Characterization of distinct subpopulations of hepatic macrophages in HFD/obese mice. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The current dogma is that obesity-associated hepatic inflammation is due to increased Kupffer cell (KC) activation. However, recruited hepatic macrophages (RHMs) were recently shown to represent a sizable liver macrophage population in the context of ...

Chemokine receptor CCR8 is required for lipopolysaccharide-triggered cytokine production in mouse peritoneal macrophages.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 8 (CCR8), the chemokine receptor for chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 1 (CCL1), is expressed in T-helper type-2 lymphocytes and peritoneal macrophages (PMφ) and is involved in various pathological conditions, including ...

The role of the 47-kDa membrane lipoprotein of Treponema pallidum in promoting maturation of peripheral blood monocyte-derived dendritic cells without enhancing C-C chemokine receptor type 7-mediated dendritic cell migration.

open access: yesAdvances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine, 2022
BACKGROUND The 47-kDa membrane lipoprotein (Tp47) is the most representative membrane protein of Treponema pallidum (T. pallidum). Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most potent professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs) that connect innate and acquired ...

Sex-Based Disparities in Leukocyte Migration and Activation in Response to Inhalation Lung Injury: Role of SDF-1/CXCR4 Signaling

open access: yesCells, 2023
The aim of the study was to determine whether sex-related differences exist in immune response to inhalation lung injury. C57BL/6 mice were exposed to Cl2 gas (500 ppm for 15, 20, or 30 min).

The Effect of N-Terminal Cyclization on the Function of the HIV Entry Inhibitor 5P12-RANTES. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Despite effective treatment for those living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), there are still two million new infections each year. Protein-based HIV entry inhibitors, being highly effective and specific, could be used to protect people from ...

Accelerated in vivo proliferation of memory phenotype CD4+ T-cells in human HIV-1 infection irrespective of viral chemokine co-receptor tropism. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
CD4(+) T-cell loss is the hallmark of HIV-1 infection. CD4 counts fall more rapidly in advanced disease when CCR5-tropic viral strains tend to be replaced by X4-tropic viruses.

Heterogeneity in Fibroblast Proliferation and Survival in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2014
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the most common form of interstitial lung disease characterized by the persistence of activated myofibroblasts resulting in excessive deposition of extracellular matrix proteins and profound tissue remodeling ...

CXCL5 suppression recovers neovascularization and accelerates wound healing in diabetes mellitus

open access: yesCardiovascular Diabetology, 2023
Background Higher chemokine C-X-C motif ligand 5 (CXCL5) level was observed in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients; however, its role in diabetic vasculopathy was not clarified. This study aimed to explore the impacts and mechanistic insights of CXCL5
