Cell-free rolling mediated by L-selectin and sialyl Lewis(x) reveals the shear threshold effect.
The selectin family of adhesion molecules mediates attachment and rolling of neutrophils to stimulated endothelial cells. This step of the inflammatory response is a prerequisite to firm attachment and extravasation. We have reported that microspheres coated with sialyl Lewis(x) (sLe(x)) interact specifically and roll over E-selectin and P-selectin substrates (Brunk et al., 1996; Rodgers et al ...
متن کاملSialyl Lewis(x)-mediated, PSGL-1-independent rolling adhesion on P-selectin.
Selectin-mediated cell adhesion is an essential component of the inflammatory response. In an attempt to unambiguously identify molecular features of ligands that are necessary to support rolling adhesion on P-selectin, we have used a reconstituted ("cell-free") system in which ligand-coated beads are perfused over soluble P-selectin surfaces. We find that beads coated with the saccharides sial...
متن کاملRegulation of L-Selectin–mediated Rolling through Receptor Dimerization
L-selectin binding activity for its ligand expressed by vascular endothelium is rapidly and transiently increased after leukocyte activation. To identify mechanisms for upregulation and assess how this influences leukocyte/endothelial cell interactions, cell-surface dimers of L-selectin were induced using the coumermycin-GyrB dimerization strategy for cross-linking L-selectin cytoplasmic domain...
متن کاملSelectin-mediated rolling of neutrophils on immobilized platelets.
Interaction between neutrophils and platelets at the site of vascular damage or in ischaemic tissue may promote thrombosis and/or vascular occlusion. To study this interaction, we have developed a novel technique that allows visualization of adhesion of flowing neutrophils to immobilized, activated platelets. The total number of adherent neutrophils decreased with increasing wall shear stress i...
متن کاملSelectin Ligands Sialyl-Lewis a and Sialyl-Lewis x in Gastrointestinal Cancers
The tetrasaccharide structures Siaα2,3Galβ1,3(Fucα1,4)GlcNAc and Siaα2,3Galβ1,4(Fucα1,3)GlcNAc constitute the epitopes of the carbohydrate antigens sialyl-Lewis a (sLea) and sialyl-Lewis x (sLex), respectively, and are the minimal requirement for selectin binding to their counter-receptors. Interaction of sLex expressed on the cell surface of leucocytes with E-selectin on endothelial cells allo...
