title: New insights into store-independent Ca(2+) entry: secretory pathway calcium ATPase 2 in normal physiology and cancer.
abstract: Recent studies in secretory pathway calcium ATPases (SPCA) revealed novel functions of SPCA2 in interacting with store-operated Ca(2+) channel Orai1 and inducing Ca(2+) influx at the cell surface. Importantly, SPCA2-mediated Ca(2+) signaling is uncoupled from its conventional role of Ca(2+)-ATPase and independent of store-operated Ca(2+) signaling pathway. SPCA2-induced store-independent Ca(2+) entry (SICE) plays essential roles in many important physiological processes, while unbalanced SICE leads to enhanced cell proliferation and tumorigenesis. Finally, we have summarized the clinical implication of SICE in oral cancer prognosis and treatment. Inhibition of SICE may be a new target for the development of cancer therapeutics.
