{"title":"Correlation of permeability with the structure of the endothelial layer of pulmonary artery intimal explants.","authors":"B Meyrick,&nbsp;E A Perkett,&nbsp;T R Harris,&nbsp;K L Brigham","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Changes in vascular permeability are associated with structural damage to endothelial cells. These functional and structural changes can be produced experimentally and examined by using intimal explants from bovine pulmonary artery. Correlation of functional with structural changes allows us to dissect the mechanisms responsible for endothelial damage. We have shown that incubation of intimal explants with histamine causes transient formation of interendothelial dilatations and an increased rate of equilibration of tritiated water and [14C]sucrose across the intimal explant. Exposure to endotoxin also causes interendothelial dilatations but the endothelial damage is more severe than that with histamine, and in vivo experiments show a more prolonged increase in pulmonary vascular permeability. Leukocyte migration has also been suggested to result in a decreased barrier function of the endothelial layer. Experiments with the endothelial layer of intimal explants and separated bovine leukocytes suggest that transendothelial migration may depend on the chemotactic stimulus. Neither granulocyte migration toward zymosan-activated plasma nor lymphocyte migration toward lymphocyte-conditioned medium (RPMI in which lymphocytes were incubated with concanavalin A) leads to detectable increases in explant permeability, but granulocyte migration toward lymphocyte-conditioned medium does result in increased equilibration of [14C]sucrose. Finally, a theoretical model has been used to examine the permeability changes seen for the intimal explants exposed to histamine. The model consists of two compartments with radioactive tracers diffusing across a filter of known permeability. Such a model gives good agreement with data obtained in intact sheep, indicating that mathematical models allow quantitative estimates of barrier function in intimal explants that compare favorably with in vivo data.</p>","PeriodicalId":12183,"journal":{"name":"Federation proceedings","volume":"46 8","pages":"2516-20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"14424726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Useful modeling is now possible with biological laboratory microcomputers with which experimenters feel comfortable. Artificial intelligence (AI) is sufficiently similar to modeling that AI techniques, now becoming usable on microcomputers, are applicable to modeling. Microcomputer and AI applications to physiological system studies with multienzyme models and with kinetic models of isolated enzymes are described. Using an IBM PC microcomputer, we have been able to fit kinetic enzyme models; to extend this process to design kinetic experiments by determining the optimal conditions; and to construct an enzyme (hexokinase) kinetics data base. We have also used a PC to do most of the constructing of complex multienzyme models, initially with small simple BASIC programs; alternative methods with standard spreadsheet or data base programs have been defined. Formulating and solving differential equations in appropriate representational languages, and sensitivity analysis, are soon likely to be feasible with PCs. Much of the modeling process can be stated in terms of AI expert systems, using sets of rules for fitting and evaluating models and designing further experiments. AI techniques also permit critiquing and evaluating the data, experiments, and hypotheses being modeled, and can be extended to supervise the calculations involved.</p>","PeriodicalId":12183,"journal":{"name":"Federation proceedings","volume":"46 8","pages":"2481-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"14425606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We have developed a model of an endothelium cultured on a permeable support and used it to characterize the transendothelial transfer of albumin. Porcine pulmonary artery endothelial cells form a single layer of cells lining the gelatin-impregnated polycarbonate micropore filters, and the cells develop junctional structures similar to endothelial tight junctions observed in vivo. The monolayer resists the flow of electrical current, and the resistance is sensitive to extracellular calcium concentrations. Albumin transfer across the cultured monolayers was found to be asymmetric, and the rate of transfer from interstitium to lumen was greater than that from lumen to interstitium. The asymmetric transfer occurred against a concentration gradient and was abolished by treating the monolayer with NaCN. Increasing albumin concentrations increased the rate of interstitial to luminal transfer, and the process demonstrated saturation at an interstitial albumin concentration of 725 microM. These data point out the usefulness of the in vitro preparation to identify potentially important aspects of transendothelial transport that would be difficult to detect in vivo.</p>","PeriodicalId":12183,"journal":{"name":"Federation proceedings","volume":"46 8","pages":"2506-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"14424724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
