EC Proliferation as a Function of Shear Stress
| Shear Stress | EC Doubling Time (days, n ± S.E.) |
||
|---|---|---|---|
| hCB-EC | PB-EC(CAD) | HAEC | |
| None (static) | 1.7 ± 0.2† | 3.0 ± 0.7† | 3.0 ± 0.6† |
| 5 dyn/cm2 | 3.4 ± 1.6* | 15.6 ± 7.8 | 31.8 ± 5.5 |
| 15 dyn/cm2 | 6.0 ± 1.5* | 24.0 ± 9.5* | 82.4 ± 26.0 |
p < 0.01 compared with HAEC or/and PB-EC(CAD).
p < 0.05 compared with ECs exposed to shear stress.
