EFFECTS OF ELECTROACUPUNCTURE ON EXPRESSION OF INTERCELLULAR ADHESION MOLECULE-1 IN THE RAT OF LOCAL CEREBRAL ISCHEMIA-REPERFUSION

Objective To investigate effects of electroacupuncture （EA） on expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 （ICAM-1） in the rat of local cerebral ischemia-reperfusion. Methods Eighty SD rats were randomly divided into a normal control group, a sham operation group, a model group and an EA treatment group, 20 rats in each group. The thread-obstruction method was used for preparation of ischemia-reperfusion model. Zea-Longa rating criteria were used for evaluation of nervous function disorder; Immunohistochemical SABC method was used for detection of ICAM-1 expression in the microvascular endothelial cell of the ischemic brain region, and ELISA method for the soluble ICAM-1 （slCAM-1） content in peripheral blood. Re. suits After cerebral ischemia-reperfusion, both ICAM-1 expression level in the microvascular endethelium cell of the ischemic brain region and slCAM-1 content in the peripheral blood significantly increased in the model group as compared with the normal group and the sham operation group （P〈0.01）; After EA treatment, the ICAM-1 expression level in the microvascular endothelial cell of the ischemic brain region and slCAM-1 content in the peripheral blood were significantly down-regulated in the EA treatment group as com- pared with the model group （P〈 0.05）. Conclusion After cerebral ischemia-reperfusion, the microvascular endothelial cell of the ischemic brain region releases ICAM-1, which induces inflammatory injury of cerebral tissues; EA treatment can decease the expression of ICAM-1, so as to prevent the brain from the injury.

Monocyte chemotactic protein-1 and soluble adhesion molecules as possible prognostic markers of the efficacy of antiviral treatment in chronic hepatitis C

AIM:To explain the role of Monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) and soluble adhesion molecules in chronic hepatitis C during the treatment of interferon alpha (IFNα) 2 b and ribavirin (RBV). METHODS:Concentrations of MCP-1,soluble adhesion molecules intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1),sP- selectin,interleukin (IL) 6,and IL10 in serum were estimated in the group of 40 patients with chronic hepatitis C treated with IFNalpha2 b and RBV in 0,16,32,48 wk of the therapy, RESULTS:In chronic hepatitis C,before and during the treatment,the serum levels of MCP-1 and sP-selectin in responders were similar to those of healthy subjects.In non- responders (NR),MCP-1 increased in the course of IFNc^+RBV treatment,differences were statistically significant as compared to responders.MCP-1 correlated statistically with the activity of periportal inflammation (r=0.35,P<0.05) but not with staging of liver fibrosis,sICAM-1 positively correlated with inflammatory activity and fibrosis in NR.sP-selectin did not correlate with histological findings in the liver.The MCP-1 correlated with the soluble form of sP-selectin concentrations (r= 6,P<0.001) and with IL-10 level in NR (r=0.4,P<0.05).There was no correlation observed between the concentration of MCP-1 and sICAM-1,IL-6 during the treatment. CONCLUSION:MCP-1 concentration may be a prognostic marker of the efficacy of IFN+RBV therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis C.

Ubiquitin Reduces Expression of Intercellular Adhesion Molecules and Tumor Necrosis Factor-α in Lung Tissue of Experimental Acute Lung Injury

Background Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) are two important cytokines in inflammatory response, which may induce rolling and adhesion of both leukocytes and lymphocytes, while modulating vascular permeability at the same time. These adhesion molecules usually serve as surrogate markers of activation and injury of vascular endothelial cells. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is a key factor to induce the expression and production of the above cell adhesion molecules. However, it remains to be elucidated whether exogenous ubiquitin exerts any effect on the cytokines in sepsis-induced ALI. Methods Sixty mice were devided randomly into five groups with twelve mice in each group, i.e. CLP group, SHAM group, UB1 group (10 mg/kg), UB2 group (5 mg/kg) and UB3 group(1 mg/kg). Mice of SHAM group underwent sham operation, and other four groups underwent CLP. Six hours after surgery, mice of three UB groups received ubiquitin by caudal vein injection while CLP and SHAM group received vehicle. Seven hours after surgery, blood and lungs of all mice were collected. ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and TNF-α level of 9% lung homogenate and serum TNF-α level were measured by ELISA. Results Pulmonary ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and TNF-α level of three UB groups were lower than CLP and SHAM group, and there were several comparisons with a statistically significant difference. Serum TNF-α level of three UB groups were slightly lower than CLP group, but far higher than SHAM group. Pulmonary ICAM-1 level, VCAM-1 level and serum TNF-α level of UB3 group were lower than UB1 and UB2 group, and there was a significant difference in VCAM-1 between UB3 and UB1 group. Pulmonary TNF-α level of UB3 group was slightly higher than UB1 and UB2 group.

