CIC-39Na reverses the thrombocytopenia that characterizes tubular aggregate myopathy Open
Store-operated Ca2+-entry is a cellular mechanism that governs the replenishment of intracellular stores of Ca2+ upon depletion caused by the opening of intracellular Ca2+-channels. Gain-of-function mutations of the 2 key proteins of store…

Dissecting the Mechanism of Action of Spiperone—A Candidate for Drug Repurposing for Colorectal Cancer Open
Approximately 50% of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients still die from recurrence and metastatic disease, highlighting the need for novel therapeutic strategies. Drug repurposing is attracting increasing attention because, compared to tradit…

1,2,4-Oxadiazole-Bearing Pyrazoles as Metabolically Stable Modulators of Store-Operated Calcium Entry Open
Store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) is a pivotal mechanism in calcium homeostasis, and, despite still being under investigation, its dysregulation is known to be associated with severe human disorders. SOCE modulators are therefore needed …

Early Stimulation of TREK Channel Transcription and Activity Induced by Oxaliplatin-Dependent Cytosolic Acidification Open
Oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy is characterized by an acute hyperexcitability syndrome triggered/exacerbated by cold. The mechanisms underlying oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy are unclear, but the alteration of ion cha…

A luminal EF-hand mutation in STIM1 in mice causes the clinical hallmarks of tubular aggregate myopathy Open
STIM and ORAI proteins play a fundamental role in calcium signaling, allowing for calcium influx through the plasma membrane upon depletion of intracellular stores, in a process known as store-operated Ca2+ entry. Point mutations that lead…

Pyrtriazoles, a Novel Class of Store-Operated Calcium Entry Modulators: Discovery, Biological Profiling, and in Vivo Proof-of-Concept Efficacy in Acute Pancreatitis Open
In recent years, channels that mediate store-operated calcium entry (SOCE, i.e., the ability of cells to sense a decrease in endoplasmic reticulum luminal calcium and induce calcium entry across the plasma membrane) have been associated wi…
