Porcine monocyte subsets differ in the expression of CCR2 and in their responsiveness to CCL2

چکیده
Monocyte subsets have been shown to differ in the pattern of chemokine receptor expression and their migratory properties, both in human and mouse. Previously we have characterized in the swine several monocyte subpopulations, based on the expression of CD163, Tük4 and SLA-II, which share features with the populations described in human and mouse. Here, we have analysed the expression of different chemokine receptors in the CD163-Tük4+SLA-II- and CD163+Tük4-SLA-II+ populations of porcine monocytes. CD163+Tük4-SLA-II+ monocytes expressed higher CX3CR1 but lower CCR2 and CXCR4 mRNA levels than CD163-Tük4+SLA-II- monocytes. Moreover, porcine CCL2 binding on Tük4+SLA-II- but not on Tük4-SLA-II+ cells was detected by using a CCL2-green fluorescence protein (pCCL2-GFP) fusion protein. Finally, flow cytometric analyses of monocytes recovered after chemotaxis assays show a clear increase in the proportion of Tük4+SLA-II- cells in the fraction migrating toward CCL2, consistent with the polarized CCR2 expression in this monocyte population. The pattern of expression of these chemokine receptors reinforces the similarities of these porcine subsets with their human and mouse counterparts.

CCR2 on CD14+CD16+ monocytes is a biomarker of HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders
OBJECTIVE To evaluate C-C chemokine receptor type 2 (CCR2) on monocyte subsets as a prognostic peripheral blood biomarker of HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND). METHODS We characterized monocyte populations in HIV-infected individuals with and without HAND from 2 cohorts and assessed their transmigration across an in vitro model of the human blood-brain barrier (BBB). We examined ...
متن کاملRegulation of monocyte subset systemic levels by distinct chemokine receptors controls post-ischaemic neovascularization.
AIMS Monocyte systemic levels are known to be a major determinant of ischaemic tissue revascularization, but the mechanisms mediating mobilization of different monocyte subsets-Ly6C(hi) and Ly6C(lo)-to the blood and their respective role in post-ischaemic neovascularization are not clearly understood. Here, we hypothesized that distinct chemokine/chemokine receptor pathways, namely CCL2/CCR2, C...
متن کاملCCR2 Acts as Scavenger for CCL2 during Monocyte Chemotaxis
BACKGROUND Leukocyte migration is essential for effective host defense against invading pathogens and during immune homeostasis. A hallmark of the regulation of this process is the presentation of chemokines in gradients stimulating leukocyte chemotaxis via cognate chemokine receptors. For efficient migration, receptor responsiveness must be maintained whilst the cells crawl on cell surfaces or...
متن کاملPost-BMT lung injury occurs independently of the expression of CCL2 or its receptor, CCR2, on host cells.
Idiopathic pneumonia syndrome (IPS) is a significant cause of mortality post-bone marrow transplant (BMT) in humans. In our murine model, lethal pre-BMT conditioning and allogeneic T cells result in the recruitment of host antigen-presenting cells (APC) and donor T cells into the lung post-BMT concomitant with development of severe lung dysfunction. CCL2 induction is found in bronchoalveolar la...

Idiopathic pneumonia syndrome (IPS) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality post-BMT in humans. In our murine IPS model, lethal pre-BMT conditioning and allogeneic T cells result in the recruitment of host antigen-presenting cells (APC) into the lung by day 3 and then donor T cells by day 7 post-BMT concomitant with development of severe lung dysfunction. CCL2 induction was found in b...
