CXCL12 and CXCL13 as potential biomarkers for disease severity and recurrence in respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis [PDF]
To examine chemokine expression in children with Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) bronchiolitis and evaluate its clinical utility for early warning and prognosis. Five hospitalised RSV bronchiolitis children and five matched controls were studied.

The Role of CXCL12 in Kidney Diseases: A Friend or Foe?
Background: Chemokines are a family of proteins mainly mediating the homing and migration of various cells. The CXC chemokine CXCL12 is a member of low-weight-molecular chemokines.

A new obligate CXCL4–CXCL12 heterodimer for studying chemokine heterodimer activities and mechanisms
Chemokines form a family of proteins with critical roles in many biological processes in health and disease conditions, including cardiovascular, autoimmune diseases, infections, and cancer.

The Role of the CXCL12/CXCR4/CXCR7 Chemokine Axis in Cancer
Chemokines are a family of small, secreted cytokines which regulate a variety of cell functions. The C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 12 (CXCL12) binds to C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) and C-X-C chemokine receptor type 7 (CXCR7). The interaction of

A nanoluciferase biosensor to investigate endogenous chemokine secretion and receptor binding
Summary: Secreted chemokines are critical mediators of cellular communication that elicit intracellular signaling by binding membrane-bound receptors. Here we demonstrate the development and use of a sensitive real-time approach to quantify secretion and

Bioluminescent CXCL12 fusion protein for cellular studies of CXCR4 and CXCR7
Chemokine CXCL12 and its two known receptors, CXCR4 and CXCR7, may play a role in diseases including tumor growth and metastasis, atherosclerosis, and HIV infection. Therefore, these molecules may be promising targets for drug development.

CXCL12-induced neurotoxicity critically depends on NMDA receptor-gated and L-type Ca2+ channels upstream of p38 MAPK. [PDF]
BackgroundThe chemokine receptor CXCR4 (CD184) and its natural ligand CXCL12 contribute to many physiological processes, including decisions about cell death and survival in the central nervous system.
