Abstract
Chronic infections induce a complex immune response that controls pathogen replication, but also causes pathology due to sustained inflammation. Ca2+ influx mediates T cell function and immunity to infection, and patients with inherited mutations in the gene encoding the Ca2+ channel ORAI1 or its activator stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) are immunodeficient and prone to chronic infection by various pathogens, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Here, we demonstrate that STIM1 is required for T cell-mediated immune regulation during chronic Mtb infection. Compared with WT animals, mice with T cell-specific Stim1 deletion died prematurely during the chronic phase of infection and had increased bacterial burdens and severe pulmonary inflammation, with increased myeloid and lymphoid cell infiltration. Although STIM1-deficient T cells exhibited markedly reduced IFN-γ production during the early phase of Mtb infection, bacterial growth was not immediately exacerbated. During the chronic phase, however, STIM1-deficient T cells displayed enhanced IFN-γ production in response to elevated levels of IL-12 and IL-18. The lack of STIM1 in T cells was associated with impaired activation-induced cell death upon repeated TCR engagement and pulmonary lymphocytosis and hyperinflammation in Mtb-infected mice. Chronically Mtb-infected, STIM1-deficient mice had reduced levels of inducible regulatory T cells (iTregs) due to a T cell-intrinsic requirement for STIM1 in iTreg differentiation and excessive production of IFN-γ and IL-12, which suppress iTreg differentiation and maintenance. Thus, STIM1 controls multiple aspects of T cell-mediated immune regulation to limit injurious inflammation during chronic infection.

Abstract
A central component of receptor-evoked Ca(2+) signaling is store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE), which is activated by the assembly of STIM1-Orai1 channels in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and plasma membrane (PM) (ER-PM) junctions in response to depletion of ER Ca(2+). We report that STIM2 enhances agonist-mediated activation of SOCE by promoting STIM1 clustering in ER-PM junctions at low stimulus intensities. Targeted deletion of STIM2 in mouse salivary glands diminished fluid secretion in vivo and SOCE activation in dispersed salivary acinar cells stimulated with low concentrations of muscarinic receptor agonists. STIM2 knockdown in human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells diminished agonist-induced Ca(2+) signaling and nuclear translocation of NFAT (nuclear factor of activated T cells). STIM2 lacking five carboxyl-terminal amino acid residues did not promote formation of STIM1 puncta at low concentrations of agonist, whereas coexpression of STIM2 with STIM1 mutant lacking the polybasic region STIM1ΔK resulted in co-clustering of both proteins. Together, our findings suggest that STIM2 recruits STIM1 to ER-PM junctions at low stimulus intensities when ER Ca(2+) stores are mildly depleted, thus increasing the sensitivity of Ca(2+) signaling to agonists.

Abstract
Calcium signaling is critical for lymphocyte function, and intracellular Ca2+ concentrations are regulated by store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) through Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channels. In patients, loss-of-function mutations in CRAC channel components ORAI1 and STIM1 abolish SOCE and are associated with recurrent and chronic viral infections. Here, using mice with conditional deletion of Stim1 and its homolog Stim2 in T cells, we determined that both components are required for the maintenance of virus-specific memory CD8+ T cells and recall responses following secondary infection. In the absence of STIM1 and STIM2, acute viral infections became chronic. Early during infection, STIM1 and STIM2 were required for the differentiation of naive CD8+ T cells into fully functional cytolytic effector cells and mediated the production of cytokines and prevented cellular exhaustion in viral-specific CD8+ effector T cells. Importantly, memory and recall responses by CD8+ T cells required expression of STIM1 and STIM2 in CD4+ T cells. CD4+ T cells lacking STIM1 and STIM2 were unable to provide "help" to CD8+ T cells due to aberrant regulation of CD40L expression. Together, our data indicate that STIM1, STIM2, and CRAC channel function play distinct but synergistic roles in CD4+ and CD8+ T cells during antiviral immunity.

Abstract
Mushroom dendritic spine structures are essential for memory storage, and the loss of mushroom spines may explain memory defects in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here we show a significant reduction in the fraction of mushroom spines in hippocampal neurons from the presenilin-1 M146V knockin (KI) mouse model of familial AD (FAD). The stabilization of mushroom spines depends on STIM2-mediated neuronal store-operated calcium influx (nSOC) and continuous activity of Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII). We demonstrate that STIM2-nSOC-CaMKII pathway is compromised in KI neurons, in aging neurons, and in sporadic AD brains due to downregulation of STIM2 protein. We further establish that overexpression of STIM2 rescues synaptic nSOC, CaMKII activity, and mushroom spine loss in KI neurons. Our results identify STIM2-nSOC-CaMKII synaptic maintenance pathway as a novel potential therapeutic target for treatment of AD and age-related memory decline.

Abstract
Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) is a major mechanism of Ca2+ import from extracellular to intracellular space, involving detection of Ca2+ store depletion in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) by stromal interaction molecule (STIM) proteins, which then translocate to plasma membrane and activate Orai Ca2+ channels there. We found that STIM1 and Orai1 isoforms were abundantly expressed in human melanoma tissues and multiple melanoma/melanocyte cell lines. We confirmed that these cell lines exhibited SOCE, which was inhibited by knockdown of STIM1 or Orai1, or by a pharmacological SOCE inhibitor. Inhibition of SOCE suppressed melanoma cell proliferation and migration/metastasis. Induction of SOCE was associated with activation of extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK), and was inhibited by inhibitors of calmodulin kinase II (CaMKII) or Raf-1, suggesting that SOCE-mediated cellular functions are controlled via the CaMKII/Raf-1/ERK signaling pathway. Our findings indicate that SOCE contributes to melanoma progression, and therefore may be a new potential target for treatment of melanoma, irrespective of whether or not Braf mutation is present.

