CCL2/CCR2 signaling in cancer pathogenesis [PDF]
AbstractChemokines are a family of small cytokines, which guide a variety of immune/inflammatory cells to the site of tumor in tumorigenesis. A dysregulated expression of chemokines is implicated in different types of cancer including prostate cancer.

Progestins Related to Progesterone and Testosterone Elicit Divergent Human Endometrial Transcriptomes and Biofunctions. [PDF]
Progestins are widely used for the treatment of gynecologic disorders and alone, or combined with an estrogen, are used as contraceptives. While their potencies, efficacies and side effects vary due to differences in structures, doses and routes of ...

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 ...

CCL2 Blockade Augments Cancer Immunotherapy [PDF]
Abstract Altering the immunosuppressive microenvironment that exists within a tumor will likely be necessary for cancer vaccines to trigger an effective antitumor response. Monocyte chemoattractant proteins (such as CCL2) are produced by many tumors and have both direct and indirect immunoinhibitory effects.

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 ...

Cadmium induces CCL2 production in glioblastoma cells via activation of MAPK, PI3K, and PKC pathways
Cadmium (Cd) is accumulated in human astrocytes and induces the production of interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8. Astrocytes are one of the major sources of chemokine C–C motif ligand 2 (CCL2; known as monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 [MCP-1]), in the brain ...

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 ...

Circulatory CCL2 distinguishes Duchenne muscular dystrophy dogs
ABSTRACT To establish a minimally invasive approach to studying body-wide muscle inflammation in the canine Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) model, we evaluated 13 cytokines/chemokines in frozen sera from 90 affected (239 sera) and 73 normal (189 sera) dogs (0.00 to 45.2 months of age). Linear mixed-effects model analysis suggested that

CCL2 recruits inflammatory monocytes to facilitate breast-tumour metastasis [PDF]
Macrophages abundantly found in the tumor microenvironment enhance malignancy(1). At metastatic sites a distinct population of metastasis associated macrophages (MAMs) promote tumor cell extravasation, seeding and persistent growth(2).

The Chemokine CCL2 Mediates the Seizure-enhancing Effects of Systemic Inflammation [PDF]
Epilepsy is a chronic disorder characterized by spontaneous recurrent seizures. Brain inflammation is increasingly recognized as a critical factor for seizure precipitation, but the molecular mediators of such proconvulsant effects are only partly ...
