Y143D-S1PR1 augments [Ca2+ ] i in a Gi-dependent manner. (A) Traces showing increase in [Ca2+]i in response to 1 μM S1P from HUVEC transducing vector, GFP-WT-S1PR1, GFP-Y143F-, or GFP-Y143D-S1PR1 mutants. (B) Mean ± SD of [Ca2+]i from 6–10 cells in a field from experiments repeated multiple times. Basal Ca2+ (−) analyzed at 45 s; peak increase in Ca2+ analyzed at 90 s. ***, P < 0.0001 compared with unstimulated vector or WT-S1PR1; ###, P < 0.0001 compared with S1P-stimulated WT-S1PR1 by one-way ANOVA with two-tailed paired t test. (C) [Ca2+]i (+) in response to 1 μM S1P from ECs expressing cDNA as in A after pretreatment with PTX (50 μM) for 2 h. (D) Mean ± SD of [Ca2+]i from 6–10 cells in a field from experiments repeated multiple times. Basal Ca2+ (−) analyzed at 45 s; peak increase in Ca2+ analyzed at 90 s. ***, P < 0.0001 compared with unstimulated vector or WT-S1PR1; ###, P < 0.0001 compared with S1P-stimulated WT-S1PR1 by one-way ANOVA with two-tailed paired t test. (E) Pulldown of Gi with S1PR1 from ECs expressing vector or S1PR1 cDNA as in A. Anti-GFP antibody was used for pulldown. Immunocomplexes were probed using anti-Giα antibody. β-Actin was used as a loading control. (F) Densitometry of Giα normalized against β-actin. Experiments were repeated three times independently. (G) ER Ca2+ release versus SOCE from ECs transducing cDNAs as in A. ECs bathed in Ca2+-free medium were stimulated with 1 μM S1P to determine Ca2+ release (first peak). After Ca2+ declined to basal level, 1.5 mM Ca2+ was readded to induce SOCE. (H) Mean ± SD of [Ca2+]i (n = 7–10 cells/group) from experiments repeated three times. Basal Ca2+ (−) was analyzed at 20 s; peak increase in Ca2+ from the ER was analyzed at 45 s, while peak of SOCE was analyzed 210 s. *, P < 0.05; ***, P < 0.0001 compared with unstimulated vector or WT-S1PR1; ###, P < 0.0001 compared with WT-S1PR1 after S1P stimulation by one-way ANOVA with two-tailed paired t test.
