Abstract

Vascular dysfunction is a hallmark of systemic inflammatory responses such as bacterial sepsis. The luminal surface of the blood vessels is coated with a dense layer of glycans and proteoglycans, collectively known as the glycocalyx. Surface associated glycoproteins of endothelial origin, or derived from pericytes, intravascular leukocytes, and plasma, are other important components of the glycocalyx, constituting a vascular cell surface proteome that is dynamic, tissue-specific, and sensitive to changes in vascular homeostasis, blood infection, and inflammation. Here, we describe an experimental protocol to chemically tag and quantify the vascular cell surface proteome in murine models of bacteremia, in a time-resolved and organ-specific manner. This method facilitates the identification of markers of vascular activation and provides a molecular framework to understand the contribution of vascular dysfunction to the organ pathology of systemic inflammation.
