- ats.ctsnetjournals.org
- Effects of cardiopulmonary bypass on leukocyte and endothelial adhesion molecules .
- Adhesion molecules.
- During the inflammatory response, triggered by cardiopulmonary bypass, interaction between activated leukocytes, platelets, and endothelial cells is mediated through the expression of three main groups of adhesion molecules: the selectins, the integrins, and the immunoglobulin superfamily. ... Integrins can be found on most cell types, consist of an and a ß subunit and mediate firm adhesion of the leukocyte and migration into the tissues. ... This review article summarizes the existing, and rapidly expanding, literature concerning the effects of cardiopulmonary bypass on the expression of leukocyte and endothelial adhesion molecules. Deeper understanding of the behavior and the role of adhesion molecules during cardiopulmonary bypass may facilitate effective intervention in the inflammatory response process and suppression of its adverse effects. ...
- Adhesion molecules.

- Adhesion molecules.
- However, a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in leukocyte adhesion has developed only in the past decade. Specific adhesion molecules, which are expressed on leukocytes, platelets, and endothelial cells, were shown to participate in this process 26 . Leukocyte activation with expression of adhesion molecules also takes place during cardiac operations and is thought to be the result of operative trauma and, most important, of contact between leukocytes and the artificial surface of the bypass circuit. In conditions of endothelial dysfunction, such as after reperfusion injury of ischemic myocardium, upregulation of adhesion molecules enhances neutrophil-led tissue damage. Monoclonal antibodies against a variety of adhesion molecules ameliorated neutrophil infiltration and tissue damage of ischemic-reperfused myocardium in animal experiments 27 . Adhesion molecules that regulate leukocyteendothelial cell interaction can be divided into three main families: the selectins, the integrins, and the immunoglobulin superfamily 26 . ...

- Focal adhesion proteins FAK and paxillin increase in hypertrophied skeletal muscle .

19. CDK5 Regulates Cell Adhesion and Migration in Corneal Epithelial Cells -- Gao et al. 1 (1): 12 -- Molecular Cancer Research
- mcr.aacrjournals.org
- CDK5 Regulates Cell Adhesion and Migration in Corneal Epithelial Cells .
- Stable transfection of corneal epithelial cells with CDK5, which increases CDK5 kinase activity by approximately 33%, also increases the number of cells adhering to fibronectin and the strength of adhesion. CDK5 kinase activity seems to be required for this effect, because the kinase inactive mutation, CDK5-T33, either reduces adhesion or has no significant effect, depending on the level of expression. ... These findings indicate that CDK5 may be an important regulator of adhesion and migration of corneal epithelial cells. ...
- Key Words: CDK5 p35 adhesion cytoskeleton migration.

- Since cell-to-matrix adhesion is associated with formation of vinculin-containing adhesion plaques linked to the detergent-insoluble cytoskeletal fraction, we tested whether CDK5 affects the association of vinculin with the detergent-insoluble fraction. ... This finding suggests that CDK5 overexpression promotes focal adhesion formation and/or linkage to the cytoskeleton. ...
