Abstract

Store-operated Ca2+ entry is one of the main pathways of calcium influx into non-excitable cells, which entails the initiation of many intracellular processes. The endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ sensors STIM1 and STIM2 are the key components of store-operated Ca2+ entry in mammalian cells. Under physiological conditions, STIM proteins are responsible for store-operated Ca2+ entry activation. The STIM1 and STIM2 proteins differ in their potency for activating different store-operated channels. At the moment, there are no selective modulators of the STIM protein activity. We screened a library of small molecules and found the 4-MPTC compound, which selectively inhibited STIM2-dependent store-operated Ca2+ entry (IC50 = 1 μM) and had almost no effect on the STIM1-dependent activation of store-operated channels.

INTRODUCTION

An increase in the concentration of cytoplasmic Ca2+ ions is one of the common cellular responses to extracellular stimulation of membrane receptors by physiologically active substances that trigger a wide range of intracellular cascades. Under physiological conditions, the intracellular Ca2+ response to an agonist includes not only entry of extracellular Ca2+ into the cell, but also depletion of the intracellular Ca2+ stores located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) [1]. Plasma membrane channel-mediated Ca2+ entry into the cell in response to the depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores or store-operated Ca2+ entry [2] provides a significant part of the Ca2+ ion influx into the cell. The entry is induced by STIM proteins (STIM1 and STIM2), which are Ca2+ sensors in the ER lumen. The STIM1 protein, which is the main activator of store-operated Ca2+ entry, was the first to be characterized [3, 4]. The STIM1 and STIM2 proteins differ in their affinity for Ca2+ ions and ability to interact with plasma membrane channels [5]. STIM2 is more sensitive to small changes in the concentration of stored Ca2+ and is a weaker activator of store-operated Ca2+ entry than STIM1. STIM1 is most likely responsible for the cellular Ca2+ response to an extracellular signal, while STIM2 regulates the basal levels of cytosolic and stored Ca2+ [6]. In addition, STIM2 facilitates STIM1 transition to the active state [7]. Under physiological conditions, STIM1 and STIM2 activate various store-operated channels in the cell [8], which are formed by proteins belonging to the Orai [9, 10] and TRP [11–13] families. STIM proteins are involved in a wide range of pathologies. For instance, a long-term increase in the neuronal Ca2+ concentration, which is caused by an enhanced activity of STIM proteins and leads to cell death, is observed in Huntington’s disease [14, 15], Alzheimer’s disease [16, 17], cerebral ischemia [18], and traumatic brain injury [19, 20]. Changes in STIM expression levels are typical for several breast cancers [21] and colon carcinoma [22]. Thus, changes in the activity of STIM proteins, in particular decreased STIM2 activity, may possess a potential therapeutic effect. In basic research, a STIM2 activity modulator would be an essential tool to be used to distinguish between STIM1- and STIM2-mediated signaling pathways, because such pharmacological agents are currently unavailable.

Researchers have actively used a wide range of store-operated Ca2+ entry inhibitors. Most of these inhibitors modulate the activity of store-operated Ca2+ channels. However, these compounds are often poorly characterized and have more than one target. One of the most commonly used compounds, 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB), was first characterized as a blocker of IP3-induced Ca2+ release [23]. It is now widely used as a store-operated Ca2+ entry inhibitor at concentrations exceeding 50 μM. In addition, 2-APB, at a concentration of 5 μM, can potentiate store-operated entry [24]. The mechanism of 2-APB action is not fully understood; this compound is known to have several targets and, in particular, to exert a modulatory effect on the activity of various channels; e.g., TRPV [25, 26] and Orai3 [27] channels. The 2-APB compound also enhances non-specific Ca2+ leak from the ER lumen [28].

When ER Ca2+ stores are filled, STIM proteins are in an inactive conformation stabilized by the interaction between the CC1 (Coiled-Coil 1) and SOAR (STIM-Orai Activating Region) domains. Following Ca2+ store depletion, STIM proteins undergo multimerization, change their conformation, and expose the SOAR domain for interaction with plasma membrane channels [29]. The 2-APB compound, at concentrations of about 10 μM, is known to induce store-operated Ca2+ entry by transforming STIM2 into its active conformation [30]. On the contrary, 2-APB at a higher concentration (50 μM) stabilizes an inactive STIM1 conformation by enhancing the interaction between the CC1 and SOAR domains. Thus, it inhibits the interaction of the SOAR domain with Orai1 channels and the activation of the channels. Interestingly, increased Orai1 expression partially reverses this action [31].

Thus, 2-APB directly interacts with STIM proteins and provides a good basis for the search for a more selective modulator of store-operated Ca2+ entry. In this work, we have tested a library of 250 chemical compounds received from InterBioScreen Ltd. possessing a chemical structure similar to that of 2-APB, in order to identify a selective modulator of STIM2 activity. A 4-MPTC compound was found to inhibit STIM2-dependent Ca2+ entry (IC50 = 1 μM) but had almost no effect on the STIM1-mediated mechanism of store-operated channel activation. The other 249 compounds from the library had a divergent, and non-selective, effect.

EXPERIMENTAL

Cell lines

The following HEK293-derived cell lines, kindly provided by Jonathan Soboloff and Mohamed Trebak, were used in the study: STIM1Orai3 (a cell line expressing exogenous STIM1-YFP and Orai3-CFP proteins), STIM2Orai3 (a cell line expressing exogenous STIM2-YFP and Orai3-CFP proteins) [32], STIM1 KO (a CRISPR/Cas9-mediated STIM1 gene knockout cell line), STIM2 KO (a CRISPR/Cas9-mediated STIM2 gene knockout cell line), and Orai3 KO (a CRISPR/Cas9-mediated Orai3 knockout cell line) [30]. The cell lines were cultured in a DMEM medium (Biolot, Russia) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, as well as the antibiotics penicillin (100 U/ml) and streptomycin (0.1 mg/ml) at 37°C and 5% CO2.

Fluorescence analysis

Changes in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration were measured using a Fluo-4 AM calcium indicator (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA). The cells were plated into 96-well culture plates 48 h prior to the analysis. The cells were first incubated in a HBSS solution (2 mM CaCl2, 130 mM NaCl, 25 mM KCl, 1.2 mM MgCl2, 10 mM HEPES, and 10 mM glucose) containing 5 μM Fluo-4 AM for 1 h and then in a HBSS solution supplemented with either 4-MPTC (InterBioScreen Ltd., Russia) or 1% DMSO (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) for 30 min. Measurements were performed in the presence of 2 mM calcium in the extracellular solution using a FLUOstar Omega microplate reader (BMG Labtech, Germany). Data are presented as Fluo-4 fluorescence intensity values normalized to the basal fluorescence value.

Electrophoresis and immunoblotting

The cells were grown in 60-mm Petri dishes and then lysed by adding a protease inhibitor cocktail. Proteins were separated by 8% denaturing PAGE. The proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane using a semi-dry transfer unit (Hoefer Pharmacia Biotech., Germany). Primary antibodies to STIM1 (Cell Signaling #4917, USA), STIM2 (Cell Signaling #5668, USA), and α-tubulin (Sigma-Aldrich #T6074, USA) were diluted at a ratio of 1 : 1000. Next, secondary anti-mouse IgG antibodies (Sigma-Aldrich #A0168, USA) against α-tubulin and anti-rabbit IgG antibodies (Sigma-Aldrich #A0545, USA) against STIM1 and STIM2 were used. Blots were visualized on a BioRad Cell Imaging System (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., USA).

Low-molecular-weight compounds for screening, including 4-MPTC, were kindly provided by InterBioScreen Ltd. (ibscreen.com) in dry form. The compounds were dissolved in DMSO to a final concentration of 10 mM.

Statistical analysis

Statistical analysis was performed using the Origin 8 software. The results of fluorescence measurements were checked for normality using the Fisher’s test. Data groups were compared using the Bonferroni test. Statistically significant differences are denoted in figures as follows: “*”– the confidence interval of p < 0.05, “**”– p < 0.01, “***”– p < 0.001; “n.s.” – not statistically significant differences.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

