Sentence |
denotes |
Shear stress inhibits smooth muscle cell-induced inflammatory gene expression in endothelial cells: role of NF-kappaB. |
| T2 |
119-130 |
Sentence |
denotes |
OBJECTIVES: |
| T3 |
131-238 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Vascular endothelial cells (ECs) are influenced by shear stress and neighboring smooth muscle cells (SMCs). |
| T4 |
239-373 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We investigated the inflammation-relevant gene expression in EC/SMC cocultures under static condition and in response to shear stress. |
| T5 |
374-396 |
Sentence |
denotes |
MATERIALS AND METHODS: |
| T6 |
397-646 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Under static condition, DNA microarrays and reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction identified 23 inflammation-relevant genes in ECs whose expression was significantly affected by coculture with SMCs, with 18 upregulated and 5 downregulated. |
| T7 |
647-827 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Application of shear stress (12 dynes/cm2) to the EC side of the coculture for 6 hours inhibited most of the proinflammatory gene expressions in ECs induced by coculture with SMCs. |
| T8 |
828-1169 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Inhibition of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) activation by the p65-antisense, lactacystin, and N-acetyl-cysteine blocked the coculture-induced EC expression of proinflammatory genes, indicating that the NF-kappaB binding sites in the promoters of these genes play a significant role in their expression as a result of coculture with SMCs. |
| T9 |
1170-1297 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays demonstrated the in vivo regulation of NF-kappaB recruitment to selected target promoters. |
| T10 |
1298-1416 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Shear stress inhibited the SMC coculture-induced NF-kappaB activation in ECs and monocytic THP-1 cell adhesion to ECs. |
| T11 |
1417-1429 |
Sentence |
denotes |
CONCLUSIONS: |
| T12 |
1430-1575 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Our findings suggest that shear stress plays an inhibitory role in the proinflammatory gene expression in ECs located in close proximity to SMCs. |
