Abstract
beta3-adrenergic activation causes Ca2+ release from the mitochondria and subsequent Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), evoking store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) due to Ca2+ depletion from the ER in mouse brown adipocytes. In this study, we investigated how Ca2+ depletion from the ER elicits SOCE in mouse brown adipocytes using fluorometry of intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). The administration of cyclopiazonic acid (CPA), a reversible sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (SERCA) pump blocker in the ER, caused an increase in [Ca2+]i. Moreover, CPA induced SOCE was suppressed by the administration of a Ca2+ free Krebs solution and the transient receptor potential canonical 6 (TRPC6) selective blockers 2-APB, ML-9 and GsMTx-4 but not Pico145, which blocks TRPC1/4/5. Administration of TRPC6 channel agonist 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol (OAG) and flufenamic acid elicited Ca2+ entry. Moreover, our RT-PCR analyses detected mRNAs for TRPC6 in brown adipose tissues. In addition, western blot analyses showed the expression of the TRPC6 protein. Thus, TRPC6 is one of the Ca2+ pathways involved in SOCE. These modes of Ca2+ entry provide the basis for heat production via activation of Ca2+-dependent dehydrogenase and the expression of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1). Enhancing thermogenic metabolism in brown adipocytes may serve as broad therapeutic utility to reduce obesity and metabolic syndrome.

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.

J Physiol 2023; 601:5257-5275. [PMID: 37864413 DOI: 10.1113/jp285263] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 10/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a fatal X-linked disease characterised by severe muscle wasting. The mechanisms underlying the DMD pathology likely involve the interaction between inflammation, oxidative stress and impaired Ca2+ signalling. Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a highly reactive oxidant produced endogenously via myeloperoxidase; an enzyme secreted by neutrophils that is significantly elevated in dystrophic muscle. Oxidation of Ca2+ -handling proteins by HOCl may impair Ca2+ signalling. This study aimed to determine the effects of HOCl on skeletal muscle function and its potential contribution to the dystrophic pathology. Extensor digitorum longus (EDL), soleus and interosseous muscles were surgically isolated from anaesthetised C57 (wild-type) and mdx (dystrophic) mice for measurement of ex vivo force production and intracellular Ca2+ concentration. In whole EDL muscle, HOCl (200 μM) significantly decreased maximal force and increased resting muscle tension which was only partially reversible by dithiothreitol. The effects of HOCl (200 μM) on maximal force in slow-twitch soleus were lower than found in the fast-twitch EDL muscle. In single interosseous myofibres, HOCl (10 μM) significantly increased resting intracellular Ca2+ concentration and decreased Ca2+ transient amplitude. These effects of HOCl were reduced by the application of tetracaine, Gd3+ or streptomycin, implicating involvement of ryanodine receptors and transient receptor potential channels. These results demonstrate the potent effects of HOCl on skeletal muscle function potentially mediated by HOCl-induced oxidation to Ca2+ signalling proteins. Hence, HOCl may provide a link between chronic inflammation, oxidative stress and impaired Ca2+ handling that is characteristic of DMD and presents a potential therapeutic target for DMD. KEY POINTS: Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a fatal genetic disease with pathological mechanisms which involve the complex interaction of chronic inflammation, increased reactive oxygen species production and increased cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations. Hypochlorous acid can be endogenously produced by neutrophils via the enzyme myeloperoxidase. Both neutrophil and myeloperoxidase activity are increased in dystrophic mice. This study found that hypochlorous acid decreased muscle force production and increased cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations in isolated muscles from wild-type and dystrophic mice at relatively low concentrations of hypochlorous acid. These results indicate that hypochlorous acid may be key in the Duchenne muscular dystrophy disease pathology and may provide a unifying link between the chronic inflammation, increased reactive oxygen species production and increased cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations observed in Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Hypochlorous acid production may be a potential target for therapeutic treatments of Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Abstract
Stromal-interacting molecule 1 (STIM1) proteins are essential for the function of store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE). Using transcriptomics, metabolomics, imaging, and inducible smooth muscle–specific STIM1 knockout mice expressing genetically encoded Ca2+ sensors, we reveal a crucial function of STIM1 in airway remodeling and airway hyperresponsiveness in asthma. STIM1-mediated Ca2+ oscillations in airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells are critical for ASM remodeling through metabolic and transcriptional reprogramming and cytokine secretion, including IL-6. These effects are driven by Ca2+-dependent activation of the transcription factor isoform NFAT4 specifically in ASM. Our data provide evidence that ASM STIM1 and SOCE are central triggers of asthma manifestations and advocate for the future use of STIM1 as a molecular target in asthma therapy. Airway remodeling and airway hyperresponsiveness are central drivers of asthma severity. Airway remodeling is a structural change involving the dedifferentiation of airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells from a quiescent to a proliferative and secretory phenotype. Here, we show up-regulation of the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ sensor stromal-interacting molecule 1 (STIM1) in ASM of asthmatic mice. STIM1 is required for metabolic and transcriptional reprogramming that supports airway remodeling, including ASM proliferation, migration, secretion of cytokines and extracellular matrix, enhanced mitochondrial mass, and increased oxidative phosphorylation and glycolytic flux. Mechanistically, STIM1-mediated Ca2+ influx is critical for the activation of nuclear factor of activated T cells 4 and subsequent interleukin-6 secretion and transcription of pro-remodeling transcription factors, growth factors, surface receptors, and asthma-associated proteins. STIM1 drives airway hyperresponsiveness in asthmatic mice through enhanced frequency and amplitude of ASM cytosolic Ca2+ oscillations. Our data advocates for ASM STIM1 as a target for asthma therapy.

Abstract
In the adult, vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) are normally physiologically quiescent, arranged circumferentially in one or more layers within blood vessel walls. Remodelling of native VSMC to a proliferative state for vascular development, adaptation or repair is driven by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). A key effector downstream of PDGF receptors is store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) mediated through the plasma membrane calcium ion channel, ORAI1, which is activated by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) calcium store sensor, stromal interaction molecule-1 (STIM1). This SOCE was shown to play fundamental roles in the pathological remodelling of VSMC. Exciting transgenic lineage-tracing studies have revealed that the contribution of the phenotypically-modulated VSMC in atherosclerotic plaque formation is more significant than previously appreciated, and growing evidence supports the relevance of ORAI1 signalling in this pathologic remodelling. ORAI1 has also emerged as an attractive potential therapeutic target as it is accessible to extracellular compound inhibition. This is further supported by the progression of several ORAI1 inhibitors into clinical trials. Here we discuss the current knowledge of ORAI1-mediated signalling in pathologic vascular remodelling, particularly in the settings of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and neointimal hyperplasia, and the recent developments in our understanding of the mechanisms by which ORAI1 coordinates VSMC phenotypic remodelling, through the activation of key transcription factor, nuclear factor of activated T-cell (NFAT). In addition, we discuss advances in therapeutic strategies aimed at the ORAI1 target.

TRPC channel-derived calcium fluxes differentially regulate ATP and flow-induced activation of eNOS. Nitric Oxide 2021; 111-112:1-13.

Abstract
Endothelial dysfunction, characterised by impaired nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability, arises in response to a variety of cardiovascular risk factors and precedes atherosclerosis. NO is produced by tight regulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activity in response to vasodilatory stimuli. This regulation of eNOS is mediated in part by store-operated calcium entry (SOCE). We hypothesized that both ATP- and flow-induced eNOS activation are regulated by SOCE derived from Orai1 channels and members of the transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channel family. Bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs) were pre-treated with pharmacological inhibitors of TRPC channels and Orai1 to examine their effect on calcium signaling and eNOS activation in response to flow and ATP. The peak and sustained ATP-induced calcium signal and the resulting eNOS activation were attenuated by inhibition of TRPC3, which we found to be store operated. TRPC4 blockade reduced the transient peak in calcium concentration following ATP stimulation, but did not significantly reduce eNOS activity. Simultaneous TRPC3 & 4 inhibition reduced flow-induced NO production via alterations in phosphorylation-mediated eNOS activity. Inhibition of TRPC1/6 or Orai1 failed to lower ATP-induced calcium entry or eNOS activation. Our results suggest that TRPC3 is a store-operated channel in BAECs and is the key regulator of ATP-induced eNOS activation, whereas flow stimulation also recruits TRPC4 into the pathway for the synthesis of NO.

