Shear stress influences spatial variations in vascular Mn-SOD expression: implication for LDL nitration.
Fluid shear stress modulates vascular production of endothelial superoxide anion (O2*-) and nitric oxide (*NO). Whether the characteristics of shear stress influence the spatial variations in mitochondrial manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) expression in vasculatures is not well defined. We constructed a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model simulating spatial variations in ...
متن کاملPulsatile versus oscillatory shear stress regulates NADPH oxidase subunit expression: implication for native LDL oxidation.
Shear stress regulates endothelial nitric oxide and superoxide (O2-*) production, implicating the role of NADPH oxidase activity. It is unknown whether shear stress regulates the sources of reactive species production, consequent low-density lipoprotein (LDL) modification, and initiation of inflammatory events. Bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs) in the presence of 50 microg/mL of native LD...
متن کاملSelective cerebral vascular dysfunction in Mn-SOD-deficient mice.
We tested the hypothesis that the mitochondrial form of superoxide dismutase [manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD)] protects the cerebral vasculature. Basilar arteries (baseline diameter approximately 140 microm) from mice were isolated, cannulated, and pressurized to measure vessel diameter. In arteries from C57BL/6 mice preconstricted with U-46619, acetylcholine (ACh; an endothelium-depend...
متن کاملDifferential expression of EC-SOD, Mn-SOD and CuZn-SOD in rat lung exposed to crystalline silica.
Superoxide dismutases (SODs) are antioxidant enzymes that catalyze the dismutation of superoxide into hydrogen peroxide. There are 3 kinds of isozymes: extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD), manganese-containing superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) and copper- and zinc-containing superoxide dismutase (CuZn-SOD). To examine the expression of SOD isozymes in lungs injured by crystalline silica, we...
متن کاملFluid shear stress transcriptionally induces lectin-like oxidized LDL receptor-1 in vascular endothelial cells.
Fluid shear stress has been shown to modulate various endothelial functions, including gene expression. In this study, we examined the effect of fluid shear stress on the expression of lectin-like oxidized LDL receptor-1 (LOX-1), a novel receptor for atherogenic oxidized LDL in cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs). Exposure of BAECs to the physiological range of shear stress (1 to 1...
