Adhesion molecules in atopic dermatitis: VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 expression is increased in healthy-appearing skin 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
In the skin of normal and atopic individuals, the expression of E-selectin (ELAM-1), L-selectin (LECAM-1), P-selectin (CD62), CD31 (PECAM), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), and cutaneous lymphocyte antigen (CLA) were compared by immunostaining of skin biopsies which were taken from normal individuals ( n = 17), the healthy-appearing skin of patients with atopic dermatitis ( n = 10), and their acute ( n = 5) and chronic ( n = 6) skin lesions. In contrast to ELAM-1, the expression of VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 was found to be significantly increased in nonlesional atopic skin in comparison to the skin of normal individuals. Moreover, in contrast to normal skin of healthy individuals, nonlesional atopic skin showed a further increase of VCAM-1, ICAM-1, and ELAM-1 when cultured with medium alone. This suggests that certain adhesion molecules are constitutively upregulated in healthy-appearing skin of patients with atopic dermatitis. In addition, atopic skin appears to respond to nonspecific stimuli (such as culture with medium alone) with upregulation of VCAM-1, ICAM-1, and ELAM-1. It is suggested that the observed upregulation of adhesion molecules is mediated by the release of cytokines such as interleukin-4 from cells which reside in atopic skin. The question of whether the inherent upregulation of adhesion molecules in atopic skin contributes to the development of Th2 cells, which have been found to predominate in atopic inflammation, has to be further investigated. 相似文献

The distribution of adhesion molecules in human atherosclerosis 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Chronic inflammatory cells are a recognized component of atherosclerotic plaques at all stages of development. As adhesion molecules play a fundamental role in inflammatory processes, we have carried out an immunohistochemical investigation of the distribution of endothelial leucocyte adhesion molecule-1 (ELAM-1)*, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) in human atherosclerotic lesions. Autopsy specimens from abdominal aorta and coronary arteries were obtained from 21 cases within 24 h of death. ELAM-1 and ICAM-1 were consistently expressed by the entire intimal endothelium of normal coronary arteries and also by the intimal endothelium overlying aortic fatty streaks. Both coronary artery and aortic lesions showed strong staining for ICAM-1 on and around macrophages. VCAM-1 was not detected on intimal endothelial cells, but strong staining of adventitial lymphoid aggregates for this molecule was seen. This work suggests a role for ELAM-1 and ICAM-1 in mononuclear cell recruitment during atherogenesis. 相似文献

In a previous work we have demonstrated that in patients exhibiting a late allergic reaction (LAR), alveolar macrophages (AM) collected 18 h after bronchial allergen challenge produced high levels of IL-6 and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) which is known to up-regulate the endothelial cell expression of adhesion molecules participating in the development of the inflammatory reaction in bronchial asthma. For these reasons, we evaluated the effect of AM supernatants from asthmatic patients developing an LAR on intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and endothelial leucocyte adhesion molecule-1 (ELAM-1) expression by human endothelial cells. The expression of adhesion molecules was assessed by an ELISA method and compared with the effect of an optimal dose of human recombinant (hr) TNF. Results showed that AM supernatants, from challenged asthmatics developing an LAR, increased significantly the ICAM-1 and ELAM-1 expression on endothelial cells to a level similar to that obtained in the presence of hrTNF (500 U/ml) (P < 0.001 in both cases, respectively 90.4% and 75.2% of the level obtained with hrTNF). In contrast, AM supernatants from asthmatics at baseline or exhibiting, after challenge, a single early reaction had no significant effect on these parameters (P = NS in both cases, respectively 23.5% and 24.7% of the ICAM-1 expression, 22.7% and 15.3% of the ELAM-1 expression obtained with hrTNF). AM-derived TNF present in these supernatants was thought to play a key role in endothelial cell stimulation, since: (i) TNF concentration in AM supernatants correlated with its effect on ICAM-1 (r = 0.80, P < 10(-4)) and ELAM-1 expression (r = 0.88, P < 10(-5)); and (ii) a neutralizing anti-TNF antibody decreased their effect (68% and 80% respectively on ICAM-1 and ELAM-1 expression). Moreover, the role of IL-6 was excluded on the basis both of the hrIL-6 inefficiency to induce ICAM-1 and ELAM-1 synthesis, even in costimulation with hrTNF, and of anti-IL-6 antibody to neutralize the effect of AM supernatants. Our results suggest that, beside mast cells and lymphocytes, macrophages might participate in the induction of the local inflammatory reaction observed in bronchial asthma. During the LAR, cytokines and especially TNF are able, through an enhanced adhesion molecule expression on endothelial cells, to facilitate the bronchial cellular influx. 相似文献

