ABSTRACT
Upon stimulation, activation of NADPH oxidase complexes in neutrophils
produces a burst of superoxide anions contributing to oxidative
stress and the development of inflammatory process. Store-operated
calcium entry (SOCE), whereby the depletion of intracellular
stores induces extracellular calcium influx, is known to be
a crucial element of NADPH oxidase regulation. However, the
mechanistic basis mediating SOCE is still only partially understood,
as is the signal-coupling pathway leading to modulation of store-operated
channels. This review emphasizes the role of calcium influx
in the control of the NADPH oxidase and summarizes the current
knowledge of pathways mediating this extracellular calcium entry
in neutrophils. Such investigations into the cross-talk between
NADPH oxidase and calcium might allow the identification of
novel pharmacological targets with clinical use, particularly
in inflammatory diseases.

INTRODUCTION
Many cellular signal transduction pathways such as fertilization,
proliferation, and development are modulated by a spatial and
temporal elevation of the cytosolic-free calcium concentration
([Ca
2+]
c) [
1
]. In nonexcitable cells, the [Ca
2+]
c increase
is predominantly a result of a Ca
2+ influx from the extracellular
medium through the opening of Ca
2+-permeable channels subsequent
to the emptying of intracellular Ca
2+ stores. This store depletion
is mediated by the synthesis of inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate
(InsP
3), a Ca
2+-mobilizing, second messenger, causing the activation
of channels located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes
[
2
]. The intracellular signal resulting from this mechanism,
known as store-operated Ca
2+ entry (SOCE), is characterized
by the formation of a transient Ca
2+ spike (with a substantial
amplitude), which returns to a basal level of [Ca
2+]
c, dependent
on the activity of the plasma membrane and sarco(endo)plasmic
reticulum Ca
2+-ATPase (SERCA) pumps. Over the years, it became
clear that Ca
2+ mobilization plays an important role in the
regulation of superoxide anion secretion by phagocytic cells
[
3
4
5
]. Originally, it was believed that NADPH oxidase, the
most important generator of superoxide anions, was only assembled
and activated in the plasma membrane or phagosome. Now, it is
well established that this enzymatic complex can be activated
in specific granules, and produced oxidants are intracellularly
retained (see refs. [
6
,
7
] for review). Evidence for the requirement
of extracellular Ca
2+ entry for NADPH oxidase activation is
supported by a significant decrease of superoxide anion production
when extracellular Ca
2+ is suppressed or chelated by EGTA [
3
,
8
,
9
]. Although oxidants are released from neutrophils upon
chemoattractant stimulation, ionomycin-induced oxidant production
is largely intracellular [
10
]. In the latter case, Ca
2+ influx
through ionophore activity is sufficient to activate NADPH oxidase
in the granule fraction [
11
].
Like Ca2+ ionophores, thapsigargin, an inhibitor of Ca2+ re-uptake by SERCA, permits a slow ER emptying, followed by SOCE [12
], which is unable to activate plasma membrane-localized NADPH oxidase in neutrophils. This suggests that NADPH oxidase regulation requires a second signal, Ca2+-independent pathway, acting in synergy with Ca2+ influx from SOCE [3
].
During the last decade, SOCE has been studied extensively; many questions remain unanswered about the mechanism linking [Ca2+]c elevation to superoxide anion production. This review summarizes the present knowledge about Ca2+ influx-regulated NADPH oxidase activity induced by external stimuli in neutrophils.

NEUTROPHIL NADPH OXIDASE
Activated state
NADPH oxidase was first described in neutrophils, where it is
normally inactive. This complex is a multicomponent enzyme,
including cytosolic and membrane-bound proteins, which is unassembled
in resting cells. Membrane components include a stable, heterodimeric
flavocytochrome
b558 composed of two subunits: gp91
phox (known
as Nox2 in the new terminology) and p22
phox. Cytosolic components
include four soluble factors: p67
phox, p47
phox, p40
phox, and
a small G-protein Rac (Rac1 and Rac2 isoforms). Upon cell surface
receptor activation by soluble inflammatory mediators (such
as fMLF), cytosolic components translocate to the plasma or
phagosomal membrane, where NADPH oxidase is assembled (
Fig. 1
).
A large quantity of superoxide anions, which are precursors
of a variety of reactive oxygen species (ROS) used for microbial
killing, is released. The precise mechanism governing NADPH
oxidase assembly has been excellently reviewed previously (see
refs. [
13
14
15
16
17
18
19
]) and is therefore not detailed
here. Cellular responses induced by opsonized zymosan differ
from those induced by chemoattractant-activated G-protein-coupled
receptors. Cytosolic components translocate to the granular
membrane, and oxygen metabolites are formed intracellularly,
probably for the intracellular destruction of bacteria [
6
,
20
] within the phagosome. Oxidant-producing granules could
bind to the plasma membrane or fuse to form larger structures
that eventually associate with the plasma membrane to release
superoxide anions extracellularly [
7
]. Therefore, it has to
be concluded that common agents used for activation (fMLF, opsonized
zymosan) trigger different signaling pathways, resulting in
NADPH oxidase activation.
Primed state
Complete NADPH oxidase assembly results in a large superoxide
anion production, which can be increased in response to a second
activating stimulus during a process known as priming [
21
22
23
24
].
Priming agents per se do not cause NADPH oxidase activation.
Many studies about different agents able to induce the neutrophil
priming suggest that several complementary signal transductions
are involved in this mechanism. For example, [Ca
2+]
c elevation
and phosphorylation of p47
phox by different protein kinases
(PKC, MAPK, PKA, p21-activated kinase) allowing conformational
changes of p47
phox may promote oxidase activation in response
to GM-CSF [
25
]. Changes in PLC, PLD, PLA
2, and phosphoinositide
3-hydroxykinase activity, protein phosphorylation, modulation
of the expression of chemotactic peptide receptors, sequential
phosphorylation of p47
phox and p67
phox, and assembly of the
NADPH oxidase in lipid rafts (reviewed by Sheppard et al. [
26
])
also seem to be implicated in the "priming" phenomenon. Indeed,
the great diversity of substances inducing priming suggests
that a variety of signaling pathways, alone or in combination,
is responsible for NADPH oxidase up-regulation.
