CXCR1 and CXCR2 silencing modulates CXCL8-dependent endothelial cell proliferation, migration and capillary-like structure formation.

TL;DR: CXCR1 and CXCR2 expression plays a critical role in regulating multiple biological activities in human microvascular endothelial cells by knocking down the expression of these receptors using short-hairpin RNA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Emerging importance of chemokine receptor CXCR3 and its ligands in cardiovascular diseases.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided to support the contention that CXCR3 and its ligands actively participate in the development and progression of CVDs, and may additionally have utility as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Targeting chemokine receptors in allergic disease

TL;DR: The roles of chemokines and their receptors in allergic disease are detailed and current progress in the development of relevant chemokine receptor antagonists are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of CCR4 Ligands, CCL17 and CCL22, During Schistosoma mansoni Egg-Induced Pulmonary Granuloma Formation in Mice

TL;DR: A major role is demonstrated for CCL22 and a lesser role forCCL17 during an evolving S. mansoni egg granuloma in the lung and systemic immunoneutralization of CCL17 and anti-CCL22 were addressed.
Journal ArticleDOI

CXCL10 Production by Human Monocytes in Response to Leishmania braziliensis Infection

TL;DR: The results suggest that, following L. braziliensis infection, the production of multiple inflammatory mediators by the host may contribute to disease severity by increasing cellular recruitment.

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.
