Abstract
Transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels allow the intracellular entry of Ca2+ and play important roles in several physio-pathological processes. In this study, we constructed transgenic mice expressing porcine TRPC1 (Tg-pTRPC1) to verify the effects of TRPC1 on skeletal muscle growth and elucidate the underlying mechanism. Porcine TRPC1 increased the muscle mass, fiber cross-sectional area, and exercise endurance of mice and accelerated muscle repair and regeneration. TRPC1 overexpression enhanced β-catenin expression and promoted myogenesis, which was partly reversed by inhibitors of β-catenin. TRPC1 facilitated the accumulation of intracellular Ca2+ and nuclear translocation of the NFATC2/NFATC2IP complex involved in the Wnt/Ca2+ pathway, promoting muscle growth. Paired related homeobox 1 (Prrx1) promoted the expression of TRPC1, NFATC2, and NFATC2IP that participate in the regulation of muscle growth. Taken together, our findings indicate that porcine TRPC1 promoted by Prrx1 could regulate muscle development through activating the canonical Wnt/β-catenin and non-canonical Wnt/Ca2+ pathways.

Abstract
Background and aim Panax ginseng, a key herbal medicine of replenishing Qi and tonifying Spleen, is widely used in the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases in East Asia. In this study, we aim to investigate the potential effects and mechanisms of polysaccharides from P. ginseng (PGP) on intestinal mucosal restitution which is one of the crucial repair modalities during the recovery of mucosal injury controlled by the Ca2+ signaling. Methods Rat model of intestinal mucosal injury was induced by indomethacin. The fractional cell migration was carried out by immunohistochemistry staining with BrdU. The morphological observations on intestinal mucosal injury were also performed. Intestinal epithelial cell (IEC-6) migration in vitro was conducted by scratch method. Western-blot was adopted to determine the expressions of PLC-γ1, Rac1, TRPC1, RhoA and Cav-1. Immunoprecipitation was used to evaluate the levels of Rac1/PLC-γ1, RhoA/TRPC1 and Cav-1/TRPC1. Results The results showed that PGP effectively reduced the assessment of intestinal mucosal injury, reversed the inhibition of epithelial cell migration induced by Indomethacin, and increased the level of Ca2+ in intestinal mucosa in vivo. Moreover, PGP dramatically promoted IEC-6 cell migration, the expression of Ca2+ regulators (PLC-γ1, Rac1, TRPC1, Cav-1 and RhoA) as well as protein complexes (Rac1/PLC-γ1, Cav-1/TRPC1 and RhoA/TRPC1) in vitro. Conclusion PGP increases the Ca2+ content in intestinal mucosa partly through controlling the regulators of Ca2+ mobilization, subsequently promotes intestinal epithelial cell migration, and then prevents intestinal mucosal injury induced by indomethacin.

Abstract
Intestinal epithelial restitution is partly dependent on cell migration, which reseals superficial wounding after injury. Here, we tested the hypothesis that stromal interaction molecule 1(STIM1) regulates porcine intestinal epithelial cell migration by activating transient receptor potential canonical 1 (TRPC1) signaling. Results showed that the knockdown of STIM1 repressed cell migration after wounding, reduced the protein concentration of STIM1 and TRPC1, and decreased the inositol trisphosphate (IP3) content in IPEC-J2 cells (p < 0.05). However, overexpression of STIM1 obtained opposite results (p < 0.05). The inhibition of TRPC1 activity by treatment with SKF96365 in cells overexpressing wild-type and mutant STIM1 attenuated the STIM1 overexpression-induced increase of cell migration, STIM1, TRPC1 and IP3 (p < 0.05). In addition, polyamine depletion caused by α-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) resulted in the decrease of above-mentioned parameters, and exogenous polyamine could attenuate the negative effects of DFMO on IPEC-J2 cells (p < 0.05). Moreover, the overexpression of STIM1 could rescue cell migration, the protein level of STIM1 and TRPC1, and IP3 content in polyamine-deficient IPEC-J2 cells (p < 0.05). These results indicated that STIM1 could enhance porcine intestinal epithelial cell migration via the TRPC1 signaling pathway. Inhibition of cell migration by polyamine depletion resulted from the reduction of STIM1 activity.

Abstract
Astragalus polysaccharide (APS) has a protective effect on injured intestinal mucosa by promoting intestinal cell migration, but the specific mechanism is unclear. The polyamine-mediated calcium signaling pathway is an important mechanism of cell migration, generally, and we tested the hypothesis that APS can protect damaged intestinal mucosa through the polyamine-mediated calcium signaling pathway. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), infrared chromatography, cell scratch test, Western blot, co-immunoprecipitation, polyamine inhibitor (DFMO), si-Cav1, RhoA inhibitor (Rhosin) and Rac1 inhibitor (NSC23766) were used to detect the pharmacodynamic of APS. The results show that APS can promote cell migration. In addition, APS increased the formations of RhoA/TRPC1, Cav1/TRPC1, and Rac1/PLCγ-1 complexes as well as the expressions of TRPC1, PLCγ-1, RhoA, Cav1, and Rac1, and it reversed the inhibitory effect of DFMO on the above factors. APS also reversed the inhibitory effect of si-Cav1 on Cav1 expression, cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]cyt), and cell migration. Moreover, APS removed the inhibition of NSC23766 and Rhosin on [Ca2+]cyt and cell migration. In vivo study, the water extract of Astragalus membranaceus (WEA) (15 g/kg) reduced the indomethacin-induced injury of intestinal mucosa as well. These observations suggest that APS can treat gastrointestinal mucosal injury through the polyamine calcium signaling pathway.

Abstract
The worldwide prevalence of gastrointestinal diseases is about 40%, with standard pharmacotherapy being long-lasting and economically challenging. Of the dozens of diseases listed by the Rome IV Foundation criteria, for five of them (heartburn, dyspepsia, nausea and vomiting disorder, constipation, and diarrhoea), treatment with herbals is an official alternative, legislatively supported by the European Medicines Agency (EMA). However, for most plants, the Directive does not require a description of the mechanisms of action, which should be related to the therapeutic effect of the European plant in question. This review article, therefore, summarizes the basic pharmacological knowledge of synthetic drugs used in selected functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) and correlates them with the constituents of medicinal plants. Therefore, the information presented here is intended as a starting point to support the claim that both empirical folk medicine and current and decades-old treatments with official herbal remedies have a rational basis in modern pharmacology.

Abstract
Oral glutamine (Gln) has been widely used in gastrointestinal (GI) clinical practice, but it is unclear if Ca2+ regulates intestinal Gln transport, although both of them are essential nutrients for mammals. Chambers were used to determine Gln (25 mM)-induced Isc through Na+/Gln co-transporters in the small intestine in the absence or the presence of selective activators or blockers of ion channels and transporters. Luminal but not serosal application of Gln induced marked intestinal Isc, especially in the distal ileum. Lowering luminal Na+ almost abolished the Gln-induced ileal Isc, in which the calcium-sensitive receptor (CaSR) activation were not involved. Ca2+ removal from both luminal and serosal sides of the ileum significantly reduced Gln- Isc. Blocking either luminal Ca2+ entry via the voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCC) or endoplasmic reticulum (ER) release via inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate receptor (IP3R) and ryanodine receptor (RyR) attenuated the Gln-induced ileal Isc, Likewise, blocking serosal Ca2+ entry via the store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE), TRPV1/2 channels, and Na+/Ca2+ exchangers (NCX) attenuated the Gln-induced ileal Isc. In contrast, activating TRPV1/2 channels enhanced the Gln-induced ileal Isc. We concluded that Ca2+ signaling is critical for intestinal Gln transport, and multiple plasma membrane Ca2+-permeable channels and transporters play roles in this process. The Ca2+ regulation of ileal Na+/Gln transport expands our understanding of intestinal nutrient uptake and may be significant in GI health and disease.

