Although fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) participates in the response to vascular injury, the role of cellular deformation in FGF-2 release is incompletely understood. To test the hypothesis that mechanical strain tightly controls FGF-2 release, a novel device was used to impose homogeneous and uniform biaxial strain to human vascular smooth muscle cells. Release of FGF-2 increased with the number of cycles of strain (14%, 1 Hz); 1; 9, and 90 cycles of strain, respectively, released 0.55+/-0.06%, 2.9+/-0.3%, and 5.5+/-1.3% of the total cellular FGF-2 (versus 0.00+/-0.40% for control, P
