Fluid shear stress stimulates endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activation and nitric oxide (NO) production through multiple kinases, including protein kinase A (PKA), AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), AKT and Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII). Membrane-associated guanylate kinase (MAGUK) with inverted domain structure-1 (MAGI1) is an adaptor protein that stabilizes epithelial and endothelial cell-cell contacts. The aim of this study was to assess the unknown role of endothelial cell MAGI1 in response to fluid shear stress. We show constitutive expression and co-localization of MAGI1 with vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cadherin) in endothelial cells at cellular junctions under static and laminar flow conditions. Fluid shear stress increases MAGI1 expression. MAGI1 silencing perturbed flow-dependent responses, specifically, Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) expression, endothelial cell alignment, eNOS phosphorylation and NO production. MAGI1 overexpression had opposite effects and induced phosphorylation of PKA, AMPK, and CAMKII. Pharmacological inhibition of PKA and AMPK prevented MAGI1-mediated eNOS phosphorylation. Consistently, MAGI1 silencing and PKA inhibition suppressed the flow-induced NO production. Endothelial cell-specific transgenic expression of MAGI1 induced PKA and eNOS phosphorylation in vivo and increased NO production ex vivo in isolated endothelial cells. In conclusion, we have identified endothelial cell MAGI1 as a previously unrecognized mediator of fluid shear stress-induced and PKA/AMPK dependent eNOS activation and NO production.

Sel endotel melapisi lumen pembuluh darah sehingga menyebabkan paparan langsung aliran darah dan timbul gaya hemodinamik shear stress. Vascular Endothelial (VE) Cadherin merupakan salah satu struktur penghubung antar sel yang berperan mencegah terlepasnya sel endotel dari membran dasar. Paparan glukosa tinggi menyebabkan stress oksidatif sehingga sel endotel mengalami apoptosis dan nekrosis dan terlepas. Penelitian ini bertujuan mempelajari efek paparan glukosa tinggi dan fluid shear stress terhadap morfologi, struktur VE-Cadherin dan densitas sel endotel pada kultur sel endotel HUVECs (Human Vein Endothelial Cells Culture).Metode Penelitian eksperimental laboratorium dengan  metode HUVECs yang dipapar d-glukosa 22 mM selama 7 hari. Shear stress dibangkitkan dengan alat cone and plate 10 dyne/cm2 selama 5, 8, 12 dan 15 menit. Pulasan VE-Cadherin dengan imunohistokimia. Data dianalisis dengan metode statistik. Signifikan pada p<0,05.Hasil Shear stress selama 15 menit menyebabkan perubahan bentuk sel endotel  menjadi lebih panjang dan inti sel lebih pipih. Paparan glukosa tinggi dan fluid shear stress menyebabkan penurunan skor VE-Cadherin dan densitas sel endotel secara signifikan Penurunan skor VE-Cadherin berpengaruh langsung terhadap penurunan densitas sel endotel.Kesimpulan. Paparan glukosa tinggi dan fluid shear stress menyebabkan kerusakan struktur VE-Cadherin sehingga terjadi peningkatan apoptosis dan nekrosis sel endotel.

The role of cadherins and the cadherin-binding cytosolic protein plakoglobin in intercellular adhesion was studied in cultured human umbilical venous endothelial cells exposed to fluid shear stress. Extracellular Ca2+depletion (<10−7 M) caused the disappearance of both cadherins and plakoglobin from junctions, whereas the distribution of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1 (PECAM-1) remained unchanged. Cells stayed fully attached to each other for several hours in low Ca2+ but began to dissociate under flow conditions. At the time of recalcification, vascular endothelial (VE) cadherin and β-catenin became first visible at junctions, followed by plakoglobin with a delay of ∼20 min. Full fluid shear stress stability of the junctions correlated with the time course of the reappearance of plakoglobin. Inhibition of plakoglobin expression by microinjection of antisense oligonucleotides did not interfere with the junctional association of VE-cadherin, PECAM-1, and β-catenin. The plakoglobin-deficient cells remained fully attached to each other under resting conditions but began to dissociate in response to flow. Shear stress-induced junctional dissociation was also observed in cultures of plakoglobin-depleted arterial endothelial cells of the porcine pulmonary trunk. These observations show that interendothelial adhesion under hydrodynamic but not resting conditions requires the junctional location of cadherins associated with plakoglobin. β-Catenin cannot functionally compensate for the junctional loss of plakoglobin, and PECAM-1-mediated adhesion is not sufficient for monolayer integrity under flow.
