Objective:To explore the effect of pioglitazone(PIO)on expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1)in atherosclerotic rabbit aorta.Methods:Newzealand white rabbits were divide into 5 groups:normal control
normal+low dose of PIO
and AS control
AS+low dose of PIO
AS+high dose of PIO.Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the protein of ICAM-1.Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)was used to detect the mRNA of ICAM-1.Results:ICAM-1 protein and mRNA in AS plaques.PIO could inhibit the expression of ICAM-1 protein and mRNA(P<0.05).The effect of high dose was more than that of were highly expressed low dose(P<0.05).Conclusion:PIO could inhibit the expression of ICAM-1 and further produce its anti-inflammatory effect on AS.
