| Abstract | Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are mobilized from bone marrow to peripheral blood, and contribute to angiogenesis in tissues. In the process EPCs are exposed to the shear stress generated by blood flow and tissue fluid flow. Our previous study showed that shear stress promotes differentiation of EPCs into mature endothelial cells. In this study we investigated whether EPCs differentiate into arterial or venous endothelial cells in response to shear stress. When cultured EPCs derived from human peripheral blood were exposed to controlled levels of shear stress in a flow-loading device, the mRNA levels of the arterial endothelial cell markers ephrinB2, Notch1/3, Hey1/2, and ALK1 increased, but the mRNA levels of the venous endothelial cell markers EphB4 and NRP2 decreased. Both the ephrinB2 increase and the EphB4 decrease were shear-stress- rather than shear-rate-dependent. EphrinB2 protein was increased in shear-stressed EPCs, and the increase in ephrinB2 expression was due to activated transcription and not mRNA stabilization. Deletion analysis of the ephrinB2 promoter indicated that the cis-element (shear stress response element) is present within 106 bp 5' upstream from the transcription initiation site. This region contains the Sp1 consensus sequence, and a mutation in its sequence decreased the basal level of transcription and abolished shear stress-induced ephrinB2 transcription. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays showed that shear stress markedly increased binding of Sp1 to its consensus sequence. These results indicate that shear stress induces differentiation of EPCs into arterial endothelial cells by increasing ephrinB2 expression in EPCs through Sp1 activation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
