Intercellular adhesion molecule-1: a protective haplotype against multiple sclerosis

Abstract: Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and its receptors are adhesion molecules that play a key role in the transmigration of inflammatory cells through the blood-brain barrier, one of the earliest events in multiple sclerosis (MS), which leads to demyelination in the central nervous system. To investigate the role of genes encoding ICAM-1 and its receptors, we used a strategy of genetic linkage and association in 439 case-parent MS families of French origin, well characterized according to HLA status and … Show more

“…The gene encoding ICAM-1 is located on chromosome 19p13.2. Its polymorphic site K469E has been suggested to affect the function of ICAM-1 molecule (Iwao et al 2004) and influence the risk of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases (Cournu-Rebeix et al 2003;Lv et al 2012). Although our study failed to show the independent significant association between ICAM-1 K469E polymorphism and SSNHL, a synergistic effect was indicated between ICAM-1 K469E and IL-6 -572C/G in patients with SSNHL.…”

“…In addition, ICAM-1-dependent engagement and signaling in lymphocytes, blood-brain barrier endothelial cells, microglia, and astrocytes can activate effector mechanisms that promote the progression of neuroinflammation (10,21). Finally, genetic analyses have provided evidence of an association between a single nucleotide polymorphism in the ICAM-1 gene and MS development in several populations (22)(23)(24).…”