Adhesive interactions between endothelium and circulating cells, such as monocytes, neutrophils and lymphocytes, are crucial for localizing the inflammatory response. We investigated the inflammatory response of rectal mucosa to local gluten challenge as a dynamic model of antigen-induced tissue injury, during which the expression of adhesion molecules on leucocytes and endothelial cells could be sequentially observed. Expression of ELAM-1, ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 was monitored in 10 treated and eight untreated patients with gluten sensitivity (coeliac disease), and in five disease controls for up to 4 h (short challenge), while a further seven treated coeliacs were monitored for up to 24 h (long challenge) following rectal gluten challenge. In the former, the expression of VCAM-1 and ELAM-1 was significantly raised 4 h after gluten challenge compared with controls. VCAM-1 and ELAM-1 expression was also increased in mucosae of treated patients, but to a lesser extent. VCAM-1 expression continued to increase for up to 24 h after gluten, while ELAM-1 had begun to wane by 4 h, reaching basal levels by 24 h. In contrast, the expression of ICAM-1 did not change in any of the disease groups studied. These findings relate to significant increases in lymphocytes (CD3+ cells) after 8 h, and neutrophils (CD15+ cells) after 4 h in the lamina propria. This approach has permitted novel studies of the inflammatory response to a defined antigen in sensitized (gluten-sensitive) human patients. 相似文献

Lymphocyte recruitment into tissues involves interactions between adhesion molecules on vascular endothelial cells and corresponding ligands on the lymphocyte surface. In the present study we investigated the expression of four endothelial addressins in the vagina and their possible up-regulation by interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) in immune mice after vaginal challenge with herpes simplex virus type 2. The adhesion molecules intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) were minimally expressed in the vagina of non-immune mice with or without vaginal challenge and in immune mice before challenge, but both were up-regulated by IFN-gamma, directly or indirectly, in immune mice after challenge. Mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule-1 (MAdCAM-1) was detected in most vaginas but was not up-regulated by IFN-gamma in immune mice after virus challenge. E-selectin was not detected in any vaginas. The results suggest that ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 may be involved in rapid, IFN-gamma-mediated recruitment of lymphocytes to the vaginal mucosal of immune mice after local virus challenge. 相似文献

The immunocytochemical expression of intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM-1), endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule (ELAM-1), endothelial cell adhesion molecule (EndoCAM CD31), and HLA-DR antigens was investigated in sections of 24 reactive lymph nodes and in 15 cases of Hodgkin's disease. ICAM-1 was detected in sinus macrophages, follicular dendritic reticulum cells (FDRCs), interdigitating reticulum cells (IDRCs), epithelioid macrophages, Hodgkin's cells (HCs), and vascular endothelium. ICAM-1 expression was often associated with that of HLA-DR antigens. VCAM-1 was detected in FDRCs, in fibroblast reticulum cells (FRCs), in macrophages, and in rare blood vessels. EndoCAM (CD31) was constitutively expressed in all types of endothelial cells, sinus macrophages, and in epithelioid granulomas. ELAM-1 was selectively expressed by activated endothelial cells of high endothelium venules (HEVs). When expression of the inducible adhesion molecules ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and ELAM-1 was comparatively evaluated in HEVs, it was found that ICAM-1 + HEVs were present in all reactive and HD nodes, whereas ELAM-1 and/or VCAM-1 were expressed only in those pathologic conditions characterized by high levels of interleukin-1/tumor necrosis factor (IL-1/TNF) production, such as granulomatosis and Hodgkin's disease. In Hodgkin's disease, the expression of ELAM-1/VCAM-1 was more pronounced in cases of nodular sclerosis and was associated with a significantly higher content of perivascular neutrophils. 相似文献

