Arachidonic acid inhibits the store-operated Ca2+ current in rat liver cells.

ABSTRACT: Vasopressin and other phospholipase-C-coupled hormones induce oscillations (waves) of [Ca2+]cyt (cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration) in liver cells. Maintenance of these oscillations requires replenishment of Ca2+ in intracellular stores through Ca2+ inflow across the plasma membrane. While this may be achieved by SOCs (store-operated Ca2+ channels), some studies in other cell types indicate that it is dependent on AA (arachidonic acid)-activated Ca2+ channels. We studied the effects of AA on membrane conductance of rat liver cells using whole-cell patch clamping. We found no evidence that concentrations of AA in the physiological range could activate Ca2+-permeable channels in either H4IIE liver cells or rat hepatocytes. However, AA (1-10 microM) did inhibit (IC50=2.4+/-0.1 microM) Ca2+ inflow through SOCs (ISOC) initiated by intracellular application of Ins(1,4,5)P3 in H4IIE cells. Pre-incubation with AA did not inhibit ISOC development, but decreased maximal amplitude of the current. Iso-tetrandrine, widely used to inhibit receptor-activation of phospholipase A2, and therefore AA release, inhibited ISOC directly in H4IIE cells. It is concluded that (i) in rat liver cells, AA does not activate an AA-regulated Ca2+-permeable channel, but does inhibit SOCs, and (ii) iso-tetrandrine and tetrandrine are effective blockers of CRAC (Ca2+-release-activated Ca2+) channel-like SOCs. These results indicate that AA-activated Ca2+-permeable channels do not contribute to hormone-induced increases or oscillations in [Ca2+]cyt in liver cells. However, AA may be a physiological modulator of Ca2+ inflow in these cells.

Gastrodin Inhibits Store-Operated Ca2+ Entry and Alleviates Cardiac Hypertrophy.

Project description:Cardiac hypertrophy is a major risk factor for heart failure, which are among the leading causes of human death. Gastrodin is a small molecule that has been used clinically to treat neurological and vascular diseases for many years without safety issues. In the present study, we examined protective effect of gastrodin against cardiac hypertrophy and explored the underlying mechanism. Phenylephrine and angiotensin II were used to induce cardiac hypertrophy in a mouse model and a cultured cardiomyocyte model. Gastrodin was found to alleviate the cardiac hypertrophy in both models. Mechanistically, gastrodin attenuated the store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) by reducing the expression of STIM1 and Orai1, two key proteins in SOCE, in animal models as well as in cultured cardiomyocyte model. Furthermore, suppressing SOCE by RO2959, Orai1-siRNAs or STIM1-siRNAs markedly attenuated the phenylephrine-induced hypertrophy in cultured cardiomyocyte model. Together, these results showed that gastrodin inhibited cardiac hypertrophy and it also reduced the SOCE via its action on the expression of STIM1 and Orai1. Furthermore, suppression of SOCE could reduce the phenylephrine-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, suggesting that SOCE-STIM1-Orai1 is located upstream of hypertrophy.

Pharmacological Preconditioning Using Diazoxide Regulates Store-Operated Ca2 + Channels in Adult Rat Cardiomyocytes.

Project description:Voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels and store-operated Ca2+ channels (SOCs) are the major routes of Ca2+ entry into mammalian cells. Previously, we reported that pharmacological preconditioning (PPC) leads to a decrease in the amplitude of L-type calcium channel current in the heart. In this study, we examined PPC-associated changes in SOC function. We measured adult cardiomyocyte membrane currents using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique, and we evaluated reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and intracellular Ca2+ levels in cardiomyocytes using fluorescent probes. Diazoxide (Dzx) and thapsigargin (Tg) were used to induce PPC and to deplete internal stores of Ca2+, respectively. Ca2+ store depletion generated inward currents with strong rectification, which were suppressed by the SOC blocker GSK-7975-A. These currents were completely abolished by PPC, an effect that could be countered with 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD; a selective mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K+ channel blocker), an intracellular mitochondrial energizing solution, or Ni2+ [a blocker of sodium-calcium exchanger (NCX)]. Buffering of ROS and intracellular Ca2+ also prevented PPC effects on SOC currents. Refilling of intracellular stores was largely suppressed by PPC, as determined by measuring intracellular Ca2+ with a fluorescent Ca2+ indicator. These results indicate that influx of Ca2+ through SOCs is inhibited by their ROS and Ca2+-dependent inactivation during PPC and that NCX is a likely source of PPC-inactivating Ca2+. We further showed that NCX associates with Orai1. Down-regulation of SOCs by PPC may play a role in cardioprotection following ischemia-reperfusion.

Lysosomal agents inhibit store-operated Ca2+ entry.

