The role of aging on endothelial cell-cell junctions and pulmonary microvascular permeability
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Abstract Lung injury leads to pulmonary microvascular endothelial cell (PMVEC) damage, disruption of cell-cell junctions, and increased permeability. Previously, we demonstrated in a mechanical ventilation-induced model of lung injury that aging exacerbated pulmonary microvascular permeability. Based on this, we hypothesized that aging was associated with increased PMVEC barrier dysfunction due to impaired cell-cell junction integrity. PMVEC were isolated from young and aged mice and cultured to confluence in vitro . Barrier function and cell-cell junction integrity were assessed through electric cell-substrate impedance sensing, XPerT permeability assay, immunofluorescence, and western blot analysis. Further studies were conducted to examine alterations in the proteome, markers of inflammation, and actin cytoskeleton organization. To model injurious conditions, PMVEC were stimulated with inflammatory cytokines; permeability and actin cytoskeletal alterations were subsequently assessed. We observed increased basal permeability in PMVEC from aged mice, which was associated with disrupted cell-surface localization of the adherens junction protein, vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin. Protein abundance of VE-cadherin was significantly increased with age; however, levels of the adapter protein, γ -catenin, and the tight junction protein, claudin-5, were decreased. Measures of inflammation, including cytokine expression and cell surface abundance of adhesion molecules, did not differ with age. Alterations in actin cytoskeleton organization, characterized by augmented presence of actin stress fibers, were observed in aged PMVEC. Under inflammatory conditions, permeability and actin stress fiber formation were exacerbated with age. It is concluded that aging predisposes PMVEC to elevated injury, due to inherent deficiencies in cell-cell junctions and barrier function, potentially mediated through altered actin cytoskeleton organization. New and Noteworthy Compared with pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (PMVEC) from young mice, PMVEC isolated from aged mice had higher permeability, which was directly associated with impairments in cell-cell junctions. The higher permeability in aged PMVEC was not associated with augmented inflammatory signaling but was associated with actin cytoskeletal alterations. Following an inflammatory insult, PMVEC from aged mice had further exacerbated permeability. These findings may begin to highlight why older patients exhibit higher mortality during lung injury.

Prédiction machine sur la base complète
Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
