Abstract
Pyroptosis, an inflammatory form of programmed cell death, is linked to the pathology of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Here, we investigated the molecular mechanism underlying pyroptosis in T cells isolated from patients with RA. Compared with healthy individuals, patients with RA had more pyroptotic CD4+ T cells in blood and synovia, which correlated with clinical measures of disease activity. Moreover, the mRNA expression and protein abundance of arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase (ALOX5), which converts arachidonic acid to leukotriene A4 (LTA4), were increased in CD4+ T cells from patients with RA and, among patients with RA, were lowest in those in clinical remission. Knockdown or pharmacological inhibition of ALOX5 suppressed CD4+ T cell pyroptosis and improved symptoms in two rodent models of RA. Mechanistically, the increase in ALOX5 activity in RA CD4+ T cells enhanced the production of the LTA4 derivative LTB4, which stimulated Ca2+ influx through ORAI3 channels, leading to the activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes and pyroptosis. Our findings reveal a role for ALOX5 in RA and provide a molecular basis for further exploring the clinical utility of ALOX5 inhibition in RA and for using ALOX5 as a biomarker to distinguish active disease and remission in RA.

Abstract
Store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) is the main mechanism for the Ca2+ influx in non-excitable cells. The two major components of SOCE are stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) in the endoplasmic reticulum and Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ channel (CRAC) Orai on the plasma membrane. SOCE requires interaction between STIM1 and Orai. Mammals have three Orai homologs: Orai1, Orai2, and Orai3. Although Orai1 has been widely studied and proven to essential for numerous cellular processes, Orai3 has also attracted a significant attention recently. The gating and activation mechanisms of Orai3 have yet to be fully elucidated. Here, we expressed, purified, and reconstituted Orai3 protein into liposomes and investigated its orientation and oligomeric state in the resulting proteoliposomes. STIM1 interacted with the Orai3-containing proteoliposomes and mediated calcium release from the them, suggesting that the Orai3 channel was functional and that recombinant STIM1 could directly open the Orai3 channel in vitro. The developed in vitro calcium release system could be used to study the structure, function, and pharmacology of Orai3 channel.

Abstract
Endothelial cell (EC) migration is critical for the repair of monolayer disruption following angioplasties, but migration is inhibited by lipid oxidation products, including lysophosphatidylcholine (lysoPC), which open canonical transient receptor potential 6 (TRPC6) channels. TRPC6 activation requires an increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), the source of which is unknown. LysoPC can activate phospholipase A2 to release arachidonic acid (ArA). ArA can activate arachidonic acid-regulated calcium (ARC) channels that are formed by stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) and Orai1 and Orai3 proteins. Both lysoPC and ArA can activate p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) that induces the phosphorylation required for STIM1-Orai3 association. This is accompanied by an increase in [Ca2+]i and TRPC6 externalization. The effect of lysoPC and ArA is not additive, suggesting activation of the same pathway. The increase in [Ca2+]i activates an Src kinase that leads to TRPC6 activation. Downregulation of Orai3 using siRNA blocks the lysoPC- or ArA-induced increase in [Ca2+]i and TRPC6 externalization and preserves EC migration. These data show that lysoPC induces activation of p38 MAPK, which leads to STIM1-Orai3 association and increased [Ca2+]i. This increase in [Ca2+]i activates an Src kinase leading to TRPC6 externalization, which initiates a cascade of events ending in cytoskeletal changes that disrupt EC migration. Blocking this pathway preserves EC migration in the presence of lipid oxidation products.NEW & NOTEWORTHY The major lysophospholipid component in oxidized LDL, lysophosphatidylcholine (lysoPC), can activate p38 MAP kinase, which in turn promotes externalization of Orai3 and STIM1-Orai3 association, suggesting involvement of arachidonic acid-regulated calcium (ARC) channels. The subsequent increase in intracellular calcium activates an Src kinase required for TRPC6 externalization. TRPC6 activation, which has been shown to inhibit endothelial cell migration, is blocked by p38 MAP kinase or Orai3 downregulation, and this partially preserves endothelial migration in lysoPC.

