Abstract
Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) play a vital role in postnatal vascular injury and repair, especially vasculogenesis and angiogenesis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of laminar shear stress in attenuating the decreased-expression of complement regulatory protein CD59 and the mechanism of cytoskeleton F-actin. Methods: EPCs were isolated from human umbilical vein blood and planted on glass slides, which applied to the laminar shear stress force (12 dyne/cm2) in a high glucose (20 mM) culture environment. The gene and protein expression of CD59 were detected by SYBGreen quantitative PCR and fluorescence activated cell sorter (FACS) respectively. The rearrangement of cytoskeleton F-actin was detected by FITC-phalloidin staining. Results: The elevated effect of shear stress on the expression of CD59 was significantly reduced in high glucose condition. Moreover, we found that F-actin was disorganized by high glucose, while rearrangement of cytoskeleton would be reversed by a moderate concentration of jasplakinolide (JAS) intervention. Conclusion:
Our study indicated that high glucose inhibiting the rearrangement of EPCs cytoskeleton resulted the sensitivity of EPCs to laminar shear stress which should elevate the expression of complement regulatory protein CD59. As a result, EPCs was sensitive to membrane attack complex (MAC) -mediated cell autolysis.
期刊介绍:
The field of biomechanics concerns with motion, deformation, and forces in biological systems. With the explosive progress in molecular biology, genomic engineering, bioimaging, and nanotechnology, there will be an ever-increasing generation of knowledge and information concerning the mechanobiology of genes, proteins, cells, tissues, and organs. Such information will bring new diagnostic tools, new therapeutic approaches, and new knowledge on ourselves and our interactions with our environment. It becomes apparent that biomechanics focusing on molecules, cells as well as tissues and organs is an important aspect of modern biomedical sciences. The aims of this journal are to facilitate the studies of the mechanics of biomolecules (including proteins, genes, cytoskeletons, etc.), cells (and their interactions with extracellular matrix), tissues and organs, the development of relevant advanced mathematical methods, and the discovery of biological secrets. As science concerns only with relative truth, we seek ideas that are state-of-the-art, which may be controversial, but stimulate and promote new ideas, new techniques, and new applications.
