The aim of the experiment was to determine the effect of cyclic stretch-relaxation ("stretch") on gene expression patterns in normal diploid human bladder smooth muscle cells. Cells plated on silicone elastomer bottomed 6-well culture dishes were grown to ~80% confluence, serum-depleted for 48h and ...

We explored the hypothesis that Serotonin (5HT) receptor signaling, that can be enhanced with 5HT transporter blockade with Fluoxetine (Fluox), in the aortic valve may vary based upon the biomechanical activity of the aortic valve leaflet. We used Affymetrix microarrays to study gene expression prof...

Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of death. However, most of the researches were based on the traditional cell-culturing method. Whereas cells of lung are subjected to the mechanical forces periodically while breathing. In the present study, we applied cyclic stretch to stimulate the continuo...

Time-course of gene profiles indicate that gene expression changing in cyclic stretch are related to cell adhesion and MAPK signaling. Gene expression changing by uniaxiali stretch was studied in a time course assay within 1.5 hour. Six time points (0, 10, 20, 30, 60, 90 min) were triplicated

Alveolar epithalial cells (A549) were used as a model of pulmonary parenchymal cell activation to quiery gene expression profile of activation with either cyclic stretch (20% elongation), TNF (20 ng/ml), LPS (1 mcg/ml) or TNF+STRETCH at both 1 and 4 hrs.

AVICs were exposed to cyclic stretch to examine the role of mechanical stimuli on gene expression AVICs cultured on collagen 1 coated Bioflex were exposed to 14% stretch at 1 hz or static conditions using a Flexcell-5000 14% stretch was the experimental condition while the static condition was the c...

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a catastrophic form of acute lung injury (ALI). The necessity for mechanical ventilation (MV) renders patients at risk for ventilator induced lung injury (VILI). Exposure to repetitive cyclic stretch (CS) and/or over-inflation exacerbates injury. Reducin...

Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) respond to biomechanical stretch with specific changes in gene expression which govern the phenotype of these cells. The mechanotransducer zyxin is a potential candidate for regulating the expression of such genes. Using microarrays, we compared stretch-induced ...
