The levels of vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1), intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), and E-selectin were determined by real-time PCR and immunofluorescence staining to reveal the degree of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα)-induced endothelial dysfunction.
Markers of oxidative stress (advanced oxidation protein products, oxidized low-density lipoprotein), inflammation (hs-CRP) and endothelial dysfunction (E-selectin, PAI-1) were also higher in HL survivors (p<0.0001, p=0.0002, p=0.0031, p=0.0087, p=0.004, respectively).
Elevated circulating CAMs, especially ICAM-1 and E-selectin, led to increased risk of type 2 diabetes in a dose-dependent manner, supporting the assumption that endothelial dysfunction contributes to the development of diabetes.
We evaluated the associations between vitamin D status (i.e. serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D)), biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction (i.e. serum concentrations of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (sICAM-1) and soluble E-selectin (sE-selectin)), inflammatory markers (i.e. high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and fibrinogen) and cardiometabolic risk factors.
Measures included CD62E+ endothelial microparticles (EMPs), a measure of early stage endothelial dysfunction, as well as lipid and glucose profile, aerobic fitness, body composition, and blood pressure.
SS mice developed PH and right ventricular hypertrophy associated with reduced lung levels of PPARγ and increased levels of microRNA-27a (miR-27a), v-ets avian erythroblastosis virus E26 oncogene homolog 1 (ETS1), endothelin-1 (ET-1), and markers of endothelial dysfunction (platelet/endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1 and E selectin).
In order to evaluate the endothelial function in patients with a history of APE flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery and biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction (sVCAM-1, sICAM-1, ADMA, E-selectin) were measured.
The purpose of this study was to examine whether chronic stress was associated with flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and 2 biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction (intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and E-selectin) in a multiethnic sample of adults (ages 45-84 years).
The cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and E-selectin promote attachment and trans-endothelial migration of leukocytes, and are up regulated in inflammation and endothelial dysfunction.
About 137 patients with type 1 diabetes (duration ≥ 5 years) and 68 age- and sex-matched controls were evaluated for the following: (i) smoking, alcohol intake, BMI, blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose, HbA1c and lipid profile; (ii) microvascular complications; (iii) serum markers of ED (ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and E-selectin); (iv) AS, assessed as aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV); and (v) Hp genotype.
While both cerebrovascular risk factors and endothelial dysfunction lead to activation of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and E-selectin, it is not known whether these biomarkers extend the diagnostic repertoire in reflecting intracerebral structural damage or cognitive performance.
South Asian newborns are characterized by elevated E-selectin levels in line with the hypothesis that endothelial dysfunction is present early in life.
We examined whether variation in the gene for E-selectin (SELE), a biomarker of endothelial dysfunction, was associated with levels of E-selectin or diabetes quantitative traits (including fasting levels of insulin and hemoglobin A(1c)) in 719 nondiabetic participants of the Nurses' Health Study or with risk of diabetes in 602 incident (over 10 years of follow-up) cases and 655 control women matched for age, race, and fasting status.
