Crosstalk between CXCL12/CXCR4/ACKR3 and the STAT3 Pathway
The reciprocal modulation between the CXCL12/CXCR4/ACKR3 axis and the STAT3 signaling pathway plays a crucial role in the progression of various diseases and neoplasms. Activation of the CXCL12/CXCR4/ACKR3 axis triggers the STAT3 pathway through multiple

Marginal Zone Formation Requires ACKR3 Expression on B Cells
Summary: The marginal zone (MZ) contributes to the highly organized spleen microarchitecture. We show that expression of atypical chemokine receptor 3 (ACKR3) defines two equal-sized populations of mouse MZ B cells (MZBs).

Reassessing the adrenomedullin scavenging function of ACKR3 in lymphatic endothelial cells. [PDF]
Atypical chemokine receptor 3 (ACKR3) is a scavenger of the chemokines CXCL11 and CXCL12 and of several opioid peptides. Additional evidence indicates that ACKR3 binds two other non-chemokine ligands, namely the peptide hormone adrenomedullin (AM) and ...

Pharmacological modulation of CXCL12/CXCR4/ACKR3 for brain disorders – an overview [PDF]
The CXCL12/CXCR4/ACKR3 axis is essential for brain development and homeostasis. Dysregulation of CXCL12 or its receptors has been associated with various CNS disorders related to neurodevelopmental defects, neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration and brain ...

Single-cell transcriptomics identifies a putative perivascular macrophage–endothelial MIF–ACKR3 axis associated with endothelial activation in acute traumatic brain injury [PDF]
BackgroundBlood–brain barrier (BBB) disruption is a hallmark of acute traumatic brain injury (TBI), yet the immune–vascular mechanisms underlying endothelial dysfunction remain incompletely understood.

Endothelial Atypical Receptors for Chemoattractants in Lung Immune Surveillance. [PDF]
Control of chemokine gradients within tissues is achieved by atypical chemokine receptors (ACKRs). The lungs require tightly regulated leukocyte recruitment for effective host defense while preventing tissue damage. In this context, ACKRs expressed by lung endothelial cells are emerging as critical regulators of leukocyte trafficking and inflammatory ...

Coordinated inflammatory macrophage and vascular smooth muscle cell remodeling signatures in human atherosclerosis: An integrative single-cell and bulk transcriptomic analysis. [PDF]
Integrative single‐cell and bulk transcriptomic analyses identified a highly inflammatory macrophage state and a vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) remodeling continuum in human atherosclerotic plaques. Candidate ligand‐receptor and ligand‐associated target gene expression patterns linked inflammatory macrophage activation with osteogenic/modulated ...

Constitutive activity of an atypical chemokine receptor revealed by inverse agonistic nanobodies [PDF]
Stimulation of atypical chemokine receptor 3 (ACKR3) by chemokines does not activate G proteins but recruits arrestin. It is a chemokine scavenger that indirectly influences responses by restricting the availability of CXCL12, an agonist shared with the ...
