Circulating granulocyte colony‐stimulating factor as a sex‐unbiased global marker of lung and colorectal cancer cachexia pre‐clinical models

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cancer cachexia, affecting up to 80% of patients with advanced cancer, is characterized by metabolic and inflammatory dysregulation driven by tumour‐ and host‐derived factors. Although cytokines are central to cachexia pathogenesis, their circulating profiles and transcriptional relevance across models and sexes remain incompletely defined. We

Anti-mycobacterial treatment reduces high plasma levels of CXC-chemokines detected in active tuberculosis by cytometric bead array

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2009
Chemokines recruit and activate leukocytes, assisting granuloma formation. Herein, we evaluated plasma chemokines in patients with active tuberculosis (ATB) and after completing treatment (TTB) and compared them to BCG-vaccinated healthy controls (HC ...

Immune cells in the pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysm: Roles, regulation and targeted interventions

Clinical and Translational Discovery, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2026.
This review provides a comprehensive overview of how macrophages, neutrophils, T cells and other immune cells infiltrate the aortic wall, undergo phenotypic shifts and interact with one another in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Background Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a lethal degenerative vascular disease with no approved clinical drugs. Immune

Transcriptomal signatures of vaccine adjuvants and accessory immunostimulation of sentinel cells by toll-like receptor 2/6 agonists

Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2018
An important component of vaccine development is the identification of safe and effective adjuvants. We sought to identify transcriptomal signatures of innate immune stimulating molecules using next-generation RNA sequencing with the goal of being able ...

Genomic organization, annotation, and ligand-receptor inferences of chicken chemokines and chemokine receptor genes based on comparative genomics

BMC Genomics, 2005
Background Chemokines and their receptors play important roles in host defense, organogenesis, hematopoiesis, and neuronal communication. Forty-two chemokines and 19 cognate receptors have been found in the human genome.

Stromal‐Derived IL‐8 Promotes M2 Macrophage Polarization via the RhoA/MRTF‐A/SRF Transcriptional Axis to Impair CD8+ T Cell Cytotoxicity in Lung Cancer

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 49, 3 September 2026.
In the recondite pulmonary neoplastic milieu, DESMIN+ cancer‐associated fibroblasts function as the paramount stromal source of IL‐8, precipitating a deleterious immunological metamorphosis by engaging CXCR2 receptors on the myeloid lineage. This paracrine stimulus triggers a mechanotransduction cascade characterized by RhoA‐dependent actin ...

The role of chemokines in Schistosoma mansoni infection: insights from human disease and murine models

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2006
Chemokines are a superfamily of low-molecular-weight cytokines that were initially described for their chemoattractant activity. It is now clear chemokines have several other activities that modulate immune processes.

Epidermal METTL1‐Mediated m7G Modification Drives Psoriatic Inflammation by Stabilizing Bdkrb1 and Orchestrating Neutrophil Recruitment

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 49, 3 September 2026.
This study unveils an unrecognized pro‐inflammatory epitranscriptomic checkpoint in psoriasis. By installing m7G modifications on the 5′ UTR of Bdkrb1 mRNA, METTL1 enhances receptor stability to orchestrate keratinocyte‐driven neutrophil recruitment via p38 MAPK signaling.

CXC-type chemokines promote myofibroblast phenoconversion and prostatic fibrosis. [PDF]

, 2012
Recent studies from our group suggest that extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition and fibrosis characterize the peri-urethral prostate tissues of some men suffering from Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) and that fibrosis may be a contributing factor to
