Abstract

PKH26, a fluorescent cell label, and PKH95, a 125 I-radioactive cell label, are both potentially valuable endothelial cell labels because they bind irreversibly within cell membranes. These labels would be particularly well suited to tract transplanted endothelial cells in vivo. However, no previous studies documenting lack of transfer of the label to unlabeled endothelial cells, as well as the effect of the label on endothelial cell function, have been undertaken. The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal method of endothelial cell (EC) labeling with PKH26 and PKH95, whether significant to EC-to-EC transfer of the label occurs, the effects of these labels on EC proliferation and membrane function, and the feasibility of using these labels for long-term quantitative EC tracking in vivo. Canine ECs in confluent monolayers or in cell suspension were labeled by exposure to 1.0 or 5.0 microM PKH26 for 1, 3, or 5 min. Cell viability was determined by trypan blue exclusion. The percentage of cells labeled and their fluorescence intensity were determined in a fluorescent-activated cell sorter (FACS). Effect of the label on cell function was assessed by measuring EC proliferation rates as well as intercellular adhesion mol...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.
