Temperature-dependent STIM1 activation induces Ca²+ influx and modulates gene expression.

ABSTRACT: Intracellular Ca(2+) is essential for diverse cellular functions. Ca(2+) entry into many cell types including immune cells is triggered by depleting endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca(2+), a process termed store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE). STIM1 is an ER Ca(2+) sensor. Upon Ca(2+) store depletion, STIM1 clusters at ER-plasma membrane junctions where it interacts with and gates Ca(2+)-permeable Orai1 ion channels. Here we show that STIM1 is also activated by temperature. Heating cells caused clustering of STIM1 at temperatures above 35 °C without depleting Ca(2+) stores and led to Orai1-mediated Ca(2+) influx as a heat off-response (response after cooling). Notably, the functional coupling of STIM1 and Orai1 is prevented at high temperatures, potentially explaining the heat off-response. Additionally, physiologically relevant temperature shifts modulate STIM1-dependent gene expression in Jurkat T cells. Therefore, temperature is an important regulator of STIM1 function.

Enhanced Ca²⁺ influx from STIM1-Orai1 induces muscle pathology in mouse models of muscular dystrophy.

Project description:Muscular dystrophy is a progressive muscle wasting disease that is thought to be initiated by unregulated Ca(2+) influx into myofibers leading to their death. Store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) through sarcolemmal Ca(2+) selective Orai1 channels in complex with STIM1 in the sarcoplasmic reticulum is one such potential disease mechanism for pathologic Ca(2+) entry. Here, we generated a mouse model of STIM1 overexpression in skeletal muscle to determine whether this type of Ca(2+) entry could induce muscular dystrophy. Myofibers from muscle-specific STIM1 transgenic mice showed a significant increase in SOCE in skeletal muscle, modeling an observed increase in the same current in dystrophic myofibers. Histological and biochemical analysis of STIM1 transgenic mice showed fulminant muscle disease characterized by myofiber necrosis, swollen mitochondria, infiltration of inflammatory cells, enhanced interstitial fibrosis and elevated serum creatine kinase levels. This dystrophic-like disease in STIM1 transgenic mice was abrogated by crossing in a transgene expressing a dominant-negative Orai1 (dnOrai1) mutant. The dnOrai1 transgene also significantly reduced the severity of muscular dystrophy in both mdx (dystrophin mutant mice) and δ-sarcoglycan-deficient (Sgcd(-/-)) mouse models of disease. Hence, Ca(2+) influx across an unstable sarcolemma due to increased activity of a STIM1-Orai1 complex is a disease determinant in muscular dystrophy, and hence, SOCE represents a potential therapeutic target.

STIM1 and STIM2-mediated Ca(2+) influx regulates antitumour immunity by CD8(+) T cells.

Project description:Store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) through Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channels regulates the function of many immune cells. Patients with loss-of-function mutations in the CRAC channel genes ORAI1 or STIM1 are immunodeficient and are prone to develop virus-associated tumours. This and the reported role of Ca(2+) signals in cytotoxic lymphocyte function suggest that SOCE may be critical for tumour immune surveillance. Using conditional knock out mice lacking STIM1 and its homologue STIM2, we find that SOCE in CD8(+) T cells is required to prevent the engraftment of melanoma and colon carcinoma cells and to control tumour growth. SOCE is essential for the cytotoxic function of CTLs both in vivo and in vitro by regulating the degranulation of CTLs, their expression of Fas ligand and production of TNF-? and IFN-?. Our results emphasize an important role of SOCE in antitumour immunity, which is significant given recent reports arguing in favour of CRAC channel inhibition for cancer therapy.

STIM1 Phosphorylation at Y361 Recruits Orai1 to STIM1 Puncta and Induces Ca2+ Entry.

Project description:Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) mediates the increase in intracellular calcium (Ca2+) in endothelial cells (ECs) that regulates several EC functions including tissue-fluid homeostasis. Stromal-interaction molecule 1 (STIM1), upon sensing the depletion of (Ca2+) from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) store, organizes as puncta that trigger store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) via plasmalemmal Ca2+-selective Orai1 channels. While the STIM1 and Orai1 binding interfaces have been mapped, signaling mechanisms activating STIM1 recruitment of Orai1 and STIM1-Orai1 interaction remains enigmatic. Here, we show that ER Ca2+-store depletion rapidly induces STIM1 phosphorylation at Y361 via proline-rich kinase 2 (Pyk2) in ECs. Surprisingly, the phospho-defective STIM1-Y361F mutant formed puncta but failed to recruit Orai1, thereby preventing. SOCE Furthermore, studies in mouse lungs, expression of phosphodefective STIM1-Y361F mutant in ECs prevented the increase in vascular permeability induced by the thrombin receptor, protease activated receptor 1 (PAR1). Hence, Pyk2-dependent phosphorylation of STIM1 at Y361 is a critical phospho-switch enabling recruitment of Orai1 into STIM1 puncta leading to SOCE. Therefore, Y361 in STIM1 represents a novel target for limiting SOCE-associated vascular leak.

