Blood vessels are covered with endothelial cells on their inner surfaces, forming a selective and semipermeable barrier between the blood and the underlying tissue. Many pathological processes, such as inflammation or cancer metastasis, are accompanied by an increased vascular permeability. Progress in live cell imaging techniques has recently revealed that the structure of endothelial cell contacts is constantly reorganized and that endothelial junctions display high heterogeneities at a subcellular level even within one cell. Although it is assumed that this dynamic remodeling is associated with a local change in endothelial barrier function, a direct proof is missing mainly because of a lack of appropriate experimental techniques. Here, we describe a new assay to dynamically measure local endothelial barrier function with a lateral resolution of ∼15μm and a temporal resolution of 1 min. In this setup, fluorescence-labeled molecules are added to the apical compartment of an endothelial monolayer, and the penetration of molecules from the apical to the basal compartment is recorded by total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy utilizing the generated evanescent field. With this technique, we found a remarkable heterogeneity in the local permeability for albumin within confluent endothelial cell layers. In regions with low permeability, stimulation with the proinflammatory agent histamine results in a transient increase in paracellular permeability. The effect showed a high variability along the contact of one individual cell, indicating a local regulation of endothelial barrier function. In regions with high basal permeability, histamine had no obvious effect. In contrast, the barrier-enhancing drug forskolin reduces the permeability for albumin and dextran uniformly along the cell junctions. Because this new approach can be readily combined with other live cell imaging techniques, it will contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying subcellular junctional reorganization during wound healing, inflammation, and angiogenesis.
