We report that a localized intracellular and extracellular Ca2+ mobilization occurs at the site of microscopic epithelial damage in vivo and is required to mediate tissue repair. Intravital confocal/two-photon microscopy continuously imaged the surgically exposed stomach mucosa of anesthetized mice while photodamage of gastric epithelial surface cells created a microscopic lesion that healed within 15 min. Transgenic mice with an intracellular Ca2+-sensitive protein (yellow cameleon 3.0) report that intracellular Ca2+ selectively increases in restituting gastric epithelial cells adjacent to the damaged cells. Pretreatment with U-73122, indomethacin, 2-aminoethoxydiphenylborane, or verapamil inhibits repair of the damage and also inhibits the intracellular Ca2+ increase. Confocal imaging of Fura-Red dye in luminal superfusate shows a localized extracellular Ca2+ increase at the gastric surface adjacent to the damage that temporally follows intracellular Ca2+ mobilization. Indomethacin and verapamil also inhibit the luminal Ca2+ increase. Intracellular Ca2+ chelation (1,2-bis(o-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N,N-tetraacetic acid/acetoxymethyl ester, BAPTA/AM) fully inhibits intracellular and luminal Ca2+ increases, whereas luminal calcium chelation (N-(2-hydroxyetheyl)-ethylendiamin-N,N,N-triacetic acid trisodium, HEDTA) blocks the increase of luminal Ca2+ and unevenly inhibits late-phase intracellular Ca2+ mobilization. Both modes of Ca2+ chelation slow gastric repair. In plasma membrane Ca-ATPase 1(+/-) mice, but not plasma membrane Ca-ATPase 4(-/-) mice, there is slowed epithelial repair and a diminished gastric surface Ca2+ increase. We conclude that endogenous Ca2+, mobilized by signaling pathways and transmembrane Ca2+ transport, causes increased Ca2+ levels at the epithelial damage site that are essential to gastric epithelial cell restitution in vivo.