It is found that Ca2+ ionophores, such as ionomycin, might be considered as priming activators and that their effects are correlated with [Ca2+]c elevation [27
]. However, the relation between [Ca2+]c and priming seems to be dependent on the nature of priming agents. For example, TNF-
[28
] is unable to mobilize Ca2+ in contrast to lysophosphatidylcholine [29
] or platelet-activating factor (PAF) [30
], which can enhance [Ca2+]c in response to other agonists. Similarly, several studies have reported that IL-8 stimulates a [Ca2+]c rise in response to other agonists, as demonstrated by Wozniak et al. [23
]. These authors suggest that the stimulation of neutrophils with IL-8 increases [Ca2+]c by mobilizing Ca2+ from internal stores and by increasing the Ca2+ influx. Our own recent work confirms that IL-8 regulates extracellular Ca2+ entry and that NADPH oxidase priming could be mediated by this [Ca2+]c elevation [31
]. MacKinnon et al. [32
] suggested that [Ca2+]c elevation upon stimulation by priming agents such as PAF or a substance P analog may be dependent on the generation of sphingosine 1-phosphate, described previously as the "calcium influx factor" by Itagaki and Hauser [33
]. Thus, priming agents might be implicated in sphingosine 1-phosphate synthesis and subsequently, through SOCE in the elevation of [Ca2+]c. However, it is clear that other mechanisms, independent of intracellular Ca2+ signaling pathways, are required for the priming of the NADPH oxidase [31
].
A signaling role of Ca2+ in priming has been established in the majority with neutrophils in suspension. However, NADPH oxidase activation of neutrophils adherent to extracellular matrix proteins differs considerably from that of neutrophils in suspension. Effectively, adherence of neutrophils can apparently capacitate them to respond to stimuli that are not effective when in suspension [34
]. For example, although neutrophils in suspension show no oxidant production in response to soluble cytokines such as TNF-
, adhesion of neutrophils to substrates via leukocyte β2 integrin is able to trigger a massive oxidative response from neutrophils [34
, 35
]. As [Ca2+]c elevation is prevented by treatment with cytochalasin B, and antibodies against the adhesion receptor, β2 integrin-mediated adhesion is thought to be responsible for [Ca2+]c elevation [36
, 37
]. This conclusion is supported by rapid-time confocal scanning experiments in which Pettit and Hallett [38
] observed multiple elevations in [Ca2+]c as a result of Ca2+ influx during β2 integrin-dependent adhesion. Generation of β2 integrin-induced Ca2+ influx seems dependent on the formation of InsP3 [39
]. Although precise mechanisms remain to be determined, [Ca2+]c, elevation may be the link to adhesion-dependent priming [40
].

MECHANISMS OF Ca2+ ENTRY
SOCE
In neutrophils, changes in [Ca
2+]
c are often associated with
InsP
3-R-mediated, rapid Ca
2+ release of intracellular stores
followed by SOCE as a result of the activation of channels in
the plasma membrane [
2
,
41
,
42
]
(Fig. 1)
. STIM1 has recently
been identified as the sensor for ER Ca
2+ content, which initiates
a process resulting in a signal being sent from the stores to
SOCs [
43
44
45
]. Three models have been put forward to link
store-emptying to SOCs activation (reviewed by Putney et al.
[
46
]): a dynamic, conformational coupling [
41
]
(Fig. 1)
involving
a direct protein–protein interaction between InsP
3-Rs
and SOCs; an unidentified, diffusible messenger, termed calcium
influx factor [
33
,
46
47
48
], generated and released in response
to store depletion; and a fusion of secretory vesicles [
49
,
50
] with the plasma membrane causing preformed SOCs protein
insertion into the plasma membrane through exocytosis or regulatory
molecules. Although the conformational coupling may not apply
to all cell types, we cannot rule out a combination of these
different concepts, as considerable evidence exists to support
an involvement of conformational changes in SOCE.
At this point, it is necessary to introduce proteins that could be considered as candidates for SOCs in neutrophils. During the last decade, research focused on mammalian homologs of Drosophila transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) that are activated by an active and passive Ca2+ store depletion. Mammalian TRPC, closely related to Drosophila TRP, are divided into several subfamilies: TRPC1, TRPC3-6-7, and TRPC4-5 based on their sequence homologies and functional similarities [51
]. Human neutrophils are known to express mRNAs for TRPC1, TRPC3, TRPC4, and TRPC6 [52
53
54
], and corresponding proteins are found to be expressed in the cell membrane [53
]. First, Itagaki et al. [53
] provided evidence that TRPC proteins might participate in SOCE in human neutrophils after internalization of TRPC proteins by calyculin A. Cytoskeletal reorganization induced by this phosphatase inhibitor causes the displacement of TRPC proteins from the cell surface into a diffuse cytosolic pattern followed by the inhibition of SOCE induced by physiological and pharmacological stimuli [53
]. Considerable efforts have been devoted to elucidate the function of TRPC proteins in SOCE, but few studies tackled the role that these channels play in neutrophils. Overexpression of TRPC in other mammalian cells [human embryo kidney (HEK)-293, DT40 B cells, platelets, salivary gland cells, adrenal cells] has been reported to result in an enhancement of SOCE, and reduction of TRPC expression using antisense strategies was shown to decrease SOCE. More precisely, it is generally accepted that TRPC1, TRPC4, and TRPC5 are activated by Ca2+ store depletion [55
56
57
58
59
60
61
], and TRPC3, TRPC6, and TRPC7 are directly activated by diacylglycerol and its cell-permeant analogs in an InsP3-R-independent manner [62
63
64
65
66
]. However, some studies have focused on the role of TRPC3 and TRPC6 as SOCs in human neutrophils. Indeed, we have found that endogenous TRPC6 channels are sensitive to Ca2+ store depletion in neutrophil-like, DMSO-differentiated HL-60 cells [67
], and TRPC3, in combination with TRPC1 or TRPC4, might be involved in SOCs formation [53
]. TRPC1 seems to be implicated in intracellular Ca2+ signaling by contributing to functional coupling between the plasma membrane and the ER. Support for this hypothesis is derived from information obtained in human platelets and B lymphocytes, which suggests that TRPC1 is activated upon interaction with InsP3-Rs [57
] and that it acts not only as a component of SOCs but also as a regulatory subunit of InsP3-Rs [58
]. In addition to these studies, electrotransjection of a STIM1 antibody into platelets inhibited SOCE by reducing coupling between TRPC1 and InsP3-Rs [68
]. Further, Ca2+ store depletion stimulated rapid STIM1 surface expression and its association with TRPC1. However, TRPC channel functions might be dependent on their mutual association in forming heteromeric complexes, a feature that may be typical of certain myeloid lineages.