Abstract
Calcium is a critical secondary messenger in microglia. In response to inflammation, microglia mobilize intracellular calcium and increase the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), which produces nitric oxide (NO). This study set to explore whether NO regulates intracellular calcium dynamics through transient receptor potential (TRP) channels in primary wildtype (WT) and iNOS knockout (iNOS-/-) microglia, and the BV2 microglial cell line using calcium imaging and voltage-clamp recordings. Our results demonstrated that application of the NO-donor SNAP induced a biphasic calcium response in naïve murine microglia. Specifically, phase I was characterized by a rapid decline in calcium influx that was attenuated by pretreatment of the store operated calcium channel (SOCC) inhibitor 2APB, while phase II presented as a slow calcium influx that was abolished by pretreatment with the TRP vanilloid type 2 (TRPV2) channel inhibitor tranilast. Importantly, in the presence of a protein kinase G (PKG) inhibitor, the SNAP-mediated calcium decline in phase I persisted while the calcium influx in phase II was abolished. Application of thapsigargin to activate SOCCs caused a calcium influx through a nonselective cation conductance in BV2 microglia, which was abruptly attenuated by SNAP. Importantly, iNOS-/- microglia displayed a significantly larger calcium influx though SOCCs while expressing less stromal interaction molecule 1, Orai1, and TRP canonical type 1 and 3 mRNA, when compared to WT microglia. Together, these results demonstrate that NO signaling restricts calcium influx through SOCCs independent of PKG signaling and increases calcium influx through TRPV2 channels in a PKG-dependent mechanism in microglia.

Abstract
Stromal-interaction molecules (STIM1/2) sense endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+ depletion and activate Orai channels. However, the choreography of interactions between native STIM/Orai proteins under physiological agonist stimulation is unknown. We show that the five STIM1/2 and Orai1/2/3 proteins are non-redundant and function together to ensure the graded diversity of mammalian Ca2+ signaling. Physiological Ca2+ signaling requires functional interactions between STIM1/2, Orai1/2/3, and IP3Rs, ensuring that receptor-mediated Ca2+ release is tailored to Ca2+ entry and nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) activation. The N-terminal Ca2+-binding ER-luminal domains of unactivated STIM1/2 inhibit IP3R-evoked Ca2+ release. A gradual increase in agonist intensity and STIM1/2 activation relieves IP3R inhibition. Concomitantly, activated STIM1/2 C termini differentially interact with Orai1/2/3 as agonist intensity increases. Thus, coordinated and omnitemporal functions of all five STIM/Orai and IP3Rs translate the strength of agonist stimulation to precise levels of Ca2+ signaling and NFAT induction, ensuring the fidelity of complex mammalian Ca2+ signaling.

Abstract
Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) is an ancient and ubiquitous Ca2+ signaling pathway that is present in virtually every cell type. Over the last two decades, many studies have implicated this non-voltage dependent Ca2+ entry pathway in cardiac physiology. The relevance of the SOCE pathway in cardiomyocytes is often questioned given the well-established role for excitation contraction coupling. In this review, we consider the evidence that STIM1 and SOCE contribute to Ca2+ dynamics in cardiomyocytes. We discuss the relevance of this pathway to cardiac growth in response to developmental and pathologic cues. We also address whether STIM1 contributes to Ca2+ store refilling that likely impacts cardiac pacemaking and arrhythmogenesis in cardiomyocytes.

Abstract
An emerging body of evidence indicates that transient receptor potential TRP channels act as important mediators for a wide variety of physiological functions and are potential targets for drug discovery. Our previous study has identified transient receptor potential channel 3 (TRPC3) and TRPC6 as cation channels through which most of the damaging calcium enters, aggravates pathological changes in vivo and increases ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in mice. This study aimed to verify the effects of TRPC3 inhibitor Pyr3 on myocardial I/R injury in mice. C57BL/6J wild-type male mice (8 to 12 weeks old) were anesthetized with 3.3% chloral hydrate. A murine I (30 min)/R (24 h) injury model was established by temporary occlusion of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery. Pyr3 was administered at concentrations of 0, 2.5, 5, or 10 mg/kg via the right jugular vein 5 min before reperfusion. We observed that the selective TRPC3 inhibitor, 10 mg/kg Pyr3, significantly decreased the infarct size of left ventricle, and reduced the myocardial cell apoptosis rate and inflammatory response in mice. In a conclusion, TRPC3 can function as a candidate target for I/R injury prevention, and Pyr3 may directly bind to TRPC3 channel protein, inhibit TRPC3 channel activity, and improve TRPC3-related myocardial I/R injury. Pyr3 may be used for clarification of TRPC3 functions and for treatments of TRPC3-mediated diseases.

Abstract
The store-operated calcium entry, better known as SOCE, forms the main Ca2+ influx pathway in non-excitable cells, especially in leukocytes, where it is required for cell activation and the immune response. During the past decades, several inhibitors were developed, but they lack specificity or efficacy. From the non-specific SOCE inhibitor 2-aminoethyl diphenylborinate (2-APB), we synthetized 16 new analogues by replacing/modifying the phenyl groups. Among them, our compound P11 showed the best inhibitory capacity with a Ki ≈ 75 nM. Furthermore, below 1 µM, P11 was devoid of any inhibitory activity on the two other main cellular targets of 2-APB, the IP3 receptors, and the SERCA pumps. Interestingly, Jurkat T cells secrete interleukin-2 under phytohemagglutinin stimulation but undergo cell death and stop IL-2 synthesis when stimulated in the presence of increasing P11 concentrations. Thus, P11 could represent the first member of a new and potent family of immunosuppressors.

Abstract
The ubiquitous Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channel is crucial to many physiological functions. Both gain and loss of CRAC function is linked to disease. While ORAI1 is a crucial subunit of CRAC channels, recent evidence suggests that ORAI2 and ORAI3 heteromerize with ORAI1 to form native CRAC channels. Furthermore, ORAI2 and ORAI3 can form CRAC channels independently of ORAI1, suggesting diverse native CRAC stoichiometries. Yet, most available CRAC modifiers are presumed to target ORAI1 with little knowledge of their effects on ORAI2/3 or heteromers of ORAIs. Here, we used ORAI1/2/3 triple-null cells to express individual ORAI1, ORAI2, ORAI3 or ORAI1/2/3 concatemers. We reveal that GSK-7975A and BTP2 essentially abrogate ORAI1 and ORAI2 activity while causing only a partial inhibition of ORAI3. Interestingly, Synta66 abrogated ORAI1 channel function, while potentiating ORAI2 with no effect on ORAI3. CRAC channel activities mediated by concatenated ORAI1-1, ORAI1-2 and ORAI1-3 dimers were inhibited by Synta66, while ORAI2-3 dimers were unaffected. The CRAC enhancer IA65 significantly potentiated ORAI1 and ORAI1-1 activity with marginal effects on other ORAIs. Further, we characterized the profiles of individual ORAI isoforms in the presence of Gd3+ (5μM), 2-APB (5 μM and 50 μM), as well as changes in intracellular and extracellular pH. Our data reveal unique pharmacological features of ORAI isoforms expressed in an ORAI-null background and provide new insights into ORAI isoform selectivity of widely used CRAC pharmacological compounds.

