doi: 10.1152/ajpcell.00794.2025
Figure Lengend Snippet: A-B: ADAM17 expression (n=12/condition, including representative blots), ADAM17 activity (n=7-24/condition), and shedding of glypican-1 (n=27-32/condition, including representative blots). C-D: p-eNOS Ser1177 relative to total protein (n=15/condition, including representative blots) and total eNOS (n=4/condition, including representative images, scale bar=40 μm) in response to shear stress (15 dynes/cm 2 , 2 hr and 24 hr, respectively) in cells infected with control or ADAM17-overexpressing adenovirus (ADAM17-OE) for 24 hr. E: siRNA-mediated silencing of glypican-1 impairs the upregulation of eNOS in response to 24 hr shear stress (n=4/condition, including representative images, scale bar=40 μm). The inset depicts the downregulation of surface glypican-1 via siRNA. F: Intraluminal exposure of human omental arteries to active ADAM17-r protein (1 ug/mL) impairs FMD (n=9/condition). The response to SNP remained unchanged (data published in ( 13 )). G: Cleavage of recombinant glypican-1 protein (glypican-1-r, 33.3 μg/mL) by recombinant ADAM17 protein (ADAM17-r, 166.7 μg/mL) in the presence or absence of TAPI-0 in a cell-free based assay following an 8-hr incubation at 37°C (n=5-6/condition, including representative total protein gel). H: Identified ADAM17-dependent cleavage site of glypican-1 based on proteomic analysis performed at the University of Missouri Charles W. Gehrke Proteomics Center. Illustration of the iceLogo cleavage site was adapted with permission from work by Tucher et al. ( 32 ). Data are presented as means ± SE. Two-tailed unpaired t test (A and B). One-way ANOVA (A, G). Two-way ANOVA without (C-E) and with repeated measurements (F). *, # P <0.05 vs. respective controls. § P <0.05 vs. control with shear. $ P <0.05 Main effect of glypican-1 knockdown (E).
Article Snippet: To assess the contribution of glypican-1 to mechanosensation, cells were transfected (Lipofectamine RNAiMAX, Invitrogen, 13778150) with an siRNA against glypican-1 (SR301881CL, OriGene) or a scrambled control (SR30004, OriGene) and exposed to static or shear stress (15 dynes/cm 2 ) conditions for 24 hr using the ibidi flow system described above.
