The role of chemokines and chemokine receptors in eosinophil activation during inflammatory allergic reactions.
Chemokines are important chemotactic cytokines that play a fundamental role in the trafficking of leukocytes to sites of inflammation. They are also potent cell-activating factors, inducing cytokine and histamine release and free radical production, a fact that makes them particularly important in the pathogenesis of allergic inflammation. The action of chemokines is regulated at the level of a...
متن کاملCCR9 Is a Key Regulator of Early Phases of Allergic Airway Inflammation
Airway inflammation is the most common hallmark of allergic asthma. Chemokine receptors involved in leukocyte recruitment are closely related to the pathology in asthma. CCR9 has been described as a homeostatic and inflammatory chemokine receptor, but its role and that of its ligand CCL25 during lung inflammation remain unknown. To investigate the role of CCR9 as a modulator of airway inflammat...
متن کاملEpithelial cancer cell migration: a role for chemokine receptors?
We investigated the possibility that chemokine gradients influence migration of human ovarian epithelial tumor cells. Of 14 chemokine receptors investigated, only CXCR4 was expressed on ovarian cancer cells. CXCR4 mRNA localized to a subpopulation of tumor cells in ovarian cancer biopsies. Ovarian cancer cell lines and cells freshly isolated from ascites expressed CXCR4 protein. The CXCR4 ligan...

متن کاملA new homeostatic model of the T cell system
Our main tenet argues that the primary role of positive thymic selection and the resulting T cell population is the maintenance of a homeostatic equilibrium with self MHC-self peptide complexes. The homeostatic T cell repertoire can recognize infections non-specifically and this is an indirect (negative) recognition: the whole homeostatic T cell population together “holds a mirror” to the whole...
