Abstract

The expression of P-selectin was more upregulated following the exposure to nonionic low osmolar contrast agents than to ionic contrast agents. Exposure to nonionic contrast agents led to a marked adhesion of leukocytes to endothelial cells. Thrombomodulin activity of endothelial cells was decreased, and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha in the supernatant were increased when leukocyte adhesion occurred after exposure to nonionic contrast agents. Results suggest that the adhesion of leukocytes to the endothelium increases procoagulant activity.

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.
