Regulation of endothelial connexin40 expression by shear stress.
Endothelial connexin (Cx)40 plays an important role in signal propagation along blood vessel walls, modulating vessel diameter and thereby blood flow. Blood flow, in turn, has been shown to alter endothelial Cx40 expression. However, the timing and shear stress dependence of this relationship have remained unclear, as have the signal transduction pathways involved and the functional implication...
متن کاملMicroRNA-663 upregulated by oscillatory shear stress plays a role in inflammatory response of endothelial cells.
The mechanisms by which oscillatory shear stress (OS) induces, while high laminar shear stress (LS) prevents, atherosclerosis are still unclear. Here, we examined the hypothesis that OS induces inflammatory response, a critical atherogenic event, in endothelial cells by a microRNA (miRNA)-dependent mechanism. By miRNA microarray analysis using total RNA from human umbilical vein endothelial cel...
متن کاملShear stress-initiated signaling and its regulation of endothelial function.
Atherosclerosis develops preferentially at branches and curvatures of the arterial tree, where blood flow pattern is disturbed rather than being laminar, and wall shear stress has an irregular distribution without defined directions. The endothelium in the atherosusceptible regions, in comparison to that in atheroresistant regions, shows activation of proproliferative and proinflammatory gene e...
متن کاملRegulation of tetrahydrobiopterin biosynthesis by shear stress.
An essential cofactor for the endothelial NO synthase is tetrahydrobiopterin (H4B). In the present study, we show that in human endothelial cells, laminar shear stress dramatically increases H4B levels and enzymatic activity of GTP cyclohydrolase (GTPCH)-1, the first step of H4B biosynthesis. In contrast, protein levels of GTPCH-1 were not affected by shear. Shear did not change protein express...
متن کاملSpatial regulation of inflammation by human aortic endothelial cells in a linear gradient of shear stress.
OBJECTIVE Atherosclerosis is a focal disease that develops at sites of low and oscillatory shear stress in arteries. This study aimed to understand how endothelial cells sense a gradient of fluid shear stress and transduce signals that regulate membrane expression of cell adhesion molecules and monocyte recruitment. METHODS Human aortic endothelial cells were stimulated with TNF-alpha and sim...
