Fibrin II induces endothelial cell capillary tube formation

The Journal of Cell Biology
D G ChalupowiczJ Martinez

Abstract

We studied the formation of capillary tubes by endothelial cells which were sandwiched between two fibrin gels under serum-free conditions. After formation of the overlying fibrin gel, the endothelial cell monolayer rearranged into an extensive net of capillary tubes. Tube formation was apparent at 5 h and was fully developed by 24 h. The capillary tubes were vacuolated, and both intracellular and intercellular lumina were present. Maximal tube formation was observed with fibrin II (which lacks both fibrinopeptide A and B), minimal tube formation with fibrin I (which lacks only fibrinopeptide A), and complete absence of tube formation with fibrin 325 (which lacks the NH2-terminal beta 15-42 sequence, in addition to fibrinopeptides A and B). The inability of fibrin 325 to stimulate capillary tube formation supports the idea that beta 15-42 plays an important role in this process, and its importance was confirmed by the finding that exogenous soluble beta 15-42 inhibited fibrin II-induced capillary tube formation. This effect was specific for fibrin, since beta 15-42 did not inhibit tube formation by endothelial cells sandwiched between collagen gels. The interaction of the apical surface of the endothelial cell with the overlyin...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
