Abstract.

Background/Purpose: The aim of the present study was to investigate the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) by sinusoidal endothelial cells (SECs) during hypoxia-reoxygenation in an obstructive jaundice model.

Methods: Male Wistar rats aged 6 to 8 weeks were assigned to an obstructive jaundice group (group OJ; n= 8) and a sham-operated control group (group S; n= 8). Using flow cytometry, we determined the percentage of ICAM-1-positive cells and the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of ICAM-1 per cell in each group during hypoxia-reoxygenation.

Results: The percentage of ICAM-1-positive cells in group OJ did not change significantly under successive incubation conditions. However, the MFI in group OJ differed significantly between normoxia and 24-h renormoxia. The present study investigated the function of isolated SECs from rats with obstructive jaundice and hypoxia-reoxygenation. The percentage of ICAM-1-positive cells and the MFI of ICAM-1-positive cells showed quite similar changes caused by hypoxia-reoxygenation stress in group S and Group OJ. The ICAM-1 expression increased with hypoxia-reoxygenation in both normal and OJ SECs, and the amount of ICAM-1, on the whole, increased. Obstructive jaundice increased the percentage of ICAM-1-positive cells from the normal state.

Conclusions: The amount of ICAM-1 increased with hypoxia-reoxygenation in obstructive jaundice than normal state.
