Alterations of Endothelial cells (ECs) play a critical role in different pathogenesis of many serious human diseases, and dysfunction of the vascular endothelium is an indicator for human disorders. Endothelial dysfunction is considered to be an early indicator for atherosclerosis, which is characterised by overexpression of adhesion molecules ...

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

Regulation of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 in human vascular smooth muscle cells. [PDF]
Vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), and E-selectin are inducible proteins involved in cell-cell adhesion. Immunohistochemical studies have indicated that human atherosclerotic plaques contain smooth muscle cells (SMCs) that express ICAM-1 and VCAM-1.

Carbamylated Low-Density Lipoprotein Induces Monocyte Adhesion to Endothelial Cells Through Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1 and Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule-1 [PDF]
Objective—Carbamylated low-density lipoprotein (LDL), the most abundant modified LDL isoform in human blood, has been recently implicated in causing the atherosclerosis-prone injuries to endothelial cells in vitro and atherosclerosis in humans. This study was aimed at testing the hypothesis that carbamylated LDL acts via inducing monocyte adhesion to ...

Bleomycin increases neutrophil adhesion to human vascular endothelial cells independently of upregulation of ICAM-1 and E-selectin [PDF]
© 2016 Taylor & Francis. Aim of the Study: Bleomycin-induced lung disease is a serious complication of therapy characterized by alveolar injury, cytokine release, inflammatory cell recruitment, and eventually pulmonary fibrosis.

Effects of stereoisomers of thioctic acid on rat renal vasculature microanatomy [PDF]
Metabolism of oxygen by cells can generate potentially dangerous reactive oxygen species (ROS). Endothelial cells lining vascular luminal surface are an important site of signalling molecules and a ROS target during ischemia, inflammation and other ...

Effects of Nigella sativa on VCAM-1 and ICAM-1: A systematic review of preclinical and clinical studies [PDF]
The objective of present review was to assess all studies about effect of Nigella sativa (N. sativa) on vascular cell and intercellular adhesion molecules-1 (VCAM-1 and ICAM-1) under different situations. Search was performed until May 2024 using Scopus,
