CXCL12-CXCR4 Axis in Angiogenesis, Metastasis and Stem Cell Mobilization

TL;DR: CXCR4 inhibitors may be utilized to inhibit HIV-1 infection, tumor growth and metastasis and to mobilize hematopoietic stem cells from the bone marrow in the circulation, where they can be collected for autologous stem cell transplantation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammatory chemokines in cancer growth and progression

TL;DR: Evidence points to a direct effect of chemokines on cancer cells that express chemokine receptors that can activate anti-apoptotic pathways in these cells, providing another example of cancer's ability to co-opt host systems in order to promote tumour progression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chemokine/Cytokine Cocktail in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

TL;DR: A comment on a number of findings that suggest the possible role of the chemokine/cytokine system in the pathogenesis of IPF.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of chemokines as inflammatory mediators in chronic hepatitis C virus infection

TL;DR: In the future, chemokines might be used to monitor the natural course and progression of HCV‐associated liver disease, to identify patients with a high likelihood of achieving a therapeutic response, and they may even have potential as therapeutic targets.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inducible expression of a CC chemokine liver- and activation-regulated chemokine (LARC)/macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-3α/CCL20 by epidermal keratinocytes and its role in atopic dermatitis

TL;DR: The results suggest that epidermal keratinocytes produce LARC/CCL20 upon stimulation with proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1alpha and TNF-alpha, and attract CCR6-expressing immature dendritic cells and memory/effector T cells into the dermis of inflamed skin such as atopic dermatitis.

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.
