چکیده

The inflammation accompanies and exacerbates cerebral ischaemia. The infiltrated leucocytes are thought to contribute to tissue injury in stroke patients. GRO-alpha (CXCL1) is a potent neutrophil chemoattractant which may play an important role in pathophysiology of stroke. 23 ischaemic stroke patients and 15 controls have been studied. CSF and blood sampling together with cranial CT were performed within first 24 hours of stroke. CXCL1 levels were determined by ELISA, and volume of stroke-related brain CT hypodense areas was calculated. Stroke patients displayed significantly higher CSF CXCL1 level than controls (65.6+/-22.3 vs 43.8+/-2.3 pg/ml; p<0.01). Serum CXCL1 levels in stroke patients did not differ from controls. CSF CXCL1 level correlated positively with volume of brain CT hypodense areas (p<0.001). The results suggest that CXCL1 may be involved in inflammatory reaction during an early phase of ischaemic stroke.

The chemokine GRO-alpha (CXCL1) confers increased tumorigenicity to glioma cells.

The chemokine GRO-alpha (CXCL1) has been found to mediate the proliferation of glia progenitor cells during neural development. As malignant gliomas are thought to arise from glia progenitors or their differentiated counterparts, astrocytes or oligodendrocytes, we have investigated whether GRO-alpha regulates the tumor characteristics of glioma cells. We found first that resected glioma specime...

Evaluation of circulating concentrations of CXCL1 (Gro-α), CXCL10 (IP-10) and CXCL12 (SDF-1) in ALL patients prior and post bone marrow transplantation.

The immune system plays an important role in the development of leukemia. CXC chemokines, as the molecular members of this system, are involved in the immune responses. Therefore, this study was designed to examine and compare the levels of CXCL1 (Gro-α), CXCL10 (IP-10) and CXCL12 (SDF-1) in ALL patients prior to and post bone marrow transplantation (BMT). In this experimental study, samples we...

Duffy antigen facilitates movement of chemokine across the endothelium in vitro and promotes neutrophil transmigration in vitro and in vivo.

The Duffy Ag expressed on RBCs, capillaries, and postcapillary venular endothelial cells binds selective CXC and CC chemokines with high affinity. Cells transfected with the Duffy Ag internalize but do not degrade chemokine ligand. It has been proposed that Duffy Ag transports chemokines across the endothelium. We hypothesized that Duffy Ag participates in the movement of chemokines across the ...

GRO family chemokines are specialized for monocyte arrest from flow.

Chemokines participate in various processes of monocyte recruitment including monocyte arrest and migration. Our group and others have demonstrated that growth-related oncogene (GRO)-alpha (CXCL1) can support monocyte arrest in models of inflammation. Here we employed a parallel plate-flow chamber and Transwell reconstitution assay to test whether GRO family chemokines were sufficient for Mono ...

The chemokine growth-regulated oncogene-alpha promotes spinal cord oligodendrocyte precursor proliferation.

Chemokines, (chemotactic cytokines) are a family of regulatory molecules involved in modulating inflammatory responses. Here we demonstrate that the chemokine growth-regulated oncogene-alpha (GRO-alpha) is a potent promoter of oligodendrocyte precursor proliferation. The proliferative response of immature spinal cord oligodendrocyte precursors to their major mitogen, platelet derived growth fac...
