Abstract

Transient nature of adhesive interactions occurring during cell margination is mainly dependent on expression of selectins which are shed by activated cells. This shedding in the circulation may play an important role as anti-inflammatory mediator. Haemodialysis is also associated with P-selectin (CD62P)/sialyl-Lewis(x) (CD15s) interactions which mediate platelet-leukocyte coaggregation. We further investigated the mechanisms underlying leukocyte margination during haemodialysis. CD15s, CD11b and CD61 expression on circulating leukocytes from patients dialysed on synthetic membranes (modified polyacrylonitrile (SPAN), polysulphone (PS), and polyacrylonitrile (AN69) was assessed by cytofluorometry in a prospective crossover trial. We measured plasma levels C3a/C3a desArg, soluble CD62P, and CD62E molecules obtained from patients and healthy individuals. Expression of CD11b and CD15s was upregulated on neutrophils from patients dialysed with SPAN and PS membranes during the dialysis session. A significant negative correlation was found between the expression of CD11b or CD15s molecules and neutrophil counts as well as between CD15s expression and monocyte counts during haemodialysis. As assessed by CD61 expression on leukocytes, ...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
