    (a,b) Cytosolic Ca2+ signals in naïve (a) and activated (b) CD4+ T cells isolated from wild-type and Lrrc8c−/− mice. Fura-2-loaded T cells were stimulated by anti-CD3 cross-linking in 2 mM Ca2+ containing Ringer solution followed by ionomycin (Iono) stimulation (in a) or thapsigargin (TG) in Ca2+-free buffer followed by re-addition of extracellular Ca2+ (in b). Averaged Ca2+ traces (left) and quantification of the area under the curve (AUC, right) in the regions indicated by the dotted lines (n=9 mice/genotype, pooled from 3 independent experiments). (c) Plasma membrane potential (Vm) in wild-type and Lrrc8c−/− CD4+ T cells activated with CD3+CD28 and measured by patch-clamping. Gigaohm seals were stablished in isotonic solution in voltage-clamp configuration and cells were treated with TG for at least 5 min before recording Vm (n=8 cells/genotype, pooled from 2 independent experiments). (d,e) Cytosolic Ca2+ signals in wild-type and Lrrc8c−/− T cells stimulated with anti-CD3+CD28 and treated or not with STING agonists. T cells were stimulated with TG in Ca2+-containing Ringer buffer. Averaged Ca2+ traces (d) and quantification of the AUC (e) in the regions indicated by the dotted lines (n=10 mice/genotype, pooled from 5 independent experiments). (f) Cytosolic Ca2+ signals in T cells treated or not with STING inhibitor H-151 and idasanutlin (abbreviated as nutlin) using a similar protocol as in (d).

Representative contour plots (left) and quantification (right) of IL-2+ and IFN-γ+ CD4+ T cells (n=10 mice per genotype, pooled from 6 independent experiments). (i) Schematic representation of LRRC8C regulating Ca2+ signals in T cells. CDNs influx via LRRC8C leads to STING activation and p53 stabilization, which in turn suppresses Ca2+ signals in T cells (Created with BioRender.com). All data are mean ± s.e.m. and were analyzed by two-tailed, unpaired Student’s t test. **P < 0.01 and ***P < 0.001.
