Abstract:
:To understand the role of microtubules and microfilaments in regulating endothelial monolayer integrity and repair, and since microtubules and microfilaments show some co-alignment in endothelial cells, we tested the hypothesis that microtubules organize microfilament distribution. Disruption of microtubules with colchicine in resting confluent aortic endothelial monolayers resulted in disruption of microfilament distribution with a loss of dense peripheral bands, an increase in actin microfilament bundles, and an associated increase of focal adhesion proteins at the periphery of the cells. However, when microfilaments were disrupted with cytochalasin B, microtubule distribution did not change. During the early stages of wound repair of aortic endothelial monolayers, microtubules and microfilaments undergo a sequential series of changes in distribution prior to cell migration. They are initially distributed randomly relative to the wound edge, then align parallel to the wound edge and then elongate perpendicular to the wound edge. When microtubules in wounded cultures were disrupted, dense peripheral bands and lamellipodia formation were lost with increases in central stress fibers. However, following microfilament disruption, microtubule redistribution was not disrupted and the microtubules elongated perpendicular to the wound edge similar to non-treated cultures. Microtubules may organize independently of microfilaments while microfilaments require microtubules to maintain normal organization in confluent and repairing aortic endothelial monolayers.
