Stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) and its main receptor, CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4), play a critical role in endothelial cell function regulation during cardiogenesis, angiogenesis, and reendothelialization after injury. The expression of CXCR4

Targeting of CXCR4 by the Naturally Occurring CXCR4 Antagonist EPI-X4 in Waldenström’s Macroglobulinemia [PDF]
CXCR4 expression and downstream signaling have been identified as key factors in malignant hematopoiesis. Thus, up to 40% of all patients with Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia (WM) carry an activating mutation of CXCR4 that leads to a more aggressive clinical course and inferior outcome upon treatment with the Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitor ...

Prednisolone as preservation additive prevents from ischemia reperfusion injury in a rat model of orthotopic lung transplantation [PDF]
The lung is, more than other solid organs, susceptible for ischemia reperfusion injury after orthotopic transplantation. Corticosteroids are known to potently suppress pro-inflammatory processes when given in the post-operative setting or during ...

Targeting CXCL12/CXCR4 Axis in Tumor Immunotherapy.
Chemokines, which have chemotactic abilities, are comprised of over 50 family members. Through binding to the 7-transmembrane domain of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR), they function in immune cells by trafficking and regulating cell prolif¬eration ...

CXCR4 expression in vitreoretinal membranes [PDF]
Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) and macular pucker (MP) vitreoretinal membranes are caused by abnormal cell migration. By their role in chemotactism, chemokine receptors represent good candidates to sustain this process. The authors thus investigated the expression of one of them, CXCR4, in these pathologies.Three PVR and four MP membranes were ...
