Abstract excerpt
Expression of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) in endothelial cells is modulated by shear stress affecting the organization of the cytoskeleton. The molecular connection between alterations of actin and CTGF expression was investigated in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and a microvascular endothelial cell line. Overexpression of nonpolymerizable monomeric actin R62D interfered with stress...
