Serum soluble E-selectin levels in Kawasaki disease

Scandinavian Journal of Rheumatology
D S Kim, K Y Lee

Abstract

Serum sE-selectin levels in KD were tested. In the KD patients' sera during the acute phase, the levels of circulating sE-selectin were markedly elevated (27.5 +/- 10.9 ng/ml) compared to 3.1 +/- 1.0 ng/ml in the control subjects (p < 0.0001). The serum sE-selectin levels remained significantly elevated in the subacute phase (16.2 +/- 7.3 ng/ml; p < 0.005). The acute phase sE-selectin levels and TNF-alpha correlated well in a linear pattern (r2 = 0.64, p < 0.01). Also the acute phase sE-selectin levels and IL-6 were well correlated (r2 = 0.54, p < 0.05). The elevated serum sE-selectin levels in patients with KD provides additional evidence for the relationship between acute vasculitis and serum sE-selectin.

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.
