Detail Description: | Western analysis demonstrated that PTEN, a known target of miR-21, was downregulated in HUVECs exposed to USS or transfected with pre-miR-21. Importantly, HUVECs overexpressing miR-21 had decreased apoptosis and increased eNOS phosphorylation and nitric oxide (NO(*)) production. These data demonstrate that shear stress forces regulate the expression of miRNAs in ECs, and that miR-21 influences endothelial biology by decreasing apoptosis and activating the NO(*) pathway. These studies advance our understanding of the mechanisms by which shear stress forces modulate vascular homeostasis. |
The 'First Node' or 'Second Node' option represents the sub-network of interacting entry with the first or second interaction node,
the 'Both the Nodes' option represents the sub-network of interacting entry with both of interaction nodes.
The 'First Neighbour' represents the sub-network of direct interacting with the center node,
the 'Second Neighbour' represents the sub-network of direct or second step interacting with the center node.
Interaction sub-network based on the two nodes of this interaction may help the researchers represents all interacting partners immediately.
