Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of cyclic strain on the expression, modification, and function of 2 pivotal endothelial tight junction components: occludin and ZO-1. Our findings indicate that cyclic strain modulates the expression and phosphorylation of both proteins with consequences for their association and subcellular localization at the cell-cell border and, ultimately, for endothelial barrier integrity.
