Neuronal CC chemokines: the distinct roles of CCL21 and CCL2 in neuropathic pain
The development of neuropathic pain in response to peripheral nerve lesion for a large part depends on microglia located at the dorsal horn of the spinal cord.

Hypoxia Alters the Expression of CC Chemokines and CC Chemokine Receptors in a Tumor–A Literature Review [PDF]
Hypoxia, i.e., oxygen deficiency condition, is one of the most important factors promoting the growth of tumors. Since its effect on the chemokine system is crucial in understanding the changes in the recruitment of cells to a tumor niche, in this review we have gathered all the available data about the impact of hypoxia on β chemokines.

Molecular determinants for CC-chemokine recognition by a poxvirus CC-chemokine inhibitor [PDF]
Poxviruses express a family of secreted proteins that bind with high affinity to chemokines and antagonize the interaction with their cognate G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). These viral inhibitors are novel in structure and, unlike cellular chemokine receptors, are able to specifically interact with most, if not all, CC-chemokines.

The CC Chemokine Eotaxin (CCL11) Is a Partial Agonist of CC Chemokine Receptor 2b [PDF]
Despite sharing considerable homology with the members of the monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP) family, the CC chemokine eotaxin (CCL11) has previously been reported to signal exclusively via the receptor CC chemokine receptor 3 (CCR3). Using the monocyte cell line THP-1, we investigated the relative abilities of eotaxin and MCPs 1-4 to induce ...

Receptor-mediated Endocytosis of CC-chemokines [PDF]
Chemokines are chemotactic proteins which play a central role in immune and inflammatory responses. Chemokine receptors are members of the seven transmembrane G-protein coupled family and have recently been shown to be involved in the entry of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) into target cells.

The Role of CC-Chemokines in the Regulation of Angiogenesis [PDF]
Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, is critical for survival and in the regenerative response to tissue injury or ischemia. However, in diseases such as cancer and atherosclerosis, inflammation can cause unregulated angiogenesis leading to excessive neovascularization, which exacerbates disease.

Solution Structure of the Human CC Chemokine 2: A Monomeric Representative of the CC Chemokine Subtype, [PDF]
HCC-2, a 66-amino acid residue human CC chemokine, was reported to induce chemotaxis on monocytes, T-lymphocytes, and eosinophils. The three-dimensional structure of HCC-2 has been determined by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and restrained molecular dynamics calculations on the basis of 871 experimental restraints.

Chemokine-induced phosphorylation of CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) [PDF]
Abstract The CC-chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) mediates activation of T lymphocytes and macrophages by chemokines and is a major co-receptor for macrophage-tropic HIV-1 strains. Recently, it was shown that the natural CCR5 ligands RANTES, macrophage inflammatory protein-1á (MIP-1á), MIP-1β, and amino-terminal modifications of RANTES (Met ...
