Potential role of the chemokine macrophage inflammatory protein 1alpha in human and experimental schistosomiasis.
In human schistosomiasis, the concentrations of the chemokine macrophage inflammatory protein 1alpha (MIP-1alpha/CCL3) is greater in the plasma of patients with clinical hepatosplenic disease. The objective of the present study was to confirm the ability of CCL3 to detect severe disease in patients classified by ultrasonography (US) and to evaluate the potential role of CCL3 in Schistosoma mans...
متن کاملPlasma concentrations and role of macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha during chronic Schistosoma mansoni infection in humans.
Chemokines play an important role during granulomatous inflammation in murine models of Schistosoma mansoni infection. Here, the expression and possible roles of chemokines during human S. mansoni infection were examined. Compared with uninfected individuals, infected patients had elevated plasma concentrations of macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1alpha, RANTES (regulated on activation, no...
متن کاملCCR6, a CC Chemokine Receptor that Interacts with Macrophage Inflammatory Protein 3α and Is Highly Expressed in Human Dendritic Cells
Dendritic cells initiate immune responses by ferrying antigen from the tissues to the lymphoid organs for presentation to lymphocytes. Little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying this migratory behavior. We have identified a chemokine receptor which appears to be selectively expressed in human dendritic cells derived from CD34+ cord blood precursors, but not in dendritic cells der...
متن کاملIn Vivo Inhibition of CC and CX3C Chemokine–induced Leukocyte Infiltration and Attenuation of Glomerulonephritis in Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) Rats by vMIP-II
Chemokines play a central role in immune and inflammatory responses. It has been observed recently that certain viruses have evolved molecular piracy and mimicry mechanisms by encoding and synthesizing proteins that interfere with the normal host defense response. One such viral protein, vMIP-II, encoded by human herpesvirus 8, has been identified with in vitro antagonistic activities against C...
متن کاملComparative Analysis of Expression of Chemokoine Receptors CXCR4, CXCR6, CCR1 and CX3CR in Human Adipose-Drived Mesenchymal Stem Cell with Valproic Acid
Introduction: Chemokine receptors are found on the surface of stem cells. There have been 19 distinct chemokine receptors described in mammals. Chemokines are major players in migration and homing. Therefore, changes in their levels or function can help us to increase the migratory potential of these cells. Valproic acid differs in structure from other drugs in common use. The way in which Va...