Abstract
Cancer, the second cause of death worldwide, is characterized by several common criteria, known as the “cancer hallmarks” such as unrestrained cell proliferation, cell death resistance, angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis. Calcium permeable channels are proteins present in external and internal biological membranes, diffusing Ca2+ ions down their electrochemical gradient. Numerous physiological functions are mediated by calcium channels, ranging from intracellular calcium homeostasis to sensory transduction. Consequently, calcium channels play important roles in human physiology and it is not a surprise the increasing number of evidences connecting calcium channels disorders with tumor cells growth, survival and migration. Multiple studies suggest that calcium signals are augmented in various cancer cell types, contributing to cancer hallmarks. This review focuses in the role of calcium permeable channels signaling in cancer with special attention to the mechanisms behind the remodeling of the calcium signals. Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channels and Store Operated Channels (SOC) are the main extracellular Ca2+ source in the plasma membrane of non-excitable cells, while inositol trisphosphate receptors (IP3R) are the main channels releasing Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Alterations in the function and/or expression of these calcium channels, as wells as, the calcium buffering by mitochondria affect intracellular calcium homeostasis and signaling, contributing to the transformation of normal cells into their tumor counterparts. Several compounds reported to counteract several cancer hallmarks also modulate the activity and/or the expression of these channels including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like sulindac and aspirin, and inhibitors of polyamine biosynthesis, like difluoromethylornithine (DFMO). The possible role of the calcium permeable channels targeted by these compounds in cancer and their action mechanism will be discussed also in the review.

Abstract
The essential role of ORAI1 channels in receptor-evoked Ca2+ signaling is well understood, yet little is known about the physiological activation of the ORAI channel trio natively expressed in all cells. The roles of ORAI2 and ORAI3 have remained obscure. We show that ORAI2 and ORAI3 channels play a critical role in mediating the regenerative Ca2+ oscillations induced by physiological receptor activation, yet ORAI1 is dispensable in generation of oscillations. We reveal that ORAI2 and ORAI3 channels multimerize with ORAI1 to expand the range of sensitivity of receptor-activated Ca2+ signals, reflecting their enhanced basal STIM1-binding and heightened Ca2+-dependent inactivation. This broadened bandwidth of Ca2+ influx is translated by cells into differential activation of NFAT1 and NFAT4 isoforms. Our results uncover a long-sought role for ORAI2 and ORAI3, revealing an intricate control mechanism whereby heteromerization of ORAI channels mediates graded Ca2+ signals that extend the agonist-sensitivity to fine-tune transcriptional control.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Boron is considered a trace element that induces various effects in systems of the human body. However, each boron-containing compound exerts different effects. OBJECTIVE To review the effects of 2-Aminoethyldiphenyl borinate (2-APB), an organoboron compound, on the human body, but also, its effects in animal models of human disease. METHODS In this review, the information to showcase the expansion of these reported effects through interactions with several ion channels and other receptors has been reported. These effects are relevant in the biomedical and chemical fields due to the application of the reported data in developing therapeutic tools to modulate the functions of the immune, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and nervous systems. RESULTS Accordingly, 2-APB acts as a modulator of adaptive and innate immunity, including the production of cytokines and the migration of leukocytes. Additionally, reports show that 2-APB exerts effects on neurons, smooth muscle cells and cardiomyocytes, and it provides a cytoprotective effect by the modulation and attenuation of reactive oxygen species. CONCLUSION The molecular pharmacology of 2-APB supports both its potential to act as a drug and the desirable inclusion of its moieties in new drug development. Research evaluating its efficacy in treating pain and specific maladies, such as immune, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and neurodegenerative disorders, is scarce but interesting.

Abstract
Prostaglandin D2 and its cyclopentenone metabolites [cyclopentenone prostaglandins (CyPGs)], Δ12prostaglandin J2 and 15-deoxy-Δ12,14-prostaglandin J2, act through 2 GPCRs, d-type prostanoid 1 and the chemoattractant receptor homologous molecule expressed on type 2 T-helper cells (Crth2). In addition to its role in allergy and asthma, the role of Crth2 in the resolution of inflammation, to mediate the proresolving functions of endogenous CyPGs, is not well understood. We investigated the regulation of LPS or zymosan-induced inflammatory response by signals from the Crth2 receptor in macrophages that lack Crth2 expression [knockout (KO)]. Increased expression of proinflammatory genes, including Tnf-α, was observed in Crth2 KO cells. Targeting the endogenous biosynthetic pathway of CyPGs with indomethacin or HQL79, which inhibit cyclooxygenases or hematopoietic prostaglandin D synthase, respectively, or use of Crth2 antagonists recapitulated the proinflammatory phenotype as in Crth2 KO cells. Ligand-dependent activation of Crth2 by 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-prostaglandin D2 increased Ca2+ influx through store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) accompanied by the up-regulation of stromal interaction molecule 1 and calcium release-activated calcium modulator 1 expression, suggesting that the proresolution effects of CyPG-dependent activation of SOCE could be mediated by Crth2 during inflammation. Interestingly, Crth2 signaling down-regulated the Ca2+-regulated heat stable protein 1 that stabilizes Tnf-α mRNA via the increased expression of microRNA 155 to dampen inflammatory responses triggered through the TNF-α-NF-κB axis. In summary, these studies present a novel regulatory role for Crth2 during inflammatory response in macrophages.-Diwakar, B.

Abstract
In neonates, catecholamine (CA) secretion from adrenal medullary chromaffin cells (AMC) is an important mechanism for maintaining homeostasis during hypoxia. Nearly 90% of premature infants experience chronic intermittent hypoxia (IH) because of high incidence of apnea of prematurity, which is characterized by periodic stoppage of breathing. The present study examined the effects of repetitive hypoxia, designed to mimic apnea of prematurity, on CA release from AMC of neonatal rats. Neonatal rats were exposed to either control conditions or chronic intermittent hypoxia (IH) from ages postnatal days 0-5 (P0-P5), and CA release from adrenal medullary slices was measured after challenge with repetitive hypoxia (5 episodes of 30-s hypoxia, Po2 ~35 mmHg). In response to repetitive hypoxia, chronic IH-treated AMC exhibited sustained CA release, and this phenotype was not seen in control AMC. The sustained CA release was associated with long-lasting elevation of intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), which was due to store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE). 2-Aminoethoxydiphenyl borate, an inhibitor of SOCE, prevented the long-lasting [Ca2+]i elevation and CA release. Repetitive hypoxia increased H2O2 abundance, and polyethylene glycol (PEG)-catalase, a scavenger of H2O2 blocked this effect. PEG-catalase also prevented repetitive hypoxia-induced SOCE activation, sustained [Ca2+]i elevation, and CA release. These results demonstrate that repetitive hypoxia induces long-term facilitation of CA release in chronic IH-treated neonatal rat AMC through sustained Ca2+ influx mediated by SOCE.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Apnea of prematurity and the resulting chronic intermittent hypoxia are major clinical problems in neonates born preterm. Catecholamine release from adrenal medullary chromaffin cells maintains homeostasis during hypoxia in neonates. Our results demonstrate that chronic intermittent hypoxia induces a hitherto uncharacterized long-term facilitation of catecholamine secretion from neonatal rat chromaffin cells in response to repetitive hypoxia, simulating hypoxic episodes encountered during apnea of prematurity. The sustained catecholamine secretion might contribute to cardiovascular morbidities in infants with apnea of prematurity.

