title: [Evaluation of insulin-like growth factor-1 influence on PECAM-1 and ICAM-1 adhesion molecules expression on human umbilical endothelial cells surface].
abstract: Activation, proliferation and regeneration of endothelium form developmental background of many pathological states. In those processes adhesion molecules and growth factors are crucial. Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is important regulator of vascular function, expressing pleiotropic actions. Interactions between endothelial cells and growth factors are complex and environment dependent. THE AIM OF THE STUDY was to assess IGF-1 influence on PECAM-1 and ICAM-1 adhesion molecules expression on human umbilical endothelial cells (HUVEC).
  
  
  METHODS
  Material for study was obtained from fresh umbilical cord. Cell lines were incubated with IGF-1 concentrations of 50 ng/ml and 200 ng/ml. Ratio of PECAM-1 and ICAM-1 expression revealing cells was obtained using the flow cytometry method. In statistic analysis ANOVA test and Duncan's new multiple range test were used.
  
  
  RESULTS
  It was demonstrated, that IGF-1 concentrations of 50 ng/ml and 200 ng/ml enhance PECAM-1 and ICAM-1 endothelial cells expression (respectively to 57.2+/-4.8%, 76.1+/-1.5% and 91.7+/-5.0%, 86.8+/-4.7%) compared to control group (respectively: 20.9+/-0.5% and 26.6+/-0.5%).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Insulin-like growth factor-1 enhances PECAM-1 and ICAM-1 adhesion molecules expression on HUVEC cells, activating the endothelium.
