Store-operated CRAC channels: function in health and disease

Abstract: Elevation of cytosolic Ca(2+) levels through the activation of store-operated Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channels is involved in mediating a disparate array of cellular responses. These include secretion, metabolism and gene expression, as well as cell growth and proliferation. Moreover, emerging evidence points to the involvement of aberrant CRAC channel activity in human diseases, such as certain types of immunodeficiency and autoimmunity disorders, allergy, and inflammatory bowel disease.

“…However, there is no doubt that much remains to be understood about STIM1 and SOCE in the heart, including how Ca 2ϩ influx through this pathway is segregated from large beat-to-beat changes in cytosolic Ca 2ϩ required for EC coupling and the extent to which SOCE is involved in regulating basal cardiomyocyte Ca 2ϩ homeostasis. A key limitation in the study of SOCE in general and more specifically STIM1-mediated SOCE is the lack of specificity of currently available pharmacological inhibitors (85). There are some recent studies examining derivatives of 2-ABP in SOCE inhibition, but there was no evaluation as to selectivity relative to other calcium entry pathways (32), which would be essential for use in cardiomyocytes.…”

“…This agent has recently been shown to block Ca 2+ currents through CRAC channels in human lung mast cells, T cells, and platelets (31)(32)(33)(34). The CRAC channel is emerging as a potentially important therapeutic target in a number of human diseases (52,53) and could also be important for pancreatitis (54). We have therefore used GSK-7975A (33,34), to inhibit storeoperated Ca 2+ entry in pancreatic acinar cells.…”

“…However, the effects are likely to be strongest in those cell types (like the pancreatic acinar cells) in which other types of Ca 2+ entry pathways are not quantitatively important, unlike the many types of electrically excitable cells. Mast cells and T cells, for example, will be affected by CRAC blockade (31,34,52,53), but this will be advantageous in the treatment of acute pancreatitis, where the initial damage of the acinar cells leading to necrosis is followed by a strong inflammatory response, which is known to cause very significant further damage (1). CRAC blockade would have the most pronounced effect on cells with the most strongly activated Ca 2+ entry channels, which, in cases of life-threatening severe pancreatitis, would be the pancreatic acinar cells.…”
