STIM2 Regulates Capacitive Ca Entry in Neurons and Plays a Key Role in Hypoxic Neuronal Cell Death

چکیده
ttp D ow nladed from Excessive cytosolic calcium ion (Ca) accumulation during cerebral ischemia triggers neuronal cell death, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Capacitive Ca entry (CCE) is a process whereby depletion of intracellular Ca stores causes the activation of plasma membrane Ca channels. In nonexcitable cells, CCE is controlled by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)–resident Ca sensor STIM1, whereas the closely related protein STIM2 has been proposed to regulate basal cytosolic and ER Ca concentrations and make only a minor contribution to CCE. Here, we show that STIM2, but not STIM1, is essential for CCE and ischemia-induced cytosolic Ca accumulation in neurons. Neurons from Stim2 mice showed significantly increased survival under hypoxic conditions compared to neurons from wild-type controls both in culture and in acute hippocampal slice preparations. In vivo, Stim2 mice were markedly protected from neurological damage in a model of focal cerebral ischemia. These results implicate CCE in ischemic neuronal cell death and establish STIM2 as a critical mediator of this process. :/st

STIM2 regulates capacitive Ca2+ entry in neurons and plays a key role in hypoxic neuronal cell death.
Excessive cytosolic calcium ion (Ca(2+)) accumulation during cerebral ischemia triggers neuronal cell death, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Capacitive Ca(2+) entry (CCE) is a process whereby depletion of intracellular Ca(2+) stores causes the activation of plasma membrane Ca(2+) channels. In nonexcitable cells, CCE is controlled by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident C...
متن کاملDifferential Roles for STIM1 and STIM2 in Store-Operated Calcium Entry in Rat Neurons
The interaction between Ca(2+) sensors STIM1 and STIM2 and Ca(2+) channel-forming protein ORAI1 is a crucial element of store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) in non-excitable cells. However, the molecular mechanism of SOCE in neurons remains unclear. We addressed this issue by establishing the presence and function of STIM proteins. Real-time polymerase chain reaction from cortical neurons showed...
متن کاملSTIM2 regulates PKA-dependent phosphorylation and trafficking of AMPARs
STIMs (STIM1 and STIM2 in mammals) are transmembrane proteins that reside in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and regulate store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE). The function of STIMs in the brain is only beginning to be explored, and the relevance of SOCE in nerve cells is being debated. Here we identify STIM2 as a central organizer of excitatory synapses. STIM2, but not its paralogue STIM1, influe...

متن کاملStim and Orai proteins in neuronal Ca2+ signaling and excitability
Stim1 and Orai1 are ubiquitous proteins that have long been known to mediate Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) current (ICRAC) and store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) only in non-excitable cells. SOCE is activated following the depletion of the endogenous Ca(2+) stores, which are mainly located within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), to replete the intracellular Ca(2+) reservoir and engage s...
