“…Cationic mechanosensitive channels (CMCs), including transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 4 (TRPV4) ( Ryskamp et al, 2016 ), TWIK-related potassium channel-1 (TREK-1) ( Carreon et al, 2017 ), and Piezo ( Yarishkin et al, 2021 ; Zhu et al, 2021 ; Morozumi et al, 2022 ), have the potential to modulate calcium homeostasis, cell cytoskeleton organization, extracellular matrix (ECM) composition, and PGF2alpha secretion, and could therefore influence the responses of TM cells. In accordance with Yarishkin et al, we also found that GsMTx4, a non-selective inhibitor of CMCs, reduces the TM’s steady-state facility of AH outflow ( Yarishkin et al, 2021 ; Zhu et al, 2021 ).…”
