Endothelial injury methods and outcomes. (HUVEC, human umbilical vein endothelial cells; PSGL-1, P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1; Par4, protease-activated receptor 4; TNF-α, tumour necrosis factor alpha; IFN-γ, interferon gamma; CCL2, C-C motif chemokine ligand 2; IL-1β, interleukin-1 beta; ApoE, apolipoprotein E; TF, tissue factor.)
vessel or cell type | injury method | key observations | references |
---|---|---|---|
cremaster arteriole | laser activation | laser activated endothelial cells trigger thrombus formation; neutrophil slow rolling on thrombus mediated by P-selectin-PSGL-1 | [49] |
cremaster arteriole and HUVEC | laser activation | endothelial activation precedes platelet accumulation; normal fibrin formation observed in Par4-/- mice | [50] |
cremaster arteriole | laser activation | prothrombinase found on activated endothelial cells | [51] |
cremaster arteriole | laser activation | neutrophils contain and express tissue factor at the site of laser injury; neutrophils accumulated before platelets | [52] |
venule | TNF-α | TNF-α activated endothelial cells recruit neutrophils; platelets bind adherent neutrophils rather than endothelium | [49] |
artery and HUVEC | TNF-α and IFN-γ | fractalkine causes degranulation, activation, and expression of platelet P-selectin on adherent platelets, mediating neutrophil recruitment | [53] |
HUVEC | TNF-α | endothelial TF drives fibrin deposition and coagulation; upregulated ICAM can be targeted for delivering recombinant thrombomodulin to inflamed cells | [47] |
cremaster arteriole | CCL2, TNF-α, IL-1β, or IFN-γ | platelets guide neutrophils to extravasation points via P-selectin-PSGL-1 and CD40/CD40 L | [54] |
artery and HUVEC | ApoE-/- mice | increased endothelial stiffness causes enhanced leucocyte transendothelial migration | [55] |
artery | ApoE-/- mice | reduced glycocalyx thickness and increased platelet adhesion occur at bifurcation point | [56] |
artery | ApoE-/- mice | endothelial dysfunction and glycocalyx impairment coincide with endothelial-dependent vasodilation, permeability, and increases in atherosclerotic biomarkers | [4] |
