Differential modulation of retinal degeneration by Ccl2 and Cx3cr1 chemokine signalling. [PDF]
Microglia and macrophages are recruited to sites of retinal degeneration where local cytokines and chemokines determine protective or neurotoxic microglia responses.

The chemokine CCL2 (MCP-1) has been identified as a prominent tumor-promoting factor in breast cancer. The major source for CCL2 is in the tumor cells; thus, identifying the mechanisms regulating CCL2 release by these cells may enable the future design ...

CCL2 nitration is a negative regulator of chemokine-mediated inflammation [PDF]
International audienceChemokines promote leukocyte recruitment during inflammation. The oxidative burst is an important effector mechanism, this leads to the generation of reactive nitrogen species (RNS), including peroxynitrite (ONOO). The current study

Characterization of conventional and atypical receptors for the chemokine CCL2 on mouse leukocytes [PDF]
Chemokine-directed leukocyte migration is crucial for effective immune and inflammatory responses. Conventional chemokine receptors (cCKRs) directly control cell movement; atypical chemokine receptors (ACKRs) regulate coexpressed cCKRs; and both cCKRs ...

Induction of angiogenic chemokine CCL2 by human herpesvirus 8 chemokine receptor
Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) is associated with Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), an endothelial cell lesion believed to be initiated and driven primarily by cytokine dysregulation.

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 ...

CX3CL1/CX3CR1 and CCL2/CCR2 chemokine/chemokine receptor complex in patients with AMD.
The chemokine receptors CX3CR1 and CCR2 have been implicated in the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The evidence is mainly derived from experimental cell studies and murine models of AMD.

Chemokine CCL2 prevents opioid-induced inhibition of nociceptive synaptic transmission in spinal cord dorsal horn. [PDF]
Opioid analgesics remain widely used for pain treatment despite the related serious side effects. Some of those, such as opioid tolerance and opioid-induced hyperalgesia may be at least partially due to modulation of opioid receptors (OR) function at ...

Elucidating the Molecular Interactions of Chemokine CCL2 Orthologs with Flavonoid Baicalin. [PDF]
An integrated and controlled migration of leukocytes is necessary for the legitimate functioning and maintenance of the immune system. Chemokines and their receptors play a decisive role in regulating the leukocyte migration to the site of inflammation, a phenomena often referred to as chemotaxis.

Chemokines during anaphylaxis: the importance of CCL2 and CCL2-dependent chemotactic activity for basophils [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundThe role of chemokines in anaphylaxis is unclear.MethodsWe prospectively recruited 49 patients presenting to the emergency department with an acute episode of anaphylaxis and 28 healthy subjects. We measured serum levels of the chemokines CCL2, CCL5, CCL7, CCL8, CCL11, CCL13, CCL17, CCL21, CCL22, CCL24, and CCL26, tryptase, the ...
