IP3 may mediate endothelial adaptation to shear; extends in vitro mechanotransduction data but leaves open in vivo relevance.
Elevated wall shear stress in cultured endothelial cells triggers an early biphasic increase in inositol trisphosphate, which mediates subsequent cell shape change and orientation.
Prasad et al. (1993) studied this question.
