Low Shear Stress Regulating Autophagy Mediated by the p38 Mitogen Activated Protein Kinase and p53 Pathways in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells
摘要To the Editor:Autophagy is reported to play a critical role in low shear stress (LSS)-induced endothelial cell injury and the formation of atherosclerotic plaques.[1] However,the corresponding mechanisms remain unclear.[2-8] This study was to investigate the changes and mechanism of LSS-induced autophagy in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs).HUVECs were treated with LSS of 5 dyn/cm2 for 0,5,15,30,and 60 min in a parallel plate flow chamber system.Light chain (LC) Ⅱ,LC3 Ⅰ,and p62,p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and their protein of phosphorylation of p38 (p-p38) were detected with Western blot analysis.The protein levels of p-p53 (ser15) and their distribution were detected by immunofluorescence (IF).
