Circulating adhesion molecules in disease

Abstract

The demonstration of soluble isoforms of adhesion molecules has added a layer of complexity to our understanding of lymphoid-endothelial cell interactions. This is especially true in the light of observations which show levels of these isoforms to be raised during disease processes. Here, Andrew Gearing and Walter Newman review the evidence that increased levels of circulating, soluble adhesion molecules may be a key to understanding the prognosis and pathology of certain diseases.

      The r-ANOVA was not significant. Numerous reports have appeared in literature investigating the role of soluble adhesion molecules in various immune, inflammatory, infective and neoplastic diseases,9-14 however, data regarding MCD, a common cause of primary NS, is rare. In this longitudinal study, we found that circulating levels of sVCAM-1 and sE-selectin were higher in patients with adult-onset MCD than those recorded in controls.
