Breakdown of the Endothelial Barrier Function in Tumor Cell Transmigration
The ability of tumor cells to metastasize is associated with a poor prognosis for cancer. During the process of metastasis, tumor cells circulating in the blood or lymph vessels can adhere to, and potentially transmigrate through, the endothelium and invade the connective tissue. We studied the effectiveness of the endothelium as a barrier against the invasion of 51 tumor cell lines into a thre...
متن کاملEndothelial adapter proteins in leukocyte transmigration.
Leukocyte transendothelial migration (TEM) requires endothelial signalling. This signalling is initiated by clustering of cell-surface adhesion molecules and transmitted into the endothelium by a group of associated or co-clustered adapter proteins. These adapter proteins, such as cortactin and filamin, connect the adhesion molecules to the actin cytoskeleton as well as to signalling enzymes an...
متن کاملEndothelial signaling in paracellular and transcellular leukocyte transmigration.
As the primary physical barrier between blood and tissue compartments within the body, blood vessel endothelial cells and integrity of the cell junctions connecting them must be carefully regulated to support leukocyte transendothelial migration only when necessary. Leukocytes utilize two independent routes across the endothelium: the paracellular route involves migration in-between adjacent en...
متن کاملLeukocyte transmigration across the blood-brain barrier: perspectives on neuroAIDS.
Leukocyte trafficking serves a critical function in central nervous system (CNS) immune surveillance. However, in many disease states leukocyte entry into the CNS is increased, which can disrupt the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and propagate neuroinflammation. These pathologic processes result in BBB permeability, glial activation, and neuronal compromise, all of which contribute to CNS damage. Th...
متن کاملAge-related intimal stiffening enhances endothelial permeability and leukocyte transmigration.
Age is the most significant risk factor for atherosclerosis; however, the link between age and atherosclerosis is poorly understood. During both aging and atherosclerosis progression, the blood vessel wall stiffens owing to alterations in the extracellular matrix. Using in vitro and ex vivo models of vessel wall stiffness and aging, we show that stiffening of extracellular matrix within the int...
