Platelet chemokines in health and disease

TL;DR: This review gives a concise overview and an update on the current understanding of platelet-derived chemokines in a context of health and disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular Dynamics Simulations on SDF-1α: Binding with CXCR4 Receptor

TL;DR: A binding mechanism hypothesis between CXCR4 and SDF-1α and its relationship to the signal transduction has been proposed and is in agreement with most of the experimental data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sentinel lymph node as a target of molecular diagnosis of lymphatic micrometastasis and local immunoresponse to malignant cells

TL;DR: There is now a growing body of data to support the clinical relevance of SLN micrometastasis in a variety of solid tumors and a novel immunotherapy that overcomes tumor‐induced immune suppression and can prevent or eradicate SLN metastasis is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rho kinase is required for CCR7-mediated polarization and chemotaxis of T lymphocytes.

TL;DR: An important role of Rho kinase is indicated in CCR7‐mediated polarization and migration of T lymphocytes, whereas ERK‐2 is not involved in these processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interaction between neoplastic cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts through the CXCL12/CXCR4 axis: Role in non–small cell lung cancer tumor proliferation

TL;DR: Interaction between carcinoma-associated fibroblasts and tumor epithelial cells through the CXCL12/CXCR4 axis plays a role in non-small cell lung cancer tumor proliferation, marking this axis as a target for immune intervention.

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.
