(A) Schematic diagram showing mechanical stimuli to which vascular and cardiac walls are exposed. (B) Potential converging pathways involved in activation of TRPV2 by mechanical stimuli: (a) involvement of ankyrin repeats in mechanoactivation of TRPV2; (b) TRPV2 activation by mechanical stimuli–producing factors; (c) activation of TRPV2 through stimulation of cell-adhesion molecules or associated proteins with TRPV2 by mechanical stimuli.
