| Abstract | The secretion of prostacyclin (PGI2) by endothelial cells is regulated by shear stress.Prostaglandin H synthase (PGHS) is considered to be a key limiting enzyme in the synthesis of PGI2from arachidonic acid. Endothelial cells were cultured in the presence of 4, 15, or 25 dyn/cm2shear stress using a parallel plate flow chamber to assess the effect of shear stress on both PGHS isoforms, PGHS-1 and PGHS-2.In cells exposed to 4, 15, or 25 dyn/cm2 shear stress PGHS-1 and PGHS-2 protein levels initially decreased.The decrease was followed by a sustained increase for PGHS-1 but only a transient increase for PGHS-2. The duration of the PGHS-2increase depended on the magnitude of the shear stress. The effect of altering shear stress levels on PGHS protein levels in cellspreconditioned to either 4, 15, or 25 dyn/cm2 shear stress for 48 h was also studied. Changing shear stresslevels effected PGHS-2 but not PGHS-1. Increases in shear stress levels from 4 to 15 or 25 dyn/cm2 caused a decreasein PGHS-2. In contrast, decreases in shear stress levels from 15 or 25 to 4 dyn/cm2 caused PGHS-2 to increase.There was a continual decrease in PGHS-2 when the shear stress was changed from 15 to 25 or 25 to 15 dyn/cm2In summary, the regulation of PGHS-2 by shear stress is dependent upon the magnitude of the shear stress, whereas the regulation of PGHS-1protein levels seems to be independent of the shear stress magnitude. The regulation of PGHS-1 and PGHS-2 protein levels by shear stressindicates that these proteins play an important role in the maintenance of cardiovascular homeostasis as regulators of PGI2production. © 2000 Biomedical Engineering Society.

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.
