Article Abstract

In vitro modeling of the different steps of immune cell recruitment is essential to decipher the role of endothelial cells in this process. Here, we present a protocol for the assessment of human monocyte transendothelial migration using a live cell imaging system. We describe steps for culture of fluorescent monocytic THP-1 cells and chemotaxis plate preparation with HUVEC monolayers. We then detail real-time analysis using the IncuCyte® S3 live-cell imaging system, image analysis, and assessment of transendothelial migration rates. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Ladaigue et al..

Objective: Diabetes mellitus combined with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is a prevalent and intricate metabolic disorder that presents a significant global health challenge, imposing economic and emotional burdens on society and families. An in-depth understanding of the disease pathogenesis is crucial for enhancing diagnostic and therapeutic efficacy. Therefore, the study aims to identify and validate autophagy-related diagnostic biomarkers associated with T2DM-associated MAFLD, investigate regulatory mechanisms in disease progression, and explore cellular diversity within the same tissue using single-cell sequencing data.

Upon inflammation, leukocytes extravasate through endothelial cells. When they extravasate, it is generally accepted that neighboring endothelial cells disconnect. Careful examination of endothelial junctions showed a partial membrane overlap beyond VE-cadherin distribution.

Introduction: Sepsis is characterized by life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by dysregulated host response to infection. A key contributor is the disruption of neutrophil-endothelial interactions. Despite extensive research, there are no FDA-approved therapies that directly target altered neutrophil function in sepsis.
