Abstract
Immune cells-enhanced immunotherapy exhibits unprecedented overall survival-prolongation even curable in some cancer patients. Although so, most of the patients show no response. Tumor microenvironment (TME) where immune cells settle down has multi-faceted influences, but usually creates an immunosuppressive niche that facilitating tumor cells escape from immune attack. The metabolites and malnutrition of TME exert enormous effects on the resident immune cells, but the underlying mechanism is largely unknown. The stromal interaction molecules 2 (STIM2) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) calcium (Ca2+) sensor to maintain Ca2+ homeostasis. Notably, the cytosol STIM2 C-terminus is long with various domains that are available for the combination or/and molecular modification. This distinct structure endows STIM2 with a high susceptibility to numerous permeable physico-chemical molecules or protein interactions. STIM2 and its variants are extensively expressed in various immune cells, especially in T immune cells. STIM2 was reported closely correlated with the function of immune cells via regulating Ca2+ signaling, energy metabolism and cell fitness. Herein, we sum the latest findings on the STIM2 structure, focusing on its distinct characteristics and profound effect on the regulation of Ca2+ homeostasis and multi-talented functionality. We also outline the advancements on the underlying mechanism how STIM2 anomalies influence the function of immune cells and on the turbulent expression or/and amenably modification of STIM2 within the tumor niches. Then we discuss the translation of these researches into antitumor approaches, emphasizing the potential of STIM2 as a therapeutic target for direct inhibition of tumor cells or more activation towards immune cells driving to flare TME. This review is an update on STIM2, aiming to rationalize the potential of STIM2 as a therapeutic target for immunomodulation, engaging immune cells to exert the utmost anti-tumor effect.

Romero-Campos HE, Dupont G, González-Vélez V. STIM1 regulates pancreatic β-cell behaviour: A modelling study. Biosystems 2024; 237:105138. [PMID: 38340977 DOI: 10.1016/j.biosystems.2024.105138] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2023] [Revised: 01/12/2024] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024]
Abstract
Pancreatic β-cells are equipped with the molecular machinery allowing them to respond to high glucose levels in the form of electrical activity and Ca2+ oscillations. These oscillations drive insulin secretion. Two key ionic mechanisms involved in this response are the Store-Operated Current and the current through ATP-dependent K+ channels. Both currents have been shown to be regulated by the protein STIM1, but this dual regulation by STIM1 has not been studied before. In this paper, we use mathematical modelling to gain insight into the role of STIM1 in the β-cell response. We extended a previous β-cell model to include the dynamics of STIM1 and described the dependence of the ATP-dependent K+ current on STIM1. Our simulations suggest that the total concentration of STIM1 modifies the bursting frequency, the burst duration and the intracellular Ca2+ levels. These results are in good agreement with experimental reports, and the contribution of the studied currents to electrical activity and Ca2+ dynamics is discussed. The model predicts that in the absence of STIM1 the excitability of the plasma membrane increases and that the glucose threshold for electrical activity is shifted to lower concentrations. These computational predictions may be related to impaired insulin secretion under conditions of reduced STIM1 in the diabetic state.

Abstract
Moderate coolness is sensed by TRPM8 ion channels in peripheral sensory nerves, but the mechanism by which noxious cold is detected remains elusive. Here, we show that somatosensory and sympathetic neurons express two distinct mechanisms to detect noxious cold. In the first, inhibition by cold of a background outward current causes membrane depolarization that activates an inward current through voltage-dependent calcium (CaV ) channels. A second cold-activated mechanism is independent of membrane voltage, is inhibited by blockers of ORAI ion channels and by downregulation of STIM1, and is recapitulated in HEK293 cells by co-expression of ORAI1 and STIM1. Using total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy we found that cold causes STIM1 to aggregate with and activate ORAI1 ion channels, in a mechanism similar to that underlying store-operated calcium entry (SOCE), but directly activated by cold and not by emptying of calcium stores. This novel mechanism may explain the phenomenon of cold-induced vasodilation (CIVD), in which extreme cold increases blood flow in order to preserve the integrity of peripheral tissues.

MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 27:molecules27123950. [PMID: 35745070 PMCID: PMC9229827 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27123950] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2022] [Revised: 06/06/2022] [Accepted: 06/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Our previous findings have shown that the chlorophyllides composites have anticancer activities to breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231). In the present study, microarray gene expression profiling was utilized to investigate the chlorophyllides anticancer mechanism on the breast cancer cells lines. Results showed that chlorophyllides composites induced upregulation of 43 and 56 differentially expressed genes (DEG) in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells, respectively. In both cell lines, chlorophyllides composites modulated the expression of annexin A4 (ANXA4), chemokine C-C motif receptor 1 (CCR1), stromal interaction molecule 2 (STIM2), ethanolamine kinase 1 (ETNK1) and member of RAS oncogene family (RAP2B). Further, the KEGG annotation revealed that chlorophyllides composites modulated DEGs that are associated with the endocrine system in MCF-7 cells and with the nervous system in MDA-MB-231 cells, respectively. The expression levels of 9 genes were validated by quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR). The expression of CCR1, STIM2, ETNK1, MAGl1 and TOP2A were upregulated in both chlorophyllides composites treated-MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells. The different expression of NLRC5, SLC7A7 and PKN1 provided valuable information for future investigation and development of novel cancer therapy.

STIM1–Orai1 Interaction Exacerbates LPS-Induced Inflammation and Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress in Bovine Hepatocytes through Store-Operated Calcium Entry. Genes (Basel) 2022; 13:genes13050874. [PMID: 35627260 PMCID: PMC9140735 DOI: 10.3390/genes13050874] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2022] [Revised: 05/08/2022] [Accepted: 05/11/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: The basic mechanism of store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) in bovine hepatocytes (BHEC) is related to the activation of STIM1 and Orai1. The effect of STIM1- and Orai1-dependent calcium ion signaling on the NF-κB signaling pathway is unclear. (2) Methods: In this study, the expression of STIM1 and Orai1 in BHEC was regulated. RT-qPCR, Western blotting, and an immunofluorescence antibody (IFA) assay were performed to elucidate the effect of inflammation and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) in BHEC. (3) Results: First of all, in this study, RT-PCR and Western blotting were used to detect the levels of IκB, NF-κB, and inflammatory factors (IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α) and the expression of genes and proteins related to ERS (PERK, IRE1, ATF6, GRP78, and CHOP), which reached peak levels simultaneously when BHEC were treated with 16 μg/mL LPS for 1 h. For STIM1, we overexpressed STIM1 in BHEC by using plasmid transfection technology. The results showed that after overexpression of STIM1, the gene and protein expression of STIM1 levels were significantly upregulated, and the expression of Orai1 on the cell membrane was also upregulated, which directly activated the SOCE channel and induced inflammation and ERS in BHEC. The overexpression group was then treated with LPS, and it was found that the overexpression of STIM1 could enhance LPS-induced BHEC inflammation and ERS in BHEC. For Orai1, BHEC were pretreated with 8 μg/mL of the specific inhibitor BTP2 for 6 h. It was found that BTP2 could inhibit the expression of mRNA in Orai1, significantly reduce the gene expression of STIM1, inhibit the activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway, and alleviate inflammation and ERS in BHEC under LPS stimulation. (4) Conclusions: In conclusion, STIM1/Orai1 can intervene and exacerbate LPS-induced inflammation and ERS in bovine hepatocytes through SOCE.

Disruption of STIM1-mediated Ca 2+ sensing and energy metabolism in adult skeletal muscle compromises exercise tolerance, proteostasis, and lean mass. Mol Metab 2022; 57:101429. [PMID: 34979330 PMCID: PMC8814391 DOI: 10.1016/j.molmet.2021.101429] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2021] [Revised: 12/22/2021] [Accepted: 12/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) is a single-pass transmembrane endoplasmic/sarcoplasmic reticulum (E/SR) protein recognized for its role in a store operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE), an ancient and ubiquitous signaling pathway. Whereas STIM1 is known to be indispensable during development, its biological and metabolic functions in mature muscles remain unclear. METHODS Conditional and tamoxifen inducible muscle STIM1 knock-out mouse models were coupled with multi-omics tools and comprehensive physiology to understand the role of STIM1 in regulating SOCE, mitochondrial quality and bioenergetics, and whole-body energy homeostasis. RESULTS This study shows that STIM1 is abundant in adult skeletal muscle, upregulated by exercise, and is present at SR-mitochondria interfaces. Inducible tissue-specific deletion of STIM1 (iSTIM1 KO) in adult muscle led to diminished lean mass, reduced exercise capacity, and perturbed fuel selection in the settings of energetic stress, without affecting whole-body glucose tolerance. Proteomics and phospho-proteomics analyses of iSTIM1 KO muscles revealed molecular signatures of low-grade E/SR stress and broad activation of processes and signaling networks involved in proteostasis. CONCLUSION These results show that STIM1 regulates cellular and mitochondrial Ca2+ dynamics, energy metabolism and proteostasis in adult skeletal muscles. Furthermore, these findings provide insight into the pathophysiology of muscle diseases linked to disturbances in STIM1-dependent Ca2+ handling.

