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 ...

Context: Increased uterine stretch appears to increase the risk of preterm labour, but the mechanism is unknown. Objectives: To identify a targetable mechanism mediating the effect of stretch on human myometrium. Design: Myometrial explants, prepared from biopsies obtained at elective caesarean de...

Chromatin-based functional genomic analyses and genomewide association studies (GWASs) together implicate enhancers as critical elements influencing gene expression and risk for common diseases. Here, we performed systematic chromatin and transcriptome profiling in human pancreatic islets. Integrate...

Neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocytes (NRVCMs) were stretched biaxially (112%/24h) or stimulated with phenylephrine (PE, 50 uM), both resulting in a similar degree of hypertrophy. Unstretched NRVCMs served as negative control. Affymetrix microarray analysis revealed 164 genes more than 2.0-fold up...

Myocardial damage caused for example by cardiac ischemia leads to ventricular volume overload resulting in increased stretch of the remaining myocardium. In adult mammals, these changes trigger an adaptive cardiomyocyte hypertrophic response which, if the damage is extensive, will ultimately lead to...

Mechanical stress is a potent regulator of cell growth, contractility and gene regulation. Abnormal uterine distension during pregnancy increases the risk of preterm birth and likely activates crosstalk between multiple signaling networks with protein phosphorylation playing a critical role. Telomer...

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.
