Laminar Shear Stress–Induced GRO mRNA and Protein Expression in Endothelial Cells

Abstract

The present study is the first report that shear stress induced the expression of GRO mRNA and protein in ECs and enhanced the monocyte adhesion on ECs via GRO protein. Further investigations of the functions and participation in atherogenesis of this selected clone may clarify the significance of shear stress on atherogenesis.