A novel, essential regulator of SOCE, Orai1, has been identified [69
70
71
]. Mutations of two conserved acidic residues in transmembrane segments of Orai1 [72
] as well as RNA interference knockdown [73
] result in a decrease of Ca2+ influx in mammalian cells leading to three hypothesis: Orai1 is a pore subunit of SOCs; Orai1 forms the channel itself; or Orai1 is an accessory protein of the SOC signaling machinery (plasma membrane acceptor or docking protein, possibly for STIM1) [69
]. Experiments of Orai1 and STIM1 overexpression [74
75
76
] provided some evidences for the interaction of STIM1, anchored within ER membranes, with Orai1 after intracellular Ca2+ store depletion.
Recent studies provided evidence for the formation of a ternary complex among TRPC, Orai1, and STIM1 (Fig. 2
), in which TRPC is the pore-forming component of SOCs and Orai1, the regulatory subunit that confers store depletion sensitivity to TRPC [77
, 79
]. Despite accumulating data that point to a preponderant role of a ternary complex formed by TRPC/Orai1/STIM1 in the activation of SOCE, conflicting findings exist about the mode of activation of TRPC channels. An expression profile appears to have an influence on the behavior of TRPC channels. To illustrate this hypothesis, it was demonstrated that individual TRPC channels could behave as a SOC or as a receptor-operated channel, depending on their interaction with other TRPC and Orai1 proteins [78
, 80
]. Although results obtained in other nonexcitable cells might provide an important means to ultimately resolve the molecular mystery of the SOCE pathway in neutrophils, they must be extrapolated with prudence to human neutrophils, and more studies will be necessary in these cells to define the exact arrangement of SOCs and mechanisms leading to their activation.
Non-SOCE
SOCE is considered the prominent mechanism for Ca
2+ influx into
neutrophils after Ca
2+ pool discharge. However, it is becoming
increasingly apparent that stimulation of cells not only activates
SOCE but also promotes additional Ca
2+ entry pathways. In addition
to the InsP
3 pathway, cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPr) appears to be
required for sustained extracellular Ca
2+ influx in neutrophils
stimulated by fMLF [
81
,
82
]. cADPr is formed in neutrophil
granulocytes by the transmembrane glycoprotein CD38, which acts
as an ADP ribosyl cyclase, converting NAD
+ into cADPr [
83
].
Ca
2+ influx is severely impaired by the specific cADPr antagonist,
8-bromo-cADPr, and in CD38 knockout mice [
81
]. Based on these
observations and additional experiments, Partida-Sanchez et
al. [
81
] postulated that cADPr directly activates Ca
2+ influx
by mobilizing the intracellular Ca
2+ store through the ryanodine
receptor. Later, the same group found functional differences
in human neutrophils [
82
]. The high-affinity, fMLF-binding
receptor induces a cADPr-independent Ca
2+ response, whereas
the low-affinity receptor related to the fMLF receptor [
84
]
can trigger a Ca
2+ response regulated by cADPr, which is primarly
a result of extracellular Ca
2+ influx [
82
]. Based on functional
experiments with neutrophil-like HL-60 cells, another interpretation
is provided by our lab: cADPr could support intracellular Ca
2+ release by regulating extracellular Ca
2+ entry through non-SOCE
[
85
]. There is no consensus about mechanisms by which cADPr
induces Ca
2+ influx, but the possibility that cADPr is first
hydrolyzed to ADPr [
86
] and then gates channels has recently
attracted attention. Patch-clamp experiments in neutrophils
provided evidence for a channel activation of the TRP family
TRPM2 by intracellular ADPr [
87
,
88
]. NAD
+ is reported as
an alternative stimulus for TRPM2 in addition to ADPr [
88
],
where redox state interestingly mediates independent activation
of this channel [
89
].
Other messengers resulting from diacylglycerol metabolism, including arachidonic acid [90
], can cause a Ca2+ influx clearly distinct from SOCE in some cell types, which involves Orai channels [90
]. As it has been demonstrated that diacylglycerol analogs cannot activate TRPC3 and TRPC6 channels through stimulation of PKC, diacylglycerol could itself regulate TRPC3 and TRPC6 directly [91
]. Although there are an increasing number of reports supporting significant Ca2+ influx via non-SOCE (which are closely related to receptor-operated calcium entry) in neutrophils, intracellular signaling molecules that initiate this response have not formally been identified.

Ca2+ SIGNAL-MEDIATED NADPH OXIDASE ACTIVITY
As we described previously, the localization of superoxide anion
production induced by antibody-opsonized
Escherichia coli or
zymosan particles differs from the one induced by G-protein-coupled
chemoattractant receptors (fMLF). Although both pathways are
Ca
2+-dependent, the mechanism of Ca
2+ entry required for intraphagosomal
and extracellular superoxide anion production seems different.
Complexities to concomitantly measure NADPH oxidase activity
and [Ca
2+]
c variations with a high resolution make it difficult
to analyze the link between both phenomena.
Quantitative measurements of NADPH oxidase activity and Ca2+ change
Different methods and instrumentations (spectroscopy, electrophysiology, chemiluminescence, Raman resonance imaging, electron spin resonance) have been developed to detect the production of ROS (see refs. [92
93
94
] for review). Fluorescent dyes have an exquisite spatio-temporal resolution as well as a high dynamic range and are easy to use and cheap. NADPH oxidase activity is routinely measured by the conversion of nonfluorescent compounds to fluorescent counterparts. Dihydrorhodamine 123 (DHR) and more recently, Amplex Red are presented as the most sensitive and stable indicators of ROS production and are often used to assess NADPH oxidase activity. Although Amplex Red is membrane-impermeant, DHR can traverse the membrane and distributes in multiple cellular subcompartments. Although Amplex and DHR allow for reliable measurements of extracellular and global intracellular H2O2 production, both dyes are not suitable for measuring ROS formation restricted to phagosomes and their accumulation in granules during phagocytosis [31
, 95
96
97
98
]. Another probe, 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein (DCDHF), does not redistribute between compartments and therefore, is an effective probe for monitoring kinetics of localized release of oxidative products within the forming phagocytic vacuoles in activated neutrophils [99
]. The probe is firmly attached to microorganisms to target it to the specific phagosome. To monitor the oxidative activity during phagocytosis, DCDHF-labeled zymosan has been developed [100
]. The major problem with this strategy is that myeloperoxidase, delivered to the phagosome, affects DCDHF-zymosan oxidation. This effect influences the non-linear relationship between fluorescence in the phagosome and NADPH oxidase activity. To overcome the dependence of peroxidase degranulation in the phagosome and to increase the specificity of the assays, measurement of DCDHF-zymosan oxidation during phagocytosis in the presence of extracellular peroxidase is required [100
].
