Background A fundamental role of cell adhesion molecules is implicated in the disease processes of acute coronary syndromes. We have shown an increase in the soluble form of P-selectin in these syndromes, suggesting the important interaction between P-selectin and sialyl Lewis X (SLe^X) for the pathophysiology of these syndromes. To further test this, we examined the effects of a monoclonal antibody against P-selectin (PB1.3) and a carbohydrate analogue of SLe^X (SLe^X-OS) on cyclic flow variations (CFVs) in stenosed and endothelium-injured canine coronary arteries.

Methods and Results Anesthetized, open-chest dogs (n=48) were divided into six groups after CFVs were established. Dogs received intravenous normal saline, PB1.3 (1 mg/kg bolus), a low dose (5 mg/kg bolus) or a high dose (40 mg/kg bolus) of SLe^X-OS followed by an infusion (5 mg·kg^-1·h^-1) for 60 minutes, a combination of PB1.3 and SLe^X-OS (low dose), or a combination of a nonblocking antibody against P-selectin (PNB1.6, 1 mg/kg) and SLe^X-OS (low dose). Although saline, PB1.3, SLe^X-OS (low dose), and the combination of PNB1.6 and SLe^X-OS (low dose) did not affect CFVs, the high dose of SLe^X-OS and the combination of PB1.3 and SLe^X-OS (low dose) significantly reduced CFVs.

Conclusions These findings indicate that the high dose of SLe^X-OS and the combination of PB1.3 and the low dose of SLe^X-OS provide protection against CFVs. Thus, the adhesive interaction between P-selectin and SLe^X may play an important role in mediating CFVs in this model.
