Effect of gap junction blocking by octanol (OCT) on shear response for control and IL1-preconditioned FLS. Percent responders decreased significantly for both control and IL1-preconditioned groups with octanol (a), compared to without octanol (dotted boxes). Mean peak magnitude (b) and AUC (c) significantly decreased, while mean peak latency (d) significantly increased with octanol treatment for IL1-preconditioned FLS. Octanol-treated IL1 group also exhibited significance versus octanol-treated control FLS for all metrics. *p<0.001 vs. CTL+OCT. #p<0.001 vs. respective non-octanol group. N reported on each bar, pooled across triplicate slides per group.