Abstract
Store operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) is a cornerstone for the maintenance of intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis and the regulation of a variety of cellular functions. SOCE is mediated by STIM and Orai proteins following the activation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors. Then, a reduction of the endoplasmic reticulum intraluminal Ca2+ concentration is sensed by STIM proteins, which undergo a conformational change and activate plasma membrane Ca2+ channels comprised by Orai proteins. STIM1/Orai-mediated Ca2+ signals are finely regulated and modulate the activity of different transcription factors, including certain isoforms of the nuclear factor of activated T-cells, the cAMP-response element binding protein, the nuclear factor κ-light chain-enhancer of activated B cells, c-fos, and c-myc. These transcription factors associate SOCE with a plethora of signaling events and cellular functions. Here we provide an overview of the current knowledge about the role of Orai channels in the regulation of transcription factors through Ca2+ -dependent signaling pathways.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a multifaceted clinicopathological syndrome characterised by excessive hepatic lipid accumulation that causes steatosis, excluding alcoholic factors. Platelet-activating factor (PAF), a biologically active lipid transmitter, induces platelet activation upon binding to the PAF receptor. Recent studies have found that PAF is associated with gamma-glutamyl transferase, which is an indicator of liver disease. Moreover, PAF can stimulate hepatic lipid synthesis and cause hypertriglyceridaemia. Furthermore, the knockdown of the PAF receptor gene in the animal models of NAFLD helped reduce the inflammatory response, improve glucose homeostasis and delay the development of NAFLD. These findings suggest that PAF is associated with NAFLD development. According to reports, patients with NAFLD or animal models have marked platelet activation abnormalities, mainly manifested as enhanced platelet adhesion and aggregation and altered blood rheology. Pharmacological interventions were accompanied by remission of abnormal platelet activation and significant improvement in liver function and lipids in the animal model of NAFLD. These confirm that platelet activation may accompany a critical importance in NAFLD development and progression. However, how PAFs are involved in the NAFLD signalling pathway needs further investigation. In this paper, we review the relevant literature in recent years and discuss the role played by PAF in NAFLD development. It is important to elucidate the pathogenesis of NAFLD and to find effective interventions for treatment.

Abstract
The mammalian exclusive Orai3 channel participates in the generation and/or modulation of two independent Ca2+ currents, the store-operated current, Icrac, involving functional interactions between the stromal interaction molecules (STIM), STIM1/STIM2, and Orai1/Orai2/Orai3, as well as the store-independent arachidonic acid (AA) (or leukotriene C4)-regulated current Iarc, which involves Orai1, Orai3 and STIM1. Overexpression of functional Orai3 has been described in different neoplastic cells and cancer tissue samples as compared to non-tumor cells or normal adjacent tissue. In these cells, Orai3 exhibits a cell-specific relevance in Ca2+ influx. In estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cells and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) is strongly dependent on Orai3 expression while in colorectal cancer and pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells Orai3 predominantly modulates SOCE. On the other hand, in prostate cancer cells Orai3 expression has been associated with the formation of Orai1/Orai3 heteromeric channels regulated by AA and reduction in SOCE, thus leading to enhanced proliferation. Orai3 overexpression is associated with supporting several cancer hallmarks, including cell cycle progression, proliferation, migration, and apoptosis resistance. This review summarizes the current knowledge concerning the functional role of Orai3 in the pathogenesis of cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) refers to a decrease in the number and quality of oocytes in the ovary, which results in a lack of sex hormones and a decline of fertility in women. DOR can potentially progress to premature ovarian failure (POF), which has a negative impact on women's quality of life and is a major cause of female infertility. Oxidative stress is a major contributor to fertility decrease in DOR patients, affecting the follicular microenvironment, oocyte maturation, fertilization, and embryo development. Understanding intracellular signal transduction can be achieved by defining specific oxidized lipid components in follicular fluid (FF) of DOR infertile patients. METHODS The oxylipins metabolic signatures in the FF of DOR patients and females with normal ovarian reserve (NOR) enrolled for the in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle were analyzed using UHPLC-MS-MS technology. Principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal projections to latent structure discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) were used to analyze the derived metabolomic profiles. Pathway enrichment analysis was carried out using the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and MetaboAnalyst databases. Furthermore, the Spearman rank correlation coefficient was used to determine the correlation between age, FSH, AMH, AFC, oocytes retrieved, MII oocytes, fertilization, high-quality embryos, and the concentration of differential oxidized lipid metabolites in FF. RESULTS Fifteen oxylipins metabolites were found to be lower in the FF of DOR patients than those in the NOR group, including ±20-HDoHE, ±5-iso PGF2α-VI, 12S-HHTrE, 15-deoxy-Δ12,14-PGJ2, 1a,1b-dihomo PGE2, 1a,1b-dihomo PGF2α, 20-COOH-AA, 20-HETE, 8S,15S-DiHETE, PGA2, PGD2, PGE1, PGF1α, PGF2α, and PGJ2. The pathway enrichment analysis revealed that the 15 differentially oxidized lipid metabolites were closely related to the arachidonic acid metabolic pathway. Correlation analysis revealed that the concentration of 8 different oxidized lipid metabolites in FF was negatively correlated to FSH and positively correlated with AFC. AMH, the number of oocytes retrieved, MII oocytes and fertilization, were all positively correlated with 9 different oxidized lipid metabolites, but only one metabolite was positively correlated with the number of high-quality embryos. CONCLUSIONS Metabolomic analysis of FF revealed that oxylipins metabolism disorders were closely related to ovarian reserve function. Among these oxylipins metabolites, arachidonic acid metabolism undergoes significant changes that may be related to oocyte development, resulting in decreased fertility in DOR patients.

