失重或模拟失重条件下细胞骨架调控血管内皮功能的研究进展

Advances in effects of microgravity or simulated microgravity on vascular endothelial cells functions regulated by cytoskeleton

  • 摘要: 随着航空事业的发展,对失重环境下航天员的健康更为关注。最新研究发现,血管内皮细胞对于重力高度敏感,作为血管壁的衬里细胞,具有屏障、物质转移、内分泌等生理功能,在调节血管内环境的稳态中发挥重要作用,然而,失重所致的内皮细胞功能及结构异常的机制目前尚未完全明确。随着对空间生物医学研究的不断深入,发现细胞骨架对重力变化较为敏感,微重力条件下,血管内皮细胞骨架会发生变化,表现为微丝和微管的破坏,进而可导致细胞的增殖、凋亡、信号传导等功能发生变化。本研究就失重或模拟失重条件下细胞骨架调控血管内皮功能的研究进展做一综述。

     

    Abstract: With the development of aviation, the health of astronauts in microgravity has aroused more attention. It has been reported that vascular endothelial cells are highly sensitive to gravity. The endothelium is located in a strategic anatomical position within the blood vessel wall and thereby plays a crucial role in maintaining physiological function, such as the integrity of the vasculature, material transfer, endocrine function and so on. However, the mechanism underlying the changes of endothelial cells function and structure induced by microgravity still remain to be fully elucidated. As the deepening research of aerospace medicine, it has been found that the cytoskeleton is very sensitive to the change of gravity. In microgravity, the vascular endothelial cell cytoskeleton will change, showing as the destruction of microfilament and microtubule, which may result in the changes of cell proliferation, apoptosis and signal transduction function. The progresses in effects of microgravity or simulated microgravity on vascular endothelial cells functions regulated by cytoskeleton are reviewed in this article.
