Popis: | Vessel maturation involves recruitment of mural cells. Laminar shear stress is a major trigger for vessel maturation. However, the molecular mechanisms by which shear stress affects recruitment of pericytes are unclear. MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs, which post-transcriptionally control gene expression. Since shear stress regulates various miRs, we hypothesize that flow-induced miRs inhibit repulsive cues and facilitate mural cell coverage. Laminar shear stress for 72h induces the up-regulation of miR-27b (2.8±0.24-fold vs static, p To determine whether miR-27b controls pericyte recruitment, we tested the effect of endothelial miR-27b on adhesion of pericytes. Overexpression of miR-27b increased the adhesion of pericytes (p Taken together, our data demonstrate that shear stress regulate miR-27b, which targets Ang2 and semaphorins, thereby controlling pericyte adhesion and coverage in vitro and in vivo. |
