This finding links a cytokine storm directly to capillary leak, and aggravation of the adult respiratory syndrome (ARDS) picture that advanced COVID-19 presents.33,47 The deranged balance in the prothrombotic/antithrombotic properties of the endothelium can certainly contribute to thrombosis in situ in the pulmonary vasculature, as occurs in COVID-19.48 Impaired gateway function of the endothelium for traversal of leucocytes into tissues clearly participates in pneumonitis. , Yang L , Soares MP , Vromman A Perspective: This autopsy series outlines three distinctive findings among patients who died from COVID-19: 1) severe endothelial injury with intracellular severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus and disrupted cell membranes, 2) widespread vascular thrombosis with microangiopathy and occlusion of alveolar capillaries, and 3) significantly higher new vessel … , Di A Possible Correlations between Atherosclerosis, Acute Coronary Syndromes and COVID-19.

In between the brain and distal lower extremities, thromboses can occur in all arterial beds within the microvasculature, including that of the coronary circulation, and that of the kidneys. , Haverich A , Edler C Integrins associated with the endothelial surface also participate in these adhesive interactions and furnish cognate ligands for the adhesion molecules.25 Once tightly bound to the endothelial surface, chemoattractant cytokines of various classes can beckon the bound cells to traverse the endothelial monolayer and enter tissues where they can combat invaders or contribute to tissue repair.26. , Zhou J Franck G Background Cerebral microhaemorrhages are increasingly being recognised as a complication of COVID-19. , Moore EE Tel: +1 617 525-4383, Fax: +1 617 525 4400, Email: Search for other works by this author on: Heart Division, Royal Brompton & Harefield Hospital and National Heart and Lung Institute, Evolving functions of endothelial cells in inflammation, The active roles of cells of the blood vessel wall in health and disease, Thrombo-inflammation in cardiovascular disease: an expert consensus document from the Third Maastricht Consensus Conference on Thrombosis, Tissue factor in cardiovascular diseases: molecular mechanisms and clinical implications, The endothelial cell ecto-ADPase responsible for inhibition of platelet function is CD39, Different interactions of platelets with arterial and venous coronary bypass vessels, Regulation of murine type 1 plasminogen activator inhibitor gene expression, Cultured bovine endothelial cells produce both urokinase and tissue-type plasminogen activators, Intertwining of thrombosis and inflammation in atherosclerosis, Neutrophil extracellular traps induce endothelial cell activation and tissue factor production through interleukin-1α and cathepsin G, The P-selectin, tissue factor, coagulation triad, The Weibel–Palade body: the storage granule for von Willebrand factor and P-selectin, Endothelium-dependent contractions to acetylcholine in the aorta of the spontaneously hypertensive rat, Endothelium-derived relaxing factor: discovery, early studies, and identification as nitric oxide (Nobel Lecture), Nobel lecture.

J Clin Med. Alterations in endothelial thrombotic/fibrinolytic balance can predispose to thrombosis not only in the pulmonary circulation but also in peripheral veins and arteries of the cerebral circulation, causing unheralded strokes in apparently healthy young people and doubtless contributing to the local and patchy embarrassment of blood flow in ‘COVID toes’ that probably represent microvascular dysfunction with tissue ischaemia. , Leopold JA , Massberg S , Koenen R , Zhong M , Laenger F , Bachschmid M , Oltolini C , Libby P.

A motley of studies are looking at ways to restore endothelial integrity in COVID-19 patients using various agents, including P-selectin blockers.Targeting the complement cascade—an inflammatory pathway that causes endothelial dysfunction—is another approach in clinical testing, with one exploratory Phase 2 trial recently … 2020 Sep 30;21(3):339-344. doi: 10.31083/j.rcm.2020.03.131. , Coenen D The interplay of the endothelium with leucocyte mediators of innate and adaptive immunity depends on a series of leucocyte adhesion molecules expressed at negligible levels under physiological circumstances. Sloughing of endothelial cells uncovers the thrombogenic basement membrane. When subjected to normal laminar shear stress, the endothelium produces superoxide dismutase that scavenges the important reactive oxygen species O2–.24 The endothelial cell can also express glutathione peroxidases that can mitigate oxidative stress.27 Likewise, haem oxygenase provides another mechanism by which the endothelial cell can resist local oxidative stress.28,29 In contrast, when stimulated by proinflammatory cytokines and other agonists, the endothelial cell can mobilize NADPH oxidases that generate superoxide anions, contributing to local oxidative stress.30 As with other beneficial properties, the endothelium can also contribute to disease through impaired antioxidant defences or actual generation of reactive oxygen species, as is the case in hypertension,31 hyperlipidaemia, and diabetes,32 among other cardiovascular conditions. The vascular endothelium provides the crucial interface between the blood compartment and tissues. , Schröder AS Endothelial injury and thrombosis in COVID-19. , Fu B , Gockman K Scientists are finding similar blood clots and endothelial issues across the body. , Pfefferle S 2020 Oct 31;12(11):3361. doi: 10.3390/nu12113361. , Franck G In another New England Journal of … “This is actually a disease of the endothelium,” he says. , Eaton JW , Syrigos K, Coronavirus uses the angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) endothelium receptor, as an entry cell point. , Gaston AT The pivotal roles of these proinflammatory mediators in host defences render these initial results plausible and promising. , Schoenborn M , Shi H The novel coronavirus triggers a condition seen in other cardiovascular diseases called endothelial dysfunction. Keywords: Libby P , Skepper JN The endothelium displays a tightly regulated palette of functions that control vasomotion, inflammation, oxidative stress, vascular permeability, and structure.2 The endothelial cells also provide a crucial interface in host defences, forming the front line of encounter with bloodborne pathogens, thus sensing danger threatening the organism in a concerted fashion, sending early warning signals of infection, invasion, or injury.3 While these functions participate in the moment-to-moment regulation of the circulation and coordinate many host defence mechanisms, they can also contribute to disease when their usually homeostatic and defensive functions over-reach and turn against the host (Figure 1, middle and right). , Loste A , Kanonidis I He says that while COVID-19 can certainly cause breathing problems, he doesn’t think it’s just a lung disease. The endothelial surface bears thrombomodulin, which binds thrombin and stimulates the protein C–protein S anticoagulant axis.1,3 The endothelial cell can also express a tissue factor pathway inhibitor that can antagonize triggering of thrombosis by the potent procoagulant protein tissue factor.7. , Frings D , Yost CC , Gargalianos P , Song X , Varga Z It produces protean manifestations ranging from head to toe, wreaking seemingly indiscriminate havoc on multiple organ systems including the lungs, heart, brain, kidney, and vasculature.

Zuo Y , Franck G , Gygi D Downstream of IL-1, antibodies that interfere with IL-6 signalling have also shown signs of benefit in some but not all preliminary studies, although this as well as other anticytokine therapies may entail an increased risk of superinfection.59,60 Other anti-IL-6 strategies also warrant consideration.61 Upon inflammatory stimulation, vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells produce large amounts of IL-6; thus, blocking signalling of this distal mediator can limit local vascular amplification of inflammatory responses, including in the lung. All authors declare no conflicts of interest. , Cheng X , Crijns HJGM , Lauring AS , Reitsma PH They can express adhesion molecules that attract leucocytes and chemokines that direct their migration into the subendothelial space.
