Tumor cell adhesion under hydrodynamic conditions of fluid flow.
Current evidence indicates that tumor cell adhesion to the microvasculature in host organs during formation of distant metastases is a complex process involving various types of cell adhesion molecules. Recent results have shown that stabilization of tumor cell adhesion to the microvascular vessel wall is a very important step for successful tumor cell migration and colonization of host organs....
متن کاملDesign of a side-view particle imaging velocimetry flow system for cell-substrate adhesion studies.
Experimental models that mimic the flow conditions in microcapillaries have suggested that the local shear stresses and shear rates can mediate tumor cell and leukocyte arrest on the endothelium and subsequent sustained adhesion. However, further investigation has been limited by the lack of experimental models that allow quantitative measurement of the hydrodynamic environment over adherent ce...
متن کاملAdhesion and locomotion of granulocytes under flow conditions.
The aim of this study was to compare the strength of the surface adhesion of migrating human granulocytes and the main parameters of their locomotion under the influence of various external forces. The strength of adhesion of granulocytes moving in a quiescent medium was studied by detaching them gravitationally from the plane surface situated above them. In these conditions the force of adhesi...
متن کاملSurface deformation and shear flow in ligand mediated cell adhesion.
We present a unified, multiscale model to study the attachment/detachment dynamics of two deforming, charged, near spherical cells, coated with binding ligands and subject to a slow, homogeneous shear flow in a viscous, ionic fluid medium. The binding ligands on the surface of the cells experience both attractive and repulsive forces in an ionic medium and exhibit finite resistance to rotation ...
متن کاملNeutrophils influence melanoma adhesion and migration under flow conditions.
We have studied human melanoma cell (C8161) adhesion and migration in response to stimulation by soluble collagen IV (CIV) using a modified Boyden chamber. In this modified chamber, shear flow can be introduced over the cell-substrate interface, affecting tumor cell chemotactic migration through a microporous filter. A relatively high level of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) was foun...
