To elucidate some of the early mechanisms underlying the response of primary human endothelial cells to the initiation of flow, we investigated the changes in inositol lipid metabolism in cells exposed to arterial and venous levels of shear stress. We used a radioimmunoassay specific for inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins1,4,5P3) to demonstrate that initiation of an arterial shear stress caused a rapid rise in Ins1,4,5P3 levels which peaked after approximately 30 seconds of flow (2.1 +/- 0.2 fold stimulation) and remained elevated for at least 6 minutes after the initiation of flow. This increased Ins1,4,5P3 concentration is similar in magnitude to the increase caused by 10 microM histamine (2.8 +/- 0.3 fold stimulation). Thus these cells may detect the presence of mechanical stress by a signal transduction pathway involving inositol lipid metabolism.

D015290 Second Messenger Systems Systems in which an intracellular signal is generated in response to an intercellular primary messenger such as a hormone or neurotransmitter. They are intermediate signals in cellular processes such as metabolism, secretion, contraction, phototransduction, and cell growth. Examples of second messenger systems are the adenyl cyclase-cyclic AMP system, the phosphatidylinositol diphosphate-inositol triphosphate system, and the cyclic GMP system.

D015398 Signal Transduction The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.

D015544 Inositol 1,4,5-Trisphosphate Intracellular messenger formed by the action of phospholipase C on phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, which is one of the phospholipids that make up the cell membrane. Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate is released into the cytoplasm where it releases calcium ions from internal stores within the cell's endoplasmic reticulum. These calcium ions stimulate the activity of B kinase or calmodulin. 1,4,5-InsP3,Inositol 1,4,5-Triphosphate,Myo-Inositol 1,4,5-Trisphosphate,1,4,5-IP3,Myoinositol 1,4,5-Triphosphate
