Calcium (Ca2+) homeostasis is a critical determinant of cellular function and survival. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) acts as the largest intracellular Ca2+ store that maintains Ca2+ homeostasis through ER Ca2+ uptake pump, sarco/ER-Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA), ER Ca2+ release channels, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor channel (IP3R) and ryanodine receptor (RyR), and Ca2+-binding proteins inside the ER lumen. Alterations in ER homeostasis triggers ER Ca2+ depletion and ER stress, which is associated with development of a variety of diseases. In addition, recent studies have highlighted the role of ER Ca2+ imbalance caused by dysfunction of SERCA, RyR and IP3R in various kidney diseases. Despite the progress in understanding the importance of these ER Ca2+ channels, pumps and binding proteins in the pathogenesis of kidney disease, the treatment is still lacking. In this mini review, we will focus on: (1) Ca2+ homeostasis in the ER, (2) ER Ca2+ dyshomeostasis and apoptosis and (3) altered ER Ca2+ homeostasis in kidney disease, including podocytopathy, diabetic nephropathy, albuminuria, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, and ischemia/reperfusion-induced acute kidney injury.
