Aim: The present study was designed to explore whether the Ca2+-permeable transient receptor potential melastatin 7 (TRPM7) channel is involved in Ang Ⅱ-induced phenotype switching of ascending aortic VSMCs, and to dissect the molecular mechanisms by which TRPM7 modulates VSMC phenotype.Methods: Whole-cell and single-channel patch damping was carried out to measure TRPM7 currents in mouse aortic smooth muscle cells.TRPM7-mediated Ca2+ entry was assessed by Fura-2/AM loading.
