To investigate whether vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) increases cancer cell adhesion to intact microvessels, we measured adhesion rates of MDA-MB-435s human breast cancer cells in the postcapillary venule of rat mesentery by in vivo video microscopy. An individual postcapillary venule in the mesentery was cannulated via a glass micropipette filled with cancer cells and 1% BSA Ringer solution...
CD151 plays an important role in the regulation of cell migration, vascular morphogenesis, and cancer metastasis. Many of these processes are related to the strength of cell-matrix attachment. In this study, traction force microscopy (TFM) was used to determine whether knockdown of CD151 in endothelial cells would lead to a significant modification in cell-matrix adhesion. Human dermal microvascular...
Rotator cuff tears are among the most common shoulder injuries that require surgery. High failure rates of biological graft-based repairs underscore the need for functional alternatives. In this study, effects of nanofiber organization on adhesion of cuff fibroblasts (hRCF) and human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) are evaluated. It is hypothesized that fiber alignment will regulate cell morphology...
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has been shown to increase the adhesion of human breast cancer cells to human brain endothelium [1]. However, how VEGF accomplishes this is not well understood. We hypothesize that VEGF compromises the integrity of brain microvascular endothelium is one mechanism to increase the tumor cell adhesion. To test our hypothesis, using a Transwell system, we measured...
We demonstrate a simple method to make high-resolution P-selectin patterns based on microcontact printing for controlling cell rolling. SEM characterization revealed well-defined patterns that could direct the trajectories of rolling HL60 cells along the edges. Cell tracking revealed that velocities of rolling cells were higher at the edges as compared to plain P-selectin regions, with a maximum at...
