Angiogenesis in Platelet Endothelial Cell Adhesion Molecule-1-Null Mice [PDF]
Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule (PECAM)-1 has been previously implicated in endothelial cell migration; additionally, anti-PECAM-1 antibodies have been shown to inhibit in vivo angiogenesis. Studies were therefore performed with PECAM-1-null mice to further define the involvement of PECAM-1 in blood vessel formation.

Arsenic Exposure Increases Monocyte Adhesion to the Vascular Endothelium, a Pro-Atherogenic Mechanism. [PDF]
Epidemiological studies have shown that arsenic exposure increases atherosclerosis, but the mechanisms underlying this relationship are unknown. Monocytes, macrophages and platelets play an important role in the initiation of atherosclerosis. Circulating

Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 signaling inhibits the activation of human platelets [PDF]
Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1/CD31) is a 130-kd transmembrane glycoprotein and a member of the growing family of receptors with immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIMs). PECAM-1 is expressed on platelets, certain T cells, monocytes, neutrophils, and vascular endothelial cells and is involved in a range of ...

Increased levels of soluble forms of E-selectin and ICAM-1 adhesion molecules during human leptospirosis. [PDF]
Leptospirosis is a multisystemic zoonotic disease with infiltration of visceral organs by Leptospira. The capacity of the vascular endothelium to grant immune cell recruitment and activation in target organs during the disease course remains poorly ...

Soluble adhesion molecules and angiotensin-converting enzyme in dementia
We aimed to determine plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and the soluble forms of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1) and platelet endothelial cell ...

Regulation of platelet biology by platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1
Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1), an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif containing receptor, plays diverse and apparently contradictory roles in regulating the response of platelets to stimuli; inhibiting platelet response to immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif and G protein-coupled receptor signalling ...

Platelet Endothelial Cell Adhesion Molecule‐1 is Expressed in Adenoidal Crypt Epithelial Cells [PDF]
AbstractThe adenoidal epithelial crypt is a potential site of antigen transport from pharyngeal lumen to adenoidal tissue. The base of the crypt is consistently infiltrated with leucocytes, forming a reticular lymphoepithelial structure. To evaluate mechanisms that possibly mediate leucocyte infiltration, expressions of leucocyte adhesion molecules ...
