Mechanical force induced AT1R activation and downstream effects. TRPC channels are activated by mechanical stimulation of AT1R via a PLC-dependent signaling pathway, resulting in membrane depolarization, opening of L type voltage-gated calcium channels (not shown), and elevation of the free intracellular calcium concentration; which leads to force development, cell shortening and vasoconstriction.
