eLife, 2023 Central tolerance ensures autoreactive T cells are eliminated or diverted to the regulatory T cell lineage, thus preventing autoimmunity. To undergo central tolerance, thymocytes must enter the medulla to test their T-cell receptors (TCRs) for ...

Lead identification and structure-activity relationships of heteroarylpyrazole arylsulfonamides as allosteric CC-chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4) antagonists [PDF]
, 2014 A knowledge-based library of aryl 2,3-dichlorophenylsulfonamides was synthesised and screened as human CCR4 antagonists, in order to identify a suitable hit for the start of a lead-optimisation programme.

Humanized anti CCR4 antibody KW0761 targets HTLV-1 infected CD4+ CCR4+ and CD8+CCR4+ T cells to treat HAM/TSP [PDF]
Retrovirology, 2015 Human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-1) can cause HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) and adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL). Since the prognosis for HAM/TSP patients is extremely poor, there is a strong demand for a novel therapeutic strategy, especially one which would effectively reduce HTLV-1 proviral load ...

Smoking affects gene expression in blood of patients with ischemic stroke. [PDF]
, 2019 ObjectiveThough cigarette smoking (CS) is a well-known risk factor for ischemic stroke (IS), there is no data on how CS affects the blood transcriptome in IS patients.MethodsWe recruited IS-current smokers (IS-SM), IS-never smokers (IS-NSM), control ...

The mRNA degradation factor Xrn1 regulates transcription elongation in parallel to Ccr4 [PDF]
, 2019 Co-transcriptional imprinting of mRNA by Rpb4 and Rpb7 subunits of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) and by the Ccr4–Not complex conditions its posttranscriptional fate.

Lung dendritic cells imprint T cell lung homing and promote lung immunity through the chemokine receptor CCR4 [PDF]
, 2014 T cell trafficking into the lung is critical for lung immunity, but the mechanisms that mediate T cell lung homing are not well understood. Here, we show that lung dendritic cells (DCs) imprint T cell lung homing, as lung DC–activated T cells traffic ...

Multifunctional roles of the mammalian CCR4-NOT complex in physiological phenomena
Frontiers in Genetics, 2014 The CCR4-NOT complex serves as one of the major deadenylases of eukaryotes. Although it was originally identified and characterized in yeast, recent studies have revealed that the CCR4-NOT complex also exerts important functions in mammals, including ...
