Molecular insights into ligand recognition and activation of chemokine receptors CCR2 and CCR3 [PDF]

Cell Discovery, 2022
Chemokine receptors are a family of G-protein-coupled receptors with key roles in leukocyte migration and inflammatory responses. Here, we present cryo-electron microscopy structures of two human CC chemokine receptor–G-protein complexes: CCR2 bound to ...

Human Mas-related G protein-coupled receptors-X1 induce chemokine receptor 2 expression in rat dorsal root ganglia neurons and release of chemokine ligand 2 from the human LAD-2 mast cell line [PDF]

, 2013
Primate-specific Mas-related G protein-coupled receptors-X1 (MRGPR-X1) are highly enriched in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons and induce acute pain. Herein, we analyzed effects of MRGPR-X1 on serum response factors (SRF) or nuclear factors of activated

Evolution of CCR5 and CCR2 Genes in Bats Showed Multiple Independent Gene Conversion Events

Viruses, 2022
Chemokine receptors are an important determinant for the infectiousness of different pathogens, which are able to target the host cells by binding to the extracellular domains of these proteins.

Arteriolar and venular remodeling are differentially regulated by bone marrow-derived cell-specific CX3CR1 and CCR2 expression. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The chemokine receptors CCR2 and CX3CR1 are critical for the recruitment of "inflammatory" and "resident" monocytes, respectively, subpopulations that differentially affect vascular remodeling in atherosclerosis.

Structural insights from binding poses of CCR2 and CCR5 with clinically important antagonists: a combined in silico study. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Chemokine receptors are G protein-coupled receptors that contain seven transmembrane domains. In particular, CCR2 and CCR5 and their ligands have been implicated in the pathophysiology of a number of diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis and multiple ...

Functional interaction between angiotensin II receptor type 1 and chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 2 with implications for chronic kidney disease. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Understanding functional interactions between G protein-coupled receptors is of great physiological and pathophysiological importance. Heteromerization provides one important potential mechanism for such interaction between different signalling pathways ...

Why CCR2 and CCR5 blockade failed and why CCR1 blockade might still be effective in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to provide more insight into the question as to why blockade of CCR1, CCR2, and CCR5 may have failed in clinical trials in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, using an in vitro monocyte migration system model ...

Chemokine Receptors—Structure-Based Virtual Screening Assisted by Machine Learning

Pharmaceutics, 2023
Chemokines modulate the immune response by regulating the migration of immune cells. They are also known to participate in such processes as cell–cell adhesion, allograft rejection, and angiogenesis.

Anterograde Trafficking of CXCR4 and CCR2 Receptors in a Prostate Cancer Cell Line

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2013
Background: Most prostate cancer-related deaths result from metastasis. CXCR4 and CCR2 are known to govern cellular processes resulting in cell migration, proliferation and survival.
