To determine inducible
endothelial cell adhesion molecule expression (E-selectin, VCAM - 1, and ICAM - 1), some of the chambers were given medium containing 10 ng / ml TNF - α for 4 — 6 h (these time points were selected to correlate with the known kinetics of
endothelial cell adhesion molecule expression; Refs.
Established cell lines exhibited several inherent endothelial properties, including the expression of constitutive and inducible levels of
endothelial cell adhesion molecules E-selectin, intercellular adhesion molecule - 1, and vascular cell adhesion molecule - 1, internalization of acetylated low - density lipoprotein, and formation of loop structures on Matrigel surfaces.
The selection strategy targeted cell populations expressing the inducible
endothelial cell adhesion molecules, E-selectin and VCAM - 1, and proved successful in generating microvascular endothelial cell lines from a number of different organs.
When primary cultures from these mice are stimulated with proinflammatory cytokines, the endothelial cell fraction responds by up - regulating the inducible
endothelial cell adhesion molecules, E-selectin and VCAM - 1.
The constitutive expression of
these endothelial cell adhesion molecules was very similar for most of the lines derived from different organs, i.e., very low expression levels of E-selectin and VCAM - 1 and more pronounced expression of ICAM - 1.
The constitutive and inducible expression of
the endothelial cell adhesion molecules E-selectin, ICAM - 1, and VCAM - 1 was assessed by immunohistochemistry (Figs. 4, A — C) ⇓.