Abstract
Entry of lymphocytes into secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) involves intravascular arrest and intracellular calcium ion ([Ca(2+)]i) elevation. TCR activation triggers increased [Ca(2+)]i and can arrest T-cell motility in vitro. However, the requirement for [Ca(2+)]i elevation in arresting T cells in vivo has not been tested. Here, we have manipulated the Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channel pathway required for [Ca(2+)]i elevation in T cells through genetic deletion of stromal interaction molecule (STIM) 1 or by expression of a dominant-negative ORAI1 channel subunit (ORAI1-DN). Interestingly, the absence of CRAC did not interfere with homing of naïve CD4(+) T cells to SLOs and only moderately reduced crawling speeds in vivo. T cells expressing ORAI1-DN lacked TCR activation induced [Ca(2+)]i elevation, yet arrested motility similar to control T cells in vitro. In contrast, antigen-specific ORAI1-DN T cells had a twofold delayed onset of arrest following injection of OVA peptide in vivo. CRAC channel function is not required for homing to SLOs, but enhances spatiotemporal coordination of TCR signaling and motility arrest.

Abstract
Store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) through Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channels regulates the function of many immune cells. Patients with loss-of-function mutations in the CRAC channel genes ORAI1 or STIM1 are immunodeficient and are prone to develop virus-associated tumours. This and the reported role of Ca2+ signals in cytotoxic lymphocyte function suggest that SOCE may be critical for tumour immune surveillance. Using conditional knock out mice lacking STIM1 and its homologue STIM2, we find that SOCE in CD8+ T cells is required to prevent the engraftment of melanoma and colon carcinoma cells and to control tumour growth. SOCE is essential for the cytotoxic function of CTLs both in vivo and in vitro by regulating the degranulation of CTLs, their expression of Fas ligand and production of TNF-α and IFN-γ. Our results emphasize an important role of SOCE in antitumour immunity, which is significant given recent reports arguing in favour of CRAC channel inhibition for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Melanoma is the worst poor-prognosis skin cancer in the U.S. Although Ca2+ is well recognized as a major second messenger, the role of Ca2+ remains poorly understood in the cancer research field including melanoma. Store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) is the mechanism of Ca2+ entry from the extracellular space in response to Ca2+ depletion in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). SOCE is regulated by interaction between STIM1 (stromal interaction molecule 1) in the ER and Orai (ORAI calcium release-activated calcium modulator) in the plasma membrane. Our previous studies have demonstrated the presence of SOCE is observed in melanoma cells, and potentially regulates cell migration and cell cycle. In the present study, we extensively examined the effects of SOCE on migration and proliferation in multiple melanoma and melanocyte cell lines as well as on metastasis in mice.
Method: Changes in intracellular Ca2+ level were measured by Fluo4-AM, a Ca2+-sensing fluorescent dye. In order to ablate STIM-1 or Orai-1, shRNA for each protein was induced with lentiviral infection in SK-Mel-2, SK-Mel-24 and C8161 cells. Proliferation was measured by the MTT assay. Migration was examined with the Boyden chambers and the scratch assay. Immunocytochemistry was performed to count the number of lamellipodia with F-actin staining. The experimental metastasis assay was performed as follows. Three weeks after the intravenous injection of SK-Mel-2 cells with knockdown of Orai1 or STIM1 in Balb/c nu/nu mice, the lungs were removed and fixed with picric acid. The number of metastatic colonies in the lung surface was counted.
Results: SOCE, as demonstrated by enhancement of Ca2+ entry from extracellular space after Ca2+ depletion in the ER, was observed in 5 primary and 3 metastatic human melanoma cell lines, a mouse melanoma cell line, human and mouse melanocyte cell lines. In addition, metastatic, but not primary, melanoma cell lines showed significantly greater SOCE compared to melanocytes, suggesting that SOCE may positively correlate with malignancy of melanoma. Knockdown of STIM1 inhibited proliferation in metastatic melanoma cells (SK-Mel-2, SK-Mel-24 and C8161) (p<0.01), suggesting that SOCE activates proliferation of melanoma. Inhibition of SOCE with knockdown of Orai1 or STIM1 suppressed migration in cell lines tested (SK-Mel-2 and SK-Mel-24) (p<0.01) and the SOCE inhibitors suppressed it in cell lines (SK-Mel-2 and C8161) (p<0.01 for both cell lines), indicating that SOCE regulates melanoma migration. Indeed, the number of lamellipodia, which reflects the activity of migration, was decreased by deletion of STIM1 or Orai1 (p<0.01). The experimental metastasis assay demonstrated that the number of lung colonies was reduced by knockdown of STIM1 or Orai1 (p<0.01).
Conclusion: Our results demonstrated that inhibition of SOCE suppressed proliferation, migration, and metastasis in melanoma, thus SOCE could be a new target for melanoma therapy.

Abstract
Store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) is an important Ca(2+) influx pathway, which is defined by the fact that depletion of intracellular Ca(2+) stores, mainly the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), triggers the opening of Ca(2+) channels in the plasma membrane. The best characterized SOC channel is the Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channel, which was first described in cells of the immune system but has since been reported in many different cell types. CRAC channels are multimers of ORAI family proteins, of which ORAI1 is the best characterized. They are activated by stromal interaction molecules (STIM) 1 and 2, which respond to the depletion of intracellular Ca(2+) stores with oligomerization and binding to ORAI proteins. The resulting SOCE is critical for the physiological function of many cell types including immune cells and platelets. Recent studies using cell lines, animal models and primary cells from human patients with defects in SOCE have highlighted the importance of this Ca(2+) entry mechanism in a variety of pathophysiological processes. This review focuses on the role of SOCE in immunity to infection, allergy, hemostasis and cancer.

Abstract
T cell receptor (TCR) signaling driven by interaction of the TCR with specific complexes of self-peptide and the major histocompatibility complex determines T cell fate in thymic development. However, the signaling pathway through which TCR signal strength regulates distinct T cell lineages remains unknown. Here we have used mice lacking the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ sensors stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) and STIM2 to show that STIM-induced store-operated Ca2+ entry is not essential for thymic development of conventional TCRαβ+ T cells but is specifically required for the development of agonist-selected T cells (regulatory T cells, invariant natural killer T cells, and TCRαβ+ CD8αα+ intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes). The severe impairment of agonist-selected T cell development is mainly due to a defect in interleukin-2 (IL-2) or IL-15 signaling. Thus, STIM1 and STIM2-mediated store-operated Ca2+ influx, leading to efficient activation of NFAT (nuclear factor of activated T cells), is critical for the postselection maturation of agonist-selected T cells.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca(2+)) influx is required for the activation and function of all cells in the immune system. It is mediated mainly by store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) through Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channels located in the plasma membrane. CRAC channels are composed of ORAI proteins that form the channel pore and are activated by stromal interaction molecules (STIM) 1 and 2. Located in the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum, STIM1 and STIM2 have the dual function of sensing the intraluminal Ca(2+) concentration in the ER and to activate CRAC channels. A decrease in the ER's Ca(2+) concentration induces STIM multimerization and translocation into puncta close to the plasma membrane where they bind to and activate ORAI channels. Since the identification of ORAI and STIM genes as the principal mediators of CRAC channel function, substantial advances have been achieved in understanding the molecular regulation and physiological role of CRAC channels in cells of the immune system and other organs. In this review, we discuss the mechanisms that regulate CRAC channel function and SOCE, the role of recently identified proteins and mechanisms that modulate the activation of ORAI/STIM proteins and the consequences of CRAC channel dysregulation for lymphocyte function and immunity.

Abstract
Lymphocyte function is regulated by a network of ion channels and transporters in the plasma membrane of B and T cells. These proteins modulate the cytoplasmic concentrations of diverse cations, such as calcium, magnesium and zinc ions, which function as second messengers to regulate crucial lymphocyte effector functions, including cytokine production, differentiation and cytotoxicity. The repertoire of ion-conducting proteins includes calcium release-activated calcium (CRAC) channels, P2X receptors, transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, potassium channels, chloride channels and magnesium and zinc transporters. This Review discusses the roles of ion conduction pathways in lymphocyte function and immunity.

Abstract
Store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) in cells of the immune system is mediated by Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channels that are formed by ORAI1 and its homologues ORAI2 and ORAI3. They are activated by stromal interaction molecules (STIM) 1 and 2 in response to depletion of endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) stores. Loss-of-function mutations in the human ORAI1 and STIM1 genes abolish CRAC channel function and SOCE in a variety of non-excitable cells including lymphocytes and other immune cells, resulting in a unique clinical syndrome termed CRAC channelopathy. It is dominated by severe immunodeficiency and autoimmunity due to impaired SOCE and defects in the function of several lymphocyte subsets. These include CD8(+) T cells, CD4(+) effector and regulatory T cells, natural killer (NK) cells and B cells. This review provides a concise discussion of the role of CRAC channels in these lymphocyte populations and the regulation of adaptive immune responses to infection, in autoimmunity and inflammation.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Melanoma has a poor prognosis due to its rapid progression and a high metastatic ability. Ca2+ homeostasis plays a pivotal role in proliferation in cancer cells, but little is known about the role of Ca2+ in melanoma. Store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) is defined as Ca2+ entry from extracellular space triggered when Ca2+ store in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is depleted. SOCE is regulated by coordination between Orai (ORAI calcium release-activated calcium modulator) in the plasma membrane, and STIM1 (stromal interaction molecule 1) in the ER. We examined the role of Ca2+ in melanoma cells especially focusing on SOCE. Method: Intracellular Ca2+ level was measured by using Fluo4-AM, a Ca2+-sensing fluorescent dye. Cell proliferation was measured by MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay. Cells were stained with propidium iodide and cell cycle was assessed using flow cytometer. Protein phosphorylation microarray was performed by using a commercially available kit (Cancer Signaling Phospho-Antibody Array). Results: SOCE, as demonstrated by enhancement of Ca2+ entry from extracellular space after Ca2+ depletion in the ER, was observed in SK-MEL-2, C8161, SK-MEL-24, UACC257 (human) and B16 (mouse) melanoma cell lines, suggesting that the existence of SOCE is universal among melanoma cells. SOCE was attenuated by Pyr3, a pyrazole compound which is known to inhibit SOCE, as well as by EGTA that chelates extracellular Ca2+. Pyr3 inhibits cellular proliferation in SK-MEL-2 cells (IC50: 5.1uM) and C8161 cells (IC50: 2.1uM). Cell cycle was analyzed in C8161 cells, and the cell number in the G2 phase was increased by both Pyr3 and EGTA, indicating that SOCE plays a role in the transition of G2/S phase. Protein microarray data showed that Pyr3 reduces phosphorylation of signal transducers and activators of transcription 5 (STAT5) by 93%, suggesting that the JAK/STAT pathway may be involved in SOCE-induced alteration of cell cycle. Conclusion: Our results showed that inhibition of SOCE suppresses proliferation in melanoma, thus it could be a new strategy for melanoma therapy.

