MicroRNA-126 regulates endothelial expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule 1.
Adhesion molecules expressed by activated endothelial cells play a key role in regulating leukocyte trafficking to sites of inflammation. Resting endothelial cells normally do not express adhesion molecules, but cytokines activate endothelial cells to express adhesion molecules such as vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1), which mediate leukocyte adherence to endothelial cells. We now sho...
متن کاملChemokines, chemokine receptors and adhesion molecules on different human endothelia: discriminating the tissue-specific functions that affect leucocyte migration.
The selective accumulation of different leucocyte populations during inflammation is regulated by adhesion molecules and chemokines expressed by vascular endothelium. This study examined how chemokine production and the expression of adhesion molecules and chemokine receptors vary between endothelia from different vascular beds. Human saphenous vein endothelium was compared with lung and dermal...
متن کاملVascular inflammation in central nervous system diseases: adhesion receptors controlling leukocyte-endothelial interactions.
Leukocyte trafficking from the blood into the tissues represents a key process during inflammation and requires multiple steps mediated by adhesion molecules and chemoattractants. Inflammation has a detrimental role in several diseases, and in such cases, the molecular mechanisms controlling leukocyte migration are potential therapeutic targets. Over the past 20 years, leukocyte migration in th...
متن کاملEndothelial Driven Inflammation in Metabolic Disease: A Dissertation
Obesity has been on the rise over the last 30 years, reaching worldwide epidemic proportions. Obesity has been linked to multiple metabolic disorders and co-morbidities such as Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), cardiovascular disease, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and various cancers. Furthermore, obesity is associated with a chronic state of low-grade inflammation in adipose tissue (AT), and it...
متن کاملLymphocyte trafficking mediated by vascular adhesion protein-1: implications for immune targeting and cardiovascular disease.
The trafficking, extravasation, and retention of lymphocytes within certain tissues (eg, lymph nodes) seem to be mediated by several classes of specialized adhesion glycoproteins that are expressed on the surface of unique endothelial cells (high endothelial venules [HEVs]) that exist in both the blood and lymph microvessels.1,2 The binding of these endothelial cell adhesion molecules to their ...