Abstract
Ca2+ ion channels are critical in a variety of physiological events, including cell growth, differentiation, gene transcription and apoptosis. One such essential entry pathway for calcium into the cell is the Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channel. It consists of the Ca2+ sensing protein, stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and a Ca2+ ion channel Orai in the plasma membrane. The Orai channel family includes three homologues Orai1, Orai2 and Orai3. While Orai1 is the "classical" Ca2+ ion channel within the CRAC channel complex and plays a universal role in the human body, there is increasing evidence that Orai2 and Orai3 are important in specific physiological and pathophysiological processes. This makes them an attractive target in drug discovery, but requires a detailed understanding of the three Orai channels and, in particular, their differences. Orai channel activation is initiated via Ca2+ store depletion, which is sensed by STIM1 proteins, and induces their conformational change and oligomerization. Upon STIM1 coupling, Orai channels activate to allow Ca2+ permeation into the cell. While this activation mechanism is comparable among the isoforms, they differ by a number of functional and structural properties due to non-conserved regions in their sequences. In this review, we summarize the knowledge as well as open questions in our current understanding of the three isoforms in terms of their structure/function relationship, downstream signaling and physiology as well as pathophysiology.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) are two distinct autoimmune diseases that manifest with chronic synovial inflammation. Here, we show that CD4+ T cells from patients with RA and PsA have increased expression of the pore-forming calcium channel component ORAI3, thereby increasing the activity of the arachidonic acid-regulated calcium-selective (ARC) channel and making T cells sensitive to arachidonic acid. A similar increase does not occur in T cells from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Increased ORAI3 transcription in RA and PsA T cells is caused by reduced IKAROS expression, a transcriptional repressor of the ORAI3 promoter. Stimulation of the ARC channel with arachidonic acid induces not only a calcium influx, but also the phosphorylation of components of the T cell receptor signaling cascade. In a human synovium chimeric mouse model, silencing ORAI3 expression in adoptively transferred T cells from patients with RA attenuates tissue inflammation, while adoptive transfer of T cells from healthy individuals with reduced expression of IKAROS induces synovitis. We propose that increased ARC activity due to reduced IKAROS expression makes T cells more responsive and contributes to chronic inflammation in RA and PsA. ORAI3 is part of pore forming calcium channels involved in T cell activation. Here the authors show that there is increased expression of ORAI3 in T cells from patients with rheumatoid arthritis and that the transcription factor IKAROS negatively regulates the ORAI3 promoter, indicating a regulatory loop that can control auto-reactivity of T cells in these patients.

[PMID: 32392840 PMCID: PMC7247542 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21093315] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2020] [Revised: 04/30/2020] [Accepted: 05/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Arachidonic acid (AA) is a phospholipase A2 metabolite that has been reported to mediate a plethora of cellular mechanisms involved in healthy and pathological states such as platelet aggregation, lymphocyte activation, and tissue inflammation. AA has been described to activate Ca2+ entry through the arachidonate-regulated Ca2+-selective channels (ARC channels). Here, the analysis of the changes in the intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis revealed that, despite MDA-MB-231 cells expressing the ARC channel components Orai1, Orai3, and STIM1, AA does not evoke Ca2+ entry in these cells. We observed that AA evokes Ca2+ entry in MDA-MB-231 cells transiently expressing ARC channels. Nevertheless, MDA-MB-231 cell treatment with AA reduces cell proliferation and migration while inducing cell death through apoptosis. The latter mostly likely occurs via mitochondria membrane depolarization and the activation of caspases-3, -8, and -9. Altogether, our results indicate that AA exerts anti-tumoral effects on MDA-MB-231 cells, without having any effect on non-tumoral breast epithelial cells, by a mechanism that is independent on the activation of Ca2+ influx via ARC channels.

