Abstract

The changes induced on endothelial cells by a long-term exposure to high glucose, a situation that mimics the hyperglycemia of diabetics, have not yet been determined. We compared short- and long-term effects of elevated glucose on macrovascular and microvascular endothelial cells. Endothelial cells were grown in high-glucose media for 24 hours and for 8 weeks. Cell proliferation was evaluated by cell counting, apoptosis and expression of adhesion molecules by flow cytometry; nitric oxide (NO) by measuring the concentration of nitrite/nitrate in the cell supernatant; alpha 2(IV) collagen mRNA and protein by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively. The adhesion of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) to endothelial cells was evaluated by adhesion assay. In some experiments, endothelial cells were preincubated with anti-vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and anti-receptor for advanced glycation end product (RAGE) blocking antibodies. At 24 hours, but not at 8 weeks, high glucose increased endothelial cell proliferation and apoptosis. High glucose did not modify NO synthesis at 24 hours and 8 weeks. Collagen production and expression were increased only afte...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.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
