Monocyte subsets differentially employ CCR2, CCR5, and CX3CR1 to accumulate within atherosclerotic plaques

TL;DR: Analyzing mouse monocyte subsets in apoE-deficient mice and tracing their differentiation and chemokine receptor usage as they accumulated within atherosclerotic plaques suggests antagonizing CX3CR1 may be effective therapeutically in ameliorating CCR2(+) monocyte recruitment to plaques without impairing their C CR2-dependent responses to inflammation overall.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms and Consequences of Dendritic Cell Migration

TL;DR: The molecular traffic signals that govern the migration of DCs throughout their life cycle are reviewed and it is shown that within peripheral tissues, DCs collect antigenic material and then traffic to secondary lymphoid organs, where they communicate with lymphocytes to orchestrate adaptive immune responses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nociceptive sensory neurons drive interleukin-23-mediated psoriasiform skin inflammation

TL;DR: Findings indicate that TRPV1+Nav1.8+ nociceptors, by interacting with DDCs, regulate the IL-23/IL-17 pathway and control cutaneous immune responses.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Chemokine Receptor CX3CR1 Defines Three Antigen-Experienced CD8 T Cell Subsets with Distinct Roles in Immune Surveillance and Homeostasis

TL;DR: A subset of CX3CR1int Tmem cells present unique phenotypic, homeostatic, and migratory properties, and it is proposed that tpm cells are chiefly responsible for the global surveillance of non-lymphoid tissues.
