A role for CCL2 in both tumor progression and immunosurveillance [PDF]
The chemokine CCL2, which is best known for its chemotactic functions, is expressed not only by immune cells, but also by several types of malignant and stromal cells. CCL2 has been shown to exert both pro- and anti-tumor effects. However, recent results demonstrate a main role for CCL2 in tumor progression and metastasis, suggesting that this ...

Role of CCL2/MCP-1 in Islet Transplantation
High levels of donor-derived CCL2 have been associated with poor islet allograft outcome in patients with type 1 diabetes. The aim of our work was to determine whether CCL2 secreted by the islet has independent proinflammatory effects that influence ...

Chemokines during anaphylaxis: the importance of CCL2 and CCL2-dependent chemotactic activity for basophils [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundThe role of chemokines in anaphylaxis is unclear.MethodsWe prospectively recruited 49 patients presenting to the emergency department with an acute episode of anaphylaxis and 28 healthy subjects. We measured serum levels of the chemokines CCL2, CCL5, CCL7, CCL8, CCL11, CCL13, CCL17, CCL21, CCL22, CCL24, and CCL26, tryptase, the ...

Roles of CCL2-CCR2 Axis in the Tumor Microenvironment [PDF]
Chemokines are a small family of cytokines that were first discovered as chemotactic factors in leukocytes during inflammation, and reports on the relationship between chemokines and cancer progression have recently been increasing. The CCL2-CCR2 axis is one of the major chemokine signaling pathways, and has various functions in tumor progression, such

The Vascular Circadian Clock in Chronic Kidney Disease
Chronic kidney disease is associated with extremely high cardiovascular mortality. The circadian rhythms (CR) have an impact on vascular function. The disruption of CR causes serious health problems and contributes to the development of cardiovascular ...

Identification of a novel regulatory pathway for PPARα by RNA-seq characterization of the endothelial cell lipid peroxidative injury transcriptome [PDF]
Endothelial dysfunction caused by endothelial cell injuries is the initiating factor for atherosclerosis (AS), and lipid peroxidative injury is one of a dominant factor for AS pathogenesis.

CCL2-CCR2 Signaling in Disease Pathogenesis [PDF]
The role of chemokines and their receptors in controlling several physiological and pathological processes has only become evident in the last couple of years. From a sole function of chemo-attraction, our view on chemokine receptor activation has switched to the regulation of pleiotropic signaling pathways influencing numerous molecular and cellular ...
