Platelet P-Selectin Levels in Relation to Plasma Soluble P-Selectin and -Thromboglobulin Levels in Atrial Fibrillation
Background and Purpose—The increased risk of stroke and thromboembolism in atrial fibrillation (AF) may be related to a prothrombotic or hypercoagulable state, with abnormalities of hemostasis and platelet activation. To investigate the role of platelets in AF and the influence of antithrombotic therapy, we developed and then applied a new assay to detect the absolute amount of P-selectin per p...

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 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 کاملIncreased levels of soluble P-selectin in hypercholesterolemic patients.
BACKGROUND Hypercholesterolemia is considered a major risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis. Enhanced lipid peroxidation and persistent platelet activation can be observed in vivo in hypercholesterolemic patients and may have pathophysiological implications in the occurrence of cardiovascular events. P-selectin may play an important role in the pathogenesis of multicellular events,...
