Journal ArticleDOI

Anatomic localization of immature and mature dendritic cells in an ectopic lymphoid organ: correlation with selective chemokine expression in rheumatoid synovium.

TL;DR: The association among CCL19/21-producing cells, CCR7 expression, and mature DC accumulation is in line with the roles of these chemokines in mature C CR7+ DC homing to lymphocytic infiltrates, making chemokine/receptor complex involved in DC migration a potential therapeutic target.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dendritic cell migration to lymph nodes: cytokines, chemokines, and lipid mediators.

TL;DR: MRP1 and the related multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1, p-glycoprotein, ABCB1) may control the intracellular and extracellular accumulation of key signaling lipids that regulate dendritic cell migration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chemokine-mediated recruitment of NK cells is a critical host defense mechanism in invasive aspergillosis

TL;DR: MCP-1/CCL2-mediated recruitment of NK cells to the lungs as a critical early host defense mechanism in invasive aspergillosis is established and NK cells are demonstrated to be an important and previously unrecognized effector cell in this infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spatial and temporal regulation of cofilin activity by LIM kinase and Slingshot is critical for directional cell migration.

TL;DR: It is proposed that LIMK1- and SSH1L-mediated spatiotemporal regulation of cofilin activity is critical for chemokine-induced polarized lamellipodium formation and directional cell movement.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of the tumor microenvironment in tumor progression and the clinical applications (Review).

TL;DR: The mechanisms involved in the recruitment of stromal cells by tumor cells to the primary tumor site are summarized and the role of the tumor microenvironment in the regulation of tumor progression is highlighted.

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.
