Polymorphism and circulating levels of the chemokine CXCL12 in colorectal cancer patients

International Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2007
The chemokine CXCL12, also known as stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1), is a small protein that regulates leukocyte trafficking and is variably expressed in a number of normal and cancer tissues. CXCL12 as ligand and its receptor CXCR4 have been implicated in colorectal cancer (CRC) progression including angiogenesis and metastasis.

Multi‐Technique Integration Identifies O‐GlcNAc Transferase in Fibroblast‐Like Synoviocytes as a Therapeutic Target for Rheumatoid Arthritis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
AI‑guided single‑cell transcriptomics identifies OGT as a key regulator enriched in rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast‑like synoviocytes (RA‐FLSs). Inflammatory stimuli activate the OGT–SAP130 axis, which modulates the H3K27ac/H3K27me3 balance and epigenetically silences BTG2, promoting aggressive transformation of RA‑FLSs.

The novel chemokine receptor CXCR7 regulates trans-endothelial migration of cancer cells

Molecular Cancer, 2011
Background Migration of metastatic tumor cells from the bloodstream into lymph nodes is thought to be facilitated by expression of the chemokine receptors CCR7, CXCR4 and, for B cell-derived tumors, CXCR5. Expression of their respective chemokine ligands

Cytokine Pathways Driving Diverse Tissue Pathologies in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex systemic disorder characterized primarily by articular inflammation and destruction with associated functional loss and reduced quality of life. RA is also associated with extra‐articular disease, such as that of the lung, with potentially devastating clinical consequences. The critical importance of comorbidities,

The N-terminus of CXCR4 splice variants determines expression and functional properties.

PLoS ONE, 2023
C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 12(CXCL12) is an essential chemokine for organ development and homeostasis in multiple tissues. Its receptor, C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4(CXCR4), is expressed on the surface of target cells. The chemokine and receptor are

Kidney Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells Contribute to Myeloid Development and Pathology in Lupus Nephritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective The hematopoietic system maintains homeostasis by balancing myeloid and lymphoid cell production in the bone marrow (BM). In response to increased hematopoietic demand, extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) may occur in nonlymphoid organs. We investigated the role of EMH and kidney‐resident hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) in ...

Discovery and computer aided potency optimization of a novel class of small molecule CXCR4 antagonists. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Amongst the chemokine signalling axes involved in cancer, chemokine CXCL12 acting on chemokine receptor CXCR4 is particularly significant since it orchestrates migration of cancer cells in a tissue-specific metastatic process.

Deep Immunophenotyping Reveals Distinct Immune Signatures in Axial Spondyloarthritis and Psoriatic Arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) are overlapping yet distinct conditions within the SpA spectrum. As divergent immunophenotypes may influence disease course and therapeutic response, we compared immune cell subsets, cytokine profiles, and inflammatory mediators.

C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 12—C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 signaling axis in cancer and the development of chemotherapeutic molecules

Tzu Chi Medical Journal
Chemokines are small, secreted cytokines crucial in the regulation of a variety of cell functions. The binding of chemokine C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 12 (CXCL12) (stromal cell-derived factor 1) to a G-protein-coupled receptor C-X-C chemokine receptor ...

Neurovascular coupling in bone regeneration: Mechanisms, advanced biomaterials and challenges

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This figure illustrates various material strategies for neurovascularized bone regeneration, including electroactive scaffolds, ion‐loaded materials, drug delivery systems, surface modifications, cells/cell products, growth factors, and peptides. These approaches aim to synergistically promote the regeneration of neural, vascular, and bone tissues ...