Ca(2+) Channel Re-localization to Plasma-Membrane Microdomains Strengthens Activation of Ca(2+)-Dependent Nuclear Gene Expression.

Project description:In polarized cells or cells with complex geometry, clustering of plasma-membrane (PM) ion channels is an effective mechanism for eliciting spatially restricted signals. However, channel clustering is also seen in cells with relatively simple topology, suggesting it fulfills a more fundamental role in cell biology than simply orchestrating compartmentalized responses. Here, we have compared the ability of store-operated Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channels confined to PM microdomains with a similar number of dispersed CRAC channels to activate transcription factors, which subsequently increase nuclear gene expression. For similar levels of channel activity, we find that channel confinement is considerably more effective in stimulating gene expression. Our results identify a long-range signaling advantage to the tight evolutionary conservation of channel clustering and reveal that CRAC channel aggregation increases the strength, fidelity, and reliability of the general process of excitation-transcription coupling.

ORAI1-Regulated Gene Expression in Breast Cancer Cells: Roles for STIM1 Binding, Calcium Influx and Transcription Factor Translocation.

Project description:A remodeling of calcium homeostasis, including calcium influx via store-operated calcium entry (SOCE), is a feature of breast cancers. SOCE is critical to maintain calcium balance in the endoplasmic reticulum calcium store and is an important mechanism for calcium signaling in a variety of cell types, including breast cancer cells. The canonical mechanism of SOCE is stromal interacting molecule 1 (STIM1)-mediated activation of ORAI. Elevated ORAI1 expression is a feature of basal breast cancer cells. However, the role of ORAI1 in the regulation of transcription in breast cancer cells of the basal molecular subtype is still unclear. Using CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing, ORAI1 protein expression was disrupted in MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 basal breast cancer cells. The ORAI1 wild-type and mutants were reintroduced into ORAI1 knockout cells to study the role of ORAI1 in gene transcriptional regulation. In the absence of calcium store depletion, ORAI1 regulated PTGS2 in MDA-MB-231 cells, and this was dependent on ORAI1 pore function and STIM1 binding. The activation of SOCE by thapsigargin resulted in ORAI1-dependent increases in IL6 transcription in MDA-MB-468 cells; this was also dependent on ORAI1 pore function and STIM1 binding and was associated with the translocation of NFAT1. Given the upregulation of ORAI1 in basal breast cancer cells, our results provide further evidence that ORAI1 may contribute to cancer progression through regulation of gene expression.

Regulator of G-protein signaling 14 protein modulates Ca²+ influx through Cav1 channels.

Project description:Calcium flux through L-type voltage-activated calcium (Cav1) channels is crucial for regulating brain functions including memory formation and behavior. Alterations in Ca²+ homeostasis have been linked to many cognitive disorders, and understanding the regulation of this process is crucial for their remedy. Therefore, here, we have evaluated the effect of a multifunctional protein known to be involved in memory functions called regulator of G-protein signaling 14 (RGS-14) on Cav1 channel activity in neuronal cell lines NG108-15 and SH-SY5Y. RGS-14 protein produced significant reduction in Ca²+ influx in both cell lines and this effect was dependent on nifedipine-sensitive Cav1 channels. Thus, our results provide evidence supporting the idea that RGS-14 may facilitate the cognitive processing by modulating Cav1 channel-mediated intracellular Ca²+ transients.

STIM1-Orai1 interaction mediated calcium influx activation contributes to cardiac contractility of insulin-resistant rats.

Project description:PurposeMetabolic syndrome (MetS) became a tremendous public health burden in the last decades. Store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) is a unique mechanism that causes a calcium influx, which is triggered by calcium store depletion. MetS-induced alterations in cardiac calcium signaling, especially in SOCE are still unclear. Therefore, we aim to examine the possible role of SOCE and its components (STIM1 and Orai1) in the MetS-induced cardiac remodeling.MethodsWe used male, adult (12 weeks) Wistar albino rats (n = 20). Animals were randomly divided into two groups which were: control (C) and MetS. We gave 33% sucrose solution to animals instead of water for 24 weeks to establish MetS model. In the end, papillary muscle function was evaluated, and various electrophysiological analyses were made in isolated cardiomyocytes. Additionally, STIM1 and Orai1 protein and mRNA expressions were analyzed.ResultsWe observed a deterioration in contractility in MetS animals and demonstrated the contribution of SOCE by applying a SOCE inhibitor (BTP2). Calcium spark frequency was increased while its amplitude was decreasing in MetS hearts, which was reversed after SOCE inhibition. The amplitude of transient calcium changes in the MetS group was decreased, and it decreased further BTP2 application. Both protein and mRNA levels of STIM1 and Orai1 were increased significantly in MetS hearts.ConclusionCurrent data indicate the significant contribution of SOCE to cardiac calcium handling in the MetS model. We think MetS-induced SOCE activation is a compensation mechanism that is required for the continuum of proper cardiac functioning, although the activation can also cause cardiac hypertrophy.

