Only endothelial VCAM-1 (higher in RA with than in RA without DMARD treatment: 2.0 [0–3.0] versus 0 [0–3.0]; P = 0.035) and endothelial E-selectin (lower in RA with than in RA without corticosteroid treatment: 0.5 [0–1.5] versus 1.5 [0–3.0]; P = 0.017) were significantly different as a function of treatment. Here, VCAM1 is linked to rheumatoid arthritis.
