Identification of a Novel CC Chemokine ( CCL 28 ) which binds CCR 10 ( GPR 2 )

چکیده
We report the identification and characterization of a novel CC chemokine designated CCL28 and its receptor CCR10, the previously orphan G-protein coupled receptor GPR2. Human and mouse CCL28 share 83% identity at the amino acid and 76% at the nucleic acid levels. We also identified the mouse homologues of CCL28 and of CCR10 which map to mouse chromosomes 13 and 11, respectively. CCL28 is expressed in a variety of human and mouse tissues, and it appears to be predominantly produced by epithelial cells. Both human and mouse CCL28 induce calcium mobilization in human and mouse CCR10 expressing transfectants. CCL28 desensitized the calcium mobilization induced in CCR10 transfectants by CCL27, indicating that these chemokines share this new chemokine receptor. In vitro, recombinant human CCL28 displays chemotactic activity for resting CD4 or CD8 T cells. by gest on July 7, 2017 hp://w w w .jb.org/ D ow nladed from

Human G Protein–Coupled Receptor Gpr-9-6/Cc Chemokine Receptor 9 Is Selectively Expressed on Intestinal Homing T Lymphocytes, Mucosal Lymphocytes, and Thymocytes and Is Required for Thymus-Expressed Chemokine–Mediated Chemotaxis
TECK (thymus-expressed chemokine), a recently described CC chemokine expressed in thymus and small intestine, was found to mediate chemotaxis of human G protein-coupled receptor GPR-9-6/L1.2 transfectants. This activity was blocked by anti-GPR-9-6 monoclonal antibody (mAb) 3C3. GPR-9-6 is expressed on a subset of memory alpha4beta7(high) intestinal trafficking CD4 and CD8 lymphocytes. In additi...
متن کاملCutting edge: identification of the orphan chemokine receptor GPR-9-6 as CCR9, the receptor for the chemokine TECK.
Thymus-expressed chemokine (TECK) has been reported to chemoattract dendritic cells, thymocytes, and activated macrophages. Here, we show that TECK is a specific agonist for a human orphan receptor called GPR-9-6. We have determined the cDNA sequence of human GPR-9-6 and cloned the corresponding murine cDNA. Human and murine GPR-9-6 expression is very high in the thymus and low in lymph nodes a...
متن کاملCutting edge: the orphan chemokine receptor G protein-coupled receptor-2 (GPR-2, CCR10) binds the skin-associated chemokine CCL27 (CTACK/ALP/ILC).
We recently reported the identification of a chemokine (CTACK), which has been renamed CCL27 according to a new systematic chemokine nomenclature. We report that CCL27 binds the previously orphan chemokine receptor GPR-2, as detected by calcium flux and chemotactic responses of GPR-2 transfectants. We renamed this receptor CCR10. Because of the skin-associated expression pattern of CCL27, we fo...
متن کاملCCR5 expression and CC chemokine levels in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
CC chemokines play an important role in the pathogenetic mechanisms of interstitial lung disease, while a downregulation of CC chemokine receptor (CCR)5 in the fibrotic stages of sarcoidosis has been observed. To evaluate the involvement of CC chemokines and the expression of CCR5 in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and, more specifically, in usual interstitial pneumonia, 35 subjects were st...
متن کاملHuman memory CCR 4 1 CD 8 1 T cell subset has the ability to produce multiple cytokines
The CC chemokine receptor (CCR)4 is associated with trafficking of specialized cutaneous memory type 2 Th cells in the skin. However, a CD8 1 T cell population expressing CCR4 still remains uncharacterized. In the present study, we investigated the expression and function of CCR4 on human CD8 T cells and characterized CCR4CD8 human T cells. Multi-color flow cytometric analysis revealed that CCR...
