Heparin’s anti-inflammatory effects require glucosamine 6-O-sulfation and are mediated by blockade of L- and P-selectins
Open accessAbstract
Heparin has been used clinically as an anticoagulant and antithrombotic agent for over 60 years.Here we show that the potent anti-inflammatory property of heparin results primarily from blockade of P-selectin and L-selectin.Unfractionated heparin and chemically modified analogs were tested as inhibitors of selectin binding to immobilized sialyl Lewis X and of cell adhesion to immobilized selectins or thrombin-activated endothelial cells.Compared with unfractionated heparin, the modified heparinoids had inhibitory activity in this general order: over-O-sulfated heparin > heparin > 2-O,3-O-desulfated ≥ N-desulfated/N-acetylated heparin ≥ carboxyl-reduced heparin ≥ N-,2-O,3-Odesulfated heparin >> 6-O-desulfated heparin.The heparinoids also showed similar differences in their ability to inhibit thioglycollate-induced peritonitis and oxazolone-induced delayed-type hypersensitivity.Mice deficient in P-or L-selectins showed impaired inflammation, which could be further reduced by heparin.However, heparin had no additional effect in mice deficient in both P-and L-selectins.We conclude that (a) heparin's anti-inflammatory effects are mainly mediated by blocking P-and L-selectin-initiated cell adhesion; (b) the sulfate groups at C6 on the glucosamine residues play a critical role in selectin inhibition; and (c) some non-anticoagulant forms of heparin retain anti-inflammatory activity.Such analogs may prove useful as therapeutically effective inhibitors of inflammation.

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.
