Exogenous tat protein activates central nervous system-derived endothelial cells

Abstract

Tat protein, an HIV gene product known to be secreted extracellularly, was tested to determine its role in the dissemination of HIV into the central nervous system (CNS). Tat was shown to activate human CNS-derived endothelial cells (CNS-EC) by the increase in the expression of E-selectin, the synthesis of IL-6, and the secretion of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1). Tat also functioned synergistically with tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF). AIDS brains stained for tat in situ, demonstrated positive cells. These data suggest that secreted tat protein may increase leukocyte binding, and alter the blood-brain barrier permeability to enhance dissemination of HIV-infected cells into the CNS.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