Similar techniques based on fluorescence indicators are also widely used to measure quantitative changes in [Ca2+]c [101
, 102
]. However, these probes cannot be selectively targeted to a specific cellular compartment without microinjection, and [Ca2+]c elevation can be generated artifactually as a result of the rapid diffusion of the probe-Ca2+ complex away from a more restricted region of the cytosol. Currently, genetically encoded indicators are developed to measure local Ca2+ changes occurring within specific cell compartments. In a detailed review, Demaurex [103
] discusses design and use of these genetic Ca2+ indicators.
Despite some disadvantages characteristic to each probe, fluorescent dyes have remained the most reliable tools to monitor oxidative activity and [Ca2+]c elevation. In this context, Halletts group [100
] provided convincing data about temporal and spatial Ca2+ signal-regulated phagocytosis in using DCDHF-labeled zymosan and fura-2 microinjection. Furthermore, several reports based on the use of fluorescent dyes underlined the requirement of Ca2+ influx in plasma membrane NADPH oxidase activity. Progress in the generation of new indicators will further improve the approach to image Ca2+ and NADPH oxidase; this will be utmostly conclusive in deciphering the calcium-related phenomena observed in specific cellular compartments of regions.
Regulation of chemoattractant-induced NADPH oxidase by Ca2+ influx
Strong evidence for Ca2+ dependence of NADPH oxidase activation came from deprivation of extracellular Ca2+ and depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores [3
4
5
6
7
]. Although the precise nature of [Ca2+]c elevation in fMLF-induced NADPH oxidase activation has not been resolved conclusively, evidence, based on the use of pharmalogical blockers of SOCE, exists to support a role of SOCE in the oxidative response. Although the specificity of 1-{β-[3-(4-methoxy-phenyl)propoxy]-4-methoxyphenethyl}-1H-imidazole hydrochloride (SK&F) 96365 and 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB) remains questionable, N-propargylnitrendipine, MRS1845, represents a promising compound for the development of selective SOCs inhibitors. It possesses micromolar potency at SOCs in HL-60 cells [104
] and is far more potent than traditional SOCE inhibitors. Unlike currently used SOC blockers, MRS1845 does not activate intracellular Ca2+ release at concentrations required to block SOCE. MRS1845 is able to suppress Ca2+ uptake triggered by fMLF and thapsigargin as well as NADPH oxidase activation at concentrations similar to those needed to suppress SOCE [105
]. This apparent link between SOCE and NADPH oxidase is supported by data of Lee et al. [106
], relating a modulation of Ca2+ entry and attenuation of NADPH oxidase activity in neutrophils that have been subjected to MRS1845. NADPH oxidase activity is also inhibited by the pyrazole derivative N-{4-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]phenyl}-4-methyl-1,2,3-thiadiazole-5-carboxamide (BTP2), a new inhibitor of SOCE described in neutrophils [107
], to the same level as in the absence of extracellular Ca2+. BTP2 has no effect on PMA-stimulated NADPH oxidase, indicating a specific effect of BTP2 for the Ca2+ dependence of NADPH oxidase activation. These findings confirm that Ca2+ uptake via SOCE is required for NADPH oxidase activation.
On the other hand, Itagaki et al. [108
] suggest that Ca2+ influx occurring through a mechanism other than SOCE could be a relevant event to activate the oxidative response. This conclusion is based on multiple observations made in this study. For example, when lysophosphatidic acid is applied to HL-60 cells in Ca2+-free medium, no store depletion is observed, but Ca2+ influx is detected immediately after readdition of external Ca2+. Further, lysophosphatidic acid has stimulatory effects on NADPH oxidase in a concentration-dependent manner. Taken together, these results provide strong evidence for the involvement of two separate Ca2+ signaling pathways in NADPH oxidase regulation but no direct correlation between non-SOCE or SOCE, and NADPH oxidase has yet been formally established.
The contribution of transient [Ca2+]c elevation in NADPH oxidase activation varies with applied stimulus classes and within the seven transmembrane-spanning G-protein-coupled receptor family. Activation of neutrophils with PAF and fMLF is accompanied by a transient [Ca2+]c elevation, which is of similar magnitude for each activator. In both cases, the peak of [Ca2+]c is followed by a gradual decrease in [Ca2+]c [109
]. Although fMLF and the PAF allow a Ca2+ mobilization, the functional response elicited by these chemoattractants is distinctly different. Although fMLF provokes NADPH oxidase activation, exposure to PAF does not induce ROS generation. This difference is attributed to the coupling of both chemoattractants to two distinct G proteins and consequently, to different signals of transduction [110
]. Therefore, a transient [Ca2+]c elevation is not in any way linked to the generation of a NADPH oxidase-activating signal from G-protein-coupled receptors. An increase of [Ca2+]c is accordingly not sufficient to initiate NADPH oxidase activation in the plasma membrane; an additionnal signal in combination with Ca2+ influx is almost certainly required for NADPH oxidase activation [3
].
Ca2+-regulated NADPH oxidase during phagocytosis
Sources of Ca2+ involved in superoxide anion production in the phagosome are not yet determined. As elevation of periphagosomal Ca2+ is not affected by BTP2, SOCs do not seem to participate in phagocytic stimuli-mediated Ca2+ influx in contrast to those induced by chemoattractants (Fig. 1)
.
Through binding to β2integrin molecules, complement component, C3bi-opsonized zymosan particles mediate Ca2+ signals and subsequent NADPH oxidase activation during phagocytosis in neutrophils. The work of Halletts group [100] permitted resolving of Ca2+ signals into two temporally separated phases and clarified the role of [Ca2+]c change in NADPH oxidase activation during phagocytosis. First, the global Ca2+ signal is occurring during integrin engagement at the point of contact between the particle and the cell and is subsequent to an intracellular Ca2+ store release near the plasma membrane. Based on their observations, Dewitt et al. [100
, 111
] proposed that a Ca2+ influx, triggering a global [Ca2+]c change, is responsible for increased mobility of β2 integrins distant from the contact site, which in turn activates calpain. Subsequently, activated calpain releases distant β2 integrin from their tethers and allows their diffusion to the contact site to complete the phagocytic event.
