Store operated calcium entry(SOCE) is known to play a pivotal role in DCs functions including migration, maturation and antigen-presenting ability. Orail, the major component of SOCE which mainly pairs with Stim1, is surely involved in the regulation of DCs functions. Leptin is recently found to mature DCs, we aim to evaluate the role of Orail in leptin-induced dendritic cells(DCs) maturation process and elucidate the mechanism. To this end, Flow cytometry and ELISA were utilized to detect the costimulatory molecule CD86 expression and IL-12 secretion, respectively. Transwell assay was used to examine DCs migration capacity. To evaluate the activity of SOCE, calcium(Ca2+) imaging was performed. Firstly, we confirmed the positive effects of leptin upon SOCE and Orail expression in DCs isolated from mouse bone marrow. Secondly, we showed that the effects of leptin on DCs migration and maturation are Orail dependent. Moreover, Janus kinase 2(Jak2) silencing inhibited leptin-induced Orail expression and influenced DCs functions including migration and maturation as well as IL-12 secretion. In conclusion, our results imply that leptin regulates Orail by activating Jak2 signaling pathway, hence facilitating DCs migration and maturation. (C) 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
