Table 1

Overview of some mechanisms that regulate extravasation of leukocyte subtypes in the order of events during the leukocyte extravasation cascade.

Tethering/rolling/slow rollingL-selectin, PSGL-1EC/monosL-selectin interacts with PNAd and PSGL-1 with P- and E-selectin to mediate proper rolling[80]
P-selectin, Mac1EC/monosRolling and adhesion on ECM-bound platelets under flow[84]
P-selectin, PSGL-1, and CD44EC/monosMediate rolling during monocyte recruitment to lymphoid tissues during inflammation[79]
CD44Neutrophils/T cellCD44 interacts with E-selectin in cooperation with PSGL-1 to mediate rolling[141]
TIM-1T cellTIM-1 interacts with PSGL-1 to mediate rolling[140]
CD43T cellCD43 interacts with E-selectin in cooperation with PSGL-1 to mediate rolling[142, 143]
P-selectin, PSGL1/PSGL-1 CD44, and L-selectinECs/neutrophilsMediate rolling during recruitment of neutrophils in cremasteric postcapillary venules[21, 22]
PSGL-1, LFA-1/P-selectin, and ICAM-2Neutrophil/ECsMediate sling formation and slow rolling[32, 37]

Arrest/adhesionVLA-4MonosPLC-, Ca-, and calmodulin-dependent arrest in response to chemokines[86]
VLA-4, GDF-15MonosGDF-15 reduces VLA-4 activation and monocyte adhesion[87]
LFA-1/ICAM-1NeutrophilsMediate neutrophil arrest[42]
EphA2ECReduction of VCAM-1 expression and monocyte adhesion[89]
DARCECCCL2 transport to the apical EC surface to induce monocyte activation and recruitment[85]
SIRPα/CD47Monos/ECNegatively regulates β2-integrin-mediated monocyte adhesion and transmigration[91]
CD47T cellMediates integrin-dependent arrest on VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 and T cell recruitment in vivo[145]
Kindlin 3T cellReinforces T cell adhesion[146]
CXCR4Monos/B cellCXCL12-dependent adhesion and diapedesis[159]
VCAM-1B cellVCAM-mediated arrest without rolling[160]

CrawlingLFA-1, Mac1MonosLocomotion in search for the nearest suitable junction to start diapedesis[92]
LFA-1, Mac1MonosCrawling in unstimulated cremaster venules LFA-1-dependent that becomes Mac1-dependent after TNF-α-stimulation[93]
LFA-1; CCL3/CXC3CL1MonosPatrolling of resident monocytes and recruitment into noninflamed tissues[72]
Mac1/ICAM-1Neutrophils Control the luminal crawling of neutrophils on endothelial ICAM-1[42]
Mac1/ICAM-2NeutrophilsControl the directionality and speed of crawling of neutrophils on endothelium[45]

Cup formationLFA-1/ICAM-1
VLA-4/VCAM-1
ALCAM-1
AllClustering of these receptor-ligand pairs around adhering leukocytes causes GTPase activation, actin adaptor molecule recruitment, actin remodeling, and protrusion formation to engulf and support the adherent leukocyte [49, 50, 94100]

TEMJAM-A, JAM-L, JAM-C, PECAM-1, DNAM-1, CD155, and CD99AllServe as counterreceptors for leukocyte-EC interactions during the passage through interendothelial cell contacts[105, 108112]
Mac1, NE/JAM-CNeutrophils/ECsControl the directionality of neutrophil transendothelial migration. Cleavage of JAM-C induces aberrant transendothelial migration [57]
VAP-1T cellTogether with ICAM-1 and CLEVER-1 specifically regulates T cell TEM[156, 157]
MonosSupport CX3CL1-dependent monocyte transmigration across hepatic sinusoidal EC[161]
NeutrophilsBlocking enzymatic activity of VAP-1 reduces neutrophil diapedesis and accumulation in lungs[162, 163]
OccludinECMethamphetamine-induced Arp2/3 activation induces occludin internalization and monocyte transmigration[113]

Neutrophils
Blocking JAM-A interaction with LFA-1 reduces recruitment of monocytes and neutrophils into the brain after ischemia/reperfusion injury[107]

VLA-3 VLA-6/collagen, lamininNeutrophils/venular BM Control the migration of neutrophils through venular basement membrane and exit through LERs[10]

Interstitial motilityLFA-1
VLA-3
AllInteraction with abluminal ICAM-1 enables uropod extension while VLA-3 mediates movement of the leading edge in the BM[68]
ICAM-1PericytesNG2+-pericytes secrete chemokines and express ICAM-1 to attract/bind transmigrated leukocytes[114]
