BACKGROUND: The vascular endothelium is markedly disrupted in sickle cell disease (SCD) and is the converging cascade of the complex pathophysiologic processes linked to sickle cell vasculopathy. Circulating endothelial activation and/or apoptotic markers may reflect this endothelial activation/damage that contributes to the pathophysiology of the SCD vascular complications.
METHODS: Plasmatic levels of circulating endothelial cells (CECs), E-selectin, progenitor's endothelial cells (EPCs), and circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) were evaluated in 50 SCD patients, 16 with vasculopathy. The association between these markers and the occurrence of disease-related microvascular injuries of the eye (retinopathy), kidney (nephropathy), and skin (chronic active ulcers) was explored.
RESULTS: Among the endothelial activation markers studied, only higher plasma levels of E-selectin were found in SCD patients with vasculopathy (p = .015). Increased E-selectin levels were associated with retinopathy (p < .001) but not with nephropathy or leg ulcers. All patients, at steady state, with or without vasculopathy, did not display a high count of CEC and EPC, markers of endothelial injury and repair. We did not show any significant differences in EVs levels between vasculopathy and not vasculopathy SCD patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Further studies will be required to determine whether the E-selectin could be used as an early biomarker of retinopathy sickle cell development.
