IBD-related cell types and highly expressive receptors or cell adhesion molecules.
| Cell type | Receptor and cell adhesion molecule |
|---|---|
| Intestine epithelial cell | Transferrin receptor, CD44, CD98 |
| Macrophage | Mannose receptor, macrophage galactose lectin, transferrin receptor, folate receptor-β, CD44, F4/80 |
| Dendritic cell | Mannose receptor, macrophage galactose lectin, CD44, F4/80 |
| Vascular endothelial cell | Selectin (E-, P-, L-selectin), integrin (α4β1, α4β7), adhesion molecule (ICAM-1, ICAM-2, VCAM-1, MadCAM-1) |
CAM, cell adhesion molecules; ICAM, intercellular adhesion molecule; VCAM, vascular cell adhesion molecule.
