L-selectin is a cell adhesion molecule, expressed on leukocytes and involved in the regulation of leukocyte traffic. This adhesion receptor is implicated in hematopoiesis by the interaction of hematopoietic stem cells and progenitors to stroma in the bone marrow microenvironment. We found that L-selectin expression on CD34++ cells from patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is decreased or deficient, reflecting one of the features of malignant CML progenitors. In this review, we briefly describe the structure and function of L-selectin, and its role in hematopoiesis and its expression in leukemia and lymphoma. Finally, we discuss the abnormal adhesiveness of CML progenitor cells, and the role of L-selectin in this defect.
