Experimental aortic intimal thickening. II. Endothelialization and permeability.

W S Webster, S P Bishop, J C Geer

    The American Journal of Pathology
    |August 1, 1974
    PubMed
    Summary

    Experimental aortic intimal thickening in rabbits shows increased permeability to macromolecules like HRP and ferritin. This enhanced permeability, particularly for HRP, persists long-term, suggesting endothelial dysfunction in thickened aortic intima.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Biology
    • Pathology
    • Microscopy

    Background:

    • Aortic intimal thickening is a pathological process.
    • Endothelial cell behavior and permeability changes are key to understanding intimal thickening.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate endothelialization and permeability in experimentally induced aortic intimal thickening in rabbits.
    • To assess the passage of macromolecules across thickened aortic intima.

    Main Methods:

    • Induction of aortic intimal thickening using suture placement and electrocautery in rabbits.
    • Scanning electron microscopy to observe endothelial cell morphology and orientation.
    • Aortic permeability studies utilizing horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and ferritin tracers.

    Main Results:

    • Endothelialization of suture-induced lesions completed by 10 days, with initial random orientation and later parallel alignment.
    • Enhanced penetration of HRP and ferritin observed in mature intimal lesions compared to normal aorta.
    • Increased HRP penetration persisted for up to 27 weeks, while ferritin penetration was noted for 3 weeks.

    Conclusions:

    • Experimental aortic intimal thickening leads to increased permeability of the overlying endothelium.
    • The endothelium overlying intimal thickening allows greater passage of macromolecules, suggesting potential implications for circulating substances.