Abstract
Mutations in genes encoding the calcium-release activated calcium (CRAC) channel abolish calcium influx in cells of the immune system and cause severe congenital immunodeficiency. Patients with autosomal recessive mutations in the CRAC channel gene ORAI1, its activator stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1), and mice with targeted deletion of Orai1, Stim1, and Stim2 genes reveal important roles for CRAC channels in adaptive and innate immune responses to infection and in autoimmunity. Because CRAC channels have important functions outside the immune system, deficiency of either ORAI1 or STIM1 is associated with a unique clinical phenotype. This review will give an overview of CRAC channel function in the immune system, examine the consequences of CRAC channel deficiency for immunity in human patients and mice, and discuss genetic defects in immunoreceptor-associated signaling molecules that compromise calcium influx and cause immunodeficiency.

Abstract
Calcium signals play a critical role in many cell-type specific effector functions during innate and adaptive immune responses. The predominant mechanism to raise intracellular (Ca²⁺) used by most immune cells is store-operated Ca²⁺ entry (SOCE), whereby the depletion of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca²⁺ stores triggers the influx of extracellular Ca²⁺. SOCE in immune cells is mediated by the highly Ca²⁺ selective Ca²⁺-release-activated Ca²⁺ (CRAC) channel, encoded by ORAI1, ORAI2 and ORAI3 genes. ORAI proteins are activated by stromal interaction molecules (STIM) 1 and 2, which act as sensors of ER Ca²⁺ store depletion. The importance of SOCE mediated by STIM and ORAI proteins for immune function is evident from the immunodeficiency and autoimmunity in patients with mutations in STIM1 and ORAI1 genes. These patients and studies in gene-targeted mice have revealed an essential role for ORAI/STIM proteins in the function of several immune cells. This review focuses on recent advances made towards understanding the role of SOCE in immune cells with an emphasis on the immune dysregulation that results from defects in SOCE in human patients and transgenic mice.

Abstract
Stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) deficiency is a rare genetic disorder of store-operated calcium entry, associated with a complex syndrome including immunodeficiency and immune dysregulation. The link from the molecular defect to these clinical manifestations is incompletely understood. We report two patients with a homozygous R429C point mutation in STIM1 completely abolishing store-operated calcium entry in T cells. Immunological analysis of one patient revealed that despite the expected defect of T cell proliferation and cytokine production in vitro, significant antiviral T cell populations were generated in vivo. These T cells proliferated in response to viral Ags and showed normal antiviral cytotoxicity. However, antiviral immunity was insufficient to prevent chronic CMV and EBV infections with a possible contribution of impaired NK cell function and a lack of NKT cells. Furthermore, autoimmune cytopenia, eczema, and intermittent diarrhea suggested impaired immune regulation. FOXP3-positive regulatory T (Treg) cells were present but showed an abnormal phenotype. The suppressive function of STIM1-deficient Treg cells in vitro, however, was normal. Given these partial defects in cytotoxic and Treg cell function, impairment of other immune cell populations probably contributes more to the pathogenesis of immunodeficiency and autoimmunity in STIM1 deficiency than previously appreciated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) was recently identified as a critical component of store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) in platelets. We previously reported the Ca(2+) -sensing guanine nucleotide exchange factor CalDAG-GEFI as a critical molecule in Ca(2+) signaling in platelets. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the contribution of STIM1/SOCE to Ca(2+) -dependent platelet activation and thrombosis, we here compared the activation responses of platelets lacking STIM1 and platelets lacking CalDAG-GEFI. METHODS The murine Stim1 gene was conditionally deleted in the megakaryocyte/platelet lineage. CalDAG-GEFI(-/-) and Stim1(fl/fl) PF4-Cre mice, along with littermate control mice, were used for in vitro and in vivo experiments under flow as well as static conditions. RESULTS Integrin α(IIb) β(3) -mediated aggregation was markedly impaired in CalDAG-GEFI-deficient but not STIM1-deficient platelets, under both static and flow conditions. In contrast, deficiency in either STIM1 or CalDAG-GEFI significantly impaired the ability of platelets to express phosphatidylserine on the cell surface. When subjected to a laser injury thrombosis model, mice lacking STIM1 in platelets were characterized by the formation of unstable platelet-rich thrombi and delayed and reduced fibrin generation in injured arterioles. In CalDAG-GEFI(-/-) mice, fibrin generation was also delayed and reduced, but platelet accumulation was almost abolished. CONCLUSIONS Our studies suggest that: (i) STIM1/SOCE is critical for the procoagulant activity but not the proadhesive function of platelets; and (ii) at the site of vascular injury, STIM1 and CalDAG-GEFI are critical for the first wave of thrombin generation mediated by procoagulant platelets.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Melanoma has poor prognosis due to its strong metastatic ability that is mainly controlled by cell migration. Store operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE), which is defined as Ca2+ entry from extracellular space triggered with depletion of Ca2+ store in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), largely regulates Ca2+ homeostasis in non-excitable cells. However, little is known about the role of SOCE in melanoma. Here we report that expressions of SOCE modulators, i.e., ORAI calcium release-activated calcium modulator (Orai), which is the plasma membrane Ca2+ channel, and stromal interaction molecule (STIM), an activator of Orai in the ER, in cultured melanoma cells and human melanoma tissues. We also examined the effect of these modulators on SOCE and cell migration in melanoma cells
Method: Western blot analysis in SK-Mel-2 cells, and immunohistochemistry in human tissue microarray, were performed to examine expressions of Orai1 or STIM1. Intracellular Ca2+ was measured with fluo-4 AM, Ca2+-sensing fluorescent dye, in human metastatic melanoma cell lines (SK-MEL-2, SK-MEL-24 and C8161 cells), a mouse melanoma cell line (B16 cells), a human melanocyte cell line, (HEMA-LP), and a mouse melanocyte cell line (Melan-A). Cell migration was examined with the Boyden chambers. In order to ablate Orai1 or STIM1, shRNA for each protein was induced in SK-Mel-2 cells with lentiviral infection.
Results: Expressions of Orai1 and STIM1 were observed in melanoma cells by western blot, and in human melanoma tissues by immunohistochemistry. SOCE, as demonstrated by enhancement of Ca2+ enhancement after Ca2+ depletion with thapsigargin, was clearly observed in melanoma cell lines, but not in melanocytes, suggesting that SOCE is enhanced in melanoma cells compared to melanocytes. When Orai1 was ablated in SK-MEL-2 cells, the peak Ca2+ signal within SOCE was reduced by 75 % compared to control (2.78±0.44 (control shRNA) vs. 1.44±0.18 (Orai1 shRNA) F/F0 ratio normalized to baseline, p<0.05, n=5). Similarly, ablation of STIM1 reduces the peak Ca2+ signal within SOCE by 37 % compared to control (2.78±0.44 (control shRNA) vs. 2.12±0.63 (STIM1 shRNA) F/F0 ratio normalized to baseline, F/F0, normalized to baseline, p<0.05, n=10). These data suggest that Orai1 and STIM1 are involved in SOCE in melanoma cells. We next examined the role of Orai1 and STIM1 in melanoma cell migration. Ablation of Orai1 reduced cell migration by 46 % (48±4.6 (control shRNA) vs. 26±3.2 (Orai1 shRNA) cells/field, p<0.05, n=4). Similarly, ablation of STIM1 decreased cell migration by 40 % (48±4.6 (control shRNA) vs. 29±4.8 (STIM1 shRNA) cells/field, p<0.05, n=4). These data suggest that Orai1 and/or STIM1 are involved in basal cell migration in melanoma.
Conclusion: SOCE, which is regulated by Orai1 and STIM1 in melanoma cells, plays a major role in Ca2+ homeostasis, and cell migration in melanoma, and thus potentially metastasis.

