E- and P-Selectin: Differences, Similarities and Implications for the Design of P-Selectin Antagonists

Abstract: Selectins form a family of Ca 2+ -dependent carbohydrate binding proteins that mediate the initial step of leukocyte recruitment in the inflammatory process. Blocking of selectins is therefore considered a promising therapeutic approach to treat acute and chronic inflammatory diseases which are caused by excessive extravasation of leukocytes. This mini-review highlights the major structural differences between E- and P-selectin and summarizes the resulting strategies for the design of selectin antagonists.

“…As an important member of selectins, P-selectin is a sign of endothelial cells' and platelets' activation, playing an essential role in the occurrence of a variety of inflammatory diseases [19,20]. It is currently considered that P-selectin and its mediated endothelial injury and platelet aggregation are involved in the development of DN [21].…”

“…These events are driven by the cell surface levels of PSGL-1 on leukocytes, and of P-selectin on the surface of activated circulating platelets, as evidenced by the fact that administration of either anti-PSGL-1 or anti-P-selectin antibodies almost entirely abrogates pulmonary recruitment of eosinophils, neutrophils and T cells in mice ( Pitchford et al 2005 , 2008 ; Kornerup et al 2010 ). As a critical step in the cascade of events required for the recruitment of inflammatory cells, the P-selectin/PSGL-1 interaction therefore represents a promising target for therapeutic intervention, e.g., in chronic inflammatory conditions such as asthma and COPD ( Binder and Ernst 2011 ).…”

“…There are two main pharmacological anti-selectin strategies: the direct disruption of the selectin/selectin-ligand interaction with a selectin antagonist ( Binder and Ernst 2011 ), and the reduction of cell surface levels of functional PSGL-1, the main selectin ligand. Structurally, PSGL-1 is a homodimer composed of two heavily O -glycosylated 120-kDa monomers ( Wilkins et al 1996 , reviewed in Moore 1998 ).…”

“…Progresses in the development of glycomimetics targeted against sugar binding proteins (lectins) have been reviewed recently [8, 13,14]. Additional recent examples include glycomimetic antagonists of selectins, [18] [22]. In the present review, after describing some general characteristics of glycomimetic structures and of their design and to recapitulate some points about medically relevant lectins, we will describe some examples of design synthesis and characterization of monovalent and multivalent antagonists of the dendritic cell C-lectin DC-SIGN (dendritic cell-specific intercellular adhesion molecule 3-grabbing non integrin), [23] implicated in many infection processes.…”
