Figure Legend Snippet: High-resolution representative image of collagen gels used for contractility experiments without a circle around the periphery of the gel.
Techniques Used:
Figure Legend Snippet: ( A ) Representative longitudinal 24-well plate scans of collagen type I hydrogels seeded with primary TM (pTM) subjected to the different treatments (dashed lines outline size of contracted constructs). ( B ) Longitudinal quantification of hydrogel construct size compared to the control group at the 0 min time point. ( C ) Detailed comparisons between groups at each experimental time point. n = 6 hydrogels/group. One-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test, data in ( B, C ) show individual data points over mean ± SD. One pTM strain shown: TGFβ2-induced contractility induction, HC-06-mediated rescue of hypercontractility, and GSK101-induced transient (15 min) contraction were consistent across (3/3) pTM strains tested . **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001.
Techniques Used: Construct, Control
Figure Legend Snippet: Chronic exposure to TGFβ2 induces upregulation of functional TRPV4 channels alongside the autoinhibitory canonical modulator SMAD7. TRPV4-mediated Ca 2+ influx, canonical, and non-canonical TGFβ2 signaling stimulate the Rho/ROCK pathway to augment cytoskeletal contractility and stimulate extracellular matrix (ECM) release. Actomyosin contractility promotes outflow resistance and drives OHT and underpins a vicious feedforward TRPV4-dependent loop that maintains OHT. This figure was created using BioRender.com .
