Cell Adhesion and Human Disease
P-selectin is a transmembrane adhesion receptor specific to platelets and endothelial cells. It has an N-terminal lectin domain that recognizes specific carbohydrate moieties on monocytes, neutrophils and some other subsets of leukocytes. P-selectin is stored in granules and is expressed on the plasma membrane only after the cells are stimulated by vascular injury or during inflammation. Physio...
متن کاملPathogenic interactions between Helicobacter pylori adhesion protein HopQ and human cell surface adhesion molecules CEACAMs in gastric epithelial cells
Objective(s): The present paper aims to review the studies describing the interactions between HopQ and CEACAMs along with possible mechanisms responsible for pathogenicity of Helicobacter pylori.Materials and Methods: The literature was searched on “PubMed” using different key words including Helicobacter pylori, CEACAM and gastric.<br ...
متن کاملEndothelial cell adhesion molecules in meningococcal disease.
BACKGROUND Endothelial damage is important in meningococcal disease. Cell adhesion molecules, including P selectin, E selectin, and intercellular cell adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), are expressed by activated endothelium and then subsequently shed. METHODS ICAM-1, P selectin, and E selectin were measured on admission to hospital in children with meningococcal infections. RESULTS Concentratio...
متن کاملCleavage and cell adhesion properties of human epithelial cell adhesion molecule (HEPCAM).
Human epithelial cell adhesion molecule (HEPCAM) is a tumor-associated antigen frequently expressed in carcinomas, which promotes proliferation after regulated intramembrane proteolysis. Here, we describe extracellular shedding of HEPCAM at two α-sites through a disintegrin and metalloprotease (ADAM) and at one β-site through BACE1. Transmembrane cleavage by γ-secretase occurs at three γ-sites ...
متن کاملDysferlin regulates cell adhesion in human monocytes.
Dysferlin is mutated in a group of muscular dystrophies commonly referred to as dysferlinopathies. It is highly expressed in skeletal muscle, where it is important for sarcolemmal maintenance. Recent studies show that dysferlin is also expressed in monocytes. Moreover, muscle of dysferlinopathy patients is characterized by massive immune cell infiltrates, and dysferlin-negative monocytes were s...
