Popis: We assessed the effects and potential mechanism of romote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) on leukocytes-endothelium cell adhesion in the flap microvessel after ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Eight hours after reperfusion, edema and intravascular leukocyte aggregation were reduced and microvessels were more obvious in the group with superficial inferior epigastric artery (SIEA) perforator flap (SIEA-flap) subjected to RIPC than in the I/R group. Zinc finger protein 667 (ZNF667) was significantly increased but P-selectin was decreased in the flaps subjected to RIPC, compared to those in the I/R group. The low expression of P-selectin was associated with ZNF667 expression and activation in human dermal microvascular endothelial cells (HDMECs) in response to hypoxic preconditioning (HPC). ZNF667 bound to the P-selectin promoter region, suppressing its transcription through a special core sequence. The ablation of P-selectin by siRNA effectively prevented the leukocytes-endothelium cell adhesion effect of ZNF667-knockdown. ZNF667 upregulation attenuates leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion by negatively regulating the expression of P-selectin in SIEA-flap subjected to RIPC. This article is protected by copyright.
