Cytotoxicity of rabbit macrophage peptides MCP-1 and MCP-2 for mouse tumor cells.
The cytotoxicity of cationic peptides MCP-1 and MCP-2 isolated from rabbit alveolar macrophages was tested against two tumor cell lines of murine lymphosarcoma origin, RAW117-P and RAW117-H10, and a normal mouse connective tissue fibroblast strain, ATCC CCL1.RAW117-H10 is a highly malignant metastatic variant derived from the less malignant RAW117-P. Our results indicate that these peptides pos...
متن کاملPosttranslational modifications affect the activity of the human monocyte chemotactic proteins MCP-1 and MCP-2: identification of MCP-2(6-76) as a natural chemokine inhibitor.
Chemokines are important mediators in infection and inflammation. The monocyte chemotactic proteins (MCPs) form a subclass of structurally related C-C chemokines. MCPs select specific target cells due to binding to a distinct set of chemokine receptors. Recombinant and synthetic MCP-1 variants have been shown to function as chemokine antagonists. In this study, posttranslationally modified immu...
متن کاملExpression of monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP)-1, MCP-2, and MCP-3 by human airway smooth-muscle cells. Modulation by corticosteroids and T-helper 2 cytokines.
We have demonstrated that, in addition to their contractile function, human airway smooth-muscle cells (HASMC) are able to express and to secrete chemokines of the monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP)/ eotaxin subfamily. This group of chemokines is believed to play a fundamental role in the development of allergic airway diseases such as asthma. The expression levels of MCP (MCP-1, -2, and -3) me...
متن کاملYin and yang of MCP-1.
Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1, also known as CCL2) is a chemokine of the C-C type which recruits circulating monocytes to sites of inflammation. Over the past several years, MCP-1 has become established as a major factor in the development of atherosclerosis through its promotion of monocyte/macrophage accumulation in atherosclerotic plaques, leading in turn to chronic inflammation,...
متن کاملDexmedetomidine Attenuates Lipopolysaccharide Induced MCP-1 Expression in Primary Astrocyte
Background. Neuroinflammation which presents as a possible mechanism of delirium is associated with MCP-1, an important proinflammatory factor which is expressed on astrocytes. It is known that dexmedetomidine (DEX) possesses potent anti-inflammatory properties. This study aimed to investigate the potential effects of DEX on the production of MCP-1 in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated astrocytes. M...