Some Ca2+ stores are located at the periphery of phagocytic vesicles [112
] and are distinct from those implicated by G-protein-coupled receptors, such as fMLF [113
, 114
]. The identity of the intracellular messenger responsible for the release of these peripheral Ca2+ stores remains unknown. Although InsP3 can diffuse rapidly in the cytosol [115
], it is not certain that this fMLF-mediated phosphoinositide metabolite can trigger integrin-mediated store depletion. A second global [Ca2+]c change is occurring at the time of phagosomal closure and is temporally correlated with the activation of NADPH oxidase. Such a conclusion has been proposed by Dewitt and Hallett [111
] following the development of a micromanipulation technique in which C3bi-opsonized particles are presented to neutrophils, coupled to a microscopic detection of intraphagosomal particles labeled with an oxidant-sensitive probe. Activation of the NADPH oxidase is triggered locally in the phagosome, but the second Ca2+ signal is not restricted to the region of the phagosome. Indeed, localized store depletion may generate a diffusible signal (calcium influx factor), gating Ca2+ channels in the plasma membrane distant from the initial contact site, and Ca2+ influx may thus occur across the entire neutrophil surface. In the same study, the authors demonstrated that extracellular Ni2+, used as a blocker of Ca2+ influx, and a phosphoinositide-3-kinase inhibitor (LY294002) prevented the β2 integrin-triggered global Ca2+signal. Blockade of Ca2+ influx is accompanied by a slowed phagocytosis and a decrease of NADPH oxidase activity. Thus, global changes of Ca2+ resulting from Ca2+ influx are necessary but insufficient to activate the NADPH oxidase during phagocytosis; other slower events are required, probably including phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5 triphosphate (PIP3) formation in the phagosomal membrane and its binding to the phox homology domain of phox proteins [116
]. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that PIP3 accumulation and anchoring at the phagocytic membrane are prerequisites for the generation of Ca2+ signaling [117
]. Exact mechanisms linking PIP3 formation to Ca2+ signals are not yet known, but PIP3 may activate a PLC isoform triggering InsP3 production [118
]. It is also possible, as described in platelets, that PIP3 regulates a novel pathway of Ca2+ entry, which is independent of an increase of PLC activity [119
] and which would sustain NADPH oxidase activity during phagocytosis.
Potential targets regulated by Ca2+ changes
Ca2+-regulated PKC
PKC, a phospholipid-dependent family of serine-threonine protein kinases, acts in multiple signal transduction pathways including the regulation of the NADPH oxidase. At least 12 different PKC isoforms have been characterized so far, and these can be grouped into the following three subgroups: conventional PKCs (
, βI, βII, and
); novel PKCs (
,
, µ,
, and
), and atypical PKCs (
and
/
), on the basis of their molecular structure and the requirement of Ca2+ for activation (conventional) and diacylglycerol-binding activity (conventional and novel). Conventional and novel PKCs are directly activated by phorbol esters (PMA), potent activators of NADPH oxidase acting as analogs of diacylglycerol, and atypical isoforms are insensitive to PMA [120
121
122
123
]. Most of the data supports the contention that [Ca2+]c does not change during PMA stimulation, and NADPH oxidase activation is independent of the extracellular Ca2+ concentration [124
125
126

]. In disagreement with the fact, largely reported, that PMA stimulates NADPH oxidase independently of Ca2+ influx, some studies demonstrate that PMA-activated NADPH oxidase is decreased significantly in the absence of extracellular Ca2+ [129
]. However, this Ca2+ dependency is only observed on adherent neutrophils stimulated at low cell density, reinforcing the plausible impact of the granulocyte cellular environment in selecting distinct, Ca2+-dependent transduction pathways.
In neutrophils and HL-60 cells differentiated into neutrophil-like cells,
, β,
, and
appear to be the main PKC isotypes involved in NADPH oxidase activation by most physiologic agonists, as shown by studies using antisense strategy, pharmacological inhibitors, or knockout [105
, 123
, 122
, 130
131
132
]. However, their respective contribution in regulating NADPH oxidase has not been well documented yet. Conventional PKCs are pointed out as participants for regulating NADPH oxidase in neutrophils. By down-regulating the enzyme activity through an antisense oligonucleotide strategy, Korchak et al. [105
] established that PKCβ and -
are required for a full fMLF- and PMA-mediated superoxide anion production in neutrophil-like HL-60 cells. Consistent with this assumption, PKCβ antisense inhibits phosphorylation and translocation of p47phox induced by fMLF, providing evidence for the involvement of PKCβ in the signaling pathway leading to fMLF- and PMA-mediated NADPH oxidase activation. In addition to PKC
, PKCβII expressed in human neutrophils can phosphorylate p47phox and induce its translocation and NADPH oxidase activation [133
]. Thus, downstream effects of conventional, Ca2+-activated PKCs include a direct phosphorylation of p47phox, which leads to membrane translocation of cytosolic components (Fig. 1)
.
Ca2+-regulated cytosolic PLA2 (cPLA2)
Many agonists that stimulate superoxide anion production in phagocytic cells cause the release of arachidonic acid from membrane phospholipids via the hydrolysis of fatty acids from the sn-2 position of membrane phospholipids by PLA2 [134
135
136
]. Several PLA2 isoforms have been described including a cPLA2, which is activated rapidly by increased [Ca2+]c. Stimulation of cells induces an immediate and transient translocation of cPLA2 to nuclear membranes [137
]. Evidence that cPLA2 is recruited at the plasma membrane comes from an intracellular distribution study of cPLA2 in neutrophils and granulocyte-like PLB-985 cells [138
]. Although underlying mechanisms are not totally understood, it is known that cPLA2 is involved in the regulation of phagocytic cell superoxide anion production. In response to a variety of soluble and particulate stimuli, NADPH oxidase activation is impaired in cPLA2-deficient, differentiated PLB-985, but addition of arachidonic acid is able to rescue NADPH oxidase activity [139
, 140
]. Subsequently, Pessach et al. [141
] described a normal translocation of oxidase cytosolic components in activated, differentiated PLB-985 cells lacking cPLA2 or in neutrophils treated with cPLA2 inhibitors [141
]. Thus, cPLA2 is not required for translocation of cytosolic factors to membranes [139
, 140
]. Taken together, these data have a substantial implication: cPLA2 serves a critical role in oxidase activation after the assembly of enzyme complex in neutrophils. Arachidonic acid may mediate structural changes in NADPH oxidase component triggering interaction between oxidase subunits or affecting the function of flavocytochrome b558 [142
]. Another alternative idea puts forward the fact that arachidonic acid might be a cofactor enhancing the affinity of the assembled NADPH oxidase for NADPH, probably via induction of structural changes [138
].
