Shear stress and intermediate-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels.
Vascular endothelial cells (EC) are continuously exposed to shear stress associated with the flowing blood. Over the years, it has become clear that such shear exerts a multitude of effects on endothelial biology and vascular function and structure, ranging in time span from seconds to months. On the scale of seconds, shear-dependent vasodilation has been demonstrated in many experimental setti...
متن کاملLaminin binding conveys mechanosensing in endothelial cells.
In endothelial cells, forces like shear stress are transferred to focal adhesion sites and activate in concert with matrix receptor kinases, leading to an initiation of signaling cascades. The laminin binding protein is one of these matrix receptors and is critically involved in sensing and quantification of shear stress.
متن کاملCaveolae: A Role in Endothelial Inflammation and Mechanotransduction?
Vascular inflammation and disease progression, such as atherosclerosis, are in part a consequence of haemodynamic forces generated by changes in blood flow. The haemodynamic forces, such as shear stress or stretch, interact with vascular endothelial cells, which transduce the mechanical stimuli into biochemical signals via mechanosensors, which can induce an upregulation in pathways involved in...
متن کاملMetalloproteinases, Mechanical Factors and Vascular Remodeling
Chronic increases in arterial blood flow elicit an adaptive response of the arterial wall, leading to vessel enlargement and reduction in wall shear stress to physiological baseline value. Release of nitric oxide from endothelial cells exposed to excessive shear is a fundamental step in the remodeling process, and potentially triggers a cascade of events, including growth factor induction and m...
متن کاملRole of cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans in endothelial cell migration and mechanotransduction.
Endothelial cell (EC) migration is critical in wound healing and angiogenesis. Fluid shear stress due to blood flow plays an important role in EC migration. However, the role of EC surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) in EC adhesion, migration, and mechanotransduction is not well understood. Here, we investigated the effects of HSPG disruption on the adhesion, migration, and mechanotra...
