High concentrations of soluble P-selectin are associated with risk of venous thromboembolism and the P-selectin Thr715 variant.
BACKGROUND The cell adhesion molecule P-selectin has an important role in the pathophysiology of thrombosis. The effect on venous thromboembolism (VTE) of increased circulating concentrations of soluble P-selectin (sP-selectin) and their association with the P-selectin variant Thr715Pro is still uncertain. METHODS This study was a case-control study of 116 patients with confirmed recurrent VT...
متن کاملSoluble E-selectin and P-Selectin Serum Levels in Patients with Psoriasis Compared to Healthy Controls
Introduction: Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin disease in which abnormal individual immune reactivity plays an important role. Eselectin and P-selectin are adhesion molecules expressed on vascular endothelial cells in several inflammatory skin diseases, including psoriasis. The aim of the present study was to describe selected immunological changes, concerning adhesion molecules status (sEsele...
متن کاملStructural and functional characterization of monomeric soluble P-selectin and comparison with membrane P-selectin.
P-selectin is an adhesion receptor for leukocytes on thrombin-activated platelets and endothelial cells. It contains a NH2-terminal carbohydrate-recognition domain, an epidermal growth factor motif, nine consensus repeats, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic tail. We expressed two soluble forms of P-selectin, one truncated after the ninth repeat (tPS) and the other lacking the transmembra...
متن کاملSoluble P-selectin and the risk of future cardiovascular events.
BACKGROUND P-selectin, a cell-surface adhesion molecule involved in leukocyte rolling and attachment, has been hypothesized to play a role in the initiation of atherosclerosis. However, little clinical data are available evaluating the role of soluble P-selectin in determining vascular risk. METHODS AND RESULTS In a large-scale prospective study of apparently healthy women, we measured baseli...
متن کاملCLINICAL TRIALS AND OBSERVATIONS High plasma levels of soluble P-selectin are predictive of venous thromboembolism in cancer patients: results from the Vienna Cancer and Thrombosis Study (CATS)
Cancer patients are at high risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE). Laboratory parameters with a predictive value for VTE could help stratify patients into highor low-risk groups. The cell adhesion molecule P-selectin was recently identified as risk factor for VTE. To investigate soluble P-selectin (sP-selectin) in cancer patients as risk predictor for VTE, we performed a prospective cohort stud...