Abstract
Early adaptive cardiac hypertrophy (EACH) is initially a compensatory process to optimize pump function. We reported the emergence of Orai3 activity during EACH. This study aimed to characterize how inflammation regulates store-independent activation of Orai3-calcium influx and to evaluate the functional role of this influx. Isoproterenol infusion or abdominal aortic banding triggered EACH. TNFα or conditioned medium from cardiac CD11b/c cells activated either in vivo [isolated from rats displaying EACH], or in vitro [isolated from normal rats and activated with lipopolysaccharide], were added to adult cardiomyocytes before measuring calcium entry, cell hypertrophy and cell injury. Using intramyocardial injection of siRNA, Orai3 was in vivo knockdown during EACH to evaluate its protective activity in heart failure. Inflammatory CD11b/c cells trigger a store-independent calcium influx in hypertrophied cardiomyocytes, that is mimicked by TNFα. Pharmacological or molecular (siRNA) approaches demonstrate that this calcium influx, depends on TNFR2, is Orai3-driven, and elicits cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and resistance to oxidative stress. Neutralization of Orai3 inhibits protective GSK3β phosphorylation, impairs EACH and accelerates heart failure. Orai3 exerts a pathophysiological protective impact in EACH promoting hypertrophy and resistance to oxidative stress. We highlight inflammation arising from CD11b/c cells as a potential trigger of TNFR2- and Orai3-dependent signaling pathways.

Abstract
Ca2+ channels play an important role in the development of different types of cancer, and considerable progress has been made to understand the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the role of Ca2+ influx in the development of different cancer hallmarks. Orai1 is among the most ubiquitous and multifunctional Ca2+ channels. Orai1 mediates the highly Ca2+-selective Ca2+ release-activated current (ICRAC) and participates in the less Ca2+-selective store-operated current (ISOC), along with STIM1 or STIM1 and TRPC1, respectively. Furthermore, Orai1 contributes to a variety of store-independent Ca2+ influx mechanisms, including the arachidonate-regulated Ca2+ current, together with Orai3 and the plasma membrane resident pool of STIM1, as well as the constitutive Ca2+ influx processes activated by the secretory pathway Ca2+-ATPase-2 (SPCA2) or supported by physical and functional interaction with the small conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channel 3 (SK3) or the voltage-dependent Kv10.1 channel. This review summarizes the current knowledge concerning the store-independent mechanisms of Ca2+ influx activation through Orai1 channels and their role in the development of different cancer features.

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

Abstract
Stromal interaction molecules (STIM) 1 and 2 are sensors of the calcium concentration in the endoplasmic reticulum. Depletion of endoplasmic reticulum calcium stores activates STIM proteins which, in turn, bind and open calcium channels in the plasma membrane formed by the proteins ORAI1, ORAI2, and ORAI3. The resulting store-operated calcium entry (SOCE), mostly controlled by the principal components STIM1 and ORAI1, has been particularly characterized in immune cells. In the nervous system, all STIM and ORAI homologs are expressed. This review summarizes current knowledge on distribution and function of STIM and ORAI proteins in central neurons and glial cells, i.e. astrocytes and microglia. STIM2 is required for SOCE in hippocampal synapses and cortical neurons, whereas STIM1 controls calcium store replenishment in cerebellar Purkinje neurons. In microglia, STIM1, STIM2, and ORAI1 regulate migration and phagocytosis. The isoforms ORAI2 and ORAI3 are candidates for SOCE channels in neurons and astrocytes, respectively. Due to the role of SOCE in neuronal and glial calcium homeostasis, dysfunction of STIM and ORAI proteins may have consequences for the development of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
Orai1 subunits interacting with STIM1 molecules comprise the major components responsible for calcium release-activated calcium (CRAC) channels. The homologs Orai2 and Orai3 yield smaller store-operated currents when overexpressed and are mostly unable to substitute Orai1. Orai3 subunits are also essential components of store independent channel complexes and also tune inhibition of ICRAC by reactive oxygen species. Here we use patch-clamp, microscopy, Ca(2+)-imaging and biochemical experiments to investigate the interdependence of Orai2, Orai3 and Orai1. We demonstrate that store-operation and localization of Orai3 but not of Orai2 to STIM1 clusters in HEK cells or to the immunological synapse in T cells is facilitated by Orai1 while Orai3's store-independent activity remains unaffected. On the other hand, one Orai3 subunit confers redox-resistance to heteromeric channels. The inefficient store operation of Orai3 is partly due to the lack of three critical C-terminal residues, the insertion of which improves interaction with STIM1 and abrogates Orai3's dependence on Orai1. Our results suggest that Orai3 down-tunes efficient STIM1 gating when in a heteromeric complex with Orai1.

