Thioredoxin1 downregulates oxidized low-density lipoprotein-induced adhesion molecule expression via Smad3 protein. [PDF]
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammation disease that is initiated by endothelial cell injury. Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) is directly associated with chronic vascular inflammation. To understand whether thioredoxin1 (Trx1) participates in

Pcdh11x controls target specification of mossy fiber sprouting
Circuit formation is a defining characteristic of the developing brain. However, multiple lines of evidence suggest that circuit formation can also take place in adults, the mechanisms of which remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated the epilepsy-

Cultured microvascular endothelial cells derived from the bovine corpus luteum possess NCAM-140 [PDF]
Previously, five phenotypically different, stable types of microvascular endothelial cells (MVE) were isolated from the bovine corpus and cultured successfully. We found that three out of these five types of MVE express the neural cell adhesion molecule (

Putative cell adhesion membrane protein Vstm5 regulates neuronal morphology and migration in the central nervous system [PDF]
During brain development, dynamic changes in neuronal membranes perform critical roles in neuronal morphogenesis and migration to create functional neural circuits.

Cell adhesion molecules and exercise
An extensive systematic review was undertaken in the current literature in order to explore the role of different types and intensities of exercise in cell adhesion molecules (CAMs), one of the markers of vascular inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and atherosclerosis.Twenty-eight qualifying studies were extensively reviewed to examine the effects ...

CD44 cell adhesion molecules [PDF]
The CD44 proteins form a ubiquitously expressed family of cell surface adhesion molecules involved in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. The multiple protein isoforms are encoded by a single gene by alternative splicing and are further modified by a range of post-translational modifications. CD44 proteins are single chain molecules comprising an N-

Urokinase does not upregulate the vascular endothelial cell–mediated inflammatory response [PDF]
Purpose: Urokinase is used clinically for thrombolysis, but little is known of its direct effect on vascular endothelial cells. The following experiments were preformed to assess the in vitro effects of urokinase on vascular endothelial cell growth ...

Flavopiridol Protects Against Inflammation by Attenuating Leukocyte-Endothelial Interaction via Inhibition of Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 9 [PDF]
Objective: The cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor flavopiridol is currently being tested in clinical trials as anticancer drug. Beyond its cell death–inducing action, we hypothesized that flavopiridol affects inflammatory processes.