Abstract
Atractylodes macrocephala ( AM) is a famous traditional Chinese medicine for intestinal epithelial restitution through activating Ca2+ channels. However, the roles of specific AM compositions in intestinal epithelial restitution are sparse. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the concrete effects of the 4 active ingredients (atractylon, β-eudesmol, atractylenolide II, atractylenolide III) of AM and their combination on intestinal epithelial repair and the Ca2+ pathway in intestinal epithelial cell (IEC-6) cells. First, the best combination of the 4 ingredients with an optimal mixing ratio of atractylon: β-eudesmol: atractylenolide II: atractylenolide III = 1:2:2:2 was demonstrated by a 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide orthogonal experiment. Subsequently, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure anti-inflammatory cytokine levels, the migratory ability was evaluated by cell scratch experiments, cell cycle analysis and [Ca2+]cyt concentration in cells were detected by flow cytometry, and the expression of the Ca2+ pathway-related genes was detected by immunofluorescence staining, quantitative polymerase chain reaction and whole blood assays. Our result showed that atractylon, β-Eudesmol, atractylenolide II, and atractylenolide III showed different abilities to promote the IEC-6 cells proliferation, migration, and the expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-2, IL-10, and ornithine decarboxylase, as well as the intracellular [Ca2+]cyt concentration through stromal interaction molecule 1 transposition to activate Ca2+ pathway. Thereinto, atractylenolide III was the main active ingredient of AM for pro-proliferation and anti-inflammation, and the combination of 4 AM ingredients performed better beneficial effects on IEC-6 cells. Therefore, our study suggested that atractylenolide III was the active ingredient of AM for intestinal epithelial repair through activating the Ca2+ pathway, and the 4 ingredients of AM have a synergy in intestinal epithelial repair.

Abstract
Store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) provided through channels formed by ORAI proteins is a major regulator of several cellular processes. In immune cells, it controls fundamental processes such as proliferation, cell adhesion, and migration, while in cancer, SOCE and ORAI1 gene expression are dysregulated and lead to abnormal migration and/or cell proliferation. In the present study, we used the CRISPR/Cas9 technique to delete the ORAI1 gene and to identify its role in proliferative and migrative properties of the model cell line HEK-293. We showed that ORAI1 deletion greatly reduced SOCE. Thereby, we found that this decrease and the absence of ORAI1 protein did not affect HEK-293 proliferation. In addition, we determined that ORAI1 suppression did not affect adhesive properties but had a limited impact on HEK-293 migration. Overall, we showed that ORAI1 and SOCE are largely dispensable for cellular proliferation, migration, and cellular adhesion of HEK-293 cells. Thus, despite its importance in providing Ca2+ entry in non-excitable cells, our results indicate that the lack of SOCE does not deeply impact HEK-293 cells. This finding suggests the existence of compensatory mechanism enabling the maintenance of their physiological function.

Abstract
Intracellular Ca2+ distribution is a tightly regulated process. Numerous Ca2+ chelating, storage, and transport mechanisms are required to maintain normal cellular physiology. Ca2+-binding proteins, mainly calmodulin and calbindins, sequester free intracellular Ca2+ ions and apportion or transport them to signaling hubs needing the cations. Ca2+ channels, ATP-driven pumps, and exchangers assist the binding proteins in transferring the ions to and from appropriate cellular compartments. Some, such as the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and lysosomes, act as Ca2+ repositories. Cellular Ca2+ homeostasis is inefficient without the active contribution of these organelles. Moreover, certain key cellular processes also rely on inter-organellar Ca2+ signaling. This review attempts to encapsulate the structure, function, and regulation of major intracellular Ca2+ buffers, sensors, channels, and signaling molecules before highlighting how cancer cells manipulate them to survive and thrive. The spotlight is then shifted to the slow pace of translating such research findings into anticancer therapeutics. We use the PubMed database to highlight current clinical studies that target intracellular Ca2+ signaling. Drug repurposing and improving the delivery of small molecule therapeutics are further discussed as promising strategies for speeding therapeutic development in this area.

Abstract
As little is known about the role of calcium (Ca2+) signaling mediating the small intestinal epithelial anion secretion, we aimed to study its regulatory role in secretagogue-stimulated duodenal anion secretion and the underlying molecular mechanisms. Therefore, intestinal anion secretion from native mouse duodenal epithelia was examined with Ussing chambers to monitor PGE2-, 5-HT-, and CCh-induced short-circuit currents (Isc). PGE2 (10 μM) and 5-HT (10 μM) induced mouse duodenal Isc, markedly attenuated by serosal Ca2+-free solution and selective blockers of store-operated Ca2+ channels on the serosal side of the duodenum. Furthermore, PGE2- and 5-HT-induced duodenal Isc was also inhibited by ER Ca2+ chelator TPEN. However, dantrolene, a selective blocker of ryanodine receptors, inhibited PGE2-induced duodenal Isc, while LiCl, an inhibitor of IP3 production, inhibited 5-HT-induced Isc. Moreover, duodenal Isc response to the serosal applications of both PGE2 and 5-HT was significantly attenuated in transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) knockout mice. Finally, mucosal application of carbachol (100 μM) also induced duodenal Isc via selective activation of muscarinic receptors, which was significantly inhibited in serosal Ca2+-free solution but neither in mucosal Ca2+-free solution nor by nifedipine. Therefore, the serosal TRPV4-constituted SOCE mechanism is likely universal for the most common and important secretagogues-induced and Ca2+-dependent intestinal anion secretion. These findings will enhance our knowledge about gastrointestinal (G.I.) epithelial physiology and the associated G.I. diseases, such as diarrhea and constipation.

Gut epithelial restitution after superficial wounding is an important repair modality regulated by numerous factors including Ca2+ signaling and cellular polyamines. Transient receptor potential canonical-1 (TRPC1) functions as a store-operated Ca2+ channel in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) and its activation increases epithelial restitution by inducing Ca2+ influx after acute injury. α4 is a multiple functional protein and implicated in many aspects of cell functions by modulating protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) stability and activity. Here we show that the clonal populations of IECs stably expressing TRPC1 (IEC-TRPC1) exhibited increased levels of α4 and PP2A catalytic subunit (PP2Ac) and that TRPC1 promoted intestinal epithelial restitution by increasing α4/PP2Ac association. The levels of α4 and PP2Ac proteins increased significantly in stable IEC-TRPC1 cells and this induction in α4/PP2Ac complexes was accompanied by an increase in IEC migration after wounding. α4 silencing by transfection with siRNA targeting α4 (siα4) or PP2Ac silencing destabilized α4/PP2Ac complexes in stable IEC-TRPC1 cells and repressed cell migration over the wounded area. Increasing the levels of cellular polyamines by stable transfection with the Odc gene stimulated α4 and PP2Ac expression and enhanced their association, thus also promoting epithelial restitution after wounding. In contrast, depletion of cellular polyamines by treatment with α-difluoromethylornithine reduced α4/PP2Ac complexes and repressed cell migration. Ectopic overexpression of α4 partially rescued rapid epithelial repair in polyamine-deficient cells. These results indicate that activation of TRPC1-mediated Ca2+ signaling enhances cell migration primarily by increasing α4/PP2Ac associations after wounding and this pathway is tightly regulated by cellular polyamines.

