The 60-kDa endothelial cell surface albumin-binding glycoprotein (gp60) is postulated to be a docking site for albumin that mediates the uptake of albumin and its transport in cultured microvessel endothelial cells. In the present study, we used an isolated Krebs-perfused rat lung preparation to address the in vivo role of gp60 in mediating albumin uptake and transport. Addition of primary anti-gp60 antibody to the perfusate followed by the secondary antibody to cross-link gp60 increased the vessel wall 125I-albumin permeability-surface area (PS) product 2.5-fold without affecting the capillary filtration coefficient (Kf,c; a measure of liquid permeability). In contrast, EDTA (5 mM), which induces interendothelial gap formation, produced parallel increases in both Kf,c and 125I-albumin PS product. Increasing perfusate albumin concentration to >1 g/100 ml (EC50 1.2 g/100 ml) was sufficient to block 125I-albumin PS product, indicating that the perfusate albumin competed with tracer albumin for transendothelial albumin transport. Cross-linking of gp60 in lungs perfused with saturating concentration of albumin resulted in a greater increase in 125I-albumin PS product, indicating that gp60 function was capable of being modulated. These results show that activation of gp60 in pulmonary microvessels induces albumin uptake and its transport through a nonhydraulic pathway that fits with a model of albumin permeability via the transcellular pathway.
