Extracellular matrix, junctional integrity and matrix metalloproteinase interactions in endothelial permeability regulation*

Alexander, J. S., Elrod, John W.·2002·Journal of Anatomy

Abstract

Vascular endothelial permeability is maintained by the regulated apposition of adherens and tight junctional proteins whose organization is controlled by several pharmacological and physiological mediators. Endothelial permeability changes are associated with: (1) the spatial redistribution of surface cadherins and occludin, (2) stabilization of focal adhesive bonds and (3) the progressive activation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). In response to peroxide, histamine and EDTA, endothelial cells sequester VE‐cadherin and alter its cytoskeletal binding. Simultaneously, these mediators enhance focal adhesion to the substratum. Oxidants, cytokines and pharmacological mediators also trigger the activation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in a cytoskeleton and tyrosine phosphorylation dependent manner to degrade occludin, a well‐characterized tight junction element. These related in vitro phenomena appear to co‐operate during inflammation, to increase endothelial permeability, structurally stabilize cells while also remodelling cell junctions and substratum.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
