Primary cilia on endothelial cells : component of the shear stress sensor localized to athero-prone flow areas..

The mechanosensory function makes primary cilia attractive for our study on blood flow-induced shear stress sensing by endothelial cells.. Primary cilia are very

For each specific area of the cardiovascular system sham operated embryos were compared with clipped embryos and, as endothelial cells in specific areas of the heart can

In the embryonic chicken heart and vasculature, KLF2 is specifically expressed by endocardial cells with high expression in the atrioventricular canal, the inner curvature, and

In our experiments, we subjected ciliated endothelial cells to different patterns of shear stress at equal shear levels, whereas in vivo, non-ciliated areas 16 are exposed to

Combining the now available data from in vivo and in vitro studies we are still left with some conflicting features: (1) The relation between pulse frequency and endothelial

To quantify the difference in the amount of primary cilia per vessel wall volume between disturbed and undisturbed shear stress areas and between wild-type and Apoe -/- mice, the

Ciliated cells have been shown to propagate the Ca 2+ signal to neighboring cells via gap junctions 6,11 , rendering shear stress sensing by the endothelial cell layer a
