Abstract
Calcium (Ca2+) is a key second messenger in eukaryotes, with store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) being the main source of Ca2+ influx into non-excitable cells. ORAI1 is a highly Ca2+-selective plasma membrane channel that encodes SOCE. It is ubiquitously expressed in mammals and has been implicated in numerous diseases, including cardiovascular disease and cancer. A number of small molecules have been identified as inhibitors of SOCE with a variety of potential therapeutic uses proposed and validated in vitro and in vivo. These encompass both nonselective Ca2+ channel inhibitors and targeted selective inhibitors of SOCE. Inhibition of SOCE can be quantified both directly and indirectly with a variety of assay setups, making an accurate comparison of the activity of different SOCE inhibitors challenging. We have used a fluorescence based Ca2+ addback assay in native HEK293 cells to generate dose-response data for many published SOCE inhibitors. We were able to directly compare potency. Most compounds were validated with only minor and expected variations in potency, but some were not. This could be due to differences in assay setup relating to the mechanism of action of the inhibitors and highlights the value of a singular approach to compare these compounds, as well as the general need for biorthogonal validation of novel bioactive compounds. The compounds observed to be the most potent against SOCE in our study were: 7-azaindole 14d (12), JPIII (17), Synta-66 (6), Pyr 3 (5), GSK5503A (8), CM4620 (14) and RO2959 (7). These represent the most promising candidates for future development of SOCE inhibitors for therapeutic use.

Alterations of the Ca 2+ clearing mechanisms by type 2 diabetes in aortic smooth muscle cells of Zucker diabetic fatty rat. Front Physiol 2023; 14:1200115.

Abstract
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a rapidly rising disease with cardiovascular complications constituting the most common cause of death among diabetic patients. Chronic hyperglycemia can induce vascular dysfunction through damage of the components of the vascular wall, such as vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), which regulate vascular tone and contribute to vascular repair and remodeling. These functions are dependent on intracellular Ca2+ changes. The mechanisms by which T2DM affects Ca2+ handling in VSMCs still remain poorly understood. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine whether and how T2DM affects Ca2+ homeostasis in VSMCs. We evaluated intracellular Ca2+ signaling in VSMCs from Zucker Diabetic Fatty rats using Ca2+ imaging with Fura-2/AM. Our results indicate that T2DM decreases Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and increases the activity of store-operated channels (SOCs). Moreover, we were able to identify an enhancement of the activity of the main Ca2+ extrusion mechanisms (SERCA, PMCA and NCX) during the early stage of the decay of the ATP-induced Ca2+ transient. In addition, we found an increase in Ca2+ entry through the reverse mode of NCX and a decrease in SERCA and PMCA activity during the late stage of the signal decay. These effects were appreciated as a shortening of ATP-induced Ca2+ transient during the early stage of the decay, as well as an increase in the amplitude of the following plateau. Enhanced cytosolic Ca2+ activity in VSMCs could contribute to vascular dysfunction associated with T2DM.
