Effect of flow direction on the morphological responses of cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells

The effect of flow direction on the morphology of cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells is studied. Fully confluent endothelial cells cultured on glass were subjected to a fluid-imposed shear stress of 2 Pa for 20 min and 24 h using a parallel plate flow chamber. Experiments on shear flow exposure were performed for (i) one-way flow, (ii) reciprocating flow with a 30 min interval and (iii) alternating orthogonal flows with a 30 min interval. After flow exposure, the endothelial cells were fixed and F-actin filaments were stained with rhodamine phalloidin. Endothelial cells were observed and photographed by means of a microscope equipped with epifluorescence optics. The shape index (SI) and angle of cell orientation were measured, and F-actin distributions in the cells were statistically studied. Endothelial cells under the one-way flow condition showed marked elongation (SI=0.39±0.16, mean±S.D.) and aligned with the flow direction. In the case of the reciprocating (SI=0.63±0.14) and the alternating orthogonal flows (0.64±0.14), cells did not elongate so strongly as in the case of one-way flow. Although most cells in the reciprocating flow aligned with the flow direction, the cell axes in the alternate orthogonal flow distributed around a mean value of −45.1° with a large S.D. value. Endothelial cells can be expected to recognise the flow direction, and change their shape and F-actin structure.     

Immunolocalization of VEGF, VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2 in lung tissues after acute hemorrhage in rats

In treatment of hypovolemia it is important to reestablish normal tissue hemodynamics after fluid resuscitation. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and VEGF receptors (VEGFR) have been identified as important in many physiological and pathological processes. In this study, we aimed to investigate the histo-physiological effects of VEGF, VEGFR-1 (flt-1) and VEGFR-2 (KDR/flk-1) in resuscitation with different plasma substitutes on lung tissues after acute hemorrhage in rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (n=25) were used in this study. The left femoral vein and artery were cannulated for the administration of volume expanders and for direct measurement of mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) (Power-Lab) and heart rate (HR). Fifteen rats were bled (5 ml/10 min) and infused (5 ml/5 min) with one of three randomly selected fluids: (a) dextran-70 (Macrodex); (b) gelatin (Gelofusine); or (c) physiological saline (PS, 0.9% isotonic saline) solutions. Five rats were bled and none were infused (hypovolemia group) and five rats were untreated as the control group. At the end of the experiment, rats were sacrificed and lung tissues were removed for routine processing and paraffin wax embedding. Sections of tissue were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and selected blocks were then prepared for indirect immunohistochemical labeling for anti-VEGF, anti-VEGFR-1 and anti-VEGFR-2 primary antibodies. It was observed that both MAP and HR decreased parallel to blood withdrawn in this time interval. The MAP and HR were restored in the following periods. In the control rats, positive immunoreactivity of VEGF and its receptors (VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2) were detected in respiratory epithelial cells, respiratory and vascular smooth muscle cells, alveolar cells and endothelial cells. While strong immunoreactivities of VEGF and VEGFR-1 were observed in the hypovolemia group, only moderate immunoreactivity of VEGFR-2 was seen in this group. Moderately strong immunolabeling of VEGF and VEGFR-1 were observed in the dextran-70, gelatin and PS resuscitated groups, whereas only weak immunolabeling of VEGFR-2 was observed in these groups. In summary, the vascular protecting effects of these factors were observed with fluid resuscitation, contributing to the pathophysiological changes seen in hypovolemia.     

Hypoxia and cobalt stimulate vascular endothelial growth factor receptor gene expression in rats

 This study aimed to examine the influence of acute tissue hypo-oxygenation on the expression of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor genes. To this end male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to different hypoxic conditions such as 10% or 8% oxygen, 0.1% carbon monoxide and cobalt chloride (60 mg/kg) for 6 h and the abundance of flt-1, flt-4 and flk-1 mRNA in lungs and livers was determined by RNase protection assay. The relative proportions of flt-1, flt-4 and flk-1 were 10 : 2.5 : 1 and 10 : 10 : 2 in normoxic lungs and livers, respectively. It was found that 8% but not 10% oxygen increased flt-1 mRNA two- to threefold in both organs, whilst flt-4 and flk-1 mRNA were not changed by acute inspiratory hypoxia. Carbon monoxide inhalation also increased flt-1 mRNA but not flt-4 or flk-1 mRNA in both organs. Subcutaneous cobalt administration increased flt-1 mRNA in the livers only, whilst flt-4 and flk-1 mRNA remained unchanged. These findings show that acute tissue hypo-oxygenation is a rather selective stimulus for flt-1 gene expression. The efficiency of the different manoeuvres applied to stimulate flt-1 gene expression is rather similar to the stimulation of erythropoietin gene expression. It is not unreasonable to assume, therefore, that the oxygen-dependent regulation of both genes at the cellular level has significant similarities.

目的: 观察胰岛素和葡萄糖对缺氧血管内皮细胞分泌组织型纤溶酶原激活物(tPA)及其抑制物-1(PAI-1)的影响。 方法:培养人脐静脉内皮细胞株ECV-304。分组实验:(1)常氧组;(2)在缺氧条件下又分为Ⅰ:缺氧对照组;Ⅱ:低浓度组:胰岛素150 mU/L、葡萄糖5.5 mmol/L;Ⅲ:中浓度组:胰岛素450 mU/L、葡萄糖15 mmol/L;Ⅳ:高浓度组:胰岛素900 mU/L、葡萄糖30 mmol/L;Ⅴ:渗透压对照组:甘露醇24.5 mmol/L。取培养4、8、12 h 3个时点,用ELISA法测定细胞培养上清液tPA、PAI-1抗原。结果:缺氧明显增加tPA和PAI-1抗原分泌,tPA/PAI-1值明显增加(P＜0.01)。胰岛素和葡萄糖能够刺激缺氧内皮细胞分泌tPA和PAI-1抗原,在缺氧8 h以内,tPA/PAI-1比值明显增加(P＜0.05)。随缺氧时间的延长,tPA/PAI-1值逐渐下降。结论:胰岛素和葡萄糖能够刺激内皮细胞分泌tPA和PAI-1抗原,在缺氧8 h以内,tPA/PAI-1值升高,纤溶活性升高,有利于局部自发性纤溶的发生。此作用可能是IGK治疗急性心肌梗死的机制之一。     

Isolation and characterization of bovine mammary endothelial cells

Summary The isolation and maintenance in culture of bovine mammary gland endothelial cells is described. The uptake of acetylated low density lipoprotein labeled with 1,1'-dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate was used to purify the endothelial cells by fluorescence-activated cell sorting. The morphology of the purified cells is similar to that of endothelial cells from other species. The isolation of bovine mammary endothelial cells is potentially significant to study the role of the endothelium during inflammatory responses.
