TRPV4-mediated Mechanotransduction Regulates the Differentiation of Valvular Interstitial Cells to Myofibroblasts: Implications for Aortic Stenosis
2024-11-06
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> As aortic valve stenosis (AVS) progresses, the valve tissue also stiffens. This increase in tissue stiffness causes the valvular interstitial cells (VICs) to transform into myofibroblasts in response. VIC-to-myofibroblast differentiation is critically involved in the development of AVS. Herein, we investigated the role of mechanosensitive Ca 2+ -permeant transient receptor potential vanilloid 4...
