A further study revealed hypoxic trophoblast HMGB1-induced cytotoxicity and leukostasis of HUVEC as well as higher expression of cell adhesion molecules (VCAM-1 and ICAM-1) could be reversed by pretreatment with STS.
The aim of this study was to determine whether leukostasis is present in the retina, to evaluate the levels of pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) and intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) levels in the blood of SDT rats, and to examine the effects of PEDF on leukostasis.