In order to search for low-molecular-weight compounds that modulate the activity of STIM2 proteins, we used a model cell line derived from HEK293 cells stably expressing exogenous STIM2 and Orai3 proteins (STIM2Orai3 cell line) (Fig. 1A). The effect of the test compounds on the amplitude of a cellular Ca2+ signal in response to the depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores was recorded using the Fluo-4 AM calcium indicator. Intracellular Ca2+ stores were depleted by adding 1 μM thapsigargin (Tg), a selective inhibitor of the ER Ca2+ pump, to the extracellular solution. At the first stage, the effect of the library of 2-APB analogs on the Tg-induced Ca2+ response was tested. For this purpose, the cells were incubated in HBSS solutions containing one of the 250 test compounds (at a concentration of 100 μM) for 30 min prior to starting the experiments. Next, the amplitude of the Ca2+ response to the addition of 1 μM Tg was assessed. As a result of library screening, we selected 4-MPTC (Fig. 1C), the compound that most strongly affected the Tg-induced Ca2+ response in STIM2Orai3 cells: the Ca2+ response was inhibited by 39 ± 3% compared to that in the cells incubated in a solution supplemented with 1% DMSO (Fig. 2A). Since 4-MPTC significantly inhibits the Tg-induced Ca2+ response in cells with increased STIM2 and Orai3 levels, we may suggest that 4-MPTC modulates the activity of these proteins. The direct action of 4-MPTC on Orai3 is supported by the fact that 2-APB can activate the Orai3 channel [27]. To test the effect of 4-MPTC on Orai3 channels, HEK293 cells with Orai3 knockout (the Orai3 KO cell line) were used. Incubation of Orai3 KO cells with 4-MPTC changed the shape of the Tg-induced Ca2+ response and decreased its amplitude by 12 ± 3% (Fig. 2B). Furthermore, incubation of HEK293 cells expressing exogenous STIM1 and Orai3 proteins (the STIM1Orai3 cell line) with 4-MPTC did not inhibit the amplitude of the Tg-induced Ca2+ response (Fig. 2B) and, therefore, did not decrease the activity of the Orai3 channels. Hence, the Orai3 protein is not a selective target for 4-MPTC.

The activity of store-operated channels in a cell is known to be modulated by both the STIM1 and STIM2 proteins [8]. The predominant pathway of store-operated entry activation can be modulated through either the STIM1 protein or the STIM2 protein by changing their expression levels. HEK293 cells expressing exogenous STIM1 and Orai3 proteins were used to test the effect of 4-MPTC on STIM1. As mentioned above, incubation of STIM1Orai3 cells with 4-MPTC changes the shape of the Tg-induced Ca2+ response without decreasing its amplitude (Fig. 2B). Since 4-MPTC significantly reduced the Ca2+ response amplitude but did not alter the curve’s shape in STIM2Orai3 cells (Fig. 2A), we may suggest that this compound affects the pathway of store-operated calcium entry activation through STIM2, but not through the STIM1 protein. A change in the curve’s shape for the Orai3 KO and STIM1Orai3 cell lines is quite typical and reflects a decrease in the rate of the Ca2+ response. Since the endogenous STIM2 protein is present in Orai3 KO and STIM1Orai3 cells (Fig. 1B), 4-MPTC can reduce its activity and, thereby, change the dynamics of both the release of Ca2+ from the store into the cytoplasm and the entry of extracellular Ca2+ ions. Knockout of STIM2 using short interfering RNAs results in a similar effect on the Ca2+ response; it decreases Ca2+ release from the store [33] and subsequent Ca2+ entry [4, 34]. Cell lines overexpressing STIM proteins (STIM1Orai3 and STIM2Orai3) contain endogenous STIM1 and STIM2 (Fig. 1A,B), which complicates data interpretation. Therefore, we further used STIM1 (the STIM1 KO cell line) and STIM2 knockout cells (the STIM2 KO cell line), which are devoid of this drawback (Fig. 1A,B).

 

Fig. 2. Effect of the 4-MPTC compound on the Tg-induced calcium response. Measurements were performed in cell lines with (A) exogenous STIM2 and Orai3 protein expression, (B) exogenous STIM1 and Orai3 protein expression, and (C) Orai3 protein knockout. The dependence of Fluo-4 fluorescence, normalized to the basal fluorescence level, on time is presented. Prior to starting the experiment, the cells were incubated in HBSS supplemented with 100 μM 4-MPTC for 30 min. Control cells were incubated in HBSS containing 1% DMSO for 30 min. Data are presented as means ± s.e.m. (n = 12)

