Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major global health problem and one of the major causes of cancer-related death worldwide. It is very important to understand the pathogenesis of CRC for early diagnosis, prevention strategies and identification of new therapeutic targets. Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1, CD54) displays an important role in the the pathogenesis of CRC. It is a cell surface glycoprotein of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily and plays an essential role in cell-cell, cell-extracellular matrix interaction, cell signaling and immune process. It is also expressed by tumor cells and modulates their functions, including apoptosis, cell motility, invasion and angiogenesis. The interaction between ICAM-1 and its ligand may facilitate adhesion of tumor cells to the vascular endothelium and subsequently in the promotion of metastasis. ICAM-1 expression determines malignant potential of cancer. In this review, we will discuss the expression, function, prognosis, tumorigenesis, polymorphisms and therapeutic implications of ICAM-1 in CRC.

Abstract
The identification of novel biomarkers for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is of great importance in improving the outcome of patients with HCC. The present study aimed to determine the prognostic significance of the soluble intercellular adhesion molecule (sICAM)-1 in patients with HCC. The present study prospectively collected clinicopathological data from 36 patients with HCC who had undergone successful hepatectomy. An analysis using a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was performed to determine the cut-off value for predicting prognosis. Overall survival (OS), recurrence-free survival (RFS) and potential prognostic factors were analyzed. The ROC curve analysis revealed a sICAM-1 cut-off value of 440 ng/ml. HCC patients with sICAM-1 ≥440 ng/ml exhibited a poorer OS and RFS than those with sICAM-1 <440 ng/ml (P=0.002). sICAM-1 ≥440 ng/ml (hazard ratio=3.623; 95% confidence interval: 1.145-11.458; P=0.028) and Child B (hazard ratio=1.514; 95% confidence interval: 1.066-2.150; P=0.021) were independent prognostic factors for OS, and sICAM-1 ≥440 ng/ml was an independent prognostic factor for RFS (hazard ratio=3.625; 95% confidence interval: 1.233-10.659; P=0.019). Serum sICAM-1 may be a promising predictor for the overall and recurrence-free survival of patients with HCC.

Abstract
Purpose/Aim: Although several prognostic factors for extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (EHC) have been reported, preoperative prognostic factors have yet to be established. We investigated the serum concentration of angiogenic, inflammatory, and nutritional parameters. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-five patients with EHC were enrolled before starting treatment. Preoperative prognostic factors were identified using multivariate analyses. RESULTS The serum soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) levels were significantly higher in the patients with EHC (436.0 ± 43.2 ng/ml) than in the healthy volunteers (228.6 ± 22.0 ng/ml) (p <.001). In addition, the serum IL-6 levels were significantly higher in the patients (18.0 ± 5.6 pg/ml) than in the healthy volunteers (5.7 ± 0.8 pg/ml) (p <.05). The serum IL-6 and sICAM-1 showed a strong correlation (r = 0.559) in the patients with EHC (p <.01). The serum IL-6 (area under the curve = 0.764, p =.030, cut-off level = 11.6) and sICAM-1 (area under the curve = 0.818, p =.007, cutoff level = 322.6) were revealed to be useful as prognostic factors by the receiver operating characteristic curves. The high IL-6 group and the high sICAM-1 group showed poorer DSS than those of the respective low groups. In the multivariate analysis, IL-6 (hazard ratio: 1.050, 95% confidence interval: 1.002-1.100, p =.043) and sICAM-1 (hazard ratio: 1.009, 95% confidence interval: 1.002-1.015, p =.009) were independent prognostic factors for DSS. CONCLUSIONS IL-6 and sICAM-1 were independent preoperative prognostic factors in EHC patients, causing continuous inflammation and malnutrition in collaboration with other pro-angiogenic factors.

