Chemokines and chemokine receptors in CNS pathology [PDF]

Journal of Neurovirology, 1999
Chemokines are small proinflammatory cytokineswhich stimulate migration of inflammatory cells invitro and in vivo. They can be divided according tostructure, function and gene localization into fourdifferent subfamilies. Chemokines have been as-cribed diverse additional functions, including reg-ulation of angiogenesis, control of cell proliferationand ...

Role of CXCR4 and SDF1 as prognostic factors for survival and the association with clinicopathology in colorectal cancer: A systematic meta-analysis

Tumor Biology, 2017
C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 and stromal cell–derived factor-1 were proven to play important roles in several types of cancer and in many biological processes connected with tumor growth, invasion, angiogenesis, and metastasis.

Bidirectional Regulation of Opioid and Chemokine Function

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
The opioid family of GPCRs consists of the classical opioid receptors, designated μ-, κ-, and δ-opioid receptors, and the orphanin-FQ receptor, and these proteins are expressed on both neuronal and hematopoietic cells.

Spatio-temporal regulation of concurrent developmental processes by generic signaling downstream of chemokine receptors

eLife, 2018
Chemokines are secreted proteins that regulate a range of processes in eukaryotic organisms. Interestingly, different chemokine receptors control distinct biological processes, and the same receptor can direct different cellular responses, but the basis ...

Chemokines, Chemokine Receptors and Atherosclerosis

, 2005
Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on chemokines, chemokine receptors, and atherosclerosis. Chemokines play essential roles in inflammation and disease. This family of inflammatory mediators has diverse roles in both immune and inflammatory responses, including the regulation of cellular recruitment, activation, and differentiation.

Chemokines and Chemokine Receptors in Multiple Sclerosis [PDF]

Mediators of Inflammation, 2014
Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease with classical traits of demyelination, axonal damage, and neurodegeneration. The migration of autoimmune T cells and macrophages from blood to central nervous system as well as the destruction of blood brain barrier are thought to be the major processes in the development of this disease.

Helper T cells and chemokines in elderly asthma – Mechanisms of airway inflammation and remodeling: A review

Biomolecules & Biomedicine
Elderly bronchial asthma is a heterogeneous, often non-atopic disorder characterized by airway inflammation and remodeling influenced by age-related immune dysregulation. This review aims to elucidate the roles of helper T cells (Th cells) and chemokine
