Cyclic stretch‐induced nuclear localization of transcription factors results in increased nuclear targeting of plasmids in alveolar epithelial cells

Abstract: Background-We have shown previously that cyclic stretch corresponding to that experienced by the pulmonary epithelium during normal breathing enhances nonviral gene transfer and expression in alveolar epithelial cells by increasing plasmid intracellular trafficking. Although reorganization of the microtubule and actin cytoskeletons by cyclic stretch is necessary for increased plasmid trafficking, the role of nuclear entry in this enhanced trafficking has not been elucidated.

“…3,8,66 More generally, the results alert us to the necessity of studying drug delivery in experimental models that adequately address the typical microenvironment of the target cell including biochemical and biomechanical factors such as flow and ischemia for endothelial cells, contraction for muscle cells, and stretch for alveolar epithelial cells. 67,68 …”

“…However, the mechanism by which hyperstretch induces miR-155 expression remain unclear. Recent studies suggest that expression of miR-155 in cancer growth and inflammation can be regulated by a variety of receptors and transcription factors, including TLR4 and AP-1 [58] and that IL-10 inhibits miR-155 by blocking the TLR4 signaling [59]. Mechanical stretch has been shown to modulate the activities of those molecules [60].…”

“…Several recent studies have addressed signaling mechanisms that contribute to VILI [ 5 ]. Mechanical forces arising from MV has been shown to directly stretch cell membrane, and rapidly induce phosphorylation and activation of receptors [ 6 ], cation channels [ 7 ], phospholipases [ 8 ], and signaling pathways such as protein kinase C, mitogen-activated protein kinases, and transcriptional factors that regulate lung inflammation and injury [ 9 , 10 , 11 ].…”
