Micropipette aspiration of cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells exposed to shear stress.
The mechanical properties of cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells exposed to a fluid-imposed shear stress were studied using the micropipette technique. The cells, which were attached to a Thermanox plastic substrate, were exposed to a specific steady shear stress of either 10, 30, or 85 dynes/cm2 and for a duration ranging from 0.5 to 24 hours. Morphological changes in shape and orientatio...
متن کاملExtracellular Matrix of Cultured Bovine Aortic Endothelial Cells Contains
The extracellular matrix (ECM) of cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAEs) was analyzed by immunoblotting and reverse fibrin autography and shown to contain type 1 plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAl-i ). Most PAl-i in the ECM formed complexes with exogenously added tissuetype plasminogen activator (tPA). demonstrating that this PAl-i was functionally active. The resulting tPA/PAI-1 com...
متن کاملCultured Bovine Aortic Endothelial and Smooth Muscle Cells
Endothelial cell (EC) injury and the response of EC and smooth muscle cells (SMCs) to injury contribute to the pathophysiology in patients with vascular disease and atherosclerosis. Since platelets have been suggested to play an important role in modulating vascular injury, the present study was undertaken to examine the influence and mechanism of action of individual platelet factors on bovine...
متن کاملRenin - Angiotensin Components in Cultured Bovine Aortic Endothelial Cells
Cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells were examined for renin activity by biochemical, immunological, and immunohistochemical techniques. When cell sonicates were incubated with renin substrate, linear generation of angiotensin I was observed (1.12 ± 0.2 ng angiotensin I/10 cells per hr). The effect of pH on this activity was similar to that of bovine renal renin, and renin antibodies inhibi...
متن کاملMicropipette aspiration of living cells.
The mechanical behavior of living cells is studied with micropipette suction in which the surface of a cell is aspirated into a small glass tube while tracking the leading edge of its surface. Such edges can be tracked in a light microscope to an accuracy of +/-25 nm and suction pressures as small as 0.1-0.2 pN/microm2 can be imposed on the cell. Both soft cells, such as neutrophils and red cel...
