The role of chemokines and chemokine receptors in mycosis fungoides
Background: Chemokines are a family of cytokines initially characterized by their capacity to induce chemotaxis, or directed leukocyte migrations. These receptors are activated by chemotactic cytokines called chemokines. Interactions between chemokines and chemokine receptors also are involved in tumorigenesis, migration and invasion of lymphoma cells.Methods: An English literature search...
متن کاملChemokines and Chemokine Receptors
Chemokines (CKs) are a family of small proteins secreted by a great variety of cell types. Their name (derived from chemoattractant cytokines) is due to their ability to induce directed chemotaxis in nearby responsive cells. Some CKs are considered pro-inflammatory and can be induced during an immune response to promote cells of the immune system to a site of infection, whereas others are consi...
متن کاملCytokines, Chemokines, and Chemokine Receptors Quantitative Expressions in Patients with Ovarian Cancer
Background: Cytokines, chemokines, and chemokine receptors regulate the proliferation and survival of tumor cells, angiogenesis, and metastasis to other organs. This network of ligands and receptors has been used in molecular targeting of cancer. Methods: We compared the mRNA expression of CXCR3, CXCL-10, CXCR4, CXCL-12, IL-4, and IL-10 in tissues of benign and malignant ovarian tumors by qRT-P...
متن کاملChemokines and Chemokine Receptors in Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease with classical traits of demyelination, axonal damage, and neurodegeneration. The migration of autoimmune T cells and macrophages from blood to central nervous system as well as the destruction of blood brain barrier are thought to be the major processes in the development of this disease. Chemokines, which are small peptide mediators, can attract pat...
متن کاملChemokines and chemokine receptors in CNS pathology.
Chemokines are small proin ̄ammatory cytokines which stimulate migration of in ̄ammatory cells in vitro and in vivo. They can be divided according to structure, function and gene localization into four different subfamilies. Chemokines have been ascribed diverse additional functions, including regulation of angiogenesis, control of cell proliferation and developmental tissue patterning. The suspi...