Pingyangmycin-regulated Expressions of Adhesion Molecules in Human Venous Malformation Endothelial Cells

Pingyangmycin (bleomycin A5 hydrochloride,PYM) is one of the anti-neoplastic agents which have been commonly used to treat venous malformations.However,the underlying mechanism by which PYM treats venous malformations remains poorly understood.It was reported that venous endothelial cells could recruit neutrophils via adhesion molecules (E-selectin,ICAM-1,ICAM-3,VCAM-1) during the acute/chronic inflammation and subsequent histological fibrosis after sclerotherapy with PYM.This study explored if the expression of E-selectin,ICAM-1,ICAM-3 and VCAM-1 in human venous malformation endothelial cells could be affected by PYM.HVMECs were cultured from human venous malformation tissue.Expressions of E-selectin,ICAM-1,ICAM-3 and VCAM-1 on HVMECs in response to PYM were analyzed by cell ELISA.The relative levels of mRNA expression in the cells were semi-quantified.The results showed that PYM up-regulated the expressions of E-selectin,ICAM-3,VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 in both time-and concentration-dependent manner.Our findings suggested that PYM could induce the expression of adhesion molecules in HVMECs,which might be a possible mechanism by which sclerotherapy by intralesional injection of PYM treats venous malformations.

Circulating Adhesion Molecules in Patients with Keshan Disease and Their Relationship with Coxsackie B Virus Infection

This study determined the levels of serum soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 （sI-CAM-l） and soluble vascular cell adhesion molecular-1 （sVCAM-1） in patients with different types of Keshan disease （KD）, examined the relationship between Coxsackie B virus-specific IgM antibody （CBV-IgM） and slCAM-1 or sVCAM-1 in KD patients, and investigated the role of these adhesion molecules in the pathogenesis of KD and their clinical implications. The levels of serum slCAM-1, sVCAM-1 and CBV-IgM were measured by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 22 patients with chronic Keshan disease （CKD）, 27 with latent Keshan disease （LKD） and 28 healthy controis. The subjects in different groups were adjusted for sex and age. Echocardiography was adopted to determine left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF） in 22 patients with CKD. The results showed that CKD patients had significantly higher levels of slCAM-1 and sVCAM-1 than LKD patients and healthy controls （P〈0.01 for all）. And there was significant difference in the levels of the 2 adhesion molecules between LKD patients and healthy controls （P〈0.05）. A negative correlation was found between LVEF and slCAM-1 or sVCAM-1 in CKD patients. The percentage of CBV-specific IgM positive individuals in KD patients was significantly higher than that of healthy controls. In CVB-specific IgM positive patients, the levels of serum slCAM-1 and sVCAM-1 were significantly greater than those in CBV-specific IgM negative counterpart. It was concluded that the increase in the levels of slCAM-1 and sVCAM-1 suggests the progression of inflammation in KD. slCAM-1 and sVCAM-1 can promote the development of myocardial pathology and lead to poor myocardial function. The increased serum slCAM-1 and sVCAM-1 in KD patients may be related to CBV infection.

Overexpression of Dendritic Cell-Specific Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-3-Grabbing Nonintegrin in Dendritic Cells Protectino aoainst Asperoillosis

