The Chemokine CCL2 Mediates the Seizure-enhancing Effects of Systemic Inflammation. [PDF]
Epilepsy is a chronic disorder characterized by spontaneous recurrent seizures. Brain inflammation is increasingly recognized as a critical factor for seizure precipitation, but the molecular mediators of such proconvulsant effects are only partly ...

The primary macrophage chemokine, CCL2, is not necessary after a peripheral nerve injury for macrophage recruitment and activation or for conditioning lesion enhanced peripheral regeneration [PDF]
Background Peripheral nerve injuries stimulate the regenerative capacity of injured neurons through a neuroimmune phenomenon termed the conditioning lesion (CL) response.

CCR2 improves tumor directed CAR-T cell trafficking in ovarian cancer [PDF]
Solid tumors present a significant challenge to Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) -T cell therapy, primarily due to limited T-cell infiltration and persistence in the tumor microenvironment.

Human Mas-related G protein-coupled receptors-X1 induce chemokine receptor 2 expression in rat dorsal root ganglia neurons and release of chemokine ligand 2 from the human LAD-2 mast cell line [PDF]
Primate-specific Mas-related G protein-coupled receptors-X1 (MRGPR-X1) are highly enriched in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons and induce acute pain. Herein, we analyzed effects of MRGPR-X1 on serum response factors (SRF) or nuclear factors of activated

Molecular insights into ligand recognition and activation of chemokine receptors CCR2 and CCR3
Chemokine receptors are a family of G-protein-coupled receptors with key roles in leukocyte migration and inflammatory responses. Here, we present cryo-electron microscopy structures of two human CC chemokine receptor–G-protein complexes: CCR2 bound to ...

Targeting CCL2-CCR4 axis suppress cell migration of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma
For head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), the local invasion and distant metastasis represent the predominant causes of mortality. Targeted inhibition of chemokines and their receptors is an ongoing antitumor strategy established on the crucial ...

Phenotyping CCL2 Containing Central Amygdala Neurons Controlling Alcohol Withdrawal-Induced Anxiety
Chemokines such as chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2) play a role in several behaviors, including anxiety-like behavior, but whether neurons are an important source of CCL2 for behavior and how neuronal CCL2 may work to affect behavior are still ...
