Journal ArticleDOI

A dual-tropic primary HIV-1 isolate that uses fusin and the beta-chemokine receptors CKR-5, CKR-3, and CKR-2b as fusion cofactors.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the T- Tropic viruses characteristic of disease progression may evolve from purely M-tropic viruses prevalent early in virus infection through changes in the env protein that enable the virus to use multiple entry cofactors.
Journal Article

Expression of chemokine receptors by subsets of neurons in the central nervous system.

TL;DR: Immunohistochemical analysis of the involved brain tissues from patients with Alzheimer's disease revealed expression of CXCR2 in the neuritic portion of plaques surrounding deposits of amyloid, suggesting that chemokines may play a role in reactive processes in normal neuronal function and neurodegenerative disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

CD4-independent association between HIV-1 gp120 and CXCR4: functional chemokine receptors are expressed in human neurons.

TL;DR: These data support recent findings that members of the chemokine family, including CCR5 and LESTR/Fusin (CXCR4), function as coreceptors in combination with CD4 for HIV-1 invasion.
Journal ArticleDOI

CXCR4-SDF-1 signaling is active in rhabdomyosarcoma cells and regulates locomotion, chemotaxis, and adhesion.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the CXCR4-SDF-1 axis may play an important role in tumor spread and metastasis of RMS cells to bone marrow and that molecular strategies aimed at inhibiting this axis could thus prove to be useful therapeutic measures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of human chemokine receptors CXCR4: Role of phosphorylation in desensitization and internalization

TL;DR: Signaling and internalization of CXCR4 are regulated by receptor phosphorylation dependent and independent mechanisms, indicating independent regulatory pathways for these processes.
