Chemokine Decoy Receptor D6 Plays a Negative Role in Human Breast Cancer

TL;DR: It is shown for the first time that human breast cancer differentially expressed D6 and the expression could be regulated by some cytokines, and overexpression of D6 inhuman breast cancer cells inhibits proliferation and invasion in vitro and tumorigenesis and lung metastasis in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serum CXCL13 positively correlates with prostatic disease, prostate-specific antigen and mediates prostate cancer cell invasion, integrin clustering and cell adhesion.

TL;DR: This study presents the first evidence that CXCL13, the only ligand for CXCR5, and IL-6 were significantly elevated in PCa patient serum compared to serum from subjects with benign prostatic hyperplasia, or high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia as well as normal healthy donors (NHD).
Journal ArticleDOI

The skeleton as a unique environment for breast cancer cells

TL;DR: This review evaluates various properties of the skeleton that contribute to its successful colonization by breast cancer cells, including the unique aspects of the vasculature of metaphyseal bone, which may account for the initial lodging of Breast cancer cells in specific regions of thekeleton.
Journal ArticleDOI

IL-17A is essential to the development of elastase-induced pulmonary inflammation and emphysema in mice

TL;DR: Targeting IL-17A in emphysema may be a potential therapeutic strategy for delaying disease progression and identify the important contribution of IL- 17A in the development of elastase-induced pulmonary inflammation and emphySEma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modulation of chemokine receptor activity through dimerization and crosstalk

TL;DR: The integration of signals downstream of chemokine and other receptors will be key to understanding how cells fine-tune their response to a variety of stimuli, including therapeutics.

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.