Br J Pharmacol 2019; 176:3297-3317. [PMID: 31177523 PMCID: PMC6692577 DOI: 10.1111/bph.14762] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2019] [Revised: 05/14/2019] [Accepted: 05/20/2019] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The TRPV4 ion channels are Ca2+ permeable, non-selective cation channels that mediate large, but highly localized, Ca2+ signals in the endothelium. The mechanisms that permit highly localized Ca2+ changes to evoke cell-wide activity are incompletely understood. Here, we tested the hypothesis that TRPV4-mediated Ca2+ influx activates Ca2+ release from internal Ca2+ stores to generate widespread effects. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Ca2+ signals in large numbers (~100) of endothelial cells in intact arteries were imaged and analysed separately. KEY RESULTS Responses to the TRPV4 channel agonist GSK1016790A were heterogeneous across the endothelium. In activated cells, Ca2+ responses comprised localized Ca2+ changes leading to slow, persistent, global increases in Ca2+ followed by large propagating Ca2+ waves that moved within and between cells. To examine the mechanisms underlying each component, we developed methods to separate slow persistent Ca2+ rise from the propagating Ca2+ waves in each cell. TRPV4-mediated Ca2+ entry was required for the slow persistent global rise and propagating Ca2+ signals. The propagating waves were inhibited by depleting internal Ca2+ stores, inhibiting PLC or blocking IP3 receptors. Ca2+ release from stores was tightly controlled by TRPV4-mediated Ca2+ influx and ceased when influx was terminated. Furthermore, Ca2+ release from internal stores was essential for TRPV4-mediated control of vascular tone. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Ca2+ influx via TRPV4 channels is amplified by Ca2+ -induced Ca2+ release acting at IP3 receptors to generate propagating Ca2+ waves and provide a large-scale endothelial communication system. TRPV4-mediated control of vascular tone requires Ca2+ release from the internal store.

MiR-204 regulates type 1 IP 3R to control vascular smooth muscle cell contractility and blood pressure. Cell Calcium 2019; 80:18-24. [PMID: 30925290 DOI: 10.1016/j.ceca.2019.03.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2019] [Revised: 03/17/2019] [Accepted: 03/17/2019] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
MiR-204 is expressed in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). However, its role in VSMC contraction is not known. We determined if miR-204 controls VSMC contractility and blood pressure through regulation of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) calcium (Ca2+) release. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and vasoreactivity to VSMC contractile agonists (phenylephrine (PE), thromboxane analogue (U46619), endothelin-1 (ET-1), angiotensin-II (Ang II) and norepinephrine (NE) were compared in aortas and mesenteric resistance arteries (MRA) from miR-204-/- mice and wildtype mice (WT). There was no difference in basal systolic blood pressure (SBP) between the two genotypes; however, hypertensive response to Ang II was significantly greater in miR-204-/- mice compared to WT mice. Aortas and MRA of miR-204-/- mice had heightened contractility to all VSMC agonists. In silico algorithms predicted the type 1 Inositol 1, 4, 5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R1) as a target of miR-204. Aortas and MRA of miR-204-/- mice had higher expression of IP3R1 compared to WT mice. Difference in agonist-induced vasoconstriction between miR-204-/- and WT mice was abolished with pharmacologic inhibition of IP3R1. Furthermore, Ang II-induced aortic IP3R1 was greater in miR-204-/- mice compared to WT mice. In addition, difference in aortic vasoconstriction to VSMC agonists between miR-204-/- and WT mice persisted after Ang II infusion. Inhibition of miR-204 in VSMC in vitro increased IP3R1, and boosted SR Ca2+ release in response to PE, while overexpression of miR-204 downregulated IP3R1. Finally, a sequence-specific nucleotide blocker that targets the miR-204-IP3R1 interaction rescued miR-204-induced downregulation of IP3R1. We conclude that miR-204 controls VSMC contractility and blood pressure through IP3R1-dependent regulation of SR calcium release.

Abstract
Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) is a ubiquitous pathway for Ca2+ influx across the plasma membrane (PM). SOCE is mediated by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated Ca2+-sensing proteins stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) and STIM2, which transition into an active conformation in response to ER Ca2+ store depletion, thereby interacting with and gating PM-associated ORAI1 channels. Although structurally homologous, STIM1 and STIM2 generate distinct Ca2+ signatures in response to varying strengths of agonist stimulation. The physiological functions of these Ca2+ signatures, particularly under native conditions, remain unclear. To investigate the structural properties distinguishing STIM1 and STIM2 activation of ORAI1 channels under native conditions, here we used CRISPR/Cas9 to generate STIM1-/-, STIM2-/-, and STIM1/2-/- knockouts in HEK293 and colorectal HCT116 cells. We show that depending on cell type, STIM2 can significantly sustain SOCE in response to maximal store depletion. Utilizing the SOCE modifier 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB), we demonstrate that 2-APB-activated store-independent Ca2+ entry is mediated exclusively by endogenous STIM2. Using variants that either stabilize or disrupt intramolecular interactions of STIM C termini, we show that the increased flexibility of the STIM2 C terminus contributes to its selective store-independent activation by 2-APB. However, STIM1 variants with enhanced flexibility in the C terminus failed to support its store-independent activation. STIM1/STIM2 chimeric constructs indicated that coordination between N-terminal sensitivity and C-terminal flexibility is required for specific store-independent STIM2 activation. Our results clarify the structural determinants underlying activation of specific STIM isoforms, insights that are potentially useful for isoform-selective drug targeting.

Abstract
Cardiorespiratory disease, which includes systemic arterial hypertension, restenosis, atherosclerosis, pulmonary arterial hypertension, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are highly prevalent and devastating diseases with limited therapeutic modalities. A common pathophysiological theme to these diseases is cellular remodeling, which is contributed by changes in expression and activation of ion channels critical for either excitability or growth. Calcium (Ca2+) signaling and specifically ORAI Ca2+ channels have emerged as significant regulators of smooth muscle, endothelial, epithelial, platelet, and immune cell remodeling. This review details the dysregulation of ORAI in cardiorespiratory diseases, and how this dysregulation of ORAI contributes to cellular remodeling.

Abstract
The store-operated calcium (Ca2+) entry (SOCE) pathway is an essential Ca2+ signaling pathway in non-excitable cells that serve many physiological functions. SOCE is mediated through the plasma membrane (PM) protein, Orai1, and the endoplasmic reticulum protein, stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1). One of the most well-established methods to study SOCE is using the Ca2+-sensing dye, fura-2. Here we describe a detailed protocol on how to use fura-2 to study Ca2+ signaling from SOCE in human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells.

Abstract
Store operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) is an ancient and ubiquitous Ca2+ signaling pathway discovered decades ago, but the function of SOCE in human physiology is only now being revealed. The relevance of this pathway to striated muscle was solidified with the description of skeletal myopathies that result from mutations in STIM1 and Orai1, the two SOCE components. Here, we consider the evidence for STIM1 and SOCE in cardiac muscle and the sinoatrial node. We highlight recent studies revealing a role for STIM1 in cardiac growth in response to developmental and pathologic cues. We also review the role of STIM1 in the regulation of SOCE and Ca2+ store refilling in a non-Orai dependent manner. Finally, we discuss the importance of this pathway in ventricular cardiomyocytes where SOCE contribute to developmental growth and in pacemaker cells where SOCE likely has a fundamental to generating the cardiac rhythm.

Abstract
In airway smooth muscle, the intracellular basal Ca2+ concentration [b(Ca2+)i] must be tightly regulated by several mechanisms in order to maintain a proper airway patency. The b[Ca2+]i is efficiently regulated by sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase 2b, plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase 1 or 4 and by the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger. Membranal Ca2+ channels, including the L-type voltage dependent Ca2+ channel (L-VDCC), T-type voltage dependent Ca2+ channel (T-VDCC) and transient receptor potential canonical 3 (TRPC3), appear to be constitutively active under basal conditions via the action of different signaling pathways, and are responsible for Ca2+ influx to maintain b[Ca2+]i. The two types of voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels (L- and T-type) are modulated by phosphorylation processes mediated by mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) and extracellular-signal-regulated kinase 1 and 2 (ERK1/2). The MEK/ERK signaling pathway can be activated by G-protein-coupled receptors through the αq subunit when the endogenous ligand (i.e., acetylcholine, histamine, leukotrienes, etc.) is present under basal conditions. It may also be stimulated when receptor tyrosine kinases are occupied by the appropriate ligand (cytokines, growth factors, etc.). ERK1/2 phosphorylates L-VDCC on Ser496 of the β2 subunit and Ser1928 of the α1 subunit, decreasing or increasing the channel activity, respectively, and enabling it to switch between an open and closed state. T-VDCC is also probably phosphorylated by ERK1/2, although further research is required to identify the phosphorylation sites. TRPC3 is directly activated by diacylglycerol produced by phospholipase C (PLCβ or γ). Constitutive inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate production induces the release of Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum through inositol triphosphate receptor 1. This ion induces Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release through the ryanodine receptor 2 (designated as Ca2+ ‘sparks’). Therefore, several Ca2+ handling mechanisms are finely tuned to regulate basal intracellular Ca2+ concentrations. It is conceivable that alterations in any of these processes may render airway smooth muscle susceptible to develop hyperresponsiveness that is observed in ailments such as asthma.

