Effects of Polymorphonuclear Leukocyte Transmigration
We describe a model to study the effects of polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) transmigration on the intestinal epithelial barrier. Human PMN were induced to transmigrate across high resistance monolayers of a cultured human intestinal epithelial cell line (T84 cells) by chemotactic gradients produced by formyl methionyl leucyl phenylalanine (FMLP). With maximal transmigration monolayer resistan...
متن کاملEndothelial adapter proteins in leukocyte transmigration.
Leukocyte transendothelial migration (TEM) requires endothelial signalling. This signalling is initiated by clustering of cell-surface adhesion molecules and transmitted into the endothelium by a group of associated or co-clustered adapter proteins. These adapter proteins, such as cortactin and filamin, connect the adhesion molecules to the actin cytoskeleton as well as to signalling enzymes an...
متن کاملTransendothelial Migration Enables Subsequent Transmigration of Neutrophils through Underlying Pericytes
During acute inflammation, neutrophil recruitment into extravascular tissue requires neutrophil tethering and rolling on cytokine-activated endothelial cells (ECs), tight adhesion, crawling towards EC junctions and transendothelial migration (TEM). Following TEM, neutrophils must still traverse the subendothelial basement membrane and network of pericytes (PCs). Until recently, the contribution...
متن کاملPericytes support neutrophil subendothelial cell crawling and breaching of venular walls in vivo
Neutrophil transmigration through venular walls that are composed of endothelial cells (ECs), pericytes, and the venular basement membrane is a key component of innate immunity. Through direct analysis of leukocyte-pericyte interactions in inflamed tissues using confocal intravital microscopy, we show how pericytes facilitate transmigration in vivo. After EC migration, neutrophils crawl along p...
متن کاملIII. Leukocyte adhesion and transmigration in the liver vasculature.
Leukocytes, i.e., neutrophils, monocytes, and lymphocytes, can accumulate in the hepatic vasculature and contribute to the pathophysiology of various liver diseases. Recently, significant progress has been made in the understanding of the basic mechanisms of neutrophil infiltration and cytotoxicity in the liver. However, there are a substantial number of unresolved issues. This article describe...