As cPLA2 deficiency is associated with profound effects on NADPH oxidase activity, cPLA2 activation mechanisms by Ca2+ mobilization need to be investigated further. A limited number of studies focused on this signaling pathway in a variety of cells. Indeed, it is shown that translocation of cPLA2 is dependent on [Ca2+]c elevation [143
, 144
], and PKC
is required for cPLA2 activity [145
], supporting evidence that Ca2+ regulates NADPH oxidase through the PKC/cPLA2/arachidonic acid pathway. However, no clear proof exists for such a regulation in neutrophils, and further studies are needed to elucidate the exact involvement of cPLA2 in NADPH oxidase activity of these cells.
Ca2+-regulated S100 proteins
In the present nomenclature, gp91phox homologous NADPH oxidase found in non-phagocytic cells is referred to as Nox enzymes (gp91phox is specified as Nox2). Five Nox proteins are described in humans with distinct tissue distribution. Nox5, essentially expressed in lymphoid tissues and in testis [146
], is distinguished from the other Nox proteins by an additional N-terminal extension containing three canonical and one noncanonical EF-hand motifs. These four calcium-binding sites allow Nox5 to be sensitive to the presence of Ca2+. A recent study demonstrated that [Ca2+]c elevation triggers a conformational change in the Nox5 N terminus, leading to NADPH oxidase activation through an interaction between the regulatory N terminus and C terminal catalytic domain [147
]. In contrast to Nox5, no EF-hand domains have been found in Nox2. However, a potential role of Ca2+ in NADPH oxidase activation via S100A8 and S100A9 has been found in granulocytes [148
]. In human neutrophils, Lemarchand et al. [149
] described that the translocation of myeloid-related proteins, belonging to the family of S100 proteins, namely S100A8 and S100A9, is dependent on extracellular Ca2+. Moreover, the absence of S100A8 recruitment to the plasma membrane correlated with a decrease in superoxide anion production, which supports a role for this S100 protein in the potentialization of the oxidative response [149
]. Elevation of [Ca2+]c by ionomycin results in a change of the phosphorylation level of S100A9, and identical observations have been made following neutrophil exposure to different stimuli (chemotactic peptide or phorbol ester) [150
], hence the translocation process in relation to the phosphorylation status of Thr113 (penultimate amino acid of the C-terminal part in S100A9) [151
] is questionable. Recently, attention has been directed to p38 MAPK as a potential protein kinase mediating S100A9 phosphorylation, and some experimental findings support this suggestion: Stimulation with fMLF markedly enhances phosphorylation of S100A9, and pretreatment with p38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580 abolishes fMLF-induced phosphorylation, indicating that S100A9 (although in a heterodimeric complex with S100A8) is a direct substrate of p38 MAPK in human neutrophils; and in the presence of p38 MAPK, S100A9 peptides that contain Thr113 show an increase in mass [152
]. As fMLF stimulation mediates a significant increase in S100A9 localized to the base of lamellipodia and as phosphorylated S100A8/S100A9 associates with F-actin, it can be assumed that phosphorylation results in S100A9 translocation. Biochemical analysis and confocal microscopic analysis established that S100A9 translocates to the plasma membrane, secretory vesicle, and gelatinase granules dependently on p38 MAPK-mediated phosphorylation. Although the mechanism of S100 protein translocation is not yet fully understood, phosphorylation is clearly involved in this process [152
]. When an extracellular, Ca2+-independent stimulus is used, S100A9 proteins, which are markedly phosphorylated, and S100A8 proteins, which are phosphorylated weakly, do not translocate [153
], indicating that phosphorylation is strictly dependent on Ca2+ influx. Subsequent to Ca2+ fixation, a heterocomplex is formed by a noncovalent association of Ca2+-binding proteins S100A8 and S100A9 [154
, 155
]. Using an immunofluorescence approach, it has been reported that in bovine neutrophils stimulated by PMA [156
], these S100 proteins are concentrated under the plasma membrane with cytosolic phox proteins. A similar observation is made for S100A8 in human neutrophils [155
]. S100A8/S100A9 heterodimers appear to interact preferentially with p67phox and might favor the organization of the cytosolic factors and enhance their recruitment to the membrane-bound flavocytochrome b558, acting as scaffold proteins (Fig. 1)
. Berthier et al. [157
] confirmed, in a semirecombinant, cell-free system, increased affinity of p67phox for flavocytochrome b558 inferred by S100A8/S100A9. According to these authors, S100 proteins interact directly with flavocytochrome b558 and mediate its transition from an inactive to an active conformation state, resulting in NADPH oxidase activation. Preincubation of S100A8/S100A9 in the absence of Ca2+ led to an interaction with flavocytochrome b558 but not to a conformational change, supporting the fact that Ca2+, through S100 binding, is required for NADPH oxidase activity [157
]. Determination of specific interactions of the S100 complex with flavocytochrome b558 by atomic force microscopy [157
] has been confirmed later by the same group using different experimental systems. A combination of ex-vivo and in-vitro methods followed by flavocytochrome b558 purification provides evidence for the activation of flavocytochrome b558 by the recombinant S100 complex in the absence of phox cytosolic factors and arachidonic acid [158
]. On the other hand, protein–protein interaction studies based on pull-down assays in a semirecombinant system similar to the one of Berthier et al. [157
] reveal that p67phox and Rac proteins might interact with the S100 complex [159
]. This controversy about the site of S100 complex interaction could be explained by the use of different neutrophil model systems and different methods to investigate protein interactions. However, the transition of cytochrome b558 to an activated state appears to be a result of the binding of the S100 complex.
NADPH oxidase is also dependent on cPLA2-mediated arachidonic acid formation, which binds reversibly with high affinity to a heterocomplex formed by S100A8 and S100A9 [156
]. By adding S100A8/S100A9 complexes to a semi-recombinant system comprising bovine neutrophil membranes, cytosolic phox proteins, GTP
S-loaded Rac2, and the optimal amount of arachidonic acid, Kerkhoffs and Doussières groups [159
, 160
] demonstrated that binding of arachidonic acid to the S100 heterodimer is a critical step to promote NADPH oxidase activation. Mutant S100A8/S100A9 complexes, unable to bind arachidonic acid, only exhibit a slight variation of oxidase activity in comparison with wild-type recombinant S100 complexes. S100A8/S100A9 complexes facilitate NADPH oxidase activation by transferring arachidonic acid to the NADPH oxidase complex [159
]. In fact, S100 proteins binding to arachidonic acid may increase NADPH oxidase activity by decreasing the deactivation rate [160
]. Thus, S100 protein translocation to the plasma membrane together with p67phox, p47phox, and Rac supports the hypothesis that these proteins might deliver bound arachidonic acid in a Ca2+-dependent manner to the NADPH oxidase [157
].
