Individual and combined effects of shear stress magnitude and spatial gradient on endothelial cell gene expression.
The apparent tendency of atherosclerotic lesions to form in complex blood flow environments has led to many theories regarding the importance of hemodynamic forces in endothelium-mediated atherosusceptibility. The effects of shear stress magnitude and spatial shear stress gradient on endothelial cell gene expression in vitro were examined in this study. Converging-width flow channels were desig...
متن کاملCooperative effects of matrix stiffness and fluid shear stress on endothelial cell behavior.
Arterial hemodynamic shear stress and blood vessel stiffening both significantly influence the arterial endothelial cell (EC) phenotype and atherosclerosis progression, and both have been shown to signal through cell-matrix adhesions. However, the cooperative effects of fluid shear stress and matrix stiffness on ECs remain unknown. To investigate these cooperative effects, we cultured bovine ao...
متن کاملEffects of biaxial oscillatory shear stress on endothelial cell proliferation and morphology.
Wall shear stress (WSS) on anchored cells affects their responses, including cell proliferation and morphology. In this study, the effects of the directionality of pulsatile WSS on endothelial cell proliferation and morphology were investigated for cells grown in a Petri dish orbiting on a shaker platform. Time and location dependent WSS was determined by computational fluid dynamics (CFD). At ...
متن کاملInhibition of adrenergic vasoconstriction by endothelial cell shear stress.
Isolated perfused rabbit carotid arteries were used to determine the effects of endothelial cell shear stress on the response to adrenergic nerve stimulation. Arterial segments with and without endothelium were cannulated and perfused with physiological salt solution. Adrenergic nerves were activated by transmural electrical field stimulation. Neurogenic vasoconstriction was significantly great...
متن کاملInfluence of nanopatterns on endothelial cell adhesion: Enhanced cell retention under shear stress.
In this study, nanopatterned crosslinked films of collagen Type I were seeded with human microvascular endothelial cells and tested for their suitability for vascular tissue engineering. Since the films will be rolled into tubes with concentric layers of collagen, nutrient transfer through the collagen films is quite crucial. Molecular diffusivity through the collagen films, cell viability, cel...
