Abstract
Intercellular adhesion molecules 1(ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule 1(VCAM-1) play important roles in the inflammatory process of cerebral ischemic injury.The expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 increases following cerebral ischemia;ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 promote ischemic inflammation through mediating leukocytes adhesion to the endothelial cells and eventually migration into brain tissue;the inhibition of the overexpression and effect of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 can reduce cerebral ischemic injury.
