It was previously found overexpressed in lesional samples from adult asthmatics. Objective: This study is aimed to investigate the participation of CCR4/MDC axis in the development of TH2-dominated allergen-induced From the Departments childhood asthma in relation to disease activity, attack severity, and of Pediatrics and response to therapy, and to outline its value in differentiating atopic asthma Clinical Pathology*, from infection-associated airway reactivity. Faculty of Medicine, Methods: Proportion of CCR4-expressing peripheral blood T lymphocytes Ain Shams University, + (CCR4 PBTL%) were purified and quantitated by negative selection from Cairo, Egypt. peripheral blood mononuclear cells by flow cytometry, and the concentration of MDC in plasma was measured by ELISA in 32 children with atopic asthma (during exacerbation and remission), as well as in 12 children with acute lower respiratory tract infections (ALRTI), and 20 healthy children serving as controls. Results: The mean plasma MDC level (925±471.5 pg/ml) and CCR4+PBTL% (55.3±23.6%) were significantly higher in asthmatic children during acute attacks in comparison to children with ALRTI (109±27.3 pg/ml and 27.6±7.5%) and healthy controls (99.6±25.6 pg/ml and 24.2±4.1%). Both values decreased significantly after subsidence of attacks (502±284.3 pg/ml and 32.5±10.5%) although remained higher than the other 2 groups which were actually comparable in terms of MDC and CCR4%. MDC and CCR4% values were higher among children with acute severe than mild or moderate asthma exacerbations, and in persistent than intermittent cases during stability. Positive correlations could be elicited between both markers during exacerbation or stability, and between the exacerbation level of each and its corresponding value during remission. Corticosteroid- treated patients had the highest expression of both markers when relation to therapy was studied. Conclusion: Our findings reinforce the concept that up regulation of CCR4/MDC axis is implicated in the pathogenesis of pediatric atopic Correspondence: asthma and may represent a useful biomarker of monitoring allergic Mohamed Hesham inflammation and response to therapy. Neutralization and manipulation of Ezzat CCR4-expressing T cells, as well as MDC antagonism, may represent an 25 El-Sebak Street adjuvant in the treatment of severe allergic disorders.

Journal of Neuroinflammation 2013, 10:56 JOURNAL OF http://www.jneuroinflammation.com/content/10/1/56 NEUROINFLAMMATION RESEARCH Open Access Differential expression of interferon-γ and chemokine genes distinguishes Rasmussen encephalitis from cortical dysplasia and provides evidence for an early Th1 immune response Geoffrey C Owens1,7*, My N Huynh1, Julia W Chang1, David L McArthur1, Michelle J Hickey2, Harry V Vinters2,3, Gary W Mathern1,4,5,6† and Carol A Kruse1,6† Abstract Background: Rasmussen encephalitis (RE) is a rare complex inflammatory disease, primarily seen in young children, that is characterized by severe partial seizures and brain atrophy. Surgery is currently the only effective treatment option. To identify genes specifically associated with the immunopathology in RE, RNA transcripts of genes involved in inflammation and autoimmunity were measured in brain tissue from RE surgeries and compared with those in surgical specimens of cortical dysplasia (CD), a major cause of intractable pediatric epilepsy. Methods: Quantitative polymerase chain reactions measured the relative expression of 84 genes related to inflammation and autoimmunity in 12 RE specimens and in the reference group of 12 CD surgical specimens. Data were analyzed by consensus clustering using the entire dataset, and by pairwise comparison of gene expression levels between the RE and CD cohorts using the Harrell-Davis distribution-free quantile estimator method.

Lira, and Rob Leurs Copyright Ó 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim ISBN: 978-3-527-32118-6 j3 1 Structural Aspects of Chemokines and their Interactions with Receptors and Glycosaminoglycans Amanda E. I. Proudfoot, India Severin, Damon Hamel, and Tracy M. Handel 1.1 Introduction Chemokines are a large subfamily of cytokines (50 in humans) that can be distinguished from other cytokines due to several features. They share a common biological activity, which is the control of the directional migration of leukocytes, hence their name, chemoattractant cytokines. They are all small proteins (approx. 8 kDa) that are highly basic, with two exceptions (MIP-1a, MIP-1b). Also, they have a highly conserved monomeric fold, constrained by 1–3 disulfides which are formed from a conserved pattern of cysteine residues (the majority of chemokines have four cysteines). The pattern of cysteine residues is used as the basis of their division into subclasses and for their nomenclature. The first class, referred to as CXC or a-chemokines, have a single residue between the first N-terminal Cys residues, whereas in the CC class, or b-chemokines, these two Cys residues are adjacent. While most chemokines have two disulfides, the CC subclass also has three members that contain three. Subsequent to the CC and CXC families, two fi additional subclasses were identi ed, the CX3C subclass [1, 2], which has three amino acids separating the N-terminal Cys pair, and the C subclass, which has a single disulfide.

