The role of chemokines and chemokine receptors in mycosis fungoides

Abstract:

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 was performed using Medline (Through Pub med; from 1995 to 2011), with limiting factors of “chemokine” and “mycosis fungoides”. Peer-reviewed articles were selected for inclusion after excluding identical papers. After reviewing all the articles, a total of 34 papers about the role of chemokines in mycosis fungoides were selected to review.Results: The potential role of specific chemokine receptors and their chemokines, including CXCR3, CCR4, CCR10, and CCR7 in the pathophysiology of mycosis fungoides, and the role of chemokines in the treatment and outcome of mycosis fungoides were discussed.Conclusion: Knowing more about the mechanisms of chemokines/ chemokine receptors interaction and use of receptor antagonists or anti-receptor antibodies as therapeutic agents could be a new modality for treatment of cutaneous T cell lymphoma.

The role of chemokines and chemokine receptors in diabetic nephropathy.

Diabetic nephropathy is increasingly considered as an inflammatory disease characterized by leukocyte infiltration at every stage of renal involvement. Chemokines are important participators in the recruitment of specific subpopulations of inflammatory cells into renal compartments. MCP-1/CCL2 has been identified as having a key role in monocyte/macrophage recruitment in animal models of diabet...

Chemokines and Chemokine Receptors

Chemokines (CKs) are a family of small proteins secreted by a great variety of cell types. Their name (derived from chemoattractant cytokines) is due to their ability to induce directed chemotaxis in nearby responsive cells. Some CKs are considered pro-inflammatory and can be induced during an immune response to promote cells of the immune system to a site of infection, whereas others are consi...

Cytokines, Chemokines, and Chemokine Receptors Quantitative Expressions in Patients with Ovarian Cancer

Background: Cytokines, chemokines, and chemokine receptors regulate the proliferation and survival of tumor cells, angiogenesis, and metastasis to other organs. This network of ligands and receptors has been used in molecular targeting of cancer. Methods: We compared the mRNA expression of CXCR3, CXCL-10, CXCR4, CXCL-12, IL-4, and IL-10 in tissues of benign and malignant ovarian tumors by qRT-P...