Induction of store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) suppresses glioblastoma growth by inhibiting the Hippo pathway transcriptional coactivators YAP/TAZ. Oncogene 2018; 38:120-139.

Abstract
Glioblastomas (GBM) are the most aggressive brain cancers without effective therapeutics. The Hippo pathway transcriptional coactivators YAP/TAZ were implicated as drivers in GBM progression and could be therapeutic targets. Here, we found in an unbiased screen of 1650 compounds that amlodipine is able to inhibit survival of GBM cells by suppressing YAP/TAZ activities. Instead of its known function as an L-type calcium channel blocker, we found that amlodipine is able to activate Ca2+ entry by enhancing store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE). Amlodipine as well as approaches that cause store depletion and activate SOCE trigger phosphorylation and activation of Lats1/2, which in turn phosphorylate YAP/TAZ and prevent their accumulation in the cell nucleus. Furthermore, we identified that protein kinase C (PKC) beta II is a major mediator of Ca2+-induced Lats1/2 activation. Ca2+ induces accumulation of PKC beta II in an actin cytoskeletal compartment. Such translocation depends on inverted formin-2 (INF2). Depletion of INF2 disrupts both PKC beta II translocation and Lats1/2 activation. Functionally, we found that elevation of cytosolic Ca2+ or PKC beta II expression inhibits YAP/TAZ-mediated gene transcription. In vivo PKC beta II expression inhibits GBM tumor growth and prolongs mouse survival through inhibition of YAP/TAZ in an orthotopic mouse xenograft model. Our studies indicate that Ca2+ is a crucial intracellular cue that regulates the Hippo pathway, and that triggering SOCE could be a strategy to target YAP/TAZ in GBM.

Abstract
TRPC3 is one of the classical members of the mammalian transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily of ion channels. TRPC3 is a molecule with intriguing sensory features including the direct recognition of and activation by diacylglycerols (DAG). Although TRPC3 channels are ubiquitously expressed, they appear to control functions of the cardiovascular system and the brain in a highly specific manner. Moreover, a role of TRPC3 in immunity, cancer, and tissue remodeling has been proposed, generating much interest in TRPC3 as a target for pharmacological intervention. Advances in the understanding of molecular architecture and structure-function relations of TRPC3 have been the foundations for novel therapeutic approaches, such as photopharmacology and optochemical genetics of TRPC3. This review provides an account of advances in therapeutic targeting of TRPC3 channels.

Abstract
Almost three decades have passed since the identification of the two specific metabotropic receptors mediating cannabinoid pharmacology. Thereafter, many cannabinoid effects, both at central and peripheral levels, have been well documented and characterized. However, numerous evidences demonstrated that these pharmacological actions could not be attributable solely to the activation of CB1 and CB2 receptors since several important cannabimimetic actions have been found in biological systems lacking CB1 or CB2 gene such as in specific cell lines or transgenic mice. It is now well accepted that, beyond their receptor-mediated effects, these molecules can act also via CB1/CB2-receptor-independent mechanism. Cannabinoids have been demonstrated to modulate several voltage-gated channels (including Ca2+, Na+, and various type of K+ channels), ligand-gated ion channels (i.e., GABA, glycine), and ion-transporting membranes proteins such as transient potential receptor class (TRP) channels. The first direct, cannabinoid receptor-independent interaction was reported on the function of serotonin 5-HT3 receptor-ion channel complex. Similar effects were reported also on the other above mentioned ion channels. In the early ninety, studies searching for endogenous modulators of L-type Ca2+ channels identified anandamide as ligand for L-type Ca2+ channel. Later investigations indicated that other types of Ca2+ currents are also affected by endocannabinoids, and, in the late ninety, it was discovered that endocannabinoids activate the vanilloid receptor subtype 1 (TRPV1), and nowadays, it is known that (endo)cannabinoids gate at least five distinct TRP channels. This chapter focuses on cannabinoid regulation of ion channels and lays special emphasis on their action at transient receptor channels.

Abstract
‘Calcium signalling’ is the ubiquitous response of glial cells to multiple extracellular stimuli. The primary mechanism of glial calcium signalling is by release of calcium from intracellular stores of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Replenishment of ER Ca2+ stores relies on store-operated calcium entry (SOCE). However, despite the importance of calcium signalling in glial cells, little is known about their mechanisms of SOCE. Here, we investigated SOCE in glia of the mouse optic nerve, a typical CNS white matter tract that comprises bundles of myelinated axons and the oligodendrocytes and astrocytes that support them. Using quantitative RT-PCR, we identified Orai1 channels, both Stim1 and Stim2, and the transient receptor potential M3 channel (TRPM3) as the primary channels for SOCE in the optic nerve, and their expression in both astrocytes and oligodendrocytes was demonstrated by immunolabelling of optic nerve sections and cultures. The functional importance of SOCE was demonstrated by fluo-4 calcium imaging on isolated intact optic nerves and optic nerve cultures. Removal of extracellular calcium ([Ca2+]o) resulted in a marked depletion of glial cytosolic calcium ([Ca2+]i), which recovered rapidly on restoration of [Ca2+]o via SOCE. 2-aminoethoxydiphenylborane (2APB) significantly decreased SOCE and severely attenuated ATP-mediated calcium signalling. The results provide evidence that Orai/Stim and TRPM3 are important components of the ‘calcium toolkit’ that underpins SOCE and the sustainability of calcium signalling in white matter glia.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Testosterone (TES), other androgens and female sex steroids induce non-genomic rapid relaxing effects in airway smooth muscle (ASM). In guinea pig ASM, basal tension was relaxed by dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and TES; 17β-estradiol (E2) had a small effect. Blockers of L-type voltage dependent Ca2+ channel (L-VDCC, D-600) and store operated Ca2+ channel (SOC, 2-APB) also relaxed the basal tone. In tracheal myocytes, DHEA and TES diminished intracellular basal Ca2+ concentrations (b[Ca2+]i) as D-600+2-APB but to a higher extend. TES after D-600+2APB or Pyr3, a blocker of canonical transient receptor potential 3 (TRPC3), further decreased b[Ca2+]i rendering this response equal to TES alone. With indomethacin, the b[Ca2+]i decrease induced by the blockade of L-VDCC and TRPC3 was not changed by the addition of TES. PGE2 or forskolin addition after D600+2-APB, decreased b[Ca2+]i resembling TES response. An adenylate cyclase inhibitor followed by D-600+2-APB lowered b[Ca2+]i, TES showed no further effect. Carbachol-induced [Ca2+]i increment was reduced by TES or DHEA. 17β-estradiol diminished KCl-induced contraction and, in tracheal myocytes, the voltage-dependent inward Ca2+ current. CONCLUSION DHEA and TES diminish ASM tone and b[Ca2+]i by blocking L-VDCC and probably a constitutively active TRPC3, and by PGE2 synthesis. E2 lowers ASM basal tone by blocking only L-VDCC.

