ICAM-1 signaling in endothelial cells.
Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1; CD54) is a 90 kDa member of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily and is critical for the firm arrest and transmigration of leukocytes out of blood vessels and into tissues. ICAM-1 is constitutively present on endothelial cells, but its expression is increased by proinflammatory cytokines. The endothelial expression of ICAM-1 is increased in atherosclero...
متن کاملRadiation-induced expression of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 in cerebral endothelial cells
Background: Radiation-induced molecular changes on the endothelial surface of brain arteriovenous malformations (AVM) may be used as markers for specific vascular targeting agents. In this study, we examined the level of expression of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) on brain endothelial cell surface after radiation treatment, with the aim of targeting the radiation-induc...
متن کاملCd44 Enhances Neuregulin Signaling by Schwann Cells
We describe a key role for the CD44 transmembrane glycoprotein in Schwann cell-neuron interactions. CD44 proteins have been implicated in cell adhesion and in the presentation of growth factors to high affinity receptors. We observed high CD44 expression in early rat neonatal nerves at times when Schwann cells proliferate but low expression in adult nerves, where CD44 was found in some nonmyeli...
متن کاملNeuregulin 1 Type II-ErbB Signaling Promotes Cell Divisions Generating Neurons from Neural Progenitor Cells in the Developing Zebrafish Brain
Post-mitotic neurons are generated from neural progenitor cells (NPCs) at the expense of their proliferation. Molecular and cellular mechanisms that regulate neuron production temporally and spatially should impact on the size and shape of the brain. While transcription factors such as neurogenin1 (neurog1) and neurod govern progression of neurogenesis as cell-intrinsic mechanisms, recent studi...
متن کاملSignaling the brain in inflammation: the role of endothelial cells.
Peripheral inflammation signals the brain primarily via blood-borne proinflammatory cytokines, released from activated immune cells. In addition to these cytokines, immune-brain signaling is known to involve another key mediator, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), the level of which is elevated in the brain during various inflammatory states and which acts to influence the central neuronal activity to ev...
