Chemokines and chemokine receptors in rheumatoid arthritis
Seminars in Immunology, 2003Chemokines are chemotactic cytokines involved in a number of pathological processes, including inflammatory conditions. Chemokines play a role in the pathogenesis of various inflammatory diseases. Based on a burgeoning body of literature, RA was chosen as a prototype to discuss this issue. In this review, the authors give a detailed introduction to the

Chemokines, chemokine receptors and pain
Trends in Immunology, 2005Many patients suffer from neuropathic pain as a result of injury to the peripheral nervous system (e.g. post-herpetic neuralgia or diabetic neuropathy) or to the central nervous system (e.g. spinal cord injury or stroke). The most distinctive symptom of neuropathic pain is allodynia, whereby normally non-painful stimuli, such as light touch, become ...

Cytokine & Growth Factor Reviews, 2001
Although chemokines were originally defined as host defense proteins it is now clear that their repertoire of functions extend well beyond this role. For example chemokines such as MGSA have growth regulatory properties while members of the CXC chemokine family can be mediators or inhibitors of angiogenesis and may be important targets for oncology ...

Chemokine sequestration by atypical chemokine receptors
Biochemical Society Transactions, 2006Leucocyte migration is essential for robust immune and inflammatory responses, and plays a critical role in many human diseases. Chemokines, a family of small secreted protein chemoattractants, are of fundamental importance in this process, directing leucocyte trafficking by signalling through heptahelical G-protein-coupled receptors expressed by the ...

Targeting chemokines and chemokine receptors with antibodies
Drug Discovery Today: Technologies, 2012Chemokines and their receptors are highly interesting therapeutic targets for pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. In particular, industrial development pipelines are filled with new chemokine-targeting drugs to treat inflammatory diseases and malignancies.

Introduction to Chemokines and Chemokine Antagonists
2004Chemokines are small, soluble proteins with four conserved cysteines (Baggiolini et al. 1994, 1997). They consist of about 70–130 amino acids yielding molecular weights in the range of 7–15 kDa, and are synthesized with a leader sequence of 20–25 amino acids, which is cleaved off before release.

Chemokines and chemokine receptors in renal pathology
Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 2003Chemokines are members of the largest group of chemotactic cytokines, and were the first shown to be able to engage specific subpopulations of inflammatory cells. Accordingly, our expanding knowledge in chemokine biology has enlarged our understanding of inflammatory cell interactions, lymphopoesis, specificity of cell recruitment, and a variety of ...

Chemokines and Chemokine Receptors
1999Classic chemoattractants include complement components, formyl peptides and leukotriene B4. In addition, various cytokines are able to elicit directional migration of leukocytes. While molecules such as monocyte-colony stimulating factor or tumor necrosis factor also exert chemotactic activity, the main chemotactic cytokines are a superfamily of ...

International Journal of Cancer, 2004
AbstractThe chemokines and their receptors are a superfamily of small secreted molecules that control the migration of many cell types in the body. Several years ago it became clear that some chemokines and receptors regulate the migration of certain cells in the lymphoid system, and this raised the possibility that chemokines could also control the ...

Chemokine Receptors and Chemokines in HIV Infection
Journal of Clinical Immunology, 1998Suppression of HIV by chemokines represents a special case in virology and immunology where soluble molecules other than antibodies inhibit infection by a specific virus. The basis for this inhibition is that HIV has evolved to use certain chemokine receptors as "coreceptors" for entry into host cells.
