  • 摘要:). Cells and supernatants were collected for infrared Western blot analysis, immunofluorescence staining, nanoparticle tracking analysis and permeability measurements. Helium treatment increased the cortical localisation of F-actin fibers in HUVEC. After 6 hours, helium decreased cellular Caveolin-1 (Cav-1) levels and increased Cav-1 levels in the supernatant. Cell permeability was decreased 6 and 12 hours after helium treatment, and increased levels of Vascular Endothelial - Cadherin (VE-Cadherin) and Connexin 43 (Cx43) were observed. Transfection with Cav-1 siRNA abolished the effects of helium treatment on VE-Cadherin, Cx43 levels and permeability. Supernatant obtained after helium treatment reduced cellular permeability in remote HUVEC, indicating that increased levels of Cav-1 are responsible for the observed alterations. These findings suggest that Cav-1 is secreted after helium exposure in vitro, altering the cytoskeleton and increasing VE-Cadherin and Cx43 expression resulting in decreased permeability in HUVEC.
