Abstract
Acute pancreatitis is initiated within pancreatic exocrine cells and sustained by dysregulated systemic inflammatory responses mediated by neutrophils. Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) through ORAI1 channels in pancreatic acinar cells triggers acute pancreatitis, and ORAI1 inhibitors ameliorate experimental acute pancreatitis, but the role of ORAI1 in pancreatitis-associated acute lung injury has not been determined. Here, we showed mice with pancreas-specific deletion of Orai1 (Orai1ΔPdx1, ∼70% reduction in the expression of Orai1) are protected against pancreatic tissue damage and immune cell infiltration, but not pancreatitis-associated acute lung injury, suggesting the involvement of unknown cells that may cause such injury through SOCE via ORAI1. Genetic (Orai1ΔMRP8) or pharmacological inhibition of ORAI1 in murine and human neutrophils decreased Ca2+ influx and impaired chemotaxis, reactive oxygen species production, and neutrophil extracellular trap formation. Unlike pancreas-specific Orai1 deletion, mice with neutrophil-specific deletion of Orai1 (Orai1ΔMRP8) were protected against pancreatitis- and sepsis-associated lung cytokine release and injury, but not pancreatic injury in experimental acute pancreatitis. These results define critical differences between contributions from different cell types to either pancreatic or systemic organ injury in acute pancreatitis. Our findings suggest that any therapy for acute pancreatitis that targets multiple rather than single cell types is more likely to be effective.

Abstract
Increasing evidence has shown that stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1), a key subunit of store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE), is closely associated with tumor growth, development, and metastasis. However, there is no report of a comprehensive assessment of STIM1 in pan-cancer. This study aimed to perform a general analysis of STIM1 in human tumors, including its molecular characteristics, functional mechanisms, clinical significance, and immune infiltrates correlation based on pan-cancer data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Gene expression analysis was investigated using TCGA RNA-seq data, the Tumor Immune Estimation Resource (TIMER). Phosphorylation analysis was undertaken using the Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CP-TAC) and the PhosphoNET database. Genetic alterations of STIM1 were analyzed using cBioPortal. Prognostic analysis was via the R package "survival" function and the Kaplan-Meier plotter. Functional enrichment analysis was via by the R package "cluster Profiler" function. The association between STIM1 and tumor-infiltrating immune cells and immune markers was by the R package "GSVA" function and TIMER. STIM1 was differentially expressed and associated with distinct clinical stages in multiple tumors. The phosphorylation of STIM1 at S673 is highly expressed in clear cell renal carcinoma and lung adenocarcinoma tumors compared to normal tissues. STIM1 genetic alterations correlate with poor prognosis in several tumors, including ovarian cancer and lung squamous cell carcinomas. High STIM1 expression is associated with good or poor prognosis across diverse tumors. Overall survival (OS) analysis indicated that STIM1 is a favorable prognostic factor for patients with BRCA, KIRC, LIHC, LUAD, OV, SARC, and UCEC, and is a risk prognostic factor for BLCA, KIRP, STAD, and UVM. There is a close correlation between STIM1 expression and immune cell infiltration, immune-regulated genes, chemokines, and immune checkpoints in a variety of tumors. STIM1 functions differently in diverse tumors, playing an oncogenic or antitumor role. Moreover, It may serve as a prognostic biomarker and an immunotherapy target across multiple tumors.

β 2-Integrin Adhesive Bond Tension under Shear Stress Modulates Cytosolic Calcium Flux and Neutrophil Inflammatory Response. Cells 2022; 11:cells11182822.

Abstract
On arrested neutrophils a focal adhesive cluster of ~200 high affinity (HA) β2-integrin bonds under tension is sufficient to trigger Ca2+ flux that signals an increase in activation in direct proportion to increments in shear stress. We reasoned that a threshold tension acting on individual β2-integrin bonds provides a mechanical means of transducing the magnitude of fluid drag force into signals that enhance the efficiency of neutrophil recruitment and effector function. Tension gauge tethers (TGT) are a duplex of DNA nucleotides that rupture at a precise shear force, which increases with the extent of nucleotide overlap, ranging from a tolerance of 54pN to 12pN. TGT annealed to a substrate captures neutrophils via allosteric antibodies that stabilize LFA-1 in a high- or low-affinity conformation. Neutrophils sheared on TGT substrates were recorded in real time to form HA β2-integrin bonds and flux cytosolic Ca2+, which elicited shape change and downstream production of reactive oxygen species. A threshold force of 33pN triggered consolidation of HA β2-integrin bonds and triggered membrane influx of Ca2+, whereas an optimum tension of 54pN efficiently transduced activation at a level equivalent to chemotactic stimulation on ICAM-1. We conclude that neutrophils sense the level of fluid drag transduced through individual β2-integrin bonds, providing an intrinsic means to modulate inflammatory response in the microcirculation.

Abstract
The assessment of leukocyte activation in vivo is mainly based on surrogate parameters, such as cell shape changes and migration patterns. Consequently, additional parameters are required to dissect the complex spatiotemporal activation of leukocytes during inflammation. Here, we showed that intravital microscopy of myeloid leukocyte Ca2+ signals with Ca2+ reporter mouse strains combined with bioinformatic signal analysis provided a tool to assess their activation in vivo. We demonstrated by two-photon microscopy that tissue-resident macrophages reacted to sterile inflammation in the cremaster muscle with Ca2+ transients in a distinct spatiotemporal pattern. Moreover, through high-resolution, intravital spinning disk confocal microscopy, we identified the intracellular Ca2+ signaling patterns of neutrophils during the migration cascade in vivo. These patterns were modulated by the Ca2+ channel Orai1 and Gαi-coupled GPCRs, whose effects were evident through analysis of the range of frequencies of the Ca2+ signal (frequency spectra), which provided insights into the complex patterns of leukocyte Ca2+ oscillations. Together, these findings establish Ca2+ frequency spectra as an additional dimension to assess leukocyte activation and migration during inflammation in vivo.

Sex-dependent effect of aging on calcium signaling and expression of TRPM2 and CRAC channels in human neutrophils. Hum Immunol 2022; 83:645-655.

Abstract
The vulnerability of older adults to bacterial infections has been associated with age-related changes in neutrophils. We analyzed the consequences of aging on calcium (Ca2+) mobilization and TRPM2 and CRAC channels expression in human neutrophils. The percentages of granulocytes, mature neutrophils, and neutrophil precursors were equivalent between young and older adults. However, neutrophil chemotaxis towards IL-8, C5a, or fMLP was lower in older adults of both sexes. Interestingly, a stronger Ca2+ transient followed by an identical Ca2+ influx to IL-8 was observed in older adult females. In addition, the Ca2+ response to LPS was delayed and prolonged in neutrophils of older adult males. There was no significant difference in Ca2+ response to fMLP, C5a, or store-operated Ca2+ entry in the older adults. There were also no differences in the expression of CXCR2, CD88, FPLR1, and TLR4. Interestingly, TRPM2- and ORAI1-mRNA expression was lower in neutrophils of older adults, mainly in females. Both channels were detected intracellularly in the neutrophils. TRPM2 was in late endosomes in young adults and in lysosomes in older adult neutrophils. In summary, defective neutrophil chemotaxis in aging seemed not to stem from alterations in Ca2+ signals; nevertheless, the low TRPM2 and ORAI1 expression may affect other functions.

