Chemokine receptors in head and neck cancer: association with metastatic spread and regulation during chemotherapy.

TL;DR: Comprehensive analysis at the mRNA and protein level of human chemokine receptors showed that SCC and ACC cells exhibited distinct and nonrandom expression profiles for these receptors, suggesting that signaling via CXCR4 may be part of a tumor cell survival program.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cellular effects of extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic fields

TL;DR: The literature indicates that there is still no general agreement on the exact biological detrimental effects of ELF fields, on the physical mechanisms that may be behind these effects or on the extent to which these effects may be harmful to humans.

SERIES ''SIGNALLING AND TRANSCRIPTIONAL REGULATION IN INFLAMMATORY AND IMMUNE CELLS: IMPORTANCE IN LUNG BIOLOGY AND DISEASE'' Edited by K.F. Chung and I.M. Adcock Number 1 in this Series The role of post-transcriptional regulation in chemokine gene expression in inflammation and allergy

TL;DR: Current data suggest that post-transcriptional regulation plays a larger role in chemokine gene regulation than previously recognised, and a growing body of data indicates that mechanisms controlling mRNA stability may be relevant in determining, or maintaining, the increased levels of chemokin gene expression in this context.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuroinvasion and Inflammation in Viral Central Nervous System Infections

TL;DR: This review illustrates examples of established brain barrier models, in which the specific reaction patterns of different viral families can be analyzed, and highlights the pathogen specific array of cytokines and chemokines involved in immunological responses in viral CNS infections.
Journal ArticleDOI

Agonistic and antagonistic activities of chemokines.

TL;DR: Observations suggest a new mechanism for the regulation of leukocyte recruitment during inflammatory and immune reactions, which is based on the combination of agonistic and antagonistic effects.

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.
