Role of C-C chemokine receptor type 7 and its ligands during neuroinflammation

Epigenetic up-regulation of C-C chemokine receptor 7 and C-X-C chemokine receptor 4 expression in melanoma cells.

Histone deacetylation and DNA methylation establish epigenetic modifications, which through chromatin remodeling may result in gene silencing. We hypothesized that chemokine receptors C-C chemokine receptor 7 (CCR7) and C-X-C chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) on melanoma cells undergo epigenetic regulation. We investigated whether a histone deacetylase inhibitor and a demethylating agent influence C...

Expression of C-X-C chemokine receptor type 7 in otorhinolaryngologic neoplasms.

INTRODUCTION C-X-C chemokine receptor type 7 (CXCR7) has recently been characterised as a novel receptor for the C-X-C motif chemokine 12 (CXCL12)/stromal cell-derived factor 1-alpha. CXCR7 has been thought to play an important role in the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis, angiogenesis and tumour metastasis. The present study aimed to examine the expression of CXCR7 in tissue samples of l...

Expression Receptor and C - C Chemokine Receptor 2 - Opioid Regulation of Thymocyte IL - 7 κ

Role of C-X-C chemokine ligand 12/C-X-C chemokine receptor 4 in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma.

The efficacy of the current non-surgical treatments for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains limited and novel treatments are required to improve patient outcomes. The majority of HCCs develop from chronically damaged tissue that contains a high degree of inflammation and fibrosis, which promotes tumor progression and resistance to therapy. Understanding the interaction between strom...

CCR1 (chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 1)

Note CCR1, a member of the beta chemokine receptor family, is a seven transmembrane protein similar to G protein-coupled receptors. CCR1 is the first human CC chemokine receptor to be identified at the cDNA level. It has a functional viral homolog, US28, which is a human cytomegalovirus.The ligands of this receptor include macrophage inflammatory protein 1 alpha (MIP-1 alpha), regulated on acti...
