چکیده

Chemokines and their receptors play a critical role in the selective attraction of various subsets of leukocytes. We examined the chemokine receptor expressions and responsiveness of cord blood (CB) T cells. Flow-cytometric analysis revealed that peripheral blood (PB) T cells expressed CCR-1, CCR-2, CCR-5, CCR-6, CXC chemokine receptor-3 (CXCR-3), and CXCR-4, while CB T cells expressed only CXCR-4 on their surface. Chemotactic migratory response of CB T cells to macrophage-inflammatory protein (MIP)-1alpha, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, RANTES, MIP-3alpha, monokine induced by IFN-gamma, and IFN-gamma-inducible protein-10 was significantly impaired compared with those of PB T cells. In contrast, the ability of CB T cells to migrate to MIP-3beta, 6Ckine, and stromal cell-derived factor-1alpha was greater than that of PB T cells, and these events were correlated with the expression levels of CCR-7 and CXCR-4, respectively. Engagement of CD3 and CD28 specifically up-regulated CXCR-3 expression and chemotaxis to monokine induced by IFN-gamma and IFN-gamma-inducible protein-10, whereas this stimulation down-regulated CCR-7 expression and chemotaxis to MIP-3beta and 6Ckine in PB T cells, but not in CB T cells. These results suggest that PB T cells and CB T cells exhibit distinct chemokine responsiveness via different chemokine receptor repertoire.

Expression of Chemokine Receptors on Th1/Th2 CD4+ Lymphocytes in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis

Background: Th1 cells preferentially express CXCR3, CCR5 and CCR6, while CCR3 and CCR4 are predominantly expressed by Th2 cell subsets. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a Th1 cell-dependant chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system, and immunomudolatory cytokines could alter the chemokine expression pattern of these lymphocyte subsets. Objective: This study was performed to measure c...

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...

Comparative 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...

CXCR-4 desensitization is associated with tissue localization of hemopoietic progenitor cells.

The chemokine stroma-derived factor (SDF)-1, and its receptor, CXCR-4, have been shown to be essential for the translocation of hemopoietic stem cells from the fetal liver to the bone marrow (BM). We hypothesized that if CXCR-4 plays a crucial role in the localization of human hemopoiesis, stem cells from distinct tissue sources should demonstrate distinct CXCR-4 expression or signaling profile...

CD26+ Cord Blood Mononuclear Cells Significantly Produce B, T, and NK Cells

Background: Umbilical cord blood (UCB) is an alternative source of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), used in Leukemia treatment. CD26+ cells, a fraction of CD34 positive cells, are a major population of UCB cells which negatively regulate the in vivo homing and engraftment of HSCs. CD26 is highly expressed in various cells such as HSCs, immune cells, fibroblasts, and epithelial ce...
