Abstract:

Piezo1 is a novel mechanosensitive ion channel protein (MSCP), which was discovered in 2010 in the Neuro2A neuroblastoma cell line and encoded by the Fam38a gene. Piezo1 is widely expressed in various organs and cells, such as lung, skin, bladder, kidney, endothelial cells and red blood cells. It is activated by mechanical stimulation, regulating intracellular and extracellular Ca2+ concentration to modulate downstream intracellular signaling pathways. Recent studies have shown that Piezo1 plays an important role in the occurrence and development of infectious diseases. This article reviews the basic physiological functions and regulatory mechanisms of Piezo1, its functions in immune cells, and its relationship with infection-related diseases, which intended to provide new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for the clinical prevention and treatment of infection-related diseases.

Key words: Piezo1, Mechanosensitive ion channel protein, Immune cells, Infection-related diseases
