A Vascular Microphysiological Model of Lung Fibrosis Reveals That Myofibroblasts and IPF Patient‐Derived Fibroblasts Impair Angiogenesis and Vasculogenesis

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A microphysiological lung fibrosis model recapitulates myofibroblast–vascular interactions. Induced myofibroblasts and patient‐derived IPF fibroblasts impair angiogenesis and increase vascular permeability via TGF‐β1–driven signaling. Pharmacological interventions with SB 431542 and VEGF supplementation restore vascular morphology and barrier function.

Evidence of positive selection at codon sites localized in extracellular domains of mammalian CC motif chemokine receptor proteins

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010
Background CC chemokine receptor proteins (CCR1 through CCR10) are seven-transmembrane G-protein coupled receptors whose signaling pathways are known for their important roles coordinating immune system responses through targeted trafficking of white ...

Macrophage-derived chemokine induces human eosinophil chemotaxis in a CC chemokine receptor 3– and CC chemokine receptor 4–independent manner

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 1999
Chemokines are believed to contribute to selective cell recruitment. Macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC) is a CC chemokine that causes chemotaxis of dendritic cells, monocytes, and activated natural killer cells. MDC binds to CC chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4) but not to CCR1, CCR2, CCR3, CCR5, CCR6, or CCR7.Our aim was to determine the in vitro activity of

CC chemokine receptor 5 polymorphism in chronic periaortitis [PDF]

Rheumatology, 2011
Chronic periaortitis (CP) is a rare disease characterized by a fibro-inflammatory tissue surrounding the abdominal aorta, and includes non-aneurysmal [idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis (IRF)] and aneurysmal forms [inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysm (IAAA)].

Identifying chemokines as therapeutic targets in renal disease: Lessons from antagonist studies and knockout mice [PDF]

, 2004
Chemokines, in concert with cytokines and adhesion molecules, play multiple roles in local and systemic immune responses. In the kidney, the temporal and spatial expression of chemokines correlates with local renal damage and accumulation of chemokine ...

A Smart Bio‐Battery Facilitates Diabetic Bone Defect Repair Via Inducing Macrophage Reprogramming and Synergistically Modulating Bone Remodeling Coupling

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This research presents a novel implantable bio‐battery, GF‐OsG, tailored for diabetic bone repair. GF‐OsG generates microcurrents in high‐glucose conditions to enhance vascularization, shift macrophages to the M2 phenotype, and regulate immune responses.

Novel lymphocyte-specific CC chemokines and their receptors [PDF]

Journal of Leukocyte Biology, 1997
Abstract By using a cloning method termed the signal sequence trap as well as by searching for chemokine homologous sequences in the database of expressed sequence tags, cDNA fragments potentially encoding novel CC chemokines were initially identified. Using these sequences, we have cloned five novel human CC chemokines termed TARC, LARC,

Cellulose acetate phthalate, a common pharmaceutical excipient, inactivates HIV-1 and blocks the coreceptor binding site on the virus envelope glycoprotein gp120 [PDF]

, 2001
BACKGROUND: Cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP), a pharmaceutical excipient used for enteric film coating of capsules and tablets, was shown to inhibit infection by the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and several herpesviruses. CAP formulations

Endothelial Cells Angiogenesis in Sulfated Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) Hydrogels Enhanced by Bioactive Glass‐Released Ions

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A mechanically tunable hydrogel composed of gelatin, chondroitin sulfate and laminin promotes angiogenesis in vitro without the supplement of growth factors. Endothelial cells morphogenesis was further enhanced by medium conditioned with bioactive glass 58S‐released ions (Ca and Si), thus offering a promising strategy to vascularize 3D tissue ...

Role of CXCL13 and CCL20 in the recruitment of B cells to inflammatory foci in chronic arthritis

Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2018
Background B cells exert their pathogenic action in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) locally in the synovium. This study was undertaken to elucidate the chemokines responsible for the recruitment of B cells in the inflamed synovium, taking into account that the
