Cell Adhesion Molecules, Leukocyte Trafficking, and Strategies to Reduce Leukocyte Infiltration 2001
What mediates the initial slowing of leukocytes on the vascular endothelium

a. Selectins (after vasodilation, intravascular hydrostatic pressure reduces neutrophil flow through the vessel and allows for additional selecting-selectin receptor binding)
45
What allows the leukocytes to adhere to the endothelium

a. B2 integrins that are activated by leukocyte exposure to cytokines and Proinflammatory mediators
46
What are the intercellular adhesion molecules for endothelial cells

a. ICAM-1 (intercellular adhesion molecule 1)
47
What allows leukocytes to extravasate into tissues through the tight junctions of the endothelial cells

a. Platelet and endothelial cell adhesion molecule -1 (PECAM-1)
48
What allows perivascular migration through the extracellular matrix

a. B1 integrins
49
Which breed of dog have impaired expression of B2 integrins by leukocytes therefore making transmigration of leukocytes difficult

50
What are the three main types of selectins and what are they comprised of

a. L, E, and P selectins and they are heavily glycosylated membrane proteins
i. L-selectin is for leukocytes and allows adhesion to the endothelial cells
ii. P-selectin is a platelet selectin and is mobilized from storage granules to the cell surface after activation by LPS, TNFalpha, IL-1, oxygen radicals, histamine, thrombin, and interferon gamma and is necessary for leukocyte adhesion
iii. E-selectin is an endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule that is synthesized and expressed on endothelial cells, induced by IL-1 and TNFalpha
51

57
How do glucocorticoids affect adhesion molecule formation
