Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2024; 17:440. [PMID: 38675401 PMCID: PMC11053947 DOI: 10.3390/ph17040440] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2024] [Revised: 03/17/2024] [Accepted: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Exposure to hypoxia results in the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). An increase in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) is a major trigger for pulmonary vasoconstriction and proliferation. This study investigated the mechanism by which KMUP-1, a xanthine derivative with phosphodiesterase inhibitory activity, inhibits hypoxia-induced canonical transient receptor potential channel 1 (TRPC1) protein overexpression and regulates [Ca2+]i through store-operated calcium channels (SOCs). Ex vivo PASMCs were cultured from Sprague-Dawley rats in a modular incubator chamber under 1% O2/5% CO2 for 24 h to elucidate TRPC1 overexpression and observe the Ca2+ release and entry. KMUP-1 (1 μM) inhibited hypoxia-induced TRPC family protein encoded for SOC overexpression, particularly TRPC1. KMUP-1 inhibition of TRPC1 protein was restored by the protein kinase G (PKG) inhibitor KT5823 (1 μM) and the protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor KT5720 (1 μM). KMUP-1 attenuated protein kinase C (PKC) activator phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA, 1 μM)-upregulated TRPC1. We suggest that the effects of KMUP-1 on TRPC1 might involve activating the cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)/PKG and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)/PKA pathways and inhibiting the PKC pathway. We also used Fura 2-acetoxymethyl ester (Fura 2-AM, 5 μM) to measure the stored calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and calcium entry through SOCs in hypoxic PASMCs under treatment with thapsigargin (1 μM) and nifedipine (5 μM). In hypoxic conditions, store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) activity was enhanced in PASMCs, and KMUP-1 diminished this activity. In conclusion, KMUP-1 inhibited the expression of TRPC1 protein and the activity of SOC-mediated Ca2+ entry upon SR Ca2+ depletion in hypoxic PASMCs.

Abstract
In non-excitable cells, Orai proteins represent the main channel for Store-Operated Calcium Entry (SOCE), and also mediate various store-independent Calcium Entry (SICE) pathways. Deregulation of these pathways contribute to increased tumor cell proliferation, migration, metastasis, and angiogenesis. Among Orais, Orai1 is an attractive therapeutic target explaining the development of specific modulators. Therapeutic trials using Orai1 channel inhibitors have been evaluated for treating diverse diseases such as psoriasis and acute pancreatitis, and emerging data suggest that Orai1 channel modulators may be beneficial for cancer treatment. This review discusses herein the importance of Orai1 channel modulators as potential therapeutic tools and the added value of these modulators for treating cancer.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a sleep breathing disorder featured by chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH), is associated with pulmonary hypertension (PH). Rats exposed to CIH develop systemic and lung oxidative stress, pulmonary vascular remodeling, and PH and overexpress Stim-activated TRPC-ORAI channels (STOC) in the lung. Previously, we demonstrated that 2-aminoethyl-diphenylborinate (2-APB)-treatment, a STOC-blocker, prevents PH and the overexpression of STOC induced by CIH. However, 2-APB did not prevent systemic and pulmonary oxidative stress. Accordingly, we hypothesize that the contribution of STOC in the development of PH induced by CIH is independent of oxidative stress. We measured the correlation between right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) and lung malondialdehyde (MDA) with the gene expression of STOC and morphological parameters in the lung from control, CIH-treated, and 2-APB-treated rats. We found correlations between RVSP and increased medial layer and STOC pulmonary levels. 2-APB-treated rats showed a correlation between RVSP and the medial layer thickness, α-actin-ir, and STOC, whereas RVSP did not correlate with MDA levels in CIH and 2-APB-treated rats. CIH rats showed correlations between lung MDA levels and the gene expression of TRPC1 and TRPC4. These results suggest that STOC channels play a key role in developing CIH-induced PH that is independent from lung oxidative stress.

