    A: Pulmonary endothelial cells (control, n=12; ADAM17-KO, n=14) were assessed for ADAM17 content, which was reduced in the knockout mice. No differences were observed between groups for B : body weight (control, n=28; ADAM17-KO, n=39), C : blood glucose during a glucose tolerance test (control, n=29; ADAM17-KO, n=39), or D : systolic blood pressure (BP) (control, n=28; ADAM17-KO, n=38). ADAM17-KO mice had greater FMD in isolated mesenteric arteries compared to genetic controls. No differences in SNP-induced vasodilation were noted. Vessels were preconstricted with phenylephrine (males, n=31; females, n=20). C. Mice that were ADAM17-KO also had greater glypican-1 content compared to genetic controls (control, n=8; ADAM17-KO, n=13). Data are presented as means ± SE. Two-tailed unpaired t test (A and F). Two-way repeated-measures ANOVA (B). *P <0.05 vs. respective controls.

    Neuraminidase, which is elevated in the circulation of individuals with type 2 diabetes, induces an increase in endothelial intracellular Ca 2+ (1). This Ca 2+ increase is likely the stimulus for activation of Anoctamin-6 (ANO6), which flips phosphatidylserine (PS) to the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane (2). The PS head group is negatively charged. Loss of plasma membrane asymmetry by flipped PS causes its interaction with the membrane proximal domain of ADAM17, which presents a cationic PS-binding motif. This interaction causes ADAM17 to bend to the appropriate position for substrate shedding, including mechanosensitive structures such as glypican-1 (3). Loss of glypican-1 likely contributes to impaired shear stress mechanotransduction (4).

This interaction causes ADAM17 to bend to the appropriate position for substrate shedding, including mechanosensitive structures such as glypican-1 (3). Loss of glypican-1 likely contributes to impaired shear stress mechanotransduction (4).

    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.
