The adhesion molecule and cytokine profile of multiple sclerosis lesions

Annals of Neurology
B Cannella, C S Raine

Abstract

The expression of the adhesion molecules, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), and their respective receptors on leukocytes, very late activation antigen-4 (VLA-4) and lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1), together with a selection of proinflammatory and immunomodulatory cytokines (interleukin [IL]-1, IL-2, IL-4, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor-alpha [TNF-alpha], transforming growth factor-beta [TGF-beta], and interferon-gamma [IFN-gamma] was examined by immunocytochemistry in multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions of different ages and compared with central nervous system (CNS) tissue from other neurological diseases, both inflammatory and noninflammatory, and normal CNS tissue. These molecules play key roles in lymphocytic infiltration and interactions during tissue inflammation and are in large part normally not expressed by CNS cells. High levels of expression of all the molecules tested were found in MS, particularly in chronic active lesions. Positivity for all molecules was also seen in other neurological diseases, even in noninflammatory conditions. There was some suggestion that the VCAM-1/VLA-4 adhesion pathway was expressed at higher levels in chronic MS lesions...Continue Reading

Astrocytes

Astrocytes are glial cells that support the blood-brain barrier, facilitate neurotransmission, provide nutrients to neurons, and help repair damaged nervous tissues. Here is the latest research.

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.
