Membrane cholesterol regulates TRPV4 function, cytoskeletal expression, and the cellular response to tension
2020-12-02
Abstract excerpt
Despite the association of cholesterol with debilitating pressure-related diseases, its role in mechanotransduction is not well understood. We investigated the relationship between mechanical strain, free membrane cholesterol, actin cytoskeleton, and activation of stretch- activated TRPV4 (transient receptor potential vanilloid isoform 4) channel in human trabecular meshwork (TM) cells. Physiological levels of cyc...
