We evaluated the influence of high ambient glucose on cellular expression of adhesion molecules, known to mediate endothelial interaction of leucocytes and monocytes. Paired cultures of individual isolates of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were studied by fluorescence activated cell
The expression of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) by endothelial cells is important for the regulation of adhesion and transendothelial migration of a variety of leukocytes that express the integrins lymphocyte functionassociated antigen 1 (LFA-1) and/or Mac-1. Here, we demonstrate strain
Increased monocyte adhesion to the endothelial lining of blood vessels by cytokine-inducible adhesion proteins is a crucial event in inflammatory processes. Moreover, adherence is known to induce cytokine gene expression, suggesting a possible positive feedback mechanism. Therefore, we determined wh
