Abstract Background Intercellular adhesion molecule I ICAM-I is an immunoglobulin-like cell adhesion molecule expressed on the surface of multiple cell types including airway epithelial cells. It has been documented that cross-linking ICAM-1 on the surface of leukocytes results in changes in cellular function through outside-inside signaling however the effect of cross-linking ICAM-1 on the surface of airway epithelial cells is currently unknown. The objective of this study was to investigate whether or not cross-linking ICAM-1 on the surface of airway epithelial cells phosphorylated MAP kinases or stimulated chemokine expression and secretion. Methods The human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells and primary cultures of normal human bronchial epithelial NHBE cells were used in these studies. To increase ICAM-1 surface expression cultures were stimulated with TNFa to enhance ICAM-1 surface expression. Following ICAM-1 upregulation ICAM-1 was ligated with a murine anti-human ICAM-1 antibody and subsequently cross-linked with
