TL;DR
Bovine vascular endothelial cells treated with EDTA, urea, or thrombin underwent a marked, reversible contraction resulting in exposure of the subendothelial extracellular matrix (ECM), and Candida yeasts adhered more to contracted monolayer than to confluent monolayers by preferentially adhering to the ECM.
Abstract
Bovine vascular endothelial cells treated with EDTA, urea, or thrombin underwent a marked, reversible contraction resulting in exposure of the subendothelial extracellular matrix (ECM). Candida yeasts adhered more to contracted monolayers than to confluent monolayers (P less than 0.01) by preferentially adhering to the ECM. Two strains of Candida albicans and one strain of Candida tropicalis bound avidly to exposed ECM, but Pseudomonas aeruginosa did not. However, treatment of endothelium with forskolin, which induces cell shape changes without exposure of the ECM, did not cause an increase in adherence.

Results suggest that fibronectin associated with the endothelial basement membrane may be, in part, responsible for establishing an adhesive gradient that could be important in malignant cell extravasation.

It is suggested that small amounts of thrombin can induce repeated and transient exposure of the subendothelium, a situation believed to be conducive to atherogenesis and thrombosis.

An in vitro model of Candida adherence to and penetration of human endothelial cells and transmission electron microscopy demonstrated that viable or killed Candida organisms were attached to endothelial Cells, were enveloped by membrane processes from the endothelial cell surface, and were incorporated into the endotocyte cells within phagosomes.

Every cell in endothelial sheets from endotoxin-injected animals appeared to be severely damaged, and the most prominent features of the damaged endothelium were distorted nuclei, apparent nuclear vacuolization, and missing nuclei.

These two steps, adherence and penetration, provide direct insight into the earliest events in hematogenous Candida species dissemination and suggest that C. albicans and C. tropicalis yeasts are capable of initiating tissue invasion before germ tubes have had the opportunity to form and participate in the invasive process.

Of the drugs tested, only 5'-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine which interferes with DNA replication failed to induce endothelial cell retraction and increased tumor cell and platelet binding, and the results suggest that certain drug effects on the vascular endothelium can be assessed using the vascularhelial cell monolayer model.

It is unlikely that the growth‐promoting properties of ECM are due to adsorbed cellular factors, since treatment known to destroy the activity of PDGF, and when the ECM produced by BCE cells grown in defined medium supplemented with high‐density lipoprotein, transferrin, and insulin was compared to the ECMs produced by cells growing in the presence of serum‐ or plasma‐supplemented medium, all were found to be equally potent in stimulating cell growth.

The data suggest that the morphology of endothelium in vivo may be regulated by separate or synergistic action of hormone-dependent adenylate cyclase and of inositol phospholipid turnover systems and might be important for maintenance of endothelial monolayer integrity under normal physiological and pathological conditions.

In a rabbit model of concomitant fungemia with C. albicans and bacteremia with P. aeruginosa, no yeasts were recovered from blood cultures despite 100% detection of P. Aerug inosa, suggesting the usual microbiological techniques may be inadequate to detect fungemia when conComitant bacterenmia is present.
