Store depletion has been shown to induce Ca<sup>2+</sup> entry by Na+/Ca+ exchange (NCX) 1 reversal in proliferative vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). The study objective was to investigate the role of transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels in store depletion and NCX1 reversal in proliferative VSMCs. In cultured VSMCs, expressing TRPC1, TRPC4, and TRPC6, the removal of extracellular Na<sup>+</sup> was followed by a significant increase of cytosolic Ca<sup>2+</sup> concentrati ...[more]
