Adhesion molecules and inflammatory injury.
Neutrophil-endothelial cell interactions are mediated by interacting sets of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) and chemoattractant/activator molecules to form an "adhesion cascade." The initial phase of inflammation, a transient slowing of neutrophils in postcapillary venules, is mediated by selectins. Subsequently, firm adhesion of neutrophils to the vessel wall occurs via interaction of the CD11...
متن کاملAdhesion molecules in inflammatory bowel disease.
The ability of leucocytes to adhere to endothelium is essential for leucocyte migration into inflammatory sites. Some of these adhesion molecules are released from the cell surface and can be detected in serum. The soluble adhesion molecules intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), E selectin, and vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) were studied in the serum of patients with Crohn's d...
متن کاملPentoxifylline Decreases Serum Level of Adhesion Molecules in Atherosclerosis Patients
Background: Inflammation is involved in development, progression, and complications of atherosclerotic disease. Clinical studies have indicated that the level of monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), IL-18, and adhesion molecules correlates with the severity of atherosclerosis and can predict future cardiovascular events. Experimental studies have shown pentoxifylline (PTX) reduces these ...
متن کاملSignaling through focal adhesion kinase.
Integrin receptor binding to extracellular matrix proteins generates intracellular signals via enhanced tyrosine phosphorylation events that are important for cell growth, survival, and migration. This review will focus on the functions of the focal adhesion kinase (FAK) protein-tyrosine kinase (PTK) and its role in linking integrin receptors to intracellular signaling pathways. FAK associates ...
متن کاملCompartmentalized roles for leukocytic adhesion molecules in lung inflammatory injury.
By using the model of acute injury caused by intrapulmonary deposition of IgG immune complexes, blocking mAb to CD11a, CD11b, L-selectin, and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) were administered either i.v. or intratracheally (i.t.). The effects of these interventions were assessed according to lung injury, lung content of myeloperoxidase (MPO), TNF-alpha, and cellular content in bronch...
