Specific microbiome profile in Takayasu’s arteritis and giant cell arteritis

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Recent studies have provided evidence of a close link between specific microbiota and inflammatory disorders. While the vessel wall microbiota has been recently described in large vessel vasculitis (LVV) and controls, the blood microbiome in these ...

The Effect of Hypoxia on the Expression of CXC Chemokines and CXC Chemokine Receptors—A Review of Literature

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
Hypoxia is an integral component of the tumor microenvironment. Either as chronic or cycling hypoxia, it exerts a similar effect on cancer processes by activating hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) and nuclear factor (NF-κB), with cycling hypoxia showing

Efficient Plasma Cell Differentiation and Trafficking Require Cxcr4 Desensitization

open access: yesCell Reports, 2016
CXCR4 plays a central role in B cell immune response, notably by promoting plasma cell (PC) migration and maintenance in the bone marrow (BM). Gain-of-function mutations in CXCR4 affecting receptor desensitization have been reported in the rare ...

A broad G protein-coupled receptor internalization assay that combines SNAP-tag labeling, diffusion-enhanced resonance energy transfer, and a highly emissive terbium cryptate acceptor

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2015
Although G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) internalization has long been considered a major aspect of the desensitization process that tunes ligand responsiveness, internalization is also involved in receptor resensitization and signaling, as well as the

Identifying chemokines as therapeutic targets in renal disease: Lessons from antagonist studies and knockout mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Chemokines, in concert with cytokines and adhesion molecules, play multiple roles in local and systemic immune responses. In the kidney, the temporal and spatial expression of chemokines correlates with local renal damage and accumulation of chemokine ...
