Obesity-induced insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome continue to pose an
important public health challenge worldwide as they significantly increase the
risk of type 2 diabetes and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Advances in
the pathophysiologic understanding of this process has identified that chronic
inflammation plays a pivotal role. In this regard, given that both animal models
and human studies have demonstrated that the interaction of P-selectin
glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) with P-selectin is not only critical for normal
immune response but also is upregulated in the setting of metabolic syndrome,
PSGL-1/P-selectin interactions provide a novel target for preventing and treating
resultant disease. Current approaches of interfering with PSGL-1/P-selectin
interactions include targeted antibodies, recombinant immunoglobulins that
competitively bind P-selectin, and synthetic molecular therapies. Experimental
models as well as clinical trials assessing the role of these modalities in a
variety of diseases have continued to contribute to the understanding of
PSGL-1/P-selectin interactions and have demonstrated the difficulty in creating
clinically relevant therapeutics. Most recently, however, computational
simulations have further enhanced our understanding of the structural features of
PSGL-1 and related glycomimetics, which are responsible for high-affinity
selectin interactions. Leveraging these insights for the design of next
generation agents has thus led to development of a promising synthetic method for
generating PSGL-1 glycosulfopeptide mimetics for the treatment of metabolic
syndrome.
