Piezo1-Regulated Mechanotransduction Controls Flow-Activated Lymphatic Expansion
15 Jun 2022
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations in PIEZO1 (Piezo type mechanosensitive ion channel component 1) cause human lymphatic malformations. We have previously uncovered an ORAI1 (ORAI calcium release-activated calcium modulator 1)-mediated mechanotransduction pathway that triggers lymphatic sprouting through Notch downregulation in response to fluid flow. However, the identity of its upstream mechanosensor remains unknown. This...