Abstract
The immune cells named T lymphocytes circulate around the body fulfilling their role in immunosurveillance by monitoring the tissues for injury or infection. To migrate from the blood into the tissues, they make use of the integrin LFA-1 which is exclusively expressed by immune cells. These highly motile cells attach and migrate on substrates expressing the LFA-1 ligand ICAM-1. The molecular events signaling LFA-1 activation and adhesion are now reasonably well identified, but the process of detaching LFA-1 adhesions is less understood. The cysteine protease calpain is involved in turnover of integrin-mediated adhesions in less motile cell types. In this study we have explored the involvement of calpain in turnover of LFA-1-mediated adhesions of T lymphocytes. Using live cell imaging and immunohistochemistry, we demonstrate that turnover of adhesions depends on the Ca2+-dependent enzyme, calpain 2. Inhibition of calpain activity by means of siRNA silencing or pharmacological inhibition results in inefficient disassembly of LFA-1 adhesions causing T lymphocyte elongation and shedding of LFA-1 clusters behind the migrating T lymphocytes. We show that calpain 2 is distributed throughout the T lymphocyte, but is most active at the trailing edge as detected by expression of its fluorescent substrate CMAC,t-BOC-Leu-Met. Extracellular Ca2+ entry is essential for the activity of calpain 2 that is constantly maintained as the T lymphocytes migrate. Use of T cells from a patient with mutation in ORAI1 revealed that the major calcium-release-activated-calcium channel is not the ion channel delivering the Ca2+. We propose a model whereby Ca2+ influx, potentially through stretch activated channels, is sufficient to activate calpain 2 at the trailing edge of a migrating T cell and this activity is essential for the turnover of LFA-1 adhesions.

Abstract
Polarized Ca(2+) signals in secretory epithelial cells are determined by compartmentalized localization of Ca(2+) signaling proteins at the apical pole. Recently the ER Ca(2+) sensor STIM1 (stromal interaction molecule 1) and the Orai channels were shown to play a critical role in store-dependent Ca(2+) influx. STIM1 also gates the transient receptor potential-canonical (TRPC) channels. Here, we asked how cell stimulation affects the localization, recruitment and function of the native proteins in polarized cells. Inhibition of Orai1, STIM1, or deletion of TRPC1 reduces Ca(2+) influx and frequency of Ca(2+) oscillations. Orai1 localization is restricted to the apical pole of the lateral membrane. Surprisingly, cell stimulation does not lead to robust clustering of native Orai1, as is observed with expressed Orai1. Unexpectedly, cell stimulation causes polarized recruitment of native STIM1 to both the apical and lateral regions, thus to regions with and without Orai1. Accordingly, STIM1 and Orai1 show only 40% colocalization. Consequently, STIM1 shows higher colocalization with the basolateral membrane marker E-cadherin than does Orai1, while Orai1 showed higher colocalization with the tight junction protein ZO1. TRPC1 is expressed in both apical and basolateral regions of the plasma membrane. Co-IP of STIM1/Orai1/IP(3) receptors (IP(3) Rs)/TRPCs is enhanced by cell stimulation and disrupted by 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2APB). The polarized localization and recruitment of these proteins results in preferred Ca(2+) entry that is initiated at the apical pole. These findings reveal that in addition to Orai1, STIM1 likely regulates other Ca(2+) permeable channels, such as the TRPCs. Both channels contribute to the frequency of [Ca(2+) ] oscillations and thus impact critical cellular functions.

