Leukocyte – endothelial interactions in inflammation
At sites of inflammation, infection or vascular injury local proinflammatory or pathogen-derived stimuli render the luminal vascular endothelial surface attractive for leukocytes. This innate immunity response consists of a well-defined and regulated multi-step cascade involving consecutive steps of adhesive interactions between the leukocytes and the endothelium. During the initial contact wit...
متن کاملEndothelial cell regulation of leukocyte infiltration in inflammatory tissues
Endothelial cells play an important, active role in the onset and regulation of inflammatory and immune reactions. Through the production of chemokines they attract leukocytes and activate their adhesive receptors. This leads to the anchorage of leukocytes to the adhesive molecules expressed on the endothelial surface. Leukocyte adhesion to endothelial cells is frequently followed by their extr...
متن کاملRevealing anti-inflammatory mechanisms of soy isoflavones by flow: modulation of leukocyte-endothelial cell interactions.
The antiatherogenic effects of soy isoflavone consumption have been demonstrated in a variety of studies. However, the mechanisms involved remain poorly defined. Adhesion of monocytes to vascular endothelial cells is a key step within the inflammatory cascade that leads to atherogenesis. Many factors, including the physical forces associated with blood flow, regulate this process. Using an in v...
متن کاملLeukocyte-endothelial cell interactions in nitric oxide synthase-deficient mice.
Nitric oxide (NO) is known to be an important endogenous modulator of leukocyte-endothelial cell interactions within the microcirculation. We examined leukocyte rolling and adhesion under baseline conditions and following thrombin (0.25 U/ml) superfusion in the mesentery of wild-type, inducible NOS (iNOS)-deficient (-/-), neuronal NOS (nNOS) -/-, and endothelial cell NOS (ecNOS) -/- mice to fur...
متن کاملMechanisms of ANCA-mediated leukocyte-endothelial cell interactions in vivo.
Anti-myeloperoxidase (anti-MPO) antibodies have been implicated in the pathogenesis of small-vessel vasculitis, but the molecular mechanisms by which these antibodies contribute to disease are unknown. For determination of how anti-MPO antibodies affect inflammatory cell recruitment in small-vessel vasculitis, intravital microscopy was used to monitor leukocyte behavior in the accessible cremas...
