Journal ArticleDOI
Targeting selectins and selectin ligands in inflammation and cancer
TL;DR: Antagonists that target cellular interactions with E-selectin and other members of the selectin family, including neutralizing monoclonal antibodies, competitive ligand inhibitors or metabolic carbohydrate mimetics, exemplify a growing arsenal of potentially effective therapeutics in controlling inflammation and the metastatic behavior of cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of leukocyte E-selectin ligands, P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 and E-selectin ligand-1, on human metastatic prostate tumor cells
Charles J. Dimitroff,Leyla Descheny,Natalia Trujillo,Robert Kim,Vuong Nguyen,Wei Huang,Kenneth J. Pienta,Jeffery L. Kutok,Mark A. Rubin +8 more
TL;DR: Findings implicate a functional role of PSGL-1 in the bone tropism of prostate tumor cells and establish a new perspective into the molecular mechanism of human prostate tumor metastasis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ameliorating Skin-Homing Receptors on Malignant T Cells with a Fluorosugar Analog of N-acetylglucosamine: P-Selectin Ligand Is a More Sensitive Target than E-Selectin Ligand
Leyla Descheny,Madeliene E. Gainers,Madeliene E. Gainers,Bruce Walcheck,Charles J. Dimitroff,Charles J. Dimitroff +5 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that 4-F-GlcNAc treatment can selectively downregulate the P-selectin ligand activity and potentially prevent dermal dissemination of cutaneous lymphomas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Skin-Homing Receptors on Effector Leukocytes Are Differentially Sensitive to Glyco-Metabolic Antagonism in Allergic Contact Dermatitis
Madeliene E. Gainers,Leyla Descheny,Steven R. Barthel,Luzheng Liu,Marc-André Wurbel,Charles J. Dimitroff +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that downregulating effector T cell E- and P-selectin ligand expression directly correlates with anti-inflammatory efficacy and provides new insight on metabolic discrepancies of E-selectIn ligand biosynthesis in effector leukocytes in vivo.
