Adhesion molecules are important in T-cell trafficking to sites of inflammation. We determined levels of circulating vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), L-selectin, and E-selectin in the serum of 147 patients with definite multiple sclerosis of the remitting-relapsing or secondary progressive type. Soluble VCAM-1 and L-selectin concentrations were increased compared to levels in a large group of control subjects. Levels were highest in patients with gadolinium-enhancing lesions on magnetic resonance imaging (VCAM-1: 1,011 +/- 276 vs 626 +/- 87 ng/ml; L-selectin: 1,130 +/- 272 vs 793 +/- 207 ng/ml [mean +/- standard deviation]; p < 0.0001 vs patients without enhancing lesions). Serum levels of soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor (60 kd) were also raised (2.64 +/- 1.23 vs 2.17 +/- 0.69 ng/ml in subjects with other neurological diseases and 2.1 +/- 0.77 ng/ml in healthy control subjects; p < 0.05). Soluble VCAM-1 and L-selectin levels were correlated to concentrations of soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor. In 13 patients with viral encephalitis, similar observations were made. Raised levels of soluble VCAM-1 and L-selectin probably reflect cytokine-induced endothelial cell and T-lymphocyte/monocyte activation occurring in the process of T-cell migration into the central nervous system. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha may be critically involved.

D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images.

D009103 Multiple Sclerosis An autoimmune disorder mainly affecting young adults and characterized by destruction of myelin in the central nervous system. Pathologic findings include multiple sharply demarcated areas of demyelination throughout the white matter of the central nervous system. Clinical manifestations include visual loss, extra-ocular movement disorders, paresthesias, loss of sensation, weakness, dysarthria, spasticity, ataxia, and bladder dysfunction. The usual pattern is one of recurrent attacks followed by partial recovery (see MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, RELAPSING-REMITTING), but acute fulminating and chronic progressive forms (see MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, CHRONIC PROGRESSIVE) also occur.
