Vascular occlusion is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in
sickle cell disease but its mechanisms are poorly understood. We
demonstrate by using intravital microscopy in mice expressing human
sickle hemoglobin (SS) that SS red blood cells (RBCs) bind to adherent
leukocytes in inflamed venules, producing vasoocclusion of cremasteric
venules. SS mice deficient in P- and E-selectins, which display
defective leukocyte recruitment to the vessel wall, are protected from
vasoocclusion. These data uncover a previously unsuspected
paradigm for the pathogenesis of sickle cell vasoocclusion in which
adherent leukocytes play a direct role and suggest that drugs targeting
SS RBC-leukocyte or leukocyte-endothelial interactions may prevent or
treat the vascular complications of this debilitating disease.
