Adenovirus-Mediated In Vivo Silencing of Anaphylatoxin Receptor C5aR
C5a, one of the most potent inflammatory peptides, induces its inflammatory functions by interacting with C5a receptor (C5aR) that belongs to the rhodopsin family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors. C5a/C5aR signaling has been implicated in the pathogenesis of many inflammatory and immunological diseases such as sepsis and acute lung injury. Widespread upregulation of C5aR has b...
متن کاملCutting edge: expression of chemokine receptor CXCR1 on human effector CD8+ T cells.
IL-8 is a potent inflammatory cytokine that induces chemotaxis of neutrophils expressing CXCR1 and CXCR2, thus indicating its involvement in the migration of these cells to inflammatory sites where bacteria proliferate. Presently, we showed that CXCR1(+) cells were predominantly found among CD8(+) T cells having effector phenotype, and that the expression of CXCR1 was positively correlated with...
متن کاملAdenovirus-mediated regulable target gene expression in vivo.
To regulate expression of a transferred gene in response to an exogenous compound, we have combined a high capacity adenoviral vector devoid of all viral coding sequences with a regulatory system that can be used to express a target gene in vivo in a selected site and at a desired time. This system uses a chimeric transactivator, GLp65, which consists of a mutated progesterone receptor-ligand b...
متن کاملIdentification of a signal transduction switch in the chemokine receptor CXCR1.
Chemokine receptors belong to the superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors, which regulate the trafficking and activation of leukocytes, and operate as coreceptors in the entry of HIV-1. To investigate the early steps in the signal transmission from the chemokine-binding site to the G protein-coupling region we engineered metal ion-binding sites at putative extracellular sites in the chemokin...
متن کاملExpression and function of the chemokine receptors CXCR1 and CXCR2 in sepsis.
Neutrophils (polymorphonuclear neutrophils; PMN) and a redundant system of chemotactic cytokines (chemokines) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of the acute respiratory distress syndrome in patients with sepsis. PMN express two cell surface receptors for the CXC chemokines, CXCR1 and CXCR2. We investigated the expression and function of these receptors in patients with severe sepsis. Com...
