Indium-111 oxine labeling is widely used as a marker of endothelial cell attachment to vascular prostheses. The long term effect of labeling human adult endothelial cells (HAECs) with this isotope has not been determined. In this study the viability of labeled HAECs, leakage of isotope from labeled cells and adherence of circulating isotope to fibronectin coated prostheses were investigated over 24 h. The effect of incubation time on labeling efficiency was also assessed. There were significant differences in cell viability between the labeled and unlabeled groups beyond 4 h (p < 0.005, 2-tailed, unpaired t-test). In the control group cell numbers increased by 42% while in the labeled group this had decreased by 20% at 24 h. Spontaneous leakage increased with time but was maximal in the first 2 h. Adherence of circulating isotope to fibronectin coated expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) grafts was minimal but was significantly greater to gelatin impregnated Dacron (GEL-SEAL) beyond 1 hour (p < 0.05). Incubation times greater than 5 minutes during labeling do not significantly improve labeling efficiency, and may contribute to toxicity by prolonging exposure to oxine. Indium-111 oxine labeling of HAECs is a suitable technique for acute studies of endothelial cell kinetics up to 4 h, but its use in chronic studies may lead to significant underestimations of cell retention.
