| T1 |
0-109 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Monocyte adhesion and spreading on human endothelial cells is dependent on Rho-regulated receptor clustering. |
| T2 |
110-221 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The GTPase Rho is known to mediate the assembly of integrin-containing focal adhesions and actin stress fibers. |
| T3 |
222-382 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Here, we investigate the role of Rho in regulating the distribution of the monocyte-binding receptors E-selectin, ICAM-1, and VCAM-1 in human endothelial cells. |
| T4 |
383-570 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Inhibition of Rho activity with C3 transferase or N19RhoA, a dominant negative RhoA mutant, reduced the adhesion of monocytes to activated endothelial cells and inhibited their spreading. |
| T5 |
571-661 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Similar effects were observed after pretreatment of endothelial cells with cytochalasin D. |
| T6 |
662-762 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In contrast, dominant negative Rac and Cdc42 proteins did not affect monocyte adhesion or spreading. |
| T7 |
763-1023 |
Sentence |
denotes |
C3 transferase and cytochalasin D did not alter the expression levels of monocyte-binding receptors on endothelial cells, but did inhibit clustering of E-selectin, ICAM-1, and VCAM-1 on the cell surface induced by monocyte adhesion or cross-linking antibodies. |
| T8 |
1024-1073 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Similarly, N19RhoA inhibited receptor clustering. |
| T9 |
1074-1257 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Monocyte adhesion and receptor cross-linking induced stress fiber assembly, and inhibitors of myosin light chain kinase prevented this response but did not affect receptor clustering. |
| T10 |
1258-1333 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Finally, receptor clusters colocalized with ezrin/moesin/ radixin proteins. |
| T11 |
1334-1588 |
Sentence |
denotes |
These results suggest that Rho is required in endothelial cells for the assembly of stable adhesions with monocytes via the clustering of monocyte-binding receptors and their association with the actin cytoskeleton, independent of stress fiber formation. |