Ca2+-regulated Rac activation
First, evidence that activation of the monomeric G protein in neuronal cells is dependent on [Ca2+]c has been reported by Farnsworth et al. [161
]. They proposed that the exchange factor Ras-guanine nucleotide-releasing factor activity is regulated by Ca2+ mobilization through a mechanism involving the Ca2+-calmodulin complex. Later, Valentin et al. [4
] determinated that Ca2+ influx plays a primordial role in plasma membrane translocation of Rac (Fig. 1)
by demonstrating that extracellular Ca2+ deprivation abolishes Rac membrane recruitment stimulated by fMLF in differentiated HL-60 cells. A calmodulin antagonist does not induce variations of Rac translocation stimulated by fMLF; in these conditions, the mechanism might be different than the one described by Farnsworth et al. [161
]. By studying the localization of Rac in human prostate carcinoma cells following activation with thapsigargin, Price et al. [162
] established that [Ca2+]c elevation induces a temporary increase in Rac translocation to the plasma membrane, emphasizing the fact that this phenomenon is promoted by extracellular Ca2+ entry (Fig. 1)
. These authors proposed that the [Ca2+]c rise triggers PKC-dependent Rho-GDI phosphorylation, leading to Rac dissociation of the Rac-Rho-GDI complex and subsequent translocation of Rac to the plasma membrane. Rac translocation is correlated with its activation [163
], but it appears likely that both events are regulated independently. The activation of Rac by a chemoattractant has been reported to be independent on [Ca2+]c changes, but relevant experiments have been performed in Ca2+-free buffer [164
].
Using bone marrow-derived neutrophils from RhoG knockout mice, Condliffe et al. [165
] showed a reduction of fMLF-induced oxidant production but an unaltered response to PMA and opsonized zymosan. This reduction of oxidase activation is associated with a partial decrease of Rac protein activation. The authors hypothesized that RhoG acts on a subset of Rac required for targeted oxidase assembly or for determining its precise cellular localization. In spite of this, the precise target of calcium ions remains unknown, but it is possible that Ca2+ influx may impact on Rac activity through the regulation of RhoG.

REGULATION OF Ca2+ INFLUX BY ACTIVATION OF THE NADPH OXIDASE
Activation of the NADPH oxidase is associated with the electrogenic
transfer of electrons to molecular oxygen across the plasma
membrane, generating a decrease in membrane potential. Accumulation
of negative charges on one side of the membrane by activated
neutrophils would turn off further electron transfer, prematurely
interrupting the killing process of pathogens. To preserve electroneutrality
and to allow for the extrusion of the intracellular acid released
in the cytosol during the hydrolysis of NADPH and its resynthesis
by the hexose monophosphate shunt, the most efficient mechanism
would be to extrude H
+ ions from the cells through a proton
pathway [
166
,
167
]. Proton channels responsible for H
+ efflux
were originally proposed by the group of Lydia Henderson [
168
]
to be contained within the gp91
phox subunit of NADPH oxidase.
However, the experimental evidence regarding the H
+ channel
function of gp91
phox remains contradictory, and a body of evidence
indicates that a protein other than the transmembrane oxidase
subunit gp91
phox could act as a voltage-gated proton channel
(for a review, see ref. [
169
]).
As two depolarizing agents, KCl and a pore-forming ionophore gramicidin D, reduced the [Ca2+]c increase caused by fMLF, it has been suggested that plasma membrane depolarization in human neutrophils is a physiological feedback mechanism inhibiting [Ca2+]c changes [170
]. Later, effects of fMLF on SOCE were investigated in neutrophil granulocytes of patients suffering from chronic granulomatous disease, who possess a deficient NADPH oxidase activity and an attenuation of depolarization following fMLF stimulation. By using an indirect Mn2+/fura-2 fluorescence-quenching procedure, accelerated Ca2+ influx has been observed in these cells, suggesting that depolarization impairs uncontrolled Ca2+ influx in triggering early attenuation of store-operated Ca2+ uptake and restricting Ca2+ influx [171
, 172
]. Failure of depolarization in chronic granulomatous disease is associated with Ca2+ overload as a result of accelerated influx of the cation and hyperactivity of several proinflammatory activities of these cells [173
]. The correlation between inhibition of depolarization and Ca2+ influx through opened SOCs [174
] is supported by experiments in genetically modified neutrophilic cell lines unable to produce superoxide anions but possessing SOCE mechanism. More evidence involving NADPH oxidase activation in the restriction of SOCE in fMLF-activated neutrophils is derived from experiments using a selective inhibitor of NADPH oxidase, diphenyleneiodonium. This agent accelerates the rates of membrane repolarization and SOCE by preventing plasma membrane depolarization [173
174
175
]. Furthermore, K+ ionophore valinomycin, which allowed increased charge compensation, decreased depolarization-potentiated, chemoattractant-mediated [Ca2+]c. The enhanced Ca2+ permeability across the plasma membrane could be explained again by an increase of the driving force for Ca2+. This notion is supported by experiments where a decrease in the concentration of external Ca2+ added to thapsigargin-pretreated cells from 500 to 50 µM resulted in a measurable impairment of Ca2+ entry [171
]. The general hypothesis is that when the cells are depolarized, the driving force for Ca2+ influx is markedly decreased as a result of elimination of the electrical component of the electrochemical gradient for Ca2+. The driving force for Ca2+ ions as a result of the extensive depolarization following stimulation is certainly ample enough to cause detectable diminution of Ca2+ influx by itself.
NADPH oxidase regulates neutrophil Ca2+ influx not only via its electrogenic activity but also as a consequence of ROS generation. This phenomenon is well documented by the recent work of Tintinger et al. [176
], which focused on the effects of neutrophil-derived ROS on SOCE. Treatment of cells with catalase potentiates the rate and the magnitude of store-operated uptake of Ca2+ [176
]. Furthermore, inhibitors of myeloperoxidase (enzyme catalazing the formation of HOCl) shorten the time to onset of Ca2+ influx, prolong the linear phase of influx, and increase the magnitude of store-operated uptake of Ca2+. A putative target of derived ROS has been identified, linking the redox state to Ca2+ homeostasis. The non-selective cation channel TRPM2, a member of the TRP family, is recognized to have an oxidative sensitivity and be positively regulated by H2O2. In TRPM2-transfected HEK-293 cells, Ca2+ is increased rapidly by H2O2 stimulation, suggesting the possibility that oxidative stress mediates influx of Ca2+ through TRPM2 in granulocytes [177
].
