Pulmonary epithelial cells are exposed to mechanical strain during physiological breathing and mechanical ventilation. Strain regulates pulmonary growth and development and is implicated in volutrauma-induced fibrosis. The mechanisms of strain-induced effects are not well understood. It was hypothesized that mechanical strain induces proliferation of pulmonary epithelial cells and that this is mediated by signals initiated within seconds of strain. To test this hypothesis, human pulmonary adenocarcinoma H441 cells were strained in vitro. Cyclic as well as tonic strain resulted in increased cellular proliferation. Western blot analysis of strained cells demonstrated three newly phosphorylated tyrosine residues within 30 s of strain. Phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases p42/44 increased, electrophoretic mobility shift assay demonstrated activation of transcription factor activating protein-1, and immunohistochemistry demonstrated increased phosphorylation of c-jun in response to strain. The tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein blocked the strain-induced proliferation. We conclude that strain induces proliferation in pulmonary epithelial cells and that tyrosine kinase activity is necessary to signal the proliferative response to mechanical strain.