Abstract
Progression of colorectal cancer (CRC) is strongly associated with inflammation and other desmoplastic reactions in the tumor cell-surrounding tissue. We successfully isolated fibroblasts from the desmoplastic stroma of human CRC specimens and uninvolved colon tissue of patients treated surgically for CRC and investigated potential functional capacities. All of the isolated fibroblasts were vimentin-positive and CK-20/CD45-negative confirming the fibroblast phenotype. Differential expression patterns were detected between tumor-associated fibroblasts (TAFs) and normal tissue-associated fibroblasts (NAFs) regarding intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression. In 11 of 12 TAF cultures, basal ICAM-1 expression was increased as compared to corresponding NAF cultures (p=0.001). After stimulation of the cultures with interleukin-1β, 8 of the 12 TAF cultures presented higher ICAM-1 levels when compared with the level in the corresponding NAF cultures (p=0.001). Moreover, the adhesive capacity of these cultures for U937 was increased in 8 out of 10 unstimulated and in 10 out of 10 stimulated cultures when TAFs and NAFs were compared. In corresponding tumor tissue sections from the same patients, the amount of ICAM-1-positive fibroblasts was significantly higher than that in the corresponding normal colon mucosa, indicating a tumor-specific effect that was maintained in the isolated cultures. These results indicate that fibroblasts from CRC tissue exhibit an increased affinity for monocytic cells. This increased intercellular interaction may contribute to elongated residence times of monocytes in CRC tissue. Therefore, these isolated fibroblasts are a useful tool for further functional investigation of desmoplastic tissue reactions in CRC.

Abstract
Tumor growth and angiogenic factors are usually overexpressed in colorectal carcinomas. We aimed to assess the prognostic role of VEGF, bFGF, PDGF-AA, EGF, HGF, and E-selectin in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer treated with capecitabine and oxaliplatin (XELOX) chemotherapy protocol. Thirty-eight colorectal cancer patients who had evidence of distant metastasis were enrolled in the study. Angiogenic factors were measured before and after third cycle of chemotherapy. Patients were randomized into three groups, partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), and progressive disease (PD) groups, according to their clinical and radiologic evaluation after three cycles of XELOX chemotherapy. Eighteen patients (47.3 %) achieved partial response, 10 (26.3 %) stable disease, and 10 (26.3 %) progressive disease. VEGF (63.20 Pg/ml vs. 19,79 Pg/ml; p < 0.001), EGF (7.29 ± 3.08 Pg/ml vs. 4.79 ± 2.05 Pg/ml; p < 0.011), HGF (618.16 ± 340.39 Pg/ml vs. 452.02 ± 217.18 Pg/ml; p < 0.049), and PDGF-AA (691.68 ± 187.10 Pg/ml vs. 404.89 ± 168.47 Pg/ml; p < 0.001) were significantly decreased in PR group. PDGF-AA levels were also decreased in SD group (706.66 ± 206.66 Pg/ml vs. 389.79 ± 143.16 Pg/ml; p < 0,001). HGF levels were significantly increased in PD disease group (449.99 Pg/ml vs. 682.22 Pg/ml; p < 0.046). The baseline E-selectin levels were inversely proportional with overall survival that could be an important prognostic factor at the time of diagnosis. This study demonstrated that tumor growth factors can be helpful to determine colorectal cancer prognosis and overall survival in patients with metastatic disease. VEGF, HGF, EGF, and PDGF-AA levels were decreased in PR group. However, meaningful increment was seen HGF levels in PD group. Angiogenic factors and E-selectin provided unique prognostic information in advanced colorectal carcinoma patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is reported that hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) during hepatectomy accelerates liver tumor growth. Hepatic I/R induces inflammation cytokines, which can accelerate the outgrowth of liver tumor. Inhibitory CpG sequence (iCpG) is an inhibitor of TLR9, which plays an important role in hepatic I/R. The aim of this study was to examine whether iCpG could prevent hepatic I/R-induced metastases of the liver tumor. MATERIALS AND METHODS A murine tumor model that underwent partial hepatic I/R or sham operation was treated with iCpG or control DNA sequence (Ctrl ODN). Tumor growth and metastases were observed on day 14 after surgery; Endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecules such as E-selectin and intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) protein expression were measured 24 h after reperfusion by Western blotting; E-selectin and ICAM-1 mRNA expression in hepatic tissue was measured 2 h after reperfusion by RT-PCR; NF-κB activity in hepatic tissue was measured 2 h after reperfusion by electrophoretic gel mobility shift assay. RESULTS The tumor growth in the mice subjected to hepatic I/R was remarkably stimulated when compared with the mice subjected to laparotomy alone. The iCpG had no significant inhibitory effect on tumor growth in sham-operated mice subjected to tumor. However, iCpG could reduce the tumor growth and inhibit the activation of NF-κB and downregulate the E-selectin and ICAM-1 mRNA and protein in the mice with tumor subjected to I/R. CONCLUSIONS ICpG might reduce I/R-induced hepatic metastases of liver tumor cells by inhibiting NF-κB expression and downregulating the adhesive molecules, such as E-selectin and ICAM-1.

