Abstract

Changes in patterns of microfilament distribution were analyzed using cultured porcine aortic endothelial cells under shear flow. Within the elongated endothelial cells after shear flow exposure (20 dyne/cm2, 0-24 h), F-actin filaments were mainly observed as stress fibers. After 24 h exposure, the fluorescence intensity of rhodamine-phalloidin-stained cells was enhanced, indicating the increase in F-actin content. It was suggested that not only F-actin distribution but also the content may be affected by shear stress at the early stage of exposure.
