The coupling of ER Ca(2+)-sensing STIM proteins and PM Orai Ca(2+) entry channels generates "store-operated" Ca(2+) signals crucial in controlling responses in many cell types. The dimeric derivative of 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borinate (2-APB), DPB162-AE, blocks functional coupling between STIM1 and Orai1 with an IC50 (200 nM) 100-fold lower than 2-APB. Unlike 2-APB, DPB162-AE does not affect L-type or TRPC channels or Ca(2+) pumps at maximal STIM1-Orai1 blocking levels. DPB162-AE blocks STIM1-induced Orai1 or Orai2, but does not block Orai3 or STIM2-mediated effects. We narrowed the DPB162-AE site of action to the STIM-Orai activating region (SOAR) of STIM1. DPB162-AE does not prevent the SOAR-Orai1 interaction but potently blocks SOAR-mediated Orai1 channel activation, yet its action is not as an Orai1 channel pore blocker. Using the SOAR-F394H mutant which prevents both physical and functional coupling to Orai1, we reveal DPB162-AE rapidly restores SOAR-Orai binding but only slowly restores Orai1 channel-mediated Ca(2+) entry. With the same SOAR mutant, 2-APB induces rapid physical and functional coupling to Orai1, but channel activation is transient. We infer that the actions of both 2-APB and DPB162-AE are directed toward the STIM1-Orai1 coupling interface. Compared to 2-APB, DPB162-AE is a much more potent and specific STIM1/Orai1 functional uncoupler. DPB162-AE provides an important pharmacological tool and a useful mechanistic probe for the function and coupling between STIM1 and Orai1 channels.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive disease associated with vasoconstriction and remodeling. Intracellular Ca signaling regulates the contraction of pulmonary arteries and the proliferation of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs); however, it is not clear which molecules related to Ca signaling contribute to the progression of PAH. In this study, we found the specific expression of type 2 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IPR2), which is an intracellular Ca release channel, on the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum in mouse PASMCs, and demonstrated its inhibitory role in the progression of PAH using a chronic hypoxia-induced PAH mouse model.

Inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate (IP) signaling plays a crucial role in a wide range of eukaryotic processes. In Plasmodium falciparum, IP elicits Ca release from intracellular Ca stores, even though no IP receptor homolog has been identified to date. The human host hormone melatonin plays a key role in entraining the P.

DPB162-AE is a valuable tool to study store-operated Ca entry (SOCE), as this compound was developed as a 2-APB analog that inhibits SOCE more potently and more selectively than 2-APB itself. In addition to this, we showed that, in some conditions, DPB162-AE can deplete the endoplasmic reticulum Ca stores in intact cells, including the cervical carcinoma HeLa cell line and the diffuse large B-cell lymphoma SU-DHL-4 cell line. Here, we present data regarding the toxicity of DPB162-AE in HeLa and SU-DHL-4 cells.

Store-operated Ca entry (SOCE), an important Ca signaling pathway in non-excitable cells, regulates a variety of cellular functions. To study its physiological role, pharmacological tools, like 2-aminoethyl diphenylborinate (2-APB), are used to impact SOCE. 2-APB is one of the best characterized SOCE inhibitors.
