Glycosylated RNA molecules that can be bound by lectins have been demonstrated on the surfaces of leukocytes, but their physiologic function(s) was not known. A recent study (PMID 38262409) demonstrates that at least 1 function is to promote capture and rolling of neutrophils in the vasculature. Of interest, the neutrophil glycosylated RNA molecules bind to P-selectin but not E-selectin.
已在白细胞表面证实存在可被凝集素结合的糖基化 RNA 分子,但它们的生理功能尚不清楚。最近的一项研究(PMID:38262409)表明,至少有一个功能是促进中性粒细胞在血管中的捕获和滚动。有趣的是,中性粒细胞糖基化 RNA 分子与 P-选择素而非 E-选择素结合。
