Abstract

Endothelial cells outline the blood vessel wall and contribute pivotally to the regulation of numerous microvascular characteristics such as permeability, vascular tone, vasomotion, or cell-cell interactions. These functions are mediated by second messenger responses and intracellular signal transduction cascades within the endothelial cells. Imaging of endothelial cellular and subcellular responses has yet been limited to studies in isolated or cultured cells, which cannot reflect dynamic physiologic or pathologic cellular interactions in the intact microcirculation. Combining micropuncture and microcatheter approaches with in vitro fluorescence imaging techniques, we have developed methods for imaging endothelial cellular responses of intact pulmonary microvessels in situ.
