Cultured Endothelial Cells Regulate Platelet Adhesion to their Extracellular Matrix by Regulating its von Willebrand Factor Content

Abstract: SummaryEndothelial cells and their extracellular matrix formed in vitro are often used as a model for subendothelium in studies on platelet-vessel wall interaction. We have characterized the influence of culture conditions of endothelial cells on the formation of extracellular matrix and on the interaction of the matrix with platelets. Passage number, time of confluence, serum concentration and the addition of heparin, growth factors and antibiotics to the culture medium were varied and the extracellular matri… Show more

“…Addition of antibiotics to the culture medium of HUVE cells decreases the amount of von Willebrand factor deposited in the cellular matrix (28). Among the 14 antibiotics examined, only amphotericin, penicillin, streptomycin, and rifamycin had no significant influence on the composition and reactivity of the endothelial cell matrix.…”

“…Cells were removed with 0.1 mol/L NH 4 OH for 15 minutes at room temperature, and subsequently the matrices were washed 3 times with PBS (10 mmol/L phosphate buffer [pH 7.4] and 0.15 mol/L NaCl). The isolation procedure of the ECM did not influence the amount of fibronectin in the ECM, 34 and the matrix is free of cell membrane fragments. 35 …”

“…Triton treatment removes cells effectively by solubilizing lipid membranes, but leaves ECM matrix components such as fibronectin, laminin, von Willebrand factor and collagens intact so that they are able to bind to adhesive receptors which are expressed on cells. [46][47][48] Triplicates of 10 5 cells/well were adhered to rinsed ECM under static conditions in the presence of adhesion blocking or control antibodies (10 g/ml) for 1 h at 37°C. Non-adherent cells were removed and viable adherent cells were quantified using the MTT assay.…”

“…The procedure employed to obtain ECM removes adherent cells and leaves matrix components such as fibronectin, laminin, von Willebrand factor and collagens intact for binding to adhesive receptors expressed on cells. [46][47][48] Although we cannot formally exclude the possibility that Triton X-100 treatment removes potential ligand(s) for CD44v6 and CD44v9 from the matrix selectively and completely, these data collectively suggest that both CD44v6 and CD44v9 are involved in cell-cell interaction, rather than binding to matrix components.…”
