Journal ArticleDOI
The Many Roles of Chemokines and Chemokine Receptors in Inflammation
TL;DR: The properties of chemokines and their receptors are discussed and the roles of these chemoattractants in selected clinical disorders are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decreased lesion formation in CCR2 −/− mice reveals a role for chemokines in the initiation of atherosclerosis
TL;DR: A role for MCP-1 in the development of early atherosclerotic lesions is revealed and upregulation of this chemokine by minimally oxidized lipids is an important link between hyperlipidaemia and fatty streak formation.
Journal Article
International Union of Pharmacology. XXII. Nomenclature for Chemokine Receptors
Philip M. Murphy,Marco Baggiolini,Israel F. Charo,Caroline A. Hébert,Richard Horuk,Kouji Matsushima,Louis H. Miller,Joost J. Oppenheim,Christine A. Power +8 more
TL;DR: A widely accepted receptor nomenclature system is described, ratified by the International Union of Pharmacology, that is facilitating clear communication in this area and updating current concepts of the biology and pharmacology of the chemokine system.
Journal ArticleDOI
CCR2 modulates inflammatory and metabolic effects of high-fat feeding
Stuart P. Weisberg,Deborah Hunter,Reid Huber,Jacob E. Lemieux,Sarah Slaymaker,Kris Vaddi,Israel F. Charo,Rudolph L. Leibel,Anthony W. Ferrante +8 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that CCR2 influences the development of obesity and associated adipose tissue inflammation and systemic insulin resistance and plays a role in the maintenance of adipOSE tissue macrophages and insulin resistance once obesity and its metabolic consequences are established.
Journal ArticleDOI