The Action of 2-Aminoethyldiphenyl Borinate on the Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension and Remodeling of High-Altitude Hypoxemic Lambs. Front Physiol 2022; 12:765281.

Abstract
Calcium signaling is key for the contraction, differentiation, and proliferation of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells. Furthermore, calcium influx through store-operated channels (SOCs) is particularly important in the vasoconstrictor response to hypoxia. Previously, we found a decrease in pulmonary hypertension and remodeling in normoxic newborn lambs partially gestated under chronic hypoxia, when treated with 2-aminoethyldiphenyl borinate (2-APB), a non-specific SOC blocker. However, the effects of 2-APB are unknown in neonates completely gestated, born, and raised under environmental hypoxia. Accordingly, we studied the effects of 2-APB-treatment on the cardiopulmonary variables in lambs under chronic hypobaric hypoxia. Experiments were done in nine newborn lambs gestated, born, and raised in high altitude (3,600 m): five animals were treated with 2-APB [intravenous (i.v.) 10 mg kg–1] for 10 days, while other four animals received vehicle. During the treatment, cardiopulmonary variables were measured daily, and these were also evaluated during an acute episode of superimposed hypoxia, 1 day after the end of the treatment. Furthermore, pulmonary vascular remodeling was assessed by histological analysis 2 days after the end of the treatment. Basal cardiac output and mean systemic arterial pressure (SAP) and resistance from 2-APB- and vehicle-treated lambs did not differ along with the treatment. Mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) decreased after the first day of 2-APB treatment and remained lower than the vehicle-treated group until the third day, and during the fifth, sixth, and ninth day of treatment. The net mPAP increase in response to acute hypoxia did not change, but the pressure area under the curve (AUC) during hypoxia was slightly lower in 2-APB-treated lambs than in vehicle-treated lambs. Moreover, the 2-APB treatment decreased the pulmonary arterial wall thickness and the α-actin immunoreactivity and increased the luminal area with no changes in the vascular density. Our findings show that 2-APB treatment partially reduced the contractile hypoxic response and reverted the pulmonary vascular remodeling, but this is not enough to normalize the pulmonary hemodynamics in chronically hypoxic newborn lambs.

Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a severe and multifactorial disease. PAH pathogenesis mostly involves pulmonary arterial endothelial and pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cell (PASMC) dysfunction, leading to alterations in pulmonary arterial tone and distal pulmonary vessel obstruction and remodeling. Unfortunately, current PAH therapies are not curative, and therapeutic approaches mostly target endothelial dysfunction, while PASMC dysfunction is under investigation. In PAH, modifications in intracellular Ca2+ homoeostasis could partly explain PASMC dysfunction. One of the most crucial actors regulating Ca2+ homeostasis is store-operated Ca2+ channels, which mediate store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE). This review focuses on the main actors of SOCE in human and experimental PASMC, their contribution to PAH pathogenesis, and their therapeutic potential in PAH.

Ion channels as convergence points in the pathology of pulmonary arterial hypertension. Biochem Soc Trans 2021; 49:1855-1865.

Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a fatal disease of the cardiopulmonary system that lacks curative treatments. The main pathological event in PAH is elevated vascular resistance in the pulmonary circulation, caused by abnormal vasoconstriction and vascular remodelling. Ion channels are key determinants of vascular smooth muscle tone and homeostasis, and four PAH channelopathies (KCNK3, ABCC8, KCNA5, TRPC6) have been identified so far. However, the contribution of ion channels in other forms of PAH, which account for the majority of PAH patients, has been less well characterised. Here we reason that a variety of triggers of PAH (e.g. BMPR2 mutations, hypoxia, anorectic drugs) that impact channel function may contribute to the onset of the disease. We review the molecular mechanisms by which these ‘extrinsic’ factors converge on ion channels and provoke their dysregulation to promote the development of PAH. Ion channels of the pulmonary vasculature are therefore promising therapeutic targets because of the modulation they provide to both vasomotor tone and proliferation of arterial smooth muscle cells.