Abstract
PURPOSE MHC antigens and adhesion molecules, such as the intracellular adhesion molecule (ICAM-I), play an important role in cellular immune response. We examined the expression patterns of these molecules in both primary and metastatic esophageal carcinoma cells from the same patient and evaluated the cellular immune responses against these cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the esophageal cancer patient (H122), tumor cell lines were established from primary and subcutaneous metastatic lesions. We compared the expression of cell surface molecules on the metastatic tumor cell line (H122SC) with that on the primary tumor cell line (H122ESO) using flow cytometry. Moreover, we analyzed the differences in cellular immune responses against these cell lines, which expressed similar levels of the Tara antigen, using the Tara antigen-specific CTL clone. RESULTS H122SC ICAM-1 expression was significantly lower in H122ESO, and the Tara antigen-specific CTL clone produced lower levels of TNF in response to H122SC than H122ESO. ICAM-1 transfection into the H122SC rendered these cells as sensitive to the CTL clone as the H122ESO. CONCLUSION The metastatic tumor cells displayed lower regulated ICAM-1 expression levels and were less sensitive to specific CTLs. ICAM-1 downregulation may be one mechanism by which tumor cells escape immunologic surveillance.

Abstract
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), one of the most common cancers in population with Chinese or Asian progeny, poses a serious health problem for southern China. It is unfortunate that most NPC victims have had lymph node metastasis (LNM) when first diagnosed. We believe that the 2D based serum proteome analysis can be useful in discovering new biomarkers that may aid in the diagnosis and therapy of NPC patients. To filter the tumor specific antigen markers of NPC, sera from 42 healthy volunteers, 27 non-LNM NPC patients and 37 LNM NPC patients were selected for screening study using 2D combined with MS. Pretreatment strategy, including sonication, albumin and immunoglobulin G (IgG) depletion, was adopted for screening differentially expressed proteins of low abundance in serum. By 2D image analysis and MALDI-TOF-MS identification, twenty-three protein spots were differentially expressed. Three of them were further validated in the sera using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Our research demonstrates that HSP70, sICAM-1 and SAA, confirmed with ELISA at sera and immunohistochemistry, are potential NPC metastasis-specific serum biomarkers which may be of great underlying significance in clinical detection and management of NPC.

Abstract
AIM: To examine whether antithrombin (AT) could prevent hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced hepatic metastasis by inhibiting tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-induced expression of E-selectin in rats.
METHODS: Hepatic I/R was induced in rats and mice by clamping the left branches of the portal vein and the hepatic artery. Cancer cells were injected intrasplenically. The number of metastatic nodules was counted on day 7 after I/R. TNF-α and E-selectin mRNA in hepatic tissue, serum fibrinogen degradation products and hepatic tissue levels of 6-keto-PGF1α, a stable metabolite of PGI2, were measured.
RESULTS: AT inhibited increases in hepatic metastasis of tumor cells and hepatic tissue mRNA levels of TNF-α and E-selectin in animals subjected to hepatic I/R. Argatroban, a thrombin inhibitor, did not suppress any of these changes. Both AT and argatroban inhibited I/R-induced coagulation abnormalities. I/R-induced increases of hepatic tissue levels of 6-keto-PGF1α were significantly enhanced by AT. Pretreatment with indomethacin completely reversed the effects of AT. Administration of OP-2507, a stable PGI2 analog, showed effects similar to those of AT in this model. Hepatic metastasis in congenital AT-deficient mice subjected to hepatic I/R was significantly increased compared to that observed in wild-type mice. Administration of AT significantly reduced the number of hepatic metastases in congenital AT-deficient mice.
CONCLUSION: AT might reduce I/R-induced hepatic metastasis of colon cancer cells by inhibiting TNF-α-induced expression of E-selectin through an increase in the endothelial production of PGI2. These findings also raise the possibility that AT might prevent hepatic metastasis of tumor cells if administered during the resection of liver tumors.

