Duffy antigen receptor for chemokines and its involvement in patterning and control of inflammatory chemokines
Leukocyte functions are linked to their migratory responses, which, in turn, are largely determined by the expression profile of classical chemokine receptors. Upon binding their cognate chemokines, these G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) initiate signaling cascades and downstream molecular and cellular responses, including integrin activation and cell locomotion. Chemokines also bind to an a...
متن کاملThe Duffy Antigen Receptor for Chemokines DARC/ACKR1
The discovery that the Duffy antigen was a promiscuous chemokine binding protein was entirely serendipitous and resulted from research begun at Genentech in 1991. The company had a strong interest in chemokines because of their role in disease and this was furthered by the recent cloning of two chemokine receptors CXCR1 and CXCR2. Both were IL-8 (CXCL8) receptors expressed on immune cells, prim...
متن کاملDuffy Antigen Receptor for Chemokines Regulates Post-Fracture Inflammation
There is now considerable experimental data to suggest that inflammatory cells collaborate in the healing of skeletal fractures. In terms of mechanisms that contribute to the recruitment of inflammatory cells to the fracture site, chemokines and their receptors have received considerable attention. Our previous findings have shown that Duffy antigen receptor for chemokines (Darc), the non-class...
متن کاملInteraction of Duffy antigen receptor for chemokines and KAI1: a critical step in metastasis suppression.
Tumor metastases suppressor protein KAI1/CD82 is capable of blocking the tumor metastases without affecting the primary tumor formation, and its expression is significantly down-regulated in many types of human cancers. However, the exact molecular mechanism of the suppressor function of KAI1 remains elusive. Evidence from our laboratory supports a model in which tumor cells dislodge from the p...
متن کاملGene encoding Duffy antigen/receptor for chemokines is associated with asthma and IgE in three populations.
RATIONALE Asthma prevalence and severity are high among underserved minorities, including those of African descent. The Duffy antigen/receptor for chemokines is the receptor for Plasmodium vivax on erythrocytes and functions as a chemokine-clearing receptor. Unlike European populations, decreased expression of the receptor on erythrocytes is common among populations of African descent, and resu...
