Research Abstract |
In this study, we investigated the mechanism underlying the induction of THP-1 monocytic cell adhesion to ICAM-1 by phosphatidylcholine hydroperoxide(PCOOH), a primary oxidation product of phosphatidylcholine. Our results indicate that PCOOH may induce the cell adhesion via Rac activation, actin polymerization, and localization of LFA-1.We also found that non-oxidized phosphatidylserine induces THP-1 cell adhesion to ICAM-1 as well as PCOOH.