Background： Dendritic cells （DCs） play an important role in host defense against pathogen infection. DC-specific intercellular adhesion moleeule-3-grabbing nonintegrin （SIGN） is a group II C-type lectin receptor and specifically expressed on the surface of DCs. This study aimed to determine whether DC-SIGN affects intracellular signaling activation, Th1/Th2 imbalance and aspergillus immune evasion in aspergillus infection, and explore the application of DC-SIGN-modified DCs in immunotherapy. Methods： DCs were first obtained from the mononuelear ceils of peripheral blood. The interferon （IFN）-γand dexamethasone （Dex） were used to stimulate DCs. The expression ofDC-SIGN, Th 1 and Th2 cytokines, and the capacity of DCs in stimulating T cells proliferation and phagocytosis, and nuclear factor （NF）-κB activation were analyzed. In addition, adenovirus expression vector Ad-DC-SIGN was generated to transfect DCs. Mannan was used to block DC-SIGN signaling for confirming the involvement of DC-SIGN function in Aspergillus fumigatus （Af）-induced DCs maturation. The unpaired, two-tailed Student＇s t-test was used in the comparisons between two groups. Results： Exogenous IFN-y could activate Af-induced DCs and promote the Th0 cells toward Th 1 profile （interleukin [IL]- 12 in I FN-y/Af group： 50.96 ± 4.38 pg/ml; control/Afgroup： 29.70 ±2.00 pg/ml, t = 10.815, P 〈 0.001 ）. On the other hand, Dex inhibited the secretion of Th2 cytokines （IL- 10 in Dex/Af group： 5.27 ± 0.85 pg/ml; control/Af group： 15.14 ± 1.40 pg/ml, t = 14.761, P 〈 0.001 ））, and successfully caused immunosuppression. Alier transfection with Ad-DC-SIGN, DCs have improved phagocytosis （phagocytosis rates in Ad-DC-SIGN group： 74.0% ± 3.4%; control group： 64.7% ± 6.8%, t = 3.104, P = 0.013）. There was more Thl cytokine secreted in the Af-induced DC-SIGN modified DCs （IL-12 in Ad-DC-SIGN/Af group： 471.98 ± 166.31 pg/ml; control/Af group： 33.35 ± 5.98 pg/ml, t = 6.456, P = 0.001 ）, correlated to the enhanced NF-KB activation. Conclusion： Overexpressing DC-SIGN in DCs had a protective function on aspergillosis.

Cardiotrophin-1 induces intercellular adhesion molecule-1 expression by nuclear factor κB activation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells

Background In addition to elevated concentrations of cytokines, patients with congestive endothelial dysfunction and increased plasma concentrations of adhesion molecules heart failure （CHF） show ke intercellular adhesion molecule-1 （ICAM-1）. Furthermore, the concentration of cardiotrophin-1 （CT-1） - a cytokine of the interleukin-6 superfamily - is increased in CHF. We tested the hypothesis whether CT-1 is able to induce ICAM-1 in human umbilical vein endothelial cells （HUVEC）. Furthermore we examined the signalling mechanisms of CT-1 mediated ICAM-1 expression. Methods Confluent layers of HUVEC were incubated with increasing concentrations of CT-1 （5 to 100 ng/ml） for different periods. ICAM-1 mRNA was determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction （PCR） and ICAM-1 surface expression by fluorescence-activated cell sorter （FACS） analysis and soluble ICAM-1 （slCAM-1） in the culture supernatant by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. To clarify the signalling pathway of CT-1 induced ICAM-1 expression we used various inhibitors of possible signal transducing molecules, electromobility shift assay （EMSA） and Western blot analysis. Results CT-1 induced ICAM-1 mRNA （1.8±0.8 fold increase compared to unstimulated cells after 6 hours） and protein （1.4±0.2 fold increase compared to unstimulated cells after 48 hours） in HUVEC in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. EMSA experiments show that CT-1 causes nuclear factor （NF） κB activation. Because parthenolide could inhibit CT-1 induced ICAM-1 expression NFκB activation is required in this pathway. CT-1 did not activate extracellular signal regulated kinases （ERK）, c-Jun N-terminal kinase （JNK） and p38. Conclusion CT-1 is able to induce ICAM-1 in endothelial cells by NFκB activation. These results may explain in part elevated ICAM-1 concentrations in patients with CHF and endothelial dysfunction.

Levels of soluble adhesion molecules in patients with various clinical presentations of coronary atherosclerosis

