DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal employs a multidisciplinary approach to elucidate how platelets and leukocytes overcome kinetic and mechanical constraints to adhere to vascular surfaces under flow. The focus is the interaction of the three selectins (P-selectin, E- selectin, and L-selectin) with P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) and other cell- surface glycoconjugate ligands. These interactions mediate rolling adhesion of leukocytes on activated platelets, endothelial cells, and adherent leukocytes. Our overall hypothesis is that important kinetic properties (e.g., catch and slip bonds) for binding of selectins to their ligands result from specific atomic-level interactions that are dictated by the structures of these molecules. Force regulates function by inducing conformational changes and/or forming new atomic-level interactions in the structures. Transport parameters influence how intrinsic docking rates affect molecular interactions. Since these kinetic properties determine cellular function under flow (e.g., tethering, rolling, and aggregation), relatively minor structural differences that alter these atomic-level interactions have major consequences for physiology and pathology. The proposal is integrated into four specific aims. The first three aims use crystal structures, molecular modeling, and biochemical and biophysical assays to define how specific structural features of selectins and their ligands govern tethering, rolling, and aggregation of flowing cells. The fourth aim uses knock-in mice expressing a mutant selectin to reveal the biological functions of flow-enhanced cell adhesion in vivo. The information obtained from this integrated study will clarify how molecular structure fulfills the biophysical requirements for blood cells to adhere in a hydrodynamic environment, and may suggest new therapeutic approaches to inhibiting pathological cell adhesion during inflammation and thrombosis. Project Narrative: In response to infection or injury, circulating white blood cells and platelets adhere to blood vessel surfaces, the first step in controlling infection or bleeding. This project addresses how specific "adhesion molecules" control this process. This information obtained may offer new methods to treat excessive blood cell adhesion in heart attacks, strokes, deep venous thrombosis, and other disorders.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案采用多学科方法阐明血小板和白细胞如何克服动力学和机械限制，在流动条件下粘附到血管表面。重点是三种选择素（P-选择素、E-选择素和L-选择素）与P-选择素糖蛋白配体-I（PSGL-1）和其他细胞表面糖缀合物配体的相互作用。这些相互作用介导白细胞在活化的血小板、内皮细胞和粘附的白细胞上的滚动粘附。我们的总体假设是，重要的动力学性质（例如，捕获和滑动键）由这些分子的结构决定的特定原子水平的相互作用产生。力通过诱导构象变化和/或在结构中形成新的原子级相互作用来调节功能。输运参数影响内在对接速率如何影响分子相互作用。由于这些动力学性质决定了流动下的细胞功能（例如，束缚、滚动和聚集），改变这些原子级相互作用的相对较小的结构差异对生理学和病理学具有重大影响。该提案被纳入四个具体目标。前三个目标使用晶体结构，分子建模，生物化学和生物物理测定来定义选择素及其配体的特定结构特征如何控制流动细胞的束缚，滚动和聚集。第四个目标是使用基因敲入小鼠表达突变选择素，以揭示体内流动增强细胞粘附的生物学功能。从这项综合研究中获得的信息将阐明分子结构如何满足血细胞在流体动力学环境中粘附的生物物理要求，并可能提出新的治疗方法来抑制炎症和血栓形成过程中的病理细胞粘附。项目叙述：作为对感染或损伤的反应，循环的白色血细胞和血小板粘附在血管表面，这是控制感染或出血的第一步。这个项目解决了如何具体的“粘附分子”控制这一过程。获得的这些信息可能提供新的方法来治疗心脏病发作，中风，深静脉血栓形成和其他疾病中的过度血细胞粘附。