Abstract
The intracellular calcium ions (Ca2+) act as second messenger to regulate gene transcription, cell proliferation, migration and death. Accumulating evidences have demonstrated that intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis is altered in cancer cells and the alteration is involved in tumor initiation, angiogenesis, progression and metastasis. Targeting derailed Ca2+ signaling for cancer therapy has become an emerging research area. This review summarizes some important Ca2+ channels, transporters and Ca2+-ATPases, which have been reported to be altered in human cancer patients. It discusses the current research effort toward evaluation of the blockers, inhibitors or regulators for Ca2+ channels/transporters or Ca2+-ATPase pumps as anti-cancer drugs. This review is also aimed to stimulate interest in, and support for research into the understanding of cellular mechanisms underlying the regulation of Ca2+ signaling in different cancer cells, and to search for novel therapies to cure these malignancies by targeting Ca2+ channels or transporters.

Abstract
Endothelial barrier function is tightly regulated by plasma membrane receptors and is crucial for tissue fluid homeostasis; its dysfunction causes disease, including sepsis and inflammation. The ubiquitous activation of Ca2+ signaling upon phospholipase C-coupled receptor ligation leads quite naturally to the assumption that Ca2+ signaling is required for receptor-regulated endothelial barrier function. This widespread hypothesis draws analogy from smooth muscle and proposes the requirement of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR)-generated Ca2+ signaling in activating the endothelial contractile apparatus and generating interendothelial gaps. Notwithstanding endothelia being non-excitable in nature, the hypothesis of Ca2+-induced endothelial contraction has been invoked to explain actions of GPCR agonists that either disrupt or stabilize endothelial barrier function. Here, we challenge this correlative hypothesis by showing a lack of causal link between GPCR-generated Ca2+ signaling and changes in human microvascular endothelial barrier function. We used three endogenous GPCR agonists: thrombin and histamine, which disrupt endothelial barrier function, and sphingosine-1-phosphate, which stabilizes barrier function. The qualitatively different effects of these three agonists on endothelial barrier function occur independently of Ca2+ entry through the ubiquitous store-operated Ca2+ entry channel Orai1, global Ca2+ entry across the plasma membrane, and Ca2+ release from internal stores. However, disruption of endothelial barrier function by thrombin and histamine requires the Ca2+ sensor stromal interacting molecule-1 (STIM1), whereas sphingosine-1-phosphate-mediated enhancement of endothelial barrier function occurs independently of STIM1. We conclude that although STIM1 is required for GPCR-mediated disruption of barrier function, a causal link between GPCR-induced cytoplasmic Ca2+ increases and acute changes in barrier function is missing. Thus, the cytosolic Ca2+-induced endothelial contraction is a cum hoc fallacy that should be abandoned.

Abstract
Tip growth of pollen tubes and root hairs of plants is oscillatory and orchestrated by tip-focussed variations of cytosolic free calcium ([Ca(2+)]cyt). Hyphae of filamentous fungi are also tubular tip-growing cells, and components of the Ca(2+) signalling machinery, such as Ca(2+) channels and Ca(2+) sensors, are known to be important for fungal growth. In this study, we addressed the questions if tip-focussed [Ca(2+)]cyt transients govern hyphal and whole-colony growth in the maize pathogen Colletotrichum graminicola, and whether colony-wide [Ca(2+)]cyt dynamics rely on external Ca(2+) or internal Ca(2+) stores. Ratiometric fluorescence microscopy of individual hyphae expressing the Ca(2+) reporter Yellow Cameleon 3.6 revealed that Ca(2+) spikes in hyphal tips precede the re-initiation of growth after wounding. Tip-focussed [Ca(2+)]cyt spikes were also observed in undisturbed growing hyphae. They occurred not regularly and at a higher rate in hyphae growing at a medium-glass interface than in those growing on an agar surface. Hyphal tip growth was non-pulsatile, and growth speed was not correlated with the rate of spike occurrence. A possible relationship of [Ca(2+)]cyt spike generation and growth of whole colonies was assessed by using a codon-optimized version of the luminescent Ca(2+) reporter Aequorin. Depletion of extracellular free Ca(2+) abolished [Ca(2+)]cyt spikes nearly completely, but had only a modest effect on colony growth. In a pharmacological survey, some inhibitors targeting Ca(2+) influx or release from internal stores repressed growth strongly. However, although some of those inhibitors also affected [Ca(2+)]cyt spike generation, the effects on both parameters were not correlated. Collectively, the results indicate that tip growth of C. graminicola is non-pulsatile and not mechanistically linked to tip-focused or global [Ca(2+)]cyt spikes, which are likely a response to micro-environmental parameters, such as the physical properties of the growth surface.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) migration is regulated by cytoskeletal remodeling as well as by certain transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, nonselective cation channels that modulate calcium influx. Proper function of multiple subfamily C TRP (TRPC) channels requires the scaffolding protein Homer 1, which associates with the actin-binding protein Drebrin. We found that SMC Drebrin expression is upregulated in atherosclerosis and in response to injury and investigated whether Drebrin inhibits SMC activation, either through regulation of TRP channel function via Homer or through a direct effect on the actin cytoskeleton. APPROACH AND RESULTS Wild-type (WT) and congenic Dbn(-/+) mice were subjected to wire-mediated carotid endothelial denudation. Subsequent neointimal hyperplasia was 2.4±0.3-fold greater in Dbn(-/+) than in WT mice. Levels of globular actin were equivalent in Dbn(-/+) and WT SMCs, but there was a 2.4±0.5-fold decrease in filamentous actin in Dbn(-/+) SMCs compared with WT. Filamentous actin was restored to WT levels in Dbn(-/+) SMCs by adenoviral-mediated rescue expression of Drebrin. Compared with WT SMCs, Dbn(-/+) SMCs exhibited increased TRP channel activity in response to platelet-derived growth factor, increased migration assessed in Boyden chambers, and increased proliferation. Enhanced TRP channel activity and migration in Dbn(-/+) SMCs were normalized to WT levels by rescue expression of not only WT Drebrin but also a mutant Drebrin isoform that binds actin but fails to bind Homer. CONCLUSIONS Drebrin reduces SMC activation through its interaction with the actin cytoskeleton but independently of its interaction with Homer scaffolds.

Abstract
Orai (Orai1, Orai2, and Orai3) proteins form a family of highly Ca(2+)-selective plasma membrane channels that are regulated by stromal-interacting molecules (STIM1 and STIM2); STIM proteins are Ca(2+) sensors located in the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum. STIM and Orai proteins are expressed in vascular and airway smooth muscle and constitute the molecular components of the ubiquitous store-operated Ca(2+) entry pathway that mediate the Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) current. STIM/Orai proteins also encode store-independent Ca(2+) entry pathways in smooth muscle. Altered expression and function of STIM/Orai proteins have been linked to vascular and airway pathologies, including restenosis, hypertension, and atopic asthma. In this review we discuss our current understanding of Orai proteins and the store-dependent and -independent signaling pathways mediated by these proteins in vascular and airway smooth muscle. We also discuss the current studies linking altered expression and function of Orai proteins with smooth muscle-related pathologies.

