Background：CD106 is a 110 kD glycosylphosphatidylinositol （GPI）-linked transmembrane protein, also known as VCAM-1 and INCAM-110. It is constitutively expressed on bone marrow stromal cells, myeloid progenitors, splenic dendritic cells, activated endothelial cells, as well as some lymphocytes. CD106 expression can be upregulated on endothelial cells by inflammatory cytokines. CD106 is involved in adhesion and acts as a counter-receptor for VLA-4 （a4/b1 integrin） and LPAM-1 （a4/b7 integrin）.
