Precise regulation of stem cell activity is crucial for tissue homeostasis and necessary to prevent overproliferation. In the  Drosophila  adult gut, high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been detected with different types of tissue damage, and oxidative stress has been shown to be both necessary and sufficient to trigger intestinal stem cell (ISC) proliferation. However, the connection between oxidative stress and mitogenic signals remains obscure. In a screen for genes required for ISC proliferation in response to oxidative stress, we identified two regulators of cytosolic Ca 2+  levels, transient receptor potential A1 (TRPA1) and ryanodine receptor (RyR). Characterization of TRPA1 and RyR demonstrates that Ca 2+  signaling is required for oxidative stress-induced activation of the Ras/MAPK pathway, which in turns drives ISC proliferation. Our findings provide a link between redox regulation and Ca 2+  signaling and reveal a novel mechanism by which ISCs detect stress signals.

Oxidative stress induces stem cell proliferation via TRPA1/RyR-mediated Ca 2+ signaling in the Drosophila midgut
