Differential regulation of membrane potential during store-operated calcium entry in neutrophil subsets

ABSTRACT: Calcium signals are initiated in immune cells by the process of store-operated calcium entry (SOCE), where receptor activation triggers transient calcium release from the endoplasmic reticulum, followed by opening of plasma membrane calcium-release activated calcium (CRAC) channels. ORAI1, ORAI2 and ORAI3 are known to comprise the CRAC channel, however the contributions of individual isoforms to neutrophil function is not well understood. Here we show that loss of ORAI1 partially decreases calcium influx while loss of both ORAI1 and ORAI2 completely abolishes store-operated calcium entry. In other immune cell types, loss of ORAI2 enhances SOCE. In contrast, we find that ORAI2-deficient neutrophils display decreased calcium influx, which is correlated with measurable differences in regulation of neutrophil membrane potential via KCa3.1. Decreased SOCE in ORAI1-, ORAI2- and ORAI1/2-deficient neutrophils impairs multiple neutrophil functions including phagocytosis, degranulation, leukotriene and ROS production, rendering ORAI1/2-deficient mice highly susceptible to staphylococcal infection. This study demonstrates that ORAI1 and ORAI2 are the primary components of the neutrophil CRAC channel and identifies novel subpopulations of neutrophils where cell membrane potential functions as a rheostat to modulate the SOCE response. These findings have implications for new mechanisms that modulate neutrophil function during infection, acute and chronic inflammatory conditions, and cancer.

Project description:Systemic lupus erythematous (SLE) is a prototype of autoimmune disease. Lupus nephritis (LN) is one of the most serious complications of SLE. The development of autoreactive B cells and the production of autoantibodies have been critical for the initiation and progression of LN. Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) is the main Ca2+ influx pathway in lymphocytes and is essential for immune response . SOCE is mediated by Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channels which are comprised of stromal interaction molecule (STIM) and calcium release-activated calcium modulators (ORAI) . Mutations in genes encoding the CRAC channel abolish SOCE in cells of the immune system and cause severe combined immunodeficiency . Calcium signaling via ORAI1 has been involved in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases by driving Th17 differentiation . STIM1 deficiency significantly reduced Th1/Th17 responses and resulted in complete protection from experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis . Compared to T cells, the roles of CRAC channel in B cells is far less clear. Ca²⁺/calmodulin (CaM)-dependent protein kinase2 (CaMK2) is a serine/threonine-specific protein kinase that is regulated by the Ca²⁺/CaM complex. CaMK2 has been involved in many signaling pathways and is necessary for Ca²⁺ homeostasis, T cell development and activation. CaMK4, another member of the CaMK family, has been shown to compromises podocyte function and promote renal diseases in LN. In the current study, we found that CRAC channel mediated calcium signaling is enhanced in B cells from patients with LN. CRAC channel inhibition by YM-58483 and knocked down of CRAC channel by ORAI1 or STIM2 siRNA led to suppression of CaMK2 signaling and decreased B cell differentiation. Lupus mice treated with CRAC channel inhibitor showed reduced anti-double stranded DNA antibodies (anti-dsDNA), decreased immune deposition in the glomeruli and improved renal function. CRAC channel mediates the development and progression of LN by promoting the differentiation of B cells into plasma cells.
