Allergen Exposure in Murine Neonates Promoted the Development of Asthmatic Lungs

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2021
We previously demonstrated that fetal allergen exposure caused T-helper 2 (Th2) cell sensitization. Although neonates are immunologically more mature than fetuses, asthmatic lungs were reportedly mitigated by neonatal allergen administration ...

Structural basis for chemokine recognition and receptor activation of chemokine receptor CCR5

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
The chemokine receptor CCR5 plays a vital role in immune surveillance and inflammation. However, molecular details that govern its endogenous chemokine recognition and receptor activation remain elusive.

Chemokine Receptors and Phagocyte Biology in Zebrafish. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Phagocytes are highly motile immune cells that ingest and clear microbial invaders, harmful substances, and dying cells. Their function is critically dependent on the expression of chemokine receptors, a class of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs ...

The Antidepressant Mirtazapine Inhibits Hepatic Innate Immune Networks to Attenuate Immune-Mediated Liver Injury in Mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2019
Activation of the innate immune system, including tissue macrophages and associated neutrophil infiltration, is an important driver of subsequent adaptive immune responses in many autoimmune diseases, including autoimmune hepatitis (AIH).

Rhinovirus-Induced Cytokine Alterations With Potential Implications in Asthma Exacerbations: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
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-Driven Migration of Pro-Inflammatory CD4+ T Cells in CNS Autoimmune Disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
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

Structures of the CXCR4 chemokine receptor in complex with small molecule and cyclic peptide antagonists

open access: yesScience, 2010
Regulating Migration The migration of cells around the body is an important factor in cancer development and the establishment of infection. Movement is induced by small proteins called chemokines, and so for a specific function, migration is controlled ...

Targeting cytokine and chemokine signaling pathways for cancer therapy

open access: yesSignal Transduction and Targeted Therapy
Cytokines are critical in regulating immune responses and cellular behavior, playing dual roles in both normal physiology and the pathology of diseases such as cancer.

Phenotyping renal leukocyte subsets by four-color flow cytometry: Characterization of chemokine receptor expression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
To investigate mechanisms of cell-mediated injury in renal inflammatory disease it is critical to determine the surface phenotype of infiltrating renal leukocyte subsets.

Soluble mediators in the function of the epidermal-immune-neuro unit in the skin

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Skin is the largest, environmentally exposed (barrier) organ, capable of integrating various signals into effective defensive responses. The functional significance of interactions among the epidermis and the immune and nervous systems in regulating and ...