Abstract
Neutrophils protect against bacterial and fungal infections, but tight regulation of cell activation is essential for avoiding tissue damage in autoimmune disorders. Protein kinase R (PKR) is a serine/threonine kinase originally characterized by its role in the defense mechanisms against viral infection. Although PKR is involved in the signaling pathways of neurodegenerative diseases and metabolic disorders, its function in neutrophils is not well delineated. In this study, we demonstrate that human neutrophil PKR mediates adhesion to endothelial cells under physiological flow conditions but does not mediate rolling on those cells. Also, neutrophil PKR activation contributes to migration toward chemoattractants. Mechanistically, neutrophil PKR mediates the cell spreading and binding to ICAM-1 in static condition. Moreover, Ab microarray reveals that calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II is phosphorylated downstream of PKR and affects actin polymerization that is a cytoskeleton rearrangement indispensable for neutrophil migration induced by fMLF. In vivo, neutrophil recruitment into the dorsal air pouch of mice is reduced by PKR inhibitor treatment. Also, in mice with nephrotoxic serum nephritis, the compound treatment suppresses neutrophil accumulation in kidney glomerulus and subsequent development of albuminuria. Thus, in vascular inflammation, neutrophil PKR plays a critical role in the recruitment process, including endothelial adhesion and migration via leukocyte actin polymerization.

Abstract
Background Airway inflammation produced by neutrophils is a critical factor in the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Poor or excessive neutrophil polarization and chemotaxis may lead to pathogen accumulation and tissue damage. However, it is unclear how cigarette smoke extract (CSE) attracts neutrophils and to what extent COPD is affected by the improper polarization of these abnormal neutrophils. This study sought to assess the polarization and migration dynamics of neutrophils isolated from patients with different severities of COPD compared to healthy smoking and non-smoking control subjects, and to detect how CSE triggers the polarization of neutrophils. Methods The neutrophils were freshly isolated using standard isolation protocol. The polarization of the neutrophils was observed using a Zigmond chamber when stimulated by a linear concentration gradient of CSE or N-formyl-methionine-leucine-phenylalanine (fMLP). Confocal laser-scanning microscopy was used to observe the intracellular calcium of the neutrophils. The experimental data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation. SPSS 20.0 software was used for the statistical analysis. A P value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results The neutrophils from the COPD patients showed a higher frequency of spontaneous polarization and a lower prevalence of directionality polarization than those from the healthy control (HC) and smoker subjects. The abnormal polarization of the neutrophils from the COPD patients was altered by the influence of store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) component matrix interaction molecules 1 and 2 and calcium release-activated calcium channel protein 1 [stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1), Stromal interaction molecule 2 (STIM2), and calcium release-activated calcium modulator 1 (ORAI1)]. Conclusions The COPD neutrophils exhibited unique polarization and migration patterns compared to those of the cells examined from other populations. The attraction of CSEs to neutrophils was mediated by the SOCE/Akt/Src pathway.

Abstract
Spontaneous venous thrombosis is often the first clinical sign of cancer, and it is linked to a worsened survival rate. Traditionally, tumor-cell induced platelet activation has been the main actor studied in cancer-associated-thrombosis. However, platelet involvement alone does not seem to be sufficient to explain this heightened pro-thrombotic state. Neutrophils are emerging as key players in both thrombus generation and cancer progression. Neutrophils can impact thrombosis through the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and expression of molecules like P-selectin and Tissue Factor (TF) on their membrane and on neutrophil-derived microvesicles. Their role in cancer progression is evidenced by the fact that patients with high blood-neutrophil counts have a worsened prognosis. Tumors can attract neutrophils to the cancer site via pro-inflammatory cytokine secretions and induce a switch to pro-tumoral (or N2) neutrophils, which support metastatic spread and have an immunosuppressive role. They can also expel their nuclear contents to entrap pathogens forming Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs) and can also capture coagulation factors, enhancing the thrombus formation. These NETs are also known to have pro-tumoral effects by supporting the metastatic process. Here, we strived to do a comprehensive literature review of the role of neutrophils as drivers of both cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) and cancer progression.

Abstract
Neutrophils are critical for inflammation and innate immunity, and their adhesion to vascular endothelium is a crucial step in neutrophil recruitment. Mitofusin-2 (MFN2) is required for neutrophil adhesion, but molecular details are unclear. Here, we demonstrated that β2 -integrin-mediated slow-rolling and arrest, but not PSGL-1-mediated cell rolling, are defective in MFN2-deficient neutrophil-like HL60 cells. This adhesion defect is associated with reduced expression of fMLP (N-formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine) receptor FPR1 as well as the inhibited β2 integrin activation, as assessed by conformation-specific monoclonal antibodies. MFN2 deficiency also leads to decreased actin polymerization, which is important for β2 integrin activation. Mn2+ -induced cell spreading is also inhibited after MFN2 knockdown. MFN2 deficiency limited the maturation of β2 integrin activation during the neutrophil-directed differentiation of HL60 cells, which is indicated by CD35 and CD87 markers. MFN2 knockdown in β2-integrin activation-matured cells (CD87high population) also inhibits integrin activation, indicating that MFN2 directly affects β2 integrin activation. Our study illustrates the function of MFN2 in leukocyte adhesion and may provide new insights into the development and treatment of MFN2 deficiency-related diseases.

Abstract
Tumor-associated vessels constitution is the result of angiogenesis, the hallmark of cancer essential for tumor to develop in dimension and to spread throughout the organism. Tumor endothelium is configured as an active functioning organ capable of determine interaction with the immune response and all the other components of the variegate cancer microenvironment, determining reciprocal influence. Angiogenesis is here analyzed in its molecular and cellular mechanisms, multiple mediators and principal players, represented by Endothelial Cells. It is discussed the striking heterogeneity of cancer endothelium, due to morphological and molecular aberrations that it often presents and its multiple origin. Among the cells that participate to the composition of tumor vasculature, Endothelial Progenitor Cells represent an important source for physical sustain and paracrine signaling in the process of angiogenesis. Treatment options are reviewed, with particular focus on novel therapeutic strategies for overcoming tumor resistance to anti-angiogenic agents.

Abstract
The importance of the intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in neutrophil function has been intensely studied. However, the role of the intracellular Na+ concentration ([Na+]i) which is closely linked to the intracellular Ca2+ regulation has been largely overlooked. The [Na+]i is regulated by Na+ transport proteins such as the Na+/Ca2+-exchanger (NCX1), Na+/K+-ATPase, and Na+-permeable, transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) channel. Stimulating with either N-formylmethionine-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLF) or complement protein C5a causes distinct changes of the [Na+]i. fMLF induces a sustained increase of [Na+]i, surprisingly, reaching higher values in TRPM2−/− neutrophils. This outcome is unexpected and remains unexplained. In both genotypes, C5a elicits only a transient rise of the [Na+]i. The difference in [Na+]i measured at t = 10 min after stimulation is inversely related to neutrophil chemotaxis. Neutrophil chemotaxis is more efficient in C5a than in an fMLF gradient. Moreover, lowering the extracellular Na+ concentration from 140 to 72 mM improves chemotaxis of WT but not of TRPM2−/− neutrophils. Increasing the [Na+]i by inhibiting the Na+/K+-ATPase results in disrupted chemotaxis. This is most likely due to the impact of the altered Na+ homeostasis and presumably NCX1 function whose expression was shown by means of qPCR and which critically relies on proper extra- to intracellular Na+ concentration gradients. Increasing the [Na+]i by a few mmol/l may suffice to switch its transport mode from forward (Ca2+-efflux) to reverse (Ca2+-influx) mode. The role of NCX1 in neutrophil chemotaxis is corroborated by its blocker, which also causes a complete inhibition of chemotaxis.

