Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a monogenic disorder estimated to affect more than three million people worldwide. Acute systemic painful vaso-occlusive episode (VOE) is the primary reason for emergency medical care among SCD patients. VOE may also progress to acute chest syndrome (ACS), a type of acute lung injury and one of the primary reasons for mortality among SCD patients. Recently, P-selectin monoclonal antibodies were found to attenuate VOE in SCD patients and lung vaso-occlusion in transgenic humanized SCD mice, highlighting the therapeutic benefit of P-selectin inhibition in SCD. Here, we use quantitative fluorescence intravital lung microscopy (qFILM) to illustrate that tandem P-selectin-glycoprotein ligand-immunoglobulin (TSGL-Ig) fusion molecule containing four P-selectin binding sites, significantly attenuated intravenous (IV) oxyhemoglobin triggered lung vaso-occlusion in SCD mice. These findings highlight the therapeutic potential of TSGL-Ig in preventing VOE and ACS in SCD.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007136 Immunoglobulins Multi-subunit proteins which function in IMMUNITY. They are produced by B LYMPHOCYTES from the IMMUNOGLOBULIN GENES. They are comprised of two heavy (IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS) and two light chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) with additional ancillary polypeptide chains depending on their isoforms. The variety of isoforms include monomeric or polymeric forms, and transmembrane forms (B-CELL ANTIGEN RECEPTORS) or secreted forms (ANTIBODIES). They are divided by the amino acid sequence of their heavy chains into five classes (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A; IMMUNOGLOBULIN D; IMMUNOGLOBULIN E; IMMUNOGLOBULIN G; IMMUNOGLOBULIN M) and various subclasses.
