چکیده
Immune complex (IC)-induced inflammation is mediated by inflammatory cell infiltration, a process that is highly regulated by expression of multiple adhesion molecules. The roles and interactions of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1, the major regulators of leukocyte firm adhesion, were examined in the cutaneous reverse-passive Arthus reaction using ICAM-1-deficient (ICAM-1-/-) mice and blocking mAb against VCAM-1. Within 8 h, IC challenge of wild-type mice induced edema, hemorrhage, interstitial accumulation of neutrophils and mast cells, as well as production of TNF-alpha and IL-6. All of these inflammatory parameters were reduced significantly in ICAM-1-/- mice. The blockade of VCAM-1 in wild-type mice did not affect any inflammatory parameters. In contrast, ICAM-1-/- mice treated with anti-VCAM-1 mAb had significantly reduced edema, hemorrhage, and neutrophil infiltration. Furthermore, VCAM-1 blockade in ICAM-1-/- mice suppressed cutaneous TNF-alpha and IL-6 production. Thus, VCAM-1 plays a complementary role to ICAM-1 in the cutaneous Arthus reaction by regulating leukocyte accumulation and proinflammatory cytokine production.

The cutaneous reverse Arthus reaction requires intercellular adhesion molecule 1 and L-selectin expression.
The deposition of immune complexes (IC) induces an acute inflammatory response with tissue injury. IC-induced inflammation is mediated by inflammatory cell infiltration, a process highly regulated by expression of multiple adhesion molecules. To assess the role of L-selectin and ICAM-1 in this pathogenetic process, the cutaneous reverse passive Arthus reaction was examined in mice lacking L-sel...

اثر یک دوره تمرین هوازی بر شاخصهای عملکرد اندوتلیالی زنان یائسه مبتلا به پرفشار خونی
Background & Aims : Aging and the loss of endogenous estrogen production after menopause are accompanied by increases in blood pressure and endothelial dysfunction. Exercise training improves endothelial function in patients with hypertension. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of aerobic training on some markers of endothelial function in hypertensive postmenopausal women. M...
متن کاملCarbamylated low-density lipoprotein induces monocyte adhesion to endothelial cells through intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1.
OBJECTIVE Carbamylated low-density lipoprotein (LDL), the most abundant modified LDL isoform in human blood, has been recently implicated in causing the atherosclerosis-prone injuries to endothelial cells in vitro and atherosclerosis in humans. This study was aimed at testing the hypothesis that carbamylated LDL acts via inducing monocyte adhesion to endothelial cells and determining the adhesi...

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 ...
