Key result
Laminar shear stress activates the NOX2-p47phox complex to promote NO production, whereas oscillatory shear stress activates the NOX1-NOXO1 complex to uncouple eNOS and increase superoxide.

Hypothesis-generating for shear stress effects on endothelial superoxide; leaves open any clinical role in atherosclerosis.
This study demonstrates that different shear stresses activate distinct NADPH oxidase complexes in endothelial cells, providing a mechanistic basis for the vasoprotective effects of laminar flow and the atherogenic effects of oscillatory flow.
Siu et al. (2016) studied Endothelial redox responses. Laminar shear stress (LSS) and Oscillatory shear stress (OSS) was evaluated on Superoxide and NO production, eNOS phosphorylation. Laminar shear stress activates the NOX2-p47phox complex to promote NO production, whereas oscillatory shear stress activates the NOX1-NOXO1 complex to uncouple eNOS and increase superoxide.