  • The Efficacy of Etanercept As Anti-Breast Cancer Treatment Is
    Shirmohammadi et al. BMC Cancer (2020) 20:836 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12885-020-07228-y RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access The efficacy of etanercept as anti-breast cancer treatment is attenuated by residing macrophages Elnaz Shirmohammadi1, Seyed-Esmaeil Sadat Ebrahimi1, Amir Farshchi2 and Mona Salimi3* Abstract Background: Interaction between microenvironment and breast cancer cells often is not considered at the early stages of drug development leading to failure of many drugs at later clinical stages. Etanercept is a TNF-alpha inhibitor that has been investigated for potential antitumor effect in breast cancer with conflicting results. Methods: Secretome data on MDA-MB-231 cancer cell-line were from public repositories and subjected to gene enrichment analyses. Since MDA-MB-231 cells secrete high levels of Granulocyte-Monocyte Colony Stimulating Factor, which activates macrophages to promote tumor growth, the effect of macrophage co-culturing on anticancer efficacy of Etanercept in breast cancer was evaluated using the Boolean network modeling and in vitro experiments including invasion, cell cycle, Annexin PI, and tetrazolium based viability assays and NFKB activity. Results: The secretome profile of MDA-MB-231 cells was similar to the expression of genes following treatment of breast cancer cells with TNF-α. Accordingly, inhibition of TNF-α by Etanercept decreased MDA-MB-231 cell survival, induced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in vitro and inhibited NFKB activation. The inhibitory effect of Etanercept on cell viability, cell cycle progression, invasion and induction of apoptosis decreased following co-culturing of the cancer cells with macrophages. The Boolean network modeling of the changes in the dynamics of intracellular signaling pathways revealed NFKB activation by secretome of macrophages, leading to a decreased efficacy of Etanercept, suggesting NFKB inhibition as an alternative approach to inhibit cancer cell growth in the presence of macrophage crosstalk.

  • High Expression of the Chemokine Receptor CCR3 in Human Blood Basophils
    High expression of the chemokine receptor CCR3 in human blood basophils. Role in activation by eotaxin, MCP-4, and other chemokines. M Uguccioni, … , M Baggiolini, C A Dahinden J Clin Invest. 1997;100(5):1137-1143. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI119624. Research Article Eosinophil leukocytes express high numbers of the chemokine receptor CCR3 which binds eotaxin, monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP)-4, and some other CC chemokines. In this paper we show that CCR3 is also highly expressed on human blood basophils, as indicated by Northern blotting and flow cytometry, and mediates mainly chemotaxis. Eotaxin and MCP-4 elicited basophil migration in vitro with similar efficacy as regulated upon activation normal T cells expressed and secreted (RANTES) and MCP-3. They also induced the release of histamine and leukotrienes in IL-3- primed basophils, but their efficacy was lower than that of MCP-1 and MCP-3, which were the most potent stimuli of exocytosis. Pretreatment of the basophils with a CCR3-blocking antibody abrogated the migration induced by eotaxin, RANTES, and by low to optimal concentrations of MCP-4, but decreased only minimally the response to MCP-3. The CCR3-blocking antibody also affected exocytosis: it abrogated histamine and leukotriene release induced by eotaxin, and partially inhibited the response to RANTES and MCP-4. In contrast, the antibody did not affect the responses induced by MCP-1, MCP-3, and macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha, which may depend on CCR1 and CCR2, two additional receptors detected by Northern blotting with basophil RNA. This study demonstrates that CCR3 is the major receptor for eotaxin, RANTES, and MCP-4 in human basophils, and suggests that basophils and eosinophils, which are the characteristic […] Find the latest version: https://jci.me/119624/pdf High Expression of the Chemokine Receptor CCR3 in Human Blood Basophils Role in Activation by Eotaxin, MCP-4, and Other Chemokines Mariagrazia Uguccioni,* Charles R.