Abstract
As an innate defense mechanism, macrophages produce reactive oxygen species that weaken pathogens and serve as secondary messengers involved in immune function. The Gram-negative bacterium Francisella tularensis utilizes its antioxidant armature to limit the host immune response, but the mechanism behind this suppression is not defined. Here we establish that F. tularensis limits Ca(2+) entry in macrophages, thereby limiting actin reorganization and IL-6 production in a redox-dependent fashion. Wild type (live vaccine strain) or catalase-deficient F. tularensis (ΔkatG) show distinct profiles in their H2O2 scavenging rates, 1 and 0.015 pm/s, respectively. Murine alveolar macrophages infected with ΔkatG display abnormally high basal intracellular Ca(2+) concentration that did not increase further in response to H2O2. Additionally, ΔkatG-infected macrophages displayed limited Ca(2+) influx in response to ionomycin, as a result of ionophore H2O2 sensitivity. Exogenously added H2O2 or H2O2 generated by ΔkatG likely oxidizes ionomycin and alters its ability to transport Ca(2+). Basal increases in cytosolic Ca(2+) and insensitivity to H2O2-mediated Ca(2+) entry in ΔkatG-infected cells are reversed by the Ca(2+) channel inhibitors 2-aminoethyl diphenylborinate and SKF-96365. 2-Aminoethyl diphenylborinate but not SKF-96365 abrogated ΔkatG-dependent increases in macrophage actin remodeling and IL-6 secretion, suggesting a role for H2O2-mediated Ca(2+) entry through the transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) channel in macrophages. Indeed, increases in basal Ca(2+), actin polymerization, and IL-6 production are reversed in TRPM2-null macrophages infected with ΔkatG. Together, our findings provide compelling evidence that F. tularensis catalase restricts reactive oxygen species to temper macrophage TRPM2-mediated Ca(2+) signaling and limit host immune function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Ca(2+) influx is important for cell cycle progression, but the mechanisms involved seem to vary. We investigated the potential roles of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels and store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE)-related molecules STIM (stromal interaction molecule)/Orai in the cell cycle progression of rat bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs), a reliable therapeutic resource for regenerative medicine. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH PCR and immunoblot analyses were used to examine mRNA and protein levels, fluorescence imaging and patch clamping for Ca(2+) influx and membrane potential measurements, and flow cytometry for cell cycle analysis. KEY RESULTS Cell cycle synchronization of BMSCs revealed S phase-specific enhancement of TRPC1, STIM and Orai mRNA and protein expression. In contrast, TRPC6 expression decreased in the S phase and increased in the G1 phase. Resting membrane potential (RMP) of BMSCs was most negative and positive in the S and G1 phases, respectively, and was accompanied by an enhancement and attenuation of SOCE respectively. Chemically depolarizing/hyperpolarizing the membrane erased these differences in SOCE magnitude during the cell cycle. siRNA knockdown of TRPC6 produced a negative shift in RMP, increased SOCE and caused redistribution of BMSCs with increased populations in the S and G2 /M phases and accumulation of cyclins A2 and B1. A low concentration of Gd(3+) (1 μM) suppressed BMSC proliferation at its concentration to inhibit SOC channels relatively specifically. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS TRPC6, by changing the membrane potential, plays a pivotal role in controlling the SOCE magnitude, which is critical for cell cycle progression of BMSCs. This finding provides a new therapeutic strategy for regulating BMSC proliferation.

Abstract
Radiation therapy for variety of human solid tumors utilizes mechanism of cell death after DNA damage caused by radiation. In response to DNA damage, cytochrome c was released from mitochondria by activation of pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins, and then elicits massive Ca(2+) release from the ER that lead to cell death. It was also suggested that irradiation may cause the deregulation of Ca(2+) homeostasis and trigger programmed cell death and regulate death specific enzymes. Thus, in this study, we investigated how cellular Ca(2+) metabolism in RKO cells, in comparison to radiation-resistant A549 cells, was altered by gamma (γ)-irradiation. In irradiated RKO cells, Ca(2+) influx via activation of NCX reverse mode was enhanced and a decline of [Ca(2+)]i via forward mode was accelerated. The amount of Ca(2+) released from the ER in RKO cells by the activation of IP3 receptor was also enhanced by irradiation. An increase in [Ca(2+)]i via SOCI was enhanced in irradiated RKO cells, while that in A549 cells was depressed. These results suggest that γ-irradiation elicits enhancement of cellular Ca(2+) metabolism in radiation-sensitive RKO cells yielding programmed cell death.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential canonical type 3 (TRPC3) channels are non-selective cation channels and regulate intracellular Ca2+ concentration. We examined the role of TRPC3 channels in agonist-, membrane depolarization (high K+)-, and mechanical (pressure)-induced vasoconstriction and vasorelaxation in mouse mesenteric arteries. Vasoconstriction and vasorelaxation of endothelial cells intact mesenteric arteries were measured in TRPC3 wild-type (WT) and knockout (KO) mice. Calcium concentration ([Ca2+]) was measured in isolated arteries from TRPC3 WT and KO mice as well as in the mouse endothelial cell line bEnd.3. Nitric oxide (NO) production and nitrate/nitrite concentrations were also measured in TRPC3 WT and KO mice. Phenylephrine-induced vasoconstriction was reduced in TRPC3 KO mice when compared to that of WT mice, but neither high K+- nor pressure-induced vasoconstriction was altered in TRPC3 KO mice. Acetylcholine-induced vasorelaxation was inhibited in TRPC3 KO mice and by the selective TRPC3 blocker pyrazole-3. Acetylcholine blocked the phenylephrine-induced increase in Ca2+ ratio and then relaxation in TRPC3 WT mice but had little effect on those outcomes in KO mice. Acetylcholine evoked a Ca2+ increase in endothelial cells, which was inhibited by pyrazole-3. Acetylcholine induced increased NO release in TRPC3 WT mice, but not in KO mice. Acetylcholine also increased the nitrate/nitrite concentration in TRPC3 WT mice, but not in KO mice. The present study directly demonstrated that the TRPC3 channel is involved in agonist-induced vasoconstriction and plays important role in NO-mediated vasorelaxation of intact mesenteric arteries.

Characterization of novel store-operated calcium entry effectors. BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA-MOLECULAR CELL RESEARCH 2014; 1843:2341-7. [PMID: 24657813 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbamcr.2014.03.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2013] [Revised: 02/14/2014] [Accepted: 03/12/2014] [Indexed: 01/29/2023]
Abstract
2-Aminoethyl diphenylborinate (2-APB) is a well-known effector of the store-operated Ca(2+) entry of several cell types such as immune cells, platelets and smooth muscle cells. 2-APB has a dual effect: potentiation at 1-5μM and inhibition at >30μM. Unfortunately, it is also able to modify the activity of other Ca(2+) transporters and, thus, cannot be used as a therapeutic tool to control the leukocyte activity in diseases like inflammation. Previously, we have shown that SOCE potentiation by 2-APB depends on the presence of the central boron-oxygen core (BOC) and that the phenyl groups determine the sensitivity of the molecule to inhibit and/or potentiate the SOCE. We hypothesized that by modifying the two phenyl groups of 2-APB, we could identify more efficient and specific analogues. In fact, the addition of methoxyl groups to one phenyl group greatly decreased the potentiation ability without any significant effect on the inhibition. Surprisingly, when the free rotation of the two phenyl groups was blocked by a new hydrocarbon bridge, the BOC was no longer able to potentiate. Furthermore, larger aryl groups than phenyl also impaired the activity of the BOC. Thus, the potentiation site in the Ca(2+) channel is not accessible by the BOC when the lateral groups are too large or unable to freely rotate. However, these molecules are potent inhibitors of store-operated calcium entry with affinities below 1μM, and they can block the activation of the Jurkat T cells. Thus, it is possible to characterize 2-APB analogues with different properties that could be the first step in the discovery of new immunomodulators.

Abstract
The present study was conducted to determine whether and how store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) in glomerular mesangial cells (MCs) was altered by high glucose (HG) and diabetes. Human MCs were treated with either normal glucose or HG for different time periods. Cyclopiazonic acid-induced SOCE was significantly greater in the MCs with 7-day HG treatment and the response was completely abolished by GSK-7975A, a selective inhibitor of store-operated Ca(2+) channels. Similarly, the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-induced store-operated Ca(2+) currents were significantly enhanced in the MCs treated with HG for 7 days, and the enhanced response was abolished by both GSK-7975A and La(3+). In contrast, receptor-operated Ca(2+) entry in MCs was significantly reduced by HG treatment. Western blotting showed that HG increased the expression levels of STIM1 and Orai1 in cultured MCs. A significant HG effect occurred at a concentration as low as 10 mM, but required a minimum of 7 days. The HG effect in cultured MCs was recapitulated in renal glomeruli/cortex of both type I and II diabetic rats. Furthermore, quantitative real-time RT-PCR revealed that a 6-day HG treatment significantly increased the mRNA expression level of STIM1. However, the expressions of STIM2 and Orai1 transcripts were not affected by HG. Taken together, these results suggest that HG/diabetes enhanced SOCE in MCs by increasing STIM1/Orai1 protein expressions. HG upregulates STIM1 by promoting its transcription but increases Orai1 protein through a posttranscriptional mechanism.

