Induction of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 expression by IL-4 in human aortic smooth muscle cells is not associated with increased nuclear NF-?B levels

Abstract: Vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) are upregulated in vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells by cytokines produced at sites of inflammation. The cytokine profile for induction of VCAM-1, however, is different for the two cell types. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) induced both VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 expression in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs; ED50 approximately 300 and 30 U/ml, respectively). TNF-alpha and interleukin-1beta (IL-1… Show more

“…VCAM-1 stimulates endothelial cell NADPH oxidase-catalyzed production of nontoxic levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) 4 (1 M H 2 O 2 ) (9,12). In contrast, binding to VCAM-1 does not activate other ROS-generating enzymes in endothelial cells such as NO synthase (9).…”

“…IL-1 ␤ and TNF ␣ stimulate the NF-B-dependent expression of the cell adhesion molecules ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 resulting in enhanced adhesion between SMCs and monocytes [53][54][55] . In contrast, IL-4 induces VCAM expression through an NF-B-independent pathway [56] , suggesting that alternative inflammatory signaling pathways can stimulate cell adhesion molecule expression. The interaction between monocytes and SMCs is sufficient to stimulate the expression of IL-6 and MCP-1 [57] , suggesting that cell adhesion molecule expression in the SMC layer may propagate the local inflammatory response.…”
