Glial cell responses to herpesvirus infections: role in defense and immunopathogenesis.

TL;DR: A growing body of evidence suggests that through complex networks of chemokines and cytokines produced in response to herpesvirus infection, glial cells orchestrate a cascade of events that result in successful defense of or damage to the brain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition of Arginase Activity Enhances Inflammation in Mice with Allergic Airway Disease, in Association with Increases in Protein S-Nitrosylation and Tyrosine Nitration

TL;DR: In contrast to expectations, BEC enhanced perivascular and peribronchiolar lung inflammation, mucus metaplasia, NF-κB DNA binding, and mRNA expression of the NF-σκB-driven chemokine genes CCL20 and KC, and lead to further increases in airways hyperresponsiveness.

Regulation of fibrosis by the immune system.

TL;DR: The fibrotic disease process from the context of the immune response to injury is discussed and the major cellular and soluble factors controlling these responses are reviewed and suggest ways in which more specific and, hopefully, more effective therapies may be derived.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stromal-Derived Factor-1α/CXCL12-CXCR 4 Axis Is Involved in the Dissemination of NSCLC Cells into Pleural Space

TL;DR: The SDF-1alpha/CXCR4 axis is involved in the dissemination of NSCLC cells into pleural space and could induce migration via phosphatidylinositol 3 (PI-3) kinase- and p44/42 mitogen-activated protein Kinase-dependent manner.
Journal ArticleDOI

The potential to target CCL5/CCR5 in breast cancer

TL;DR: The data reviewed here includes basic and translational studies that support the use of such CCR5 antagonists in breast cancer patients as adjuvant therapy to block the metastasis.

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.