Abstract
Chronic hypoxia is a common cause of pulmonary hypertension, preeclampsia, and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). The molecular mechanisms underlying these diseases are not completely understood. Chronic hypoxia may induce the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in mitochondria, promote endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and result in the integrated stress response (ISR) in the pulmonary artery and uteroplacental tissues. Numerous studies have implicated hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), oxidative stress, and ER stress/unfolded protein response (UPR) in the development of pulmonary hypertension, preeclampsia and IUGR. This review highlights the roles of HIFs, mitochondria-derived ROS and UPR, as well as their interplay, in the pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension and preeclampsia, and their implications in drug development.

Abstract
Codonopsis lanceolata has been widely used as an anti-inflammatory and anti-lipogenic agent in traditional medicine. Recently, C. lanceolata was reported to prevent hypertension by improving vascular function. This study evaluated the effects of C. lanceolata and its major component lancemaside A on cytosolic calcium concentration in vascular endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells. Cytosolic calcium concentration was measured using fura-2 AM fluorescence. C. lanceolata or lancemaside A increased the cytosolic calcium concentration by releasing Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum and sarcoplasmic reticulum and by Ca2+ entry into endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells from extracellular sources. The C. lanceolata- and lancemaside A-induced cytosolic calcium concentration increases were significantly inhibited by lanthanum, an inhibitor of non-selective cation channels, in both endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells. Moreover, C. lanceolata and lancemaside A significantly inhibited store-operated Ca2+ entry under pathological extracellular Ca2+ levels. In Ca2+-free extracellular fluid, increases in the cytosolic calcium concentration induced by C. lanceolata or lancemaside A were significantly inhibited by U73122, an inhibitor of phospholipase C, and 2-APB, an inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor antagonist. In addition, dantrolene treatment, which inhibits Ca2+ release through ryanodine receptor channels, also inhibited C. lanceolata- or lancemaside A-induced increases in the cytosolic calcium concentration through the phospholipase C/inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate pathway. These results suggest that C. lanceolata and lancemaside A increase the cytosolic calcium concentration through the non-selective cation channels and phospholipase C/inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate pathways under physiological conditions and inhibit store-operated Ca2+ entry under pathological conditions in endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells. C. lanceolata or lancemaside A can protect endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells by maintaining cytosolic calcium concentration homeostasis, suggesting possible applications for these materials in diets for preventing vascular damage.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a breathing disorder featured by chronic intermittent
hypoxia (CIH) is associated with pulmonary hypertension (PH). Rodents exposed to CIH
develop pulmonary vascular remodeling and PH, but the pathogenic mechanisms are not well
known. Overexpression of Stim-activated Transient Receptor Potential Channels (TRPC) and
Calcium Release-Activated Calcium Channel Protein (ORAI) TRPC-ORAI Ca2+
channels (STOC) has been involved in pulmonary vascular remodeling and PH in sustained
hypoxia. However, it is not known if CIH may change STOC levels. Accordingly, we studied
the effects of CIH on the expression of STOC subunits in the lung and if these changes
paralleled the progression of the vascular pulmonary remodeling and PH in a preclinical
model of OSA. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (∼200 g) were exposed to CIH (5%O2, 12
times/h for 8 h) for 14, 21, and 28 days. We measured right ventricular systolic pressure
(RVSP), cardiac morphometry with MRI, pulmonary vascular remodeling, and wire-myographic
arterial responses to KCl and endothelin-1 (ET-1). Pulmonary RNA and protein STOC levels
of TRPC1, TRPC4, TRPC6, ORAI 1, ORAI 2, and STIM1 subunits were measured by qPCR and
western blot, and results were compared with age-matched controls. CIH elicited a
progressive increase of RVSP and vascular contractile responses to KCl and ET-1, leading
to vascular remodeling and augmented right ventricular ejection fraction, which was
significant at 28 days of CIH. The levels of TRPC1, TRPC4, TRPC 6, ORAI 1, and STIM 1
channels increased following CIH, and some of them paralleled morphologic and functional
changes. Our findings show that CIH increased pulmonary STOC expression, paralleling
vascular remodeling and PH.

