The roles of CC chemokines in response to radiation
Radiotherapy is an effective regimen for cancer treatment alone or combined with chemotherapy or immunotherapy. The direct effect of radiotherapy involves radiation-induced DNA damage, and most studies have focused on this area to improve the efficacy of

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.

CC chemokines Modulate Immune responses in Pulmonary Hypertension
Background: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) represents a progressive condition characterized by the remodeling of pulmonary arteries, ultimately culminating in right heart failure and increased mortality rates. Substantial evidence has elucidated the pivotal

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.

Emerging insights into CC and CXC chemokines and their receptors in Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection [PDF]
Chemokines and their cognate receptors are central orchestrators of the immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection. While their overall significance in tuberculosis (TB) is well‐established, this review synthesizes recent advances to ...

Blockade of CC chemokine receptor 2 suppresses pancreatic cancer progression through the interaction with macrophages in the tumor microenvironment [PDF]
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most intractable cancer, demonstrating abundant stroma in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Previously, we reported that CXC chemokines contributed to the progression of PDAC through tumor-stromal ...

Human Chemokines as Antimicrobial Peptides with Direct Parasiticidal Effect on Leishmania mexicana In Vitro [PDF]
Chemokines and chemokine receptor-mediated effects are important mediators of the immunological response and cure in human leishmaniasis. However, in addition to their signalling properties for leukocytes, many chemokines have also been shown to act ...
