Expression of cell adhesion molecules in inflammatory myopathies

Journal of Neuroimmunology
D S Tews, H H Goebel

Abstract

We examined the expression of cell adhesion molecules in 25 cases of inflammatory myopathies. Inflammatory myopathies showed upregulation of adhesion molecules. ICAM-1 was strongly expressed on endothelial cells as well as on fibroblasts and infiltrating leukocytes while the expression of VCAM-1, similar in its distribution, was much weaker. A few muscle fibers in polymyositis revealed sarcolemmal labeling for ICAM-1. ELAM-1 showed only weak expression on vessels. The inflammatory cellular infiltrates contained varying amounts of cells bearing the VCAM-1 ligand VLA-4 and the ELAM-1 ligand SLeX as well as large amounts of cells expressing LFA-1 alpha and beta, ligands of ICAM-1.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