Remodeling of ER-plasma membrane contact sites but not STIM1 phosphorylation inhibits Ca2+ influx in mitosis.

Project description:Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE), mediated by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+ sensor stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) and the plasma membrane (PM) channel Orai1, is inhibited during mitosis. STIM1 phosphorylation has been suggested to mediate this inhibition, but it is unclear whether additional pathways are involved. Here, we demonstrate using various approaches, including a nonphosphorylatable STIM1 knock-in mouse, that STIM1 phosphorylation is not required for SOCE inhibition in mitosis. Rather, multiple pathways converge to inhibit Ca2+ influx in mitosis. STIM1 interacts with the cochaperone BAG3 and localizes to autophagosomes in mitosis, and STIM1 protein levels are reduced. The density of ER-PM contact sites (CSs) is also dramatically reduced in mitosis, thus physically preventing STIM1 and Orai1 from interacting to activate SOCE. Our findings provide insights into ER-PM CS remodeling during mitosis and a mechanistic explanation of the inhibition of Ca2+ influx that is required for cell cycle progression.

STIM1-dependent store-operated Ca²? entry is required for pathological cardiac hypertrophy.

Project description:Alterations in intracellular Ca(2+) homeostasis are an important trigger of pathological cardiac remodeling; however, mechanisms governing context-dependent changes in Ca(2+) influx are poorly understood. Store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) is a major mechanism regulating Ca(2+) trafficking in numerous cell types, yet its prevalence in adult heart and possible role in physiology and disease are each unknown. The Ca(2+)-binding protein, stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1), is a Ca(2+) sensor in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), capable of triggering SOCE by interacting with plasma membrane Ca(2+) channels. We report that SOCE is abundant and robust in neonatal cardiomyocytes; however, SOCE is absent from adult cardiomyocytes. Levels of STIM1 transcript and protein correlate with the amplitude of SOCE, and manipulation of STIM1 protein levels (via shRNA) or activity (via expression of constitutively active or dominant-negative mutants) reveals a critical role for STIM1 in activating SOCE in cardiac myocytes. In neonatal hearts a recently identified STIM1 splice variant (STIM1L) is predominant but diminishes with maturation, only to reemerge with agonist- or afterload-induced cardiac stress. To test for pathophysiological relevance, we evaluated both in vitro and in vivo models of cardiac hypertrophy, finding that STIM1 expression is re-activated by pathological stress to trigger significant SOCE-dependent Ca(2+) influx. STIM1 amplifies agonist-induced hypertrophy via activation of the calcineurin-NFAT pathway. Importantly, inhibition of STIM1 suppresses agonist-triggered hypertrophy, pointing to a requirement for SOCE in this remodeling response. Stress-triggered STIM1 re-expression, and consequent SOCE activation, are critical elements in the upstream, Ca(2+)-dependent control of pathological cardiac hypertrophy.

Mechanical Stress Induces Ca2+-Dependent Signal Transduction in Erythroblasts and Modulates Erythropoiesis.

Project description:Bioreactors are increasingly implemented for large scale cultures of various mammalian cells, which requires optimization of culture conditions. Such upscaling is also required to produce red blood cells (RBC) for transfusion and therapy purposes. However, the physiological suitability of RBC cultures to be transferred to stirred bioreactors is not well understood. PIEZO1 is the most abundantly expressed known mechanosensor on erythroid cells. It is a cation channel that translates mechanical forces directly into a physiological response. We investigated signaling cascades downstream of PIEZO1 activated upon transitioning stationary cultures to orbital shaking associated with mechanical stress, and compared the results to direct activation of PIEZO1 by the chemical agonist Yoda1. Erythroblasts subjected to orbital shaking displayed decreased proliferation, comparable to incubation in the presence of a low dose of Yoda1. Epo (Erythropoietin)-dependent STAT5 phosphorylation, and Calcineurin-dependent NFAT dephosphorylation was enhanced. Phosphorylation of ERK was also induced by both orbital shaking and Yoda1 treatment. Activation of these pathways was inhibited by intracellular Ca2+ chelation (BAPTA-AM) in the orbital shaker. Our results suggest that PIEZO1 is functional and could be activated by the mechanical forces in a bioreactor setup, and results in the induction of Ca2+-dependent signaling cascades regulating various aspects of erythropoiesis. With this study, we showed that Yoda1 treatment and mechanical stress induced via orbital shaking results in comparable activation of some Ca2+-dependent pathways, exhibiting that there are direct physiological outcomes of mechanical stress on erythroblasts.
