BackgroundRhinovirus (RV) infections are a major cause of asthma exacerbations. Unlike other respiratory viruses, RV causes minimal cytotoxic effects on airway epithelial cells and cytokines play a critical role in its pathogenesis.

Chemokine receptor-5Delta32 mutation is no risk factor for ischemic-type biliary lesion in liver transplantation [PDF]
It has been shown that certain chemokine receptor polymorphisms may correspond to certain complications after organ transplantation. Ischemic-type biliary lesion (ITBL) encounters for major morbidity and mortality in liver transplant recipients.

Chemokine-Driven Migration of Pro-Inflammatory CD4+ T Cells in CNS Autoimmune Disease
Pro-inflammatory CD4+ T helper (Th) cells drive the pathogenesis of many autoimmune conditions. Recent advances have modified views of the phenotype of pro-inflammatory Th cells in autoimmunity, extending the breadth of known Th cell subsets that operate

CXCR7 functions as a scavenger for CXCL12 and CXCL11. [PDF]
CXCR7 (RDC1), the recently discovered second receptor for CXCL12, is phylogenetically closely related to chemokine receptors, but fails to couple to G-proteins and to induce typical chemokine receptor mediated cellular responses. The function of CXCR7 is

Influence of Chemokine N-Terminal Modification on Biased Agonism at the Chemokine Receptor CCR1
Leukocyte migration, a hallmark of the inflammatory response, is stimulated by the interactions between chemokines, which are expressed in injured or infected tissues, and chemokine receptors, which are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) expressed in ...

Negative association of the chemokine receptor CCR5 d32 polymorphism with systemic inflammatory response, extra-articular symptoms and joint erosion in rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]
Introduction Chemokines and their receptors control immune cell migration during infections as well as in autoimmune responses. A 32 bp deletion in the gene of the chemokine receptor CCR5 confers protection against HIV infection, but has also been ...

HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein modulates CXCR4 clustering and dynamics on the T cell membrane
HIV-1 entry into susceptible cells requires the dynamic interaction of its envelope (Env) glycoprotein with the host cell receptor CD4 and a co-receptor, either CCR5 or CXCR4.

Chemokines and chemokine receptors in Behçet’s disease
Behçet’s disease (BD), a chronic vascular inflammatory disease, is characterized by the symptoms of ocular lesions, recurrent genital and oral ulcers, skin symptoms and arthritis in addition to neurological, intestinal and vascular involvement. The pathogenesis of BD is poorly understood, and there are no effective laboratory markers for the diagnosis ...

Monocytes/macrophages express CCR9 in rheumatoid arthritis and CCL25 stimulates their differentiation [PDF]
Introduction: Monocytes/macrophages accumulate in the rheumatoid (RA) synovium where they play a central role in inflammation and joint destruction. Identification of molecules involved in their accumulation and differentiation is important to inform ...