Project description:Pharmacological manipulation of lysosome membrane integrity or ionic movements is a key strategy for probing lysosomal involvement in cellular processes. However, we have found an unexpected inhibition of store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) by these agents. Dipeptides [glycyl-L-phenylalanine 2-naphthylamide (GPN) and L-leucyl-L-leucine methyl ester] that are inducers of lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) uncoupled endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-store depletion from SOCE by interfering with Stim1 oligomerization and/or Stim1 activation of Orai. Similarly, the K+/H+ ionophore, nigericin, that rapidly elevates lysosomal pH, also inhibited SOCE in a Stim1-dependent manner. In contrast, other strategies for manipulating lysosomes (bafilomycin A1, lysosomal re-positioning) had no effect upon SOCE. Finally, the effects of GPN on SOCE and Stim1 was reversed by a dynamin inhibitor, dynasore. Our data show that lysosomal agents not only release Ca2+ from stores but also uncouple this release from the normal recruitment of Ca2+ influx.

Attenuation of store-operated Ca2+ current impairs salivary gland fluid secretion in TRPC1(-/-) mice.

Project description:Agonist-induced Ca(2+) entry via store-operated Ca(2+) (SOC) channels is suggested to regulate a wide variety of cellular functions, including salivary gland fluid secretion. However, the molecular components of these channels and their physiological function(s) are largely unknown. Here we report that attenuation of SOC current underlies salivary gland dysfunction in mice lacking transient receptor potential 1 (TRPC1). Neurotransmitter-regulated salivary gland fluid secretion in TRPC1-deficient TRPC1(-/-) mice was severely decreased (by 70%). Further, agonist- and thapsigargin-stimulated SOC channel activity was significantly reduced in salivary gland acinar cells isolated from TRPC1(-/-) mice. Deletion of TRPC1 also eliminated sustained Ca(2+)-dependent potassium channel activity, which depends on Ca(2+) entry and is required for fluid secretion. Expression of key proteins involved in fluid secretion and Ca(2+) signaling, including STIM1 and other TRPC channels, was not altered. Together, these data demonstrate that reduced SOC entry accounts for the severe loss of salivary gland fluid secretion in TRPC1(-/-) mice. Thus, TRPC1 is a critical component of the SOC channel in salivary gland acinar cells and is essential for neurotransmitter-regulation of fluid secretion.

Regulation of Store-Operated Ca2+ Entry by SARAF.

Project description:Calcium (Ca2+) signaling plays a dichotomous role in cellular biology, controlling cell survival and proliferation on the one hand and cellular toxicity and cell death on the other. Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) by CRAC channels represents a major pathway for Ca2+ entry in non-excitable cells. The CRAC channel has two key components, the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ sensor stromal interaction molecule (STIM) and the plasma-membrane Ca2+ channel Orai. Physical coupling between STIM and Orai opens the CRAC channel and the resulting Ca2+ flux is regulated by a negative feedback mechanism of slow Ca2+ dependent inactivation (SCDI). The identification of the SOCE-associated regulatory factor (SARAF) and investigations of its role in SCDI have led to new functional and molecular insights into how SOCE is controlled. In this review, we provide an overview of the functional and molecular mechanisms underlying SCDI and discuss how the interaction between SARAF, STIM1, and Orai1 shapes Ca2+ signaling in cells.

STIM1 regulates store-operated Ca2+ entry in oocytes.

Project description:The single transmembrane-spanning Ca(2+)-binding protein, STIM1, has been proposed to function as a Ca(2+) sensor that links the endoplasmic reticulum to the activation of store-operated Ca(2+) channels. In this study, the presence, subcellular localization and function of STIM1 in store-operated Ca(2+) entry in oocytes was investigated using the pig as a model. Cloning and sequence analysis revealed the presence of porcine STIM1 with a coding sequence of 2058 bp. In oocytes with full cytoplasmic Ca(2+) stores, STIM1 was localized predominantly in the inner cytoplasm as indicated by immunocytochemistry or overexpression of human STIM1 conjugated to the yellow fluorescent protein. Depletion of the Ca(2+) stores was associated with redistribution of STIM1 along the plasma membrane. Increasing STIM1 expression resulted in enhanced Ca(2+) influx after store depletion and subsequent Ca(2+) add-back; the influx was inhibited when the oocytes were pretreated with lanthanum, a specific inhibitor of store-operated Ca(2+) channels. When STIM1 expression was suppressed using siRNAs, there was no change in cytosolic free Ca(2+) levels in the store-depleted oocytes after Ca(2+) add-back. The findings suggest that in oocytes, STIM1 serves as a sensor of Ca(2+) store content that after store depletion moves to the plasma membrane to stimulate store-operated Ca(2+) entry.

S-acylation of Orai1 regulates store-operated Ca2+ entry.

