Neutrophil diapedesis: paracellular or transcellular?
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 also made to reconcile this apparent controversy.

β2 integrin-mediated crawling on endothelial ICAM-1 and ICAM-2 is a prerequisite for transcellular neutrophil diapedesis across the inflamed blood-brain barrier.
In acute neuroinflammatory states such as meningitis, neutrophils cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and contribute to pathological alterations of cerebral function. The mechanisms that govern neutrophil migration across the BBB are ill defined. Using live-cell imaging, we show that LPS-stimulated BBB endothelium supports neutrophil arrest, crawling, and diapedesis under physiological flow in ...
متن کاملThe physiological roles of ICAM-1 and ICAM-2 in neutrophil migration into tissues.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Neutrophil extravasation from the blood into tissues is initiated by tethering and rolling of neutrophils on endothelial cells, followed by neutrophil integrin activation and shear resistant arrest, crawling, diapedesis and breaching the endothelial basement membrane harbouring pericytes. Endothelial intercellular cell adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 and ICAM-2, in conjunction with...
متن کاملTranscellular diapedesis is initiated by invasive podosomes.
Diapedesis is critical for immune system function and inflammatory responses. This occurs by migration of blood leukocytes either directly through individual microvascular endothelial cells (the "transcellular" route) or between them (the "paracellular" route). Mechanisms for transcellular pore formation in endothelium remain unknown. Here we demonstrate that lymphocytes used podosomes and exte...
متن کاملMechanisms for transcellular diapedesis: probing and pathfinding by 'invadosome-like protrusions'.
Immune-system functions require that blood leukocytes continuously traffic throughout the body and repeatedly cross endothelial barriers (i.e. diapedese) as they enter (intravasate) and exit (extravasate) the circulation. The very earliest studies to characterize diapedesis directly in vivo suggested the coexistence of two distinct migratory pathways of leukocytes: between (paracellular pathway...
متن کاملMechanisms of neutrophil transmigration across the vascular endothelium in COPD.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common and important disease. Neutrophils have been shown to play a fundamental role in its development and progression. Understanding the mechanisms underlying the trafficking of neutrophils across the vascular endothelium into the lung could potentially allow the development of targeted biological treatments. The early stages of neutrophil tet...
