Orai1 and the associated calcium release-activated calcium (CRAC) channel were discovered in the immune system. Existence also in endothelial cells has been suggested but the relevance to endothelial biology is mostly unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the relevance of Orai1 and CRAC channels to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and endothelial tube formation. In human umbilical vein endothelial cells Orai1 disruption by short-interfering RNA or dominant-negative mutant Orai1 inhibited calcium-release-activated (store-operated) calcium entry, VEGF-evoked calcium-entry, cell migration, and in vitro tube formation. Expression of exogenous wild-type Orai1 rescued the tube formation. VEGF receptor-2 and Orai1 partially co-localized. Orai1 disruption also inhibited calcium-entry and tube formation in endothelial progenitor cells from human blood. A known blocker of the immune cell CRAC channel (3-fluoropyridine-4-carboxylic acid (2′,5′-dimethoxybiphenyl-4-yl)amide) was a strong blocker of store-operated calcium entry in endothelial cells and inhibited calcium-entry evoked by VEGF in three types of human endothelial cell. The compound lacked effect on VEGF-evoked calcium-release, STIM1 clustering, and two types of endothelial TRP channel, TRPC6 and TRPV4. Without effect on cell viability the compound inhibited human endothelial cell migration and tube formation in vitro and suppressed angiogenesis in vivo in the chick chorioallantoic membrane. The compound showed 100-fold greater potency for endothelial compared with immune cell calcium entry. The data suggest positive roles for Orai1 and CRAC channels in VEGF-evoked calcium entry and new opportunity for chemical modulation of angiogenesis.
