Abstract:
Expression of hsp 27 in human umbilical vein endothelial cells exposed to a shear stress was investigated. Using immunostaining, it was concluded that shear stress results in perinuclear translocation of hsp 27. Polymerization of actin microfilaments plays an important role in this process.