Abstract
In animals, muscle growth is a quantitative trait controlled by multiple genes. Previously, we showed that the transient receptor potential channel 1 (TRPC1) gene was differentially expressed in muscle tissues between pig breeds with divergent growth traits base on RNA-seq. Here, we characterized TRPC1 expression profiles in different tissues and pig breeds and showed that TRPC1 was highly expressed in the muscle. We found two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (C-1763T and C-1604T) in TRPC1 that could affect the promoter region activity and regulate pig growth rate. Functionally, we used RNAi and overexpression to illustrate that TRPC1 promotes myoblast proliferation, migration, differentiation, fusion, and muscle hypertrophy while inhibiting muscle degradation. These processes may be mediated by the activation of Wnt signaling pathways. Altogether, our results revealed that TRPC1 might promote muscle growth and development and plays a key role in Wnt-mediated myogenesis.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of increasing doses of putrescine injected in ovo on hatchability, intestinal morphology and pre-starter performance of broilers. For this purpose, 720 eggs from broiler breeders were separated into a negative control (no injection) and injection treatments with increasing doses of putrescine (0.05; 0.1; 0.15 and 0.2%), totalling five treatments of 144 eggs each. Eggs were distributed in a completely randomized design inside the setter and the injection of solutions occurred at 17 days of incubation. After hatch, 330 birds were housed in mixed lots following the original treatments, totalling 5 treatments of 6 replicates with 11 birds each. Six birds per treatment were weighed and euthanized by cervical dislocation to collect the liver, intestine and breast 24 hr after injection, at hatch and 24 hr after hatch. At 2 days of age, intestines were collected from 4 animals per treatment to analyse histomorphology. The effects of putrescine levels were evaluated by polynomial regression models, ANOVA and Tukey test at 5% probability. The hatchability decreased linearly in response to increased doses of putrescine. The percentage of residual yolk was lower in animals that received putrescine compared to the control. After injection, the percentage of breast increased linearly, and the percentage of intestine had a quadratic response to increased doses of putrescine. However, 24 hr after hatch, the percentage of intestine linearly decreased, and the percentage of liver linearly increased in response to increased doses of putrescine. Villus height increased quadratically, crypt depth decreased linearly, and goblet cells increased linearly in response to the putrescine dose. FI and BWG were not affected in the pre-starter phase; however, FCR increased in response to increased levels of putrescine. Due to putrescine effects on embryos, it is recommended that the doses injected in ovo not exceed 0.1%.

Abstract
PURPOSE Previous studies have indicated that transient receptor potential (TRP) channels can influence cancer development. The TRPC subfamily consists of seven subtypes, TRPC1 - TRPC7. Interestingly, the expression levels of TRPC1 have been shown to be totally different in different breast cancer cell lines. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanism remains unknown. In this study, we explore the significance of TRPC1 expression in breast cancer. METHODS Immunohistochemical TRPC1 staining was performed in 278 samples. TRPC1 expression in different breast tissues were examined. Then, the influence of TRPC1 on migration, invasion and proliferation was explored. We analyzed the protein of TRPC1 by Western blot to prove which pathway may be involved in. Finally, we use online database to predict the prognosis of TRPC1 in breast cancer. RESULTS Through immunohistochemistry and in vitro experiments, we found that the expression level of TRPC1 was higher in breast cancer cells as compared with that in normal breast epithelial cells. Moreover, the expression level of TRPC1 was different between estrogen receptor-positive (ER +) and -negative (ER -) breast cancer. It was shown that TRPC1 inhibited MCF7 cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro. Western blotting revealed that TRPC1 inhibited the PI3K/AKT pathway and epithelium-mesenchymal transformation, leading to subsequent inhibition of cell proliferation and metastasis. In luminal A and luminal B patients, those with high TRPC1 expression had a better prognosis. On the contrary, in basal-like and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) subtypes, patients with high-TRPC1 expression had a worse prognosis. CONCLUSIONS We confirmed that TRPC1 was high expression in breast cancer. Overexpression of TRPC1 inhibits proliferation and migration of ER + breast cancer and gives a better prognosis by inhibiting PI3K/AKT pathway activation. TRPC1 may be an independent prognostic predictor in breast cancer patients.

Abstract
Homeostasis of the intestinal epithelium is tightly regulated by numerous extracellular and intracellular factors including vitamin D and the vitamin D receptor (VDR). VDR is highly expressed in the intestinal epithelium and is implicated in many aspects of gut mucosal pathophysiology, but the exact mechanism that controls VDR expression remains largely unknown. The RNA-binding protein human antigen R (HuR) regulates the stability and translation of target mRNAs and thus modulates various cellular processes and functions. Here we report a novel role of HuR in the posttranscriptional control of VDR expression in the intestinal epithelium. The levels of VDR in the intestinal mucosa decreased significantly in mice with ablated HuR, compared with control mice. HuR silencing in cultured intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) also reduced VDR levels, whereas HuR overexpression increased VDR abundance; neither intervention changed cellular Vdr mRNA content. Mechanistically, HuR bound to Vdr mRNA via its 3'-untranslated region (UTR) and enhanced VDR translation in IECs. Moreover, VDR silencing not only inhibited IEC migration over the wounded area in control cells but also prevented the increased migration in cells overexpressing HuR, although it did not alter IEC proliferation in vitro and growth of intestinal organoids ex vivo. The human intestinal mucosa from patients with inflammatory bowel diseases exhibited decreased levels of both HuR and VDR. These results indicate that HuR enhances VDR translation by directly interacting with its mRNA via 3'-UTR and that induced VDR by HuR is crucial for rapid intestinal epithelial restitution after wounding.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca2+) is perhaps the most versatile signaling molecule in cells. Ca2+ regulates a large number of key events in cells, ranging from gene transcription, motility, and contraction, to energy production and channel gating. To accomplish all these different functions, a multitude of channels, pumps, and transporters are necessary. A group of channels participating in these processes is the transient receptor potential (TRP) family of cation channels. These channels are divided into 29 subfamilies, and are differentially expressed in man, rodents, worms, and flies. One of these subfamilies is the transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) family of channels. This ion channel family comprises of seven isoforms, labeled TRPC1–7. In man, six functional forms are expressed (TRPC1, TRPC3–7), whereas TRPC2 is a pseudogene; thus, not functionally expressed. In this review, we will describe the importance of the TRPC channels and their interacting molecular partners in the etiology of cancer, particularly in regard to regulating migration and invasion.

Abstract
Calcium signaling is probably one of the evolutionary oldest and the most common way by which the signal can be transmitted from the cell environment to the cytoplasmic calcium binding effectors. Calcium signal is fast and due to diversity of calcium binding proteins it may have a very broad effect on cell behavior. Being a crucial player in neuronal transmission it is also very important for glia physiology. It is responsible for the cross-talk between neurons and astrocytes, for microglia activation and motility. Changes in calcium signaling are also crucial for the behavior of transformed glioma cells. The present chapter summarizes molecular mechanisms of calcium signal formation present in glial cells with a strong emphasis on extracellular nucleotide-evoked signaling pathways. Some aspects of glioma C6 signaling such as the cross-talk between P2Y1 and P2Y12 nucleotide receptors in calcium signal generation will be discussed in-depth, to show complexity of machinery engaged in formation of this signal. Moreover, possible mechanisms of modulation of the calcium signal in diverse environments there will be presented herein. Finally, the possible role of calcium signal in glioma motility is also discussed. This is a very important issue, since glioma cells, contrary to the vast majority of neoplastic cells, cannot spread in the body with the bloodstream and, at least in early stages of tumor development, may expand only by means of sheer motility.

