Thematic Review Series: The Immune System and Atherogenesis Molecular mechanisms regulating monocyte recruitment in atherosclerosis

TL;DR: An overview of the current understanding of the mechanisms that direct the recruitment of monocytes to, and their retention in, atherosclerotic lesions is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased serum CXCL10 in Graves’ disease or autoimmune thyroiditis is not associated with hyper- or hypothyroidism per se, but is specifically sustained by the autoimmune, inflammatory process

TL;DR: Serum CXCL10 levels are increased in several autoimmune conditions, including Graves' disease (GD) and autoimmune thyroiditis (AT), but is specifically sustained by the autoimmune inflammatory event occurring in both GD and AT.
Journal ArticleDOI

CCL18 promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition, invasion and migration of pancreatic cancer cells in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the serum level of CCL18 is a potential biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of PDAC, and that the combined functions of C CL18 in mesenchymal and cancer cells might accelerate the progression ofPDAC by promoting the epithelial-mesenchymic transition, invasion and migration of pancreatic cancer cells.

Chemokines in hepatitis C virus infection: pathogenesis, prognosis and therapeutics.

TL;DR: Recent advances in understanding the role of chemokines and their receptors in the pathogenesis of chronic viral infection-associated liver disease are presented and the clinical implications of these novel findings are documented.
Journal ArticleDOI

CCR2 expression by brain microvascular endothelial cells is critical for macrophage transendothelial migration in response to CCL2.

TL;DR: CCL2-induced mØ transendothelial migration was blocked by treatment of WT BMEC with pertussis toxin, suggesting that CCR2 is functionally coupled to the inhibitory G protein Galphai, much as it is in other cell types.

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.
