Glutaredoxin Regulates Nuclear Factor κ-B and Intercellular Adhesion Molecule in Müller Cells

Soluble Intercellular Adhesion Molecule

Previous studies have suggested that intercellular ad¬ hesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1, CD54) may be involved in the pathogenesis ofasthma. In addition, a soluble form of ICAM-1 (sICAM-1) has been detected in increased concentrations in the sera of patients with certain in¬ flammatory conditions. To determine whether bron¬ chial asthma is associated with increased levels of sICAM-1 in serum and to as...

Depletion of intracellular GTP results in nuclear factor-kappaB activation and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 expression in human endothelial cells.

The expression of the intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) on the surface of endothelial cells plays an important role in immune-mediated processes. The induction by the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-1beta is regulated by nuclear transcription factor kappaB (NF-kappaB). We studied the effect of an inosine-5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) inhibitor, mycophenolic acid (MPA...

Endothelial intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-2 regulates angiogenesis.

Endothelial junctions maintain endothelial integrity and vascular homeostasis. They modulate cell trafficking into tissues, mediate cell-cell contact and regulate endothelial survival and apoptosis. Junctional adhesion molecules such as vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin and CD31/platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule (PECAM) mediate contact between adjacent endothelial cells and regulate ...
