Atherosclerosis: role of chemokines and macrophages.

TL;DR: This review briefly addresses the key features of macrophage biology and discusses the factors that influence the growth and development of atherosclerotic lesions (atherogenesis), and considers the potential role of chemokines in mediating monocyte recruitment and Macrophage differentiation within atherosclerosis lesions.
Journal ArticleDOI

CCL20 and CXCL8 synergize to promote progression and poor survival outcome in patients with colorectal cancer by collaborative induction of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

TL;DR: CCL20 and CXCL8 synergize to promote CRC metastatic progression by coordinated induction of EMT via PI3K/AKT-ERK1/2 signaling axis and detection of both coexpressions can be used to predict clinical outcomes in CRC patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Depletion of neutrophils blocks the recruitment of antigen-nonspecific cells into the liver without affecting the antiviral activity of hepatitis B virus-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes.

TL;DR: The severity of the CTL-initiated liver disease is also ameliorated by the depletion of neutrophils, suggesting that neutrophil-dependent functions other than chemokine induction are necessary for the recruitment process to occur.
Journal ArticleDOI

VIP-PACAP system in immunity: new insights for multitarget therapy.

TL;DR: New aspects of the potential therapeutic of the VIP/PACAP system are dissected in the control of CC and CXC chemokine and their receptors, coagulation factors, adhesion molecules, acute phase proteins, and osteoclastogenesis mediators as well as in the modulation of the expression of Toll‐like receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of chemokines in the recruitment of lymphocytes to the liver.

TL;DR: Understanding the signals that are responsible for recruiting different lymphocyte subsets to the liver will elucidate disease pathogenesis and open up new therapeutic approaches to modulate recruitment in favour of resolution rather than injury.

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.
