radiation-induced expression of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 in cerebral endothelial cells
Authors
abstract
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-induced pecam-1 on the avm endothelium with pro-thrombotic agents to selectively occlude avm vessels. materials and methods: mouse cerebral endothelial cells (bend.3) were irradiated with 5, 15, or 25 gy. real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (pcr) and in-cell enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) were performed to quantify the temporal gene and surface pecam-1 protein expression up to 168 hours post-irradiation. two-tailed unpaired t-tests were used to determine statistical significance. results: pecam-1 gene expression was found to be significantly elevated post-irradiation in real-time quantitative pcr, with the maximum level of gene expression being evident at 120 hours post-irradiation representing an 11-fold increase in comparison to non-irradiated controls (p<0.001). in-cell elisa detected a similar up-regulation for protein expression on the cell surface with delayed peak time. conclusion: ionising radiation can induce the up-regulation of pecam-1 on brain endothelial cell surface. this protein may be a potential candidate for facilitating selective avm vessel occlusion through the application of radiosurgery followed by vascular targeting.

Lung injury is a frequent consequence of oxygen (O2) therapy administered to newborns and adults with respiratory distress. Acute exposure to hyperoxia results in a well-described pathophysiologic response in the lungs. Because inflammation is an important component of pulmonary O2 toxicity, we have an interest in identifying the inflammatory mediators that increase during hyperoxia. Platelet-e...

asthma is considered as a chronic inflammatory airway disease and defined as increased tracheobronchial responsiveness to variety of stimuli. edema and inflammatory cell infiltration in airway is observed in the asthmatic patients. one of the essential changes in inflammation is adhesion of leukocyte to endothelium and transmigration of leukocytes to the sites of inflammation. unfortunately, li...
full textEvidence for a role of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 in endothelial cell mechanosignal transduction
Fluid shear stress (FSS) induces many forms of responses, including phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) in endothelial cells (ECs). We have earlier reported rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) in ECs exposed to FSS. Osmotic changes also induced similar PECAM-1 and ERK phosphorylation with nearly identical kinetics....
full textPPARalpha activators inhibit cytokine-induced vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 expression in human endothelial cells.
BACKGROUND Adhesion molecule expression on the endothelial cell (EC) surface is critical for leukocyte recruitment to atherosclerotic lesions. Better understanding of transcriptional regulation of adhesion molecules in ECs may provide important insight into plaque formation. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPARalpha), a member of the nuclear receptor family, regulates gene exp...