Background Adhesion molecules play an important role in the development and progression of coronary atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to compare concentrations of soluble forms of adhesion molecules in patients with different clinical presentations of coronary artery disease （CAD）.Methods One hundred and twenty-eight patients with CAD were divided into three groups; the first group was acute myocardial infarction group （AMI group, n=45）, the second group was unstable angina pectoris group （UAP group, n=48）,the third group was stable angina pectoris group （SAP group, n=35）. We compared them with patients with normal coronary arteries （control group, n=31）. The serum levels of vascular cell adhesion molecule （VCAM-1）, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 （ICAM-1）, E-selectin and P-selectin were measured in all subjects.Results The serum level of VCAM-1 in the AMI group was significantly higher than in the UAP, SAP and control groups （P 〈0.01）. The level in the UAP group was significantly higher than the SAP group and control group （P 〈0.01） and the level in the SAP group was significantly higher than in the control group （P 〈0.01）. The serum ICAM-1 level was significantly elevated in the AMI, UAP and SAP groups as compared to the control group （P 〈0.01）. The levels of serum E-selectin and P-selectin in the AMI and UAP groups were significantly higher than in the SAP and control groups （P〈0.01）.Conclusions Increased levels of VCAM-1 and ICAM-1, E-selectin and P-selectin, as markers of inflammation, showed the importance of inflammatory processes in the development of atherosclerosis and clinical expression of CAD. Soluble ICAM-1, VCAM-1, E-selectin and P-selectin concentrations are useful indicators of the presence of atherosclerosis and the severity of CAD clinical presentation.

Effect of a cancer vaccine prepared by fusions of hepatocarcinoma cells with dendritic cells

AIM: To prepare a cancer vaccine (H(22)-DC) expressing high levels of costimulatory molecules based on fusions of hepatocarcinoma cells (H(22)) with dendritic cells (DC) of mice and to analyze the biological characteristics and induction of specific CTL activity of H(22)-DC. METHODS: DCs were isolated from murine spleen by metrizamide density gradient centrifugation, purified based on its characteristics of semi-adhesion to culture plates and FcR-,and were cultured in the medium containing GM-CSF and IL-4. A large number of DC were harvested. DCs were then fused with H(22) cells by PEG and the fusion cells were marked with CD11c MicroBeads. The H(22)-DC was sorted with Mimi MACS sorter. The techniques of cell culture, immunocytochemistry and light microscopy were also used to test the characteristics of growth and morphology of H(22)-DC in vitro. As the immunogen, H(22)-DC was inoculated subcutaneously into the right armpit of BALB/C mice, and their tumorigenicity in vivo was observed. MTT was used to test the CTL activity of murine spleen in vivo. RESULTS: DC cells isolated and generated were CD11c+ cells with irregular shape, and highly expressed CD80, CD86 and CD54 molecules. H22 cells were CD11c- cells with spherical shape and bigger volume, and did not express CD80, CD86 and CD54 molecules.H(22)-DC was CD11c+ cells with bigger volume, being spherical, flat or irregular in shape, and highly expressed CD80, CD86 and CD54 molecules, too. H(22)-DC was able to divide and proliferate in vitro, but its activity of proliferation was significantly decreased as compared with H(22) cells and its growth curve was flatter than H(22) cells. After subcutaneous inoculation over 60 days, H(22)-DC showed no tumorigenecity in mice, which was significantly different from control groups (P【0.01). The spleen CTL activity against H(22) cells in mice implanted with fresh H(22)-DC was significantly higher than control groups (P 【 0.01). CONCLUSION: H(22)-DC could significantly stimulate the specific CTL activity of murine spleen, which suggests that the fusion cells have already obtained the function of antigen presenting of parental DC and could present H(22)specific antigen which has not been identified yet, and H(22)-DC could induce antitumor immune response; although simply mixed H(22) cells with DC could stimulate the specific CTL activity which could inhibit the growth of tumor in some degree, it could not prevent the generation of tumor. It shows that the DC vaccine is likely to become a helpful approach in immunotherapy of hepatocarcinoma.

Early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma co-occurring with hepatitis C virus infection: A mathematical model

AIM: To develop a mathematical model for the early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with a panel of serum proteins in combination with α-fetoprotein (AFP).METHODS: Serum levels of interleukin (IL)-8, soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1), soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor II (sTNF-RII), proteasome, and β-catenin were measured in 479 subjects categorized into four groups: (1) HCC concurrent with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection (n = 192); (2) HCV related liver cirrhosis (LC) (n = 96); (3) Chronic hepatitis C (CHC) (n = 96); and (4) Healthy controls (n = 95). The R package and different modules for binary and multi-class classifiers based on generalized linear models were used to model the data. Predictive power was used to evaluate the performance of the model. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis over pairs of groups was used to identify the best cutoffs differentiating the different groups.RESULTS: We revealed mathematical models, based on a binary classifier, made up of a unique panel of serum proteins that improved the individual performance of AFP in discriminating HCC patients from patients with chronic liver disease either with or without cirrhosis. We discriminated the HCC group from the cirrhotic liver group using a mathematical model (-11.3 + 7.38 × Prot + 0.00108 × sICAM + 0.2574 × β-catenin + 0.01597 × AFP) with a cutoff of 0.6552, which achieved 98.8% specificity and 89.1% sensitivity. For the discrimination of the HCC group from the CHC group, we used a mathematical model [-10.40 + 1.416 × proteasome + 0.002024 × IL + 0.004096 × sICAM-1 + (4.251 × 10-4) × sTNF + 0.02567 × β-catenin + 0.02442 × AFP] with a cutoff 0.744 and achieved 96.8% specificity and 89.7% sensitivity. Additionally, we derived an algorithm, based on a binary classifier, for resolving the multi-class classification problem by using three successive mathematical model predictions of liver disease status.CONCLUSION: Our proposed mathematical model may be a useful method for the early detection of different statuses of liver disease co-occurring with HCV infection.

