Expression of fractalkine and its receptor, CX3CR1, in atopic dermatitis: Possible contribution to skin inflammation

TL;DR: The results suggest that through functions in both membrane-bound and soluble forms, FKN plays an important role in the trafficking of CX(3)CR1(+) leukocytes during the inflammation caused by AD.

MIG (CXCL9) Chemokine Gene Therapy Combines with Antibody-Cytokine Fusion Protein to Suppress Growth and Dissemination of Murine Colon Carcinoma

TL;DR: This combined therapy significantly prolonged the life span of mice 3-4-fold by concurrently delivering MIG and IL-2 to the tumor site and thereby achieving chemoattraction of T cells together with their activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulated Production and Molecular Diversity of Human Liver and Activation-Regulated Chemokine/Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-3α from Normal and Transformed Cells

TL;DR: It is concluded that in addition to its role in homeostatic trafficking of leukocytes, LARC/MIP-3α can function as an inflammatory chemokine during host defense.
Journal ArticleDOI

CXCL12 (SDF-1) and CXCL13 (BCA-1) chemokines significantly induce proliferation and collagen type I expression in osteoblasts from osteoarthritis patients.

TL;DR: CXCL12 and CXCL13 may directly modulate cellular proliferation and collagen type I in OA patients, so contributing to the remodeling process that occurs in the evolution of this disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

High expression of CX3CL1 by tumor cells correlates with a good prognosis and increased tumor‐infiltrating CD8+ T cells, natural killer cells, and dendritic cells in breast carcinoma

TL;DR: CX3CL1 is the only CX3C chemokine that can chemoattract T cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and dendritic cells (DCs) and the role in breast carcinoma remains unknown.

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.