Abstract
T-cell function is dependent on store-operated Ca(2+) influx that is activated by the stromal interaction molecules (STIM) 1 and 2. We show that mice with T-cell-specific deletion of STIM1 or STIM2 are protected from EAE, a mouse model of multiple sclerosis (MS). While STIM1- and STIM2-deficient T cells could be successfully primed by autoantigen, they failed to produce the proinflammatory cytokines IL-17 and IFN-γ. STIM1-deficient T cells showed reduced expression of IL-23R, required for Th17 cell homeostasis, and had impaired chemokine-dependent T-cell migration caused by a lack of chemokine-induced Ca(2+) influx. Autoantigen-specific STIM1- or STIM2-deficient T cells failed to expand and accumulate in the CNS and lymph nodes following adoptive transfer to passively induce EAE, suggesting that autoantigen-specific restimulation or homeostasis of STIM1- and STIM2-deficient T cells are impaired. Combined deletion of both STIM1 and STIM2, previously shown to impair Treg development and function, completely protected mice from EAE. This indicates that, in the absence of Ca(2+) influx, autoreactive T cells are severely dysfunctional rendering Treg dispensable for the prevention of CNS inflammation. Our findings demonstrate that both STIM1 and STIM2 are critical for T-cell function and autoimmunity in vivo.

Abstract
ORAI1 is the pore-forming subunit of the Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channel, which is responsible for store-operated Ca(2+) entry in lymphocytes. A role for ORAI1 in T cell function in vivo has been inferred from in vitro studies of T cells from human immunodeficient patients with mutations in ORAI1 and Orai1(-/-) mice, but a detailed analysis of T cell-mediated immune responses in vivo in mice lacking functional ORAI1 has been missing. We therefore generated Orai1 knock-in mice (Orai1(KI/KI)) expressing a nonfunctional ORAI1-R93W protein. Homozygosity for the equivalent ORAI1-R91W mutation abolishes CRAC channel function in human T cells resulting in severe immunodeficiency. Homozygous Orai1(KI/KI) mice die neonatally, but Orai1(KI/KI) fetal liver chimeric mice are viable and show normal lymphocyte development. T and B cells from Orai1(KI/KI) mice display severely impaired store-operated Ca(2+) entry and CRAC channel function resulting in a strongly reduced expression of several key cytokines including IL-2, IL-4, IL-17, IFN-γ, and TNF-α in CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells. Cell-mediated immune responses in vivo that depend on Th1, Th2, and Th17 cell function were severely attenuated in ORAI1-deficient mice. Orai1(KI/KI) mice lacked detectable contact hypersensitivity responses and tolerated skin allografts significantly longer than wild-type mice. In addition, T cells from Orai1(KI/KI) mice failed to induce colitis in an adoptive transfer model of inflammatory bowel disease. These findings reaffirm the critical role of ORAI1 for T cell function and provide important insights into the in vivo functions of CRAC channels for T cell-mediated immunity.

Abstract
Whole-exome sequencing reveals a homozygous splice-site mutation in the gene encoding STIM1 in a child with classic Kaposi sarcoma. Classic Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is exceedingly rare in children from the Mediterranean Basin, despite the high prevalence of human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) infection in this region. We hypothesized that rare single-gene inborn errors of immunity to HHV-8 may underlie classic KS in childhood. We investigated a child with no other unusually severe infectious or tumoral phenotype who died from disseminated KS at two years of age. Whole-exome sequencing in the patient revealed a homozygous splice-site mutation in STIM1, the gene encoding stromal interaction molecule 1, which regulates store-operated Ca2+ entry. STIM1 mRNA splicing, protein production, and Ca2+ influx were completely abolished in EBV-transformed B cell lines from the patient, but were rescued by the expression of wild-type STIM1. Based on the previous discovery of STIM1 deficiency in a single family with a severe T cell immunodeficiency and the much higher risk of KS in individuals with acquired T cell deficiencies, we conclude that STIM1 T cell deficiency precipitated the development of lethal KS in this child upon infection with HHV-8. Our report provides the first evidence that isolated classic KS in childhood may result from single-gene defects and provides proof-of-principle that whole-exome sequencing in single patients can decipher the genetic basis of rare inborn errors.

Abstract
Ca(2+) signals through store-operated Ca(2+) (SOC) channels, activated by the depletion of Ca(2+) from the endoplasmic reticulum, regulate various physiological events. Orai1 is the pore-forming subunit of the Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channel, the best characterized SOC channel. Orai1 is activated by stromal interaction molecule (STIM) 1, a Ca(2+) sensor located in the endoplasmic reticulum. Orai1 and STIM1 are crucial for SOC channel activation, but the molecular mechanisms regulating Orai1 function are not fully understood. In this study, we demonstrate that protein kinase C (PKC) suppresses store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) by phosphorylation of Orai1. PKC inhibitors and knockdown of PKCbeta both resulted in increased Ca(2+) influx. Orai1 is strongly phosphorylated by PKC in vitro and in vivo at N-terminal Ser-27 and Ser-30 residues. Consistent with these results, substitution of endogenous Orai1 with an Orai1 S27A/S30A mutant resulted in increased SOCE and CRAC channel currents. We propose that PKC suppresses SOCE and CRAC channel function by phosphorylation of Orai1 at N-terminal serine residues Ser-27 and Ser-30.

