ELR+-CXC chemokines and their receptors in early metanephric development.
Although originally identified as mediators of inflammation, it is now apparent that chemokines play a fundamental role in tissue development. In this study, ELR(+)-CXC chemokine family members CXCL2 and CXCL7, along with their preferred receptor CXCR2, were expressed at the earliest stages of metanephric development in the rat, and signaling through this receptor was required for the survival ...
متن کاملThe ELR+CXCL chemokines and their receptors CXCR1/CXCR2
The long-term efficacy of anti-angiogenesis drugs targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and VEGF receptors in the treatment of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has been lacking. We have shown that the ELR+CXCL cytokines and their (C-X-C) chemokine receptors, namely CXCR1 and CXCR2, stimulate cancer cell proliferation, tumor inflammation, and angiogenesis. Hence, this essential molecular...
متن کاملNovel anti-angiogenic peptides derived from ELR-containing CXC chemokines.
Angiogenesis is tightly regulated by numerous endogenous pro- and anti-angiogenic proteins and peptides. Among these are the CXC chemokines, a set of multifunctional peptides. CXC chemokines containing the ELR motif act as pro-angiogenic agents by regulating both endothelial cell proliferation and migration. Here we show that a set of six 22-24-amino acid peptides derived from the pro-angiogeni...
متن کاملA Protective Role for ELR+ Chemokines during Acute Viral Encephalomyelitis
The functional role of ELR-positive CXC chemokines in host defense during acute viral-induced encephalomyelitis was determined. Inoculation of the neurotropic JHM strain of mouse hepatitis virus (JHMV) into the central nervous system (CNS) of mice resulted in the rapid mobilization of PMNs expressing the chemokine receptor CXCR2 into the blood. Migration of PMNs to the CNS coincided with increa...
متن کاملEpigenetics Underpinning the Regulation of the CXC (ELR+) Chemokines in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
BACKGROUND Angiogenesis may play a role in the pathogenesis of Non-Small Cell Lung cancer (NSCLC). The CXC (ELR(+)) chemokine family are powerful promoters of the angiogenic response. METHODS The expression of the CXC (ELR(+)) family members (CXCL1-3/GROα-γ, CXCL8/IL-8, CXCR1/2) was examined in a series of resected fresh frozen NSCLC tumours. Additionally, the expression and epigenetic regula...
