“…The calcium-permeable ion channel transient receptor potential vanilloid subfamily 4 (TRPV4) is expressed in various tissues and cells (e.g., smooth muscle of the urinary bladder, epithelial cells of kidney, airways, sensory neurons, and vascular endothelium) and is involved in several physiological processes and diseases, including regulation of blood flow, shear-induced vasodilation, and epithelial ciliary activity (30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37). TRPV4-mediated pathological events include neurogenic inflammation, hyperalgesia, endothelial dysfunction, and pulmonary and cardiac tissue fibrosis (33,36,(38)(39)(40).…”