Abstract
Orai proteins contribute to Ca(2+) entry into cells through both store-dependent, Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channels (Orai1) and store-independent, arachidonic acid (AA)-regulated Ca(2+) (ARC) and leukotriene C4 (LTC4)-regulated Ca(2+) (LRC) channels (Orai1/3 heteromultimers). Although activated by fundamentally different mechanisms, CRAC channels, like ARC and LRC channels, require stromal interacting molecule 1 (STIM1). The role of endoplasmic reticulum-resident STIM1 (ER-STIM1) in CRAC channel activation is widely accepted. Although ER-STIM1 is necessary and sufficient for LRC channel activation in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), the minor pool of STIM1 located at the plasma membrane (PM-STIM1) is necessary for ARC channel activation in HEK293 cells. To determine whether ARC and LRC conductances are mediated by the same or different populations of STIM1, Orai1, and Orai3 proteins, we used whole-cell and perforated patch-clamp recording to compare AA- and LTC4-activated currents in VSMCs and HEK293 cells. We found that both cell types show indistinguishable nonadditive LTC4- and AA-activated currents that require both Orai1 and Orai3, suggesting that both conductances are mediated by the same channel. Experiments using a nonmetabolizable form of AA or an inhibitor of 5-lipooxygenase suggested that ARC and LRC currents in both cell types could be activated by either LTC4 or AA, with LTC4 being more potent. Although PM-STIM1 was required for current activation by LTC4 and AA under whole-cell patch-clamp recordings in both cell types, ER-STIM1 was sufficient with perforated patch recordings. These results demonstrate that ARC and LRC currents are mediated by the same cellular populations of STIM1, Orai1, and Orai3, and suggest a complex role for both ER-STIM1 and PM-STIM1 in regulating these store-independent Orai1/3 channels.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum is the main intracellular Ca(2+) store for Ca(2+) release during cell signaling. There are different strategies to avoid ER Ca(2+) depletion. Release channels utilize first Ca(2+)-bound to proteins and this minimizes the reduction of the free luminal [Ca(2+)]. However, if release channels stay open after exhaustion of Ca(2+)-bound to proteins, then the reduction of the free luminal ER [Ca(2+)] (via STIM proteins) activates Ca(2+) entry at the plasma membrane to restore the ER Ca(2+) load, which will work provided that SERCA pump is active. Nevertheless, there are several noxious conditions that result in decreased activity of the SERCA pump such as oxidative stress, inflammatory cytokines, and saturated fatty acids, among others. These conditions result in a deficient restoration of the ER [Ca(2+)] and lead to the ER stress response that should facilitate recovery of the ER. However, if the stressful condition persists then ER stress ends up triggering cell death and the ensuing degenerative process leads to diverse pathologies; particularly insulin resistance, diabetes and several of the complications associated with diabetes. This scenario suggests that limiting ER stress should decrease the incidence of diabetes and the mobility and mortality associated with this illness.

Abstract
Store-operated calcium (Ca(2+)) entry (SOCE) can be mediated by two novel proteins, STIM/Orai. We have previously demonstrated that members of the TRPC family, putative basal and store operated calcium entry channels, are present in human myometrium and regulated by labor associated stimuli IL-1β and mechanical stretch. Although STIM and Orai isoforms (1-3) have been reported in other smooth muscle cell types, there is little known about the expression or gestational regulation of STIM and Orai expression in human myometrium. Total RNA was isolated from lower segment human myometrial biopsies obtained at Cesarean section from women at the time of preterm no labor (PTNL), preterm labor (PTL), term non-labor (TNL), and term with labor (TL); primary cultured human uterine smooth muscle cells, and a human myometrial cell line (hTERT-HM). STIM1-2, and Orai1-3 mRNA expression was assessed by quantitative real-time PCR. All five genes were expressed in myometrial tissue and cultured cells. STIM1-2 and Orai2-3 expression was significantly lower in cultured cells compared tissue. This has implications with regard investigation of the contribution of these proteins in cultured cells. Orai2 was the most abundant Orai isoform in human myometrium. Expression of STIM1-2/Orai1-3 did not alter with the onset of labor. Orai1 mRNA expression in cultured cells was enhanced by IL-1β treatment. This novel report of STIM1-2 and Orai1-3 mRNA expression in pregnant human myometrium and Orai1 regulation by IL-1β indicates a potential role for these proteins in calcium signaling in human myometrium during pregnancy.

