“…More recently, several GPCRs have been involved in the myogenic response of vascular smooth muscle cells (Kauffenstein et al, 2012; Mederos Y Schnitzler et al, 2016). These include the purinergic P2Y 6 receptor, the thromboxane A 2 (TP) receptor, sphingosine-1-phosphate receptors as well as the angiotensin AT 1 receptor and the cysteinyl leukotriene one receptors (CysLT 1 Rs) (Mederos y Schnitzler et al, 2008; Schleifenbaum et al, 2014; Storch et al, 2015; Kauffenstein et al, 2016; Kroetsch and Bolz, 2013). While stretch-induced activation of P2Y 6 , TP and S1P receptors is believed to involve the release of agonistic ligands (Kauffenstein et al, 2012; Kauffenstein et al, 2016; Kroetsch and Bolz, 2013), evidence has been provided that mechanical activation of AT 1 and CysLT 1 receptors occurs in an agonist-independent manner (Mederos Y Schnitzler et al, 2016; Mederos y Schnitzler et al, 2008; Storch et al, 2015).…”