Abstract
Elevated resistance of pulmonary circulation after chronic hypoxia exposure leads to pulmonary hypertension. Contributing to this pathological process is enhanced pulmonary vasoconstriction through both calcium-dependent and calcium sensitization mechanisms. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), as a result of increased enzymatic production and/or decreased scavenging, participate in augmentation of pulmonary arterial constriction by potentiating calcium influx as well as activation of myofilament sensitization, therefore mediating the development of pulmonary hypertension. Here, we review the effects of chronic hypoxia on sources of ROS within the pulmonary vasculature including NADPH oxidases, mitochondria, uncoupled endothelial nitric oxide synthase, xanthine oxidase, monoamine oxidases and dysfunctional superoxide dismutases. We also summarize the ROS-induced functional alterations of various Ca2+ and K+ channels involved in regulating Ca2+ influx, and of Rho kinase that is responsible for myofilament Ca2+ sensitivity. A variety of antioxidants have been shown to have beneficial therapeutic effects in animal models of pulmonary hypertension, supporting the role of ROS in the development of pulmonary hypertension. A better understanding of the mechanisms by which ROS enhance vasoconstriction will be useful in evaluating the efficacy of antioxidants for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension.

In some subjects, high-altitude hypobaric hypoxia leads to high-altitude pulmonary
hypertension. The threshold for the diagnosis of high-altitude pulmonary hypertension is a
mean pulmonary artery pressure of 30 mmHg, even though for general pulmonary hypertension
is ≥25 mmHg. High-altitude pulmonary hypertension has been associated with high hematocrit
findings (chronic mountain sickness), and although these are two separate entities, they
have a synergistic effect that should be considered. In recent years, a new condition
associated with high altitude was described in South America named long-term chronic
intermittent hypoxia and has appeared in individuals who commute to work at high altitude
but live and rest at sea level. In this review, we discuss the initial epidemiological
pattern from the early studies done in Chile, the clinical presentation and possible
molecular mechanism and a discussion of the potential management of this condition.

Abstract
The last 20-25 years have seen an explosion of interest in the role of NADPH oxidase (NOX) in cardiovascular function and disease. In vascular smooth muscle and endothelium, NOX generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) that act as second messengers, contributing to the control of normal vascular function. NOX activity is altered in response to a variety of stimuli, including G-protein coupled receptor agonists, growth-factors, perfusion pressure, flow and hypoxia. NOX-derived ROS are involved in smooth muscle constriction, endothelium-dependent relaxation and smooth muscle growth, proliferation and migration, thus contributing to the fine-tuning of blood flow, arterial wall thickness and vascular resistance. Through reversible oxidative modification of target proteins, ROS regulate the activity of protein tyrosine phosphatases, kinases, G proteins, ion channels, cytoskeletal proteins and transcription factors. There is now considerable, but somewhat contradictory evidence that NOX contributes to the pathogenesis of hypertension through oxidative stress. Specific NOX isoforms have been implicated in endothelial dysfunction, hyper-contractility and vascular remodelling in various animal models of hypertension, pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary arterial hypertension, but also have potential protective effects, particularly NOX4. This review explores the multiplicity of NOX function in the healthy vasculature and the evidence for and against targeting NOX for antihypertensive therapy.

Inactivation of carboxyl terminus of Hsc70-interacting protein prevents hypoxia-induced pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells proliferation by reducing intracellular Ca 2+ concentration. Pulm Circ 2019; 9:2045894019875343.

