The role of chemokines and chemokine receptors in mycosis fungoides
Background: Chemokines are a family of cytokines initially characterized by their capacity to induce chemotaxis, or directed leukocyte migrations. These receptors are activated by chemotactic cytokines called chemokines. Interactions between chemokines and chemokine receptors also are involved in tumorigenesis, migration and invasion of lymphoma cells.Methods: An English literature search...
متن کاملBiased signaling at chemokine receptors.
The ability of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) to activate selective signaling pathways according to the conformation stabilized by bound ligands (signaling bias) is a challenging concept in the GPCR field. Signaling bias has been documented for several GPCRs, including chemokine receptors. However, most of these studies examined the global signaling bias between G protein- and arrestin-dep...
متن کاملChemokine receptors.
Chemokines mediate their multiple effects by binding to a variety of specific receptors, that comprise a subfamily of rhodopsin-like, 7-transmembrane domain receptors, coupled to G proteins. Some of these receptors serve as coreceptors for HIV, some of them could be expressed as markers for T lymphocyte functional differentiation. This review aims at summarising data on chemokine receptors, the...
متن کاملChemokine sequestration by atypical chemokine receptors.
Leucocyte migration is essential for robust immune and inflammatory responses, and plays a critical role in many human diseases. Chemokines, a family of small secreted protein chemoattractants, are of fundamental importance in this process, directing leucocyte trafficking by signalling through heptahelical G-protein-coupled receptors expressed by the migrating cells. However, several mammalian ...
متن کاملMembrane interaction of the N-terminal domain of chemokine receptor CXCR1.
The N-terminal domain of chemokine receptors constitutes one of the two critical ligand binding sites, and plays important roles by mediating binding affinity, receptor selectivity, and regulating function. In this work, we monitored the organization and dynamics of a 34-mer peptide of the CXC chemokine receptor 1 (CXCR1) N-terminal domain and its interaction with membranes by utilizing a combi...
