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. Among the viral proteins suspected as contributing to viral pathogenesis is the lytically expressed viral G protein-coupled receptor (vGPCR), which can induce various cellular ...

Natural Killer T Cells Infiltrate Neuroblastomas Expressing the Chemokine CCL2 [PDF]
CD1d-restricted Vα24-Jα18–invariant natural killer T cells (iNKTs) are potentially important in tumor immunity. However, little is known about their localization to tumors. We analyzed 98 untreated primary neuroblastomas from patients with metastatic disease (stage 4) for tumor-infiltrating iNKTs using TaqMan® reverse transcription polymerase chain ...

The RNA-binding protein IMP2 drives a stromal-Th17 cell circuit in autoimmune neuroinflammation
Stromal cells are emerging as key drivers of autoimmunity, partially because they produce inflammatory chemokines that orchestrate inflammation. Chemokine expression is regulated transcriptionally but also through posttranscriptional mechanisms, the ...

Predictive value of CCL2 in the prognosis and immunotherapy response of glioblastoma multiforme
Background Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and lethal primary brain tumor with a poor prognosis. The C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2) has shown abnormal expression associated with progression of multiple malignancies, however, its ...

CXCL10 ( ) and CCL2 ( ) chemokines in systemic sclerosis a longitudinal study [PDF]
To measure serum levels of CXCL10 and CCL2 chemokines in patients with SSc, and relate the findings to clinical phenotype and disease progression.Serum CXCL10 and CCL2 were assayed in 72 consecutive newly diagnosed SSc patients and in 72 sex- and age-matched controls. In 37 SSc and 37 controls, serum CXCL10 and CCL2 were re-evaluated 5 yrs later.SSc at

Chemokine profiles of interstitial pneumonia in patients with dermatomyositis: a case control study
Chemokines play an important role in the pathophysiology of dermatomyositis (DM) with interstitial pneumonia (IP). However, the relation between chemokines and the disease activity or prognosis of DM-IP has not been elucidated. We evaluated the serum C-C
