| Research Abstract |
It is well known that one of the critical events in early atherosclerosis is the recruitment of blood monocytes to proatherogenic vascular regions and subsequent transmigration across vascular endothelial cells. It is still unknown how monocytes infiltrate into between and underneath EC monolayer. To elucidate this phenomenon, direct observation of cytoskeletal structure and/or signaling molecules in migrating monocytes under the controlled culture condition is necessary. In this study, we have established the observation system of migration of monocytic cell line induced by chemoattractant from micropipette. We have estimated the migration of HL-60 and THP-1 seeded on gelatin or fibronectin, to fMLP or MCP-1. In our experiments, THP-1 cells seeded on fibronectin actively migrated to the tip of micropipette. fMLP was more effective than MCP-1. In addition, we have found that PECAM-1 in EC is one of the key molecules that controls the leukocytes trans-endothelial migration and SHP-2 exists in the upstream of signaling transduction.