Abstract
Lymphocyte activation requires Ca(2+) influx through specialized Ca(2+) channels in the plasma membrane. In T cells the predominant Ca(2+) channel is the Ca(2+) release activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channel encoded by the gene ORAI1. ORAI1 is activated by stromal interaction molecule (STIM) 1 that is localized in the ER where it senses the concentration of stored Ca(2+). Following antigen binding to immunoreceptors such as the TCR, ER Ca(2+) stores are depleted, STIM1 is activated and ORAI1-CRAC channels open resulting in what is referred to as store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE). Mutations in ORAI1 and STIM1 genes in human patients that lead to expression of non-functional ORAI1 or complete lack of ORAI1 or STIM1 protein are associated with a unique clinical phenotype that is characterized by immunodeficiency, muscular hypotonia and anhydrotic ectodermal dysplasia, as well as, in the case of STIM1 deficiency, autoimmunity and lymphoproliferative disease. The immunodeficiency in these patients is due to a severe defect in T cell activation but not in lymphocyte development. This review describes the immunological and non-immunological phenotypes of patients with defects in SOCE and CRAC channel function and discusses them in the context of similar immunodeficiency diseases and animal models of ORAI1 and STIM1 function.

Abstract
Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) is an important Ca2+ influx pathway in many non-excitable and some excitable cells. It is regulated by the filling state of intracellular Ca2+ stores, notably the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Reduction in [Ca2+]ER results in activation of plasma membrane Ca2+ channels that mediate sustained Ca2+ influx which is required for many cell functions as well as refilling of Ca2+ stores. The Ca2+ release activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channel is the best characterized SOC channel with well-defined electrophysiological properties. In recent years, the molecular components of the CRAC channel, long mysterious, have been defined. ORAI1 (or CRACM1) acts as the pore-forming subunit of the CRAC channel in the plasma membrane. Stromal interaction molecule (STIM) 1 is localized in the ER, senses [Ca2+]ER, and activates the CRAC channel upon store depletion by binding to ORAI1. Both proteins are widely expressed in many tissues in both human and mouse consistent with the widespread prevalence of SOCE and CRAC channel currents in many cells types. CRAC channelopathies in human patients with mutations in STIM1 and ORAI1 are characterized by abolished CRAC channel currents, lack of SOCE and-clinically-immunodeficiency, congenital myopathy, and anhydrotic ectodermal dysplasia. This article reviews the role of ORAI and STIM proteins for SOCE and CRAC channel function in a variety of cell types and tissues and compares the phenotypes of ORAI1 and STIM1-deficient human patients and mice with targeted deletion of Orai and Stim genes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Defects in the development or activation of T cells result in immunodeficiency associated with severe infections early in life. T-cell activation requires Ca2+ influx through Ca2+-release activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channels encoded by the gene ORAI1. OBJECTIVE Investigation of the genetic causes and the clinical phenotype of immunodeficiency in patients with impaired Ca2+ influx and CRAC channel function. METHODS DNA sequence analysis for mutations in the genes ORAI1, ORAI2, ORAI3, and stromal interaction molecule (STIM) 1 and 2, as well as mRNA and protein expression analysis of ORAI1 in immunodeficient patients. Immunohistochemical analysis of ORAI1 tissue distribution in healthy human donors. RESULTS We identified mutations in ORAI1 in patients from 2 unrelated families. One patient is homozygous for a frameshift nonsense mutation in ORAI1 (ORAI1-A88SfsX25), and a second patient is compound heterozygous for 2 missense mutations in ORAI1 (ORAI1-A103E/L194P). All 3 mutations abolish ORAI1 expression and impair Ca2+ influx and CRAC channel function. The clinical syndrome associated with ORAI1 deficiency is characterized by immunodeficiency with a defect in the function but not in the development of lymphocytes, congenital myopathy, and anhydrotic ectodermal dysplasia with a defect in dental enamel calcification. In contrast with the limited clinical phenotype, we found ORAI1 protein expression in a wide variety of cell types and organs. CONCLUSION Ca2+ influx through ORAI1 is crucial for lymphocyte function in vivo. Despite almost ubiquitous ORAI1 expression, the channel has a nonredundant role in only a few cell types judging from the limited clinical phenotype in ORAI1-deficient patients.

Abstract
Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) is a mechanism used by many cells types including lymphocytes and other immune cells to increase intracellular Ca2+ concentrations to initiate signal transduction. Activation of immunoreceptors such as the T-cell receptor, B-cell receptor, or Fc receptors results in the release of Ca2+ ions from endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+ stores and subsequent activation of plasma membrane Ca2+ channels such as the well-characterized Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channel. Two genes have been identified that are essential for SOCE: ORAI1 as the pore-forming subunit of the CRAC channel in the plasma membrane and stromal interaction molecule-1 (STIM1) sensing the ER Ca2+ concentration and activating ORAI1-CRAC channels. Intense efforts in the past several years have focused on understanding the molecular mechanism of SOCE and the role it plays for cell functions in vitro and in vivo. A number of transgenic mouse models have been generated to investigate the role of ORAI1 and STIM1 in immunity. In addition, mutations in ORAI1 and STIM1 identified in immunodeficient patients provide valuable insight into the role of both genes and SOCE. This review focuses on the role of ORAI1 and STIM1 in vivo, discussing the phenotypes of ORAI1- and STIM1-deficient human patients and mice.

