Abstract |
Store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) mediated by STIM and Orai proteins is a highly regulated and ubiquitous signaling pathway that plays an important role in various cellular and physiological functions. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) serves as the major site for intracellular Ca(2+) storage. Stromal Interaction Molecule 1/2 (STIM1/2) sense decrease in ER Ca(2+) levels and transmits the message to plasma membrane Ca(2+) channels constituted by Orai family members (Orai1/2/3) resulting in Ca(2+) influx into the cells. This increase in cytosolic Ca(2+) in turn activates a variety of signaling cascades to regulate a plethora of cellular functions. Evidence from the literature suggests that SOCE dysregulation is associated with several pathophysiologies, including vascular disorders. Interestingly, recent studies have suggested that STIM proteins may also regulate vascular functions independent of their contribution to SOCE. In this updated book chapter, we will focus on the physiological role of STIM and Orai proteins in the vasculature (endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells). We will further retrospect the literature implicating a critical role for these proteins in vascular disease. |
