Cardiac Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Cytokines Response after Myocardial Infarction

TL;DR: The role of oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory cytokines response following acute myocardial infarction is examined and the inflammatory mechanisms of cardiac injury are explored.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chemokine expression by astrocytes plays a role in microglia/ macrophage activation and subsequent neurodegeneration in secondary progressive multiple sclerosis

TL;DR: Results suggest that MCP-1/CCL2 and IP-10/CXCL10 produced by astrocytes may activate astroCytes in an autocrine or paracrine manner and direct reactive gliosis followed by migration and activation of microglia/macrophages as effector cells in demyelinating lesions.
Journal ArticleDOI

IL‐1‐regulated responses in astrocytes: Relevance to injury and recovery

TL;DR: Data obtained with microarray technology are reviewed to provide an overview of the extent of changes induced in astrocytes by the cytokine IL‐1, and to suggest a role for microglia in the proper functioning of the neuronal network.

CXCR4 neutralization, a novel therapeutic approach for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma

TL;DR: The crucial role of CXCR4 in tumor cell extravasation was confirmed by the finding that CX CR4 neutralization before i.v. injection of Namalwa cells in NOD/SCID mice increased the number of cancer cells circulating 24 h after injection.

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).

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.
