  4. Arterial Endothelial Biopsy Feng L et al. Radiology.1999; 212:655.

  5. Venous Endothelial Biopsy 3 J - wires per each vein access were sequentially inserted through a 20 - gauge angiocath pediatric J - wire Endothelial cells were harvested from a forearm vein by scraping

  6. Advantages of venous vs. arterial endothelial biopsy • Venous endothelial biopsy is less invasive and more relialble • Requires little training and technical expertise • It is a procedure which can be performed repetitively in patients, even in the out-coming patients. • It represent a reliable, minimally invasive approach to monitor the expression of genes in the endothelium over time, and to correlate it with clinical development or progression of vascular disease (i.e. diabetic vascular complications)

Submitted to Circulation

  20. Periodontal Disease Study Protein expression Gene array expression • Selected genes up-regulated in periodontitis patients (n=5) vs. healthy controls (n-4). • Pentraxin-3: member of the pentraxin superfamily (as CRP), expressed in human atherosclerotic lesions, up-regulated in vitro in ECs by oxLDL • PTX-3 Fold change 4.43 • parathyroid hormone-like hormone: pro-inflammatory cytokine • PTH-LH Fold change 10.72 • Nidogen-2 : Fibrous cap • Nid-2 Fold change 7.16

  23. FMD in Young Type 1 Diabetics Early Endothelial Dysfunction • Twenty-six diabetics (23.4 ± 5.8 years) and 36 healthy volunteers (23.1 ± 2.8 years) were recruited. The duration of diabetes was 9.2 ± 5.3 years; metabolic control was moderate (HbA1c 7.6 ± 1.0%) and IMT was normal in both groups. • FMD was significantly impaired in type 1 diabetics (7.13 ± 0.43 vs. 8.77 ± 0.43%; p = 0.002). The FMD grade was associated with diabetes and age. Patients with a good metabolic control (HbA1c ≤ 7.0%) had a better FMD. Conclusion: In type 1 diabetics, even without preclinical or clinical atherosclerosis, endothelial function is already disturbed and can be detected using ultrasonography Hurks R Europ J Vasc Endovasc Surg 2009

  24. Endo PAT 2000: Hearing Heart Disease • At the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. 50% percent of pts.who arrive at ER with heart attacks don't have conventional risk factors," such as high cholesterol or blood pressure and…….."Endothelial function may be the missing link." • The study's senior author is Mayo cardiologist Dr. Amir Lerman • It will become routine at Mayo in the next 2 years • the technology, which involves "listening" to minute vascular functions through sensors attached to a patient's index fingers and interpreting the readings via software. Results are presented on a scale from 1 to 5: Healthy adults score around 3, while a mark below 1.7 raises “red flags” • The EndoPAT was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2003

  26. Endothelial Remodeling Oxidative stress induces senescence of endothelial cells. This is reflected in detachment of endothelial cells or parts of the endothelial cell membrane (endothelial microparticles (EMPs)) Vascular integrity becomes dependent on the incorporation of circulating progenitor cells (EPCs) Deanfield, J. E. et al. Circulation 2007;115:1285-1295

  33. Summary • We esthablishe a new method to isolate ECs from Aorta and Vena Cava • We demonstrated that the veins are the mirror of the arterial site. • Genes participating in EC activation included Fibroblast Growth Factor 1 (Fgf 1), Thrombospondin 1 (Thbs1), Chemokine C-C motif ligand 5 (Ccl5), Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (Tfpi), Chemokine C-C motif ligand 2 (Ccl2), Interleukin beta 1 (Ilb1), and Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (Mmp2) and genes participating in EC injury/apoptosis included Receptor (TNFRSF)-interacting serine-threonine kinase 1 (Ripk1), Ras Homolog Gene Family Member B (Rhob), and Caspase 1 were upregulated in the diabetic mice versus the control mice in both aortic and venous ECs.
