Frontiers in Medicine, 2020 Selectins [endothelial (E), platelet (P), and leucocytes (L)] are a class of cell adhesion molecules, stimulated in response to inflammation. Pre-eclampsia is characterized by inflammation, and angiotensin II is pro-inflammatory.

Selectins in cancer immunity [PDF]
Glycobiology, 2018 Selectins are vascular adhesion molecules that mediate physiological responses such as inflammation, immunity and hemostasis. During cancer progression, selectins promote various steps enabling the interactions between tumor cells and the blood constituents, including platelets, endothelial cells and leukocytes.

Targeting Selectins and Their Ligands in Cancer
Frontiers in Oncology, 2016 Aberrant glycosylation is a hallmark of cancer cells with increased evidence pointing to a role in tumor progression. In particular, aberrant sialylation of glycoproteins and glycolipids have been linked to increased immune cell evasion, drug evasion ...

Selectins modify dendritic cells during atherosclerosis
Chronic Diseases and Translational Medicine, 2018 Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional antigen-presenting cells (APC) that facilitate the development and progression of atherosclerosis. However, DCs also function as novel “switches” between immune activation and immune tolerance and represent a ...

Targeting selectins and selectin ligands in inflammation and cancer [PDF]
Expert Opinion on Therapeutic Targets, 2007 Inflammation and cancer metastasis are associated with extravasation of leukocytes or tumor cells from blood into tissue. Such movement is believed to follow a coordinated and sequential molecular cascade initiated, in part, by the three members of the selectin family of carbohydrate-binding proteins: E-selectin (CD62E), L-selectin (CD62L) and P ...

Selectin and selectin ligand binding: a bittersweet attraction [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2003 Inhibition of leukocyte migration into target organs has long been an attractive, though challenging, basis for anti-inflammatory strategies. However, to date, the manipulation of leukocyte rolling along blood vessels has not yielded successful new therapies.

Perinatal Inflammation: Could Partial Blocking of Cell Adhesion Molecule Function Be a Solution?
Children, 2021 In spite of the great advances made in recent years in prenatal and perinatal medicine, inflammation can still frequently result in injury to vital organs and often constitutes a major cause of morbidity.

MRI Contrast Agents in Glycobiology
Molecules, 2022 Molecular recognition involving glycoprotein-mediated interactions is ubiquitous in both normal and pathological natural processes. Therefore, visualization of these interactions and the extent of expression of the sugars is a challenge in medical ...