Abstract
Most of the biological impacts of Vitamin E, including the redox effects, have been raised from studies with α-tocopherol only, despite the fact that tocopherol-containing foods carry mixed tocopherol isomers. Here, we investigated the cellular mechanisms involved in the immediate antioxidant responses evoked by α-, γ- and δ-tocopherol in Caco-2 cells. In order to track the cytosolic redox impact, we performed imaging on cells expressing HyPer, a fluorescent redox biosensor, while cytosolic calcium fluctuations were monitored by means of Fura-2 dye and imaging. With this approach, we could observe fast cellular responses evoked by the addition of α-, γ- and δ-tocopherol at concentrations as low as 2.5 μM. Each isomer induced rapid and consistent increases in cytosolic calcium with fast kinetics, which were affected by chelation of extracellular Ca2+, suggesting that tocopherols promoted a calcium entry upon the contact with the plasma membrane. In terms of redox effects, δ-tocopherol was the only isomer that evoked a significant change in the HyPer signal at 5 μM. By mimicking Ca2+ entry with ionomycin and monensin, a decline in the HyPer signal was induced as well. Finally, by silencing calcium with 1,2-bis(o-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA), an intracellular Ca2+ chelator, none of the isomers were able to induce redox changes. Altogether, our data indicate that an elevation in cytoplasmic Ca2+ is necessary for the development of a tocopherol-induced antioxidant impact on the cytoplasm of Caco-2 cells reported by HyPer biosensor.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels are calcium permeable, non-selective cation channels with wide tissue-specific distribution. Among 7 TRPC channels, TRPC 1/4/5 and TRPC3/6/7 are subdivided based on amino acid sequence homology. TRPC4 and TRPC5 channels exhibit cationic current with homotetrameric form, but they also form heterotetrameric channel such as TRPC1/4 or TRPC1/5 once TRPC1 is incorporated. The expression of TRPC1 is ubiquitous whereas the expressions of TRPC4 and TRPC5 are rather focused in nervous system. With the help of conditional knock-out of TPRC1, 4 and/or 5 genes, TRPC channels made of these constituents are reported to be involved in various pathophysiological functions such as seizure, anxiety-like behaviour, fear, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease and many others. In heterologous expression system, many issues such as activation mechanism, stoichiometry and relative cation permeabilites of homomeric or heteromeric channels have been addressed. In this review, we discussed the role of TRPC1 channel per se in plasma membrane, role of TRPC1 in heterotetrameric conformation (TRPC1/4 or TRPC1/5) and relationship between TRPC1/4/5 channels, calcium influx and voltage-gated calcium channels.

Abstract
The intracellular calcium signaling processes are tightly regulated to ensure the generation of calcium signals with the specific spatiotemporal characteristics required for regulating various cell functions. Compartmentalization of the molecular components involved in the generation of these signals at discrete intracellular sites ensures the signaling specificity and transduction fidelity of the signal for regulating downstream effector processes. Store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) is ubiquitously present in cells and is critical for essential cell functions in a variety of tissues. SOCE is mediated via plasma membrane Ca2+ channels that are activated when luminal [Ca2+] of the endoplasmic reticulum ([Ca2+]ER) is decreased. The ER-resident stromal interaction molecules, STIM1 and STIM2, respond to decreases in [Ca2+]ER by undergoing conformational changes that cause them to aggregate at the cell periphery in ER-plasma membrane (ER-PM) junctions. At these sites, STIM proteins recruit Orai1 channels and trigger their activation. Importantly, the two STIM proteins concertedly modulate Orai1 function as well as the sensitivity of SOCE to ER-Ca2+ store depletion. Another family of plasma membrane Ca2+ channels, known as the Transient Receptor Potential Canonical (TRPC) channels (TRPC1-7) also contribute to sustained [Ca2+]i elevation. Although Ca2+ signals generated by these channels overlap with those of Orai1, they regulate distinct functions in the cells. Importantly, STIM1 is also required for plasma membrane localization and activation of some TRPCs. In this review, we will discuss various molecular components and factors that govern the activation, regulation and modulation of the Ca2+ signal generated by Ca2+ entry pathways in response to depletion of ER-Ca2+ stores. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: ECS Meeting edited by Claus Heizmann, Joachim Krebs and Jacques Haiech.

Abstract
Early gut mucosal restitution is a process by which intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) migrate over the wounded area, and its defective regulation occurs commonly in various critical pathological conditions. This rapid reepithelialization is mediated by different activating small GTP-binding proteins, but the exact mechanism underlying this process remains largely unknown. Recently, it has been reported that interaction between p21-activated kinase-interacting exchange factor (β-PIX) and G protein-coupled receptor kinase-interacting protein 1 (GIT1) activates small GTPases and plays an important role in the regulation of cell motility. Here, we show that induced association of β-PIX with GIT1 is essential for the stimulation of IEC migration after wounding by activating Rac1. Levels of β-PIX and GIT1 proteins and their association in differentiated IECs (line of IEC-Cdx2L1) were much higher than those observed in undifferentiated IECs (line of IEC-6), which was associated with an increase in IEC migration after wounding. Decreased levels of endogenous β-PIX by its gene-silencing destabilized β-PIX/GIT1 complexes, repressed Rac1 activity and inhibited cell migration over the wounded area. In contrast, ectopic overexpression of β-PIX increased the levels of β-PIX/GIT1 complexes, stimulated Rac1 activity, and enhanced intestinal epithelial restitution. Increased levels of cellular polyamines also stimulated β-PIX/GIT1 association, increased Rac1 activity, and promoted the epithelial restitution. Moreover, polyamine depletion decreased cellular abundances of β-PIX/GIT1 complex and repressed IEC migration after wounding, which was rescued by ectopic overexpression of β-PIX or GIT1. These results indicate that β-PIX/GIT1/Rac1 association is necessary for stimulation of IEC migration after wounding and that this signaling pathway is tightly regulated by cellular polyamines. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Our current study demonstrates that induced association of β-PIX with GIT1 is essential for the stimulation of intestinal epithelial restitution by activating Rac1, and this signaling pathway is tightly regulated by cellular polyamines.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential canonical channel-1 (TRPC1) is a Ca2+-permeable channel found in key metabolic organs and tissues, including the hypothalamus, adipose tissue, and skeletal muscle. Loss of TRPC1 may alter the regulation of cellular energy metabolism resulting in insulin resistance thereby leading to diabetes. Exercise reduces insulin resistance, but it is not known whether TRPC1 is involved in exercise-induced insulin sensitivity. The role of TRPC1 in adiposity and obesity-associated metabolic diseases has not yet been determined. Our results show that TRPC1 functions as a major Ca2+ entry channel in adipocytes. We have also shown that fat mass and fasting glucose concentrations were lower in TRPC1 KO mice that were fed a high-fat (HF) (45% fat) diet and exercised as compared with WT mice fed a HF diet and exercised. Adipocyte numbers were decreased in both subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue of TRPC1 KO mice fed a HF diet and exercised. Finally, autophagy markers were decreased and apoptosis markers increased in TRPC1 KO mice fed a HF diet and exercised. Overall, these findings suggest that TRPC1 plays an important role in the regulation of adiposity via autophagy and apoptosis and that TRPC1 inhibits the positive effect of exercise on type II diabetes risk under a HF diet-induced obesity environment.

