Monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP)-1 promotes angiogenesis via a novel transcription factor, MCP-1-induced protein (MCPIP).
Monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) has been recognized as an angiogenic chemokine. The molecular mechanism of MCP-1-mediated angiogenesis remains unknown. We recently identified a novel transcription factor, designated MCP-1-induced protein (MCPIP), in human monocytes after treatment with MCP-1. We investigated whether MCP-1-induced angiogenesis is mediated via MCPIP. Treatment of human umb...
متن کاملIκBζ is a transcriptional key regulator of CCL2/MCP-1.
CCL2, also referred to as MCP-1, is critically involved in directing the migration of blood monocytes to sites of inflammation. Consequently, excessive CCL2 secretion has been linked to many inflammatory diseases, whereas a lack of expression severely impairs immune responsiveness. We demonstrate that IκBζ, an atypical IκB family member and transcriptional coactivator required for the selective...
متن کاملAn HIV-1 Mini Vaccine Induced Long-lived Cellular and Humoral Immune Responses
Memory formation is the most important aspect of a vaccine which can guarantee long-lasting immunity and protection. The main aim of the present study was to evaluate the memory immune responses after immunization with a mini vaccine. Mice were immunized with human immunodeficiency virus-1 P24-Nef fusion peptide and then cellular and humoral immune responses were evaluated. In order to determin...
متن کاملMCP-1 expression in endotoxin-induced uveitis.
PURPOSE Monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 (CCL-2) is a chemokine with chemoattractant properties for monocytes, memory T cells, natural killer cells, mast cells, and basophils. To delineate the role played by MCP-1 in acute anterior uveitis, a common ocular inflammation, MCP-1(-/-) mice and wild-type matched control mice were analyzed for the development of endotoxin-induced uveitis (EIU...
متن کاملPhyllostachys edulis Compounds Inhibit Palmitic Acid-Induced Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein 1 (MCP-1) Production
BACKGROUND Phyllostachys edulis Carriere (Poaceae) is a bamboo species that is part of the traditional Chinese medicine pharmacopoeia. Compounds and extracts from this species have shown potential applications towards several diseases. One of many complications found in obesity and diabetes is the link between elevated circulatory free fatty acids (FFAs) and chronic inflammation. This study aim...
