Tóm tắt

Vascular functions are regulated not only by chemical mediators, such as hormones, cytokines, and neurotransmitters, but by mechanical hemodynamic forces generated by blood flow and blood pressure. The mechanical force-mediated regulation is based on the ability of vascular cells, including endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells, to recognize fluid mechanical forces, i.e., the shear stress produced by flowing blood and the cyclic strain generated by blood pressure, and to transmit the signals into the cell interior, where they trigger cell responses that involve changes in cell morphology, cell function, and gene expression. Recent studies have revealed that immature cells, such as endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and embryonic stem (ES) cells, as well as adult vascular cells, respond to fluid mechanical forces. Shear stress and cyclic strain promote the proliferation and differentiation of EPCs and ES cells into vascular cells and enhance their ability to form new vessels. Even more recently, attempts have been made to apply fluid mechanical forces to EPCs and ES cells cultured on polymer tubes and develop tissue-engineered blood vessel grafts that have a structure and function similar to that of blood vessels in vivo. This review summarizes the current state of knowledge concerning the mechanobiological responses of stem/progenitor cells and its potential applications to tissue engineering.
