Molecular and cellular properties of PECAM-1 (endoCAM/CD31): a novel vascular cell-cell adhesion molecule
PECAM-1 is a 130-120-kD integral membrane glycoprotein found on the surface of platelets, at endothelial intercellular junctions in culture, and on cells of myeloid lineage. Previous studies have shown that it is a member of the immunoglobulin gene superfamily and that antibodies against the bovine form of this protein (endoCAM) can inhibit endothelial cell-cell interactions. These data suggest...
متن کاملA heterophilic adhesion mechanism for platelet/endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1 (CD31)
The molecular nature of cell adhesion mediated by platelet/endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1 (PECAM-1; CD31) was examined using stably transfected L cells in a PECAM-dependent aggregation assay. This adhesion was temperature sensitive and divalent cation dependent, with Mg2+ supporting aggregation to a greater degree than Ca2+. PECAM-dependent aggregation was heterophilic: PECAM-1 transfecta...
متن کاملRadiation-induced expression of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 in cerebral endothelial cells
Background: Radiation-induced molecular changes on the endothelial surface of brain arteriovenous malformations (AVM) may be used as markers for specific vascular targeting agents. In this study, we examined the level of expression of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) on brain endothelial cell surface after radiation treatment, with the aim of targeting the radiation-induc...
متن کاملPlatelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1/CD31) acts as a regulator of B-cell development, B-cell antigen receptor (BCR)-mediated activation, and autoimmune disease.
Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1/CD31) is an immunoglobulin-immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (Ig-ITIM) superfamily member that recruits and activates protein-tyrosine phosphatases, SHP-1 and SHP-2, through its intrinsic ITIMs. PECAM-1-deficient (PECAM-1(-/-) ) mice exhibit a hyperresponsive B-cell phenotype, increased numbers of B-1 cells, reduced B-2 cells, ...
متن کاملVascular cell adhesion molecule-1 augments adenovirus-mediated gene transfer.
We have reported that adenovirus-mediated gene transfer is augmented in the endothelium of atherosclerotic blood vessels. We observed that vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) shares some homology with the coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor. Because VCAM-1 is upregulated on atherosclerotic endothelial cells, we hypothesized that VCAM-1 may act as an auxiliary receptor to augment adeno...
