Abstract

To assess whether serial serum levels of soluble forms of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1) are useful as surrogate markers of disease activity in multiple sclerosis (MS). Increased levels of sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 have been described in cross-sectional, but not longitudinal, studies of patients with MS. Although they appear to correlate with clinical and MRI markers of disease activity, their role as potential surrogate markers remains undefined. Serial serum levels of sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 were measured in patients with MS undergoing monthly gadolinium-enhanced MRI studies of the brain (462 gadolinium-enhanced MRI in 57 patients) and in 12 normal control subjects. Ten patients had primary progressive (PP), 22 relapsing remitting (RR), and 25 secondary progressive (SP) disease. Levels of sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 were increased intermittently in patients with all subtypes of MS. Median levels of sICAM-1 were elevated in patients with MS compared with normal controls (normal controls median [interquartile range] = 176[119-209] compared with PP = 502[194-1768], RR = 419[158-481], and SP = 352[196-469] ng/mL; p = 0.04). After excluding patients with PP MS, patients with high sICAM-1 ...Continue Reading

Cell Adhesion Molecules in the Brain

Cell adhesion molecules found on cell surface help cells bind with other cells or the extracellular matrix to maintain structure and function. Here is the latest research on their role in the brain.

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.
