Are there changes of gene expression related to mechanotransduction and stress response under s-µG condition?
Changes in gene expression related to mechanotransduction and stress response have been observed under simulated microgravity (s-µG) conditions. Studies have shown that microgravity affects genes involved in circadian clocks, mechanotransduction pathways, immune response, metabolism, and cell proliferation . Additionally, the response to mechanical stress in living organisms includes upregulation of genes involved in stress response, cuticle development, and signaling pathways such as WNT, TGFβ, AMPK, and Hedgehog signaling . Furthermore, the nuclear architecture and cytoskeleton play a role in mechanotransduction, with alterations in nuclear stiffness and nuclear remodeling influencing gene expression and cell fate . Actin remodeling, regulated by the Rho/Rho-kinase signaling pathway, has been shown to control gene expression in response to mechanical stimuli . These findings suggest that changes in gene expression related to mechanotransduction and stress response occur under s-µG conditions, highlighting the importance of understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in adapting to altered gravitational forces.
