Human gingival fibroblasts express functional chemokine receptor CXCR6.
We have reported that CXCL16, a recently discovered transmembrane chemokine, is expressed in human gingival fibroblasts (HGF). However, it is not known whether HGF express CXCR6, the receptor for CXCL16, or CXCL16 affects HGF biology. We have shown that HGF expressed CXCR6 by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and flow cytometric analysis. Moreover, we elucidated that tumour necros...
متن کاملMurine astrocytes express a functional chemokine receptor.
Elevated levels of chemokines have been observed in various diseases of the CNS. Little is known, however, about how these chemokines affect parenchymal cells of the CNS. The current studies examine astrocyte chemotaxis to the mouse chemokine macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha (MIP-1alpha). Murine astrocytes demonstrate directed migration along a chemical gradient in response to 10(-10)-10(...
متن کاملExpression of chemokine receptor CXCR6 in human colorectal adenocarcinomas.
Infiltration of inflammatory cells into colorectal adenocarcinomas is considered of importance for tumour progression. Tumour-associated macrophages and T cells are predominant components of the chemokine-guided filtrate of most colorectal tumours. CXCR6 is a chemokine receptor expressed by Th1, Tc, NKT cells and smooth muscle cells. To determine whether CXCR6 is expressed in human colorectal c...
متن کاملFunctional TLRs and NODs in human gingival fibroblasts.
Since human gingival fibroblasts are the major cells in periodontal tissues, we hypothesized that gingival fibroblasts are endowed with receptors for bacterial components, which induce innate immune responses against invading bacteria. We found clear mRNA expression of Toll-like receptors (TLR)1, TLR2, TLR3, TLR4, TLR5, TLR6, TLR7, TLR8, TLR9, MD-2, MyD88, NOD1, and NOD2 in gingival fibroblasts...
متن کاملThe Chemokine Receptor CXCR6 Evokes Reverse Signaling via the Transmembrane Chemokine CXCL16
Reverse signaling is a signaling mechanism where transmembrane or membrane-bound ligands transduce signals and exert biological effects upon binding of their specific receptors, enabling a bidirectional signaling between ligand and receptor-expressing cells. In this study, we address the question of whether the transmembrane chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 16, CXCL16 is able to transduce reverse...
