Regulation of endothelial barrier function during flow-induced conversion to an arterial phenotype.
OBJECTIVE Flow-induced conversion of endothelial cells into an elongated arterial phenotype requires a coordinated regulation of cell junctions. Here we investigated the effect of acute and chronic flow on junction regulation. METHODS AND RESULTS Using an extended experimental setup that allows analyses of endothelial barrier function under flow conditions, we found a flow-induced upregulatio...
متن کاملRegulation of vascular endothelial barrier function.
The increase in endothelial permeability in response to inflammatory mediators such as alpha-thrombin and histamine is accompanied by cell rounding and interendothelial gap formation, implicating that the predominant transport pathway is a diffusive one [i.e., via cellular junctions (paracellular transport)]. However, the possible contribution by vesicle-mediated transport (i.e., via albumin bi...
متن کاملFlow-induced arterial remodeling relates to endothelial function in the human forearm.
BACKGROUND Chronic changes in blood flow stimulate arterial remodeling, which contributes to the maintenance of vascular homeostasis. Experimental studies suggest that remodeling represents a response to local changes in endothelial shear stress and is nitric oxide-dependent. METHODS AND RESULTS To investigate determinants of outward arterial remodeling in humans, we measured ulnar artery flo...
متن کاملLysophospholipids in the regulation of endothelial barrier function.
SERUM IS KNOWN TO CONTAIN heat-stable and trypsinsensitive bioactive factors that possess diverse biological activities, including promotion of wound healing and tissue regeneration as well as inflammatory processes. To date, some of these factors are identified to be lysophospholipid ligands [i.e., lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P)] that bind with high affinity to a...
متن کاملAdaptive remodeling of internal elastic lamina and endothelial lining during flow-induced arterial enlargement.
Gaps in the internal elastic lamina (IEL) have been observed in arteries exposed to high blood flow. To characterize the nature and consequences of this change, blood flow was increased in the carotid arteries of 56 adult, male, Japanese white rabbits by creating an arteriovenous fistula between the common carotid artery and the external jugular vein. The common carotid artery proximal to the a...
