Role of selectins in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery
A M Lefer

Abstract

During reperfusion of ischemic myocardium, there is a well-orchestrated interplay between the coronary vascular endothelium and the circulating neutrophils. This interplay involves the initial slowing or "rolling" of neutrophils along the endothelium during the early moments of reperfusion, followed by firm attachment and amplification of the neutrophil response, and culminating with the diapedesis of neutrophils into the myocardial parenchyma where neutrophil-myocyte interaction contributes to the necrotic process. The selectins are glycoproteins that play a key role in the early phases of neutrophil adherence and activation. There are three members of the selectin family: P-selectin on endothelial cells and platelets, L-selectin on neutrophils, and E-selectin on endothelium. Monoclonal antibodies directed specifically toward these selectins and their associated ligands (eg, Sialyl Lewisx) not only substantiate their role in the dynamic process of neutrophil-mediated reperfusion injury but also offer a unique therapeutic opportunity to interfere with this cascade of inflammatory events.

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. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
