In this context, adhesion molecules such as platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) may reflect the degree of endothelial activation. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate serum levels of PECAM-1, ICAM-1, and VCAM-1 in patients with SLE to investigate their potential role as biomarkers of disease activity and future relapse. We investigated 52 patients with SLE: 15 (28.8%) with disease exacerbation (SLE disease activity index [SLEDAI] ≥ 5 points) and 37 (71.2%) in remission (SLEDAI < 5 points), and 12 controls matched by sex and age. All patients met the 2019 EULAR/ACR criteria for SLE. Serum levels of selected adhesion molecules were determined in all participants with the Luminex Discovery Assay Human Premixed Multi-Analyte Kit. We observed no significant differences in the serum levels of PECAM-1 and ICAM-1 between active and inactive SLE patients or between active/inactive SLE patients and healthy controls, but also considering all SLE cases and the control group. However, VCAM-1 levels were 96.8% higher in the active SLE patients (p < 0.001) and 35.4% increase in inactive SLE as compared to controls (p = 0.016), with a similar level between active and inactive SLE patients (p = 0.11).