Abstract
Plasma-membrane-localized Orai1 ion channel subunits interacting with ER-localized STIM1 molecules comprise the major subunit composition responsible for calcium release-activated calcium channels. STIM1 "translates" the Ca(2+) store content into Orai1 activity, making it a store-operated channel. Surprisingly, in addition to being the physical activator, STIM1 also modulates Orai1 properties, including its inactivation and permeation (see Chapter 1). STIM1 is thus more than a pure Orai1 activator. Within the past 7 years following the discovery of STIM and Orai proteins, the molecular mechanisms of STIM1/Orai1 activity and their functional importance have been studied in great detail. Much less is currently known about the other isoforms STIM2, Orai2, and Orai3. In this chapter, we summarize the current knowledge about STIM2, Orai2, and Orai3 properties and function. Are these homologues mainly modulators of predominantly STIM1/Orai1-mediated complexes or do store-dependent or -independent functions such as regulation of basal Ca(2+) concentration and activation of Orai3-containing complexes by arachidonic acid or by estrogen receptors point toward their "true" physiological function? Is Orai2 the Orai1 of neurons? A major focus of the review is on the functional relevance of STIM2, Orai2, and Orai3, some of which still remains speculative.

Abstract
The discovery of the Orai proteins, and the identification of STIM1 as the molecule that regulates them, was based on their role in the agonist-activated store-operated entry of calcium via the CRAC channels. However, these same proteins are also essential components of the ARC channels responsible for a similar agonist-activated, but store-independent, arachidonic acid-regulated entry of calcium. The fact that these 2 biophysically similar calcium entry pathways frequently co-exist in the same cells suggests that they must each possess different features that allow them to function in distinct ways to regulate specific cellular activities. This review begins to address this question by describing recent findings characterizing the unique features of the ARC channels--their molecular composition, STIM1-dependent activation, and physiological activities--and the importance of defining such features for the accurate therapeutic targeting of these 2 Orai channel subtypes.

Abstract
Ca(2+) influx via store-operated Ca(2+) release activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channels represents a main signaling pathway for T-cell activation as well as mast-cell degranulation. The ER-located Ca(2+)-sensor, STIM1 and the Ca(2+)-selective ion pore, Orai1 in the membrane are sufficient to fully reconstitute CRAC currents. Their identification, but even more the recent structural resolution of both proteins by X-ray crystallography has substantially advanced the understanding of the activation mechanism of CRAC channels. In this review, we provide a detailed description of the STIM1/Orai1 signaling pathway thereby focusing on the critical domains mediating both, intra- as well as intermolecular interactions and on the ion permeation pathway. Based on the results of functional studies as well as the recently published crystal structures, we portray a mechanistic view of the steps in the CRAC channel signaling cascade ranging from STIM1 oligomerization over STIM1-Orai1 coupling to the ultimate Orai1 channel activation and permeation.

Abstract
The regulation of intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) plays a critical role in a variety of cellular processes, including transcription, protein activation, vesicle trafficking, and ion movement across epithelial cells. In many cells, the activation of phospholipase C-coupled receptors hydrolyzes membrane phosphoinositides and produces the depletion of endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ stores, followed by the sustained elevation of [Ca2+]i from Ca2+ entry across the plasma membrane via store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE). Ca2+ entry is also increased in a store-independent manner by arachidonate-regulated Ca2+ (ARC) channels. Using rat parotid salivary gland cells, we examined multiple pathways of Ca2+ entry/elevation to determine if they activated cell signaling proteins and whether this occurred in a pathway-dependent manner. We observed that SOCE activates extracellular signal-related kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) to ∼3-times basal levels via a receptor-independent mechanism when SOCE was initiated by depleting Ca2+ stores using the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase inhibitor thapsigargin (TG). TG-initiated ERK1/2 phosphorylation increased as rapidly as that initiated by the muscarinic receptor agonist carbachol, which promoted an increase to ∼5-times basal levels. Notably, ERK1/2 phosphorylation was not increased by the global elevation of [Ca2+]i by Ca2+ ionophore or by Ca2+ entry via ARC channels in native cells, although ERK1/2 phosphorylation was increased by Ca2+ ionophore in Par-C10 and HSY salivary cell lines. Agents and conditions that blocked SOCE in native cells, including 2-aminoethyldiphenyl borate (2-APB), SKF96363, and removal of extracellular Ca2+, also reduced TG- and carbachol-stimulated ERK1/2 phosphorylation. TG-promoted ERK1/2 phosphorylation was blocked when SRC and Protein Kinases C (PKC) were inhibited, and it was blocked in cells pretreated with β-adrenergic agonist isoproterenol. These observations demonstrate that ERK1/2 is activated by a selective mechanism of Ca2+ entry (SOCE) in these cells, and suggest that ERK1/2 may contribute to events downstream of SOCE.