Correlation between endothelia cells activation and imbalance of cytokines in pulmonary hypertension of congenital heart disease

Objective To explore the correlation between endothelia cells activation and cytokines (ET-1, NO) levels in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH), and to discuss their roles in the development of PH. Methods Twenty patients with simple ventricular septal defect (VSD) were chosen as controls, and 30 patients with PH were studied. Plasma levels of ET-1 and NO were measured by radioimmunoassay or colorimetric method. Before cardiopulmonary bypass was established, the specimens from right lung were fixed with formaldehyde solution, embedded with paraffin and stained by SP immunohistochemistry. Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression was measured through the determination of the light density with computer imaging technology. Results Compared with that of the patients with simple VSD, the light density of ICAM-1 and plasma level of ET-1 increased in patients with PH; but plasma level of NO decreased (P<0.05). Positive correlation was observed between ICAM-1 and ET-1/NO (P<0.05). Conclusion Endothelia cells activation and imbalance of ET-1/NO might play an important role in the development of PH.

目的分析不稳定型心绞痛(UAP)患者血清内皮细胞特异分子-1(ESM-1)、可溶性细胞间黏附分子-1(sICAM-1)与冠状动脉粥样硬化性心脏病(以下简称冠心病)严重程度的关系及对急性心肌梗死(AMI)发病的预测价值。方法选取2021年1月—2023年6月成都医学院第三附属医院收治的78例UAP患者。采用酶联免疫吸附试验检测ESM-1、sICAM-1水平。采用Gensini评估冠脉狭窄积分,依据患者狭窄积分将其分为轻中度组和重度组,分析不同病情严重程度患者ESM-1、sICAM-1水平。给予吸氧、抗血小板、抗凝、抗心肌缺血等治疗后,随访统计治疗6个月内AMI发生情况,将发生AMI患者纳入发生组,反之为未发生组。分析影响UAP患者发生AMI的因素及其对AMI发病的预测价值。结果重度组ESM-1、sICAM-1水平均高于轻中度组(P<0.05)。发生组Gensini评分、ESM-1、sICAM-1、NYHA分级均高于未发生组(P<0.05),SAQ评分低于未发生组(P<0.05)。多因素逐步Logistic回归分析结果表明,Gensini评分[OR=4.674(95%CI:1.598,13.675)]、SAQ评分[OR=4.802(95%CI:1.641,14.049)]、ESM-1[OR=5.573(95%CI:1.905,16.306)]和sICAM-1[OR=4.411(95%CI:1.508,12.904)]是UAP患者发生AMI的危险因素(P<0.05)。受试者工作特征曲线结果表明,Gensini评分、ESM-1、sICAM-1、SAQ评分及联合预测UAP患者发生AMI的敏感性分别为70.0%(95%CI:0.570,0.830)、75.0%(95%CI:0.621,0.882)、75.0%(95%CI:0.614,0.872)、70.0%(95%CI:0.562,0.841)、90.0%(95%CI:0.862,0.904);特异性分别为72.4%(95%CI:0.584,0.863)、75.7%(95%CI:0.618,0.898)、77.6%(95%CI:0.635,0.910)、67.0%(95%CI:0.548,0.823)、91.4%(95%CI:0.773,0.944)。Gensini评分、ESM-1、sICAM-1、SAQ评分联合预测UAP患者发生AMI的价值较高,曲线下面积>0.9。结论ESM-1、sICAM-1与冠心病严重程度有关,Gensini评分、ESM-1、sICAM-1、SAQ评分联合预测UAP患者发生AMI的效能较好。
