Endothelium is thin layer of cells which lies the interior surface of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels
Cells which form endothelium are called endothelial cells (EC’s)
Mesodermal in origin
It forms an interface between circulating blood/lymph in the lumen and rest of the vessel wall
Most quiescent & genetically stable cells of the body- turnover time usually 100 days

HISTORY Endothelium- 1st described by Virchow in capillaries
as a simple membrane with flattened nuclei
Swiss Anatomist Wilhelm His- introduced the term “endothelium”
Waldayer -suggested the term restricting to those cells that make up the innermost layer of blood vessels and lymph vessels & posterior lining of cornea
1st pro-angiogenic factor (bFGF)- purified in 1984 from tumor cells by Sching & Klagsbrun

Earliest blood vessels develop from Blood islands (insulae sanguineae) which appear in mesoderm surrounding the wall of the yolk sac at 3 weeks of development
![Page 12: Endothelial cell in health & disease seminar](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032620/55ce4dacbb61eb5e528b4602/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Centre of blood islands form
Hematopoeitic stem cells ( Precursor of all blood cells)
Peripheral hemangioblasts form
Mesodermal cells
HEMANGIOBLAST
ANGIOBLAST(Precursor of blood vessels
FGF- 2

![Page 13: Endothelial cell in health & disease seminar](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032620/55ce4dacbb61eb5e528b4602/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Angioblasts proliferate and eventually induced to form EC’s (by VEGF, secreted by surrounding mesoderm cells)
Once process of vasculogenesis estalishes a primary vascular bed, additional vasculature is added by angiogenesis, the sprouting of new vessels (by VEGF)
Maturation & modeling of the vasculature is regulated by other GF’s ( PDGF, TGF-b )

STRUCTURE Epithelial lining of the vascular system
Almost always Simple squamous epithelium
EC’s are very flat and elongate, have central nucleus, thickness is maximum at the level of nucleus(2-3 µm), 10-20 µm in diameter
Elsewhere-thinner and laminar; in capillaries as thin as 0.2 µm
Elongated in the direction of the blood flow, especially in arteries
![Page 25: Endothelial cell in health & disease seminar](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032620/55ce4dacbb61eb5e528b4602/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Cytoplasm is relatively simple with few organelles; mostly concentrated in the perinuclear zone
At ultra structural level, they have few characteristic organelle
e.g.1) transcytotic/ pinocytotic vesicle 2) caveole 3) Weibel-Palade body

TRANSCYTOTIC VESICLE :
- in all ECs but particularly present in exchange vessels - shuttle small amount of extracellular fluid or blood plasma across the endothelial cytoplasm
-facilitates bulk exchange of dissolved gases, metabolites and nutrients -E.g. in the lung capillaries where there is very efficient movement of gases (carbon dioxide, oxygen and anaesthetics etc).
![Page 27: Endothelial cell in health & disease seminar](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032620/55ce4dacbb61eb5e528b4602/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
CAVEOLE :
- special type of transcytotic vesicle
- typical in vessels of smooth muscle cells
- vesicular invagination of cell surface
- associated with receptors, enzymes and ion channels
![Page 28: Endothelial cell in health & disease seminar](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032620/55ce4dacbb61eb5e528b4602/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
WEIBEL-PALADE BODY :
-also known as rod-shaped (micro) tubulated bodies

ENDOTHELIAL HETEROGEINITY
EC’s exhibit different phenotype- both in structure & function
heterogeneity is linked to both intrinsic, i.e., genetic factor, and extrinsic factors
Structural heterogeneity- obtained following electron microscopy observations where differences in intercellular junctions led to the classification of-
# continuous endothelium # fenestrated endothelium # discontinuous endothelium
![Page 34: Endothelial cell in health & disease seminar](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032620/55ce4dacbb61eb5e528b4602/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Specialized EC’s of post capillary venules
plump cuboidal morphology, have large no. of lymphocytes within their walls, basal lamina is continuous, 7-30µm
A) High Endothelial Venules (HEV)-
HEVs are found in all secondary lymphoid organs except spleen
HEVs enable lymphocytes to move in and out of the lymph nodes from the circulatory system
HEV-expresses addressins (specific adhesion molecules) eg CD34 Mad CAM1
Attaches to L-selectin on Lymphocytes
![Page 36: Endothelial cell in health & disease seminar](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032620/55ce4dacbb61eb5e528b4602/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
BLOOD BRAIN BARRIER:BBB-
It is highly selective permeability barrier that prevent the entry of lipid insoluble substances to enter brain, SC & peripheral nerve
BBB is formed by capillary EC’s which are connected by tight junctions & relative lack of transcytotic vesicle
Tightness of barrier depends upon the close apposition of astrocytes (astrocyte cell projections surround the EC’s of BBB)
Circumventricular organs lack it.
![Page 37: Endothelial cell in health & disease seminar](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032620/55ce4dacbb61eb5e528b4602/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
LUNG : respiratory membrane

