Abstract excerpt
We investigated the possibility that the TRPC gene family of putative store-operated Ca2+ entry channels contributes to the increase in microvascular endothelial permeability by prolonging the rise in intracellular Ca2+ signaling. Studies were made in wild-type (wt) and TRPC4 knockout (TRPC4(-/-) mice and lung vascular endothelial cells (LECs) isolated from these animals. RT-PCR showed expression of TRPC1, TRPC3,...
