Figure Lengend Snippet: Mechanical pressure amplifies calcium influx via Piezo1/ITGB1‐mediated membrane tension. (A) RNA expression level of Piezo1/ITGB1 in cells exposed on mechanical pressure. (B) Protein expression level of Piezo1/ITGB1 in cells exposed on hydrostatic pressure. (C) The heatmap of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in T24 cells from RNA sequencing. (D) Go analysis of DEGs in T24 cells from RNA sequencing. E) KEGG analysis of DEGs in T24 cells from RNA sequencing. (F) The flow cytometry result of intracellular calcium flux in T24 and SV‐HUC cells exposed on hydrostatic pressure for 0, 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 h using Fluo‐4AM probe. (G) The flow cytometry result of intracellular calcium flux in T24 cells exposed on hydrostatic pressure with Piezo1 agonists or inhibitors. (H) The image of intracellular calcium flux in T24 cells exposed on hydrostatic pressure with agonists or inhibitors using Fluo‐4AM probe. (I) Expression level of Piezo1/ITGB1 signal of cells exposed on pressure with agonists or inhibitors. (J) Membrane tension through fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) in T24 cells exposed on pressure for 2 h. All data are presented as the Mean ± SD ( n = 3). * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, and *** p < 0.001. ns, no significant difference.
