The tight junction (TJ) is a specialized intercellular structure responsible for the regulation of ionic and macromolecular flux across cell monolayers. Because plasma leakage is believed to occur mainly across the microvasculature, we hypothesized that microvascular endothelial cells (MVEC) may form more intact, regulatable TJ than other endothelial cell (EC) types, allowing further insight into the control of EC permeability. Primary cultures of MVEC monolayers produced transmonolayer electrical resistances (TER) of 120-155 omega.cm2, approximately 10 times that of large-vessel EC. Treatment with tumor necrosis factor and interferon-gamma caused a 50% decrease in the TER and a striking fragmentation of the basal, continuous interendothelial cell zonula occludens-1 protein (ZO-1) distribution determined by immunofluorescence. Fragmentation was inhibited by cytochalasin D, and confocal microscopy demonstrated a colocalization between F actin and ZO-1. These findings suggest that the F actin cytoskeleton plays a central role in endothelial TJ barrier regulation and that dynamic cytoskeletal alterations may primarily control vascular permeability.
