A Proinflammatory Role for Proteolytically Cleaved Annexin A1 in Neutrophil Transendothelial Migration

Transendothelial Migration Cleaved Annexin A1 in Neutrophil A Proinflammatory Role for Proteolytically

CD157 plays a pivotal role in neutrophil transendothelial migration.

Paracellular diapedesis, a key step in leukocyte recruitment to the site of inflammation, occurs at endothelial junctions and is regulated by highly coordinated interactions between leukocytes and endothelium. We found that CD157, a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored ectoenzyme belonging to the NADase/ADP-ribosyl cyclase family, plays a crucial role for neutrophil diapedesis, because its lig...

Epithin/PRSS14 proteolytically regulates angiopoietin receptor Tie2 during transendothelial migration.

Epithin/PRSS14, a type II transmembrane serine protease, is involved in normal epithelial development and tumor progression. Here we report, as an interacting substrate of epithin, a receptor tyrosine kinase Tie2 that is well known for important roles in the vessel stability. Epithin interacts with and degrades the Tie2 extracellular portion that contains the ligand-binding domain. Epithin is l...

Cardiac myocytes exposed to anoxia-reoxygenation promote neutrophil transendothelial migration.

The goal of the present study was to assess whether cardiac myocytes exposed to anoxia-reoxygenation (A/R) could generate a chemotactic gradient for polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) transendothelial migration. Exposure of neonatal mouse cardiac myocytes to A/R induced an oxidant stress in the myocytes. Supernatants obtained from A/R-conditioned myocytes promoted mouse PMN migration across mou...
