Fig. 4. Shear flow negatively regulates the level and localization of activated
-catenin. Localization of cyclin D1 in control cells (A) and cells exposed to shear stress (B). Localization of
-catenin in control cells (C) and cells exposed to shear stress (D). Localization of dephosphorylated activated
-catenin in control cells (E) and cells exposed to shear stress (F). Lanes 1-4 of the inset in F show a western blot of dephosphorylated
-catenin in the cytoplasmic (lanes 1, 3) and NP-40 pools (lanes 2, 4) before (lanes 1, 2) and after (lanes 3, 4) shear stress. The numbers above the lanes indicate the densitometric ratio of activated
-catenin (static:shear).