ORAI1 and ORAI2 modulate murine neutrophil calcium signaling, cellular activation, and host defense. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2020; 117:24403-24414.

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

Abstract
Recruitment of leukocytes to sites of acute inflammation is guided by spatial and temporal cues that ensure appropriate cell numbers infiltrate the tissue at precise locations to protect it from infection and initiate repair. On inflamed endothelium, neutrophil rolling via selectins elicits cytosolic calcium release from endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-stores that are synergistic with chemokine signaling to activate formation of high affinity (HA) LFA-1 bonds to ICAM-1, which is necessary to anchor cells against the drag force of blood flow. Bond tension on LFA-1 within the area of adhesive contact with endothelium elicits calcium entry through calcium release-activated calcium channel protein 1 (Orai-1) membrane channels that in turn activate neutrophil shape change and migration. We hypothesized that mechanotransduction via LFA-1 is mediated by assembly of a cytosolic molecular complex consisting of Kindlin-3, receptor for activated C kinase 1 (RACK1), and Orai1. Initiation of Ca2+ flux at sites of adhesive contact required a threshold level of shear stress and increased with the magnitude of bond tension transduced across as few as 200 HA LFA-1. A sequential mechanism triggered by force acting on LFA-1/Kindlin-3 precipitated dissociation of RACK1, which formed a concentration gradient above LFA-1 bond clusters. This directed translocation of ER proximal to Orai1, where binding of inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate receptor type 1 and activation via stromal interaction molecule 1 elicited Ca flux and subsequent neutrophil shape change and motility. We conclude that neutrophils sense adhesive traction on LFA-1 bonds on a submicron scale to direct calcium influx, thereby ensuring sufficient shear stress of blood flow is present to trigger cell arrest and initiate transmigration at precise regions of vascular inflammation.

Abstract
Tumor invasion requires efficient cell migration, which is achieved by the generation of persistent and polarized lamellipodia. The generation of lamellipodia is supported by actin dynamics at the leading edge where a complex of proteins known as the WAVE regulatory complex (WRC) promotes the required assembly of actin filaments to push the front of the cell ahead. By using an U2OS osteosarcoma cell line with high metastatic potential, proven by a xenotransplant in zebrafish larvae, we have studied the role of the plasma membrane Ca2+ channel ORAI1 in this process. We have found that epidermal growth factor (EGF) triggered an enrichment of ORAI1 at the leading edge, where colocalized with cortactin (CTTN) and other members of the WRC, such as CYFIP1 and ARP2/3. ORAI1-CTTN co-precipitation was sensitive to the inhibition of the small GTPase RAC1, an upstream activator of the WRC. RAC1 potentiated ORAI1 translocation to the leading edge, increasing the availability of surface ORAI1 and increasing the plasma membrane ruffling. The role of ORAI1 at the leading edge was studied in genetically engineered U2OS cells lacking ORAI1 expression that helped us to prove the key role of this Ca2+ channel on lamellipodia formation, lamellipodial persistence, and cell directness, which are required for tumor cell invasiveness in vivo.

Abstract
Human neutrophils have a vital role in host defense and inflammatory responses in innate immune systems. Growing evidence shows that the overproduction of reactive oxygen species and granular proteolytic enzymes from activated neutrophils is linked to the pathogenesis of acute inflammatory diseases. However, adequate therapeutic targets are still lacking to regulate neutrophil functions. Herein, we report that MVBR-28, synthesized from the Mannich bases of heterocyclic chalcone, has anti-neutrophilic inflammatory effects through regulation of intracellular pH. MVBR-28 modulates neutrophil functions by attenuating respiratory burst, degranulation, and migration. Conversely, MVBR-28 has no antioxidant effects and fails to alter elastase activity in cell-free systems. The anti-inflammatory effects of MVBR-28 are not seen through cAMP pathways. Significantly, MVBR-28 potently inhibits extracellular Ca2+ influx in N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLF)- and thapsigargin-activated human neutrophils. Notably, MVBR-28 attenuates fMLF-induced intracellular alkalization in a K+ -dependent manner, which is upstream of Ca2+ pathways. Collectively, these findings provide new insight into Mannich bases of heterocyclic chalcone regarding the regulation of neutrophil functions and the potential for the development of MVBR-28 as a lead compound for treating neutrophilic inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Abstract Here we report a novel role for TRPC6, a member of the transient receptor potential (TRPC) channel family, in the CXCL1-dependent recruitment of murine neutrophil granulocytes. Representing a central element of the innate immune system, neutrophils are recruited from the blood stream to a site of inflammation. The recruitment process follows a well-defined sequence of events including adhesion to the blood vessel walls, migration, and chemotaxis to reach the inflammatory focus. A common feature of the underlying signaling pathways is the utilization of Ca2+ ions as intracellular second messengers. However, the required Ca2+ influx channels are not yet fully characterized. We used WT and TRPC6−/− neutrophils for in vitro and TRPC6−/− chimeric mice (WT mice with WT or TRPC6−/− bone marrow cells) for in vivo studies. After renal ischemia and reperfusion injury, TRPC6−/− chimeric mice had an attenuated TRPC6−/− neutrophil recruitment and a better outcome as judged from the reduced increase in the plasma creatinine concentration. In the cremaster model CXCL1-induced neutrophil adhesion, arrest and transmigration were also decreased in chimeric mice with TRPC6−/− neutrophils. Using atomic force microscopy and microfluidics, we could attribute the recruitment defect of TRPC6−/− neutrophils to the impact of the channel on adhesion to endothelial cells. Mechanistically, TRPC6−/− neutrophils exhibited lower Ca2+ transients during the initial adhesion leading to diminished Rap1 and β2 integrin activation and thereby reduced ICAM-1 binding. In summary, our study reveals that TRPC6 channels in neutrophils are crucial signaling modules in their recruitment from the blood stream in response to CXCL1. Key point Neutrophil TRPC6 channels are crucial for CXCL1-triggered activation of integrins during the initial steps of neutrophil recruitment.

Abstract
Metals are essential components in all forms of life required for the function of nearly half of all enzymes and are critically involved in virtually all fundamental biological processes. Especially, the transition metals iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu) and cobalt (Co) are crucial micronutrients known to play vital roles in metabolism as well due to their unique redox properties. Metals carry out three major functions within metalloproteins: to provide structural support, to serve as enzymatic cofactors, and to mediate electron transportation. Metal ions are also involved in the immune system from metal allergies to nutritional immunity. Within the past decade, much attention has been drawn to the roles of metal ions in the immune system, since increasing evidence has mounted to suggest that metals are critically implicated in regulating both the innate immune sensing of and the host defense against invading pathogens. The importance of ions in immunity is also evidenced by the identification of various immunodeficiencies in patients with mutations in ion channels and transporters. In addition, cancer immunotherapy has recently been conclusively demonstrated to be effective and important for future tumor treatment, although only a small percentage of cancer patients respond to immunotherapy because of inadequate immune activation. Importantly, metal ion-activated immunotherapy is becoming an effective and potential way in tumor therapy for better clinical application. Nevertheless, we are still in a primary stage of discovering the diverse immunological functions of ions and mechanistically understanding the roles of these ions in immune regulation. This review summarizes recent advances in the understanding of metal-controlled immunity. Particular emphasis is put on the mechanisms of innate immune stimulation and T cell activation by the essential metal ions like calcium (Ca2+), zinc (Zn2+), manganese (Mn2+), iron (Fe2+/Fe3+), and potassium (K+), followed by a few unessential metals, in order to draw a general diagram of metalloimmunology.

