However, since MAdCAM-1 is induced by Th1 cytokines, like TNF-α and IL-1b, it is likely that its induction is mechanistically similar to that of adhesion molecules like ICAM-1 and VCAM-1.
IL-1β, which was significantly upregulated in NHBEs following CSC exposure, has been shown to be important for activation of IL-8 [ 6 ] and ICAM-1 [ 4 ] . This is also consistent with the report that epithelial cells regulate inflammatory events by secreting cytokines and chemokines such as IL-1β, IL-8, GM-CSF, TNF-α, and sICAM-1 [ 2 ] . These paracrine effectors can then produce further primary local inflammation or amplify the effects of previously activated macrophages, eosinophils, mast cells, or lymphocytes.
MAdCAM-1 (mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule-1), IL-10 (Interleukin-10), HEV (high endothelial venular), ECAMs (endothelial cell adhesion molecules), IBD (inflammatory bowel diseases), UC (ulcerative colitis), CD (Crohn's disease), ICAM-1 (intracellular adhesion molecule 1), VCAM-1 (vascular adhesion molecule 1), NF-kB (nuclear transfection factor kB), TNF-α (tumor necrosis factor alpha), GM-CSF (granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor), GCSF (granulocute colony stimulating factor), ECL (enhanced chemiluminescence)
In the setting of IBD, the expression of ECAMs like ICAM-1, VCAM-1, and MAdCAM-1 (mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule-1) is observed in experimental models of colitis, [ 2 3 4 5 ] and also within the inflamed human colon in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis [ 6 7 ] .