When STIM1 expression is completely suppressed, the STIM2 protein becomes the key and only activator of store-operated Ca2+ entry [4]. Pre-incubation of STIM1 KO cells with 4-MPTC decreased the Tg-induced Ca2+ response by 57 ± 8% compared to that in control cells (incubation with 1% DMSO) (Fig. 3A). It should be noted that 4-MPTC more effectively inhibits store-operated Ca2+ entry under these conditions. For example, the Tg-induced Ca2+ response was inhibited by 57% in STIM1 KO cells and by only 39% in STIM2Orai3 cells. A significant change in the shape of the Tg-induced response is observed after incubation of STIM2-knockout cells in which the STIM1 protein is the only activator of store-operated Ca2+ entry with 4-MPTC. The calcium concentration increases more slowly in these cells than in the control cells, with the maximum Ca2+ response amplitude being 61 ± 5% higher compared to that in the control (Fig. 3B). 4-MPTC was experimentally demonstrated to act divergently in STIM1 KO and STIM2 KO cell lines: it inhibits the Ca2+ response through the STIM2-dependent pathways and enhances it through the STIM1 pathways. Thus, the selected compound, 4-MPTC, enables differentiation between the pathways activating store-operated Ca2+ entry through different STIM proteins; however, the mechanism of action of this compound requires further clarification.

 

Fig. 3. Effect of the 4-MPTC compound on the Tg-induced calcium response. Measurements were performed in (A) STIM1 knockout and (B) STIM2 knockout cells. The dependence of the Fluo-4 fluorescence, normalized to the basal fluorescence level, on time is presented. Prior to starting the experiment, the cells were incubated in HBSS supplemented with 100 μM 4-MPTC for 30 min. Control cells were incubated in HBSS containing 1% DMSO for 30 min. Data are presented as means ± s.e.m. (n = 12)

The 4-MPTC compound has a typical concentration–effect curve (Fig. 4). We analyzed the effect of 4-MPTC at a concentration of 0.001, 0.1, 1, 10, and 100 μM on the Tg-induced Ca2+ response in STIM2Orai3 cells. The half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50), calculated by curve-fitting, equals 1 μM.

The Fluo-4 fluorescence intensity at minute 9 of the experiment, normalized to the basal fluorescence level, is presented. Prior to the experiment, the cells were incubated at various concentrations of 4-MPTC (0.001, 0.1, 1, 10, and 100 μM) for 30 min. Data are presented as means ± s.e.m. (n = 6). The half-maximum inhibitory level and half-maximum inhibitory concentration (IC50 = 1 µM) are denoted by dotted lines

Thus, given our findings, we may conclude that the use of 4-MPTC in cell lines expressing predominantly the STIM2 protein (STIM1 KO and STIM2Orai3) significantly inhibits the amplitude of the Tg-induced Ca2+ response, while the use of 4-MPTC in cell lines producing predominantly the STIM1 protein (STIM2 KO, STIM1Orai3), on the contrary, changes the shape of the Ca2+ response curve, without decreasing its amplitude. Thus, 4-MPTC selectively inhibits store-operated Ca2+ entry via the STIM2-mediated pathway, but not the STIM1-mediated pathway.

Despite the fact that 2-APB is widely used as a store-operated Ca2+ entry inhibitor, it does not appear to selectively inhibit store-operated Ca2+ entry and also has a divergent concentration-dependent effect. 2-APB derivatives have been investigated in the search for an inhibitor lacking these disadvantages [35–41]. Most of the identified compounds inhibit store-operated Ca2+ entry at lower concentrations than 2-APB but are at the same time unable to activate Ca2+ entry at certain concentrations; in other words, they have better inhibitory properties than the parent compound. More attention in the search for new inhibitors of store-operated Ca2+ entry has been paid to the STIM1-dependent pathway of activation, while the STIM2-mediated pathway often has remained unexplored. For example, MDA-MB-231 cells, in which STIM1 and Orai1 proteins play a key role in store-operated Ca2+ entry, as well as HEK293 cells expressing STIM1 and Orai-family proteins, have been used as model cell lines in experiments [42, 43]. A study of the compounds DPB163-AE and DPB162-AE demonstrated that they interact differently with STIM1 and STIM2 but eventually inhibit store-operated Ca2+ entry through both proteins [37]. The 4-MPTC compound, identified in our study, has an inhibitory effect on the STIM2-mediated pathway and does not inhibit Ca2+ entry through the STIM1-dependent pathway.

CONCLUSION

Screening of a library of structure 2-APB analogs has yielded an 4-MPTC compound that has an inhibitory effect on the Tg-induced Ca2+ response through the STIM2-dependent pathway of Ca2+ influx but does not inhibit Ca2+ entry through the STIM1-dependent pathway. The mechanism of action of this compound on the STIM2 protein requires further investigation.