Abstract
Recent studies emphasize the importance of 5-HT2C receptor (5-HT2C R) signaling in the regulation of energy homeostasis. The 5-HT2C R is the only G-protein-coupled receptor known to undergo post-transcriptional adenosine to inosine (A-to-I) editing by adenosine deaminase acting on RNA (ADAR). 5-HT2C R has emerged as an important role in the modulation of pancreatic β cell functions. This study investigated mechanisms behind the effects of palmitic acid (PA) on insulin secretion in different overexpressed 5-HT2C R edited isoforms in pancreatic MIN6 β cells. Results showed that the expressions of 5HT2C R and ADAR2 were upregulated in the pancreatic islets of mice fed with high-fat diet (HFD) compared to control mice. PA treatment significantly induced the expressions of 5-HT2C R and ADAR2 in pancreatic MIN6 β cells. PA treatment significantly induced the editing of 5-HT2C R in pancreatic MIN6 β cells. There was no significant difference in cell viability between naïve cells and three overexpressed 5-HT2C R edited isoforms in pancreatic MIN6 β cells. Overexpressed 5-HT2C R edited isoforms showed reduced glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) compared with green fluorescent protein (GFP) expressed cells. Moreover, 5-HT2C R edited isoforms displayed reduced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) calcium release and store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) activation, probably through inhibition of stromal interaction molecule 1 trafficking under PA treatment. Altogether, our results show that PA-mediated editing of 5-HT2C R modulates GSIS through alteration of ER calcium release and SOCE activation in pancreatic MIN6 β cells.

Abstract
Background Pineal cyst is a benign lesion commonly occurring in people of any age. Until now, the underlying molecular alterations have not been explored. Methods We performed whole exome sequencing of 93 germline samples and 21 pineal cyst tissue samples to illustrate its genetic architecture and somatic mutations. The dominant and recessive inheritance modes were considered, and a probability was calculated to evaluate the significance of variant overrepresentation. Results By analyzing pineal cyst as a Mendelian disease with a dominant inheritance pattern, we identified 42,325 rare germline variants, and NM_001004711.1:c.476A>G was highly enriched (FDR<0.2). By analyzing it as a recessive disorder, we identified 753 homozygous rare variants detected in at least one pineal cyst sample each. One STIM2 rare variant, NM_001169117.1:c.1652C>T, was overrepresented (FDR<0.05). Analyzing at a gene‐based level, we identified a list of the most commonlymutated germline genes, including POP4, GNGT2 and TMEM254. A somatic mutation analysis of 21 samples identified 16 variants in 15 genes, which mainly participated in the biological processes of gene expression and epigenetic regulation, immune response modulation, and transferase activity. Conclusion These molecular profiles are novel for this condition and provide data for investigators interested in pineal cysts.

Abstract
The intracellular Ca2+ concentration is mainly controlled by Ca2+ channels. These channels form complexes with K+ channels, which function to amplify Ca2+ flux. In cancer cells, voltage-gated/voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels and non-voltage-gated/voltage-independent Ca2+ channels have been reported to interact with K+ channels such as Ca2+-activated K+ channels and voltage-gated K+ channels. These channels are activated by an increase in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration or by membrane depolarization, which induces membrane hyperpolarization, increasing the driving force for Ca2+ flux. These complexes, composed of K+ and Ca2+ channels, are regulated by several molecules including lipids (ether lipids and cholesterol), proteins (e.g. STIM), receptors (e.g. S1R/SIGMAR1), and peptides (e.g. LL-37) and can be targeted by monoclonal antibodies, making them novel targets for cancer research.

Abstract
STIM1, an ER-located Ca2+ sensor, activates Orai1 channels upon Ca2+-storedepletion. Prior to this, STIM1 undergoes a sequence of conformational changes, which cannot be controlled individually with high spatiotemporal resolution. Ma et al. [1] used the power of optogenetic engineering to transfer light-sensitivity to STIM1 and precisely characterize individual STIM1 activation steps.
