Fractalkine/CX3CR1: why a single chemokine-receptor duo bears a major and unique therapeutic potential

TL;DR: The reviewed studies provide promising results demonstrating fractalkine and CX3CR1 as potential target molecules for future therapeutics that may attenuate pain, inflammation and furthermore serve as an anti-cancer therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dominance of CCL22 over CCL17 in induction of chemokine receptor CCR4 desensitization and internalization on human Th2 cells

TL;DR: While CCL17 may act first on CCR4 at the endothelial surface to promote vascular recognition, CCL22 could subsequently engage the receptor within the tissue microenvironment to guide cellular localization, suggest.

Successes and failures of chemokine-pathway targeting in rheumatoid arthritis

TL;DR: Preclinical studies carried out in animal models of arthritis involving agents targeting chemokines and chemokine receptors with promising results have yielded promising results, however, most human trials of treatment of RA with antibodies and synthetic compounds targetingChemokine signalling have failed to show clinical improvements.

CC Chemokine Receptor 9 Expression Defines a Subset of Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes with Mucosal T Cell Phenotype and Th1 or T-Regulatory 1 Cytokine Profile

TL;DR: Memory subset of circulating CCR9+CD4+ T cells has characteristics of mucosal T lymphocytes and contains cells with either Th1 or T-regulatory 1 cytokine profiles, which could provide important insight into small intestinal immune-mediated diseases and oral tolerance in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Toll-like receptor agonists stimulate differential functional activation and cytokine and chemokine gene expression in heterophils isolated from chickens with differential innate responses.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the difference in heterophil functional efficiency between these parent lines is due to recognition of pathogens and activation of signaling pathways that induce innate cytokine and chemokine responses.

Two subsets of memory T lymphocytes with distinct homing potentials and effector functions

TL;DR: It is shown that expression of CCR7, a chemokine receptor that controls homing to secondary lymphoid organs, divides human memory T cells into two functionally distinct subsets, which are named central memory (TCM) and effector memory (TEM).
Journal ArticleDOI

Function of the chemokine receptor CXCR4 in haematopoiesis and in cerebellar development

TL;DR: This is the first demonstration of the involvement of a G-protein-coupled chemokine receptor in neuronal cell migration and patterning in the central nervous system and may be important for designing strategies to block HIV entry into cells and for understanding mechanisms of pathogenesis in AIDS dementia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Defects of B-cell lymphopoiesis and bone-marrow myelopoiesis in mice lacking the CXC chemokine PBSF/SDF-1

TL;DR: It is shown that the chemokine PBSF/SDF-1 has several essential functions in development, including B-cell lymphopoiesis and bone-marrow myelopoiedis and a cardiac ventricular septal defect.
Journal ArticleDOI

CCR7 coordinates the primary immune response by establishing functional microenvironments in secondary lymphoid organs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the chemokine receptor CCR7 was identified as an important organizer of the primary immune response in mice, and severely delayed kinetics regarding the antibody response and lack contact sensitivity and delayed type hypersensitivity reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new class of membrane-bound chemokine with a CX3C motif

TL;DR: The structure, biochemical features, tissue distribution and chromosomal localization of CX3C chemokine all indicate that it represents a unique class of chemokines that may constitute part of the molecular control of leukocyte traffic at the endothelium.
