Monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), a potent monocyte chemoattractant secreted by endothelial cells (ECs), is believed to play a key role in the early events of atherogenesis. Since vascular ECs are constantly subjected to mechanical stresses, we examined how cyclic strain affects the expression of the MCP-1 gene in human ECs grown on a flexible membrane base deformed by sinusoidal negative pressure (peak level, -16 kPa at 60 cycles per minute). Northern blot analysis demonstrated that the MCP-1 mRNA levels in ECs subjected to strain for 1, 5, or 24 hours were double those in control ECs (P < .05). This strain-induced increase was mainly serum independent, and MCP-1 mRNA level returned to its control basal level 3 hours after release of strain. Culture media from strained ECs contained approximately twice the MCP-1 concentration and more than twice the monocyte chemotactic activity of media from control ECs (P < .05). Pretreatment of collected media with anti-MCP-1 antibody suppressed such activity. Monocyte adhesion to ECs subjected to strain for 12 hours was 1.8-fold greater than adhesion to unstrained control ECs (P < .05). A protein kinase C inhibitor, calphostin C, abolished the strain-induced MCP-1 gene expression. In addition, cAMP- or cGMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitors (KT5720 and KT5823, respectively) partially inhibited such expression. Pretreatment with EGTA or the intracellular Ca2+ chelator BAPTA/AM strongly suppressed the strain-induced MCP-1 mRNA. Verapamil, a Ca2+ channel blocker, greatly reduced MCP-1 mRNA levels in both strained and unstrained ECs.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
