Inhibition of store-operated channels (SOC) attenuates shear stress-induced NO production. SOCs were inhibited using the blocker SKF-96365 (SKF). Cells were treated with 50 μM of SKF for 10 min prior to insertion into the chamber. Each membrane was exposed to a series of 5 step changes of 0.1 to 10 dyn/cm². A. Sample traces of the response for untreated (solid line) and SKF treated (dotted line) cells. The steady-state concentration was offset to zero in order to show the individual NO response due to the step change occurring at 50s. B. Bar graph representing the Δ[NO] response to shear stress in untreated and SKF treated cells. The Δ[NO] response for SKF treated cells averaged 60% of the untreated responses and were found to be statistically significant (Mean and SEM, one-tailed t-test. n=3 each, *p<0.05).
