Shear Stress–Initiated Signaling and Its Regulation of Endothelial Function

Abstract

Atherosclerosis develops preferentially at branches and curvatures of the arterial tree, where blood flow pattern is disturbed rather than being laminar, and wall shear stress has an irregular distribution without defined directions. The endothelium in the atherosusceptible regions, in comparison to that in atheroresistant regions, shows activation of proproliferative and proinflammatory gene expressions, reduced production of nitric oxide (NO), increased leukocyte adhesion, and permeability, as well as other atheroprone phenotypes. Differences in gene expressions and cell phenotypes have been detected in endothelia residing in native atherosusceptible and atheroresistant regions of the arteries, or in arteries from animal models with artificial creation of disturbed flow. Similar results have also been shown in in vitro systems that apply controlled shear stresses with or without clear directions to cultured endothelial cells in fluid-dynamically designed flow-loading devices. The available evidence indicates that the coordination of multiple signaling networks, rather than individual separate pathways, links the mechanical signals to specific genetic circuitries in orchestrating the mechanoresponsive networks to evoke comprehensive genetic and functional responses.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
