Dendritic cell-targeting chemokines inhibit colorectal cancer progression
Aim: Recent progress in cancer immunotherapy has shown its promise and prompted researchers to develop novel therapeutic strategies. Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional antigen-presenting cells crucial for initiating adaptive anti-tumor immunity ...

Production of biologically active human lymphotactin (XCL1) by Lactococcus lactis [PDF]
Lymphotactin-XCL1 is a chemokine produced mainly by activated CD8+ T-cells and directs migration of CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocytes and natural killer (NK) cells. We expressed human lymphotactin (LTN) by the lactic-acid bacterium Lactococcus lactis. Biological activity of LTN was confirmed by chemo-attraction of human T-cells by chemotaxis demonstrating, for

Depot-specific inflammation with decreased expression of ATM2 in white adipose tissues induced by high-margarine/lard intake. [PDF]
A high-fat diet has been recognized as an important risk factor of obesity, with variable impacts of different fatty acid compositions on the physiological process. To understand the effects of a high-margarine/lard diet, which is a major source of trans

Aberrant Tissue Positioning of Metallophilic Macrophages in the Thymus of XCL1‐Deficient Mice [PDF]
ABSTRACTMetallophilic macrophages hold a strategic position within the thymic tissue and play a considerable function in thymic physiology. The development and positioning of these cells within thymic tissue are regulated by complex molecular mechanisms involving different cytokine/chemokine axes.

The chemokine receptor XCR1 is known to be selectively expressed by cross-presenting dendritic cells (DCs), while its ligand XCL1/lymphotactin is mainly produced by activated CD8+ T cells and natural killer cells.

Development of adjuvants for CTL induction using high active form of lymphotactin/XCL1 [PDF]
研究成果の概要(和文):近年、ケモカイン受容体XCR1がCTL誘導に特化した樹状細胞に選択的に発現することが明らかとなり、XCR1のリガンドであるXCL1のCTL誘導アジュバントへの応用が期待されている。本研究では、XCL1の構造変異体 (XCL1-CC3) を作製し、XCL1-CC3が野生型XCL1-WTに比べて細胞遊走活性が向上することを明らかとした。また、in vivoにおいてXCL1-CC3は有意にCD103陽性樹状細胞を抗原投与部位に集積させ、OVA特異的CTL誘導を促進した。さらに、XCL1-

Dendritic cells (DC) play a crucial role in generating and maintaining antiviral immunity. While DC are implicated in the antiviral defense by inducing T cell responses, they can also become infected by Cytomegalovirus (CMV).

(A) The virion capture assay was performed using immunomagnetic beads armed with 3 different XCL1 variants (WT in green bars, W55D in purple bars, and CC3 in light blue bars) as molecular baits to capture whole HIV-1 virions (strain IIIB; X4).

The XCL1-XCR1 axis supports intestinal tissue residency and antitumor immunity. [PDF]
Tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM) provide frontline protection against pathogens and emerging malignancies. Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) with TRM features are associated with improved clinical outcomes. However, the cellular interactions that program TRM differentiation and function are not well understood.
