Oscillatory calcium release and sustained store-operated oscillatory calcium signaling prevents differentiation of human oligodendrocyte progenitor cells.

ABSTRACT: Endogenous remyelination in demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis is contingent upon the successful differentiation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs). Signaling via the Gα_q-coupled muscarinic receptor (M_1/3R) inhibits human OPC differentiation and impairs endogenous remyelination in experimental models. We hypothesized that calcium release following Gα_q-coupled receptor (G_qR) activation directly regulates human OPC (hOPC) cell fate. In this study, we show that specific G_qR agonists activating muscarinic and metabotropic glutamate receptors induce characteristic oscillatory calcium release in hOPCs and that these agonists similarly block hOPC maturation in vitro. Both agonists induce calcium release from endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stores and store operated calcium entry (SOCE) likely via STIM/ORAI-based channels. siRNA mediated knockdown (KD) of obligate calcium sensors STIM1 and STIM2 decreased the magnitude of muscarinic agonist induced oscillatory calcium release and attenuated SOCE in hOPCs. In addition, STIM2 expression was necessary to maintain the frequency of calcium oscillations and STIM2 KD reduced spontaneous OPC differentiation. Furthermore, STIM2 siRNA prevented the effects of muscarinic agonist treatment on OPC differentiation suggesting that SOCE is necessary for the anti-differentiative action of muscarinic receptor-dependent signaling. Finally, using a gain-of-function approach with an optogenetic STIM lentivirus, we demonstrate that independent activation of SOCE was sufficient to significantly block hOPC differentiation and this occurred in a frequency dependent manner while increasing hOPC proliferation. These findings suggest that intracellular calcium oscillations directly regulate hOPC fate and that modulation of calcium oscillation frequency may overcome inhibitory Gα_q-coupled signaling that impairs myelin repair.

Project description:Despite exhibiting cardiotoxicity, doxorubicin (DOX) is widely used for cancer treatments. Cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) are important in the pathogenesis of heart failure. This necessitates the study of the effect of DOX on CFs. The impairment of calcium (Ca2+) homeostasis is a common mechanism of heart failure. Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) is a receptor-regulated Ca2⁺ entry pathway that maintains calcium balance by sensing reduced calcium stores in the endoplasmic reticulum. ORAI1, a calcium channel protein and the most important component of SOCE, is highly expressed in human cardiac fibroblasts (HCFs). It is upregulated in CFs from failing ventricles. However, whether ORAI1 in HCFs is increased and/or plays a role in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity remains unknown. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the relationship between ORAI1/SOCE and DOX-induced heart failure. Induction of apoptosis by DOX was characterized in HCFs. Apoptosis and cell cycle analyses were performed by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production was measured using fluorescence. YM-58483 was used as an ORAI1/SOCE inhibitor. ORAI1-knockdown cells were established by RNA interference. In vivo experiments were performed by intraperitoneally injecting YM-58483 and DOX into mice. We first demonstrated that DOX significantly increased the protein expression level of p53 in HCFs by western blotting. FACS analysis revealed that DOX increased early apoptosis and induced cell cycle arrest in the G2 phase in fibroblasts. DOX also increased ROS production. DOX significantly increased the expression level of ORAI1 in CFs. Both YM-58483 and ORAI1 gene knockdown attenuated DOX-induced apoptosis. Similarly, YM-58483 attenuated cell cycle arrest in the G2 phase, and ORAI1 knockdown attenuated DOX-induced ROS production in HCFs. In the animal experiment, YM-58483 attenuated DOX-induced apoptosis. In HCFs, ORAI1/SOCE regulates p53 expression and plays an important role in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. ORAI1 may serve as a new target for preventing DOX-induced heart failure.
