Cadmium Stimulates the Expression of Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule-1 (VCAM-1) via p38 Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) and JNK Activation in Cerebrovascular Endothelial Cells

Abstract.: In this study, we examined the effect of Cd on the expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and its mechanisms in bEnd.3 cells. The treatment with Cd increased protein and mRNA expressions of VCAM-1 and increased the phosphorylations of p38, JNK, and ERK. The Cd-induced VC...
