Endothelial 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 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 کاملNeutrophil diapedesis: paracellular or transcellular?
To reach an inflammatory site in the interstitium, circulating neutrophils (PMN) must first traverse the endothelial barrier. Whether PMN emigrate between endothelial cells (paracellular pathway) or through the endothelial cells proper (transcellular pathway) is controversial. Herein, we present anatomic, functional, and teleological arguments that support both points of view. An attempt is als...
متن کاملVCAM-1-mediated Rac signaling controls endothelial cell-cell contacts and leukocyte transmigration.
Leukocyte adhesion is mediated totally and transendothelial migration partially by heterotypic interactions between the beta1- and beta2-integrins on the leukocytes and their ligands, Ig-like cell adhesion molecules (Ig-CAM), VCAM-1, and ICAM-1, on the endothelium. Both integrins and Ig-CAMs are known to have signaling capacities. In this study we analyzed the role of VCAM-1-mediated signaling ...
متن کاملEndothelial Domes Encapsulate Adherent Neutrophils and Minimize Increases in Vascular Permeability in Paracellular and Transcellular Emigration
Local edema, a cardinal sign of inflammation associates closely with neutrophil emigration. Neutrophil emigration has been described to occur primarily through endothelial junctions (paracellular) and more rarely directly through endothelial cells (transcellular). Recently, we reported that unlike in wild-type (wt) mice, Mac-1-/- (CD11b) neutrophils predominantly emigrated transcellularly and w...
