Allosteric peptide regulators of chemokine receptors CXCR4 and CXCR7 [PDF]
The chemokine CXCL12 and its shared seven-transmembrane receptors CXCR4 and CXCR7 regulate diseases including cancer, atherosclerosis, autoimmunity, and HIV infection, making these molecules promising drug targets. These molecules also control key processes in normal development and physiology, suggesting the need to selectively modulate CXCR4 and/or ...

Exploring the CXCR4/CXCR7/CXCL12 Axis in Primary Desmoid Tumors
Background Desmoid tumors have an extremely variable natural history. The uncertainty behind desmoid behavior reflects the complexity, which subtends its development and non-linear advancement.

Abstract The chemokine network in the microenvironment of pituitary neuroendocrine tumours (PitNETs) may modulate tumour biology, aggressiveness, and treatment responses. We aimed to study the role of various chemokines and chemokine receptors in defining PitNET phenotype and clinical outcomes.

The role of chemokine receptor CXCR7 in lung cancer
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether CXCL12 and its receptor, CXCR7, play a role in lung cancer invasion and metastasis.METHODS Western blot and immunocytochemistry were used to detect CXCR7 protein expression in 8 lung cancer cell lines, EKVX, HOP62, HOP92, NCI-H23, NCI-H226, NCI-H322M, NCI-H446, and A549, and cell migration experiment was conducted to ...

Proposed model for regulation of CXCR7 trafficking.
CXCR7 requires ubiquitination of the Lys residues of its C-tail in order to reach the cell surface. Receptor activation by CXCL12 and subsequent phosphorylation of the C-terminal Ser/Thr residues results in β-arrestin recruitment by CXCR7 and receptor ...

Abstract Myeloid sarcoma (MS) is a tumorous extramedullary proliferation of blast or blast equivalent cells (e.g., promonocytes or promyelocytes). The most frequent cutaneous presentation is often referred to as leukemia cutis (LC). These lesions, especially without the clinical context of a known bone marrow disease, pose a differential diagnostic ...

Knockdown of CXCR7 by RNA interference.
HBMECs stably infected with CXCR7-targeted shRNA or scrambled control shRNA lentiviruses were subjected to qPCR, Western blot and flow cytometry analysis, respectively, as described in “Materials and Methods”.

Alteration of CXCR7 expression mediated by TLR4 promotes tumor cell proliferation and migration in human colorectal carcinoma. [PDF]
The link between inflammation and colorectal carcinoma has been acknowledged. However, the impact of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) binding to Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) on chemokine receptors in human colorectal carcinoma cells still remains to be ...

ABSTRACT Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), including herbal analgesic adjuvants and acupuncture‐based interventions, has gained increasing attention as an integrative strategy for perioperative pain management in oncology. Bioactive phytochemicals—such as terpenoids, flavonoids, alkaloids, and polyphenols—exert multimodal pharmacological effects ...

Mechanisms of CXCR7 induction in malignant melanoma development
Malignant melanoma (MM) is a highly malignant skin tumor. The mechanism of MM pathogenesis and its signaling pathways are not well characterized. C-X-C chemokine receptor type 7 (CXCR7) has been reported to regulate cancer cell invasion. The present study sought to investigate the effects of CXCR7 on MM development.
