abstract = {Any cell within a tissue is constantly confronted with a
variety of mechanical stimuli. Sensing of these diverse
stimuli plays an important role in cellular regulation.
Besides shear stress, cells of the vascular endothelium are
particularly exposed to a permanent cyclic straining
originating from the interplay of outwards pushing blood
pressure and inwards acting contraction by smooth
musculature. Perpendicular alignment of cells as structural
adaptation to this condition is a basic prerequisite in
order to withstand deformation forces.Here, we combine live
cell approaches with immunocytochemical analyses on single
cell level to closely elucidate the mechanisms of
cytoskeletal realignment to cyclic strain and consolidate
orientation analyses of actin fibres, microtubules (MTs) and
vimentin. We could show that strain‐induced reorientation
takes place for all cytoskeletal systems. However, all
systems are characterized by their own, specific
reorientation time course with actin filaments reorienting
first followed by MTs and finally vimentin. Interestingly,
in all cases, this reorientation was faster than cell body
realignment which argues for an active adaptation mechanism
for all cytoskeletal systems. Upon actin destabilization,
already smallest alterations in actin kinetics massively
hamper cell morphology under strain and therefore overall
reorientation. Depolymerization of MTs just slightly
influences actin reorientation velocity but strongly affects
cell body reorientation.},
