CCR3 and choroidal neovascularization. [PDF]
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in the elderly in industrialized countries. The "wet" AMD, characterized by the development of choroidal neovacularization (CNV), could result in rapid and severe loss ...

Narcolepsy susceptibility gene CCR3 modulates sleep-wake patterns in mice. [PDF]
Narcolepsy is caused by the loss of hypocretin (Hcrt) neurons and is associated with multiple genetic and environmental factors. Although abnormalities in immunity are suggested to be involved in the etiology of narcolepsy, no decisive mechanism has been

Receptor reserve analysis of the human CCR3 receptor in eosinophils and CCR3-transfected cells [PDF]
Abstract A novel pharmacological study of CCR3 receptor reserve in a CCR3-transfected cell (CREM3) and human eosinophils was done; functional responses measured were increases in intracellular calcium and chemotaxis. Eotaxin, eotaxin-2, monocyte chemoattractant protein-4 (MCP-4), RANTES, and MCP-3 induced similar maximal eosinophil ...

Retinal Inhibition of CCR3 Induces Retinal Cell Death in a Murine Model of Choroidal Neovascularization. [PDF]
Inhibition of chemokine C-C motif receptor 3 (CCR3) signaling has been considered as treatment for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD). However, CCR3 is expressed in neural retina from aged human donor eyes.

CpG methylation at GATA elements in the regulatory region ofCCR3positively correlates withCCR3transcription [PDF]
DNA methylation may regulate gene expression by restricting the access of transcription factors. We have previously demonstrated that GATA-1 regulates the transcription of the CCR3 gene by dynamically interacting with both positively and negatively acting GATA elements of high affinity binding in the proximal promoter region including exon 1.

Epitope Mapping of Anti-Mouse CCR3 Monoclonal Antibodies Using Flow Cytometry
The CC chemokine receptor 3 (CCR3) is a receptor for CC chemokines, including CCL5/RANTES, CCL7/MCP-3, and CCL11/eotaxin. CCR3 is expressed on the surface of eosinophils, basophils, a subset of Th2 lymphocytes, mast cells, and airway epithelial cells ...

Peripheral lncRNA-IL1RAP Dysregulation in Schizophrenia: A Multi-Omics Bridge Between Immunity and Diagnosis. [PDF]
Bulk RNA‐seq of PBL from first‐episode or unmedicated SCZ patients identifies an opposite‐direction two‐lncRNA signal at the CCR3 and IL1RAP loci, supported by qRT–PCR and yielding strong internal but uncertain external discrimination. Immune‐linked programs recurrently involve IL1RAP/IL‐1 branches and map, in a healthy‐donor PBMC single‐cell reference,

Roles of RUNX1 and PU.1 inCCR3Transcription [PDF]
CCR3 is a chemokine receptor that mediates the accumulation of allergic inflammatory cells, including eosinophils and Th2 cells, at inflamed sites. The regulatory sequence of the CCR3 gene, contains two Runt-related transcription factor (RUNX) 1 sites and two PU.1 sites, in addition to a functional GATA site for transactivation of the CCR3 gene. In the
