Viral Chemokine Receptors [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology, 2015
When my lab sequenced the first chemokine receptors CXCR2 and CCR1 in 1991, the top BLAST hit for CCR1 was open reading frame (ORF) US28 of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), indicating an obvious common ancestor and a possible example of gene piracy. Pox virologists had already identified virally encoded TNF and IFN-γ binding proteins, copied from the host

Chemokine ligand-receptor interactions as potential therapeutic targets for atopic dermatitis: from basic to clinical research [PDF]

Frontiers in Allergy
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that commonly causes eczema accompanied by severe itching on pathological skin lesions. Although the pathological mechanisms are not fully understood, epidermal barrier dysfunction and immune ...

Chemokines and Chemokine Receptors in Multiple Sclerosis [PDF]

Mediators of Inflammation, 2014
Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease with classical traits of demyelination, axonal damage, and neurodegeneration. The migration of autoimmune T cells and macrophages from blood to central nervous system as well as the destruction of blood brain ...

Closely related, yet unique: Distinct homo- and heterodimerization patterns of G protein coupled chemokine receptors and their fine-tuning by cholesterol. [PDF]

PLoS Computational Biology, 2018
Chemokine receptors, a subclass of G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), play essential roles in the human immune system, they are involved in cancer metastasis as well as in HIV-infection.

Bidirectional Regulation of Opioid and Chemokine Function

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
The opioid family of GPCRs consists of the classical opioid receptors, designated μ-, κ-, and δ-opioid receptors, and the orphanin-FQ receptor, and these proteins are expressed on both neuronal and hematopoietic cells.

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

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 ...

Chemokines and chemokine receptors in arthritis [PDF]

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2010
Chemokines are involved in leukocyte recruitment to inflammatory sites, such as the synovial tissue in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). There is a structural and a functional classification of chemokines. The former includes four groups: CXC, CC, C and CX3C chemokines.

Chemokines and chemokine receptors: A new strategy for breast cancer therapy

Cancer Medicine, 2020
Chemokines and chemokine receptors not only participate in the development of tissue differentiation, hematopoiesis, inflammation, and immune regulation but also play an important role in the process of tumor development.

Chemokine Receptors and Phagocyte Biology in Zebrafish

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Phagocytes are highly motile immune cells that ingest and clear microbial invaders, harmful substances, and dying cells. Their function is critically dependent on the expression of chemokine receptors, a class of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs ...
