PG - 17293 LID - 10.1038/s41598-019-53535-1 [doi] LID - 17293 AB - A possible role for calcium signalling in the autosomal dominant form of dementia, familial encephalopathy with neuroserpin inclusion bodies (FENIB), has been proposed, which may point towards a mechanism by which cells could sense and respond to the accumulation of mutant serpin polymers in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). We therefore explored possible defects in Ca(2+)-signalling, which may contribute to the pathology associated with another serpinopathy, alpha(1)-antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency. Using CHO K1 cell lines stably expressing a wild type human AAT (MAAT) and a disease-causing polymer-forming variant (ZAAT) and the truncated variant (NHK AAT), we measured basal intracellular free Ca(2+), its responses to thapsigargin (TG), an ER Ca(2+)-ATPase blocker, and store-operated Ca(2+)-entry (SOCE). Our fura2 based Ca(2+) measurements detected no differences between these 3 parameters in cell lines expressing MAAT and cell lines expressing ZAAT and NHK AAT mutants. Thus, in our cell-based models of alpha1-antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency, unlike the case for FENIB, we were unable to detect defects in calcium signalling.
