Leukocyte interactions with vascular endothelium. New insights into selectin-mediated attachment and rolling

Abstract

Among the earliest signs of inflammation is the capture of leukocytes from the blood stream and their subsequent rolling along the endothelium of postcapillary venules. This commentary summarizes recent insight into the molecular basis of leukocyte rolling gained from gene-targeted mice, Ab blocking studies, and in vitro and in vivo reconstitution assays. These data reveal how the selectins individually and collectively contribute to the process of leukocyte capture and subsequent rolling on vascular endothelium.

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.
