Isolation and longterm culture of human intestinal microvascular endothelial cells.
Microvascular endothelial cells play an important part in inflammation as well as in organ specific leucocyte traffic, and may be functionally different from large vessel endothelium in this respect. This study therefore established a method for isolation and longterm culture of human intestinal microvascular endothelial cells (HIMEC). After dissociation by collagenase/dispase/DNase of mucosal ...
متن کاملRetroviral transformation of cerebral microvascular endothelial cells: macrophage-like and microvascular endothelial cell properties.
We report that L-cell-conditioned medium (LCM) transforms porcine cerebral microvascular (PCMV) endothelial cells into cells with macrophage-like properties. LCM is known to contain both cytokine(s) and the L-cell virus, a murine retrovirus found in the L929 cell and LCM. Our evidence suggests that both LCM cytokine(s) and the L-cell virus are involved in this PCMV endothelial cell transformati...
متن کاملHydraulic conductance of pulmonary microvascular and macrovascular endothelial cell monolayers.
Endothelial cells isolated from pulmonary arteries (RPAEC) and microcirculation (RPMVEC) of rat lungs were grown to confluence on porous filters and mounted on an Ussing-type chamber. Transmembrane pressure (deltaP) was controlled by the reservoir height, and the filtration rate corrected for surface area (J(v)/A) was measured by timing fluid movement in a calibrated micropipette. These paramet...
متن کاملEndothelial cell monolayers as a tool for studying microvascular pathophysiology.
Endothelial cells contribute to a variety of biological responses that facilitate organ function. This critical role of the endothelial cell has resulted in the development of different in vitro models that utilize monolayers of cultured cells to simulate conditions that exist in the intact animal. This review focuses on endothelial cell monolayers as a model system for research on certain path...
متن کاملIntrinsic sex-specific differences in microvascular endothelial cell phosphodiesterases.
The importance of gonadal hormones in the regulation of vascular function has been documented. An alternate and essential contribution of the sex chromosomes to sex differences in vascular function is poorly understood. We reported previously sex differences in microvessel permeability (P(s)) responses to adenosine that were mediated by the cAMP signaling pathway (Wang J, PhD thesis, 2005; Wang...