Effect of human cytomegalovirus and glucose on adhesion molecules expression in cultured human endothelial cells 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
The aim this study was to investigate the effect of glucose on the induction of adhesion molecules by Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) in endothelial cells in vitro. Primary cultures of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) pretreated with 16.5 mmol/l glucose for 24 hrs were infected with a HCMV strain with tropism for endothelial cells. Expression of adhesion nmolecules (ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and ELAM-1) was measured by flow cytometry. While high concentrations of glucoseperse activated the expression of all three adhesion molecules tested, HCMV induced the expression of ICAM-1 only. Moreover, it potentiated the expression of ICAM-1 in glucose-pretreated HUVECs, while it did not affect at all or slightly suppressed the glucose-activated expression of VCAM-1 and ELAM-1. The modulatory effect of glucose and HCMV on the expression of adhesion molecules in endothelial cells may be applied in increased vulnerability to patients with diabetes mellitus or atherosclerosis. 相似文献

Endothelium is central to the cellular infiltration that develops during inflammation, and a prominent feature of its involvement is the expression of adhesion molecules for circulating leukocytes. In the present study, we assessed the kinetics of endothelial adhesion molecule expression during the cutaneous endotoxin response in baboons. Immunostained cryostat sections and hematoxylin and eosin-stained paraffin sections of skin biopsies were examined using set scoring systems to provide semiquantitative data on the changes in endothelial phenotype and induced polymorphonuclear leucocyte (PMN) accumulation. Endothelium in control skin did not express endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule (ELAM)-1 but did show a relatively weak expression of intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1. By 2 hours after injection of endotoxin (500 mcg of Escherichia coli-derived lipopolysaccharide), a marked expression of ELAM-1 developed that was associated with concurrent extensive adhesion and extravasation of PMN. The ELAM-1 expression subsequently decreased and was virtually absent by 9 hours. Mean scores for endothelial expression of ICAM-1 changed comparatively little over this time course, and mononuclear cell accumulation was minimal. The response to endotoxin differs from that to tumor necrosis factor injection; the latter causes sustained ELAM-1 expression, and delayed but pronounced increases in ICAM-1, with accompanying mononuclear cell extravasation. Thus, local endotoxin administration provides a model of acute inflammation in which PMN accumulation is associated with striking endothelial expression of ELAM-1. In this model, appreciable elevations in ICAM-1 expression are unnecessary for PMN infiltration. 相似文献

TAO is an autoimmune condition characterized by mononuclear cell infiltration of the extraocular muscles (EOM) and/or the orbital fat/connective tissue with associated deposition of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) in the interstitial spaces. In this study, the presence and distribution of the vascular adhesion molecules intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), endothelial-leucocyte adhesion molecule-1 (ELAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and the leucocyte integrins CD11a/CD18, CD11b/CD18, CD11c/CD18 were investigated. Nineteen EOM biopsies were collected from 17 patients with early (n = 6) and late (n = 13) TAO as well as from 12 non-TAO control patients. Consecutive cryostat sections of these biopsies were immunostained with MoAbs to the above-mentioned molecules and haematoxylin and eosin. Primary antibody binding was visualized using an avidin-biotin system. In early untreated TAO specimens, the interstitial and perimysial connective tissue surrounding EOM fibres and numerous mononuclear cells stained strongly for ICAM-1. In contrast, the vascular endothelial cells (ulex lectin-positive) stained strongly for ELAM-1 (E-selectin), VCAM-1 as well as ICAM-1. In late disease, the same distribution of immunoreactivity for ICAM-1, ELAM-1 and VCAM-1 was observed, but with significantly lower staining. The leucocyte integrins (CD11a, CD11b, CD11c) were again expressed at significantly higher levels in early TAO specimens compared with late TAO specimens and were minimal or absent in the EOM biopsies harvested from control patients. In conclusion, increased expression of adhesion molecules studied correlated with early active disease and was reduced in later stages. 相似文献

