Interleukin-6-Production Is Responsible for Induction of Hepatic Synthesis of Several Chemokines as Acute-Phase Mediators in Two Animal Models: Possible Significance for Interpretation of Laboratory Changes in Severely Ill Patients

Biology, 2022
A mild to moderate increase in acute-phase proteins (APPs) and a decrease in serum albumin levels are detected in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. A similar trend is also observed for acute-phase cytokines (APC), mainly IL6, besides chemokines (e.g ...

Single‐Cell Atlas of Subchondral Bone Marrow Lesions Reveals Proteostasis Dysfunction as a Druggable Mechanism for Early Osteoarthritis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that abnormal mechanical stress downregulates the expression of HSP70 and impairs proteasome function in osteoarthritic bone cells, leading to misfolded collagen I accumulation and ER stress. When intracellular proteostasis capacity is exceeded, USP19 mediates the secretion of misfolded proteins into the extracellular space ...

Molecular Identification and Dual Functions of Two Different CXC Chemokines in Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) against Streptococcus agalactiae and Flavobacterium columnare

Microorganisms, 2020
Two CXC chemokines in Nile tilapia (On-CXC1 and On-CXC2) were identified at both the genomic and proteomic levels. A southern blot analysis and comparison searching in Ensembl confirmed the typical structure of the CXC chemokine genes and provided ...

Differential activity of pro-angiogenic CXC chemokines [PDF]

Microvascular Research, 2010
We showed previously in a mouse model of lung ischemia-induced angiogenesis, enhanced expression of the three ELR+ CXC chemokines (KC, LIX, and MIP-2) and that blockade of the ligand receptor CXCR(2) limited neovascularization. The present study was undertaken to determine the relative abundance and angiogenic potential of the three CXC chemokines and ...

Mapping CSC‐Mediated Ovarian Cancer Chemoresistance via CXCR4‐PET to Guide Precision Cisplatin Re‐Sensitization Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
CXCR4 functions as a potential cancer stem cell‐associated marker linked to chemoresistance in ovarian cancer, and an inhibitor of CXCR4, AMD3100, can enhance the cytotoxic response to cisplatin. Based on these findings, [68Ga]Ga‐Pentixafor positron emission tomography enables selective visualization of CXCR4‐high ovarian cancer, while AMD3100 combined

Chemokines and immunity

Einstein (São Paulo)
Chemokines are a large family of small cytokines and generally have low molecular weight ranging from 7 to 15kDa. Chemokines and their receptors are able to control the migration and residence of all immune cells.

Screening of CXC chemokines in the microenvironment of ovarian cancer and the biological function of CXCL10

World Journal of Surgical Oncology, 2021
Background This study aims to screen and identify the biological functions and prognostic value of CXC chemokines in ovarian cancer (OC) through bioinformatics and molecular biology methods, and to provide data support for the selection of biomarkers and

Neutrophil‐Mimetic Nanoscavengers Target the Inflammatory Microenvironment to Eliminate NETs/ROS and Immunomodulate cGAS‐STING Signaling in Septic AKI

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Sepsis‐associated acute kidney injury is driven by oxidative stress, NETs overproduction, and dysregulated innate immunity. Here, we develop neutrophil‐mimetic nanoscavengers that integrate ROS‐scavenging Mn3O4 nanozymes with DNase‐1‐mediated NETs degradation to suppress cGAS‐STING signaling, reprogram macrophage polarization, and effectively alleviate

Engineering Tertiary Lymphoid Structures: Nanomedicine, Bioengineering, and Biomaterials for Precision Immunotherapy

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
This review explains how biomaterials and nanoparticles can be used to induce or modulate tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs), which are ectopic immune hubs that form in nonlymphoid tissues during chronic disease and cancer. By comparing different methods, the article highlights design principles for modeling TLSs or recapitulating specific TLS ...

Macrophages and chemokines as mediators of angiogenesis

Frontiers in Physiology, 2013
Accumulating evidence attests to the important roles of both macrophages and chemokines in angiogenesis. Tumor-associated macrophages or TAMS constitute the major fraction of tumor-infiltrating leukocytes and are recruited by a number of ...
