Endoplasmic Reticulum Calcium Pumps and Cancer Cell Differentiation

Abstract: The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a major intracellular calcium storage pool and a multifunctional organelle that accomplishes several calcium-dependent functions involved in many homeostatic and signaling mechanisms. Calcium is accumulated in the ER by Sarco/Endoplasmic Reticulum Calcium ATPase (SERCA)-type calcium pumps. SERCA activity can determine ER calcium content available for intra-ER functions and for calcium release into the cytosol, and can shape the spatiotemporal characteristics of calcium signals… Show more

“…This may be due to a difference in Ca 2+ influx. Calcium release from the ER combined with capacitative calcium influx from the extracellular space leads to markedly increased cytosolic calcium levels and is involved in cell activation [54] to control key cell-fate processes, which include fertilization, early embryogenesis [55], and differentiation [56]. The amplitude and duration of the Ca 2+ response are decoded by downstream effectors to specify cell fates [57].…”

“…The SR serve as a storage as well as a source for intracellular Ca 2+ , thus playing a central role in Ca 2+ homeostasis, 1 signaling, 24 development of epithelial junctions, 5 cell differentiation, 6 and muscle contractility. 7 Ca 2+ is released from the SR to the cytosol through a variety of receptor/channels such as the ryanodine receptor (RyR), 8 the IP3 receptor, 9 and leak channels.…”

“…Knockout of SERCA3 significantly impairs endothelium-dependent relaxation of vascular smooth muscle [50], likely associated with impaired activation of nitric oxide synthase. SERCA3 levels are induced during differentiation of various cell types, and in cancer cells SERCA3 displays a complex pattern of up- and downregulation during cell differentiation and at various stages of cancer [51]. This pattern of up- and downregulation is sufficiently distinct that SERCA3 expression has been suggested as a tumor marker to evaluate the progression of cancer [52].…”

“…This pattern of up- and downregulation is sufficiently distinct that SERCA3 expression has been suggested as a tumor marker to evaluate the progression of cancer [52]. An important distinction can be made between SERCA2- and SERCA3-associated storage of calcium [51, 53]. For example, in control HL-60 cells SERCA-dependent calcium uptake proceeds ca.…”