Abstract
The cytosolic calcium ([Ca2+]cyt) is one of the most important cell signaling that can modulate gastrointestinal (GI) epithelial secretion and promote GI mucosal wound repair. The GI mucosal bicarbonate secretion is the main mechanism of mucosal protection. Our research team has been working in this field and provided solid evidence for the important role of Ca2+ signaling in the regulation of GI epithelial secretion and the underlying molecular mechanisms. In this review, we attempt to systemically review the current status of our knowledge on the role of Ca2+ signaling in the regulation of intestinal bicarbonate secretion and in the upper GI epithelial protection. We expect that novel targets could be identified for drug development to better protect GI mucosa and treat mucosal injury with the advance in this filed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An impairment of the integrity of the mucosal epithelial barrier can be observed in the course of various gastrointestinal diseases. The migration and proliferation of the intestinal epithelial (IEC-6) cells are essential repair modalities to the healing of mucosal ulcers and wounds. Atractylenolide I (AT-I), one of the major bioactive components in the rhizome of Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz. (AMR), possesses multiple pharmacological activities. This study was designed to investigate the therapeutic effects and the underlying molecular mechanisms of AT-I on gastrointestinal mucosal injury. METHODS Scratch method with a gel-loading microtip was used to detect IEC-6 cell migration. The real-time cell analyzer (RTCA) system was adopted to evaluate IEC-6 cell proliferation. Intracellular polyamines content was determined using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Flow cytometry was used to measure cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]c). mRNA and protein expression of TRPC1 and PLC-γ1 were determined by real-time PCR and Western blotting assay respectively. RESULTS Treatment of IEC-6 cells with AT-I promoted cell migration and proliferation, increased polyamines content, raised cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]c), and enhanced TRPC1 and PLC-γ1 mRNA and protein expression. Depletion of cellular polyamines by DL-a-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO, an inhibitor of polyamine synthesis) suppressed cell migration and proliferation, decreased polyamines content, and reduced [Ca2+]c, which was paralleled by a decrease in TRPC1 and PLC-γ1 mRNA and protein expression in IEC-6 cells. AT-I reversed the effects of DFMO on polyamines content, [Ca2+]c, TRPC1 and PLC-γ1 mRNA and protein expression, and restored IEC-6 cell migration and proliferation to near normal levels. CONCLUSION Our data demonstrate that AT-I stimulates intestinal epithelial cell migration and proliferation via the polyamine-mediated Ca2+ signaling pathway. Therefore, AT-I may have the potential to be further developed as a promising therapeutic agent to treat diseases associated with gastrointestinal mucosal injury, such as inflammatory bowel disease and peptic ulcer.

Abstract
Store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) is a ubiquitous Ca2+ entry pathway that is activated in response to depletion of ER-Ca2+ stores and critically controls the regulation of physiological functions in miscellaneous cell types. The transient receptor potential canonical 1 (TRPC1) is the first member of the TRPC channel subfamily to be identified as a molecular component of SOCE. While TRPC1 has been shown to contribute to SOCE and regulate various functions in many cells, none of the reported TRPC1-mediated currents resembled ICRAC, the highly Ca2+-selective store-dependent current first identified in lymphocytes and mast cells. Almost a decade after the cloning of TRPC1 two proteins were identified as the primary components of the CRAC channel. The first, STIM1, is an ER-Ca2+ sensor protein involved in activating SOCE. The second, Orai1 is the pore-forming component of the CRAC channel. Co-expression of STIM1 and Orai1 generated robust ICRAC. Importantly, STIM1 was shown to also activate TRPC1 via its C-terminal polybasic domain, which is distinct from its Orai1-activating domain, SOAR. In addition, TRPC1 function critically depends on Orai1-mediated Ca2+ entry which triggers recruitment of TRPC1 into the plasma membrane where it is then activated by STIM1. TRPC1 and Orai1 form discrete STIM1-gated channels that generate distinct Ca2+ signals and regulate specific cellular functions. Surface expression of TRPC1 can be modulated by trafficking of the channel to and from the plasma membrane, resulting in changes to the phenotype of TRPC1-mediated current and [Ca2+]i signals. Thus, TRPC1 is activated downstream of Orai1 and modifies the initial [Ca2+]i signal generated by Orai1 following store depletion. This review will summarize the important findings that underlie the current concepts for activation and regulation of TRPC1, as well as its impact on cell function.

Abstract
The mammalian intestinal mucosa exhibits a spectrum of responses after acute injury and repairs itself rapidly to restore the epithelial integrity. The RNA-binding protein HuR regulates the stability and translation of target mRNAs and is involved in many aspects of gut epithelium homeostasis, but its exact role in the regulation of mucosal repair after injury remains unknown. We show here that HuR is essential for early intestinal epithelial restitution by increasing the expression of cell division control protein 42 (Cdc42) at the posttranscriptional level. HuR bound to the Cdc42 mRNA via its 3' untranslated region, and this association specifically enhanced Cdc42 translation without an effect on the Cdc42 mRNA level. Intestinal epithelium-specific HuR knockout not only decreased Cdc42 levels in mucosal tissues, but it also inhibited repair of damaged mucosa induced by mesenteric ischemia/reperfusion in the small intestine and by dextran sulfate sodium in the colon. Furthermore, Cdc42 silencing prevented HuR-mediated stimulation of cell migration over the wounded area by altering the subcellular distribution of F-actin. These results indicate that HuR promotes early intestinal mucosal repair after injury by increasing Cdc42 translation and demonstrate the importance of HuR deficiency in the pathogenesis of delayed mucosal healing in certain pathological conditions.

Abstract
c-Jun is an activating protein 1 (AP-1) transcription factor and implicated in many aspects of cellular functions, but its exact role in the regulation of early intestinal epithelial restitution after injury remains largely unknown. Phospholipase C-γ1 (PLCγ1) catalyzes hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5 biphosphate into the second messenger diacylglycerol and inositol 1,4,5 triphosphate, coordinates Ca2+ store mobilization, and regulates cell migration and proliferation in response to stress. Here we reported that c-Jun upregulates PLCγ1 expression and enhances PLCγ1-induced Ca2+ signaling, thus promoting intestinal epithelial restitution after wounding. Ectopically expressed c-Jun increased PLCγ1 expression at the transcription level, and this stimulation is mediated by directly interacting with AP-1 and CCAAT-enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP) binding sites that are located at the proximal region of the rat PLCγ1 promoter. Increased levels of PLCγ1 by c-Jun elevated cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration and stimulated intestinal epithelial cell migration over the denuded area after wounding. The c-Jun-mediated PLCγ1/Ca2+ signal also plays an important role in polyamine-induced cell migration after wounding because increased c-Jun rescued Ca2+ influx and cell migration in polyamine-deficient cells. These findings indicate that c-Jun induces PLCγ1 expression transcriptionally and enhances rapid epithelial restitution after injury by activating Ca2+ signal.

Abstract
Store-operated calcium entry (SOCE), a unique plasma membrane Ca2+ entry mechanism, is activated when ER-[Ca2+] is decreased. SOCE is mediated via the primary channel, Orai1, as well as others such as TRPC1. STIM1 and STIM2 are ER-Ca2+ sensor proteins that regulate Orai1 and TRPC1. SOCE requires assembly of STIM proteins with the plasma membrane channels which occurs within distinct regions in the cell that have been termed as endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-plasma membrane (PM) junctions. The PM and ER are in close proximity to each other within this region, which allows STIM1 in the ER to interact with and activate either Orai1 or TRPC1 in the plasma membrane. Activation and regulation of SOCE involves dynamic assembly of various components that are involved in mediating Ca2+ entry as well as those that determine the formation and stabilization of the junctions. These components include proteins in the cytosol, ER and PM, as well as lipids in the PM. Recent studies have also suggested that SOCE and its components are compartmentalized within ER-PM junctions and that this process might require remodeling of the plasma membrane lipids and reorganization of structural and scaffolding proteins. Such compartmentalization leads to the generation of spatially- and temporally-controlled Ca2+signals that are critical for regulating many downstream cellular functions.

