Orai2 Modulates Store-Operated Ca2+ Entry and Cell Cycle Progression in Breast Cancer Cells
(MDPI, 2021-12-27)
Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease from the histological and molecular expression point of view, and this heterogeneity determines cancer aggressiveness. Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE), a major mechanism for Ca2+ ...

Store-operated calcium entry in breast cancer cells is insensitive to Orai1 and STIM1 N-linked glycosylation
(MDPI, 2022-12-29)
N-linked glycosylation is a post-translational modification that affects protein function, structure, and interaction with other proteins. The store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) core proteins, Orai1 and STIM1, exhibit ...

Podoplanin Gene Disruption in Mice Promotes in vivo Neural Progenitor Cells Proliferation, Selectively Impairs Dentate Gyrus Synaptic Depression and Induces Anxiety-Like Behaviors.
(2020-01-15)
Podoplanin (Pdpn), a brain-tumor-related glycoprotein identified in humans and animals, is endogenously expressed in several organs critical for life support such as kidney, lung, heart and brain. In the brain, Pdpn has ...

Editorial: Involvements of TRP channels, oxidative stress and apoptosis in neurodegenerative diseases
(Fontiers Media SA, 2021)
The oxygen free radicals generated during metabolism can cause cumulative oxidative damage to nucleic acids, lipids, and protein, resulting in structural degeneration, apoptosis, functional decline, and age-related ...

Urocortin Role in Ischemia Cardioprotection and the Adverse Cardiac Remodeling
(MDPI, 2021-11-09)
Despite the considerable progress in strategies of myocardial protection, ischemic heart diseases (IHD) and consequent heart failure (HF) remain the main cause of mortality worldwide. Several procedures are used routinely ...

Orai1 and TRPC1 Proteins Co-localize with CaV1.2 Channels to Form a Signal Complex in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2016)
Voltage-dependent CaV1.2 L-type Ca2 channels (LTCC) are the main route for calcium entry in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). Several studies have also determined the relevant role of store-operated Ca2 channels ...

Urocortin-1 Mediated Cardioprotection Involves XIAP and CD40-Ligand Recovery Role of EPAC2 and ERK12
(Public Library of Science, 2016)
Urocortin-1 (Ucn-1) is an endogenous peptide that protects heart from ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injuries. Ucn-1 is known to prevent cardiac cell death, but its role in the transcription of specific genes related to ...

Innate Immune Receptors, Key Actors in Cardiovascular Diseases
(Elsevier on behalf of the American College of Cardiology Foundation, 2020)
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death in the industrialized world. Most CVDs are associated with increased inflammation that arises mainly from innate immune system activation related to cardiac ...

Orai1α, but not Orai1β, co-localizes with TRPC1 and is required for its plasma membrane location and activation in HeLa cells
(Springer, 2022)
The identification of two variants of the canonical pore-forming subunit of the Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channel Orai1, Orai1α and Orai1β, in mammalian cells arises the question whether they exhibit different ...

SARAF and Orai1 contribute to endothelial cell activation and angiogenesis
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2021)
Angiogenesis is a multistep process that controls endothelial cells (ECs) functioning to form new blood vessels from preexisting vascular beds. This process is tightly regulated by pro-angiogenic factors, such as vascular ...
