The present invention relates to methods and compositions for the reduction or prevention of damage to tissue or organs, e.g., the brain, caused by reperfusion following ischemia, e.g., stroke. The present invention also provides methods and compositions for the reduction of the size of infarcts resulting from ischemia and/or reperfusion, in a subject, by administering a P- selectin antagonist. The invention further provides methods for modulating, e.g., attenuating, leukocyte rolling, intercellular adhesion, and cell adhesion to blood vessels in a subject by administering soluble P-selectin ligand or fragments thereof, an anti-P-selectin ligand antibody, or an anti-P- selectin antibody. The invention also provides methods for identifying compounds capable of reducing or preventing damage to tissue or organs caused by ischemic disorders and reperfusion injury.

L'invention concerne des procédés et des compositions visant à réduire ou à prévenir des lésions de tissus ou d'organes, p. ex. du cerveau, provoquées par une reperfusion consécutive à une ischémie, p. ex. accident vasculaire cérébral. Elle concerne aussi des procédés et des compositions visant à réduire chez un sujet la taille d'infarctus résultant d'une ischémie et/ou d'une reperfusion, par l'administration d'un antagoniste de P-sélectine. L'invention concerne en outre des procédés de modulation, p. ex. visant à atténuer chez un sujet le roulement de leucocytes, l'adhérence intercellulaire et l'adhérence cellulaire aux vaisseaux sanguins, par l'administration d'un ligand de P-sélectine soluble ou de fragments de celui-ci, d'un anticorps dirigé contre un ligand de P-sélectine ou d'un anticorps anti-P-sélectine. L'invention concerne également des procédés d'identification de composés capables de réduire ou de prévenir des lésions de tissus ou d'organes provoqués par des troubles ischémiques et une lésion de reperfusion.
