Antimicrobial Activity of Chemokine CXCL10 for Dermal and Oral Microorganisms [PDF]
CXCL10 (IP-10) is a small 10 kDa chemokine with antimicrobial activity. It is induced by IFN-γ, chemoattracts mononuclear cells, and promotes adhesion of T cells. Recently, we detected CXCL10 on the surface of the skin and in the oral cavity. In the current study, we used broth microdilution and radial diffusion assays to show that CXCL10 inhibits the ...

Evidence for an antagonist form of the chemokine CXCL10 in patients chronically infected with HCV [PDF]
Chronic infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major public health problem, with nearly 170 million infected individuals worldwide. Current treatment for chronic infection is a combination of pegylated IFN-α2 and ribavirin (RBV); however, this treatment is effective in fewer than 50% of patients infected with HCV genotype 1 or 4.

Atherosclerotic Plaque Stability Is Affected by the Chemokine CXCL10 in Both Mice and Humans [PDF]
Background. The chemokine CXCL10 is specifically upregulated during experimental development of plaque with an unstable phenotype. In this study we evaluated the functional consequences of these findings in mice and humans.Methods and Results. InApoE-/-mice, we induced unstable plaque with using a flow-altering device around the carotid artery.

Chemokines, a family member of cytokines, have been shown to play a major role in central nervous system inflammation. Among other chemokines, CXCR3 and its ligand CXCL10 are involved in the pathophysiology of several neuroinflammatory conditions.

Evaluation of chemokine CXCL10 in human gingival crevicular fluid, saliva, and serum as periodontitis biomarker. [PDF]
Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate CXCL10 as a biomarker for periodontitis by determining the CXCL10 levels in saliva, serum, and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) samples from periodontally healthy control subjects and adult subjects with ...

Atorvastatin Reduces Plasma Levels of Chemokine (CXCL10) in Patients with Crohn's Disease
In Crohn's disease high tissue expression and serum levels of chemokines and their receptors are known to correlate with disease activity. Because statins can reduce chemokine expression in patients with coronary diseases, we wanted to test whether this can be achieved in patients with Crohn's disease.We investigated plasma levels of chemokines (CCL2 ...

CXCL10 Is an Agonist of the CC Family Chemokine Scavenger Receptor ACKR2/D6 [PDF]
Atypical chemokine receptors (ACKRs) are important regulators of chemokine functions. Among them, the atypical chemokine receptor ACKR2 (also known as D6) has long been considered as a scavenger of inflammatory chemokines exclusively from the CC family. In this study, by using highly sensitive β-arrestin recruitment assays based on NanoBiT and NanoBRET

Pathogen Evasion of Chemokine Response Through Suppression of CXCL10 [PDF]
Clearance of intracellular pathogens, such as Leishmania (L.) major, depends on an immune response with well-regulated cytokine signaling. Here we describe a pathogen-mediated mechanism of evading CXCL10, a chemokine with diverse antimicrobial functions, including T cell recruitment. Infection with L.
