The present study aimed to investigate the expression of STIM1 and its downstream molecules Orai1/TRPC1 in the context of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MIRI) and the effect of STIM1 inhibition on Ca2+ accumulation and apoptosis in H9c2 cardiomyocytes subjected to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R). Here, ORAI1 is linked to myocardial ischemia.