J Anim Sci 2019; 97:3326-3336. [PMID: 31299068 DOI: 10.1093/jas/skz209] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2019] [Accepted: 06/15/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Hypocalcemia in dairy cows is often associated with inflammation-related disorders such as metritis and mastitis. The protein encoded by the Ca2+ release-activated calcium modulator 1 (ORAI1) gene is a membrane Ca2+ channel subunit that is activated when Ca2+ stores are depleted. Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNL) have a crucial role in the defense against infection through migration, adhesion, chemotaxis, phagocytosis, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in response to pathogens. Whether hypocalcemia affects the activity of PMNL and if ORAI1 is involved remains unknown. To address this, PMNL were isolated at 3 d of calving from dairy cows diagnosed as clinically healthy (n = 20, CONTROL) or with plasma concentration of calcium < 2.0 mmol/L as a criterion for diagnosis of subclinical hypocalcemia (n = 20, HYPOCAL). PMNL isolated from both groups of cows were treated with or without the sarcoendoplasmic Ca2+ ATPase inhibitor thapsigargin, Ca2+ ionophore Ionomycin, and ORAI1 blocker 2APB. The intracellular Ca2+ concentration, ORAI1 abundance, ROS, phagocytosis rate, migration, and adhering capacity of treated PMNL were evaluated. Some of the in vitro assays also included use of small interfering ORAI1 RNA (siORAI1), 100 nM 1,25(OH)2D3, or 100 nM parathyroid hormone (PTH). Intracellular Ca2+ concentration was markedly lower in HYPOCAL. In addition, ORAI1 was detected in PMNL plasma membrane via FACS and was markedly lower in cows with HYPOCAL. Migration, adhesion capacity, and phagocytosis rate of PMNL were lower in response to HYPOCAL. Furthermore, plasma and PMNL concentration of nucleosome assembly protein (NAP2) and pro-platelet basic protein (CXCL7) was markedly lower with HYPOCAL. All these changes were associated with lower ROS production by PMNL. Thapsigargin and ionomycin treatment in vitro increased ORAI1 expression, migration of PMNL, adhering capacity, phagocytosis rate, and ROS production; conversely, those effects were abrogated by siORAI1 and ORAI1 inhibitor 2APB treatment. Also cytosolic Ca2+ concentration and ORAI1 abundance were increased by 1,25(OH)2D3 and PTH supplementation. Overall, the data indicate that failure of PMNL to uptake Ca2+ due to downregulation of ORAI1 during subclinical hypocalcemia is a factor contributing to impaired PMNL function. In addition, plasma PTH or 1,25(OH)2D3 could regulate ORAI1 and also participate in the regulation of PMNL activity.

Sodium Channel Nav1.3 Is Expressed by Polymorphonuclear Neutrophils during Mouse Heart and Kidney Ischemia In Vivo and Regulates Adhesion, Transmigration, and Chemotaxis of Human and Mouse Neutrophils In Vitro.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Voltage-gated sodium channels generate action potentials in excitable cells, but they have also been attributed noncanonical roles in nonexcitable cells. We hypothesize that voltage-gated sodium channels play a functional role during extravasation of neutrophils. METHODS Expression of voltage-gated sodium channels was analyzed by polymerase chain reaction. Distribution of Nav1.3 was determined by immunofluorescence and flow cytometry in mouse models of ischemic heart and kidney injury. Adhesion, transmigration, and chemotaxis of neutrophils to endothelial cells and collagen were investigated with voltage-gated sodium channel inhibitors and lidocaine in vitro. Sodium currents were examined with a whole cell patch clamp. RESULTS Mouse and human neutrophils express multiple voltage-gated sodium channels. Only Nav1.3 was detected in neutrophils recruited to ischemic mouse heart (25 ± 7%, n = 14) and kidney (19 ± 2%, n = 6) in vivo. Endothelial adhesion of mouse neutrophils was reduced by tetrodotoxin (56 ± 9%, unselective Nav-inhibitor), ICA121431 (53 ± 10%), and Pterinotoxin-2 (55 ± 9%; preferential inhibitors of Nav1.3, n = 10). Tetrodotoxin (56 ± 19%), ICA121431 (62 ± 22%), and Pterinotoxin-2 (59 ± 22%) reduced transmigration of human neutrophils through endothelial cells, and also prevented chemotactic migration (n = 60, 3 × 20 cells). Lidocaine reduced neutrophil adhesion to 60 ± 9% (n = 10) and transmigration to 54 ± 8% (n = 9). The effect of lidocaine was not increased by ICA121431 or Pterinotoxin-2. CONCLUSIONS Nav1.3 is expressed in neutrophils in vivo; regulates attachment, transmigration, and chemotaxis in vitro; and may serve as a relevant target for antiinflammatory effects of lidocaine.

Abstract
Calcium is a major intracellular signaling messenger in innate immune cells. Similar to other immune cell subsets, the majority of calcium entry into innate immune cells is induced by cell surface receptors that stimulate store-operated calcium entry through calcium-release activated calcium (CRAC) channels. Since the molecular description of the STIM family of calcium sensors and the ORAI family of CRAC channel proteins, the majority of studies support a dominant role for these proteins in calcium signaling in innate cells. In reviewing the literature on CRAC channel function in innate cells, several general themes emerge. All innate cells express multiple members of the STIM and ORAI family members, however the ratio and relative contribution of individual isoforms changes depending on the cell type and activation state of the cell. It is evident that study of functional roles for STIM molecules is clearly ahead of studies of specific ORAI family members in all innate cell types, and that studies of CRAC channels in innate cells are not nearly as advanced as studies in lymphocytes. However, taken together, evidence from both STIM calcium sensors and ORAI channels in innate cells indicates that deficiency of STIM and ORAI proteins tends not to affect the development of any innate cell lineage, but certainly affects their function, in particular activation of the neutrophil oxidase and mast cell activation via IgE receptors. Furthermore, there are clearly hints that therapeutic targeting of CRAC channels in innate cells offers a new approach to various inflammatory and allergic diseases.

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
Neutrophils are the most motile of mammalian cells, a feature that enables them to protect the host against the rapid spread of pathogens from tissue into the circulatory system. A critical process is the recruitment of neutrophils to inflamed endothelium within post-capillary venules. This occurs through cooperation between at least four families of adhesion molecules and G-protein coupled signaling receptors. These adhesion molecules convert the drag force induced by blood flow acting on the cell surface into bond tension that resists detachment. A common feature of selectin-glycoprotein tethering and integrin-ICAM bond formation is the mechanics by which force acting on these specific receptor-ligand pairs influences their longevity, strength, and topographic organization on the plasma membrane. Another distinctly mechanical aspect of neutrophil guidance is the capacity of adhesive bonds to convert external mechanical force into internal biochemical signals through the transmission of force from the outside-in at focal sites of adhesive traction on inflamed endothelium. Within this region of the plasma membrane, we denote the inflammatory synapse, Ca2+ release, and intracellular signaling provide directional cues that guide actin assembly and myosin driven motive force. This review provides an overview of how bond formation and outside-in signaling controls neutrophil recruitment and migration relative to the hydrodynamic shear force of blood flow.

