Abstract
Intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) is a transmembrane protein in the immunoglobulin superfamily expressed on the surface of multiple cell populations and upregulated by inflammatory stimuli. It mediates cellular adhesive interactions by binding to the β2 integrins macrophage antigen 1 and leukocyte function-associated antigen 1, as well as other ligands. It has important roles in the immune system, including in leukocyte adhesion to the endothelium and transendothelial migration, and at the immunological synapse formed between lymphocytes and antigen-presenting cells. ICAM-1 has also been implicated in the pathophysiology of diverse diseases from cardiovascular diseases to autoimmune disorders, certain infections, and cancer. In this review, we summarize the current understanding of the structure and regulation of the ICAM1 gene and the ICAM-1 protein. We discuss the roles of ICAM-1 in the normal immune system and a selection of diseases to highlight the breadth and often double-edged nature of its functions. Finally, we discuss current therapeutics and opportunities for advancements.

Abstract
Intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) related long noncoding RNA (ICR) is on the antisense strand of ICAM-1 and regulates ICAM-1 expression. ICAM-1 is involved in renal tubulointerstitial injury; however, the expression and clinical implication of ICR are not determined in IgA nephropathy (IgAN). We compared renal ICR levels in 337 IgAN patients with those of 89 biopsy controls, and a markedly increased ICR level was observed in IgAN patients. By Cox proportional hazards models, higher levels of renal ICR were independently associated with disease progression event defined as end-stage renal disease or ≥ 40% decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate. Patients in the highest tertile of renal ICR had a 3.5-fold higher risk for disease progression compared with those in the lowest tertile. The addition of renal ICR to a model with traditional risk factors improved risk prediction of disease progression (net reclassification index: 0.31 [95% CI 0.01–0.50]; integrated discrimination index: 0.10 [95% CI 0.04–0.16]). Inhibition of ICR by transfection with plasmids containing ICR shRNA significantly reduced expression of collagen I and α-SMA, and phosphorylation of Akt and mTOR in TGF-β1- treated HK-2 cells. Our findings suggest that renal ICR might be an independent predictor of IgAN progression and contribute to renal fibrosis.

Abstract
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of visual impairment in the aging population with poorly known pathogenesis and lack of effective treatment. Age and family history are the strongest AMD risk factors, and several loci were identified to contribute to AMD. Recently, also the epigenetic profile was associated with AMD, and some long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) were shown to involve in AMD pathogenesis. The Vax2os1/2 (ventral anterior homeobox 2 opposite strand isoform 1) lncRNAs may modulate the balance between pro- and anti-angiogenic factors in the eye contributing to wet AMD. The stress-induced dedifferentiation of retinal pigment epithelium cells can be inhibited by the ZNF503-AS1 (zinc finger protein 503 antisense RNA 2) and LINC00167 lncRNAs. Overexpression of the PWRN2 (Prader-Willi region non-protein-coding RNA 2) lncRNA aggravated RPE cells apoptosis and mitochondrial impairment induced by oxidative stress. Several other lncRNAs were reported to exert protective or detrimental effects in AMD. However, many studies are limited to an association between lncRNA and AMD in patients or model systems with bioinformatics. Therefore, further works on lncRNAs in AMD are rational, and they should be enriched with mechanistic and clinical studies to validate conclusions obtained in high-throughput in vitro research.

A long noncoding RNA antisense to ICAM-1 is involved in allergic asthma associated hyperreactive response of airway epithelial cells. Mucosal Immunol 2021; 14:630-639. [PMID: 33122732 PMCID: PMC8081750 DOI: 10.1038/s41385-020-00352-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2020] [Revised: 10/11/2020] [Accepted: 10/14/2020] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
Epithelial cells of the conducting airways are a pivotal first line of defense against airborne pathogens and allergens that orchestrate inflammatory responses and mucociliary clearance. Nonetheless, the molecular mechanisms responsible for epithelial hyperreactivity associated with allergic asthma are not completely understood. Transcriptomic analysis of human airway epithelial cells (HAECs), differentiated in-vitro at air-liquid interface (ALI), showed 725 differentially expressed immediate-early transcripts, including putative long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). A novel lncRNA on the antisense strand of ICAM-1 or LASI was identified, which was induced in LPS-primed HAECs along with mucin MUC5AC and its transcriptional regulator SPDEF. LPS-primed expression of LASI, MUC5AC, and SPDEF transcripts were higher in ex-vivo cultured asthmatic HAECs that were further augmented by LPS treatment. Airway sections from asthmatics with increased mucus load showed higher LASI expression in MUC5AC+ goblet cells following multi-fluorescent in-situ hybridization and immunostaining. LPS- or IL-13-induced LASI transcripts were mostly enriched in the nuclear/perinuclear region and were associated with increased ICAM-1, IL-6, and CXCL-8 expression. Blocking LASI expression reduced the LPS or IL-13-induced epithelial inflammatory factors and MUC5AC expression, suggesting that the novel lncRNA LASI could play a key role in LPS-primed trained airway epithelial responses that are dysregulated in allergic asthma.
