pubmed:abstractText
Binding of circulating cells to endothelium is mediated by recognition between endothelial adhesion molecules and their counter-receptors. The beta 2 integrins are a group of adhesion molecules, mainly expressed on leukocytes, that mediate intercellular binding by recognizing their counterparts on endothelial cells, among others ICAM-1. In this study we have studied the regulation of this interaction in myelomonocytic cells treated with genistein, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor with several other biological functions. We show that genistein upregulates the surface expression of the beta 2-integrins in the monoblastic THP-1 and to a lesser extent in the promyelocytic HL-60 leukemia cell lines. This upregulation leads to an increase in the adherence of THP-1 cells to ICAM-1. Genistein also modulates the expression of ICAM-1 on endothelial cells by potentiating the upregulating effect of TNF and IFN-gamma. Genistein may thus enhance intercellular binding by affecting both the endothelium and the circulating cells.
