Three-dimensional ultrastructure of capillary endothelial glycocalyx under normal and experimental endotoxemic conditions
BACKGROUND Sugar-protein glycocalyx coats healthy endothelium, but its ultrastructure is not well described. Our aim was to determine the three-dimensional ultrastructure of capillary endothelial glycocalyx in the heart, kidney, and liver, where capillaries are, respectively, continuous, fenestrated, and sinusoidal. METHODS Tissue samples were processed with lanthanum-containing alkaline fixa...
متن کاملAdenosine A3 receptor activation modulates the capillary endothelial glycocalyx.
The endothelial glycocalyx is a dynamic extracellular matrix composed of cell surface proteoglycans, glycoproteins, and adsorbed serum proteins that has been implicated in the regulation and modulation of capillary tube hematocrit, permeability, and hemostasis. High tissue adenosine levels have been shown to adversely affect microvascular function and tissue survival after an ischemic episode, ...
متن کاملThe endothelial glycocalyx
Once thought to be a structure of small size and uncertain significance, the endothelial glycocalyx is now known to be an important regulator of endothelial function. Studies of the systemic vasculature have demonstrated that the glycocalyx forms a substantial in vivo endothelial surface layer (ESL) critical to inflammation, barrier function, and mechanotransduction. The pulmonary ESL is signif...
متن کاملMicrovascular and capillary perfusion following glycocalyx degradation.
Systemic parameters and microvascular and capillary hemodynamics were studied in the hamster window chamber model before and after hyaluronan degradation by intravenous injection of Streptomyces hyaluronidase (100 units, 40-50 U/ml plasma). Glycocalyx permeation was estimated using fluorescent markers of different molecular size (40, 70, and 2,000 kDa), and electrical charge. Systemic parameter...
متن کاملEndothelial Glycocalyx and Cardiopulmonary Bypass.
On the outer surface of a human cell there is a dense layer of complex carbohydrates called glycocalyx, also referred to as glycans or the sugar coating on the cell surface, which is composed of a complex array of oligosaccharide and polysaccharide glucose chains that are covalently bonded to proteoglycans and lipids bound to the cell membrane surface. Studies of an intact endothelial glycocaly...
