Abstract

Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM1) acts as ligand for beta2-integrin molecules and mediates leucocyte trafficking to the site of inflammation. Intercellular adhesion molecule-1-deficient mice show impaired lymphocyte recruitment to the lung, less airway hyper-responsiveness and less lung inflammation than healthy controls. Thus, the aim of the study was to test common ICAM1 polymorphisms for association with paediatric asthma. Furthermore, we were interested in whether soluble ICAM1 (sICAM1) serum levels were in correlation with genotypes. The following polymorphisms in ICAM1 were genotyped on 352 children with asthma and 270 controls: rs5491 (resulting in the amino-acid exchange K56M), rs5493 (G241S), rs5498 (K469E), rs5030400 (R478W) and rs885743 in the 3'-untranslated region. In addition, sICAM1 serum levels were measured. Only K469E and rs885743 were present in our populations. K469E showed association with asthma (P = 0.0037 with Armitage's trend test). Haplotype analysis by FAMHAP using both polymorphisms revealed association with asthma by P < 0.000001. In addition, serum sICAM1 levels were correlated with K469E genotypes (P = 0.009 by Kruskal-Wallis test). We conclude from our data that K469KE is associated with ...Continue Reading

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

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. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
