VEGF‐induced Ca 2+ signalling was investigated in CD133 + /VEGFR‐2 + progenitor cells isolated from human adipose stroma. Colonies derived from CD133 + immunoselected cells displayed inhomogenous Ca 2+ signals, with variable magnitude of VEGF‐induced Ca 2+ entry, which positively correlated with expression of the Ca 2+ channel protein TRPC3. High levels of VEGF‐induced Ca 2+ entry and TRPC3 expression were preferentially detected in rim areas of expanding colonies. Dominant negative suppression of TRPC3 inhibited VEGF‐induced Ca 2+ entry into CD133 + cells. Our results identify TRPC3 as a key Ca 2+ entry channel in a subset of CD133 + stem cells. We suggest TRPC3 as an essential determinant of cell fate in CD133 + progenitor‐derived colonies.
