Anaplasma phagocytophilum의 주요 표면단백질인 Msp2 (p44)는 세균의 표면에 발현되는 주요한 항원 단백질이다. 본 실험에서는 A. phagocytophilum이 주요 숙주세포인 호중구나 HL-60 세포에 침입하는 데 있어, 세균의 주요 표면 단백질인 Msp2와 숙주세포의 표면에 발현되는 PSGL-1과의 반응 여부를 알아보았다. 그 결과, 재조합 단백질인 Msp2나 순수하게 분리된 A. phagocytophilum이 PSGL-1/FucT IV 유전자가 형질전환되어 PSGL-1이 발현되는 BJAB 세포와는 결합하지만, 순수한 BJAB 세포와는 전현 반응하지 않는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다(p<0.01 & p<0.01). 또한, 순수하게 분리된 A. phagocytophilum과 형질전환된(PSGL-1/FucT IV) BJAB 세포와의 결합이 Msp2의 단-클론항체나 Msp2 재조합 단백질의 농도에 따라 억제됨을 관찰할 수 있었다(p<0.05 & p<0.01). 따라서 A. phagocytophilum의 Msp2가 숙주세포인 호중구의 표면에 발현되는 PSGL-1과 직접적으로 결합하는 부착물질임을 알 수 있었다.

Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) play an important role in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) injury. Moreover, platelets are also important blood cells that can aggravate myocardial ischemic injury. This study was designed to test the effects of PMNs and platelets separately and together in provoking cardiac dysfunction in isolated perfused rat hearts following ischemia and reperfusion. Additional control rat hearts were perfused with $75{\times}10^6$ PMNs, with $75{\times}10^6$ platelets, or with $75{\times}10^6\;PMNs+75{\times}10^6$ platelets over a five minute perfusion followed by a 75 min observation period. No significant reduction in coronary flow (CF), left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP), or the first derivative of LVDP (dP/dt max) was observed at the end of the observation period in any non-ischemic group. Similarly, global ischemia (I) for 20 min followed by 45 minutes of reperfusion (R) produced no sustained effects on the final recovery of any of these parameters in any group of hearts perfused in the absence of blood cells. However, I/R hearts perfused with either PMNs or platelets alone exhibited decreases in these variables of $5{\sim}10%$ (p＜0.05 from control). Furthermore, I/R hearts perfused with both PMNs and platelets exhibited decreases of 50 to 60% in all measurements of cardiac function (p＜0.01). These dual cell perfused I/R hearts also exhibited marked increases in cardiac myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity indicating a significant PMN infiltration, and enhanced P-selectin expression on the coronary microvascular endothelium. All cardiaodynamic effects as well as PMN accumulation and P-selectin expression were markedly attenuated by a recombinant soluble PSGL-1 which inhibits selectin mediated cell adhesion. These results provide evidence that platelets and PMNs act synergistically in provoking post-reperfusion cardiac dysfunction, and that this may be largely due to cell to cell interactions mediated by P-selectin. These results also demonstrate that a recombinant soluble PSGL-1 reduces myocardial reperfusion injury by platelet and PMNs interaction.
