| Popis: | Selectins promote adhesive interactions between leukocytes and activated endothelial cells, the adhesion being mediated by 'counter-receptors' on endothelial cells and consisting of oligosaccharide conjugates containing sialic acid and fucose. There are also suggestions that selectins bind sulfated compounds, including sulfatides. Intravenous infusion of selectin-reactive oligosaccharides has been found to prevent selectin-dependent inflammatory lung injury. In the current studies using two models of neutrophil and selectin-dependent acute lung injury in rats, sulfatide and its modified versions were infused i.v. and the protective effects determined. Naturally occurring sulfatide, synthetic sulfatides and sulfated ganglioside were highly protective against lung injury following systemic activation of complement. Desulfated sulfatide was inactive. The protective effects of synthetic sulfatides required sulfation of galactose in position 3. Sulfatide was also protective in the IgG immune complex model of lung injury. The protective effects of sulfatides were associated with reduced content of myeloperoxidase (derived from neutrophils) in lung tissue. These data indicate that sulfatides have significant in vivo protective effects in neutrophil and selectin-dependent models of lung injury. |
