Abstract

The integrity of the endothelial layer, the functional aspect of angiogenesis and the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α were investigated in vivo. Human dermal microvascular endothelial cells (HDMEC) were cultured. Cells were fixed with paraformaldehyde and stained for F-actin platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1/PECAM-1, HIF-1α, and nuclei. Endothelial cells seeded on CoCr-alloys exhibited a proinflammatory phenotype. Also, the divergent distribution of HIF-1α indicated additional mechanism in angiogenic impairment.
