Synergistic Effect of TNF-α in Soluble VCAM-1-Induced Angiogenesis Through α4 Integrins

Abstract: In our present study we focused on soluble VCAM-1 (sVCAM-1)/α4 integrin-induced angiogenesis and found that this type of angiogenesis was mediated through p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase and focal adhesion kinase (FAK). HUVEC expressed both α4 and β1 integrins, and it was reported that expression of α4 integrin and its counterreceptor, sVCAM-1/VCAM-1, was enhanced in response to an inflammatory cytokine, TNF-α. In endothelial cells phosphorylation of p38 and FAK, but not that of extracellular signal-regul… Show more

“…Antigen-antibody complexes were then visualized with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies following by enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL; Amersham, Piscataway, NJ), as described previously. 14,29) Corneal micropocket assay in mice and quantification of corneal neo-vascularization. The corneal micropocket assay was performed essentially as previously described.…”

“…5A). The activation of the ERK1/2 signaling pathway presumably plays a pivotal role in the stimulation of endothelial cell proliferation (41,54). However, it also protects cells from many forms of apoptosis (55,56).…”

“…Integrins are a family of transmembrane receptors known to play roles in adhesion and migration (Watt, 2002). TNF-a has recently been shown to regulate integrin family members on a variety of cell types (Milner and Campbell, 2003;Nakao et al, 2003) so we used a gene expression profiling system to compare the integrin expression pattern in wt and TNF-a À/À keratinocytes in vitro.…”
