Chemokines are small regulatory proteins that play a crucial role in the coordinated migration of cell populations to the site of infection/inflammation by binding to their cognate receptors.

Chemokine fractalkine/CX3CL1 negatively modulates active glutamatergic synapses in rat hippocampal neurons [PDF]
We examined the effects of the chemokine fractalkine (CX3CL1) on EPSCs evoked by electrical stimulation of Schaffer collaterals in patch-clamped CA1 pyramidal neurons from rat hippocampal slices.

CXCL12-induced neurotoxicity critically depends on NMDA receptor-gated and L-type Ca2+ channels upstream of p38 MAPK. [PDF]
BackgroundThe chemokine receptor CXCR4 (CD184) and its natural ligand CXCL12 contribute to many physiological processes, including decisions about cell death and survival in the central nervous system.

Atypical chemokine receptors (ACRs) are cell surface receptors with seven transmembrane domains structurally homologous to chemokine G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). However, upon ligation by cognate chemokines, ACRs fail to induce classical signaling and downstream cellular responses characteristic for GPCRs.

Chemokines and chemokine receptors in arthritis [PDF]
Chemokines are involved in leukocyte recruitment to inflammatory sites, such as the synovial tissue in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). There is a structural and a functional classification of chemokines. The former includes four groups: CXC, CC, C and CX3C chemokines.

Perivascular adipose tissue inflammation in vascular disease [PDF]
Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. In vascular pathologies, perivascular adipose tissue increases in volume and becomes dysfunctional, with altered cellular composition and molecular ...

Chemokines, chemokine receptors, and cancer metastasis [PDF]
Abstract It is clear from large clinical studies that selected chemokine receptors are often up-regulated in a large number of common human cancers, including those of the breast, lung, prostate, colon, and melanoma. Chemokine receptors and their corresponding chemokine ligands have been demonstrated to play a number of nonredundant ...

Organ-specific features of natural killer cells. [PDF]
Natural killer (NK) cells can be swiftly mobilized by danger signals and are among the earliest arrivals at target organs of disease. However, the role of NK cells in mounting inflammatory responses is often complex and sometimes paradoxical.

Chemokines, Chemokine Receptors, and Allograft Rejection [PDF]
Chemokines are pivotal mediators in allograft rejection by virtue of their activity as regulators of leukocyte movement, adhesion, and effector function. Because the regulation of effector cell infiltration is complex, it is difficult to dissect the relative role of each chemokine in the inflammatory processes leading to allograft rejection, especially

Chemokines, Chemokine Receptors and Atherosclerosis
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.
