Strain reorganizes focal adhesions and cytoskeleton in cultured airway smooth muscle cells.

Experimental cell research - 10 Apr 1997

Smith P G, Garcia R, Kogerman L

Abstract excerpt

Abnormal mechanical stress on pulmonary structures is associated with increased airway resistance and impaired gas exchange as a result of increased airway smooth muscle (ASM) deposition. Using an in vitro system with cultured ASM cells, we have demonstrated that cyclic deformational strain increases ASM cellular myosin and myosin light chain kinase. To determine if these contractile protein increases were...
