The functional relevance of K and Ca ion channels in the "Store Operated Calcium Entry" (SOCE) during B and T lymphocyte activation is well proven. However, their role in the process of T- and B- cell development and selection is still poorly defined. In this scenario, our aim was to characterize the expression of the ether à-go-go-related gene 1 (ERG1) and K1.3 K channels during the early stages of mouse lymphopoiesis and analyze how they affect Casignaling, or other signaling pathways, known to mediate selection and differentiation processes of lymphoid clones. We provide here evidence that the mouse (m)ERG1 is expressed in primary lymphoid organs, bone marrow (BM), and thymus of C57BL/6 and SV129 mice. This expression is particularly evident in the BM during the developmental stages of B cells, before the positive selection (large and small PreB). mERG1 is also expressed in all thymic subsets of both strains, when lymphocyte positive and negative selection occurs. Partially overlapping results were obtained for K1.3 expression. mERG1 and KV1.3 were expressed at significantly higher levels in B-cell precursors of mice developing an experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). The pharmacological blockage of ERG1 channels with E4031 produced a significant reduction in intracellular Ca after lymphocyte stimulation in the CD4 and double-positive T-cell precursors' subsets. This suggests that ERG1 might contribute to maintaining the electrochemical gradient responsible for driving Ca entry, during T-cell receptor signaling which sustains lymphocyte selection checkpoints. Such role mirrors that performed by the shaker-type K1.3 potassium channel during the activation process of mature lymphocytes. No effects on Ca signaling were observed either in B-cell precursors after blocking K1.3 with PSORA-4. In the BM, the pharmacological blockage of ERG1 channels produced an increase in ERK phosphorylation, suggesting an effect of ERG1 in regulating B-lymphocyte precursor clones' proliferation and checkpoint escape. Overall, our results suggest a novel physiological function of ERG1 in the processes of differentiation and selection of lymphoid precursors, paving the way to further studies aimed at defining the expression and role of ERG1 channels in immune-based pathologies in addition to that during lymphocyte neoplastic transformation.
