We assessed whether hypoosmotic swelling of cardiac myocytes activates volume-sensitive Cl(-) current (I Cl,swell) via the angiotensin II (AngII)-reactive oxygen species (ROS) signalling cascade. The AngII-ROS pathway previously was shown to elicit I(Cl,swell) upon mechanical stretch of beta(1D) integrin. Integrin stretch and osmotic swelling are, however, distinct stimuli. For example, blocking Src kinases stimulates swelling-induced but inhibits stretch-induced I Cl,swell.
