Endothelial cell Piezo1 promotes vascular smooth muscle cell differentiation on large arteries by Javier Abello, Ying Yin, Yonghui Zhao, Josh Maurer, Jihui Lee, Cherokee Bodell, Jahmiera Richee, Abigail J. Clevenger, Zarek Burton, Megan E. Goeckel, Michelle Lin, Stephanie Grainger, Carmen M. Halabi, Shreya A. Raghavan, Rajan Sah, Amber N. Stratman

“…Using a series of small molecule antagonists or agonists to temporally regulate Piezo1 activity, we identified a role for the Piezo1 channel in regulating klf2a, a blood flow responsive transcription factor, expression levels and altered targeting of vSMCs between arteries and veins. Increasing Piezo1 activity suppressed klf2a and increased vSMC association with the cardinal vein, while inhibition of Piezo1 activity increased klf2a levels and decreased vSMC association with arteries. …”
