Effective healing requires precise cellular and molecular interactions across these phases, with calcium signaling playing a pivotal role in modulating cellular responses such as migration, proliferation, and differentiation. Among the calcium channels involved, the Transient Receptor Potential Canonical (TRPC) family, particularly TRPC3, emerged as a key modulator of wound repair processes. In this review, we explore the dynamic contributions of TRPC3 to each phase of wound healing, highlighting its regulation of calcium fluxes and the downstream cellular responses critical for effective tissue repair. We will further discuss the altered role of TRPC3 in pathological conditions, such as chronic wounds and diabetic ulcers, where aberrant TRPC3 signaling disrupts normal wound healing, contributing to impaired resolution and fibrosis. By summarizing findings from recent studies, we underscore the potential of targeting TRPC3 as a therapeutic strategy to restore normal wound healing. Finally, we will discuss future directions in TRPC3-targeted interventions, including the development of selective modulators and the use of TRPC3-targeting therapy, to address unmet needs in wound care. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of TRPC3's multifaceted role in wound repair and its therapeutic potential in regenerative medicine.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":15220,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cellular Physiology","volume":"240 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144666192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we elucidate the role of Notum, a secreted Wnt inhibitor, in orchestrating these processes during dentin formation. In <i>Notum</i><sup><i>−/−</i></sup> mice, dentin exhibited a thicker yet dysplastic structure with disrupted tubule organization and impaired mineralization, deviating from the functional architecture of healthy dentin. Loss of <i>Notum</i> led to excessive activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling within the dentin-pulp complex and enhanced expression of odontogenic genes, including <i>dentin sialophosphoprotein</i> (<i>Dspp</i>), and <i>dentin matrix protein 1</i> (<i>Dmp1</i>). However, this upregulation was uncoupled from proper extracellular matrix composition and mineralization, indicating that initial odontoblast differentiation alone is insufficient for functional dentin formation. At the molecular level, <i>Notum</i> deficiency disrupted matrix integrity, characterized by reduced collagen organization and increased expression of non-collagenous matrix proteins such as bone sialoprotein (Bsp). Collectively, these findings highlight Notum as a critical modulator that fine-tunes Wnt/β-catenin signaling to coordinate cellular differentiation with matrix organization during dentinogenesis.

Extracellular ATP, a type of DAMP, has been studied primarily in the context of pyroptosis in monocytes. This study aimed to investigate the role of ATP as a DAMP in mediating pyroptosis within the intestinal mucosal system. Colitis was induced in mice by administering dextran sodium sulfate, followed by analysis of ATP levels and with the expression of pyroptosis-related proteins. Colonic epithelial cells were treated with ATP to assess cell death and pyroptosis levels. Mice with colitis exhibited elevated ATP levels in the colon and serum. Additionally, the expression of pyroptosis-related mediators was significantly upregulated in the colons of these mice. In vitro, ATP treatment increased cell death and mitochondrial dysfunction in colonic epithelial cells. ATP also enhanced inflammatory and pyroptosis responses in these cells, while the expression of apoptosis mediator proteins remained unchanged. Notably, ATP did not further enhance flagellin-induced inflammation. These findings demonstrate that ATP levels are elevated in colitis and that ATP functions as a DAMP to induce pyroptosis in intestinal epithelial cells.

SDH is a heterotetrameric enzyme consisting of four subunits SDHA, SDHB, SDHC, and SDHD, all encoded in the nuclear genome. In addition, the SDH complex requires two assembly factors, SDHAF1 and SDHAF2, which are required for assembly of SDHA and SDHB onto the inner mitochondrial-embedded subunits SDHC and SDHD. Once assembled, SDH catalyzes the conversion of succinate to fumarate coupled to the reduction of ubiquinone to ubiquinol via FAD/FADH<sub>2</sub> and ultimately the generation of ATP via ATP synthase through a functioning ETC. Given the unique dual metabolic role of SDH, loss of activity results in major metabolic rewiring, potentially uncovering metabolic vulnerabilities that could be targeted for pharmacological manipulation in disease states. SDH is a tumor suppressor and SDH-loss is a driver of oncogenesis for cancers including pheochromocytomas, paragangliomas, gastrointestinal stromal tumors, and clear cell renal cell carcinomas. SDH deficiency also plays a role in the pathogenesis in non-neoplastic diseases, including Leigh syndrome and other neurometabolic disorders. Considering the implications of SDH function in both normal physiology and disease, understanding SDH function has fundamental and translational implications. This review seeks to summarize SDH deficiency, focusing on the role SDH plays in metabolism, the metabolic consequences of SDH deficiency, the proteomic consequences of SDH loss, thereby highlight potential therapeutic vulnerabilities in SDH-deficient cells.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":15220,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cellular Physiology","volume":"240 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144666191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current evidence suggests that the number of caveolae might increase with aging. The parathyroid hormone (PTH) receptor type 1 (PTH1R) regulates osteoblast and osteocyte actions after activation by PTH and PTH-related protein (PTHrP) peptides. PTH1R activation leads to defined biological effects depending on its association with different membrane or intracellular molecules. Since PTH1R exhibits a potential Cav1 binding domain, we hypothesized that PTH1R responses are regulated by Cav1 in cells of the osteoblastic lineage, conditioning PTHrP actions during aging. We report that Cav1 colocalizes with PTH1R at membrane microdomains in osteoblastic and osteocytic cells. Cav1 overexpression modifies PTHrP-dependent signaling in osteoblastic cells by decreasing intracellular calcium accumulation and increasing cAMP levels leading to upregulation of Runx2, osteocalcin, bone alkaline phosphatase, and OPG in a rapid and transient manner. Conversely, Cav1 silencing causes over-phosphorylation of ERK1/2 kinase and overproduction of calcium, which leads to reduced expression of Runx2, osteocalcin, and alkaline phosphatase. Further, the gene expression of Cav1 increases with age in murine bone in vivo and negatively correlates with that of Runx2, osteocalcin and alkaline phosphatase. Moreover, age-dependent overexpression of Cav-1 and caveolae disruption is associated with alterations in PTHrP-dependent bone gene expression in ex vivo cultured bones. FRAP analysis revealed that Cav1 causes PTH1R temporary retention at Cav1 microdomains upon receptor activation, delaying PTH1R internalization. We conclude that PTH1R signaling and PTHrP actions in bone cells are regulated by Cav1 and that Cav1 overexpression with age conditions PTH1R responses in bone.</p>","PeriodicalId":15220,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cellular Physiology","volume":"240 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jcp.70067","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144635420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
