Endothelial signaling in paracellular and transcellular leukocyte transmigration.

TL;DR: This review will first summarize the signaling events that are transduced by leukocyte engagement of endothelial cell-surface receptors like ICAM- 1 and VCAM-1, and discuss the newly characterized transmigratory cup structure and the recent advances made towards understanding the mechanisms of transcellular transendothelial migration.

Abstract: As the primary physical barrier between blood and tissue compartments within the body, blood vessel endothelial cells and integrity of the cell junctions connecting them must be carefully regulated to support leukocyte transendothelial migration only when necessary. Leukocytes utilize two independent routes across the endothelium: the paracellular route involves migration in-between adjacent endothelial cells and requires the transient disassembly of endothelial cell junctions, while the transcellular route occurs directly through an individual endothelial cell, likely requiring the formation of a channel or pore. In this review, I will first summarize the signaling events that are transduced by leukocyte engagement of endothelial cell-surface receptors like ICAM-1 and VCAM-1. Some of these signals include activation of GTPases, production of reactive oxygen species, and phosphorylation of target proteins. These signaling pathways converge to cause junctional disruption, cytoskeletal remodeling, and/or the membrane fusion events that are associated with leukocyte transendothelial migration. The review will conclude with a detailed discussion of the newly characterized transmigratory cup structure, and the recent advances made towards understanding the mechanisms of transcellular transendothelial migration.

Hepatic platelet and leukocyte adherence during endotoxemia
Roland S. Croner,Elfie Hoerer,Yakup Kulu,Tilo Hackert,Martha-Maria Gebhard,Christian Herfarth,Ernst Klar +6 more
TL;DR: Hepatic platelet-endothelial interaction is an early event during endotoxemia, which underlines the probable involvement of platelets in leukocyte recruitment and makes the existence of autoregulatory liver mechanisms likely.

Role of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in the vascular responses to inflammation
Peter R. Kvietys,D. Neil Granger +1 more
TL;DR: This analysis of the literature is consistent with the view that reactive oxygen and nitrogen species contribute significantly to the diverse vascular responses in inflammation and supports efforts that are directed at targeting these highly reactive species to maintain normal vascular health in pathological conditions that are associated with acute or chronic inflammation.

Junctional Adhesion Molecule, a Novel Member of the Immunoglobulin Superfamily That Distributes at Intercellular Junctions and Modulates Monocyte Transmigration
Ines Martin-Padura,Susan Lostaglio,Markus Schneemann,Lisa Williams,Maria Romano,Paolo Fruscella,Carla Panzeri,Antonella Stoppacciaro,Luigi Ruco,Antonello Villa,David Simmons,Elisabetta Dejana +11 more
TL;DR: JAM is a new component of endothelial and epithelial junctions that play a role in regulating monocyte transmigration and is identified as a novel immunoglobulin gene superfamily member that consists of two V-type Ig domains.
The tight junction: a multifunctional complex.
TL;DR: A group of integral membrane proteins-occludin, claudins, and junction adhesion molecules-interact with an increasingly complex array of tight junction plaque proteins not only to regulate paracellular solute and water flux but also to integrate such diverse processes as gene transcription, tumor suppression, cell proliferation, and cell polarity.
