This article provides evidence that cationic proteins released after cross-linking of PMN-expressed CD11b/CD18 stimulate alterations in endothelial barrier function. Furthermore, this article provides conclusive evidence that adherence-dependent CD11b/CD18 signaling and PMN-induced alteration in endothelial permeability are not dependent upon PMN transmigration.

This article used immunofluorescence microscopy techniques to visualize alterations in endothelial junctional structure in real time during transmigration of human PMNs and monocytes. Transmigration occurred through pre-existing gaps or after the formation of transient gaps in VE-cadherin junctional distribution. Gaps closed up after migration of PMNs.

This article identifies PMN-liberated azurocidin as a primary factor responsible for alterations in vascular endothelial permeability during PMN transmigration. Evidence presented indicates that azurocidin acts by a paracrine mechanism upon endothelial monolayers after engagement of PMN CD11b/CD18 binding to endothelial ICAM-1.

J Immunol 2002, 169:476-486. This article describes PMN-stimulated alterations to epithelial barrier function and demonstrates that enhanced permeability occurred independently of transmigration but required PMN-epithelial contact. PMNs stimulated phosphorylation of endothelial MLC, indicating contraction of the actin-myosin ring and phosphorylation of junctional proteins on tyrosine residues.