Abstract
Store-operated Ca(2+) entry is a ubiquitous mechanism that prevents the depletion of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) calcium. A reduction of ER calcium triggers translocation of STIM proteins, which serve as calcium sensors in the ER, to subplasmalemmal puncta where they interact with and activate Orai channels. In pancreatic acinar cells, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) receptors populate the apical part of the ER. Here, however, we observe that STIM1 translocates exclusively to the lateral and basal regions following ER Ca(2+) loss. This finding is paradoxical because the basal and lateral regions of the acinar cells contain rough ER (RER); the size of the ribosomes that decorate RER is larger than the distance that can be spanned by a STIM-Orai complex, and STIM1 function should therefore not be possible. We resolve this paradox and characterize ribosome-free terminals of the RER that form junctions between the reticulum and the plasma membrane in the basal and lateral regions of the acinar cells. Our findings indicate that different ER compartments specialize in different calcium-handling functions (Ca(2+) release and Ca(2+) reloading) and that any potential interference between Ca(2+) release and Ca(2+) influx is minimized by the spatial separation of the two processes.

Abstract
Store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) is a universal mechanism to increase intracellular Ca(2+) concentrations in non-excitable cells. It is initiated by the depletion of ER Ca(2+) stores, activation of stromal interaction molecule (STIM) 1 and gating of the Ca(2+) release activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channel ORAI1 in the plasma membrane. We identified a minimal activation domain in the cytoplasmic region of STIM1 (CCb9) which activated Ca(2+) influx and CRAC currents (I(CRAC)) in the absence of store depletion similar to but more potently than the entire C terminus of STIM1. A STIM1 fragment (CCb7) that is longer by 39 [corrected] amino acids than CCb9 at its C terminal end showed reduced ability to constitutively activate I(CRAC) consistent with our observation that CCb9 but not CCb7 efficiently colocalized with and bound to ORAI1. Intracellular application of a 31 amino acid peptide contained in CCb7 but not CCb9 inhibited constitutive and store-dependent CRAC channel activation. In summary, these findings suggest that CCb9 represents a minimal ORAI1 activation domain within STIM1 that is masked by an adjacent 31 amino acid peptide preventing efficient CRAC channel activation in cells with replete Ca(2+) stores.

Abstract
A mutation in ORAI1, the gene encoding the pore-forming subunit of the Ca(2+)-release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channel, abrogates the store-operated entry of Ca(2+) into cells and impairs lymphocyte activation. Stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) in the endoplasmic reticulum activates ORAI1-CRAC channels. We report on three siblings from one kindred with a clinical syndrome of immunodeficiency, hepatosplenomegaly, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, muscular hypotonia, and defective enamel dentition. Two of these patients have a homozygous nonsense mutation in STIM1 that abrogates expression of STIM1 and Ca(2+) influx.

Abstract
Store-operated Ca2+ entry through calcium release-activated calcium channels is the chief mechanism for increasing intracellular Ca2+ in immune cells. Here we show that mouse T cells and fibroblasts lacking the calcium sensor STIM1 had severely impaired store-operated Ca2+ influx, whereas deficiency in the calcium sensor STIM2 had a smaller effect. However, T cells lacking either STIM1 or STIM2 had much less cytokine production and nuclear translocation of the transcription factor NFAT. T cell-specific ablation of both STIM1 and STIM2 resulted in a notable lymphoproliferative phenotype and a selective decrease in regulatory T cell numbers. We conclude that both STIM1 and STIM2 promote store-operated Ca2+ entry into T cells and fibroblasts and that STIM proteins are required for the development and function of regulatory T cells.

Abstract
Calcium signals in cells of the immune system participate in the regulation of cell differentiation, gene transcription and effector functions. An increase in intracellular levels of calcium ions (Ca2+) results from the engagement of immunoreceptors, such as the T-cell receptor, B-cell receptor and Fc receptors, as well as chemokine and co-stimulatory receptors. The major pathway that induces an increase in intracellular Ca2+ levels in lymphocytes is through store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) and calcium-release-activated calcium (CRAC) channels. This Review focuses on the role of Ca2+ signals in lymphocyte functions, the signalling pathways leading to Ca2+ influx, the function of the recently discovered regulators of Ca2+ influx (STIM and ORAI), and the relationship between Ca2+ signals and diseases of the immune system.

Abstract
In cells of the immune system that are stimulated by antigen or antigen-antibody complexes, Ca(2+) entry from the extracellular medium is driven by depletion of endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) stores and occurs through specialized store-operated Ca(2+) channels known as Ca(2+)-release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channels. The process of store-operated Ca(2+) influx is essential for short-term as well as long-term responses by immune-system cells. Short-term responses include mast cell degranulation and killing of target cells by effector cytolytic T cells, whereas long-term responses typically involve changes in gene transcription and include T and B cell proliferation and differentiation. Transcription downstream of Ca(2+) influx is in large part funneled through the transcription factor nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT), a heavily phosphorylated protein that is cytoplasmic in resting cells, but that enters the nucleus when dephosphorylated by the calmodulin-dependent serine/threonine phosphatase calcineurin. The importance of the Ca(2+)/calcineurin/NFAT signalling pathway for lymphocyte activation is underscored by the finding that the underlying defect in a family with a hereditary severe combined immune deficiency (SCID) syndrome is a defect in CRAC channel function, store-operated Ca(2+) entry, NFAT activation and transcription of cytokines, chemokines and many other NFAT target genes whose transcription is essential for productive immune defence. We recently used a two-pronged genetic approach to identify Orai1 as the pore subunit of the CRAC channel. On the one hand, we initiated a positional cloning approach in which we utilised genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) mapping to identify the genomic region linked to the mutant gene in the SCID family described above. In parallel, we used a genome-wide RNAi screen in Drosophila to identify critical regulators of NFAT nuclear translocation and store-operated Ca(2+) entry. These approaches, together with subsequent mutational and electrophysiological analyses, converged to identify human Orai1 as a pore subunit of the CRAC channel and as the gene product mutated in the SCID patients.
