Chemokine receptors and stromal cells in the homing and homeostasis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia B cells

TL;DR: It is suggested that chemokines and their receptors on CLL B cells can govern the homing and survival of leukemia B cells in vivo and therefore may contribute to their noted resistance to chemotherapy-induced apoptosis.

Selective Induction of Th2-Attracting Chemokines CCL17 and CCL22 in Human B Cells by Latent Membrane Protein 1 of Epstein-Barr Virus

TL;DR: Production of CCL17 and CCL22, which attract Th2 and regulatory T cells, may help EBV-infected B cells evade immune surveillance by Th1 cells, however, the concomitant production of C CL3, CCL4, and C CL5 by EBv-infecting B cells may eventually attract Th1 Cells and cytotoxic T cells and lead to elimination of EBV -immortalized B cells at latency III.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of cytokines in the epithelial cancer microenvironment

TL;DR: This review outlines some of the actions of endogenous cytokines in epithelial tumours with particular emphasis on tumour necrosis factor alpha, TNF, related inflammatory cytokines and the chemokine group of chemoattractant cytokines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chemokines in tumor angiogenesis and metastasis

TL;DR: The diverse functions of chemokines establish them as key mediators between the tumor cells and their microenvironment and play critical role in tumor progression and metastasis.

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.
