Abstract

The role of calcium release-activated calcium channel (CRAC) inhibitors in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is unclear. We focused on stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) and Ca²⁺ release-activated channel regulator 2 A (CRACR2A), which participate in CRAC activation, to understand the signaling mechanism of human RA fibroblast-like synovial (FLS) cells in response to shear stress (SS). Human normal and RA FLS cell cultures were studied. The rates of intracellular calcium release and extracellular calcium influx in response to SS differed, and the responses to the first and second stimuli were analyzed. In the RA FLS cells, CRAC inhibitor significantly decreased the second/first stimulus ratio compared with that of the normal cells, and STIM1 and CRACR2A exhibited significantly increased expression levels compared with those in the normal FLS cells. Therefore, STIM1 and CRACR2A expression and Ca²⁺ influx in FLS cells are implicated in the pathogenesis of RA.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Physiological Sciences publishes peer-reviewed original papers, reviews, short communications, technical notes, and letters to the editor, based on the principles and theories of modern physiology and addressed to the international scientific community. All fields of physiology are covered, encompassing molecular, cellular and systems physiology. The emphasis is on human and vertebrate physiology, but comparative papers are also considered. The process of obtaining results must be ethically sound. Fields covered: Adaptation and environment Autonomic nervous function Biophysics Cell sensors and signaling Central nervous system and brain sciences Endocrinology and metabolism Excitable membranes and neural cell physiology Exercise physiology Gastrointestinal and kidney physiology Heart and circulatory physiology Molecular and cellular physiology Muscle physiology Physiome/systems biology Respiration physiology Senses.
