Although a function of TRPC4 channels in alveolar repair has never been reported before, other members of the TRPC family have already been described as regulators of cell migration in non-tumoural cells (TRPC1 and TRPC3 in intestinal epithelial cells or monocytes respectively [61, 62]) or in lung cancer cells (TRPC1, 3, 4 and 6 [63]). This evidence concerns the gene TRPC3 and lung cancer.
