Abstract Aims: Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) play an important role in postnatal angiogenesis and neovascularization. Previous studies have revealed shear stress could accelerate EPC proliferation, differentiation, migration and so on, which contribute to postnatal angiogenesis and neovascularization. Moreover, some studies indicate that autophagy actively participates angiogenesis by affecting EPC migration and differentiation. Here, we try to elucidate the possible roles of autophagy of EPC differentiation induced by shear stress. Methods and Results: EPCs were exposed to shear stress (12 dyne/cm2). And then the expression of autophagy markers, such as LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ, P62andATG5, were analyzed using Western blot. The results have shown that… More >
