Polymorphisms in CCL2&CCL5 chemokines/chemokine receptors genes and their association with diseases.
TLDR
Recent advance in the identification of chemokine genetic background of the diseases could provide opportunity for pharmacological treatment, however, more information about posttranscriptional events is needed to understand functional relevance of polymorphisms and to discovery new avenues to blocking disease development.Abstract:
Background: Chemokines and chemokine receptors are major mediators of leukocyte trafficking into the sites of the immune response. They participate in defence against microbial infection, in Th1/Th2 polarization of the immune response, allograft rejection and angiogenesis/angiostasis as well as in tumorigenesis and metastasis. To date, several functional polymorphisms of chemokine and chemokine receptor genes have been discovered that are able to deregulate chemokine system and, therefore, they may interfere with the pathogenesis of a large number of inflammatory and other diseases. In this review we focus on the known polymorphisms of two chemokines: CCL2, CCL5 and their corresponding receptors (CCR2, CCR5) and we also discuss their associations with susceptibility and progression to selected immune-mediated diseases. Methods And Results: Based on relevant literature this article gives a short overview of case-control and family studies regarding effect of the genetic factors on diseases such as coronary artery disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, diabetes mellitus, lung diseases and others. Conclusion: Recent advance in the identification of chemokine genetic background of the diseases could provide opportunity for pharmacological treatment. However, we need more information about posttranscriptional events to understand functional relevance of polymorphisms and to discovery new avenues to blocking disease de velopment.read more

Upstream open reading frames cause widespread reduction of protein expression and are polymorphic among humans
TL;DR: It is reported that uORFs correlate with significantly reduced protein expression of the downstream ORF, based on analysis of 11,649 matched mRNA and protein measurements from 4 published mammalian studies, and that 5 uORF-altering mutations, detected within genes previously linked to human diseases, dramatically silence expression ofThe downstream protein.

Mechanisms of regulation of the chemokine-receptor network
TL;DR: This review summarizes the major cellular and biochemical mechanisms by which the interactions of chemokines with chemokine receptors are regulated, including selective and competitive binding interactions, genetic polymorphisms, mRNA splice variation, variation of expression, degradation and localization, and binding to natural or pharmacological inhibitors.

Intracellular Mycoplasma genitalium infection of human vaginal and cervical epithelial cells elicits distinct patterns of inflammatory cytokine secretion and provides a possible survival niche against macrophage-mediated killing
TL;DR: Although macrophage phagocytosis was an effective method for M. genitalium killing, intracellular localization within vaginal and cervical ECs may provide M. genitalsium a survival niche and protection from cellular immune responses thereby facilitating the establishment and maintenance of reproductive tract infection.

Meta-analysis of diabetic nephropathy associated genetic variants in inflammation and angiogenesis involved in different biochemical pathways
TL;DR: Gene Ontology or pathway analysis showed that these genes may contribute to the pathophysiology of DN and the functional relevance of the variants and their pathways can lead to increased biological insights and development of new therapeutic targets.

CCL5–Glutamate Cross-Talk in Astrocyte-Neuron Communication in Multiple Sclerosis
TL;DR: The CCL5-mediated control of glutamate release at chemical synapses could be relevant either to the onset of psychiatric symptoms that often accompany the development of multiple sclerosis (MS), but also it might indirectly give a rationale for the progression of inflammation and demyelination.

TL;DR: It is shown that a mutant allele of CCR-5 is present at a high frequency in caucasian populations, but is absent in black populations from Western and Central Africa and Japanese populations, and a 32-base-pair deletion within the coding region results in a frame shift, and generates a non-functional receptor that does not support membrane fusion or infection by macrophage- and dual-tropic HIV-1 strains.

TL;DR: Genetic association analysis of five acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) cohorts revealed that although CCR2-64I exerts no influence on the incidence of HIV- 1 infection, HIV-1-infected individuals carrying the C CR2- 64I allele progressed to AIDS 2 to 4 years later than individuals homozygous for the common allele.