Abstract
Store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) is a ubiquitous Ca2+ entry pathway that is activated in response to depletion of ER-Ca2+ stores and critically controls the regulation of physiological functions in a wide variety of cell types. The transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels (TRPCs 1-7), which are activated by stimuli leading to PIP2 hydrolysis, were first identified as molecular components of SOCE channels. While TRPC1 was associated with SOCE and regulation of function in several cell types, none of the TRPC members displayed I CRAC, the store-operated current identified in lymphocytes and mast cells. Intensive search finally led to the identification of Orai1 and STIM1 as the primary components of the CRAC channel. Orai1 was established as the pore-forming channel protein and STIM1 as the ER-Ca2+ sensor protein involved in activation of Orai1. STIM1 also activates TRPC1 via a distinct domain in its C-terminus. However, TRPC1 function depends on Orai1-mediated Ca2+ entry, which triggers recruitment of TRPC1 into the plasma membrane where it is activated by STIM1. TRPC1 and Orai1 form distinct store-operated Ca2+ channels that regulate specific cellular functions. It is now clearly established that regulation of TRPC1 trafficking can change plasma membrane levels of the channel, the phenotype of the store-operated Ca2+ current, as well as pattern of SOCE-mediated [Ca2+]i signals. Thus, TRPC1 is activated downstream of Orai1 and modifies the initial [Ca2+]i signal generated by Orai1. This review will highlight current concepts of the activation and regulation of TRPC1 channels and its impact on cell function.

Abstract
Polyamines are necessary for normal integrity and the restitution after injury of the gastrointestinal epithelium. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of oral administration of putrescine and proline during the suckling period on epithelial restitution after early weaning in piglets. Eighteen neonatal piglets (Duroc × Landrace × Large Yorkshire) from 3 litters (6 piglets per litter) were assigned to 3 groups, representing oral administration with an equal volume of saline (control), putrescine (5 mg/kg BW), and proline (25 mg/kg BW) twice daily from d 1 to weaning at 14 d of age. Plasma and intestinal samples were obtained 3 d after weaning. The results showed that oral administration of putrescine or proline increased the final BW and ADG of piglets compared with the control (P < 0.05). Proline treatment decreased plasma D-lactate concentration but increased the villus height in the jejunum and ileum, as well as the percentage of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) positive cells and alkaline phosphatase (AKP) activity in the jejunal mucosa (P < 0.05). The protein expressions for zonula occludens (ZO-1), occludin, and claudin-3 (P < 0.05) but not mRNA were increased in the jejunum of putrescine- and proline-treated piglets compared with those of control piglets. The voltage-gated K+ channel (Kv) 1.1 protein expression in the jejunum of piglets administrated with putrescine and the Kv1.5 mRNA and Kv1.1 protein levels in the ileum of piglets administrated with proline were greater than those in control piglets (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that polyamine or its precursor could improve mucosal proliferation, intestinal morphology, as well as tight junction and potassium channel protein expressions in early-weaned piglets, with implications for epithelial restitution and barrier function after stress injury.

Abstract
Plasma membrane ion channels, and in particular TRPC channels need a specific membrane environment and association with scaffolding, signaling, and cytoskeleton proteins in order to play their important functional role. The molecular composition of TRPC channels is an important factor in determining channel activation mechanisms. TRPC proteins are incorporated in macromolecular complexes including several key Ca(2 +) signaling proteins as well as proteins involved in vesicle trafficking, cytoskeletal interactions, and scaffolding. Evidence has been provided for association of TRPC with calmodulin (CaM), IP3R, PMCA, Gq/11, RhoA, and a variety of scaffolding proteins. The interaction between TRPC channels with adaptor proteins, determines their mode of regulation as well as their cellular localization and function. Adaptor proteins do not display any enzymatic activity but act as scaffold for the building of signaling complexes. The scaffolding proteins are involved in the assembling of these Ca(2+) signaling complexes, the correct sub-cellular localization of protein partners, and the regulation of the TRPC channelosome. In particular, these proteins, via their multiple protein-protein interaction motifs, can interact with various ion channels involved in the transmembrane potential, and membrane excitability. Scaffolding proteins are key components for the functional organization of TRPC channelosomes that serves as a platform regulating slow Ca(2+) entry, spatially and temporally controlled [Ca(2+)]i signals and Ca(2+) -dependent cellular functions.

Abstract
Early mucosal restitution occurs as a consequence of epithelial cell migration to resealing of superficial wounds after injury. Our previous studies show that canonical transient receptor potential-1 (TRPC1) functions as a store-operated Ca(2+) channel (SOC) in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) and plays an important role in early epithelial restitution by increasing Ca(2+) influx. Here we further reported that RhoA, a small GTP-binding protein, interacts with and regulates TRPC1, thus enhancing SOC-mediated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) and epithelial restitution after wounding. RhoA physically associated with TRPC1 and formed the RhoA/TRPC1 complexes, and this interaction increased in stable TRPC1-transfected IEC-6 cells (IEC-TRPC1). Inactivation of RhoA by treating IEC-TRPC1 cells with exoenzyme C3 transferase (C3) or ectopic expression of dominant negative RhoA (DNMRhoA) reduced RhoA/TRPC1 complexes and inhibited Ca(2+) influx after store depletion, which was paralleled by an inhibition of cell migration over the wounded area. In contrast, ectopic expression of wild-type (WT)-RhoA increased the levels of RhoA/TRPC1 complexes, induced Ca(2+) influx through activation of SOCE, and promoted cell migration after wounding. TRPC1 silencing by transfecting stable WT RhoA-transfected cells with siRNA targeting TRPC1 (siTRPC1) reduced SOCE and repressed epithelial restitution. Moreover, ectopic overexpression of WT-RhoA in polyamine-deficient cells rescued the inhibition of Ca(2+) influx and cell migration induced by polyamine depletion. These findings indicate that RhoA interacts with and activates TRPC1 and thus stimulates rapid epithelial restitution after injury by inducing Ca(2+) signaling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extensive alveolar epithelial injury and remodelling is a common feature of acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and it has been established that epithelial regeneration, and secondary lung oedema resorption, is crucial for ARDS resolution. Much evidence indicates that K(+) channels are regulating epithelial repair processes; however, involvement of the KCa3.1 channels in alveolar repair has never been investigated before. RESULTS Wound-healing assays demonstrated that the repair rates were increased in primary rat alveolar cell monolayers grown on a fibronectin matrix compared to non-coated supports, whereas an anti-β1-integrin antibody reduced it. KCa3.1 inhibition/silencing impaired the fibronectin-stimulated wound-healing rates, as well as cell migration and proliferation, but had no effect in the absence of coating. We then evaluated a putative relationship between KCa3.1 channel and the migratory machinery protein β1-integrin, which is activated by fibronectin. Co-immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence experiments indicated a link between the two proteins and revealed their cellular co-distribution. In addition, we demonstrated that KCa3.1 channel and β1-integrin membrane expressions were increased on a fibronectin matrix. We also showed increased intracellular calcium concentrations as well as enhanced expression of TRPC4, a voltage-independent calcium channel belonging to the large TRP channel family, on a fibronectin matrix. Finally, wound-healing assays showed additive effects of KCa3.1 and TRPC4 inhibitors on alveolar epithelial repair. CONCLUSION Taken together, our data demonstrate for the first time complementary roles of KCa3.1 and TRPC4 channels with extracellular matrix and β1-integrin in the regulation of alveolar repair processes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mesenteric ischemia-reperfusion induces gut mucosal damage. Intestinal mucosal wounds are repaired by epithelial restitution. Although many different molecular mechanisms have been shown to affect cell metabolism under oxidative conditions, these molecular mechanisms and metabolic phenotypes are not well understood. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic data can be used to study metabolic phenotypes in biological systems. Pattern recognition with multivariate analysis is one chemometric technique. The purpose of this study was to visualize, using a chemometric technique to interpret NMR data, different degrees of oxidant injury in rat small intestine (IEC-6) cells exposed to H2O2. METHODS Oxidant stress was induced by H2O2 in IEC-6 cells. Cell restitution and viability were assessed at different H2O2 concentrations and time points. Cells were harvested for pattern recognition analysis of (1)H-NMR data. RESULTS Cell viability and restitution were significantly suppressed by H2O2 in a dose-dependent manner compared with control. Each class was clearly separated into clusters by partial least squares discriminant analysis, and class variance was greater than 90% from 2 factors. CONCLUSION Pattern recognition of NMR spectral data using a chemometric technique clearly visualized the differences of oxidant injury in IEC-6 cells under oxidant stress.

