CXCL12 chemokine genotypes as predictive biomarkers of ovarian cancer outcome

open access: yesMolecular Medicine Reports, 2008
Ovarian cancer is an aggressive disease with high mortality. The CXCL12 chemokine has been associated with the development of this neoplasia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the genetic influence of the CXCL12-3'A polymorphism as a prognostic/predictive factor in ovarian cancer patients treated with platinum/paclitaxel chemotherapy.

The Study of CXCL7-CXCL12 Chemokine Heterodimer by NMR Spectroscopy [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 2013
Chemokines are small regulatory proteins that play an important role in the functioning of mammalian immune system. They are involved in wound repair, hematopoiesis, organ development, and protect organism from inflammation. However, they are also associated with serious inflammatory disorders, such as autoimmune diseases, atherosclerosis, and cancer ...

SDF‐1 Attenuates Oocyte Quality Decline During Reproductive Aging Through Autophagy‐Enhanced Stress Granule Scavenging

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
SDF‐1 levels decline significantly with maternal aging. Exogenous supplementation restores meiotic spindle morphology, chromosomal alignment, and mitochondrial function while reducing oxidative stress in aged oocytes. Mechanistically, SDF‐1 enhances autophagic activity to clear accumulated stress granules, thereby rescuing fertilization competence and ...

The acidic intrinsically disordered region of the inflammatory mediator HMGB1 mediates fuzzy interactions with CXCL12

open access: yesNature Communications
Chemokine heterodimers activate or dampen their cognate receptors during inflammation. The CXCL12 chemokine forms with the fully reduced (fr) alarmin HMGB1 a physiologically relevant heterocomplex (frHMGB1•CXCL12) that synergically promotes the ...

Involvement of the CXCL12 System in the Stimulatory Effects of Prenatal Exposure to High-Fat Diet on Hypothalamic Orexigenic Peptides and Behavior in Offspring

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2017
Exposure to a high fat diet (HFD) during gestation stimulates neurogenesis and expression of hypothalamic orexigenic neuropeptides that affect consummatory and emotional behaviors.

Effects of cognate, non-cognate and synthetic CXCR4 and ACKR3 ligands on human lung endothelial cell barrier function. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Recent evidence suggests that chemokine CXCL12, the cognate agonist of chemokine receptors CXCR4 and ACKR3, reduces thrombin-mediated impairment of endothelial barrier function.

Transcription Factor HOXC11 Drives Colorectal Cancer Progression and Metastasis via CAMK2A‐Dependent CXCL5 Upregulation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
HOXC11 drives colorectal cancer progression by transcriptionally activating CAMK2A, which triggers NF‐κB–dependent CXCL5 upregulation. CXCL5–CXCR2 signaling further reinforces HOXC11 expression through the ERK1/2–SP1 axis, forming a prometastatic positive feedback loop that is effectively disrupted by combined CAMK2A and CXCR2 inhibition.

Crosstalk between astrocytic CXCL12 and microglial CXCR4 contributes to the development of neuropathic pain

open access: yesMolecular Pain, 2016
Background Chemokine axis chemokine C-X-C motif ligand 12/C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCL12/CXCR4) is an emerging pain modulator, but mechanisms for its involvement in neuropathic pain remain unclear.

Involvement of CXCR4/CXCR7/CXCL12 Interactions in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

open access: yesTheranostics, 2013
Directional movement of cells in the human body is orchestrated via chemokines. This migration was initially identified in pathological and immunological processes but quickly extended to homeostatic cell trafficking. One such chemokine is the ubiquitous