Abstract
Cytosolic free calcium (Ca2+) is a second messenger regulating a wide variety of functions in blood cells, including adhesion, activation, proliferation and migration. Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE), triggered by depletion of Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum, provides a main mechanism of regulated Ca2+ influx in blood cells. SOCE is mediated and regulated by isoforms of the ion channel proteins ORAI and TRP, and the transmembrane Ca2+ sensors stromal interaction molecules (STIMs), respectively. This report provides an overview of the (patho)physiological importance of SOCE in blood cells implicated in thrombosis and thrombo-inflammation, i.e. platelets and immune cells. We also discuss the physiological consequences of dysregulated SOCE in platelets and immune cells and the potential of SOCE inhibition as a therapeutic option to prevent or treat arterial thrombosis as well as thrombo-inflammatory disease states such as ischemic stroke.

Abstract
The recruitment of neutrophils to sites of inflammation, their battle against invading microorganisms through phagocytosis and the release of antimicrobial agents is a highly coordinated and tightly regulated process that involves the interplay of many different receptors, ion channels and signalling pathways. Changes in intracellular calcium levels, caused by cytosolic Ca2+ store depletion and the influx of extracellular Ca2+ via ion channels, play a critical role in synchronizing neutrophil activation and function. In this review, we provide an overview of how Ca2+ signalling is initiated in neutrophils and how changes in intracellular Ca2+ levels modulate neutrophil function.

Abstract
Most current efforts to advance medical technology proceed along one of two tracks. The first is dedicated to the improvement of clinical tasks through the incremental refinement of medical instruments. The second comprises engineering endeavors to support basic science studies that often only remotely relate to human medicine. Here we survey emerging research approaches that aim to populate the sprawling frontier between these tracks. We focus on interdisciplinary single-live-cell techniques that have overcome limitations of traditional biological methods to successfully address vital questions about medically relevant cellular behavior. Most of the presented case studies are based on the controlled manipulation of nonadherent human immune cells using one or more micropipettes. The included studies have (i) examined one-on-one encounters of immune cells with real or model pathogens, (ii) assessed the physiological role of the expandable surface area of immune cells, and (iii) started to dissect the spatiotemporal organization of signaling processes within these cells. The unique aptitude of such single-live-cell studies to fill conspicuous gaps in our quantitative understanding of medically relevant cause-effect relationships provides a sound basis for new insights that will inform and drive future biomedical innovation.

Abstract
The pore forming Ca2+ release activated Ca2+ channel (CRAC) isoforms ORAI1-3 and their regulators STIM1,2 accomplish store operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE). Activation of SOCE may lead to cytosolic Ca2+ oscillations, which in turn support cell proliferation and cell survival. ORAI/STIM and thus SOCE are upregulated by the serum and glucocorticoid inducible kinase SGK1, a kinase under powerful genomic regulation and activated by phosphorylation via the phosphoinositol-3-phosphate pathway. SGK1 enhances ORAI1 abundance partially by phosphorylation of Nedd4-2, an ubiquitin ligase priming the channel protein for degradation. The SGK1-phosphorylated Nedd4-2 binds to the protein 14-3-3 and is thus unable to ubiquinate ORAI1. SGK1 further increases the ORAI1 and STIM1 protein abundance by activating nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), a transcription factor upregulating the expression of STIM1 and ORAI1. SGK1-sensitive upregulation of ORAI/STIM and thus SOCE is triggered by a wide variety of hormones and growth factors, as well as several cell stressors including ischemia, radiation, and cell shrinkage. SGK1 dependent upregulation of ORAI/STIM confers survival of tumor cells and thus impacts on growth and therapy resistance of cancer. On the other hand, SGK1-dependent upregulation of ORAI1 and STIM1 may support survival of neurons and impairment of SGK1-dependent ORAI/STIM activity may foster neurodegeneration. Clearly, further experimental effort is needed to define the mechanisms linking SGK1-dependent upregulation of ORAI1 and STIM1 to cell survival and to define the impact of SGK1-dependent upregulation of ORAI1 and STIM1 on malignancy and neurodegenerative disease.

Abstract
Global bursts in free intracellular calcium (Ca2+) are among the most conspicuous signaling events in immune cells. To test the common view that Ca2+ bursts mediate rearrangement of the actin cytoskeleton in response to the activation of G protein-coupled receptors, we combined single-cell manipulation with fluorescence imaging and monitored the Ca2+ concentration in individual human neutrophils during complement-mediated chemotaxis. By decoupling purely chemotactic pseudopod formation from cell-substrate adhesion, we showed that physiological concentrations of anaphylatoxins, such as C5a, induced nonadherent human neutrophils to form chemotactic pseudopods but did not elicit Ca2+ bursts. By contrast, pathological or supraphysiological concentrations of C5a often triggered Ca2+ bursts, but pseudopod protrusion stalled or reversed in such cases, effectively halting chemotaxis, similar to sepsis-associated neutrophil paralysis. The maximum increase in cell surface area during pseudopod extension in pure chemotaxis was much smaller-by a factor of 8-than the known capacity of adherent human neutrophils to expand their surface. Because the measured rise in cortical tension was not sufficient to account for this difference, we attribute the limited deformability to a reduced ability of the cytoskeleton to generate protrusive force in the absence of cell adhesion. Thus, we hypothesize that Ca2+ bursts in neutrophils control a mechanistic switch between two distinct modes of cytoskeletal organization and dynamics. A key element of this switch appears to be the expedient coordination of adhesion-dependent lock or release events of cytoskeletal membrane anchors.

Abstract
Neutrophils are the primary cells recruited to inflamed sites during an innate immune response to tissue damage and/or infection. They are finely sensitive to inciting stimuli to reach in great numbers and within minutes areas of inflammation and tissue insult. For this effective response, they can detect extracellular chemical gradients and move towards higher concentrations, the so-called chemotaxis process or guided cell migration. This directed neutrophil recruitment is orchestrated by chemoattractants, a chemically diverse group of molecular guidance cues (e.g., lipids, N-formylated peptides, complement, anaphylotoxins and chemokines). Neutrophils respond to these guidance signals in a hierarchical manner and, based on this concept, they can be further subdivided into two groups: "end target" and "intermediary" chemoattractants, the signals of the former dominant over the latter. Neutrophil chemoattractants exert their effects through interaction with heptahelical G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) expressed on cell surfaces and the chemotactic response is mainly regulated by the Rho family of GTPases. Additionally, neutrophil behavior might differ and be affected in different complex scenarios such as disease conditions and type of vascular bed in specific organs. Finally, there are different mechanisms to disrupt neutrophil chemotaxis either associated to the resolution of inflammation or to bacterial escape and systemic infection. Therefore, in the present review, we will discuss the different molecular players involved in neutrophil chemotaxis, paying special attention to the different chemoattractants described and the way that they interact intra- and extravascularly for neutrophils to properly reach the target tissue.

