| 1 | In static culture, simvastatin potentiated the TNFalpha-induced increase in VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 mRNA but not total protein at 24 h. Mevalonate, a precursor to cholesterol biosynthesis, eliminated the effect of simvastatin. | Simvastatin | intercellular adhesion molecule 1 | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | We conclude that simvastatin enhances VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 gene expression in TNFalpha-activated endothelial cells through inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase. | Simvastatin | intercellular adhesion molecule 1 | Homo sapiens |
| 3 | High levels of laminar shear stress prevented the upregulation of VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 by simvastatin suggesting that an induction of cell adhesion molecules by statins may not occur in endothelial cells exposed to shear stress from blood flow. | Simvastatin | intercellular adhesion molecule 1 | Homo sapiens |