Abstract
Carboxyl terminus of Hsc70-interacting protein (CHIP) is a 35-kDa cytoplasmic protein expressed in human striated muscle, brain, aortic smooth muscle, endothelial cells, and other tissues. Studies have confirmed that CHIP regulates cell growth, apoptosis, cell phenotype, metabolism, neurodegeneration, etc. However, whether CHIP is involved in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell (PASMC) proliferation, a vital contributor to chronic hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension (CHPH), remains unknown. In this study, we first evaluated CHIP expression in the pulmonary arteries (PAs) of CHPH model rats. Subsequently, by silencing CHIP, we investigated the effect of CHIP on hypoxia-induced PASMC proliferation and the underlying mechanism. Our results showed that CHIP expression was upregulated in the PAs of CHPH model rats. Silencing CHIP significantly suppressed the hypoxia-triggered promotion of proliferation, [Ca2+]i, store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE), and some regulators of SOCE such as TRPC1 and TRPC6 in cultured PASMCs. These results indicate that CHIP likely contributes to hypoxia-induced PASMC proliferation by targeting the SOCE-[Ca2+]i pathway through the regulation of TRPC1 and TRPC6 in the PASMCs. In conclusion, the findings of the current study clarify the role of CHIP in hypoxia-induced PASMC proliferation.

Calcium release-activated calcium modulator 1 as a therapeutic target in allergic skin diseases. Life Sci 2019; 228:152-157.

Abstract
Allergic skin disease is the most common skin condition, and considerably affects patients' life quality because of its recurrence and pruritus. Numbers of studies point out that immune cells, including mast cells and T cells, play pathogenic roles in allergic skin diseases, and share similarities in the activation and secretion of cytokines. Calcium Release-Activated Calcium Modulator 1(CRACM1/ORAI1) is a subtype of Ca2+ membrane channel, causing Ca2+ influx into the cells. As a second messenger, Ca2+ is an essential element that regulates immune responses, especially in the development and function of T and B cells. Thus, ORAI1 is considered to participate in allergic diseases. However, the specific mechanism of ORAI1 in skin disorders is still unclear. In order to investigate the roles of ORAI1 in allergic skin disorders, we reviewed the related articles and concluded that ORAI1 could be a potential therapeutic target for allergic skin diseases.

Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterized by pulmonary arterial proliferation and remodeling, resulting in a specific increase in right ventricle systolic pressure (RVSP) and, ultimately right ventricular failure. Recent studies have demonstrated that caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) exerts a protective role in NF-κB-mediated inflammatory diseases. However, the effect of CAPE on PAH remains to be elucidated. In this study, monocrotaline (MCT) was used to establish PAH in rats. Two weeks after the induction of PAH by MCT, CAPE was administrated by intraperitoneal injection once a day for two weeks. Pulmonary hemodynamic measurements and pulmonary artery morphological assessments were examined. Our results showed that administration of CAPE significantly suppressed MCT-induced vascular remodeling by decreasing the HIF-1α expression and PDGF-BB production, and improved in vivo RV systolic performance in rats. Furthermore, CAPE inhibits hypoxia- and PDGF-BB-induced HIF-1α expression by decreasing the activation of the AKT/ERK pathway, which results in the inhibition of human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (hPASMCs) proliferation and prevention of cells resistant to apoptosis. Overall, our data suggest that HIF-1α is regarded as an alternative target for CAPE in addition to NF-κB, and may represent a promising therapeutic agent for the treatment of PAH diseases.

Abstract
Pulmonary hypertension is a complex and fatal disease that lacks treatments. Its pathophysiology involves pulmonary artery hyperreactivity, endothelial dysfunction, wall remodelling, inflammation, and thrombosis, which could all depend on ORAI Ca2+ channels. We review the knowledge about ORAI channels in pulmonary artery and discuss the interest to target them in the treatment of pulmonary hypertension.

