The contribution of endothelial cell P-selectin to the microvascular flow of mouse sickle erythrocytes in vivo

Embury, S. H.·2004·Blood

Abstract

Microvascular occlusion in sickle cell disease can be initiated by adhesion of sickle red blood cells (RBCs) to the endothelium. Our objective in this study was to verify the relevance in vivo of our discovery that sickle RBCs adhere abnormally to endothelial P-selectin in vitro. We used computer-assisted intravital microscopy to characterize RBC flow velocity (V(RBC)) in mice. We found faster V(RBC) of sickle RBCs in P-selectin knock-out and control mice than in sickle cell mice, which have increased endothelial cell P-selectin expression. Agonist peptide for murine protease-activated receptor-1 (PAR-1), which selectively activates mouse endothelial cells but not platelets, was used to assess the effects of endothelial cell P-selectin on microvascular flow. Suffusion of venules with this agonist stopped flow promptly in normal and sickle mice but not in P-selectin knock-out mice or in control mice pretreated with anti-P-selectin monoclonal antibody or unfractionated heparin (UFH). Agonist-induced slowing of flow was reversed rapidly by suffusion with UFH, provided flow had not already stopped. We conclude that endothelial cell P-selectin contributes to the microcirculatory abnormalities in sickle cell disease and that blocking P-selectin may be useful for preventing painful vasoocclusion in sickle cell disease.

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.
