CCR2 chemokine receptor signaling mediates pain in experimental osteoarthritis.
Osteoarthritis is one of the leading causes of chronic pain, but almost nothing is known about the mechanisms and molecules that mediate osteoarthritis-associated joint pain. Consequently, treatment options remain inadequate and joint replacement is often inevitable. Here, we use a surgical mouse model that captures the long-term progression of knee osteoarthritis to longitudinally assess pain-...
متن کاملPhosphorylation of filamin A regulates chemokine receptor CCR2 recycling.
Proper endosomal trafficking of ligand-activated G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) is essential to spatiotemporally tune their physiological responses. For the monocyte chemoattractant receptor 2 (CCR2B; one of two isoforms encoded by CCR2), endocytic recycling is important to sustain monocyte migration, whereas filamin A (FLNa) is essential for CCL2-induced monocyte migration. Here, we analy...
متن کاملMonocyte/macrophage chemokine receptor CCR2 mediates diabetic renal injury.
Monocyte/macrophage recruitment correlates strongly with the progression of renal impairment in diabetic nephropathy (DN). C-C chemokine receptor (CCR)2 regulates monocyte/macrophage migration into injured tissues. However, the direct role of CCR2-mediated monocyte/macrophage recruitment in diabetic kidney disease remains unclear. We report that pharmacological blockade or genetic deficiency of...
متن کاملIncreased Intrathecal Chemokine Receptor CCR2 Expression in Multiple Sclerosis
Expression of CCR2, CXCR3 and CCR4 on CD4(+) T or CD8(+) T cells in blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for multiple sclerosis (MS) was measured by 3-color flow cytometry, and compared to blood from healthy controls and CSF from patients with other inflammatory neurological diseases (INDs). CD4(+)CXCR3(+)/CD4(+)CCR4(+) ratio (representing Th1/Th2 balance) was higher in both CSF and blood of MS ...
متن کاملCX3CL1/CX3CR1 and CCL2/CCR2 Chemokine/Chemokine Receptor Complex in Patients with AMD
PURPOSE The chemokine receptors CX3CR1 and CCR2 have been implicated in the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The evidence is mainly derived from experimental cell studies and murine models of AMD. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between expression of CX3CR1 and CCR2 on different leukocyte subsets and AMD. Furthermore we measured the plasma leve...
