Th1 cell-mediated resistance to cutaneous infection with Leishmania major is independent of P- and E-selectins.
Studies in several models of inflammation have underscored the importance of P- and E-selectins in the migration of T cells to inflamed tissues. However, the role of the endothelial selectins in infection-induced cutaneous inflammation and host-protective immunity has not been investigated. In this study, we demonstrate that CD4(+) T cells recruited to the cutaneous compartment during infection...
متن کاملDiminished adhesion of Anaplasma phagocytophilum-infected neutrophils to endothelial cells is associated with reduced expression of leukocyte surface selectin.
Anaplasma phagocytophilum propagates within neutrophils and causes a disease marked by inflammatory tissue injury or complicated by opportunistic infections. We hypothesized that infection with A. phagocytophilum modifies the binding of neutrophils to endothelial cells and the expression of neutrophil adhesion molecules and studied these changes in vitro. Infected dimethyl sulfoxide-differentia...
متن کاملSelectin ligand-independent priming and maintenance of T cell immunity during airborne tuberculosis.
Immunity to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection is critically dependent on the timely priming of T effector lymphocytes and their efficient recruitment to the site of mycobacterial implantation in the lung. E-, P-, and L-selectin counterreceptors control lymphocyte homing to lymph nodes and leukocyte trafficking to peripheral sites of acute inflammation, their adhesive function depending on fu...
متن کاملE-Selectin Ligands in the Human Mononuclear Phagocyte System: Implications for Infection, Inflammation, and Immunotherapy
The mononuclear phagocyte system comprises a network of circulating monocytes and dendritic cells (DCs), and "histiocytes" (tissue-resident macrophages and DCs) that are derived in part from blood-borne monocytes and DCs. The capacity of circulating monocytes and DCs to function as the body's first-line defense against offending pathogens greatly depends on their ability to egress the bloodstre...
متن کاملEffect of Tribulus Terrestris L. on Expression of ICAM-1, VCAM-1, E-Selectin and Proteome Profile of Human Endothelial Cells In-Vitro
Background: Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammation that interferes with blood arteries functions due to the accumulation of low density lipids and cholesterol. Objective: To investigate the effect of aqueous extract and saponin fraction of Tribulus terrestris L. (TT) on the proteome and expression of intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascu...
