Abstract

Significance: Ion channels that are activated by mechanical force have been implicated in numerous physiological systems. In mammals, the identity of these channels remains poorly understood. We recently described Piezos as evolutionarily conserved mechanically activated ion channels and showed that Piezo2 is required for activation of touch receptors in the skin. Here we show that Piezo1 is a critical component of endothelial cell mechanotransduction and is required for embryonic development. Piezo1 is expressed in embryonic endothelial cells and is activated by fluid shear stress. Loss of Piezo1 affects the ability of endothelial cells to alter their alignment when subjected to shear stress. These results suggest a potential role for Piezo1 in mechanotransduction in adult cardiovascular function and disease.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
