Endothelial cell junctions
In the course of a freeze-cleave study on intercellular junctions in the regenerating rat liver, we observed an unusual array of intramembranous particles located in regions of contact between endothelial cells lining the hepatic sinusoids. These arrays were characterized by an accumulation of particles which resembled a zonula occludens in their linear deployment but differed in that the conta...
متن کاملStructure of Coupled and Uncoupled Cell Junctions
Cells of Chironomus salivary glands and Malpighian tubules have junctions of the "septate" kind. This is the only kind of junction discerned which is large enough to effect the existing degree of intercellular communication. The electron microscopic observations of the "septate" junction conform to a honeycomb structure, with 80-A-thick electron-opaque walls and 90-A-wide transparent cores, con...
متن کاملDynamic Regulation of Vascular Permeability by Vascular Endothelial Cadherin-Mediated Endothelial Cell-Cell Junctions.
Endothelial cells lining blood vessels regulate vascular barrier function, which controls the passage of plasma proteins and circulating cells across the endothelium. In most normal adult tissues, endothelial cells preserve basal vascular permeability at a low level, while they increase permeability in response to inflammation. Therefore, vascular permeability is tightly controlled by a number ...
متن کاملADAM9 is present at endothelial cell - cell junctions and regulates monocyte – endothelial transmigration
We have found that A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase-9 (ADAM9) localises to cell-cell junctions with VE-Cadherin in confluent endothelial monolayers. Co-cultures of cells separately transfected with ADAM9-EGFP or ADAM9-HA showed expression is required in two adjacent cells for localisation to cell-cell junctions suggesting the ADAM9 ectodomain may self-associate. A direct interaction between ...
متن کاملDesmoplakin expression and organization at human umbilical vein endothelial cell-to-cell junctions.
Desmoplakin is an intracellular component of desmosomes which plays a role in the anchorage of intermediate filaments to these structures. We report here that, despite the absence of desmosomes, cultured endothelial cells from human umbilical vein express desmoplakin I and II both at mRNA and protein level. Desmoplakin I/II are found only in the detergent insoluble fraction suggesting that most...