Abstract
Regenerative medicine was initially focused on tissue engineering to replace damaged tissues and organs with constructs derived from cells and biomaterials. More recently, this field of inquiry has expanded into exciting areas of translational medicine modulating the body’s own endogenous processes, to prevent tissue damage in organs and to repair and regenerate these damaged tissues. This review will focus on recent insights derived from studies in which the manipulation of the innate immunologic system may diminish acute kidney injury and enhance renal repair and recovery without the progression to chronic kidney disease and renal failure. The manner in which these interventions may improve acute and chronic organ dysfunction, including the heart, brain, and lung, will also be reviewed.

Abstract
Ca2+ influx through Orai1 channels is crucial for several T cell functions, but a role in regulating basal cellular motility has not been described. Here, we show that inhibition of Orai1 channel activity increases average cell velocities by reducing the frequency of pauses in human T cells migrating through confined spaces, even in the absence of extrinsic cell contacts or antigen recognition. Utilizing a novel ratiometric genetically encoded cytosolic Ca2+ indicator, Salsa6f, which permits real-time monitoring of cytosolic Ca2+ along with cell motility, we show that spontaneous pauses during T cell motility in vitro and in vivo coincide with episodes of cytosolic Ca2+ signaling. Furthermore, lymph node T cells exhibited two types of spontaneous Ca2+ transients: short-duration 'sparkles' and longer duration global signals. Our results demonstrate that spontaneous and self-peptide MHC-dependent activation of Orai1 ensures random walk behavior in T cells to optimize immune surveillance.

Abstract
Orai1-dependent Ca2+ entry plays an essential role in inflammatory response through regulating T cell and macrophage activation and neutrophil infiltration. However, whether Orai1 Ca2+ entry contributes to endothelial activation, one of the early steps of vascular inflammation, remains elusive. In the present study, we observed that knockdown of Orai1 reduced, whereas overexpression of Orai1 potentiated, TNFα-induced expression of adhesion molecules such as ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in HUVECs, and subsequently blocked adhesion of monocyte to HUVECs. In vivo, Orai1 downregulation attenuated TNFα-induced ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 expression in mouse aorta and the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the serum. In addition, Orai1 knockdown also dramatically decreased the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and neutrophil infiltration in the lung after TNFα treatment, and thus protected lung tissue injury. Notably, among all isoforms of nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFATs), TNFα only triggered NFATc4 nuclear accumulation in HUVECs. Knockdown of Orai1 or inhibition of calcineurin prevented TNFα-induced NFATc4 nuclear translocation and reduced ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 expression in HUVECs. Overexpression of NFATc4 further enhanced ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 expression induced by TNFα. Our study demonstrates that Orai1-Ca2+-calcineurin-NFATc4 signaling is an essential inflammatory pathway required for TNFα-induced endothelial cell activation and vascular inflammation. Therefore, Orai1 may be a potential therapeutic target for treatment of inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Impairment of the immune system is a developing concern in evaluating the toxicity of cadmium (Cd). In the present study, we investigated if Cd could impair cutaneous wound healing through interfering with inflammation after injury. We found that exposure of mice to CdCl2 through drinking water at doses of 10, 30, and 50 mg/l for 8 weeks significantly impaired cutaneous wound healing. Chronic 30 mg/l CdCl2 treatment elevated murine blood Cd level comparable to that of low dose Cd-exposed humans, had no effect on blood total and differential leukocyte counts, but reduced neutrophil infiltration, chemokines (CXCL1 and CXCL2), and proinflammatory cytokines (TNFα, IL-1β, and IL-6) expression in wounded tissue at early stage after injury. Wounded tissue homogenates from CdCl2-treated mice had lower chemotactic activity for neutrophils than those from untreated mice. Mechanistic studies showed that chronic Cd treatment suppressed ERK1/2 and NF-κB p65 phosphorylation in wounded tissue at early stage after injury. Compared with neutrophils isolated from untreated mice, neutrophils from CdCl2 treated mice and normal neutrophils treated with CdCl2 invitro both had lower chemotactic response, calcium mobilization and ERK1/2 phosphorylation upon chemoattractant stimulation. Collectively, our study indicate that chronic low-dose Cd exposure impaired cutaneous wound healing by reducing neutrophil infiltration through inhibiting chemokine expression and neutrophil chemotactic response, and suppressing proinflammatory cytokine expression. Cd may suppress chemokine and proinflammatory expression through inactivating ERK1/2 and NF-κB, and inhibit neutrophil chemotaxis by attenuating calcium mobilization and ERK1/2 phosphorylation in response to chemoattractants.

Abstract
Although the neutrophil recruitment cascade during inflammation has been well described, the molecular players that halt neutrophil chemotaxis remain unclear. In this study, we found that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was a potent stop signal for chemotactic neutrophil migration. Treatment with an antagonist of the ATP receptor (P2X1) in primary human neutrophils or knockout of the P2X1 receptor in neutrophil-like differentiated HL-60 (dHL-60) cells recovered neutrophil chemotaxis. Further observations showed that LPS-induced ATP release through connexin 43 (Cx43) hemichannels was responsible for the activation of the P2X1 receptor and the subsequent calcium influx. Increased intracellular calcium stopped neutrophil chemotaxis by activating myosin light chain (MLC) through the myosin light chain kinase (MLCK)-dependent pathway. Taken together, these data identify a previously unknown function of LPS-induced autocrine ATP signaling in inhibiting neutrophil chemotaxis by enhancing MLC phosphorylation, which provides important evidence that stoppage of neutrophil chemotaxis at infectious foci plays a key role in the defense against invading pathogens.

