In this study, we provide evidence of critical changes in the expression of non-selective cation currents (NSCC) during culture in rat aortic myocytes. A selective TRPV4 agonist, 4α-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate (4αPDD), had little effect on membrane currents and intracellular Ca2+ (Ca2+i) in freshly is...
