Mammalian cells are continuously exposed to internally generated or externally applied mechanical stimuli. Mechanosensitive proteins enable cells to sense mechanical stress and induce protective mechanisms like autophagy and cytoskeletal reorientation. However, how these contribute to cellular and tissue adaptations remains largely unknown. Here, we studied the response of rat smooth muscle cells (A7r5) to uniaxial cyclic stretch. Stretching induced autophagy and adaptive actin fiber reorientati ...[more]
