PECAM-1 supports leukocyte diapedesis by tension-dependent dephosphorylation of VE-cadherin

Nida Arif et al.

Summary: The study reveals the mechanism of leukocyte extravasation during the immune response, which involves the destabilization of endothelial junctions through PECAM-1-SHP2-triggered dephosphorylation of VE-cadherin-Y731. This process requires various biochemical and biomechanical factors, such as Ca2+ signaling, non-muscle myosin II activation, and endothelial cell tension.
