Essential Role of Lyn in Fibrosis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Fibrotic disorders involve replacement of normal parenchyma with myofibroblasts, which deposit connective tissue, leading to obliteration of the function of the underlying organ.

Pro‐Inflammatory c‐Met+ CD4 T Cells in Multiple Sclerosis

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) binds exclusively the c‐Met surface receptor, and the HGF/c‐Met axis regulates T cell function in autoimmune diseases. We analyzed c‐Met expression on human CD4 T cells in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) versus non‐inflammatory neurological disease (NIND), to ...

Association of rheumatoid arthritis with a functional chemokine receptor, CCR5 [PDF]

open access: yesArthritis & Rheumatism, 1999
To investigate whether the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with the functional chemokine receptor CCR5, which is the primary CC chemokine receptor expressed by T cells in rheumatoid synovium, and its nonfunctional receptor, delta32CCR5, which is generated by the homozygous 32-basepair deletion (delta32) in the CCR5 gene.The ...

Fluorescence resonance energy transfer imaging reveals that chemokine-binding modulates heterodimers of CXCR4 and CCR5 receptors. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2008
BACKGROUND: Dimerization has emerged as an important feature of chemokine G-protein-coupled receptors. CXCR4 and CCR5 regulate leukocyte chemotaxis and also serve as a co-receptor for HIV entry.

Current concepts on oxidative/carbonyl stress, inflammation and epigenetics in pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a global health problem, and current therapy for COPD is poorly effective and the mainstays of pharmacotherapy are bronchodilators.

Mucosal‐Associated Invariant T Cells in Rheumatic Diseases

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Mucosal‐associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are innate‐like T cells defined by their semi‐invariant T cell receptor and restriction by the major histocompatibility complex class I–related molecule (MR1). These cells are primarily activated by microbial‐derived metabolites presented by MR1 or by cytokines.

Mechanisms of internalization and recycling of the chemokine receptor, CCR5 [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Biochemistry, 2003
CCR5 is a G protein‐coupled receptor that binds several natural chemokines but it is also a coreceptor for the entry of M tropic strains of HIV‐1 into cells. Levels of CCR5 on the cell surface are important for the rate of HIV‐1 infection and are determined by a number of factors including the rates of CCR5 internalization and recycling.

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 ...

HIV-1 Tropism Determines Different Mutation Profiles in Proviral DNA. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
In order to establish new infections HIV-1 particles need to attach to receptors expressed on the cellular surface. HIV-1 particles interact with a cell membrane receptor known as CD4 and subsequently with another cell membrane molecule known as a co ...

The role of CCR5 in HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders

open access: yesHeliyon, 2022
While combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) has successfully increased the lifespan of individuals infected with HIV, a significant portion of this population remains affected by HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND). C-C chemokine receptor 5
