Abstract
Neutrophil adherence to endothelium is partially mediated by the expression of endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule-1 (ELAM-1) on endothelial cells activated by agents such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and phorbol myristate acetate (PMA). To elucidate molecular mechanisms involved in the induction of ELAM-1 on endothelial cells, we investigated the effect of the NADPH oxidase inhibitor, apocynin (4-hydroxy-3-methoxyacetophenone), on ELAM-1 mRNA expression in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) by Northern blot analysis. Apocynin downregulated both LPS- and PMA-induced ELAM-1 mRNA expression in a dose-dependent manner. Our results suggest NADPH oxidase might play a key role in ELAM-1 mRNA expression in HUVEC.Entities:
