In clear contrast, PAEC isolated from the same PAH lungs showed no impairments. PAH MVEC gene expression and transcriptional shear activation were not altered but showed significant decreased protein levels (P\u2009=\u20090.02) and disturbed interendothelial localization of the shear sensor platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1). The decreased PECAM-1 levels were caused by caspase-mediated cytoplasmic cleavage but not increased cell apoptosis. Caspase blockade stabilized PECAM-1 levels, restored endothelial shear responsiveness in vitro, and attenuated occlusive vascular remodeling in chronically hypoxic Sugen5416-treated rats modeling severe PAH.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Delayed shear adaptation, which promotes shear-induced endothelial injury, is a newly identified dysfunction specific to the microvascular endothelium in PAH.
