    Abstract The cellular abnormalities that lead to diabetic gastroparesis are increasingly being understood. Several key cell types are affected by diabetes, leading to gastroparesis. These changes include abnormalities in the extrinsic innervation to the stomach, loss of key neurotransmitters at the level of the enteric nervous system, smooth muscle abnormalities, loss of interstitial cells of Cajal, and changes in the macrophage population resident in the muscle wall. This article reviews the current understanding with a focus on data from human studies when available.

    Abstract The recently discovered ion channel TMEM63A has biophysical features distinctive for mechano-gated cation channels, activating at high pressures with slow kinetics while not inactivating. However, some biophysical properties are less clear, including no information on its function in whole cells. The aim of this study is to expand the TMEM63A biophysical characterization and examine the function in whole cells. Piezo1-knockout HEK293T cells were cotransfected with human TMEM63A and green fluorescent protein (GFP), and macroscopic currents in cell-attached patches were recorded by high-speed pressure clamp at holding voltages from -120 to -20 mV with 0-100 mmHg patch suction for 1 s. HEK293 cells cotransfected with TMEM63A and GCaMP5 were seeded onto polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membrane, and the response to 3-12 s of 1%-15% whole cell isotropic (equi-biaxial) stretch induced by an IsoStretcher was measured by the change in intracellular calcium ([Ca

    Abstract Voltage-gated ion channels (VGICs) orchestrate electrical activities that drive mechanical functions in contractile tissues such as the heart and gut. In turn, contractions change membrane tension and impact ion channels. VGICs are mechanosensitive, but the mechanisms of mechanosensitivity remain poorly understood. Here, we leverage the relative simplicity of NaChBac, a prokaryotic voltage-gated sodium channel from

    Abstract The gut contains the largest macrophage pool in the body, with populations of macrophages residing in the mucosa and muscularis propria of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Muscularis macrophages (MMs), which are located within the muscularis propria, interact with cells essential for GI function, such as interstitial cells of Cajal, enteric neurons, smooth muscle cells, enteric glia, and fibroblast-like cells, suggesting that these immune cells contribute to several aspects of GI function. This review focuses on the latest insights on the factors contributing to MM heterogeneity and the functional interaction of MMs with other cell types essential for GI function. This review integrates the latest findings on macrophages in other organs with increasing knowledge of MMs to better understand their role in a healthy and diseased gut. We describe the factors that contribute to (muscularis macrophage) MM heterogeneity, and the nature of MM interactions with cells regulating GI function. Finally, we also describe the increasing evidence suggesting a critical role of another immune cell type, the mast cell, in normal and diseased GI physiology.

    Abstract Mechanosensation, the ability to properly sense mechanical stimuli and transduce them into physiologic responses, is an essential determinant of gastrointestinal (GI) function. Abnormalities in this process result in highly prevalent GI functional and motility disorders. In the GI tract, several cell types sense mechanical forces and transduce them into electrical signals, which elicit specific cellular responses. Some mechanosensitive cells like sensory neurons act as specialized mechanosensitive cells that detect forces and transduce signals into tissue-level physiological reactions. Nonspecialized mechanosensitive cells like smooth muscle cells (SMCs) adjust their function in response to forces. Mechanosensitive cells use various mechanoreceptors and mechanotransducers. Mechanoreceptors detect and convert force into electrical and biochemical signals, and mechanotransducers amplify and direct mechanoreceptor responses. Mechanoreceptors and mechanotransducers include ion channels, specialized cytoskeletal proteins, cell junction molecules, and G protein-coupled receptors. SMCs are particularly important due to their role as final effectors for motor function. Myogenic reflex-the ability of smooth muscle to contract in response to stretch rapidly-is a critical smooth muscle function. Such rapid mechanotransduction responses rely on mechano-gated and mechanosensitive ion channels, which alter their ion pores' opening in response to force, allowing fast electrical and Ca
