a-MSH, a proopiomelanocortin (POMC)-derived peptide, is known to be produced in the pituitary, the skin, and melanoma tumors and to possess many biological effects, mainly on melanocyte pigmentation and growth. Moreover, the melanocyte expresses adhesion molecules, including ICAM-1. The latter has b

In order to study adhesion-molecule expression and its consequences for cellular recognition, the presence of adhesion molecules ICAM-1, VCAM-1, VLA-4, LFA-1, alpha, LFA-1 beta, LFA-3, b1-integrin and b3-integrin was studied on specimens from breast tissue by immunohistochemistry and on cells from b
## Abstract The level of adhesion molecules expressed at the endothelial cell surface is critical in the control of inflammation. Adenylate cyclase (AC) activity allowing cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) production can modulate the inflammatory process. We investigated the ACβdependent modulat
## Abstract The intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAMβ1) has been shown to be important in interactions involying cells of the immune system and to be upregulated in a number of cell culture systems by cytokines, including immune interferon (IFNβΞ³) and tumor necrosis factorβalpha (TNFβΞ±). In the pr
Four human breast cancer cell lines (T47D, ZR-75-I, MCF7D and HS578T) were examined for the effects of cytokines on expression of cell surface antigens. Interferon (IFN)y upregulated the expression of ICAM-I (CD54) in all the cell lines and coordinately up-regulated both CD54 and CD40 expression in
