Figure Legend Snippet: Knockdown of ORAI1 inhibits cytosolic calcium elevation during oxytosis. HT22S cells were transfected with two different siRNAs against ORAI1 or non-targeting siRNA as control together with a plasmid encoding the GCaMP5-IRES-RFP Ca 2+ reporter gene and subjected to long-term live-cell imaging experiments to show the detrimental Ca 2+ influx in the late phase of oxidative glutamate toxicity. (a) Typical GCaMP pictures of a control siRNA transfected cell under glutamate exposure. The cytosolic Ca 2+ concentration stays low for several hours, but eventually rises quickly, leading to cell lysis assessed by quenching of the fluorescence signal. The lower panel shows sample traces from glutamate-treated cells transfected with control siRNA, which illustrate the asynchronous appearance of Ca 2+ -spikes. For reasons of clarity, only Ca 2+ -peak positive cells from one well are shown. (b) Analysis of long-term live-cell imaging of GCaMP-IRES-RFP and siRNA-transfected cells under glutamate exposure in comparison to vehicle treatment. For each picture, a GCaMP5/RFP ratio was calculated. To identify peaking cells, the maximal GCaMP/RFP ratio was divided by the average GCaMP/RFP ratio calculated over the whole measurement period. Each cell that reached a value above the average value of control siRNA transfected cells was counted as Ca 2+ -peak positive. The amount of Ca 2+ -peaking cells was normalized to vehicle control and plotted as a bar graph. The bars represent mean±S.E.M. of 15 replicate wells measured in three independent experiments. (c) Analysis of the increase in the GCaMP/RFP ratio in pCPT-cGMP treated HT22 cells transfected with ORAI1 or control siRNA. The slope was normalized to vehicle and plotted as mean±S.E.M. in bar graphs. Two independent experiments were performed containing > 150 cells for each condition. N.S., not significant, * P
