Abstract

Selectins (E-, L- and P-selectin) and their most important counter-receptor P-selectin glycoprotein ligand (SELPLG) facilitate the interaction of platelets, leukocytes and endothelial cells at inflammatory sites. Selectin polymorphisms/haplotypes have been associated with cardiovascular disease. We investigated the association between haplotypes (H) of these four genes and deep venous thrombosis (DVT) risk. We additionally explored the effect of linkage disequilibrium (LD) with the nearby Factor V Leiden mutation (FVL). Furthermore, interactions between SELPLG polymorphisms and selectin polymorphisms were investigated. Leiden Thrombophilia Study (LETS) subjects were genotyped for 24 polymorphisms by TaqMan or PCR-RFLP, detecting all common haplotypes in four blocks. P-selectin was analyzed in two blocks, upstream (SELPup) and downstream (SELPdown) of the recombination hotspot. In E- and L-selectin, none of the haplotypes was associated with DVT risk. In SELPup, H2-carriers had a 1.3-fold increased risk (95% CI, 1.0-1.7), whereas H4-carriers had a 1.4-fold decreased risk (95% CI, 0.5-1.0). In SELPdown, H2-carriers had a 1.3-fold increased risk (95% CI, 1.0-1.7). Because of LD with FVL, we subsequently excluded all FVL-carriers a...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

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.
