Article Title: Impact of SOCE Abolition by ORAI1 Knockout on the Proliferation, Adhesion, and Migration of HEK-293 Cells

doi: 10.3390/cells10113016

Figure Lengend Snippet: ORAI1 knockout (KO) reduces store-operated calcium entry (SOCE). ( A ) Representative traces of a single Ca 2+ imaging experiment. For both panels, all recorded cells are represented with different colored lanes, the mean value is presented in black, and the 95% confidence interval (CI) is shown in grey. Each experiment was repeated at least three times. ORAI1 KO cells exhibit a greatly reduced SOCE compared with wild-type (WT) cells. ( B ) The integrated area of the curve following Ca 2+ addition representing SOCE. Values from each individual cells from three independent experiments are displayed in semitransparent colors (replicate N°1 yellow circles, replicate N°2 blue squares, and replicate N°3 green diamonds). For each experiment, the median values are displayed in plain shapes (replicate N°1 yellow circles, replicate N°2 blue squares, and replicate N°3 green diamonds). Data generated for each experiment were considered nonpaired. Black bars represent the mean and the 95% CI of the three independent experiments. The difference in SOCE between WT HEK-293 cells (mean = 1511 with a 95% CI of 906–2117) compared with ORAI1 KO HEK-293 cells (mean = 282 with a 95% CI of 154–411) was assessed by Welch’s t -test and was significant ( p = 0.007).

( A ) Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) performed on genomic DNA (gDNA) of nonclonal cells corresponding to non-transfected cells and cells transfected with two guide RNAs (gRNAs). Cells transfected with two gRNA present a smaller band (384 bp) indicating the existence of recombination events. ( B ) PCR performed on gDNA of single-cell-derived clones. Clones 1, 3, and 5 presenting a single band around the expected size (384 bp) were selected for further experiments. ( C ) PCR performed on gDNA of wild type (WT) and ORAI1 KO HEK-293 cells. The ORAI1 KO clone presents a lower band indicating successful ORAI1 gene deletion. ( D ) Western blot analysis of WT and ORAI1 KO HEK-293 cells. WT cells exhibit an ORAI1 band around 37 kDa, while ORAI1 KO cells lack this band.

Figure Lengend Snippet: ORAI1 knockout (KO) modifies HEK-293 cell migration properties. ( A ) Comparison of the adhesive properties of wild type (WT) and ORAI1 KO cells. Data points represent the percentage of adhered cells after an incubation for 1 h at 37 °C. Plain circles represent the mean values of individual replicates (R1, R2, R3, and R4); semitransparent circles display individual data points within each replicate. The mean values of the four replicates are indicated as black bars ± standard deviation (CI). The difference in adhesion between WT cells (25.56% ± standard deviation [SD] 6.90%) and KO ORAI1 cells (22.49% ± 8.61%) was assessed with Welch’s t -test for nonpaired data and was not significant ( p = 0.6; mean difference between conditions = −3.07% with a 95% CI of −16.73 to 10.59).

Dotted boxes represent the mean expression level of ORAI2 and ORAI3 mRNA measured by quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) from four independent experiments. The levels of ORAI2 and ORAI3 mRNA in wild-type (WT) HEK-293 cells were arbitrarily set at 1. In ORAI1 KO cells, ORAI2 (low-density dots, left box) and ORAI3 (high-density dots, right box) are downregulated ( ORAI2 relative mean expression level 0.42 with a 95% confidence interval [CI] of 0.19–0.87; ORAI3 relative mean expression level 0.20 with a 95% CI of 0.07–0.60 compared with WT.

Figure Lengend Snippet: ORAI1 knockout (KO) does not affect proliferation of HEK-293 cells. ( A ) The doubling time of wild type (WT) and ORAI1 KO HEK-293 cells was measured by cell counting over a 5–6 day period. Semitransparent dots represent each doubling time calculated from one experiment (6–14 points per experiment). Plain colored circles display the mean of seven independent experiments. Black lanes represent the median value of each individual experiment and their 95% confidence interval (CI). The difference in the mean doubling time between condition was calculated by using Welch’s t -test and was not significant (WT doubling time of 25.77 h with a 95% CI of 23.75–27.79 h; ORAI1 KO doubling time of 26.81 h with a 95% CI of 24.18–29.43 h; difference between the conditions = 1.04 h; Welch’s t -test p = 0.426). ( B ) The normalized cell proliferation rate assessed by the SRB assay 5 days after seeding WT and ORAI1 KO HEK-293 cells. The semitransparent dots represent single values obtained within each experiment (eight measurements). The median values of three independent experiments are displayed in plain colored circles. The black lanes indicate the mean value of the three individual experiments and their 95% CI (WT = 9.29 with a 95% CI of 6.44–12.14; ORAI1 KO = 9.58 with a 95% CI of 6.73–12.44). The significance of the difference between conditions (−0.29 with a 95% CI of 1.83–2.42) was calculated with Welch’s t -test ( p = 0.721).
