A growing body of evidence demonstrates that endothelial cells (ECs) play a prominent role in immune-enhanced pathology seen in dengue virus (DENV) infection that might contribute to vascular permeability and hemorrhagic manifestations in severe dengue cases. However, it remains a question of whether DENV infection of ECs directly causes permeability or if extra-endothelial factors such as immune cell activation or antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) are required. In this chapter, we detail the measurement of the transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER), a quantitative technique to measure the integrity of tight junction dynamics in cell culture models of endothelial monolayers and show that DENV infection of ECs does not cause endothelial permeability in vitro.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D002199 Capillary Permeability The property of blood capillary ENDOTHELIUM that allows for the selective exchange of substances between the blood and surrounding tissues and through membranous barriers such as the BLOOD-AIR BARRIER; BLOOD-AQUEOUS BARRIER; BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER; BLOOD-NERVE BARRIER; BLOOD-RETINAL BARRIER; and BLOOD-TESTIS BARRIER. Small lipid-soluble molecules such as carbon dioxide and oxygen move freely by diffusion. Water and water-soluble molecules cannot pass through the endothelial walls and are dependent on microscopic pores. These pores show narrow areas (TIGHT JUNCTIONS) which may limit large molecule movement.

D003715 Dengue An acute febrile disease transmitted by the bite of AEDES mosquitoes infected with DENGUE VIRUS. It is self-limiting and characterized by fever, myalgia, headache, and rash. SEVERE DENGUE is a more virulent form of dengue.

D003716 Dengue Virus A species of the genus FLAVIVIRUS which causes an acute febrile and sometimes hemorrhagic disease in man. Dengue is mosquito-borne and four serotypes are known.

D042783 Endothelial Cells Highly specialized EPITHELIAL CELLS that line the HEART; BLOOD VESSELS; and lymph vessels, forming the ENDOTHELIUM. They are polygonal in shape and joined together by TIGHT JUNCTIONS. The tight junctions allow for variable permeability to specific macromolecules that are transported across the endothelial layer.