Abstract
Calcium signaling participates in different cellular processes leading to cell migration. TRPV4, a non-selective cation channel that responds to mechano-osmotic stimulation and heat, is also involved in cell migration. However, the mechanistic involvement of TRPV4 in cell migration is currently unknown. We now report that expression of the mutant channel TRPV4-(121)AAWAA (lacking the phosphoinositide-binding site (121)KRWRK(125) and the response to physiological stimuli) altered HEK293 cell migration. Altered migration patterns included periods of fast and persistent motion followed by periods of stalling and turning, and the extension of multiple long cellular protrusions. TRPV4-WT overexpressing cells showed almost complete loss of directionality with frequent turns, no progression, and absence of long protrusions. Traction microscopy revealed higher tractions forces in the tail of TRPV4-(121)AAWAA than in TRPV4-WT expressing cells. These results are consistent with a defective and augmented tail retraction in TRPV4-(121)AAWAA- and TRPV4-WT-expressing cells, respectively. The activity of calpain, a protease implicated in focal adhesion (FA) disassembly, was decreased in TRPV4-(121)AAWAA compared with TRPV4-WT-expressing cells. Consistently, larger focal adhesions were seen in TRPV4-(121)AAWAA compared with TRPV4-WT-expressing HEK293 cells, a result that was also reproduced in T47D and U87 cells. Similarly, overexpression of the pore-dead mutant TRPV4-M680D resumed the TRPV4-(121)AAWAA phenotype presenting larger FA. The migratory phenotype obtained in HEK293 cells overexpressing TRPV4-(121)AAWAA was mimicked by knocking-down TRPC1, a cationic channel that participates in cell migration. Together, our results point to the participation of TRPV4 in the dynamics of trailing adhesions, a function that may require the interplay of TRPV4 with other cation channels or proteins present at the FA sites.

Abstract
Early rapid mucosal restitution occurs as a consequence of epithelial cell migration to reseal superficial wounds, a process independent of cell proliferation. Our previous studies revealed that the canonical transient receptor potential-1 (TRPC1) functions as a store-operated Ca(2+) channel (SOCs) in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) and regulates epithelial restitution after wounding, but the exact mechanism underlying TRPC1 activation remains elusive. Caveolin-1 (Cav1) is a major component protein that is associated with caveolar lipid rafts in the plasma membrane and was recently identified as a regulator of store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE). Here, we showed that Cav1 plays an important role in the regulation of mucosal restitution by activating TRPC1-mediated Ca(2+) signaling. Target deletion of Cav1 delayed gastric mucosal repair after exposure to hypertonic NaCl in mice, although it did not affect total levels of TRPC1 protein. In cultured IECs, Cav1 directly interacted with TRPC1 and formed Cav1/TRPC1 complex as measured by immunoprecipitation assays. Cav1 silencing in stable TRPC1-transfected cells by transfection with siCav1 reduced SOCE without effect on the level of resting [Ca(2+)]cyt. Inhibition of Cav1 expression by siCav1 and subsequent decrease in Ca(2+) influx repressed epithelial restitution, as indicated by a decrease in cell migration over the wounded area, whereas stable ectopic overexpression of Cav1 increased Cav1/TRPC1 complex, induced SOCE, and enhanced cell migration after wounding. These results indicate that Cav1 physically interacts with and activates TRPC1, thus stimulating TRPC1-mediated Ca(2+) signaling and rapid mucosal restitution after injury.

Abstract
It has been a few decades since Ca(2+) was identified as one of the important factors that can accelerate gastric wound repair as well as contribute to epithelial homeostasis and regulation of gastric secretions. The mechanistic basis has remained largely unexplored in vivo because it was not possible to track in real time either intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization or wound repair in living tissues. Recent advances in technology, such as combining high resolution light microscopy and genetically encoded Ca(2+) reporters in mice, now allow the monitoring of Ca(2+) mobilization during gastric epithelial cell restitution. Ca(2+) is a ubiquitous second messenger that influences numerous cellular processes, including gastric acid/bicarbonate secretion, mucus secretion, and cell migration. We have demonstrated that cytosolic Ca(2+) mobilization within the restituting gastric epithelial cells is a central signal driving small wound repair. However, extracellular Ca(2+) is also mobilized in the juxtamucosal luminal space above a wound, and evidence suggests extracellular Ca(2+) is a third messenger that also promotes gastric epithelial restitution. Interplay between intracellular and extracellular Ca(2+) is necessary for efficient gastric epithelial restitution.

Abstract
Early mucosal restitution occurs as a consequence of intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) migration to reseal superficial wounds, but its exact mechanism remains largely unknown. Caveolin-1 (Cav1), a major component associated with caveolar lipid rafts in the plasma membrane, is implicated in many aspects of cellular functions. This study determined if c-Src kinase (Src)-induced Cav1 phosphorylation promotes intestinal epithelial restitution after wounding by activating Cav1-mediated Ca(2+) signaling. Src directly interacted with Cav1, formed Cav1-Src complexes, and phosphorylated Cav1 in IECs. Inhibition of Src activity by its chemical inhibitor PP2 or suppression of the functional caveolin scaffolding domain by caveolin-scaffolding domain peptides prevented Cav1-Src interaction, reduced Cav1 phosphorylation, decreased Ca(2+) influx, and inhibited cell migration after wounding. Disruption of caveolar lipid raft microdomains by methyl-β-cyclodextrin reduced Cav1-mediated Ca(2+) influx and repressed epithelial restitution. Moreover, Src silencing prevented subcellular redistribution of phosphorylated Cav1 in migrating IECs. These results indicate that Src-induced Cav1 phosphorylation stimulates epithelial restitution by increasing Cav1-mediated Ca(2+) signaling after wounding, thus contributing to the maintenance of gut mucosal integrity under various pathological conditions.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz (AMK) has been used widely as a digestive and tonic in traditional Chinese medicine. AMK has shown noteworthy promoting effect on intestinal epithelial cell migration, which might represent a promising candidate for the treatment of intestinal mucosa injury. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of AMK on intestinal mucosal restitution and the underlying mechanisms via IEC-6 cell migration model. MATERIALS AND METHODS A wounding model of IEC-6 cells was induced by a single-edge razor blade along the diameter of six-well polystyrene plates. The cells were grown in control cultures and in cultures containing spermidine (5 μmol/L, SPD, reference drug), alpha-difluoromethylornithine (2.5 mmol/L, DFMO, polyamine inhibitor), AMK (50, 100, and 200 μg/mL), DFMO plus SPD and DFMO plus AMK for 24h. The membrane potential (MP) and cytosolic free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)]cyt) were detected by flow cytometry, and polyamines content was determined via high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The expression of Kv1.1 mRNA and protein levels were assessed by RT-qPCR and Western blot analysis, respectively. Cell migration assay was carried out using the Image-Pro Plus software. All of these indexes were used to evaluate the effectiveness of AMK. RESULTS (1) Treatment with AMK caused significant increases in cellular polyamines content, membrane hyperpolarization, an elevation of [Ca(2+)]cyt and an acceleration of cell migration in IEC-6 cells, as compared to control group. (2) AMK not only reversed the inhibitory effects of DFMO on the polyamines content, MP, and [Ca(2+)]cyt but also restored IEC-6 cell migration to control levels. (3) The Kv1.1 mRNA and protein expression were significantly increased by AMK treatment in control and polyamine-deficient IEC-6 cells. CONCLUSIONS The results of our current studies revealed that treatment with AMK significantly stimulates the migration of intestinal epithelial cells through polyamine-Kv1.1 channel signaling pathway, which could promote the healing of intestinal injury. These results suggest the potential usefulness of AMK to cure intestinal disorders characterized by injury and ineffective repair of the intestinal mucosa.

