Abstract excerpt
While vital to platelet and leukocyte adhesion, the role of integrin affinity modulation in adherent cells remains controversial. In endothelial cells, atheroprone hemodynamics and oxidized lipoproteins drive an increase in the high affinity conformation of α5β1 integrins in endothelial cells in vitro, and α5β1 integrin inhibitors reduce proinflammatory endothelial activation to these stimuli in vitro and in...
