Orai1 regulates calcium entry into dendritic spines
The possible role of store operated calcium entry (SOCE) through the Orai1 channel in central neurons has attracted growing attention in recent years because of its involvement in regulation of calcium homeostasis in the neuron. One unique neuronal compartment associated with calcium homeostasis is the dendritic spine, the site of excitatory synapses in the majority of neurons in the brain. It has been linked to neuronal plasticity, which is highly regulated by calcium influx during intense synaptic activity. The formation, plasticity and longevity of dendritic spines have been studied extensively, but the rules governing these processes are still not clear and not universal. The cultured hippocampal neuron provides a convenient vehicle to study the role of SOCE channels in dendritic spine formation and plasticity. Indeed, recent studies have detected the presence of Orai1 channels in central neurons, and further studies indicated that STIM2, the sensor for endoplasmic reticulum calcium store depletion, is instrumental in maintenance of mature dendritic spines in cultured hippocampal neurons. We have recently analyzed the role of Orai1 in dendritic spine formation and plasticity. This study follows our interest in the role of calcium stores in spine plasticity, where we found that dendritic spines contain ryanodine receptor-type calcium stores. In the more recent study, we employed plasmids that encode the Orai1 protein, as well as plasmids that encode the dominant negative (DN) Orai1. We also knocked down Orai1, using selective siRNA for this protein. In calcium store-depleted neurons a transient elevation of extracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2C]o) caused a rise in [Ca2C]i that was mediated by activation of the SOCE.
