Upregulation of aortic adhesion molecules during aging.
To investigate effects of aging on adhesion molecules (AMs), the present study assessed the expressions of aortic P-selectin and vascular adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) in young (6-month-old) and old (24-month-old) Fischer 344 rats fed ad libitum (AL) or calorie-restricted diets. Results showed increased levels of aortic P-selectin and VCAM-1 in the old AL rats, causing excessive leukocyte infilt...
متن کاملEarly upregulation of endothelial adhesion molecules in obese hypertensive men.
Upregulation of endothelial adhesion molecules is the earliest step of atherogenesis. Whether obesity induces endothelial adhesin upregulation is unknown. To address this topic, circulating vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), E-selectin, and von Willebrand factor (vWF) concentrations were evaluated in 22 obese hypertensive (51.4+/-4.6 years [m...
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 کاملIncreased monocyte adhesion to aortic endothelium in rats with hyperhomocysteinemia: role of chemokine and adhesion molecules.
OBJECTIVE The stimulatory effect of homocysteine (Hcy) on monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 expression in vitro has been suggested to play an important role in Hcy-mediated atherosclerosis. We investigated whether such a stimulatory effect occurs in vivo, leading to monocyte adhesion to the endothelium. METHODS AND RESULTS Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 4 groups. Hyperhomocystei...
متن کاملCellular Adhesion and Adhesion Molecules
In recent years, cell adhesion and cell adhesion molecules have been shown to be important for many normal biological processes, including embryonic cell migration, immune system functions and wound healing. It has also been shown that they contribute to the pathogenesis of a large number of common human disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis and tumor cell metastasis in cancer. In this review...
