, 200 pulses of 0.2‐ms duration) twice, starting at 4th (S1) and 13th (S2) minutes after the end of washout (zero time). Mirabegron (0.1 μM) was added to the incubation media 6 min before S2 (black horizontal bar). Panels b, c and d show the inhibitory effects of mirabegron, isoprenaline and forskolin on evoked [3H]ACh release human (b) and rat (c and d) detrusor strips respectively. Mirabegron (0.1 μM), isoprenaline (1 μM), and forskolin (3 μM) were applied 6 min before S2 either in the absence or in the presence of selective inhibitors of PKA (H‐89, 10 μM), EPAC (ESI‐09, 10 μM), and ENT1 (Dipy, 0.5 μM), as well as of the adenosine A1 receptor antagonist, DPCPX (0.1 μM). All inhibitors and A1 receptor antagonist were present throughout the assay, including S1 and S2. The ordinates are changes in S2/S1 ratios compared to the S2/S1 ratio obtained without addition of any drug (dotted horizontal line). The data are means ± SD of an n number of individuals (black dots). #,* P < .001 (one‐way ANOVA followed by the Dunnett's multicomparison test with a single pooled variance) represent significant differences when compared to the control situation and to the inhibitory effects of mirabegron (b), isoprenaline (c) and forskolin (d) applied alone respectively

doi: 10.1111/bph.14921

Figure Lengend Snippet: Schematic representation of the mechanisms involved on β3‐adrenoceptors inhibition of cholinergic neurotransmission in human and rat urinary bladders. β3‐adrenoceptors (β3‐AR) predominantly located in detrusor smooth fibres are positively coupled to AC leading to increases in intracellular cAMP accumulation. The enzymatic breakdown of cAMP by intracellular PDEs and 5′‐nucleotidase (5′NTase) results in the formation of high levels of adenosine (ADO) forcing its translocation to the extracellular milieu, via dipyridamole‐sensitive ENT1 transporters. Besides acting as a source of ADO, cAMP triggers an intracellular signalling cascade leading to preferential EPAC1 over PKA activation on detrusor smooth muscle fibres. Data suggest that EPAC‐induced activation of calcium‐dependent conventional PKC isoforms may be necessary to stimulate ENT1‐mediated ADO outflow. The way PKC facilitates ADO transport to the extracellular compartment is still unknown, but it may result from PKC phosphorylation‐induced increases in the nucleoside transporters capacity and/or by favouring their translocation to the plasma membrane. Once in the extracellular milieu, ADO is free to activate inhibitory A1 receptors (A1R) on cholinergic nerve terminals causing the inhibition of nerve‐evoked ACh release
