Regulation of bovine brain microvascular endothelial tight junction assembly and barrier function by laminar shear stress.
Blood-brain barrier (BBB) controls paracellular solute diffusion into the brain microenvironment and is maintained primarily by tight junctions between adjacent microvascular endothelial cells. Studies implicate blood flow-associated shear stress as a pathophysiological mediator of BBB function, although detailed biochemical data are scarce. We hypothesize that shear stress upregulates BBB func...
متن کاملMolecular mechanism of endothelial growth arrest by laminar shear stress.
This study was designed to elucidate the mechanism underlying the inhibition of endothelial cell growth by laminar shear stress. Tumor suppressor gene p53 was increased in bovine aortic endothelial cells subjected to 24 h of laminar shear stress at 3 dynes (1 dyne = 10 microN)/cm(2) or higher, but not at 1.5 dynes/cm(2). One of the mechanisms of the shear-induced increase in p53 is its stabiliz...
متن کاملLaminar shear stress inhibits cathepsin L activity in endothelial cells.
OBJECTIVE The cysteine proteases, cathepsins, have been implicated in vascular remodeling and atherosclerosis, processes known to be regulated by shear stress. It is not known, however, whether shear regulates cathepsins. We examined the hypothesis that shear stress regulates cathepsin activity in endothelial cells. METHODS AND RESULTS Mouse aortic endothelial cells (MAECs) exposed to atherop...
متن کاملPrimary cilia of human endothelial cells disassemble under laminar shear stress
We identified primary cilia and centrosomes in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) by antibodies to acetyl-alpha-tubulin and capillary morphogenesis gene-1 product (CMG-1), a human homologue of the intraflagellar transport (IFT) protein IFT-71 in Chlamydomonas. CMG-1 was present in particles along primary cilia of HUVEC at interphase and around the oldest basal body/centriol...
متن کاملLaminar shear stress regulates endothelial kinin B1 receptor expression and function: potential implication in atherogenesis.
OBJECTIVE The proinflammatory phenotype induced by low laminar shear stress (LSS) is implicated in atherogenesis. The kinin B1 receptor (B1R), known to be induced by inflammatory stimuli, exerts many proinflammatory effects including vasodilatation and leukocyte recruitment. We investigated whether low LSS is a stimulus for endothelial B1R expression and function. METHODS AND RESULTS Human an...
