Rates of fluid pinocytosis by bovine aortic endothelial cells were measured during various manipulations of growth status in vitro. Sparsely seeded cultures grew exponentially until a confluent monolayer was formed, at which time growth slowed. This change in growth rate coincided with a decline in the rate of pinocytosis to about one‐third that in the growing cultures. During the subsequent attainment of maximal cell density in the confluent monolayer, the pinocytic rate remained constant. There was close correlation between 3H‐thymidine labelling indices, as measured by autoradiography, and the rates of pinocytosis. Mechanical “wounding” of the confluent monolayer resulted in cell migration and proliferation. Twenty‐four hours after “wounding,” rates of pinocytosis per mg. cell protein were significantly enhanced. When regeneration of the monolayer was blocked by cytochalasin B, pinocytosis remained at the same rate as in the uninjured, confluent monolayer. These experiments support, and extend to endothelium, earlier observations that in growing cells pinocytosis proceeds at a higher rate than in non‐growing, quiescent cells. Furthermore, they raise the possibility that the transendothelial transport of macromolecules such as lipoproteins by receptor‐in‐dependent fluid pinocytosis in vivo may be altered by the growth status of the endothelium.