Abstract
Tumour growth and development depend on a complex cascade of angiogenic factors. The aim of the study is evaluation of the level of growth factors VEGF and bFGF, and adhesion molecules sICAM-1, sVCAM-1 in the serum of patients with papillary thyroid cancer. The study comprised 35 patients aged 21-68 years (mean age 46+/-14) who had papillary thyroid cancer diagnosed on the basis of thin needle aspiration biopsy, and were qualified for operative treatment. This group comprised 28 women and seven men. The control group was 26 healthy individuals. Serum concentrations of bFGF, VEGF, sICAM-1, and sVCAM-1 were evaluated by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. We have observed significantly higher mean concentrations of bFGF, VEGF, and sICAM-1 in the serum of patients with thyroid cancer compared with the control group. There was no significant difference between the sVCAM-1 concentrations of the thyroid cancer group and the control group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Serum soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) and total sialic acid (TSA) are related to the metastatic potential of cancer cells. The purpose of the present investigation was to determine sICAM-1 and TSA levels in colorectal carcinoma and correlate their levels with the cancer stage. METHODS The sera from 65 patients with colorectal cancer (18 at Dukes' B, 24 at Dukes' C, 23 at Dukes' D) were extracted before treatment. The concentrations of sICAM-1 and TSA were measured by enzyme-linked immunoassay and the thiobarbituric acid method, respectively, and compared with those from a healthy control group (n = 42). RESULTS Mean serum sICAM-1 and TSA levels were found to be higher in the total patient group than in the control group (P < 0.0001). The concentrations of sICAM-1 and TSA were significantly higher in patients with Dukes' C and Dukes' D. The correlations between sICAM-1 and TSA became more significant as the stage of the disease increased (r = 0.58, P < 0.05 in Dukes' B, r = 0.88, P < 0.01 in Dukes' C and r = 0.81, P < 0.01 in Dukes' D). CONCLUSIONS The results of this investigation indicate that sICAM-1 and TSA are the best of the tested markers. These markers should prove useful for monitoring malignant disease stage and for evaluating the effectiveness of various therapeutic approaches for colorectal carcinomas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical stresses, including hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R), promote cancer growth and metastasis. We have reported that continuous hepatic I/R increases liver damage and promoted liver metastasis from colon cancer, whereas intermittent I/R causes less liver damage. We therefore examined whether intermittent I/R could reduce liver metastasis in a rat model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Adult male Fischer rats was divided between three groups: group A (control), which received laparotomy for 120 min with no liver ischemia; group B (continuous I/R), which received 60 min of 70% partial liver ischemia followed by 60 min of reperfusion; and group C (intermittent I/R), which received 15 min of 70% ischemia and 15 min of reperfusion, repeated four times. Just before closing the abdomen, all animals were inoculated intrasplenically with rat colon adenocarcinoma cells (RCN-H4). Tumor nodules on the liver surface were counted 3 weeks later. In addition, expression of E-selectin mRNA in liver was examined at 1, 3, and 6 h after completing I/R by a reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS Continuous I/R (B) greatly promoted liver metastasis in both ischemic and nonischemic liver lobes, whereas intermittent I/R (C) showed significantly fewer metastasis than group B in both lobes. Significantly less E-selectin mRNA was expressed in group C than in group B. CONCLUSIONS Intermittent I/R limits expression of E-selectin mRNA and liver metastasis. Intermittent hepatic I/R is less stressful than continuous I/R, minimizing liver metastasis by colon cancer cells through avoidance of E-selectin up-regulation.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Adhesion proteins such as soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) may be important markers for early atherosclerosis and some other diseases. To devise optimum specimen collection procedures, we investigated the effects on serum sICAM-1 of several preanalytical factors (factors that occur before a specimen is analyzed) such as the time of the day, food ingestion, and physical and psychological stress.
Methods: Three sets of experiments were conducted: (a) 30 subjects were investigated during the morning, after an overnight fast, and then after the usual breakfast and at 1200; (b) 20 subjects were studied before and after exposure to thermal stress (sauna + swimming in ice-cold water); and (c) 15 volunteers were investigated after their driving license examination and during a (stress-free) control session. Conventional methods and kits were used to determine the blood picture and serum sICAM-1.
Results: All of these preanalytical factors induced a significant increase (∼10%) in the concentration of sICAM-1.
Conclusion: It is advisable to consider timing, food intake, and stress when collecting specimens and analyzing data on the concentration of sICAM-1 in serum.
