Abstract Background: Dietary inflammatory index (DIP) is a new dietary index designed to evaluate individuals’ diets. In addition, adhesion molecules are important biomarkers for assessing endothelium inflammation that they related to atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Also, there is no study for assessing the association between adhesion molecules and DIP until now as well as other studies that assessed the relationship between dietary inflammatory index or DIP have controversy. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to determine the correlation between DII and endothelial markers such as E-selectin, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1) among female nurses from Isfahan. In this study, dietary inflammatory potential (DIP) was used instead of DII.Methods: This study was performed on 420 healthy nurses. The nurses were selected by random cluster sampling method from private and public Isfahan hospitals. A validated food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was applied to assess the dietary inflammatory potential. A fasting blood sample was collected for measuring the plasma levels of the endothelial markers and other variables. Results: After adjusting different potential confounders, no statistical association was found between DIP and sICAM-1, E–selectin and sVCAM-1 in model I (P=0.57, 0.98 and 0.45), model II (P=0.57, 0.98 and 0.45) and model III (P=0.67, 0.92 and 0.50) in comparison to the crude group (P=0.35, 0.83 and 0.49, respectively). Conclusions: The results revealed that the plasma levels of endothelial markers including E-selectin, sICAM-1, and sVCAM-1 were not significantly associated with DIP in female nurses.

Purpose Dietary inflammatory potential (DIP) is a novel dietary index designed to evaluate individuals’ diets with considering inflammation and anti-inflammation score. In addition, adhesion molecules including soluble intracellular adhesion molecules-1 (sICAM-1), soluble cellular adhesion molecules-1 (sVCAM-1) and E-selectin are important biomarkers to assess endothelium dysfunction which are related to atherosclerosis and cardiovascular complications. Also, there is no study for assessing the association between adhesion molecules and DIP until now as well as other studies that assessed the relationship between dietary inflammatory index or DIP has controversy. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to determine the correlation between DIP and endothelial markers such as E-selectin, sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 among female nurses from Isfahan. In this study, DIP was used instead of DII. Design/methodology/approach This study was performed on 420 healthy nurses. The nurses were selected by random cluster sampling method from private and public Isfahan hospitals. A validated food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was applied to assess the DIP.

At least four independent studies in different clinical settings showed that angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-Is) such as enalapril effectively decrease plasma levels of circulating adhesion molecules (cAMs). To examine whether this effect may be mediated by the decreased action of angiotensin, we compared the effects of enalapril with the direct angiotensin-II antagonist, losartan, on plasma levels of cAMs, and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1). In a randomized trial, we recruited 32 untreated patients (19 male, aged 59±13years) with hypertension, who received either enalapril (mean dose 17mg/day) or losartan (mean dose 77mg/day) at equipotent doses. Enalapril decreased plasma levels of all cAMs after 8weeks of treatment: cE-selectin levels decreased by 13% (P = 0.007), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (cICAM-1) by 15% (P = 0.002) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (cVCAM-1) by 19% (P = 0.003). Similarly, enalapril decreased plasma levels of MCP-1 by 13% (P<0.001). Losartan did not significantly change cAM or MCP-1 plasma concentrations after 8weeks of treatment: cE-selectin levels decreased by 3%, cICAM-1 by 5%, cVCAM-1 by 8%, whereas MCP-1 increased by 2% (all P = NS; not significant). The enalapril effect on percentage changes of cVCAM-1 was significantly different from losartan (P = 0.0429). Eight weeks of antihypertensive treatment with enalapril but not losartan, significantly decreased plasma levels of cAMs and MCP-1 in hypertensive patients. The beneficial effects of ACE-Is on cAMs may have implications for atherogenesis and the reduction of cardiovascular events, which cannot be fully explained by their antihypertensive effects alone.

The aim of the study was to examine the effects of exercise on soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) in sickle cell trait (SCT) athletes with or without α-thalassemia. Six athletes with SCT, seven athletes with both SCT and α-thalassemia (SCTAT), and seven control athletes (Cont) performed an incremental and maximal test on cycloergometer. Levels of sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 were assessed at rest, immediately after the end of exercise, and 1, 2, and 24 h after exercise. Although Cont and SCTAT groups exhibited similar basal plasma levels of inflammatory and adhesion molecules, the SCT group had higher sVCAM-1 basal concentrations. Incremental exercise resulted in a significant increase of sVCAM-1 in all subjects, which remained elevated only in the SCT group during the recovery period. In conclusion, as sVCAM-1 increased with exercise and during the recovery period, our findings support the concept that SCT athletes might be at risk for microcirculatory disturbances and adhesive phenomena developing at rest and several hours after exercise. α-Thalassemia might be considered protective among exercising SCT subjects.