CLINICAL ASSESSMENT OF ENDOTHELIAL FUNCTION
by both invasively and non- invasively
involves evaluating measure of endothelial cell behavior in vivo viz endothelium dependent vasodilatation
done using either pharmacological or mechanical agonist that stimulates endothelium to release effector molecules that alter underlying SM cell tone.
![Page 43: Endothelial cell in health & disease seminar](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032620/55ce4dacbb61eb5e528b4602/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
INVASIVE PROCEDURE :
agonist that stimulate release of endothelial NO is used e.g. acetyl choline & methacholine (short lived rapidly acting )
intracoronary infusion is given
Change in coronary diameter is measured
![Page 44: Endothelial cell in health & disease seminar](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032620/55ce4dacbb61eb5e528b4602/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
NON- INVASIVE PROCEDURE :
Assessed in the forearm circulation
Brachial artery blood flow is occluded with a BP cuff
Then cuff is deflated
change in blood flow and diameter is measured ultrasonographically
depends upon - -shear stress-dependent changes in endothelial release of NO following restoration of blood flow & -the effect of transient adenosine released from ischemic tissue.
![Page 45: Endothelial cell in health & disease seminar](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032620/55ce4dacbb61eb5e528b4602/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
RESULTS:
Normally the change is approx. 10%
Endothelial dysfunction( ED) is defined by- smaller change & in extreme cases ,a paradoxical vasoconstriction effect is also seen.
Occurs due to direct effect of cholinergic agonist on vascular SMC
ED seen in pat with atherosclerosis & risk factors(HTN, ↑cholesterolemia, DM, smoking etc.)

ENDOTHELIUM AS AN ORGAN
1-2 trillion EC’s, forming an almost 1.5 kgs organ
Uniquely contains Weibel-palade bodies (stores vWF)
Not only a permeability barrier, also multifunctional paracrine & endocrine organ
Involved in- immune response, growth regulation, coagulation production of extracellular matrix components modulator of blood flow & blood vessel tone

ROLE IN DISEASE
Oxidative Stress leads to Endothelial dysfunction (ED)
ED- 1) decreased NO
2) increased Endothelin ( ET-1 binds to Endothelin A and B receptors in pulmonary vascular bed- potent vasoconstrictor)
It is also a physiological process
Takes place gradually by age and menopause.

Nicotine- opens up intercellular junction & allow large molecules to pass through the wall
Such toxins can potentiate degenerative changes in the blood vessels & lead to vascular disease
Prolonged( years ) smoking of one pack of cigarettes daily or more –daily, increase death rate from IHD by 200%
Smoking cessation decreases that risk substantially

ENDOTHELIUM & STROKE
Production of EDCF- counteracts the normal dilator effect of NO
Reduced activity of NO synthase
Presence of Hemoglobin in SAH- # inhibition of NO- vasospasm

TTP & HUS are caused by insult that activates platelets & deposited as thrombi in microcirculation
Superimposition of endothelial injury may further promote platelet micro aggregate formation : initiate or exacerbate
Thrombotic microangiopathies

In disease , EC growth supports metabolic requirement of tumor beyond few mm : growth of primary & metastatic tumor
Several steps= -stimulation of EC -degradation of ECM -proliferation of EC & migration into tumor -Formation of new capillary tubes
Tumor vessels are= -tortuous -dilated, uneven diameter -excessive branching &shunting -lack perivascular cells

ANTIANGIOGENIC THERAPY
Acquired drug résistance of tumor – due to high intrinsic mutation rate -- major cause of treatment failure
But ECs are genetically stable ; ECs apoptosis pathway is intact
EC provides nourishment to many tumor cells; tumor growth dependent on angiogenesis
blockade of a single GF (e.g. VEGF) may inhibit tumor induced vascular growth

von Willebrand disease
vWF required for interaction & adhesion of platelets to ECM
Genetic absence of this factor( AD, rare AR)→von Willebrand disease

EC’s play a vital role in health and integrity of every tissue of the body because
apart from cartilage, every cell lies within a few µm of a capillary
The diffusion limit of oxygen in tissue is only ≈ 100µm,and can not cross blood vessel thicker than that
fine capillaries ( 10-15 µm ) & consist merely of endothelial cells and a very fine basal lamina, thus helps in providing oxygen, nutrients & metabolites.
Summary

adjust their number & arrangement to accommodate local requirement
Thus, they are life-support tissue extending & remodeling the network of blood vessels to enable tissue growth, motion & repair.
Dysfunction of EC has been implicated in virtually every type vascular disease( Atherosclerosis,HTN etc.)
and hence integrity & proper function of EC is
essential for proper organ function and good health.
