Chemokine receptor CXCR4 expression, function, and clinical implications in gastric cancer.

TL;DR: CXCR4 expression is associated with gastric cancer cell migration in vitro, and strong expression of CX CR4 by Gastric cancer cells is significantly associated with lymphatic metastasis in patients with gastrics cancer, suggesting that CXCR 4 plays an important role during gastric cancers progression.
Journal ArticleDOI

IP-10 and type 1 diabetes: a question of time and location.

TL;DR: This review will focus on the influence of the chemokine IP-10 (CXCL10) on the trafficking of autoaggressive cells during the immunopathogenesis of type 1 diabetes (T1D) and explain why IP- 10 can have a dual effect on T1D depending on time and location of expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

The roles of chemokine CXCL12 in embryonic and brain tumor angiogenesis.

TL;DR: CXCL12 signaling represents an important mechanism that regulates brain tumor angiogenesis/vasculogenesis and may provide potential targets for anti-angiogenic therapy in malignant gliomas.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mucosal administration of CpG oligodeoxynucleotide elicits strong CC and CXC chemokine responses in the vagina and serves as a potent Th1-tilting adjuvant for recombinant gD2 protein vaccination against genital herpes.

TL;DR: The results illustrate the potential of CpG ODN for induction of potent chemokine responses in the genital tract and also as a vaginal adjuvant for generation of Th1-type mucosal and systemic immune responses towards a nonreplicating antigen derived from a sexually transmitted pathogen.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dysregulated immune system networks in war veterans with PTSD is an outcome of altered miRNA expression and DNA methylation.

TL;DR: Combining data from the three techniques provided a holistic view of several pathways in which the differentially expressed genes were impacted through epigenetic mechanisms, in PTSD, providing further evidence that inflammation in PTSD could be epigenetically regulated.

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.
