Evaluation of lymphocyte migration to induced paederus dermatitis: An experimental study in rats
Background: Paederus dermatitis (PD) is a blistering disorder that is caused by a small insect of the genus Paederus, especially Paederus fuscipes. This study aimed to investigate the reaction of the adaptive immune system regarding the recruitment of ...

Humanized anti CCR4 antibody KW0761 targets HTLV-1 infected CD4+ CCR4+ and CD8+CCR4+ T cells to treat HAM/TSP [PDF]
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 ...

Ccr4-not regulates RNA polymerase I transcription and couples nutrient signaling to the control of ribosomal RNA biogenesis. [PDF]
Ribosomal RNA synthesis is controlled by nutrient signaling through the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) pathway. mTORC1 regulates ribosomal RNA expression by affecting RNA Polymerase I (Pol I)-dependent transcription of the ribosomal ...

Small Molecule CCR4 Antagonists Protect Mice from Aspergillus Infection and Allergy
The ability to regulate the recruitment of immune cells makes chemokines and their receptors attractive drug targets in many inflammatory diseases. Based on its preferential expression on T helper type 2 (Th2) cells, C-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CCR4 ...

Smoking affects gene expression in blood of patients with ischemic stroke. [PDF]
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 ...

Lung dendritic cells imprint T cell lung homing and promote lung immunity through the chemokine receptor CCR4 [PDF]
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
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 ...
