    Ca 2+ influx from the CRAC and TRPV4 of synovial cells in response to SS, When the Ca 2+ in the endoplasmic reticulum was depleted by SS, CRACR2A directly interacted with the cytoplasmic regions of ORAI1 and STIM1 to form a ternary complex, resulting in the intracellular Ca 2+ uptake from extracellular sources. In the RA FLS cells, STIM1 and CRACR2A were overexpressed compared with the expression in the normal FLS cells, and the regulation of intracellular Ca 2+ concentration significantly depended on CRAC. SS also induced Ca 2+ uptake from the extracellular into the intracellular site via TRPV4 and/or other mechanosensitive Ca 2+ channels. However, there were no significant difference in the expression level of TRPV4 between the normal and RA FLS cells, indicating that TRPV4 exerted the same influence on the regulation of intracellular Ca 2+ concentration in both FLS cell types.
