The Journal of Immunology Variations in Eosinophil Chemokine Responses: An Investigation of CCR1 and CCR3 Function, Expression in Atopy, and Identification of a Functional CCR1 Promoter1 Rhian M. Phillips,2* Victoria E. L. Stubbs,2* Mandy R. Henson,† Timothy J. Williams,* James E. Pease,3,4* and Ian Sabroe4*† We previously showed in a small group of donors that eosinophils from a subgroup of individuals responded equipotently to CC chemokine ligand (CCL)11/eotaxin and CCL3/macrophage-inflammatory protein-1␣ in assays of eosinophil shape change (CCL3/ macrophage-inflammatory protein-1␣-highly responsive (MHR) donors). In this study, we investigated the functional role of CCL3 in eosinophil responses in 73 donors. MHR donors, identified by their eosinophil shape change responses, represented ϳ19% of the donor pool. Eosinophils from these donors showed increased eosinophil CCR1 expression and also underwent CCL3-mediated chemotaxis and up-regulation of CD11b. All MHR donors gave a history of atopy-associated diseases. In a further Downloaded from study, we prospectively recruited 110 subjects, subdivided into nonatopics or atopics, and investigated expression of CCR1 and CCR3 on eosinophils, basophils, monocytes, and neutrophils. Eosinophil CCR1 expression was non-normally distributed in atop- ics, although higher CCR1 expression levels were not predictive of a diagnosis of atopy or atopic disease. We identified the CCR1 promoter and investigated its function. We found a minimal promoter within 177 bp of the transcription start site, and an upstream enhancer region that facilitated expression in leukocyte cell lines. Collectively, these data demonstrate that MHR http://www.jimmunol.org/ individuals form an important subgroup that, when associated with a diagnosis of allergic disease, may require tailored therapy to modulate eosinophil recruitment. Identification of a functional CCR1 promoter will facilitate the study of possible genetic determinants underlying this potentially important clinical phenotype.

Nutt 1,2, Axel Kallies1,2,4 and Andrew M. Lew1,2,4 A wide array of chemokine receptors, including CCR2, are known to control Treg migration. Here, we report that CCR2 regulates Tregs beyond chemotaxis. We found that CCR2 deficiency reduced CD25 expression by FoxP3+ Treg cells. Such a change was also consistently present in irradiation chimeras reconstituted with mixed bone marrow from wild-type (WT) and CCR2−/− strains. Thus, CCR2 deficiency resulted in profound loss of CD25hi FoxP3+ Tregs in secondary lymphoid organs as well as in peripheral tissues. CCR2−/− Treg cells were also functionally inferior to WT cells. Interestingly, these changes to Treg cells did not depend on CCR2+ monocytes/moDCs (the cells where CCR2 receptors are most abundant). Rather, we demonstrated that CCR2 was required for TLR- stimulated, but not TCR- or IL-2-stimulated, CD25 upregulation on Treg cells. Thus, we propose that CCR2 signaling can increase the fitness of FoxP3+ Treg cells and provide negative feedback to counter the proinflammatory effects of CCR2 on myeloid cells.

However, generation of tumor-specific effector T cells does not necessarily result in tumor clearance. CTL must firstbeabletomigratetothetumorsite,infiltrate the tumor tissue, and interact with the target to finally trigger effector functions indispensable for tumor destruction. Chemokines are involved in circulation, homing, retention, and activation of immunocompetent cells. Although some of them are known to contribute to tumor growth and metastasis, others are responsible for changes in the tumor microenvironment that lead to extensive infiltration of lymphocytes, resulting in tumor eradication. Given their chemoattractive and activating properties, a role for chemokines in the development of the effector phase of the antitumor immune response has been suggested. Here, we emphasize the role of the chemokine–chemokine receptor network at multiple levels of the T-cell–mediated antitumor immune response. The identification of chemokine-dependent molecular mechanisms implicated in tumor-specific CTL trafficking, retention, and regulation of their in situ effector functions may offer new perspectives for development of innovative immunotherapeutic approaches to cancer treatment.

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.

Objective. To characterize cytokine and chemokine receptor profiles of T cells and monocytes in inflamed synovium and peripheral blood (PB) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other arthritides. Methods. We studied PB and synovial fluid (SF) samples taken from 20 patients with RA and 9 patients with other arthritides. PB cells from 8 healthy adults were used as controls. CCR3, CCR5, and intracellular interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and interleukin 4 (IL-4) expression in CD8+ and CD8– T cell populations and in CD14+ cells were determined with flow cytometry. Results. Expression of CCR5 and CCR3 by CD8–, CD8+ T cells and CD14+ monocytes was increased in SF compared to PB cells in patients with RA and other arthritides. The number of CD8+ T cells spontaneously expressing IL-4 and IFN-γ was higher in SF than in PB in RA patients. Spontaneous CCR5 expression was associated with intracellular IFN-γ expression in CD8+ T cells derived from SF in RA. In CD8– T cells the ratio of CCR5+/CCR3+ cells was increased in patients with RA compared to patients with other arthritides. The number of PB CD8– T cells expressing IFN-γ after mitogen stimulation was higher in controls than in patients. In PB monocytes the ratio of CCR5+/CCR3+ cells was increased in patients with RA compared to patients with other arthri- tides and controls.

China Received September 5, 2020; Accepted December 4, 2020 DOI: 10.3892/or.2020.7906 Abstract. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a prevalent 1. Introduction malignant tumor worldwide, with an unsatisfactory prognosis, although treatments are improving. One of the main challenges Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the sixth most common for the treatment of HCC is the prevention or management type of cancer worldwide and the third leading cause of of recurrence and metastasis of HCC. It has been found that cancer-associated death (1). Most patients cannot undergo chemokines and their receptors serve a pivotal role in HCC radical surgery due to the presence of intrahepatic or distant progression. In the present review, the literature on the multi- organ metastases, and at present, the primary treatment methods factorial roles of exosomes in HCC from PubMed, Cochrane for HCC include surgery, local ablation therapy and radiation library and Embase were obtained, with a specific focus on intervention (2). These methods allow for effective treatment the functions and mechanisms of chemokines in HCC. To and management of patients with HCC during the early stages, date, >50 chemokines have been found, which can be divided with 5-year survival rates as high as 70% (3). Despite the into four families: CXC, CX3C, CC and XC, according to the continuous development of traditional treatment methods, the different positions of the conserved N-terminal cysteine resi- issue of recurrence and metastasis of HCC, causing adverse dues.
