Abstract excerpt
Acute cessation of flow (ischemia) leads to depolarization of the endothelial cell (EC) membrane mediated by K(ATP) channels and followed by production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) from NADPH oxidase. We postulated that ROS are a signal for initiating EC proliferation associated with the loss of shear stress. Flow cytometry was used to identify proliferating CD31-positive pulmonary microvascular endothelial...
