Core Tip Piezo mechanical sensitive channel is the core mechanical transduction hub for maintaining intestinal homeostasis, which can convert mechanical force into biological signals. They regulate a complex network encompassing epithelial renewal, barrier integrity, immune response and gastrointestinal dynamics. Piezo channel dysfunction can directly drive the development of inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome and colon cancer. Therefore, the pharmacological regulation of the Piezo channels by using specific drugs such as the agonist Yoda1 or the inhibitor grammostola spatulata mechanosensitive channel toxin 4 can provide a promising treatment strategy for the intestinal diseases.
