Fractalkine: a survivor's guide: chemokines as antiapoptotic mediators.
Chemokines are a family of low-molecular-weight proteins essential to the directed migration of cells under homeostatic and pathological conditions. Fractalkine (CX3CL1) is an unusual chemokine that can act as either a soluble or membrane-bound mediator and signals through the G protein-coupled chemokine receptor CX3CR1, expressed on monocytes, natural killer cells, T cells, and smooth muscle c...
متن کاملFractalkine: a novel cardiac chemokine?
The endothelium plays a central role in maintaining cardiovascular integrity, function, and the response to injury. A multitude of bioactive molecules is known to be expressed in and secreted from the endothelium under both physiological and pathophysiological circumstances. Xuan et al. uncover a unique role for fractalkine (FKN), a novel membrane-bound chemokine that is mainly expressed in end...
متن کاملFractalkine in Vascular Biology
Fractalkine (now also called CX3CL1) is a unique chemokine that functions not only as a chemoattractant but also as an adhesion molecule and is expressed on endothelial cells activated by proinflammatory cytokines, such as interferonand tumor necrosis factor. The fractalkine receptor, CX3CR1, is expressed on cytotoxic effector lymphocytes, including natural killer (NK) cells and cytotoxic T lym...
متن کاملOnline exclusive: a model of health behavior to guide studies of childhood cancer survivors.
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES To describe the Interaction Model of Client Health Behavior (IMCHB) and its application to health promotion in childhood cancer survivors. DATA SOURCES Periodical literature about cancer survivors, health behavior models, and the IMCHB. DATA SYNTHESIS Childhood cancer survivors are at risk for various late complications of treatment.

متن کاملFractalkine Depresses Cardiomyocyte Contractility
BACKGROUND Our laboratory reported that male mice with cardiomyocyte-selective knockout of the prostaglandin E2 EP4 receptor sub-type (EP4 KO) exhibit reduced cardiac function. Gene array on left ventricles (LV) showed increased fractalkine, a chemokine implicated in heart failure. We therefore hypothesized that fractalkine is regulated by PGE2 and contributes to depressed contractility via alt...
