In vivo, vascular walls are exposed to mechanical stretch, which may promote atherogenesis. This study was designed to investigate the effect of mechanical stretch on the production and gene expression of cytokines in endothelial cells (ECs) of human umbilical veins. ECs were cultured on flexible silicone membranes and exposed to cyclic mechanical stretch. Although the secretion levels of interleukin (IL)-1beta, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, IL-6, granulocyte (G) -colony stimulating factor (CSF), G and macrophage (M) -CSF, and M-CSF were not affected by cyclic stretch over 24 hours, the levels of IL-8 and monocyte chemotactic and activating factor (MCAF)/monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) were significantly increased by cyclic stretch. Northern blot analysis indicated that the mRNA levels of IL-8 and MCAF/MCP-1 were upregulated by cyclic stretch as a function of its intensity. Cytochalasin D, which disrupts the actin cytoskeleton, abolished the stretch-induced gene expression of IL-8 and MCAF/MCP-1. In contrast, neither inhibition of stretch-activated ion channels nor disruption of microtubules affected the induction of these chemokines by cyclic stretch. Northern blot analysis using enzyme inhibitors showed that phospholipase C, protein kinase C, and tyrosine kinase were involved in the stretch-induced gene expression of IL-8 and MCAF/MCP-1, whereas cAMP- or cGMP-dependent protein kinase was not. In conclusion, cyclic stretch enhanced the secretion and gene expression of IL-8 and MCAF/MCP-1 in a stretch-dependent fashion, and the integrity of the actin cytoskeleton and activities of phospholipase C, protein kinase C, and tyrosine kinase may be essential in the process of stretch-induced gene induction of IL-8 and MCAF/MCP-1.

D007473 Ion Channels Gated, ion-selective glycoproteins that traverse membranes. The stimulus for ION CHANNEL GATING can be due to a variety of stimuli such as LIGANDS, a TRANSMEMBRANE POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE, mechanical deformation or through INTRACELLULAR SIGNALING PEPTIDES AND PROTEINS.

D010738 Type C Phospholipases A subclass of phospholipases that hydrolyze the phosphoester bond found in the third position of GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS. Although the singular term phospholipase C specifically refers to an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of PHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINE (EC 3.1.4.3), it is commonly used in the literature to refer to broad variety of enzymes that specifically catalyze the hydrolysis of PHOSPHATIDYLINOSITOLS. Lecithinase C,Phospholipase C,Phospholipases, Type C,Phospholipases C
D010812 Physical Stimulation Act of eliciting a response from a person or organism through physical contact. Stimulation, Physical,Physical Stimulations,Stimulations, Physical
D011493 Protein Kinase C An serine-threonine protein kinase that requires the presence of physiological concentrations of CALCIUM and membrane PHOSPHOLIPIDS. The additional presence of DIACYLGLYCEROLS markedly increases its sensitivity to both calcium and phospholipids. The sensitivity of the enzyme can also be increased by PHORBOL ESTERS and it is believed that protein kinase C is the receptor protein of tumor-promoting phorbol esters.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D015854 Up-Regulation A positive regulatory effect on physiological processes at the molecular, cellular, or systemic level. At the molecular level, the major regulatory sites include membrane receptors, genes (GENE EXPRESSION REGULATION), mRNAs (RNA, MESSENGER), and proteins.
