Suppression of store-operated Ca²⁺ entry regulated by silencing Orai1 inhibits C6 glioma cell motility via decreasing Pyk2 activity and promoting focal adhesion.

ABSTRACT: Store-operated Ca²⁺ entry (SOCE) plays an important role in regulating Ca²⁺ influx, which participates in tumor cell survival and motility. We aim to elucidate the role of SOCE in the behavior of C6 glioma cells. Lentiviral vector inserted with the Orai1-targeting shRNA was used to inhibit SOCE in C6 glioma cells. The down-regulation of Orai1 was confirmed by western blot. The ability of shOrai1 or SOCE inhibitor (SKF96365) in regulating SOCE inhibition was evaluated by measuring Ca²⁺ concentration. Additionally, its effect on cell behavior was assessed using methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay, wound healing assay, transwell assay, and adhesion assay. Focal adhesions were visualized by immunofluorescence assay. Further, the expression of proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 (Pyk2) and phosphorylated Pyk2 (p-Pyk2) was analyzed using western blot. Both, SKF96365 treatment and the Orai1 down-regulation inhibited SOCE by perturbing Ca²⁺ influx. The inhibitory effects of shOrai1 on C6 cell proliferation, migration, and invasion were similar to that of SKF96365. Moreover, Orai1 inhibition enhanced C6 cell adhesion by increasing the size of focal adhesion plaques. The down-regulation of Pyk2 was observed in both SKF96365-treated and Orai1-silenced C6 cells. Additionally, Orai1 inhibition blocked AKT/mTOR, NFAT, and NF-κB pathways. The silencing of Orai1 inhibited the C6 glioma cell migration, invasion and contributed to focal adhesion.

Project description:Excessive cardiac fibrosis, characterized by increased collagen-rich extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition, is a major predisposing factor for mechanical and electrical dysfunction in heart failure (HF). The human ventricular fibroblast (hVF) remodeling mechanisms that cause excessive collagen deposition in HF are unclear, although reports suggest a role for intracellular free Ca2+ in fibrosis. Therefore, we determined the association of differences in cellular Ca2+ dynamics and collagen secretion/deposition between hVFs from failing and normal (control) hearts. Histology of left ventricle sections (Masson trichrome) confirmed excessive fibrosis in HF versus normal. In vitro, hVFs from HF showed increased secretion/deposition of soluble collagen in 48 h of culture compared with control [85.9±7.4 µg/106 cells vs 58.5±8.8 µg/106 cells, P<0.05; (Sircol™ assay)]. However, collagen gene expressions (COL1A1 and COL1A2; RT-PCR) were not different. Ca2+ imaging (fluo-3) of isolated hVFs showed no difference in the thapsigargin-induced intracellular Ca2+ release capacity (control 16±1.4% vs HF 17±1.1%); however, Ca2+ influx via store-operated Ca2+ entry/Ca2+ release-activated channels (SOCE/CRAC) was significantly (P≤0.05) greater in HF-hVFs (47±3%) compared with non-failing (35±5%). Immunoblotting for ICRAC channel components showed increased ORAI1 expression in HF-hVFs compared with normal without any difference in STIM1 expression. The Pearson's correlation coefficient for co-localization of STIM1/ORAI1 was significantly (P<0.01) greater in HF (0.5±0.01) than control (0.4±0.01) hVFs. The increase in collagen secretion of HF versus control hVFs was eliminated by incubation of hVFs with YM58483 (10 µM), a selective ICRAC inhibitor, for 48 h (66.78±5.87 µg/106 cells vs 55.81±7.09 µg/106 cells, P=0.27). In conclusion, hVFs from HF have increased collagen secretion capacity versus non-failing hearts and this is related to increase in Ca2+ entry via SOCE and enhanced expression of ORAI, the pore-forming subunit. Therapeutic inhibition of SOCE may reduce the progression of cardiac fibrosis/HF.

Project description:BackgroundStore-operated Ca(2+) entry is important for cell migration.ResultsThis study presents characterization of localization and roles of Orai1, STIM1, and PLA2g6 in adhesion dynamics during cell migration.ConclusionOrai1 and PLA2g6 are involved in adhesion formation at the front, whereas STIM1 participates in both adhesion formation and disassembly.SignificanceResults uncovered new parameters of Orai1, STIM1, and PLA2g6 involvement in cell migration. Store-operated Ca(2+) entry and its major determinants are known to be important for cell migration, but the mechanism of their involvement in this complex process is unknown. This study presents a detailed characterization of distinct roles of Orai1, STIM1, and PLA2g6 in focal adhesion (FA) formation and migration. Using HEK293 cells, we discovered that although molecular knockdown of Orai1, STIM1, or PLA2g6 resulted in a similar reduction in migration velocity, there were profound differences in their effects on number, localization, and lifetime of FAs. Knockdown of STIM1 caused an increase in lifetime and number of FAs, their redistribution toward lamellae region, and an increase in cell tail length. In contrast, the number of FAs in Orai1- or PLA2g6-deficient cells was significantly reduced, and FAs accumulated closer to the leading edge. Assembly rate and Vinculin phosphorylation of FAs was similarly reduced in Orai1, PLA2g6, or STIM1-deficient cells. Although Orai1 and PLA2g6 accumulated and co-localized at the leading edge, STIM1 distribution was more complex. We found STIM1 protrusions in lamellipodia, which co-localized with FAs, whereas major accumulation could be seen in central and retracting parts of the cell. Interestingly, knockdown of Orai1 and PLA2g6 produced similar and non-additive effect on migration, whereas knockdown of STIM1 simultaneously with either Orai1 or PLA2g6 produced additional inhibition. Together these data suggest that although Orai1, PLA2g6, and STIM1 play major roles in formation of new FAs at the leading edge, STIM1 may also be involved in Orai1- and PLA2g6-independent disassembly of FAs in the back of cells.
