Toxoplasma effector GRA15-driven CCL5 secretion enhances brain parasite load through microvascular sequestration of phagocytes [PDF]
Toxoplasma gondii exploits host phagocytes to disseminate systemically and establish infection in the central nervous system (CNS). Yet, the mechanisms governing the interaction between parasitized phagocytes and the brain endothelium remain elusive ...

Induction of CCL8/MCP-2 by mycobacteria through the activation of TLR2/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. [PDF]
Pleural tuberculosis (TB), together with lymphatic TB, constitutes more than half of all extrapulmonary cases. Pleural effusions (PEs) in TB are representative of lymphocytic PEs which are dominated by T cells.

CCL5 activation of CCR5 regulates cell metabolism to enhance proliferation of breast cancer cells [PDF]
In earlier studies, we showed that CCL5 enhances proliferation and survival of MCF-7 breast cancer cells in an mTOR-dependent manner and we provided evidence that, for T cells, CCL5 activation of CCR5 results in increased glycolysis and enhanced ATP ...

Anti-inflammatory Activity of the Protein Z-Dependent Protease Inhibitor
The protein Z (PZ)-dependent plasma protease inhibitor (ZPI) is a glycoprotein that inhibits factor XIa and, in the presence of PZ, FXa. Recently, ZPI has been shown to be an acute-phase protein (APP).

IntroductionIncreased CCL5 expression and CD8 T cells have been shown to be pivotal regulators of immunopathology in primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) and pSS-like disease. Increased CCL5 expression by CCR9+ CD4 T cells has previously been implicated as a

Firing up the cold tumors by targeting Vps34
Cancer immunotherapy based on anti-PD-1/PD-L1 blockade is particularly effective in responding to patients with hot tumors. These tumors are characterized by the accumulation of proinflammatory cytokines and T cell infiltration.

Intrahepatic Expression of C-C Motif ligand 5 in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis B
Background/Aims: C-C motif ligand 5 (CCL5) is reported to play a key role in acute and chronic liver diseases. However, the association between the CCL5 and chronic hepatitis B (CHB) remains to be explored.