NADPH oxidase also has a physiological relevance in controlling Ca2+ influx in neutrophils. It seems to fulfill a physiologically important, anti-inflammatory function by preventing a Ca2+ overload and hyper-reactivity of neutrophils. An activation of NADPH oxidase activity could constitute an interesting pharmacological strategy. However, NADPH oxidase is also potentially involved in the activation of the Ca2+ pathway, and the potentialization of its activity may be accompanied by a risk of oxidant-mediated toxicity.

Ca2+ CHANNELS AS PHARMACOLOGICAL TARGETS
Neutrophilic lung inflammation is an essential component of
host defense against various pathogens. During activation, neutrophils
release ROS, triggering the inactivation of protease inhibitors,
which protect lung tissue from proteolytic damage. Infiltration
and persistent presence of neutrophils in response to chronic
inflammatory airway diseases, such as chronic obstructive lung
disease, asthma, cystic fibrosis, and bronchiolitis, aggravate
lung tissue damage observed in these diseases. Few available
therapeutic agents efficiently down-regulate neutrophil proinflammatory
activity by reducing local neutrophil infiltration. However,
neurophils are reported to be relatively insensitive to such
chemotherapeutic strategies, and development of alternative
treatment is undoubtely required.
Given the critical involvement of [Ca2+]c elevation in the regulation of ROS generation and thus, in the proinflammatory activities of neutrophils, Ca2+ channel inhibition holds considerable therapeutic promise. TRP and Orai channels, emerging candidates for store-operated and nonstore-operated channels, may be potential drug targets, and their inhibition might offer anti-inflammatory, therapeutical benefits for treating pulmonary diseases responsible for progressive lung degradation (see Tintinger and Steel [178
] for review).
A diversity of inorganic channel inhibitors (lanthanides, divalent cations, Gd3+) or organic SOCE inhibitors, including channel blockers (SK&F 96365, 2-APB), has been described (reviewed by Putney [179
]). In most instances, the exact mechanisms by which they interfere with SOCs remain to be established, and nonspecific effects as a result of interference with other mechanisms important for Ca2+ signals, such as Ca2+ pumps, mitochondrial Ca2+ homeostasis, Ca2+ release, and activity of K+ channels, cannot be excluded. For example, 2-ABP has been shown to potentiate and block Ca2+ entry into cells [180
], and it inhibits InsP3 receptor-mediated Ca2+ release [181
]. Similar antagonistic effects are observed with SK&F 96365 [182
]; also, an activation of intracellular Ca2+ depletion in various cell types at different concentrations can be observed using those inhibitors [183
]. Recently, it was been documented that a pyrazole derivative, named BTP2, inhibits SOCE in human neutrophils [107
], potentially by interfering with TRPC channels from the extracellular space [184
]. Preincubation of BTP2 clearly reduces superoxide anion production, having no effect on phagocytosis or intraphagosomal radical production [107
]. These findings make SOCs excellent targets for down-regulating the inflammatory response without impairing bacterial killing. Similarly, MRS1845 seems to represent a new, promising candidate for selective SOC inhibitors and could be used as a lead for drug design [104
, 105
].
Other pharmacological drugs, such as tenidap [5-chloro-2,3-dihydro-3-(hydroxy-2-thienylmethylene)-2-oxo-1H-indole-1-carboxamide], could also be used as an inhibitor of the Ca2+ influx pathway or channels in nonexcitable cells, as they are known to modify thapsigargin-induced Ca2+ entry across the plasma membrane [185
]. Given the importance of Ca2+ influx in NADPH oxidase activation, it is attractive to speculate that tenipad is able to alter the functioning of this enzyme that mediates inflammatory responses. In agreement with this hypothesis, tenidap has been shown to attenuate superoxide anion production by activated neutrophils [186
]. However, tenidap has no effect on the generation of superoxide anions by NADPH oxidase reconstituted from fractionated neutrophil lysates; only inhibition of xanthine oxidase is observed [187
]. Similar conclusions are provided with the imidazole antimycotic, itraconazole: Interference with SOCE into human neutrophils does not appear to affect the NADPH oxidase [188
].
One of the major difficulties for the development of anti-inflammatory drugs targeting TRP channels is linked to the expression of TRPC in many different cell types. Any potential drugs might be associated with nondesired effects if not applied strictly, locally. Meaningful progress can be obtained by developing alternative strategies, in which drugs may be devolved, which are directed against the activation mechanisms upstream of TRP channels. Some of these mechanisms might be sufficiently unique to allow a specific targeting of neutrophils as observed in TRPM2 activation [189
].

CONCLUSION
Evidence is provided that SOCE plays a fundamental role in host
defense by regulating the oxidative response in human neutrophils.
Several targets of Ca
2+ ions involved in NADPH oxidase control
are resolved, such as PKC

, PKCβII, S100 proteins, or cPLA
2,
but further insight is needed to identify other pathway-activated
NADPH oxidase and apparently sensitive Ca
2+ influx, particularly
in view of the influence of the granulocyte cellular microenvironment.
It appears that the latter may selectively modify the transduction
pathways associated with NADPH oxidase, although Ca
2+ influx
may represent the ab initio signal for superoxide anion secretion.
The discovery of a selectively targeted transduction intersection
in Ca
2+-dependent NADPH oxidase activation might allow for selection
of specific inhibitors that modify this signaling process and
thus, might be therapeutically useful in chronic and acute inflammatory
diseases engendered by an excessive activation of the NADPH
oxidase. However, it must be stressed that the mechanism of
SOCE is surrounded by multiple contradictions, but some important
Ca
2+ routes have been resolved, where TRPC, Orai1, and STIM1
are important actors that demonstrated their clear involvement
in NADPH oxidase circuitous control. However, as a result of
some of these inconsistencies, therapeutic approaches could
not be exploited adequately for now. Dissection of the mechanism
linking Ca
2+ store depletion to SOCs channel activation as well
as the nature of these Ca
2+ channels might help to characterize
the regulation of superoxide anion release and serve as targets
for pharmacological drug development in inflammatory diseases.
