چکیده

BACKGROUND Elevated levels of soluble cellular adhesion molecules have been linked to the development of occlusive coronary events in otherwise healthy individuals. It is not certain, however, whether similar relationships exist for the development of early systemic atherosclerosis. METHODS AND RESULTS In a prospective, nested case-control study conducted among 14 916 middle-aged men, we evaluated the relationship between baseline levels of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1), soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1), and the subsequent development of symptomatic peripheral arterial disease (PAD) during a 9-year follow-up period. Median levels of sICAM-1 but not sVCAM-1 were significantly higher at baseline among men who developed PAD than among those who did not (285.2 versus 267.8 ng/mL [P=0.005] for sICAM-1 and 701.0 versus 709.3 ng/mL [P=0.8] for sVCAM-1). In analyses adjusted for age and smoking, the odds ratio in the highest compared with the lowest quartile of sICAM-1 was 3.9 (95% CI 1.7 to 8.6; P(trend)=0.001). After additional adjustment for lipid and nonlipid risk factors, including C-reactive protein, elevated sICAM-1 remained significantly associated with subsequent PAD (OR 3.5, 95% CI 1.4 to 8.5, P(trend)=0.008). Whereas a monotonic dose-response relationship was evident over the full spectrum of ICAM-1 levels, elevated sVCAM-1 was not associated with future PAD in either age- and smoking-adjusted or fully adjusted models. CONCLUSIONS Elevated levels of sICAM-1 are independently associated with the development of accelerated atherosclerosis among otherwise healthy men even in the absence of acute coronary occlusion.

Measurement of soluble adhesion molecules in primary Raynaud's phenomenon and in Raynaud's phenomenon secondary to connective tissue diseases.

Adhesion molecules play a role in the inflammation and pathogenesis of vascular diseases. In 13 patients with primary Raynaud's phenomenon, 19 with Raynaud's phenomenon associated with connective tissue disease, and 16 control subjects, we measured plasma levels of soluble forms of intercellular adhesion molecule-1, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, E-selectin, and von Willebrand factor.

Soluble adhesion molecules and prediction of coronary heart disease: a prospective study and meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND Previous studies have suggested that circulating concentrations of soluble adhesion molecules are useful predictors of risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Larger studies are needed, however, to test this hypothesis. METHODS We measured serum concentrations of four soluble cell adhesion molecules (intercellular adhesion molecule-1 [ICAM-1], vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 [VCAM-...

A circadian variation exists for soluble levels of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and E-selectin in healthy volunteers.

1. We have previously shown a circadian variation in leucocyte activation and endothelial function which may explain why some inflammatory and vascular diseases show a circadian variation in disease activity/ occurrence. 2. We have investigated the circadian variation of two soluble cell adhesion molecules, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and E-selectin, in 10 healthy volunteers. Soluble inte...
