Complex interplay of kinetic factors governs the synergistic properties of HIV-1 entry inhibitors. [PDF]
, 2017 The homotrimeric HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein (Env) undergoes receptor-triggered structural changes that mediate viral entry through membrane fusion. This process is inhibited by chemokine receptor antagonists (CoRAs) that block Env-receptor interactions ...

Biomedical Papers, 2000 Chemokines mediate their multiple effects by binding to a variety of specific receptors, that comprise a subfamily of rhodopsin-like, 7-transmembrane domain receptors, coupled to G proteins. Some of these receptors serve as coreceptors for HIV, some of them could be expressed as markers for T lymphocyte functional differentiation.

Elevated ACKR2 expression is a common feature of inflammatory arthropathies [PDF]
, 2017 Objectives. Chemokines are essential contributors to leucocyte accumulation at sites of inflammatory pathology. Interfering with chemokine or chemokine receptor function therefore represents a plausible therapeutic option.

Identifying chemokines as therapeutic targets in renal disease: Lessons from antagonist studies and knockout mice [PDF]
, 2004 Chemokines, in concert with cytokines and adhesion molecules, play multiple roles in local and systemic immune responses. In the kidney, the temporal and spatial expression of chemokines correlates with local renal damage and accumulation of chemokine ...

CXC Chemokine/Receptor Axis Profile and Metastasis in Prostate Cancer
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2020 In this study, the effects of the CXC chemokine/receptor axis on lymph node and distant metastases of prostate cancer (PC) were analyzed. Further, mRNA expression data of metastatic PC were extracted from the Stand Up To Cancer–Prostate Cancer Foundation

Inhibition of chemokine-glycosaminoglycan interactions in donor tissue reduces mouse allograft vasculopathy and transplant rejection. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Binding of chemokines to glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) is classically described as initiating inflammatory cell migration and creating tissue chemokine gradients that direct local leukocyte chemotaxis into damaged or transplanted tissues.

Atypical chemokine receptor 4 shapes activated B cell fate [PDF]
, 2018 Activated B cells can initially differentiate into three functionally distinct fates-early plasmablasts (PBs), germinal center (GC) B cells, or early memory B cells-by mechanisms that remain poorly understood.

Microarray analyses demonstrate the involvement of type i interferons in psoriasiform pathology development in D6-deficient mice [PDF]
, 2013 The inflammatory response is normally limited by mechanisms regulating its resolution. In the absence of resolution, inflammatory pathologies can emerge, resulting in substantial morbidity and mortality.