Abstract
We recently showed, in primary vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), that the platelet-derived growth factor activates canonical store-operated Ca(2+) entry and Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) currents encoded by Orai1 and STIM1 genes. However, thrombin activates store-independent Ca(2+) selective channels contributed by both Orai3 and Orai1. These store-independent Orai3/Orai1 channels are gated by cytosolic leukotriene C4 (LTC4) and require STIM1 downstream LTC4 action. However, the source of LTC4 and the signaling mechanisms of STIM1 in the activation of this LTC4-regulated Ca(2+) (LRC) channel are unknown. Here, we show that upon thrombin stimulation, LTC4 is produced through the sequential activities of phospholipase C, diacylglycerol lipase, 5-lipo-oxygenease, and leukotriene C4 synthase. We show that the endoplasmic reticulum-resident STIM1 is necessary and sufficient for LRC channel activation by thrombin. STIM1 does not form sustained puncta and does not colocalize with Orai1 either under basal conditions or in response to thrombin. However, STIM1 is precoupled to Orai3 and Orai3/Orai1 channels under basal conditions as shown using Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) imaging. The second coiled-coil domain of STIM1 is required for coupling to either Orai3 or Orai3/Orai1 channels and for LRC channel activation. We conclude that STIM1 employs distinct mechanisms in the activation of store-dependent and store-independent Ca(2+) entry pathways.

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

Abstract
A specialized Ca(2+) transient at fertilization represents the universal driver for the egg-to-embryo transition. Ca(2+) signaling remodels during oocyte maturation to endow the egg with the capacity to produce the specialized Ca(2+) transient at fertilization, which takes the form of a single (e.g. Xenopus) or multiple (e.g. mouse) Ca(2+) spikes depending on the species. Store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) is the predominant Ca(2+) influx pathway in vertebrate oocytes, and in Xenopus SOCE completely inactivates during meiosis. Here, we show that SOCE is downregulated during mouse meiosis, but remains active in mature metaphase II eggs. SOCE inhibition is due to a decreased ability of the Ca(2+) sensor STIM1 to translocate to the cortical endoplasmic reticulum domain and due to internalization of Orai1. Reversing SOCE downregulation by overexpression of STIM1 and Orai1 prolongs the Ca(2+) oscillations at egg activation and disrupts the egg-to-embryo transition. Thus, SOCE downregulation during mammalian oocyte maturation is a crucial determinant of the fertilization-specific Ca(2+) transient, egg activation and early embryonic development.

Abstract
Although Orai channels and their regulator stromal interacting molecule 1 (STIM1) were originally identified and described as the key components of the store-operated highly calcium-selective CRAC channels, it is now clear that these proteins are equally essential components of the agonist-activated, store-independent calcium entry pathway mediated by the arachidonic acid-regulated calcium-selective (ARC) channel. Correspondingly, ARC channels display biophysical properties that closely resemble those of CRAC channels but, whereas the latter is formed exclusively by Orai1 subunits, the ARC channel is formed by a combination of Orai1 and Orai3 subunits. Moreover, while STIM1 in the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum is the critical sensor of intracellular calcium store depletion that results in the activation of the CRAC channels, it is the pool of STIM1 resident in the plasma membrane that regulates the activity of the store-independent ARC channels. Here, we describe the unique features of the ARC channels and their activation and discuss recent evidence indicating how these two coexisting, and biophysically very similar, Orai channels act to play entirely distinct roles in the regulation of various important cellular activities.

Abstract
Stromal interaction molecules (STIM1 and STIM2) are single pass transmembrane proteins located mainly in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). STIM proteins contain an EF-hand in their N-termini that faces the lumen side of the ER allowing them to act as ER calcium (Ca(2+)) sensors. STIM1 has been recognized as central to the activation of the highly Ca(2+) selective store-operated Ca(2+) (SOC) entry current mediated by the Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channel; CRAC channels are formed by tetramers of the plasma membrane (PM) protein Orai1. Physiologically, the production of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) upon stimulation of phospholipase C-coupled receptors and the subsequent emptying of IP(3)-sensitive ER Ca(2+) stores are sensed by STIM1 molecules which aggregate and move closer to the PM to interact physically with Orai1 channels and activate Ca(2+) entry. Orai1 has two homologous proteins encoded by separate genes, Orai2 and Orai3. Other modes of receptor-regulated Ca(2+) entry into cells are store-independent; for example, arachidonic acid activates a highly Ca(2+) selective store-independent channel formed by heteropentamers of Orai1 and Orai3 and regulated by the PM pool of STIM1. Here, I will discuss results pertaining to the roles of STIM and Orai proteins in smooth muscle Ca(2+) entry pathways and their role in vascular remodelling.

