The cytokine and chemokine network in psoriasis

TL;DR: The purpose of this chapter is to provide an updated review of cytokine and chemokine networks in psoriatic skin lesions.

CCL21 Chemokine Regulates Chemokine Receptor CCR7 Bearing Malignant Melanoma Cells

TL;DR: A potential mechanism for recruitment and homing of CCR7(+) metastatic melanoma cells to tumor-draining lymph nodes, which express CCL21/SLC is demonstrated and the study suggests that lymph nodes bearing metastasis may suppress CCL 21/S LC production.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chemokines in the ischemic myocardium: from inflammation to fibrosis.

TL;DR: CXC chemokine CXCL10/Interferon-γ inducible Protein (IP)-10, a potent angiostatic factor with antifibrotic properties, is induced in the infarct and may prevent premature angiogenesis and fibrous tissue deposition, until theinfarct is debrided and provisional matrix necessary to support granulation tissue ingrowth is formed.

Raised plasma concentration and ex vivo production of inflammatory chemokines in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus

TL;DR: The correlation of raised plasma concentration and ex vivo production of inflammatory chemokines with disease activity, and their association with IL18, supports the view that chemotaxis of Th1/Th2 lymphocytes and neutrophils is important in SLE pathogenesis.

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.
