On CXC Chemokines in Endotoxin-Induced Liver Injury
Leukocyte recruitment is a rate-limiting step in endotoxemic liver injury. Leukocyte extravasation is a multistep process, supported by multiple combinations of adhesion molecules and chemokine receptors. This thesis examined the mechanisms of activation,

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.

Oxidative stress induces GLS2‐dependent IL‐1β secretion in senescent macrophages, promoting SCC invasion through the IL‐1β/IL‐1R2 axis. Targeting IL‐1β suppresses invasion more effectively than GLS2 inhibition, highlighting a potential therapeutic strategy for SCC.

Evidence for a Two‐Step Model for Activation of GPR25 by the Chemoattractant CXCL17
ABSTRACT CXCL17 was recently reported to activate GPR25, a receptor expressed by T‐regulatory cells. Although classified as a chemokine, the activity of CXCL17 is ablated by minor C‐terminal truncation, suggesting a novel mode of receptor activation. We set out to test this hypothesis by mutagenesis. GPR25 was expressed in the murine pre‐B cell line L1.

Type I and II Interferon Signalling Characterizes the Transcriptional Landscape of Sweet Syndrome
ABSTRACT Sweet syndrome (SS) is an autoinflammatory neutrophilic dermatosis characterized by abrupt‐onset inflammatory skin lesions and systemic symptoms, yet its molecular pathogenesis remains incompletely defined. To delineate disease‐specific inflammatory programmes, we performed NanoString‐based transcriptomic analysis of SS skin lesions and ...

A guide to the types, structures, and multifaceted functions of matrix metalloproteinases in cancer
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) orchestrate cancer progression and metastasis through proteolytic and non‐proteolytic actions. By remodeling the tumor microenvironment, enhancing growth factor availability, and modulating cell behavior, MMPs promote proliferation, migration or invasion, and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition. Alongside extracellular

Tumor cells are known to interact closely with nontumoral infiltrating cells in order to grow and proliferate. Monocyte-derived cells constitute a major component of the tumoral infiltrate and a high level of these cells has been associated with ...

Chemokines and Their Role in Parasitic Diseases
Chemotactic cytokines (chemokines), the intercellular mediators, produced and released by a wide variety of cell types, are a group of small secreted proteins (8–10 KDa), which mediate host response to invading organisms (viruses, bacteria, parasites ...
