Chemokine and chemokine receptor expression in the central nervous system.
A decade ago several new cytokines were described that orchestrated the activation and migration of immune cells. These newly described cytokines, of which interleukin-8 (IL-8) was a representative member, defined a novel group of molecules called chemokines (chemotactic cytokines). Chemokines are low molecular weight, 8-12 kDa, basic proteins that have been classified into four distinct famili...
متن کاملDifferential chemokine receptor expression and function in human monocyte subpopulations.
The subset of human blood monocytes expressing low levels of CD14 and high levels of CD16 (CD14+CD16+) exhibits features resembling mature tissue macrophages and can be expanded in inflammatory conditions. We analyzed expression of CC chemokine receptors (CCR) in CD14+CD16+ versus CD14++ monocytes, which may be crucial for specific trafficking. Multicolor flow cytometric analysis of whole perip...
متن کاملExpression of chemokine receptor CXCR6 in human colorectal adenocarcinomas.
Infiltration of inflammatory cells into colorectal adenocarcinomas is considered of importance for tumour progression. Tumour-associated macrophages and T cells are predominant components of the chemokine-guided filtrate of most colorectal tumours. CXCR6 is a chemokine receptor expressed by Th1, Tc, NKT cells and smooth muscle cells. To determine whether CXCR6 is expressed in human colorectal c...
متن کاملExpression of the chemokine receptor CCR1 in human renal allografts.
BACKGROUND Chemokines are involved in the recruitment of leukocytes to vascularized allografts. CCR1 is a receptor for various proinflammatory chemokines and CCR1 blockade reduces renal allograft injury in rabbits. The purpose of the study was to characterize CCR1-positive cells in human renal allografts. METHODS Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded allograft nephrectomies (n = 9) and non-involv...
متن کاملExpression of the chemokine receptor CCR6 in human renal inflammation.
BACKGROUND Nodular inflammatory cell infiltrates with defined microarchitecture, i.e. tertiary lymphoid organs, develop in the tubulointerstitium during chronic renal inflammation. CCR6 and the corresponding ligand CCL20 are involved in the formation of gut-associated lymphatic tissue. We hypothesized that CCR6 might be involved in the formation of nodular infiltrates in the kidney. METHODS C...
