Three-dimensional forces exerted by leukocytes and vascular endothelial cells dynamically facilitate diapedesis

Abstract: Leukocyte transmigration across vessel walls is a critical step in the innate immune response. Upon their activation and firm adhesion to vascular endothelial cells (VECs), leukocytes preferentially extravasate across junctional gaps in the endothelial monolayer (paracellular diapedesis). It has been hypothesized that VECs facilitate paracellular diapedesis by opening their cell-cell junctions in response to the presence of an adhering leukocyte. However, it is unclear how leukocytes interact mechanically with… Show more

“…Our model predictions of gap opening frequency and lifetime at both cell vertices and borders are validated by experiments observing such gaps in endothelial monolayers in the absence of any extravasating cell. 4 The results thus challenge the paradigm that all extravasating cells primarily cause gap opening through interactions with the endothelium [1,8,31]. We then show experimentally that extravasating cancer cells indeed primarily extravasate at vertices, in line with similar observations for neutrophils [32].…”

“…By utilizing 3D TFM, it was shown that leukocytes exert force to open junctions between vascular endothelial cells. Under inflammatory conditions, less traction stress is required for diapedesis, facilitating leukocyte extravasation . Because less traction force is required for transendothelial migration during inflammation, this mechanism may also protect nuclear and DNA integrity, both of which were shown to undergo mechanical damage during invasive migration …”