Abstract
The TRP-canonical (TRPC) subfamily, which consists of seven members (TRPC1-TRPC7), are Ca(2+)-permeable cation channels that are activated in response to receptor-mediated PIP2 hydrolysis via store-dependent and store-independent mechanisms. These channels are involved in a variety of physiological functions in different cell types and tissues. Of these, TRPC6 has been linked to a channelopathy resulting in human disease. Two key players of the store-dependent regulatory pathway, STIM1 and Orai1, interact with some TRPC channels to gate and regulate channel activity. The Ca(2+) influx mediated by TRPC channels generates distinct intracellular Ca(2+) signals that regulate downstream signaling events and consequent cell functions. This requires localization of TRPC channels in specific plasma membrane microdomains and precise regulation of channel function which is coordinated by various scaffolding, trafficking, and regulatory proteins.

Abstract
Cell motility is an essential feature of life. It is essential for reproduction, propagation, embryonic development, and healing processes such as wound closure and a successful immune defense. If out of control, cell motility can become life-threatening as, for example, in metastasis or autoimmune diseases. Regardless of whether ciliary/flagellar or amoeboid movement, controlled motility always requires a concerted action of ion channels and transporters, cytoskeletal elements, and signaling cascades. Ion transport across the plasma membrane contributes to cell motility by affecting the membrane potential and voltage-sensitive ion channels, by inducing local volume changes with the help of aquaporins and by modulating cytosolic Ca(2+) and H(+) concentrations. Voltage-sensitive ion channels serve as voltage detectors in electric fields thus enabling galvanotaxis; local swelling facilitates the outgrowth of protrusions at the leading edge while local shrinkage accompanies the retraction of the cell rear; the cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration exerts its main effect on cytoskeletal dynamics via motor proteins such as myosin or dynein; and both, the intracellular and the extracellular H(+) concentration modulate cell migration and adhesion by tuning the activity of enzymes and signaling molecules in the cytosol as well as the activation state of adhesion molecules at the cell surface. In addition to the actual process of ion transport, both, channels and transporters contribute to cell migration by being part of focal adhesion complexes and/or physically interacting with components of the cytoskeleton. The present article provides an overview of how the numerous ion-transport mechanisms contribute to the various modes of cell motility.

Abstract
The lack of bile flow from the liver into the intestine can have devastating complications including hepatic failure, sepsis and even death. This pathologic condition known as cholestasis can result from etiologies as diverse as total parenteral nutrition (TPN), hepatitis and pancreatic cancer. The intestinal injury associated with cholestasis has been shown to result in decreased intestinal resistance, increased bacterial translocation and increased endotoxemia. Anecdotal clinical evidence suggests a genetic predisposition to exaggerated injury. Recent animal research on two different strains of inbred mice demonstrating different rates of bacterial translocation with different mortality rates supports this premise. In this study, a microarray analysis of intestinal tissue following common bile duct ligation (CBDL) performed under general anesthesia on these same two strains of inbred mice was done with the goal of identifying the potential molecular mechanistic pathways responsible. Over 500 genes were increased more than 2.0 fold following CBDL. The most promising candidate genes included MUPs, Serpina1a and LCN-2. RT-PCR validated the microarray results for these candidate genes. In an in vitro experiment using differentiated intestinal epithelial cells, inhibition of MUP-1 by siRNA resulted in increased intestinal epithelial cell permeability. Diverse novel mechanisms involving the growth hormone pathway, the acute phase response and the innate immune response are thus potential avenues for limiting cholestatic intestinal injury. Changes in gene expression were at times found to be not only due to the CBDL but also due to the murine strain. Should further studies in cholestatic patients demonstrate inter-individual variability similar to what we have shown in mice, then a "personalized medicine" approach to cholestatic patients may become possible.

Abstract
Stromal interaction molecule 1 (Stim1) functions as a sensor of Ca2+ within stores and plays an essential role in the activation of store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE). Although lowering Stim1 levels reduces store-operated Ca2+ entry and inhibits intestinal epithelial repair after wounding, the mechanisms that control Stim1 expression remain unknown. Here, we show that cellular Stim1 abundance is controlled posttranscriptionally via factors that associate with 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of stim1 mRNA. MicroRNA-195 (miR-195) and the RNA-binding protein HuR competed for association with the stim1 3'-UTR and regulated stim1 mRNA decay in opposite directions. Interaction of miR-195 with the stim1 3'-UTR destabilized stim1 mRNA, whereas the stability of stim1 mRNA increased with HuR association. Interestingly, ectopic miR-195 overexpression enhanced stim1 mRNA association with argonaute-containing complexes and increased the colocalization of tagged stim1 RNA with processing bodies (P-bodies); the translocation of stim1 mRNA was abolished by HuR overexpression. Moreover, decreased levels of Stim1 by miR-195 overexpression inhibited cell migration over the denuded area after wounding but was rescued by increasing HuR levels. In sum, Stim1 expression is controlled by two factors competing for influence on stim1 mRNA stability: the mRNA-stabilizing protein HuR and the decay-promoting miR-195.

Abstract
Mitochondria not only provide cells with energy, but are central to Ca(2+) signaling. Powered by the mitochondrial membrane potential, Ca(2+) enters the mitochondria and is released into the cytosol through a mitochondrial Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger. We established that NCLX, a newly discovered mitochondrial Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger, is expressed in astrocytes isolated from mice of either sex. Immunoblot analysis of organellar fractions showed that the location of NCLX is confined to mitochondria. Using pericam-based mitochondrial Ca(2+) imaging and NCLX inhibition either by siRNA or by the pharmacological blocker CGP37157, we demonstrated that NCLX is responsible for mitochondrial Ca(2+) extrusion. Suppression of NCLX function altered cytosolic Ca(2+) dynamics in astrocytes and this was mediated by a strong effect of NCLX activity on Ca(2+) influx via store-operated entry. Furthermore, Ca(2+) influx through the store-operated Ca(2+) entry triggered strong, whereas ER Ca(2+) release triggered only modest mitochondrial Ca(2+) transients, indicating that the functional cross talk between the plasma membrane and mitochondrial domains is particularly strong in astrocytes. Finally, silencing of NCLX expression significantly reduced Ca(2+)-dependent processes in astrocytes (i.e., exocytotic glutamate release, in vitro wound closure, and proliferation), whereas Ca(2+) wave propagation was not affected. Therefore, NCLX, by meditating astrocytic mitochondrial Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchange, links between mitochondria and plasma membrane Ca(2+) signaling, thereby modulating cytoplasmic Ca(2+) transients required to control a diverse array of astrocyte functions.

Abstract
Cell motility is central to tissue homeostasis in health and disease, and there is hardly any cell in the body that is not motile at a given point in its life cycle. Important physiological processes intimately related to the ability of the respective cells to migrate include embryogenesis, immune defense, angiogenesis, and wound healing. On the other side, migration is associated with life-threatening pathologies such as tumor metastases and atherosclerosis. Research from the last ≈ 15 years revealed that ion channels and transporters are indispensable components of the cellular migration apparatus. After presenting general principles by which transport proteins affect cell migration, we will discuss systematically the role of channels and transporters involved in cell migration.
