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]
Background: The role of chemokines in anaphylaxis is unclear. Methods: We prospectively recruited 49 patients presenting to the emergency department with an acute episode of anaphylaxis and 28 healthy subjects.

Ccl2, Cx3cr1 and Ccl2/Cx3cr1 chemokine deficiencies are not sufficient to cause age-related retinal degeneration [PDF]
Monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells and microglia play critical roles in the local immune response to acute and chronic tissue injury and have been implicated in the pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration.

Stimulation of CCL2 (MCP-1) and CCL2 mRNA by substance P in LAD2 human mast cells.
Chemokines are cytokines with chemotactic properties on inflammatory cells and other cell types. Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2), which is also called monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1), is a potent chemotactic molecule that attracts ...

CCL2 responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis are associated with disease severity in tuberculosis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND Leucocyte activating chemokines such as CCL2, CCL3, and CXCL8 together with proinflammatory IFNgamma, TNFalpha and downmodulatory IL10 play a central role in the restriction of M.

CCL2 upregulation triggers hypoxic preconditioning-induced protection from stroke
Background A brief exposure to systemic hypoxia (i.e., hypoxic preconditioning; HPC) prior to transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAo) reduces infarct volume, blood-brain barrier disruption, and leukocyte migration.

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 ...

Targeting the CCL2–CCR2 axis for atheroprotection
AbstractDecades of research have established atherosclerosis as an inflammatory disease. Only recently though, clinical trials provided proof-of-concept evidence for the efficacy of anti-inflammatory strategies with respect to cardiovascular events, thus offering a new paradigm for lowering residual vascular risk.