The inducible adhesion molecules mediate important functions in the lymphoid tissues. We have investigated the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), endothelial leucocyte adhesion molecule 1 (ELAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1), and platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule (PECAM/CD31), using immunocytochemistry on cryostat sections of five lymph nodes from patients with Castleman's disease of the hyaline-vascular type. All five cases were characterized by marked hyperplasia of follicular dendritic reticulum cells, which were extensively present even in the mantle zone. Hyperplastic follicular dendritic reticulum cells showed marked expression of VCAM-1, and weak expression of ICAM-1. In two cases, several dysplastic giant cells with aberrant, polyploid nuclei showed aberrant expression of ELAM-1, an endothelium-restricted molecule. Dysplastic giant cells were positive with DRC-1 (an antibody to dendritic reticulum cells), VCAM-1 and occasionally ICAM-1, were negative for the endothelial cell markers factor VIII-related antigen and CD31 and were non-proliferating (Kl-67-). Cells positive for ICAM-1 or VCAM-1 were rare in the interfollicular areas. In all cases vascular hyperplasia was prominent, but endothelial cells were poorly activated in terms of expression of inducible adhesion molecules and of HLA-DR antigens. The possibility that dysplastic follicular dendritic reticulum cells have a pathogenetic role in Castleman's disease is discussed. 相似文献

The expression of the intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and its ligand lymphocyte function associated antigen-1 (LFA-1 or αL), the vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule-1 (ELAM-1), and the cellular receptors for extracellular matrix, α 1, α 2, α 3, α 5, α 6, α V, β 1, and β3 integrin subunits, was studied in 28 patients with crescentic glomerulonephritis (GN) related to several mechanisms: four patients with anti-glomerular basement membrane antibodies or anti-GBM disease; 16 with immune complex mediated GN; and eight with pauci-immune GN, associated with vasculitis in four cases. A three-step immunoperoxidase technique was used on sections obtained from frozen renal biopsies. At the initial stage of evolution of the lesions, all the cells of the crescents expressed the β 1, β 3, α 1, α 3, and α V subunits of integrins, ICAM-1, and VCAM-1, and some cells expressed the α 2, α 5, α 6, and αL subunits of integrins along the plasma membrane. At a later stage, when the crescents were fibrocellular, α 3 and α1 subunit expression was polarized, localized mainly in front of the extracellular matrix. In fibrotic crescents, the α 2, α 5, α 6, and αL chains were no longer detected, and VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 expression was decreased. VCAM-1 and ELAM-1 appeared on endothelial cells of peritubular capillaries in relation to the appearance of infiltrating inflammatory cells. The results of this study show that several adhesion molecules were expressed on cells forming crescents and were modified during crescent evolution; that these molecules were up-regulated on endothelial cells in relation to the severity of the inflammatory response; and that whatever the mechanism of the glomerulonephritis, adhesion molecule expression was identical. It can be postulated that adhesion molecules play a role in crescentic glomerulonephritis. Better knowledge of these molecules in human glomerulonephritis may open the way to a new therapeutic approach. 相似文献

