Placental chemokine compartmentalisation: A novel mammalian molecular control mechanism.

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2019
Atypical chemokine receptor 2 (ACKR2) is a chemokine-scavenging receptor. ACKR2-/-embryos display a reduction in size of a novel, to our knowledge, embryonic skin macrophage population referred to as 'intermediate' cells. CC chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2)-/-

TLR7-mediated skin inflammation remotely triggers chemokine expression and leukocyte accumulation in the brain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background: The relationship between the brain and the immune system has become increasingly topical as, although it is immune-specialised, the CNS is not free from the influences of the immune system.

CX3CL1/CX3CR1 and CCL2/CCR2 Chemokine/Chemokine Receptor Complex in Patients with AMD

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
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. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between expression of CX3CR1 and CCR2 on different leukocyte subsets and AMD ...

The effect of C–C motif chemokine ligand 2 supplementation on in vitro maturation of porcine cumulus-oocyte complexes and subsequent developmental competence after parthenogenetic activation

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
Porcine embryos are used for a variety of applications. However, the maturation rate in vitro remains low, and novel in vitro maturation (IVM) techniques that facilitate the collection of mature oocytes are necessary.

Breast Cancer: Coordinated Regulation of CCL2 Secretion by Intracellular Glycosaminoglycans and Chemokine Motifs

open access: yesNeoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2014
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 ...

Coordinated Post-Transcriptional Regulation of the Chemokine System: Messages from CCL2 [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Interferon & Cytokine Research, 2014
The molecular cross-talk between epithelium and immune cells in the airway mucosa is a key regulator of homeostatic immune surveillance and is crucially involved in the development of chronic lung inflammatory diseases. The patterns of gene expression that follow the sensitization process occurring in allergic asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis and ...

Chemokines in ICU Delirium: An Exploratory Study

open access: yesCritical Care Explorations, 2022
OBJECTIVES:. The pathophysiology of delirium is complex and incompletely understood. Inflammation is hypothesized to be integral to its development due to effects on blood brain barrier integrity, facilitation of leukocyte extravasation into brain ...

The atypical chemokine receptor ACKR2 is protective against sepsis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response as a result of uncontrolled infections. Neutrophils are the first cells to reach the primary sites of infection and chemokines play a key role in recruiting neutrophils.

Polymorphisms in CCL2&CCL5 chemokines/chemokine receptors genes and their association with diseases [PDF]

open access: yesBiomedical Papers, 2006
Chemokines and chemokine receptors are major mediators of leukocyte trafficking into the sites of the immune response. They participate in defence against microbial infection, in Th1/Th2 polarization of the immune response, allograft rejection and angiogenesis/angiostasis as well as in tumorigenesis and metastasis.

CC chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2) promotes prostate cancer tumorigenesis and metastasis [PDF]

open access: yesCytokine & Growth Factor Reviews, 2010
CCL2 is a chemokine known to recruit monocytes and macrophages to sites of inflammation. A growing body of research suggests CCL2 is progressively overexpressed in tumor beds and may play a role in the clinical progression of solid tumors. Cancer cells derived from several solid tumor types demonstrate functional receptors for CCL2, suggesting this ...