Abstract
Cellular mechanisms for antinociception produced by oxytocin in the spinal dorsal horn have not yet been investigated thoroughly. We examined how oxytocin affects synaptic transmission in substantia gelatinosa neurons, which play a pivotal role in regulating nociceptive transmission, by applying the whole-cell patch-clamp technique to the substantia gelatinosa neurons of adult rat spinal cord slices. Bath-applied oxytocin did not affect glutamatergic spontaneous, monosynaptically-evoked primary-afferent Aδ-fiber and C-fiber excitatory transmissions. On the other hand, oxytocin produced an inward current at −70 mV and enhanced GABAergic and glycinergic spontaneous inhibitory transmissions. These activities were repeated with a slow recovery from desensitization, concentration-dependent and mimicked by oxytocin-receptor agonist. The oxytocin current was inhibited by oxytocin-receptor antagonist, intracellular GDPβS, U-73122, 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate, but not dantrolene, chelerythrine, dibutyryl cyclic-AMP, CNQX, Ca2+-free and tetrodotoxin, while the spontaneous inhibitory transmission enhancements were depressed by tetrodotoxin. Current-voltage relation for the oxytocin current reversed at negative potentials more than the equilibrium potential for K+, or around 0 mV. The oxytocin current was depressed in high-K+, low-Na+ or Ba2+-containing solution. Vasopressin V1A-receptor antagonist inhibited the oxytocin current, but there was no correlation in amplitude between a vasopressin-receptor agonist [Arg8]vasopressin and oxytocin responses. It is concluded that oxytocin produces a membrane depolarization mediated by oxytocin but not vasopressin-V1A receptors, which increases neuronal activity, resulting in the enhancement of inhibitory transmission, a possible mechanism for antinociception. This depolarization is due to a change in membrane permeabilities to K+ and/or Na+, which is possibly mediated by phospholipase C and inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate-induced Ca2+-release.

Abstract
Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) are the pacemakers of the gastrointestinal tract, and transient receptor potential melastatin type 7 (TRPM7) and Ca(2+) activated Cl(-) channels (ANO1) are candidate the generators of pacemaker potentials in ICCs. The effects of D-erythro-sphingosine (SPH) and structural analogues of SPH, that is, N,N-dimethyl-Derythro-sphingosine (N,N-DMS), FTY720, and FTY720-P on the pacemaking activities of ICCs were examined using the whole cell patch clamp technique. SPH, N,N-DMS, and FTY720 decreased the amplitudes of pacemaker potentials in ICC clusters, but resting membrane potentials displayed little change. Also, perfusing SPH, N,N-DMS, or FTY720 in the bath reduced both inward and outward TRPM7-like currents in single ICCs, and inhibited ANO1 currents. The another structural analogue of SPH, FTY720-P was ineffective at the pacemaker potentials in ICC clusters and the TRPM7-like currents in single ICCs. Furthermore, FTY720-P had no effect on ANO1. These results suggest that SPH, N,N-DMS, and FTY720 modulate the pacemaker activities of ICCs, and that TRPM7 and ANO1 channels affect intestinal motility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1) channel has been proved to be a molecular integrator of inflammatory pain sensation. 2-Aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB) and its analogs have been noticed as attractive candidates for the development of a selective TRPV1 agonist and/or antagonist. However, selectivity and effectiveness, species dependence, and the binding site(s) of 2-APB on TRPV1 channel protein remain controversial. METHODS The present study aimed to characterize acting sites of 2-APB on heterologously expressed rat TRPV1 (rTRPV1) channels in HEK 293 cells. Rat TRPV1 currents were recorded by cell-free, excised patch clamp techniques. RESULTS In inside-out and outside-out patch modes, 2-APB applied either side of the membrane dose-dependently activated rTRPV1 channels. 2-APB dose-dependently potentiated rTRPV1 currents, that activated by capsaicin, protons, or noxious heat. 2-APB potentiated the capsaicin-activated rTRPV1 current from both side of the patch membrane. A structural analogue of 2-APB, diphenylboronic anhydride, showed the same potentiation effect on the capsaicin-activated rTRPV1 current. CONCLUSION It is suggested that 2-APB directly opens rTRPV1 channels from both sides of the membrane and potentiates the opening of channels by inflammatory stimuli.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca(2+)) is a ubiquitous second messenger that regulates a plethora of physiological functions. Deregulation of calcium homeostasis has been reported in a wide variety of pathological conditions including cardiovascular disorders, cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. One of the most ubiquitous pathways involved in regulated Ca(2+) influx into cells is the store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) pathway. In 2006, Orai1 was identified as the channel protein that mediates SOCE in immune cells. Orai1 has two mammalian homologs, Orai2 and Orai3. Although Orai1 has been the most widely studied Orai isoform, Orai3 has recently received significant attention. Under native conditions, Orai3 was demonstrated to be an important component of store-independent arachidonate-regulated Ca(2+) (ARC) entry in HEK293 cells, and more recently of a store-independent leukotrieneC4-regulated Ca(2+) (LRC) entry pathway in vascular smooth muscle cells. Recent studies have shown upregulation of Orai3 in estrogen receptor-expressing breast cancers and a critical role for Orai3 in breast cancer development in immune-compromised mice. Orai3 upregulation was also shown to contribute to vascular smooth muscle remodeling and neointimal hyperplasia caused by vascular injury. Furthermore, Orai3 has been shown to contribute to proliferation of effector T-lymphocytes under oxidative stress. In this review, we will discuss the role of Orai3 in reported pathophysiological conditions and will contribute ideas on the potential role of Orai3 in native Ca(2+) signaling pathways and human disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channels, a subfamily of store-operated channels, play an essential role in various diseases such as immune disorders and allergic responses. OBJECTIVE The successful treatment of these diseases requires the identification of specific inhibitors. So far, a variety of chemical compounds blocking CRAC have been identified; however, they have all turned out to be less specific. Recently two proteins, STIM1 and ORAI1, have been identified as the essential components that fully reconstitute CRAC currents with a similar biophysical fingerprint. METHOD These two proteins and their activation process represent direct targets for the application of specific CRAC inhibitors. RESULTS/CONCLUSION For drug development, fluorescence microscopy adaptable for high-throughput screening will provide a powerful assay to mechanistically identify potential CRAC inhibitors that act on various stages within the STIM1/ORAI1 activation pathway visualized by fluorescent-tagged proteins.

Different uptake of gentamicin through TRPV1 and TRPV4 channels determines cochlear hair cell vulnerability. Exp Mol Med 2013; 45:e12.

Abstract
Hair cells at the base of the cochlea appear to be more susceptible to damage by the aminoglycoside gentamicin than those at the apex. However, the mechanism of base-to-apex gradient ototoxicity by gentamicin remains to be elucidated. We report here that gentamicin caused rodent cochlear hair cell damages in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Hair cells at the basal turn were more vulnerable to gentamicin than those at the apical turn. Gentamicin-conjugated Texas Red (GTTR) uptake was predominant in basal turn hair cells in neonatal rats. Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) and 4 (TRPV4) expression was confirmed in the cuticular plate, stereocilia and hair cell body of inner hair cells and outer hair cells. The involvement of TRPV1 and TRPV4 in gentamicin trafficking of hair cells was confirmed by exogenous calcium treatment and TRPV inhibitors, including gadolinium and ruthenium red, which resulted in markedly inhibited GTTR uptake and gentamicin-induced hair cell damage in rodent and zebrafish ototoxic model systems. These results indicate that the cytotoxic vulnerability of cochlear hair cells in the basal turn to gentamicin may depend on effective uptake of the drug, which was, in part, mediated by the TRPV1 and TRPV4 proteins.