Project description:Store-operated Ca2+ entry is a central component of intracellular Ca2+ signaling pathways. The Ca2+ release-activated channel (CRAC) mediates store-operated Ca2+ entry in many different cell types. The CRAC channel is composed of the plasma membrane (PM)-localized Orai1 channel and endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-localized STIM1 Ca2+ sensor. Upon ER Ca2+ store depletion, Orai1 and STIM1 form complexes at ER-PM junctions, leading to the formation of activated CRAC channels. Although the importance of CRAC channels is well described, the underlying mechanisms that regulate the recruitment of Orai1 to ER-PM junctions are not fully understood. Here, we describe the rapid and transient S-acylation of Orai1. Using biochemical approaches, we show that Orai1 is rapidly S-acylated at cysteine 143 upon ER Ca2+ store depletion. Importantly, S-acylation of cysteine 143 is required for Orai1-mediated Ca2+ entry and recruitment to STIM1 puncta. We conclude that store depletion-induced S-acylation of Orai1 is necessary for recruitment to ER-PM junctions, subsequent binding to STIM1 and channel activation.

Store-Operated Ca2+ Entry Controls Clonal Expansion of T Cells through Metabolic Reprogramming.

Project description:Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) is the main Ca2+ influx pathway in lymphocytes and is essential for T cell function and adaptive immunity. SOCE is mediated by Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channels that are activated by stromal interaction molecule (STIM) 1 and STIM2. SOCE regulates many Ca2+-dependent signaling molecules, including calcineurin, and inhibition of SOCE or calcineurin impairs antigen-dependent T cell proliferation. We here report that SOCE and calcineurin regulate cell cycle entry of quiescent T cells by controlling glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation. SOCE directs the metabolic reprogramming of naive T cells by regulating the expression of glucose transporters, glycolytic enzymes, and metabolic regulators through the activation of nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) and the PI3K-AKT kinase-mTOR nutrient-sensing pathway. We propose that SOCE controls a critical "metabolic checkpoint" at which T cells assess adequate nutrient supply to support clonal expansion and adaptive immune responses.

The endocannabinoid N-arachidonoyl glycine (NAGly) inhibits store-operated Ca2+ entry by preventing STIM1-Orai1 interaction.

Project description:The endocannabiniod anandamide (AEA) and its derivate N-arachidonoyl glycine (NAGly) have a broad spectrum of physiological effects, which are induced by both binding to receptors and receptor-independent modulations of ion channels and transporters. The impact of AEA and NAGly on store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE), a ubiquitous Ca(2+) entry pathway regulating many cellular functions, is unknown. Here we show that NAGly, but not AEA reversibly hinders SOCE in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. The inhibitory effect of NAGly on SOCE was found in the human endothelial cell line EA.hy926, the rat pancreatic ?-cell line INS-1 832/13, and the rat basophilic leukemia cell line RBL-2H3. NAGly diminished SOCE independently from the mode of Ca(2+) depletion of the endoplasmic reticulum, whereas it had no effect on Ca(2+) entry through L-type voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels. Enhanced Ca(2+) entry was effectively hampered by NAGly in cells overexpressing the key molecular constituents of SOCE, stromal interacting molecule 1 (STIM1) and the pore-forming subunit of SOCE channels, Orai1. Fluorescence microscopy revealed that NAGly did not affect STIM1 oligomerization, STIM1 clustering, or the colocalization of STIM1 with Orai1, which were induced by Ca(2+) depletion of the endoplasmic reticulum. In contrast, independently from its slow depolarizing effect on mitochondria, NAGly instantly and strongly diminished the interaction of STIM1 with Orai1, indicating that NAGly inhibits SOCE primarily by uncoupling STIM1 from Orai1. In summary, our findings revealed the STIM1-Orai1-mediated SOCE machinery as a molecular target of NAGly, which might have many implications in cell physiology.

Store-Operated Ca2+ Release-Activated Ca2+ Channels Regulate PAR2-Activated Ca2+ Signaling and Cytokine Production in Airway Epithelial Cells.

Project description:The G-protein-coupled protease-activated receptor 2 (PAR2) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of various inflammatory and auto-immune disorders. In airway epithelial cells (AECs), stimulation of PAR2 by allergens and proteases triggers the release of a host of inflammatory mediators to regulate bronchomotor tone and immune cell recruitment. Activation of PAR2 turns on several cell signaling pathways of which the mobilization of cytosolic Ca(2+) is likely a critical but poorly understood event. In this study, we show that Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channels encoded by stromal interaction molecule 1 and Orai1 are a major route of Ca(2+) entry in primary human AECs and drive the Ca(2+) elevations seen in response to PAR2 activation. Activation of CRAC channels induces the production of several key inflammatory mediators from AECs including thymic stromal lymphopoietin, IL-6, and PGE2, in part through stimulation of gene expression via nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT). Furthermore, PAR2 stimulation induces the production of many key inflammatory mediators including PGE2, IL-6, IL-8, and GM-CSF in a CRAC channel-dependent manner. These findings indicate that CRAC channels are the primary mechanism for Ca(2+) influx in AECs and a vital checkpoint for the induction of PAR2-induced proinflammatory cytokines.
