Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vascular endothelium lining the inner surface of blood vessels serves as the first interface for circulating blood components to interact with cells of the vascular wall and surrounding extravascular tissues. In addition to regulating blood delivery and perfusion, a major function of vascular endothelia, especially those in exchange microvessels (capillaries and postcapillary venules), is to provide a semipermeable barrier that controls blood–tissue exchange of fluids, nutrients, and metabolic wastes while preventing pathogens or harmful materials in the circulation from entering into tissues. During host defense against infection or tissue injury, endothelial barrier dysfunction occurs as a consequence as well as cause of inflammatory responses. Plasma leakage disturbs fluid homeostasis and impairs tissue oxygenation, a pathophysiological process contributing to multiple organ dysfunction associated with trauma, infection, metabolic disorder, and other forms of disease. In this book, we provide an updated overview of microvascular endothelial barrier structure and function in health and disease. The discussion is initiated with the basic physiological principles of fluid and solute transport across microvascular endothelium, followed by detailed information on endothelial cell–cell and cell–matrix interactions and the experimental techniques that are employed to measure endothelial permeability. Further discussion focuses on the signaling and molecular mechanisms of endothelial barrier responses to various stimulations or drugs, as well as their relevance to several common clinical conditions. Taken together, this book provides a comprehensive analysis of microvascular endothelial cell and molecular pathophysiology. Such information will assist scientists and clinicians in advanced basic and clinical research for improved health care.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The endothelium, a monolayer of endothelial cells, constitutes the inner cellular lining of the blood vessels (arteries, veins and capillaries) and the lymphatic system, and therefore is in direct contact with the blood/lymph and the circulating cells. The endothelium is a major player in the control of blood fluidity, platelet aggregation and vascular tone, a major actor in the regulation of immunology, inflammation and angiogenesis, and an important metabolizing and an endocrine organ. Endothelial cells controls vascular tone, and thereby blood flow, by synthesizing and releasing relaxing and contracting factors such as nitric oxide, metabolites of arachidonic acid via the cyclooxygenases, lipoxygenases and cytochrome P450 pathways, various peptides (endothelin, urotensin, CNP, adrenomedullin, etc.), adenosine, purines, reactive oxygen species and so on. Additionally, endothelial ectoenzymes are required steps in the generation of vasoactive hormones such as angiotensin II. An endothelial dysfunction linked to an imbalance in the synthesis and/or the release of these various endothelial factors may explain the initiation of cardiovascular pathologies (from hypertension to atherosclerosis) or their development and perpetuation.

Download or read book Regulation of VE-cadherin Expression and Dynamic in Endothelial Permeability written by Jagoda Hebda and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: VE-cadherin is a major adhesion molecule composing endothelial adherens junctions (AJ), which ensure selectivity of the endothelial barrier. Stabilization of the VE-cadherin complex at the surface of endothelial cells plays a pivotal role in the maintenance of vascular homeostasis. Conversely, the disorganization or internalisation of VE-cadherin is a frequent consequence of VE-cadherin modifications (e.g phosphorylation), which promotes in turn vascular permeability. In general, vascular leakage can be observed in both physiological and pathological conditions. Indeed, VE-cadherin phosphorylation caused by pro-angiogenic and pro-permeability factors, among which vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is the prototype, occurs during physiological angiogenesis, as well as tumour-associated angiogenesis. Besides, pro-inflammatory molecules, such as interleukin-8 (IL-8) can also participate in the phosphorylation of VE-cadherin and thereby promote vascular permeability. To best characterise VE-cadherin-mediated increase in vascular permeability under physiological VEGF challenge, we notably investigated the molecular interactions between serine (S665) phosphorylated VE-cadherin and the scaffolding molecule [beta]-arrestin. We also studied the distribution of VE-cadherin in brain endothelial cells under pathological conditions, as provided by the secretome of glioblastoma (GB) brain tumour cells. My work allows the identification of a 43 amino-acid sequence within the C-terminus tail of [beta]-arrestin1 (C-tail) that can directly bind to (S665) phosphorylated VE-cadherin and further triggers its internalisation upon VEGF stimulation. Moreover, we demonstrated the unexpected role of [beta]-arrestin1 C-tail in the down-regulation of the VE-cadherin promoter activity, which results in reduction of VE-cadherin RNA and protein levels, thus contributing to the endothelial barrier properties. Furthermore, in order to evaluate the effects of tumour-secreted factors on the hyper-permeability associated with the tumour microenvironment, we explored the composition and function of the GB secretome on brain endothelial cells. We found that abundant secretion of IL-8 by GB cells causes VE-cadherin-mediated endothelial junction disorganization. Moreover, IL-8 promotes both brain endothelial cell permeability and tubulogenesis. In conclusion, we established a new role for [beta]-arrestin1 in the control of VE-cadherin-based junctions in human endothelial cells. Likewise, we demonstrated that tumour cell-released IL-8 chemokine provokes VE-cadherin-dependent junction remodelling and thereby increases the permeability of human brain endothelial cells. Our results reinforce the central role of VE-cadherin in the modulation of the vascular barrier function in physiological and pathological conditions.

Download or read book Regulation of Vascular and Lymphatic Endothelial Barrier Function by Sphingosine-1-phosphate written by Jacqueline Bellaci and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Endothelial cells play an important role in maintaining homeostasis, and disruption of the endothelial barrier have been linked to a number of different pathologies, including cancer metastasis. The vascular endothelial barrier is known to be regulated by a variety of factors, including sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), a bioactive lipid metabolite, which has been shown to improve barrier function. However, most studies to date have been focused on the vascular endothelium, and the regulation of the lymphatic endothelial barrier has not been thoroughly investigated. We found that prior to any stimulation the lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) had a lower trans-endothelial resistance (TER) in comparison to vascular endothelial cells (VECs). LECs were more sensitive to stimulation with S1P, asthey displayed a maximal increase in TER with 500 nM S1P, in comparison to VECs which showed a maximal increase in TER with 1 [micro]M S1P. Additionally, the disruption of the endothelial barrier by thrombin, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and co-culture with cancer cells occurred more rapidly for LECs than for VECs. These results indicate that the vascular and lymphatic endothelial barriers are distinct and stimulation with a variety of agonists results in differential effects.

Download or read book Extracellular ATP and adenosine as regulators of endothelial cell function written by Evgenia Gerasimovskaya and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-04-26 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extracellular purines and pyrimidines (ATP, ADP, UTP and adenosine) are released into the extracellular milieu in response to a variety of stress conditions and act as important regulators of vascular homeostasis. This new book is uniquely focused on the signaling actions of extracellular purines in endothelial cells and the crucial role of extracellular purines in regulation of angiogenesis, vascular tone, cell permeability, wound healing, inflammation and cell-to-cell communication. This book examines the responses of endothelial cells, originating from various tissues (such as cornea, pancreas and uterus), to extracellular nucleotides and adenosine under physiological and pathological conditions, i.e. pregnancy, hypoxia, hypertension, inflammation and diabetes. In the book’s 12 chapters, the role of purinergic signaling in endothelium-dependent tissue perfusion, regulation of endothelial barrier function, and angiogenesis are discussed. The mechanisms of ATP release and its role in intercellular communication are also presented. In addition, the book provides the most up to date mechanisms of extracellular nucleotide metabolism by purine-converting ecto-enzymes and their contribution to purinergic signaling in endothelial cells originating from various vascular beds. This book is a valuable resource for biomedical research scientists, clinical scientists, graduate students and health science professionals interested in the mechanisms of extracellular purine function in endothelial cells under physiologic and pathologic conditions.
