Interaction of endothelial cells and neutrophilsin vitro: kinetics of thrombomodulin, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), E-selectin, and vas…

1999

SUMMARYRecently markers of endothelial cell activation or injury gained increasing interest as serological parameters of disease activation in vasculitides. Among these, soluble serum thrombomodulin, ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and E-selectin are of particular interest. However, only thrombomodulin showed the expected close correlation. The objective of this study was to investigate in vitro the kinetics of these endothelial cell receptors after interaction of unstimulated or cytokine-activated polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) and endothelial cells in order to find evidence explaining these different clinical findings. Over the time period of up to 48 h of incubation the kinetics of thrombomodulin, I…

Mechanisms of endothelial cell activation by endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol

2020

Abstract Background Endothelial dysfunction promotes atherogenesis, vascular inflammation, and thrombus formation. Reendothelialization after angioplasty is required in order to restore vascular function and to prevent stent thrombosis. The endocannabinoid (eCB) 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) is a known modulator of inflammation. Earlier studies have demonstrated the relevance of this endocannabinoid in human pathophysiology during coronary artery disease and in murine experimental atherogenesis. However, evidence on the impact of 2-AG on endothelial cell function remains scarce. Methods Endothelial repair was studied in two treatment groups of wildtype mice following electrical denudation o…

Ibrutinib Abrogates TREM-1 Mediated Neutrophil Activation

2016

Abstract Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1 (TREM-1) is an activating receptor on neutrophils (PMN) and important in the innate host defence against microbial pathogens. Here we examined the influence of the Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor ibrutinib on TREM-1 dependent activation of human PMNs. Firstly, ibrutinib specifically inhibited TREM-1 mediated PMN activation of the oxidative burst and CD62L shedding, whereas TLR mediated activation remained unaffected. Correspondingly, ibrutinib suppressed ERK phosphorylation after TREM-1, but not after TLR ligation. To clarify whether this TREM-1 specific effect of ibrutinib was also relevant in vivo, we treated mice with ibrut…

Synthetic Inhibitors of Cell Adhesion: A Glycopeptide from E-Selectin Ligand 1 (ESL-1) with the Arabino Sialyl Lewisx Structure

2001

Particularly selective methods are required for the synthesis of arabino sialyl Lewisx glycopeptides owing to the acid-labile β-arabinopyranoside bond. It is important for the inhibition of cell adhesion that the arabino sialyl Lewisx glycopeptide 1, which contains the Gly 672 -Asp 681 sequence of the E-selectin Ligand 1 (ESL-1), binds ten times more strongly than sialyl Lewisx to E-selectin, although it is monovalent and does not contain L-fucose, which is considered essential.

Oligosaccharide recognition by selectins: Synthesis and biological activity of multivalent sialyl lewis-X ligands

1995

Abstract Trivalent sialyl Lewis-X ligands 6–8 anchored onto flexible templates have been synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of E-selectin and P-selectin mediated cell adhesion in cell culture assays and in vivo. Biological activities in vitro correlated with spacer length and lead to ligands with 3-fold (E-selectin) and 5-fold (P-selectin) improved receptor binding avidity per single tetrasaccharide moiety.

(p-Sulfomethyl)phenylalanine as a mimic of O-sulfatyl-tyrosine in synthetic partial sequences of P-Selectin glycoprotein ligand 1 (PSGL-1)

2007

Abstract Fmoc- l -( p -sulfomethyl)phenylalanine, a bioisosteric mimic of acid-sensitive O -sulfatyl tyrosine, was synthesized from l -tyrosine according to a novel route. Partial sequences of the recognition site of P-Selectin glycoprotein ligand 1 (PSGL-1), which contain (sulfomethyl)phenylalanine were synthesized on solid-phase. By fragment condensation, a sialyl Lewis x peptide conjugate containing a (sulfomethyl)phenylalanine mimic of O -sulfatyl tyrosine was prepared without destruction of the acid-sensitive fucoside bond within the saccharide side chain. Compounds of this type are of interest as sufficiently acid-stable potential inhibitors of P-Selectin in inflammatory processes.

Sulfated and Non-Sulfated Glycopeptide Recognition Domains of P-Selectin Glycoprotein Ligand 1 and their Binding to P- and E-Selectin

2009

Total synthesis through block glycosylation and selective chemical O-sulfation of tyrosine residues yielded the glycopeptide recognition domain A (X=SO(3) (-)) of the P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1, in which the terminal sialic acid of the complex hexasaccharide side chain was replaced by (S)-cyclohexyl lactic acid. In binding assays the O-sulfated structure A showed high affinity towards P-selectin, the non-sulfated towards E-selectin.