Cetirizine modulates adhesion molecule expression in a double-blind controlled study conducted in psoriatic patients 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory T-cell-mediated immune dermatosis, characterized by the cutaneous expression of adhesion molecules belonging to the beta1 and beta2 integrin subfamilies, such as intracellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1, ICAM-3, lymphocyte function associated antigen (LFA)-1, vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1 and endothelial adhesion molecule (ELAM)-1. Cetirizine is a nonsedating, selective H1-receptor antagonist, whose therapeutic efficacy is probably the result of its effect on both the immediate allergic reaction and the late-phase allergic response. The aim of this study was to investigate adhesion molecule expression (ICAM-1, ICAM-3, VCAM-1, LFA-1 and ELAM-1) by using an immunophosphatase alkaline (APAAP) technique in a double-blind controlled study. Nineteen patients with active psoriasis vulgaris minima were randomized into two groups: group A (two men and six women, aged 22-59 years) was treated with cetirizine (30 mg a day, 3 times a day for 15 days) and group B (three men and eight women, aged 24-72 years) were administered placebo. Positive cells were counted by two independent and blinded observers and at least three adjacent high-power fields (250 X) were analyzed. In group A, ICAM-1-positive cells decreased from 75.8 (SE +/- 15.12) to 38.8 (SE +/- 7.57) ICAM-3-positive cells decreased from 61.7 (SE +/- 12.72) to 45.2 (SE +/- 9.44) and LFA-1 decreased from 103.9 (SE +/- 17.34) to 66.5 (SE +/- 8.63) after cetirizine treatment (p = 0.02). In group B, a nonsignificant reduction was found after placebo administration in the expression of adhesion molecules except for ELAM-1, which showed a slight variation, from 23.4 (SE +/- 3.56) to 21.5 (SE +/- 3.26). The reduction in the expression of adhesion molecules in psoriasis after cetirizine treatment suggests a possible inhibitory effect of this drug on some cell surface proteins and subsequently on the migration of inflammatory cells in psoriatic skin lesions. Our findings support its antiinflammatory effect in addition to its H1-blocking activity. 相似文献

Vascular expressed adhesion molecules mediate leukocyte reactivity and activation by receptor-ligand binding. A number of different ligand molecules have been identified to mediate the interaction between endothelial cells and leukocyte subpopulations. In this study, the tissue expression of ELAM-1, CD62 (PADGEM, GMP-140), VACM-1 (INCAM-110), ICAM-2, ICAM-1, and LFA-3 was analyzed on various liver endothelial cell types by immunohistology. The results reveal a differential expression of these molecules in normal liver and inflammation or rejection after liver transplantation. The selectins ELAM-1 and CD62 are basally expressed and inducible on portal tract endothelia (arterial and venous) and central vein endothelia with acute and chronic liver inflammation. Sinusoidal endothelia, however, lack this mechanism, even with severe inflammation, as in cases of irreversible rejection and sepsis. Portal and sinusoidal endothelia show a different expression and inducibility of VCAM-1, ICAM-1, ICAM-2, and LFA-3. The differences in expression of adhesion molecules on liver endothelial cell types may reflect their ability to regulate leukocyte trafficking and activation by means of the expression of specific ligand molecules. The inability of sinusoidal endothelia to express selectins may have implications for the pathophysiology of liver graft infiltration. 相似文献

Intraepithelial lymphocyte migration is a biological process frequently observed in skin and tonsil. Using immuno-histochemistry, we have studied the molecular bases of this process in seven skin biopsies involved by mycosis fungoides (MF) and in 12 tonsils, four involved by B-chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (B-CLL) and eight by lymphoid follicular hyperplasia (LH). In the skin, intraepidermal T-lymphocyte infiltration was associated with narrowing and fragmentation of the basement membrane, as shown by an anti-collagen type IV antibody. Immunostaining of serial sections with an anti-collagenase type IV antibody revealed that collagenase type IV was localized in the upper dermis and Strictly co-distributed with collagen type IV, suggesting that enzymatic digestion played a role in the alterations of the basement membrane. Further migration through the epidermis was mediated by expression on keratinocytes of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and of leukocyte-function associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) on infiltrating lymphocytes. In the tonsil, intraepithelial infiltration was mediated by the expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) by epithelial cells and of very late antigen-4 (VLA-4) by infiltrating lymphocytes. Further intraepithelial lymphocyte migration was then established, as already shown in the skin, by ICAM-1/LFA-1 interaction. Lymphocyte recruitment from the systemic circulation was studied using antibodies directed against endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule-1 (ELAM-1), ICAM-1, and VCAM-1. These adhesion molecules were highly expressed by blood vessels in the upper dermis of MF and the percentage of ELAM-1 +/VCAM-1 + vessels was significantly higher than that observed in tonsils. Our data suggest that distinct molecular mechanisms are used by lymphocytes in intraepithelial migration in the skin and in tonsils. 相似文献

