HS cleavage blocks shear-induced PECAM-1 tyrosine kinase phosphorylation at 30 min in HUVEC. Heparinase III (1215 mU/mL) was used to cleave HS from HUVEC monolayers 2 h prior to fluid shear stress exposure. (A) PECAM-1 phosphorylation levels were measured using western blotting for total tyrosine phosphorylation (following PECAM-1 immunoprecipitation) and (B) for PECAM-1 specific tyrosine 686 phosphorylation. Full length blots are presented in Supplemental Figure S8. Densitometry values from both phosphorylation types were normalized to PECAM-1 expression in each sample and then normalized to untreated static control levels within each set. From left to right within each set, (A) n = 6, 13, 5, 14 for total tyrosine phosphorylation (B) n = 6, 12, 6, 12 for tyrosine 686 phosphorylation. Results in each graph are averaged from 5 or more independent experiments. *P < 0.05 using one-way ANOVA followed by Sidak’s multiple comparisons test.
