Pharmacological and Genetic Targeting of Inflammatory Chemokine Receptors CCR1, CCR2, and CCR5 in Atherosclerosis: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Preclinical Studies [PDF]
Background Inflammatory chemokine receptors encompassing CCR1, CCR2, CCR3, and CCR5 orchestrate the recruitment of leukocytes during inflammation. In atherosclerosis, there is ongoing controversy surrounding the precise role each inflammatory chemokine ...

Activation of α7nAChR prevents maladaptive right ventricular remodeling via inhibiting the recruitment of CCR2+ macrophages in experimental pulmonary arterial hypertension [PDF]
Background The transition from adaptive to maladaptive right ventricular (RV) remodeling leads to RV failure (RVF), which is the strongest predictor of mortality in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).

Surface N‐Glycosylation Dictates MSC‐EV Uptake and CCR2‐Driven Monocyte Recruitment to Inflamed Endothelium Under Shear Flow [PDF]
ABSTRACT Mesenchymal stromal cell‐derived extracellular vesicles (MSC‐EV) hold promising potential for immunomodulation and tissue regeneration, especially for treating ischemia‐reperfusion injury (IRI). However, their therapeutic use is hindered by challenges in tissue targeting and incomplete understanding of their functional mechanisms.

Expression and Characterization of the Chemokine Receptors CCR2 and CCR5 in Mice [PDF]
Abstract The chemokine receptors CCR2 and CCR5 play important roles in the recruitment of monocytes/macrophages and T cells. To better understand the role of both receptors in murine models of inflammatory diseases and to recognize potential problems when correlating these data to humans, we have generated mAbs against murine CCR2 and

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

Background A dose-limiting side effect of chemotherapeutic agents such as vincristine (VCR) is neuropathic pain, which is poorly managed at present. Chemokine-mediated immune cell/neuron communication in preclinical VCR-induced pain forms an intriguing ...

Genetic variation at the chemokine receptors CCR5/CCR2 in myocardial infarction [PDF]
Our objective was to examine the association between myocardial infarction (MI) and two DNA-polymorphisms at the proinflammatory chemokine receptors CCR2 (I64V) and CCR5 (32 bp deletion, (Delta)ccr5), defining if these polymorphisms influence the age for the onset of MI. A total of 214 patients with an age at the first MI episode

Selective loss of chemokine receptor expression on leukocytes after cell isolation.
Chemokine receptors are distinctively exposed on cells to characterize their migration pattern. However, little is known about factors that may regulate their expression. To determine the optimal conditions for an accurate analysis of chemokine receptors,

Analysis of CCR2 splice variant expression patterns and functional properties
Background C–C motif chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2), the main receptor for monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), is expressed on immune cells, including monocytes, macrophages, and activated T cells, and mediates cell migration toward MCP-1 in ...