Activation of certain adhesion molecules within vascular endothelium and the surrounding extravascular space is a critical event in the recruitment and targeting of an inflammatory response or autoimmune attack to a particular tissue site. We have recently demonstrated that the adhesion of lymphocytes to cultured retroocular fibroblasts obtained from patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO) is mediated predominantly by the interaction of lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1), expressed on lymphocytes, with intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), expressed by these cells following exposure to interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), IL-1 alpha or purified thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulins. We now report the expression and localization in situ of several adhesion molecules, ICAM-1, endothelial leucocyte adhesion molecule-1 (ELAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), and LFA-3 in retroocular tissues derived from patients with severe GO (n = 4) and normal individuals (n = 3). Serial cryostat sections of tissue specimens were processed for immunoperoxidase staining using various MoAbs against ICAM-1, ELAM-1, VCAM-1 and LFA-3. In addition, consecutive sections were stained with MoAbs against LFA-1, CD45RO (UCHL-1)DR-human leucocyte antigen (HLA-DR), CD11b/CD18 (Mac-1), and CD11c/CD18 (p150,95). In GO-retroocular tissues, strong immunoreactivity for ICAM-1 and LFA-3 was detected in blood vessels (> 90%), in perimysial fibroblasts surrounding extraocular muscle fibres, and in connective tissue distinct from extraocular muscle. No ICAM-1 or LFA-3 immunoreactivity was present in extraocular muscle cells themselves. ICAM-1 and LFA-3 immunoreactivity in normal tissues was minimal or absent both in connective and muscle tissues. Vascular endothelium was strongly positive for ELAM-1 and VCAM-1 in GO-retroocular tissues, while VCAM-1 immunoreactivity was minimal (< 5% of blood vessels) and ELAM-1 immunoreactivity was generally absent in normal retroocular tissue. LFA-1-expressing, activated mononuclear cells and memory T lymphocytes (CD3+/CD45RO+) were only detected in GO-retrocular tissues, and were mainly localized around blood vessels and in areas of ICAM-1-expressing connective and perimysial tissue. HLA-DR expression was restricted to GO-tissue specimens, with strong immunoreactivity detected in blood vessels, macrophages and connective tissue and perimysial fibroblasts. No HLA-DR was detectable in extraocular muscle cells. In conclusion, infiltration of the orbit in GO by mononuclear cells, and their targeting within the orbit, may depend upon the coordinate expression of certain adhesion and MHC molecules.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

A previous study reported that intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression by human vascular endothelial cells (HUVEC) is augmented by intracellular signal transmission mainly through the protein kinase C (PKC) system stimulated by TXA2 receptors. In the present study, we show that a TXA2 receptor agonist, U46619, augments the expression of not only ICAM-1, but also vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) or endothelial leucocyte adhesion molecule-1 (ELAM-1) in HUVEC both at protein and mRNA levels. Pretreatment with SQ29,548 (a TXA2 receptor antagonist) or PKC inhibitors greatly diminished the extent of U46619-induced mRNA accumulation and surface expression of the adhesion molecules. An inhibitor of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) activation, PDTC, diminishes U46619-induced VCAM-1 mRNA accumulation. NAC, which inhibits NF-κB and activation protein 1 (AP-1) binding activity, inhibits the expression of ICAM-1 or ELAM-1 at protein and mRNA levels. These findings suggest that ICAM-1 or ELAM-1 expression of HUVEC stimulated via TXA2 receptors is augmented by induction of NF-κB and AP-1 binding activity through the PKC system, and that VCAM-1 expression is augmented by induction of NF-κB binding activity. 相似文献

The delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction (DHR) in human skin is prototypic for many inflammatory dermatoses. However the cellular events that precede gross lesion formation are unknown. In this study, inflammatory cell populations and adhesion molecule expression in early phases of DHR elicited by 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene were evaluated. The first discernible event (at 1 hour) was mast cell degranulation, followed by induction of endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule (ELAM-1) expression on dermal postcapillary venules at 2 hours. Endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule expression peaked at 24 hours and declined by 48 hours. In contrast, endothelial expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) remained at constitutive levels. Intrafollicular T-cell migration occurred independent of ICAM-1 expression and commenced as early as 4 hours after challenge. Mature, activated CD4-positive lymphocytes that expressed a helper-inducer/memory phenotype predominated in early lesions. These results demonstrate in vivo that mast cell degranulation, ELAM-1 expression, and memory T-cell-follicular interactions are key events in subclinical evolutionary stages of cutaneous DHR. 相似文献

The authors have compared the reactivity of monoclonal antibodies (MAb) directed against endothelial adhesion molecules (ICAM-1, ICAM-2, VCAM-1, ELAM-1) in hyperplastic, nonmalignant, and malignant lymph nodes. The authors demonstrate that the reactivity with ICAM-1 MAb is stronger in the high endothelial venules (HEV) and other smaller vessels (SV) in lymphomas compared with hyperplastic lymph nodes. Similarly, the reactivity of an ICAM-2 MAb (6D5) was shown to be higher in malignant lymph nodes compared with nonmalignant ones. ICAM-2 MAb stained both the HEV and SV. VCAM-1 MAb reacted strongly with germinal centers and its endothelial reactivity was higher in the lymphoma nodes. ELAM-1 MAb stained only faintly some endothelial cells in malignant tissue. These data suggest that besides the known regulatable endothelial adhesion molecules ICAM-1 and VCAM-1, the expression of ICAM-2 can be modified. 相似文献

The mechanism(s) and the factor(s) that contribute to preferential localization of fixed drug eruption (FDE) lesions to certain skin sites remain speculative. Previous studies suggested that populations of T cells residing in the lesional epidermis may be involved in selective destruction of the epidermis in FDE. In this study, to define the earliest cellular and molecular events with potential relevance to activation of the epidermal T cells, expression of adhesion molecules on keratinocytes (KC) and vascular endothelium was examined sequentially in the lesional skin of FDE patients after challenge with the causative drug. Rapid and intense intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression was induced on the vascular endothelium and KC as early as 1.5 hours after challenge, at which time E-selectin and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) were not up-regulated. In vitro studies using skin organ culture showed that the lesional KC and endothelium responded more rapidly and intensely to express ICAM-1 to tumor necrosis factor-alpha or interferon-gamma compared with those in the nonlesional skin. Surprisingly, such selective induction of KC ICAM-1 restricted to the lesional skin was also observed after exposure to the causative drug alone in skin organ culture. Pretreatment of the lesional skin with anti-tumor necrosis factor completely abrogated in vitro induction of KC ICAM-1 expression by the drug. Drug-induced, TNF-alpha-dependent KC ICAM-1 expression in the lesional skin suggests that induction of ICAM-1 expression by the lesional KC after ingestion of the drug would probably provide a localized initiating stimulus for activation of the disease-associated epidermal T cells. 相似文献

This review will discuss a number of specific cell adhesion molecules present on the surface of endothelial and epithelial cells in the lung. Molecules such as integrins, proteoglycans, and the hyaluronic acid receptor, CD44, are found on the abluminal or basement membrane side of the cell and function as cell-substratum receptors. Cadherins, integrins, and platelet-endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) are present at the cell-cell borders of adjacent endothelial and/or epithelial cells and function to initiate or maintain cell-cell adhesion. Finally, a number of inducible cell adhesion molecules such as endothelial-leukocyte adhesion molecule-1 (ELAM-1), granule-associated membrane protein 140 (GMP140), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) are expressed on the luminal surfaces of these cells during inflammation and function as cell-cell adhesion molecules important in white blood cell, platelet, or tumor cell adhesion. These adhesion molecules likely play important roles in maintaining the normal structure and function of the lung, as well as participating in pulmonary processes such as inflammation, wound healing, and the development and spread of malignant disease. 相似文献
