Function

Cell adhesion glycoprotein predominantly expressed on the surface of endothelial cells that plays an important role in immune surveillance and inflammation. Acts as a major regulator of leukocyte adhesion to the endothelium through interaction with different types of integrins. During inflammatory responses, binds ligands on the surface of activated endothelial cells to initiate the activation of calcium channels and the plasma membrane-associated small GTPase RAC1 leading to leukocyte transendothelial migration. Serves also as a quality-control checkpoint for entry into bone marrow by providing a 'don't-eat-me' stamping in the context of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class-I presentation.

Activity summary

VCAM1 also known as vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 plays an important role in mediating adhesion and signal transduction. VCAM1 has an approximate molecular mass of 110 kDa. It is expressed on the surface of endothelial cells and can be upregulated by cytokines released during inflammation. The protein serves as a ligand for the integrin VLA-4 also known as α4β1 and contributes to the adhesion of leukocytes to endothelial cells.

Biological function summary

Adhesion molecules like VCAM1 participate in immune response by recruiting leukocytes to sites of inflammation. VCAM1 helps guide immune cells to directed locations where they perform defense activities. Although VCAM1 is not part of any known large protein complex its interaction with integrins facilitates the migration of immune cells across the endothelium and into tissue.

Pathways

VCAM1 contributes significantly to the leukocyte extravasation process in inflammatory pathways. It plays a role in both the cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction pathway and the NF-kB signaling pathway which are essential for immune response and cell signaling. Through these pathways it interacts with proteins like ICAM1 and various chemokines helping to coordinate the immune cell movement through vascular tissue barriers.

Associated diseases and disorders

Abnormal regulation of VCAM1 links to various cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. The protein levels may increase in these conditions promoting excessive immune cell recruitment and tissue damage. VCAM1 also interfaces with other proteins like ICAM1 in these pathological states which together contribute to the progression and severity of these diseases.

    Flow Cytometry (Intracellular) - FITC Anti-VCAM1 antibody [EPR5047] (ab223982)

    Overlay histogram showing NIH3T3 cells stained with ab223982 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100 for 15 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab223982, 1/500 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C.

    Isotype control antibody (black line) was Rabbit IgG (monoclonal) FITC (FITC Rabbit IgG, monoclonal [EPR25A] - Isotype Control ab223339) used at the same concentration and conditions as the primary antibody. Unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control.

    Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 50 mW Blue laser (488nm) and 530/30 bandpass filter.

    This antibody gave a positive signal in NIH3T3 cells fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min)/permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100 for 15 min used under the same conditions.

The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5 min), permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at +4°C with ab223982 at 1/100 dilution (shown in Green) and Alexa Fluor® 594 Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Microtubule Marker ab195889, Mouse monoclonal to alpha Tubulin (Alexa Fluor® 594), at 1/250 dilution (shown in red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue). Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).

    This product also gave a positive signal under the same testing conditions in NIH3T3 cells fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min).
