A guide to chemokines and their receptors [PDF]
The chemokines (or chemotactic cytokines) are a large family of small, secreted proteins that signal through cell surface G‐protein coupled heptahelical chemokine receptors.

SDF-1 and PDGF enhance [alpha]v[beta]5-mediated ERK activation and adhesion-independent growth of human pre-B cell lines [PDF]
CD23 acts through the [alpha]v[beta]5 integrin to promote growth of human pre-B cell lines in an adhesion-independent manner. [alpha]v[beta]5 is expressed on normal B-cell precursors in the bone marrow.

CXCR7 in tumorigenesis and progression
Chemokines, a family of small cytokines, were initially characterized as proinflammatory chemoattractant cytokines that regulated cell trafficking and adhesion. Today, attention focuses on chemokines because evidence shows that they play a critical role in tumor initiation, promotion, and progression.

CXCR3, CXCR5, CXCR6, and CXCR7 in Diabetes [PDF]
Many studies have suggested that CXCR3, CXCR5, CXCR6 and CXCR7 chemokine receptors are determinant in type 1 diabetes (T1D), expecially in autoimmunity and β-cell destruction. In particular circulating CXCL10 level (the ligand of CXCR3) is high in T1D patients, and this suggests that CXCL10 may be a candidate for a predictive marker of T1D.

Pathogenic role of CXCR7 in rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]
AbstractObjectiveThe interaction between CXCL12 and its receptor, CXCR4, in the synovium of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is important for local inflammatory cell recruitment, angiogenesis, and cytokine production. CXCR7 was recently identified as an alternative receptor for CXCL12.

What doesn't kill you makes you stranger: Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (CD26) proteolysis differentially modulates the activity of many peptide hormones and cytokines generating novel cryptic bioactive ligands [PDF]
Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) is an exopeptidase found either on cell surfaces where it is highly regulated in terms of its expression and surface availability (CD26) or in a free/circulating soluble constitutively available and intrinsically active form.

Regulation of the Hippo/YAP axis by CXCR7 in the tumorigenesis of gastric cancer
Background The Hippo pathway is crucial in organ size control and tumorigenesis. Dysregulation of the Hippo/YAP axis is commonly observed in gastric cancer, while effective therapeutic targets for the Hippo/YAP axis are lacking.

Atypical Roles of the Chemokine Receptor ACKR3/CXCR7 in Platelet Pathophysiology
The manifold actions of the pro-inflammatory and regenerative chemokine CXCL12/SDF-1α are executed through the canonical GProteinCoupledReceptor CXCR4, and the non-canonical ACKR3/CXCR7.
