CC Chemokine Receptor 5 (CCR5) Desensitization [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2010
CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5), the major HIV coreceptor, is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) involved in cell activation and migration in response to chemokines. Blockade of CCR5 is an effective anti-HIV strategy, and potent anti-HIV chemokine analogs such as PSC-RANTES have been developed.

Arylsulfatases and neuraminidases modulate engagement of CCR5 by chemokines by removing key electrostatic interactions

open access: yesScientific Reports
The chemokine receptor CCR5 is known to exist in cell surface subpopulations that differ in their capacity to engage ligands. One proposed explanation for this phenomenon is the presence of CCR5 species with different levels of post-translational ...

Identifying chemokines as therapeutic targets in renal disease: Lessons from antagonist studies and knockout mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Engineering Neutrophil Vesicles for Synergistic Protection against Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury after Lung Transplant

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Engineered neutrophil‐derived vesicles (SOD2‐Fer‐1@CVs) co‐delivering antioxidant and ferroptosis‐inhibitory agents enable inflammation‐targeted, ROS‐responsive therapy for ischemia–reperfusion injury in lung transplantation. Synergizing with ex vivo lung perfusion, this strategy alleviates oxidative stress and inflammation, restores vascular integrity,

Punica granatum (Pomegranate) juice provides an HIV-1 entry inhibitor and candidate topical microbicide [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
BACKGROUND: For ≈ 24 years the AIDS pandemic has claimed ≈ 30 million lives, causing ≈ 14,000 new HIV-1 infections daily worldwide in 2003. About 80% of infections occur by heterosexual transmission.

Macrophage Zc3h12c Limits Tissue Inflammation and Injury via Alternative Splicing of Pre‐mRNA

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This work defines the context‐dependent function of Zc3h12c in macrophages using the Tnfrsf11a‐Cre system. It reveals Zc3h12c's dual mechanism—regulating RNA degradation and alternative splicing—with STAT1 as a key target. The findings elucidate a novel post‐transcriptional pathway and identify STAT1 isoforms as potential therapeutic targets for kidney

Elevated ACKR2 expression is a common feature of inflammatory arthropathies [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

An LCN2‐Dependent Positive‐Feedback Loop Between Gastric Cancer Cells and Tumor‐Associated‐Macrophages Mediates Lymphangiogenesis and Lymphatic Metastasis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, the expression and function of LCN2 in GC is aimed to investigate and elucidate the mechanisms by which the LCN2‐dependent positive‐feedback loop between GC cells and TAMs drives lymphangiogenesis and lymphatic metastasis. These findings suggest that LCN2 may serve as a potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target in GC ...

CCR3, CCR4, CCR5, and CXCR3 expression in peripheral blood CD4+ lymphocytes in gastric cancer patients

open access: yesAdvanced Biomedical Research, 2013
Background: CD4+(TH1, and TH2) cell groups in the point of view of chemokine receptor expression were considered in blood of stomach cancer patients. Materials and Methods: The percentage of blood CD4+ T cells expressing chemokine receptors (before and ...

Insights into the Mechanisms of Immune‐Checkpoint Inhibitors Gained from Spatiotemporal Dynamics of the Tumor Microenvironment

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This review summarizes recent advances in the spatiotemporal dynamics of the tumor microenvironment (TME). It highlights the roles of diverse immune and stromal cell populations, spatial architecture of the TME, as well as the gut and tumor microbiota in influencing responses to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), by integrating insights from single ...