Abstract
The pulmonary arteries are exquisitely responsive to oxygen changes. They rapidly and proportionally contract as arterial PO2 decrease, and they relax as arterial PO2 is re-established. The hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) is intrinsic since it does not require neural or endocrine factors, as evidenced in isolated vessels. On the other hand, pulmonary arteries also respond to sustained hypoxia with structural and functional remodeling, involving growth of smooth muscle medial layer and later recruitment of adventitial fibroblasts, secreted mitogens from endothelium and changes in the response to vasoconstrictor and vasodilator stimuli. Hypoxic pulmonary arterial vasoconstriction and remodeling are relevant biological responses both under physiological and pathological conditions, to explain matching between ventilation and perfusion, fetal to neonatal transition of pulmonary circulation and pulmonary artery over-constriction and thickening in pulmonary hypertension. Store operated channels (SOC) and receptor operated channels (ROC) are plasma membrane cationic channels that mediate calcium influx in response to depletion of internal calcium stores or receptor activation, respectively. They are involved in both HPV and pathological remodeling since their pharmacological blockade or genetic suppression of several of the Stim, Orai, TRP, or ASIC proteins in SOC or ROC complexes attenuate the calcium increase, the tension development, the pulmonary artery smooth muscle proliferation, and pulmonary arterial hypertension. In this Mini Review, we discussed the evidence obtained in in vivo animal models, at the level of isolated organ or cells of pulmonary arteries, and we identified and discussed the questions for future research needed to validate these signaling complexes as targets against pulmonary hypertension.

Abstract
Ca2+ signaling, particularly the mechanism via store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) and receptor-operated Ca2+ entry (ROCE), plays a critical role in the development of acute hypoxia-induced pulmonary vasoconstriction and chronic hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that chronic hypoxia differentially regulates the expression of proteins that mediate SOCE and ROCE [stromal interacting molecule (STIM), Orai, and canonical transient receptor potential channel TRPC6] in pulmonary (PASMC) and coronary (CASMC) artery smooth muscle cells. The resting cytosolic [Ca2+] ([Ca2+]cyt) and the stored [Ca2+] in the sarcoplasmic reticulum were not different in CASMC and PASMC. Seahorse measurement showed a similar level of mitochondrial bioenergetics (basal respiration and ATP production) between CASMC and PASMC. Glycolysis was significantly higher in PASMC than in CASMC. The amplitudes of cyclopiazonic acid-induced SOCE and OAG-induced ROCE in CASMC are slightly, but significantly, greater than in PASMC. The frequency and the area under the curve of Ca2+ oscillations induced by ATP and histamine were also larger in CASMC than in PASMC. Na+/Ca2+ exchanger-mediated increases in [Ca2+]cyt did not differ significantly between CASMC and PASMC. The basal protein expression levels of STIM1/2, Orai1/2, and TRPC6 were higher in CASMC than in PASMC, but hypoxia (3% O2 for 72 h) significantly upregulated protein expression levels of STIM1/STIM2, Orai1/Orai2, and TRPC6 and increased the resting [Ca2+]cyt only in PASMC, but not in CASMC. The different response of essential components of store-operated and receptor-operated Ca2+ channels to hypoxia is a unique intrinsic property of PASMC, which is likely one of the important explanations why hypoxia causes pulmonary vasoconstriction and induces pulmonary vascular remodeling, but causes coronary vasodilation.

Abstract
Cysteines are among the least abundant amino acids found in proteins. Due to their unique nucleophilic thiol group, they are able to undergo a broad range of chemical modifications besides their known role in disulfide formation, such as S-sulfenylation (-SOH), S-sulfinylation (-SO(2)H), S-sufonylation (-SO(3)H), S-glutathionylation (-SSG), and S-sulfhydration (-SSH), among others. These posttranslational modifications can be irreversible and act as transitional modifiers or as reversible on-off switches for the function of proteins. Disturbances of the redox homeostasis, for example, in situations of increased oxidative stress, can contribute to a range of diseases. Because Ca2+ signaling mediated by store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) is involved in a plethora of cellular responses, the cross-talk between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and Ca2+ is critical for homeostatic control. Identification of calcium regulatory protein targets of thiol redox modifications is needed to understand their role in biology and disease.
