Role of ICAM‐1 in the aggregation and adhesion of human alveolar macrophages in response to TNF‐α and INF‐γ

Abstract: Intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1)-mediated cell-cell adhesion is thought to play an important role at sites of inflammation. Recent evidence suggests that ICAM-1 surface expression on alveolar macrophages is increased in pulmonary sarcoidosis and that inflammatory granuloma formation is characterized by the aggregation of macrophages. The present study shows that ICAM-1 expression is significantly elevated on alveolar macrophages from patients with sarcoidosis in response to tumor necrosis factor-alph… Show more

“…This protein can be induced by pathogenic cytokines related to autoinflammatory diseases, such as IL-1β, IL-18, and TNF-α. 32 34 Indeed, it has been reported that the level of sCD54 was increased in the serum from patients with FMF and patients with Adult Still Disease. 35 , 36 These finding are consistent with our present observation that sCD54 clearly correlates with IL-18 in the serum from FMF patients in attack.…”

“…In sarcoidosis, TNF-α induced the expression of intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) on AMs, leading to cellular aggregation (66). Additionally, leukocyte adhesion molecule (LeuCAM) expression, such as CD11a/b/c and CD18 (67), is increased in sarcoid AMs compared with controls.…”

“…Activated macrophages obtain increased cytokine production and enhanced tumoricidal and microbicidal function (6,7). In various inflammatory and granulomatous conditions, IFN-γ is critical in enhancing and sustaining macrophage activation (8,9). However, its precise mechanism remains largely unknown and elucidating its role is essential in order to gain further understanding of the pathogenesis of inflammation.…”
