Exposure of keratinocytes to increasing extracellular calcium concentrations [Ca 2+ o] in the outer epidermis triggers differentiation to form the protective outer layer of skin. Increasing [Ca 2+ o] is detected by the extracellular Ca 2+-sensing receptor which couples to IP 3 generation and leads to depletion of the internal Ca 2+ stores. Subsequent store-operated Ca 2+ entry (SOCE) controls keratinocyte differentiation through effects on the transcriptional control of hundreds of genes. Here we investigate the ionic currents that contribute to SOCE in keratinocytes.Reverse transcription-PCR and immunoblotting indicate expression of STIM1-2, Orai1-3 and multiple TRP family members at both transcript and protein level in a human keratinocyte (HaCaT) cell line. Quantitative PCR revealed Orai1 expression to be 5-fold higher than Orai2/3, and STIM1 expression 18-fold higher than STIM2. To maximise SOCE, HaCaT Ca 2+ stores were depleted by bathing cells in nominally Ca 2+-free solution containing 2µM thapsigargin before reintroducing 2mM Ca 2+ to the extracellular solution. Whole-cell currents recorded from HaCaTs in response to re-introduction of 2mM Ca 2+ o were typically biphasic and consisted of a ‘fast’inward current, which reached a peak magnitude of 62.6±10.9 pA/pF within 10-20 s (n= 4) before decaying to a sustained inward current plateau of 10.1±1.7 pA/pF (n= 4). The plateau likely reflects maintained SOCE since the stores are unable to refill due to thapsigarin exposure. The plateau was partially inhibited by the Orai inhibitor GSK-7975A (1 µM; inhibition 77.6±13.7%; n= 4), although voltage ramps run during the plateau phase generated an outwardly-rectifying current, inconsistent with Orai-mediated currents.
