Mechanosensory entities and functionality of endothelial cells.
The endothelial cells of the blood circulation are exposed to hemodynamic forces, such as cyclic strain, hydrostatic forces, and shear stress caused by the blood fluid's frictional force. Endothelial cells perceive mechanical forces via mechanosensors and thus elicit physiological reactions such as alterations in vessel width. The mechanosensors considered comprise ion channels, structures linked to the plasma membrane, cytoskeletal spectrin scaffold, mechanoreceptors, and junctional proteins. This review focuses on endothelial mechanosensors and how they alter the vascular functions of endothelial cells. The current state of knowledge on the dysregulation of endothelial mechanosensitivity in disease is briefly presented. The interplay in mechanical perception between endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells is briefly outlined. Finally, future research avenues are highlighted, which are necessary to overcome existing limitations.
期刊介绍:
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology is a broad-scope, interdisciplinary open-access journal, focusing on the fundamental processes of life, led by Prof Amanda Fisher and supported by a geographically diverse, high-quality editorial board.
The journal welcomes submissions on a wide spectrum of cell and developmental biology, covering intracellular and extracellular dynamics, with sections focusing on signaling, adhesion, migration, cell death and survival and membrane trafficking. Additionally, the journal offers sections dedicated to the cutting edge of fundamental and translational research in molecular medicine and stem cell biology.
With a collaborative, rigorous and transparent peer-review, the journal produces the highest scientific quality in both fundamental and applied research, and advanced article level metrics measure the real-time impact and influence of each publication.
