Abstract

The effects of cilostazol on the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and inflammatory factors in plasma in patients with thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) were studied. Plasma viscosity, fibrinogen, total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG) were detected for the healthy control, TAO and cilostazol groups, respectively. Results showed that compared with those in the control group, the plasma viscosity, fibrinogen, TC and TG levels in TAO group were significantly increased. By contrast, compared with those in TAO group, the plasma viscosity, fibrinogen, TC and TG levels in the cilostazol group were significantly decreased. ELISA results revealed that ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 expression levels in TAO group were obviously increased compared with those in control group. ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 expression levels in cilostazol group were obviously decreased compared with those in TAO group. According to RT-PCR, the mRNA expression levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in TAO group were significantly higher than those in control group, while the levels in cilostazol group were significantly decreased compared with those in TAO group. In addition, RT-PCR and western blotting proved that expression of both mRNA and protein of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in TAO group was significantly increased and obviously decreased after administration of cilostazol. The results of analysis of variance showed that the differences of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 expression was statistically significant among the control, TAO and cilostazol groups (p<0.01). Cilostazol can significantly reduce the TAO-induced abnormal increase in ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and inflammatory factor expression in plasma in patients. It was proven that cilostazol has a good anti-TAO effect.
