【Abstract】Objective To observe concentration changes of substances including hepatocyte growth factor(HGF),interleukin-6(IL-6),nitric oxide(NO),nitric oxide synthase(NOS) that were secreted by sinusoidal endothelial cells(SECs) in different shear stress and study the effects of shear stress on the secretions of SECs.Methods To establish a hemodynamics equipment and to set up a way to separate and culture SEC. The rats were divided into two groups: the control group (shear stress was 0 dyn/cm2) and study group. Study group was divided into three subgroups according to shear stress (12, 24 and 48 dyn/cm2). Sinusoidal endothelial cell culture mediums were examined in different shear stress and phases.Results HGF, IL-6, NO and NOS secreted by sinusoidal endothelial cells in different shear stress were distinctive and had positive correlation with shear stress and action time. Conclusion In vitro, the secretion of HGF,IL-6,NO and NOS of sinusoidal endothelial cells are increased along with shear stress rising, which suggests that the rising pressure in portal vein after hepatectomy may result in SECs activated．Activated SECs then secret many cytokines and medias to trigger the regeneration of liver.