Abstract
Ca(2+) release activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channels mediate robust Ca(2+) influx when the endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) stores are depleted. This essential process for T-cell activation as well as degranulation of mast cells involves the Ca(2+) sensor STIM1, located in the endoplasmic reticulum and the Ca(2+) selective Orai1 channel in the plasma membrane. Our review describes the CRAC signaling pathway, the activation of which is initiated by a drop in the endoplasmic Ca(2+) level sensed by STIM1. This in term induces multimerisation and puncta-formation of STIM1 proteins is followed by their coupling to and activation of Orai channels. Consequently Ca(2+) entry is triggered through the Orai pore into the cytosol with subsequent closure of the channel by Ca(2+)-dependent inactivation. We will portray a mechanistic view of the events coupling STIM1 to Orai activation based on their structure and biophysics.

Abstract
The ARC channel is a small conductance, highly Ca²⁺-selective ion channel whose activation is specifically dependent on low concentrations of arachidonic acid acting at an intracellular site. They are widely distributed in diverse cell types where they provide an alternative, store-independent pathway for agonist-activated Ca²⁺ entry. Although biophysically similar to the store-operated CRAC channels, these two conductances function under distinct conditions of agonist stimulation, with the ARC channels providing the predominant route of Ca²⁺ entry during the oscillatory signals generated at low agonist concentrations. Despite these differences in function, like the CRAC channel, activation of the ARC channels is dependent on STIM1, but it is the pool of STIM1 that constitutively resides in the plasma membrane that is responsible. Similarly, both channels are formed by Orai proteins but, whilst the CRAC channel pore is a tetrameric assembly of Orai1 subunits, the ARC channel pore is formed by a heteropentameric assembly of three Orai1 subunits and two Orai3 subunits. There is increasing evidence that the activity of these channels plays a critical role in a variety of different cellular activities.

Abstract
Store-operated calcium channels (SOCs) are a nearly ubiquitous Ca(2+) entry pathway stimulated by numerous cell surface receptors via the reduction of Ca(2+) concentration in the ER. The discovery of STIM proteins as ER Ca(2+) sensors and Orai proteins as structural components of the Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channel, a prototypic SOC, opened the floodgates for exploring the molecular mechanism of this pathway and its functions. This review focuses on recent advances made possible by the use of STIM and Orai as molecular tools. I will describe our current understanding of the store-operated Ca(2+) entry mechanism and its emerging roles in physiology and disease, areas of uncertainty in which further progress is needed, and recent findings that are opening new directions for research in this rapidly growing field.

Abstract
The field of agonist-activated Ca(2+) entry in non-excitable cells underwent a revolution some 5 years ago with the discovery of the Orai proteins as the essential pore-forming components of the low-conductance, highly Ca(2+)-selective CRAC channels whose activation is dependent on depletion of intracellular stores. Mammals possess three distinct Orai proteins (Orai1, 2 and 3) of which Orai3 is unique to this class, apparently evolving from Orai1. However, the sequence of Orai3 shows marked differences from that of Orai1, particularly in those regions of the protein outside of the essential pore-forming domains. Correspondingly, studies from several different groups have indicated that the inclusion of Orai3 is associated with the appearance of conductances that display unique features in their gating, selectivity, regulation and mode of activation. In this Topical Review, these features are discussed with the purpose of proposing that the evolutionary appearance of Orai3 in mammals, and the consequent development of conductances displaying novel properties - whether formed by Orai3 alone or in conjunction with the other Orai proteins - is associated with the specific role of this member of the Orai family in a unique range of distinct cellular activities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Arachidonic acid (AA, and its leukotriene derivatives, e.g., LTB(4)) is an inflammatory mediator in post-shock mesenteric lymph that appears to act as an agonist on G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). These mediators prime neutrophils (PMNs) for an increased production of superoxide, implicated in the development of acute lung injury (ALI). Hypertonic saline (HTS) has also been shown to have immunomodulatory effects such as attenuation of PMN priming by precluding appropriate clathrin-mediated endocytosis of activated GPCRs, thereby potentially attenuating ALI. We hypothesize that HTS inhibits priming of the PMN oxidase by these lipid mediators. METHODS After PMNs were isolated from healthy donors, incubation was done in either isotonic buffer (control) or HTS (180 mmol/L) for 5 min at 37°C. The PMNs were then primed for 10 min with AA [5 μM] or 5 min with LTB(4) [1 μM] and the oxidase was activated with 200 ng/mL of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), a non-GPCR activator, and superoxide anion generation was measured via reduction of cytochrome c. RESULTS Both AA [5 μM] and LTB(4) [1 μM] significantly primed the PMA activated respiratory burst (P < 0.05, ANOVA, Newman-Keuls, n = 4). HTS inhibited both AA and LTB(4) priming of the respiratory burst. CONCLUSIONS These data indicate that HTS reduces the cytotoxicity of PMNs stimulated by these lipid mediators in vitro and further support the immunomodulatory effects of HTS.
