    basic FUNCTION
  • participating in the interaction between leukocytes and the endothelium and may be involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis
  • plays critical roles in tethering leukocytes to endothelial cells (ECs)
  • pivotal molecule for endothelial progenitor cells homing to ischemic limb and vasculogenesis
  • during inflammation, SELE-expressed on cytokine-activated endothelial cells mediates leukocyte rolling under flow
  • SELE clusters in both clathrin-coated pits and lipid rafts of endothelial cells but is internalized in clathrin-coated pits
  • expressed by cardiac fibroblasts with ICAM1 and CXC chemokines in response to proinflammatory cytokine stimulation in the infarcted myocardium
  • might be an important factor involved in the process of cerebral aneurysm formation and rupture, by promoting inflammation and weakening cerebral artery walls
  • role of endothelial cell adhesion molecules SELP, SELE and ICAM1 in leucocyte recruitment induced by exogenous methylglyoxal in diabetes

    small molecule
    protein
  • HOXA9 acts as an obligate proinflammatory factor by mediating cytokine induction of SELE
  • CD40/CD40L interaction induces SELE-dependent adhesion of leukocytes to endothelial cells and reduces endothelial cell migration
  • MUC16 is the SELE and SELL ligand expressed by metastatic pancreatic cancer cells
  • stimulus-dependent methylation of HOXA9 is essential for SELE expression during the endothelial cells inflammatory response
  • ADRB3 stimulation acts through up-regulation of SELE in adipose tissue endothelial cells to induce neutrophil infiltration
