Chemoattractant Protein-1 Production by Hypoxia Selectively Inhibits Monocyte

Macrophages Chemoattractant Protein-1 Production by Hypoxia Selectively Inhibits Monocyte

IL-11 selectively inhibits aeroallergen-induced pulmonary eosinophilia and Th2 cytokine production.

IL-11 is a pleiotropic cytokine that induces tissue remodeling with subepithelial fibrosis when expressed in the airway. Its effects on the Th2-dominated airway inflammation that is characteristic of asthma, however, are poorly understood. To characterize the effects of IL-11 on Th2 tissue inflammation, we compared the inflammatory responses elicited by OVA in sensitized mice in which IL-11 is ...

Modulates Th1 Immune Response of Monocyte-Derived Dendritic Cells and Ligand-Dependent IL-12-Producing Capacity Selectively Inhibits the Acquisition of CD40 Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1

Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1-induced angiogenesis is mediated by vascular endothelial growth factor-A.

Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) has been recognized as an angiogenic chemokine. In the present study, we investigated the detailed mechanism by which MCP-1 induces angiogenesis. We found that MCP-1 up-regulated hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1 alpha) gene expression in human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs), which induced vascular endothelial growth factor-A(165) (VEGF-A(165))...

Hypoxia down-regulates MCP-1 expression: implications for macrophage distribution in tumors.

Monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) is likely to contribute to the macrophage infiltrate in human ovarian carcinomas. Although MCP-1 is predominantly expressed by the tumor parenchyma, macrophages accumulate at highest density in necrotic regions, which are associated with low oxygen tensions. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) can stimulate MCP-1 production and is also present with...
