Abstract

Periodic recurrence of painful vaso‐occlusive crisis is the defining feature of sickle cell disease. Among multiple pathologies associated with this disease, sickle red cell–endothelium interaction has been implicated as a potential initiating mechanism in vaso‐occlusive events. This review focuses on various interrelated mechanisms involved in human sickle red cell adhesion. We discuss in vitro and microcirculatory findings on sickle red cell adhesion, its potential role in vaso‐occlusion, and the current understanding of receptor‐ligand interactions involved in this pathological phenomenon. In addition, we discuss the contribution of other cellular interactions (leukocytes recruitment and leukocyte–red cell interaction) to vaso‐occlusion, as observed in transgenic sickle mouse models. Emphasis is given to recently discovered adhesion molecules that play a predominant role in mediating human sickle red cell adhesion. Finally, we analyze various therapeutic approaches for inhibiting sickle red cell adhesion by targeting adhesion molecules and also consider therapeutic strategies that target stimuli involved in endothelial activation and initiation of adhesion.

  • Sickling-dependent erythrocyte membrane damage exposes adhesion molecules and binding motifs not normally present on erythrocytes, including phosphatidyl serine, B-CAM-1/Lu, IAP, and ICAM-4.

    “Importantly, sickling-dependent damage of erythrocyte membranes also promotes exposure of adhesion molecules and binding motifs not normally expressed on erythrocytes, such as phosphatidyl serine (PS), basal cell adhesion molecule-1/Lutheran (B-CAM-1/Lu), integrin-associated protein (IAP), and intercellular-adhesion-molecule-4 (ICAM-4) (7, 9, 15).”

    From Pathophysiology of Sickle Cell Disease (2019) · cites this paper as [15]

    The ADHESION MOLECULES section (page not supplied) identifies exposed PS and lists B-CAM-1/Lu, IAP, and ICAM-4 as molecules involved in sickle red-cell adhesion. It says the latter three require activation via signal transduction, not that sickling-dependent membrane damage exposes them. It also describes ICAM-4 as expressed on erythroid cells, so the claim that these molecules are not normally expressed on erythrocytes is not supported. (LLM, conf=0.89)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