Studies in animals and humans indicate a pivotal role for adhesion molecules (AMs) in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Whereas an association between hypercholesterolaemia and AM expression has been suggested, it is unclear whether lowering cholesterol decreases AM expression and release. We compared the effects of a 3-month treatment with standard doses of three different statins (atorvastatin, simvastatin and pravastatin) on plasma levels of circulating AM (cAM) in 75 hypercholesterolaemic patients in a randomized clinical trial. Plasma levels of circulating (c)E-selectin, circulating intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (cICAM-1) and circulating vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (cVCAM-1) were measured before and after 3 months of therapy. None of the statins lowered plasma cAM levels and pooled analyses of all patients showed a 1.7% [95% confidence interval (CI), -1.4–4.9%] increase in cE-selectin, a 2.1% (95% CI, -0.2–4.4%) increase in cICAM-1, and a 2.7% (95% CI, -0.6–6.1%) increase in cVCAM-1 levels. cAM levels did not decrease, even in patients with a >50% decrease (n = 19) in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. This study provides strong evidence that 3 months of therapy with three different statins does not decrease cAM levels, despite normalization of cholesterol levels, and a minor decrease in C-reactive protein levels in patients with moderate hypercholesterolaemia.

Several studies have reported a positive correlation between levels of soluble adhesion molecules in serum or cerebrospinal fluid and cranial MRI activity. We performed a cross-sectional study in 46 patients with newly diagnosed MS and determined levels of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) as well as vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1) in correlation to the number and area of gadolinium enhancing lesions on cranial magnetic resonance images (MRI). The data revealed a significant positive correlation between sVCAM-1 serum levels and gadolinium enhancing lesions. In addition, CSF to serum ratios for sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 correlated to MRI activity. In patients with a single enhancing lesion (SEL) there was a negative correlation between the QsCAM and the distance of the SEL to the ventricles. As these adhesion molecules are stable and markers of disease activity in MS, we further investigated sVCAM-1 serum levels during treatment with interferon beta-1b (Betaferon®). Significant increases in serum levels for sVCAM-1 in patients receiving Betaferon were associated with a favourable treatment response after 1 year in 17 out of 19 patients and correlated to decreased MRI activity, whereas stable or reduced sVCAM-1 levels occured more often in non-responders (five out of six patients). Therefore it can be hypothezised that soluble adhesion molecules are released from cerebral endothelial cells as an early immunoregulatory activity of the immune system to reduce cellular traffic across the blood brain barrier and this is further enhanced by IFN-beta treatment.

Inflammation-modulating elements are recognized periodontitis (PD) risk factors, nevertheless, the association between dietary inflammatory index (DII) and PD has never been appraised. We aimed to assess the association between DII and PD and the mediation effect of DII in the association of PD with systemic inflammation. Using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2009–2010, 2011–2012 and 2013–2014, participants who received periodontal exam and provided dietary recall data were included. The inflammatory potential of diet was calculated via DII. PD was defined according to the 2012 case definition. White blood cells (WBC), segmented neutrophils and C-reactive protein (CRP) were used as proxies for systemic inflammation. The periodontal measures were regressed across DII values using adjusted multivariate linear regression and adjusted mediation analysis. Overall, 10,178 participants were included. DII was significantly correlated with mean periodontal probing depth (PPD), mean clinical attachment loss (CAL), thresholds of PPD and CAL, WBC, segmented neutrophils and DII (p < 0.01). A linear regression logistic adjusted for multiple confounding variables confirmed the association between DII and mean PPD (B = 0.02, Standard Error [SE]: 0.02, p < 0.001) and CAL (B = −0.02, SE: 0.01, p < 0.001). The association of mean PPD and mean CAL with both WBC and segmented neutrophils were mediated by DII (from 2.1 to 3.5%, p < 0.001). In the 2009–2010 subset, the association of mean CAL with serum CRP was mediated by DII (52.0%, p < 0.01). Inflammatory diet and PD may be associated. Also, the inflammatory diet significantly mediated the association of leukocyte counts and systemic inflammation with PD.

Abstract In response to the chemoattractants interleukin 8, C5a,N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine, and interleukin 15, adhesion molecules P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1 (PSGL-1), intercellular adhesion molecule 3 (ICAM-3), CD43, and CD44 are redistributed to a newly formed uropod in human neutrophils. The adhesion molecules PSGL-1 and ICAM-3 were found to colocalize with the cytoskeletal protein moesin in the uropod of stimulated neutrophils. Interaction of PSGL-1 with moesin was shown in HL-60 cell lysates by isolating a complex with glutathione S-transferase fusions of the cytoplasmic domain of PSGL-1. Bands of 78- and 81-kd were identified as moesin and ezrin by Western blot analysis. ICAM-3 and moesin also coeluted from neutrophil lysates with an anti-ICAM-3 immunoaffinity assay. Direct interaction of the cytoplasmic domains of ICAM-3 and PSGL-1 with the amino-terminal domain of recombinant moesin was demonstrated by protein-protein binding assays. These results suggest that the redistribution of PSGL-1 and its association with intracellular molecules, including the ezrin-radixin-moesin actin-binding proteins, regulate functions mediated by PSGL-1 in leukocytes stimulated by chemoattractants.
