Caveolae respond to cell stretch and contribute to stretch-induced signaling.
Caveolae are invaginations of the plasma membrane that are formed by caveolins. Caveolar membranes are also enriched in cholesterol, glycosphingolipids and signaling enzymes such as Src kinase. Here we investigate the effect of cell stretch upon caveolar dynamics and signaling. Transfection of C2 myoblasts with caveolin-3-YFP led to the formation of caveolae-like membrane pits 50-100 nm in diam...
متن کاملPeriosteum-derived cells respond to mechanical stretch and activate Wnt and BMP signaling pathways.
The periosteum supplies osteoblasts and nutrients for bone metabolism and is important for osteoblast differentiation and osteogenesis. Recently, periosteum-derived cells have been used for orofacial bone regeneration therapy. However, little is known about the function of the periosteum in physiological bone remodeling. On our hypothesis that the periosteum senses a mechanical stress to induce...
متن کاملMechanical stretch‐induced endoplasmic reticulum stress, apoptosis and inflammation contribute to thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection
Thoracic aortic aneurysm/dissection (TAAD) is characterized by excessive smooth muscle cell (SMC) loss, extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation and inflammation. In response to certain stimuli, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is activated and regulates apoptosis and inflammation. Excessive apoptosis promotes aortic inflammation and degeneration, leading to TAAD. Therefore, we studied the role ...
متن کاملPulsatile stretch remodels cell-to-cell communication in cultured myocytes.
Mechanical stretch is thought to play an important role in remodeling atrial and ventricular myocardium and may produce substrates that promote arrhythmogenesis. In the present work, neonatal rat ventricular myocytes were cultured for 4 days as confluent monolayers on thin silicone membranes and then subjected to linear pulsatile stretch for up to 6 hours. Action potential upstrokes and propaga...
متن کاملTo stretch or not to stretch: the role of stretching in injury prevention and performance.
Stretching is commonly practiced before sports participation; however, effects on subsequent performance and injury prevention are not well understood. There is an abundance of literature demonstrating that a single bout of stretching acutely impairs muscle strength, with a lesser effect on power. The extent to which these effects are apparent when stretching is combined with other aspects of a...
