We employed a microfluidic device to study the effects of hydraulic pressure on cardiomyoblast H9c2. The 170 mm Hg pressure increased the cellular area and the expression of atrial natriuretic peptide. With the same device, we demonstrated that the effects of hydraulic pressure on the cardiomyoblast could be reduced by the inhibitor of focal adhesion kinase. This mechanical-chemical antagonism could lead to a potential therapeutic strategy of hypertension-induced cardiac hypertrophy. (C) 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.
