Abstract

Endothelial cells contribute to the development of renal inflammation and have the unique ability to express antigen presentation proteins. Whether increased endothelial mechanical stretch regulates immunological synapse interface proteins remains unknown. We found that antigen presentation proteins and costimulatory proteins on renal endothelial cells are modulated by mechanical stretch in a sex-dependent manner. Our data provide novel insights into the sex-dependent ability of renal endothelial cells to present antigens in response to endothelial mechanical stimuli.
