Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) are cytokine-inducible adhesion molecules which recognize ligands that are highly expressed on leukocytes. Expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 was investigated in tissue sections of 16 cases of malignant mesothelio

## BACKGROUND. The role of thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) in tumor angiogenesis and progression is controversial. The authors assessed the impact of TSP-1 as a prognostic indicator in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). ## METHODS. TSP-1 expression was assessed by reverse transcriptase-polymerase c
Syndecan-1 binds basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), modulates neovascularization, plays a role in epithelial differentiation and is up-regulated by WT1. Malignant mesothelioma of the pleura is one of the most aggressive tumours known and expresses high levels of angiogenic growth factors. This s
