Clostridium perfringens type A-induced gas gangrene is characterized by severe myonecrosis, and α-toxin has been revealed to be a major virulence factor involved in the pathogenesis. However, the detailed mechanism is unclear. Here, we show that CD31+ endothelial cell counts decrease in muscles infected with C. perfringens in an α-toxin-dependent manner. In vitro experiments revealed that α-toxin preferentially and rapidly induces the death of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) compared with C2C12 murine
