Shear stress regulates endothelial microparticle release.
RATIONALE Endothelial activation and apoptosis release membrane-shed microparticles (EMP) that emerge as important biological effectors. OBJECTIVE Because laminar shear stress (SS) is a major physiological regulator of endothelial survival, we tested the hypothesis that SS regulates EMP release. METHODS AND RESULTS EMP levels were quantified by flow cytometry in medium of endothelial cells ...
متن کاملShear stress regulates the endothelial Kir2.1 ion channel.
Endothelial cells (ECs) line the mammalian vascular system and respond to the hemodynamic stimulus of fluid shear stress, the frictional force produced by blood flow. When ECs are exposed to shear stress, one of the fastest responses is an increase of K(+) conductance, which suggests that ion channels are involved in the early shear stress response. Here we show that an applied shear stress ind...
متن کاملShear stress regulates occludin content and phosphorylation.
Previous studies determined that shear stress imposed on bovine aortic endothelial cell (BAEC) monolayers increased the hydraulic conductivity (L(P)); however, the mechanism by which shear stress increases L(P) remains unknown. This study tested the hypothesis that shear stress regulates paracellular transport by altering the expression and phosphorylation state of the tight junction protein oc...
متن کاملFluid shear stress threshold regulates angiogenic sprouting.
The density and architecture of capillary beds that form within a tissue depend on many factors, including local metabolic demand and blood flow. Here, using microfluidic control of local fluid mechanics, we show the existence of a previously unappreciated flow-induced shear stress threshold that triggers angiogenic sprouting. Both intraluminal shear stress over the endothelium and transmural f...
متن کاملDeciphering the endothelial shear stress sensor.
The single nonmotile primary cilium, protruding several microns from the apical surface, contains cytoskeletal elements in a specific fashion. It consists of 9 circularly arranged microtubule doublets, as revealed by transmission electron microscopy,1 but lacks the central ones characteristic for motile cilia and flagellae. The primary cilium is anchored to the basal body and is thereby connect...
