2. Fig. 1
Rhodamine phalloidin staining of F-actin in bovine aortic endothelial cells after 5 days of static (A) or cyclic (B) tension. The cells grown under static conditions displayed a more diffuse distribution of actin. The cells subjected to tension had a more polygonal shape, pseudopods, actin stress fibers, and peripheral vacuoles. (Magnification × 1000.)

4. Fig. 3
Two-dimensional gel analysis of aortic bovine endothelial cells after 5 days of static tension. Endothelial cells were incubated overnight with 35S-methionine, and the cells were harvested as described in the Material and Methods section. The samples (specific activity. 28,414 dpm/μg) were loaded at 300,000 dpm/gel onto a broad-range (pH 3 to 10, acid end to the left) ampholine, first dimension, and 12.5% acrylamide, second dimension. Autoradiographs were prepared from two-dimensional slab gels.

5. Fig. 4
Two-dimensional gel analysis of aortic bovine endothelial cells after 5 days of cyclic tension. Endothelial cells were incubated overnight with 35S-methionine, and the cells were harvested as described in the Material and Methods section. The samples (specific activity. 44,336 dpm/μg) were loaded at 300,000 dpm/gel onto a broad-range (pH 3 to 10, acid end to the left) ampholine, first dimension, and 12.5% acrylamide, second dimension. Autoradiographs were prepared from two-dimensional slab gels. Arrows point to some protein spots that were increased by cyclic stretch.

6. Fig. 5
Comparison of protein spots on two-dimensional gels of static (control) and stretched aortic endothelial cells by a correlation plot. For each protein of the correlated samples, increases and decreases in its relative disintegration-per-minute value are plotted on the x axis for the control experiment and its increase or decrease in relative disintegrations per minute for the stretch experiment are plotted on the y axis. N = number of spots compared; r = correlation coefficient.