Abstract
Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) mediated by STIM and Orai proteins is a highly regulated and ubiquitous signaling pathway that plays an important role in various cellular and physiological functions. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) serves as the major site for intracellular Ca2+ storage. Stromal Interaction Molecule 1/2 (STIM1/2) sense decrease in ER Ca2+ levels and transmits the message to plasma membrane Ca2+ channels constituted by Orai family members (Orai1/2/3) resulting in Ca2+ influx into the cells. This increase in cytosolic Ca2+ in turn activates a variety of signaling cascades to regulate a plethora of cellular functions. Evidence from the literature suggests that SOCE dysregulation is associated with several pathophysiologies, including vascular disorders. Interestingly, recent studies have suggested that STIM proteins may also regulate vascular functions independent of their contribution to SOCE. In this updated book chapter, we will focus on the physiological role of STIM and Orai proteins in the vasculature (endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells). We will further retrospect the literature implicating a critical role for these proteins in vascular disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recombinant atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is administered in patients with acute heart failure in Japan to improve renal function and hemodynamics, but its anti-inflammatory effect on activated leukocytes may also contribute to its therapeutic efficacy. OBJECTIVE Examine unconventional role of ANP in neutrophil adhesion to inflamed endothelium. METHODS Human neutrophils were perfused over endothelial monolayers in a microfluidic lab-chip assay. Cell rheology was assessed by micropipette aspiration to assess changes in cortical tension and viscosity. Fluorescence microscopy was applied to measure adhesive contact area and β2-integrin focal bond formation. RESULTS ANP inhibited neutrophil rolling and firm adhesion without influencing the upregulation of cellular adhesion molecules on endothelium or the regulation of high affinity CD18 and shedding of L-selectin during neutrophil activation. Exposed to fluid shear, integrin mediated arrest was disrupted with ANP treatment, which elicited formation of long tethers and diminished cell spreading and contact. This correlated with a ∼40% increase in neutrophil viscosity and a reduction in the adhesive footprint. CONCLUSIONS A decrease in cell deformation and neutrophil flattening with ANP results in fewer integrin bond clusters, which translates to higher tensile forces and impaired adhesion strengthening and cell detachment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the role of orai1 store-operated Ca(2+) entry in foam cell formation and atherogenesis. APPROACH AND RESULTS Acute administration of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) activates an orai1-dependent Ca(2+) entry in macrophages. Chelation of intracellular Ca(2+), inhibition of orai1 store-operated Ca(2+) entry, or knockdown of orai1 dramatically inhibited oxLDL-induced upregulation of scavenger receptor A, uptake of modified LDL, and foam cell formation. Orai1-dependent Ca(2+) entry induces scavenger receptor A expression and foam cell formation through activation of calcineurin but not calmodulin kinase II. Activation of nuclear factor of activated T cells is not involved in calcineurin signaling to foam cell formation. However, oxLDL dephosohorylates and activates apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 in macrophages. Orai1 knockdown prevents oxLDL-induced apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 activation. Knockdown of apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1, or inhibition of its downstream effectors, JNK and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase, reduces scavenger receptor A expression and foam cell formation. Notably, orai1 expression is increased in atherosclerotic plaques of apolipoprotein E(-/-) mice fed with high-cholesterol diet. Knockdown of orai1 with adenovirus harboring orai1 siRNA or inhibition of orai1 Ca(2+) entry with SKF96365 for 4 weeks dramatically inhibits atherosclerotic plaque development in high-cholesterol diet feeding apolipoprotein E(-/-) mice. In addition, inhibition of orai1 Ca(2+) entry prevents macrophage apoptosis in atherosclerotic plaque. Moreover, the expression of inflammatory genes in atherosclerotic lesions and the infiltration of myeloid cells into the aortic sinus plaques are decreased after blocking orai1 signaling. CONCLUSIONS Orai1-dependent Ca(2+) entry promotes atherogenesis possibly by promoting foam cell formation and vascular inflammation, rendering orai1 Ca(2+) channel a potential therapeutic target against atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Phagocytic cells, such as neutrophils, macrophages, and dendritic cells, migrate to sites of infection or damage and are integral to innate immunity through two main mechanisms. The first is to directly neutralize foreign agents and damaged or infected cells by secreting toxic substances or ingesting them through phagocytosis. The second is to alert the adaptive immune system through the secretion of cytokines and the presentation of the ingested materials as antigens, inducing T cell maturation into helper, cytotoxic, or regulatory phenotypes. While calcium signaling has been implicated in numerous phagocyte functions, including differentiation, maturation, migration, secretion, and phagocytosis, the molecular components that mediate these Ca(2+) signals have been elusive. The discovery of the STIM and ORAI proteins has allowed researchers to begin clarifying the mechanisms and physiological impact of store-operated Ca(2+) entry, the major pathway for generating calcium signals in innate immune cells. Here, we review evidence from cell lines and mouse models linking STIM and ORAI proteins to the control of specific innate immune functions of neutrophils, macrophages, and dendritic cells.

Abstract
Stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1)-dependent store operated calcium-entry (SOCE) through Orai1-mediated calcium (Ca(2+) ) influx is considered a major pathway of Ca(2+) signaling, serving T-cell, mast cell, and platelet responses. Here, we show that Orai1 is critical for neutrophil function. Orai1-deficient neutrophils present defects in fMLP and complement C5a-induced Ca(2+) influx and migration, although they respond normally to another chemoattractant, CXCL2. Up until now, no specific contribution of Orai1 independent from STIM1 or SOCE has been recognized in immune cells. Here, we observe that Orai1-deficient neutrophils exhibit normal STIM1-dependent SOCE and STIM1-deficient neutrophils respond to fMLP and C5a efficiently. Despite substantial cytokine production, Orai1(-/-) chimeric mice show impaired neutrophil recruitment in LPS-induced peritonitis. Moreover, Orai1 deficiency results in profoundly defective C5a-triggered neutrophil lung recruitment in hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Comparative evaluation of inflammation in Stim1(-/-) chimeras reveals a distinct pathogenic contribution of STIM1, including its involvement in IgG-induced C5a production. Our data establish Orai1 as key signal mediator of C5aR activation, contributing to inflammation by a STIM1-independent pathway of Ca(2+) -influx in neutrophils.

Role of the store-operated calcium entry protein, STIM1, in neutrophil chemotaxis and infiltration into a murine model of psoriasis-inflamed skin. FASEB J 2015; 29:3003-13.

Abstract
Stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) is a Ca(2+) sensor protein that initiates store-operated calcium entry (SOCE). STIM1 is known to be involved in the chemoattractant signaling pathway for FPR1 in cell lines, but its role in in vivo functioning of neutrophils is unclear. Plaque-type psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder associated with chemoattractants driving neutrophils into the epidermis. We investigated the involvement of STIM1 in neutrophil chemotaxis in vitro, as well as during chronic psoriatic inflammation. To this end, we used conditional knockout (KO) mice lacking STIM1 in cells of myeloid lineage (STIM1(fl/fl) LysM-cre). We demonstrate that STIM1 is required for chemotaxis because of multiple chemoattractants in mouse neutrophils in vitro. Using an imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like skin model, we show that KO mice had less neutrophil infiltration in the epidermis than controls, whereas neither chemoattractant production in the epidermis nor macrophage migration was decreased. KO mice displayed a more rapid reversal of the outward signs of psoriasis (plaques). Thus, KO of STIM1 impairs neutrophil contribution to psoriatic inflammation. Our data provide new insights to our understanding of how STIM1 orchestrates the cellular behavior underlying chemotaxis and illustrate the important role of SOCE in a disease-related pathologic model.

Abstract
Calcium signals in neutrophils are initiated by a variety of cell-surface receptors, including formyl peptide and other GPCRs, FcRs, and integrins. The predominant pathway by which calcium enters immune cells is termed SOCE, whereby plasma membrane CRAC channels allow influx of extracellular calcium into the cytoplasm when intracellular ER stores are depleted. The identification of 2 key families of SOCE regulators, STIM calcium "sensors" and ORAI calcium channels, has allowed for genetic manipulation of SOCE pathways and provided valuable insight into the molecular mechanism of calcium signaling in immune cells, including neutrophils. This review focuses on our current knowledge of the molecules involved in neutrophil SOCE and how study of these molecules has further informed our understanding of the role of calcium signaling in neutrophil activation.

