Mitochondrial requirement for endothelial responses to cyclic strain: implications for mechanotransduction

Abstract: Mechanical strain triggers a variety of cellular responses, but the underlying mechanotransduction process has not been established. Endothelial cells (EC) respond to mechanical strain by upregulating adhesion molecule expression through a signaling process involving reactive oxygen species (ROS), but the site of their generation is unknown. Mitochondria anchor to the cytoskeleton and could function as mechanotransducers by releasing ROS during cytoskeletal strain. In human umbilical vein EC (HUVEC), ROS produ… Show more

“…Supporting our findings, Yun et al (47) observed a threefold increase in monocyte adhesion to cyclically strained HUVEC (25% strain, 0.5 Hz); antibodies against ICAM or VCAM decreased the monocyte adhesion (46). Ali et al (1) found that cyclic strain (ϳ25%, 0.25 Hz, 6 h) induced VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 expression 5.5-fold and 2.2-fold, respectively, in HUVEC, which was attenuated by DPI. The opposite H 2 O 2 profiles, enzyme activities, and cell adhesion molecule expressions between HAEC and HUVEC in response to cyclic strain and motion control provided evidence that ECs discriminate different mechanical stimuli and that the resulting phenotypes are specific to EC type.…”

“…Cyclic strain studies of cultured EC have been shown to increase ROS production (1,20,21,31,45). Microarray studies of EC subjected to cyclic strain showed that most differentially expressed genes are associated with oxidative stress (14).…”

“…This triggers a stimulus for the production of free radicals that, among other intracellular effects, promotes P-selectin exocytosis and increases the production of vascular cell adhesion molecule via nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), as well as proinflammatory events, which facilitate leukocyte adhesion. (57,58) In summary, the hyperdistension of the lung parenchyma in VILI seems to be transmitted from the extracellular environment to the interior of the cells through the extracellular matrixcytoskeleton connection, in which integrin plays the role of mediator. In this mechanism, certain intracellular proteins associated with adhesion structures are important, especially FAK and paxillin.…”
