ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the effect of calcium release-activated calcium channel modulator 1 (ORAI1) on the migration and invasion of colon cancer cell line SW480 and its mechanism. Methods:The SW480 cells were infected with ORAI interference lentivirus. The expression of ORAI1 mRNA and protein was confirmed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot. Transwell chamber, adhesion, angiogenesis, and vasculogenic mimicry experiments were conducted to detect the ability of cell invasion, migration, and angiogenesis and the intercellular adhesion of homogeneous and heterogeneous cells among each group. Confocal microscopy was employed to detect the difference of store-operated Ca2+entry (SOCE) in each group. Western blott was used to detect the expression of ERK1/2, p-ERK1/2, MMP-2, VEGF, and E-cadherin protein. Results:After the infection of SW480 with the ORAI1 interference lentivirus for 72 h, significant fluorescence expression was observed. Compared with the empty vector group and control group, the expression of ORAI1 was lower in the interference group (P<0.01). Invasion and migration ability decreased (P<0.01); the intercellular adhesion ability of homogeneous cells increased (P<0.05); the intercellular adhesion ability of heterogeneous cells decreased (P<0.05);the angiogenesi and vasculogenic mimicry were enhanced (P<0.01);the internal flow peak of SOCE was low (P<0.05); the expression of p-ERK1/2, MMP-2, and VEGF proteins decreased (P<0.01); and the expression of E-cadherin protein increased (P<0.01). Conclusion:ORAI1 may promote the migration and invasion of SW480. This mechanism may be associated with the increase of SOCE.