Abstract
Neutrophils form the first line of defense of the innate immune system and are rapidly recruited by chemotactic signals to sites of inflammation. Understanding the mechanisms of neutrophil chemotaxis is therefore of great interest for the potential development of new immunoregulatory therapies. It has been shown that members of the transient receptor potential (TRP) family of cation channels are involved in both cell migration and chemotaxis. In this study, we demonstrate that TRPC1 channels play an important role in fMLP mediated chemotaxis and migration of murine neutrophils. The knock-out of TRPC1 channels leads to an impaired migration, transmigration and chemotaxis of the neutrophils. In contrast, Ca²⁺ influx but not store release after activation of the TRPC1(-/-) neutrophils with fMLP is strongly enhanced. We show that the enhanced Ca²⁺ influx in the TRPC1(-/-) neutrophils is associated with a steepened front to rear gradient of the intracellular Ca²⁺ concentration with higher levels at the cell rear. Taken together, this paper highlights a distinct role of TRPC1 in neutrophil migration and chemotaxis. We propose that TRPC1 controls the activity of further Ca²⁺ influx channels and thus regulates the maintenance of intracellular Ca²⁺ gradients which are critical for cell migration. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: 13th European Symposium on Calcium.

Abstract
Ion channels and transporters mediate the transport of charged ions across hydrophobic lipid membranes. In immune cells, divalent cations such as calcium, magnesium, and zinc have important roles as second messengers to regulate intracellular signaling pathways. By contrast, monovalent cations such as sodium and potassium mainly regulate the membrane potential, which indirectly controls the influx of calcium and immune cell signaling. Studies investigating human patients with mutations in ion channels and transporters, analysis of gene-targeted mice, or pharmacological experiments with ion channel inhibitors have revealed important roles of ionic signals in lymphocyte development and in innate and adaptive immune responses. We here review the mechanisms underlying the function of ion channels and transporters in lymphocytes and innate immune cells and discuss their roles in lymphocyte development, adaptive and innate immune responses, and autoimmunity, as well as recent efforts to develop pharmacological inhibitors of ion channels for immunomodulatory therapy.

Abstract
Neutrophils are phagocytic cells that play a critical role in innate immunity by destroying bacterial pathogens. Channels belonging to the inward rectifier potassium channel subfamily 2 (Kir2 channels) have been described in other phagocytes (monocytes/macrophages and eosinophils) and in hematopoietic precursors of phagocytes. Their physiological function in these cells remains unclear, but some evidence suggests a role in growth factor-dependent proliferation and development. Expression of functional Kir2 channels has not been definitively demonstrated in mammalian neutrophils. Here, we show by RT-PCR that neutrophils from mouse bone marrow and liver express mRNA for the Kir2 subunit Kir2.1 but not for other subunits (Kir2.2, Kir2.3, and Kir2.4). In electrophysiological experiments, resting (unstimulated) neutrophils from mouse bone marrow and liver exhibit a constitutively active, external K(+)-dependent, strong inwardly rectifying current that constitutes the dominant current. The reversal potential is dependent on the external K(+) concentration in a Nernstian fashion, as expected for a K(+)-selective current. The current is not altered by changes in external or internal pH, and it is blocked by Ba(2+), Cs(+), and the Kir2-selective inhibitor ML133. The single-channel conductance is in agreement with previously reported values for Kir2.1 channels. These properties are characteristic of homomeric Kir2.1 channels. Current density in short-term cultures of bone marrow neutrophils is decreased in the absence of growth factors that are important for neutrophil proliferation [granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and stem cell factor (SCF)]. These results demonstrate that mouse neutrophils express functional Kir2.1 channels and suggest that these channels may be important for neutrophil function, possibly in a growth factor-dependent manner.

Abstract
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and its metabolite, adenosine, are key regulators of polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) functions. PMNs have recently been implicated in the initiation of thrombosis. We investigated the role of ATP and adenosine in PMN activation and recruitment at the site of endothelial injury. Following binding to the injured vessel wall, PMNs are activated and release elastase. The recruitment of PMNs and the subsequent fibrin generation and thrombus formation are strongly affected in mice deficient in the P2X1-ATP receptor and in wild-type (WT) mice treated with CGS 21680, an agonist of the A2A adenosine receptor or NF449, a P2X1 antagonist. Infusion of WT PMNs into P2X1-deficient mice increases fibrin generation but not thrombus formation. Restoration of thrombosis requires infusion of both platelets and PMNs from WT mice. In vitro, ATP activates PMNs, whereas CGS 21680 prevents their binding to activated endothelial cells. These data indicate that adenosine triphosphate (ATP) contributes to polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) activation leading to their adhesion at the site of laser-induced endothelial injury, a necessary step leading to the generation of fibrin, and subsequent platelet-dependent thrombus formation. Altogether, our study identifies previously unknown mechanisms by which ATP and adenosine are key molecules involved in thrombosis by regulating the activation state of PMNs.

Abstract
Excessive levels of the glycolysis metabolite methylglyoxal (MG) elicit enhanced expression of adhesion molecules which foster leukocyte-endothelial cell interactions. The signaling mechanisms involved remain elusive. To address this, we investigated the signal transduction of leukocyte- and endothelial-expressed phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) effector kinases glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) and serum- and glucocorticoid-inducible kinase 1 (SGK1) in the regulation of MG-elicited leukocyte recruitment. Using intravital microscopy of mouse cremasteric microvasculature, we demonstrate that GSK3 inhibitors lithium and SB216763 mitigate MG-elicited leukocyte recruitment and microvascular hyperpermeability. In SVEC4-10EE2 endothelial cells, but not in neutrophils, MG transiently activates GSK3 by reducing inhibitory phospho-GSK3α/β (Ser21/9) which parallels decrease of phospho-Akt at early time points (<30min). At later time points (≥1h), MG induces GSK3 deactivation which is dissipated by siRNA silencing of SGK. MG treatment potentiates endothelial SGK1 mRNA, total SGK1, phospho-SGK1 and phospho-NDRG1. The SGK1 inhibitor GSK650394 attenuates MG-elicited leukocyte recruitment. Pharmacological inhibition or silencing endothelial GSK3 or SGK attenuates MG-triggered nuclear factor (NF)-κB activity. Furthermore, silencing SGK blunts MG-triggered redox-sensitive phosphorylation of endothelial transcription factor CREB. Inhibition of SGK1 or GSK3 mitigates the expression of endothelial adhesion molecules P- and E-selectins and ICAM-1. Moreover, SGK1-dependent CREB activation participates in MG-elicited ICAM-1 upregulation. We conclude that temporal activation of endothelial SGK1 and GSK3 is decisive in MG-elicited upregulation of transcription factors, adhesion molecule expression, and leukocyte-vascular endothelium interactions. This novel signaling pathway may link excessive MG levels in vivo to inflammation, thus, unraveling potential therapeutic targets.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Cancer cells are strongly influenced by host cells within the tumour stroma and vice versa. This leads to the development of a tumour microenvironment with distinct physical and chemical properties that are permissive for tumour progression. The ability to migrate plays a central role in this mutual interaction. Migration of cancer cells is considered as a prerequisite for tumour metastasis and the migration of host stromal cells is required for reaching the tumour site. Increasing evidence suggests that transient receptor potential (TRP) channels and STIM/ORAI proteins affect key calcium-dependent mechanisms implicated in both cancer and stroma cell migration. These include, among others, cytoskeletal remodelling, growth factor/cytokine signalling and production, and adaptation to tumour microenvironmental properties such as hypoxia and oxidative stress. In this review, we will summarize the current knowledge regarding TRP channels and STIM/ORAI proteins in cancer and stroma cell migration. We focus on how TRP channel or STIM/ORAI-mediated Ca(2+) signalling directly or indirectly influences cancer and stroma cell migration by affecting the above listed mechanisms.
