Selectins are proteins that are included in a family of cell adhesion receptor involved in the leukocyte extravasation. There are 3 kinds of selectins :
 +
'''E selectin''' localized in endothelial cells, '''L selectin''' found in leukocytes, and '''P selectins''' in platelets and endothelial cells.
 +
 +
In this page we will focus only on P-Selectin.
 +
 +
When the P-selectin is activated by molecules like histamine or thrombin, it is able to bind myeloid cells and some T cells.

P-Selectin is a protein composed by 162 amino-acids residues in 4 different chains A, B, C and D. There are many domains in this protein : the '''EGF domain''', the '''lectin domain''' and others called '''Sushi 1''' to '''Sushi 9'''. There are the extracellular part of the protein.

This domain is composed of 6 cysteine residues which can form 3 disulfide bonds. EGF domain is formed with two-stranded β-sheet followed by a loop to a short C-terminal two-stranded β-sheet. These two β-sheets are usually denoted as the major (N-terminal) and minor (C-terminal) sheets.

It binds (via an extended site of the domain) a ligand : '''the carbohydrate sialyl LewisX (SLeX)''' with low affinity. However, the affinity between the ligand and the selectins is actually quite high. A theory exists and may explain why lectin domain may recognize SLeX (or related carbohydrate structures on this ligand) with a higher affinity. Indeed EGF domain may alter the conformation of the lectin domain so that its affinity for the ligand is increased.

Leukocyte extravasation is the movement of leukocytes out of the circulatory system. First, the leukocytes is attracted by cytokines, secreted near the site of infection.

Selectins are proteins that are included in a family of cell adhesion receptor involved in the leukocyte extravasation. There are 3 kinds of selectins : E selectin localized in endothelial cells, L selectin found in leukocytes, and P selectins in platelets and endothelial cells.

In this page we will focus only on P-Selectin.

When the P-selectin is activated by molecules like histamine or thrombin, it is able to bind myeloid cells and some T cells.

Different roles of P-selectin

Role in leukocyte extravasation

Leukocyte extravasation is the movement of leukocytes out of the circulatory system during an infection. The inflammation is a natural reaction of defense caused by tissular damages. The recruitement of leukocytes on the inflammation site is a process in four steps. First, the leukocyte is attracted by cytokines, secreted near the site of infection (these cytokines are also able to activate P-selectins). This is the chemoattraction. Then, this leukocyte begin rolling along the inner surface of the vessel, binding on selectin molecules. The third step is the tight adhesion, the leukocyte immobilizates itself, thanks to the integrin molecules. And finally, he passes through gaps between endothelial cells. This last step is not shown in the following drawing. By this mecanism, the leukocyte arrives on the site of infection to neutralize the infection agent.[3]

Role in platelets recruitment

At areas of vascular injury, P-selectin recruits and aggregates platelets[4] through platelet-fibrin and platelet-platelet binding. In quiescent platelet, P-selectin is located on the inner wall of α-granules. The activation of platelets is caused by thrombin, Type II collagen and ADP and results in "membrane flipping" where the platelet releases α- and dense granules and the inner walls of the granules are exposed on the outside of the cell.

Role in cancer

P-selectin also has a functional role in formation of tumor. P-selectin is expressed on the surface of both stimulated endothelial cell and activated platelet. It helps cancer cells invade into bloodstream for metastasis. Moreover, platelet facilitates tumor metastasis by forming complexes with tumor cells and leukocytes. In vivo mice experiment showed that reduction in circulating platelets could reduce cancer metastasis.[5] So we can understand the importance of development of new compounds that target P-selectin for cancer therapy.
