In patients with acute lung injury from ARDS, resident lung cells such as macrophages secrete chemokines that induce neutrophils or polymorphonuclear cells (PMN) to migrate from the bloodstream into the airspaces. Classically, neutrophil migration has been thought to be driven by CXC chemokines, with CXCL8 being the protypical neutrophil chemokine, inducing migration by acting on its receptors, mainly CXCR1 in humans. Chambers et al have demonstrated that two members of the CC family of chemokines, CCL2 and CCL7, are upregulated in the lungs of patients with ARDS. Their receptor, CCR2, is upregulated on neutrophils as they migrate from the vasculature into the airspaces, while CXCR1 is downregulated. Moreover, these CC chemokines act in synergy with CXCL8 to induce neutrophil influx. As neutrophils migrate into the lungs, they become activated, releasing toxic mediators such as reactive oxygen species (ROS), proteases and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), which function to kill invading pathogens but also may cause epithelial and endothelial injury, leading to the development of protein-rich alveolar oedema.

They produce soluble factors that can act in an autocrine or paracrine manner on immune cells or directly on aggressors. A screen- ing of the activities of 36 cytokines on keratinocyte gene expression identified IL-17A, IL-22, oncostatin M, TNF-a, and IL-1a as potent cytokines in inducing cutaneous inflammation. These five proinflammatory cytokines synergistically increased production of CXCL8 and b-defensin 2 (BD2). In addition, ex vivo studies on human skin explants demonstrated upregulation of BD2, S100A7, and CXCL8 expression in response to the same combination of cytokines. In vivo intradermal injection of these five cytokines in mouse increased CXCL1, CXCL2, CXCL3, S100A9, and BD3 expression, associated with neutrophil infiltration. We confirmed and extended this synergistic effect using quantitative real-time PCR analysis and observed increased expression of nine chemokines and 12 antimicrobial peptides. Production of CXCL, CXCL5, and CXCL8 by keratinocytes stimulated in the presence of this cytokine combination was associated with increased neutrophil chemotactic activity. Similarly, high production of BD2, BD3, and S100A7 was associated with an increased antimicrobial activity. Finally, the transcriptional profile observed in this in vitro model of inflammatory keratinocytes correlated with the one of lesional psoriatic skin.

But the signals that cause micro- metastatic cells to remain indolent, thereby enabling them to survive for extended periods of time, are unclear. Immunofluorescence and co-immunoprecipitation assays were used to explore the co-localization of CCL7 and CCR2. Immunohistochemical (IHC) assays were employed to detect the characters of metastatic HT29 cells in mice liver. Flow cytometry assays were performed to detect the immune cells. Bruberin vivo MS FX Pro Imager was used to observe the liver metastasis of CRC in mice. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and western blot were employed to detect the expressions of related proteins. Trace RNA sequencing was employed to identify differentially expressed genes in MDSCs from liver micro-M and macro-M of CRC in mice. Here, we firstly constructed the vitro dormant cell models and metastatic dormant animal models of colorectal cancer. Then we found that myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) were increased significantly from liver micro-metastases to macro-metastases of CRC in mice. Moreover, monocytic MDSCs (Mo-MDSC) significantly promoted the dormant activation of micro-metastatic cells compared to 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; polymorphonuclear MDSCs (PMN-MDSC).

REED * 1Department of Medicine, Harborview Medical Center, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 2Veterans Affairs Puget Sound Health Care System, Seattle Washington There is increased interest in the effects of secretory products from aged cells on promoting both benign and malignant cell growth. We identified a human fibroblast line, AG04382, from an aged donor that naturally demonstrated senescence-associated features and whose conditioned media significantly induced proliferation of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH1) cells. Candidate cytokines mediating this effect were identified with protein arrays and validated by ELISA. We found that the AG04382 fibroblast line secreted high levels of CXCL5, CCL5, and CCL2, but relative to the other lines, its conditioned media was unique in its increased expression of CCL5. Blocking studies using specific antibodies against CXCL5, CCL5, and CCL2 in the conditioned media of AG04382 showed that only CCL5 contributed significantly to BPH1 proliferation. Stimulation of BPH1 cells with rhuCCL5 resulted in increased proliferation and migration, as well as significant changes in the expression of genes that influence angiogenesis. These data suggest that CCL5 is a candidate chemokine secreted by aged cells that promotes prostate growth and regulates angiogenesis. J. Cell. Physiol. 9999: 1–6, 2009. ß 2009 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Luster Center for Immunology & Inflammatory Diseases, Division of Rheumatology, Allergy and Immunology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02114 Correspondence: [email protected] Chemokines are chemotactic cytokines that control the migration and positioning of immune cells in tissues and are critical for the function of the innate immune system. Chemokines control the release of innate immune cells from the bone marrow during homeostasis as well as in response to infection and inflammation. Theyalso recruit innate immune effectors out of the circulation and into the tissue where, in collaboration with other chemoattractants, they guide these cells to the very sites of tissue injury. Chemokine function is also critical for the positioning of innate immune sentinels in peripheral tissue and then, following innate immune activation, guiding these activated cells to the draining lymph node to initiate and imprint an adaptive immune response. In this review, we will highlight recent advances in understanding how chemokine function regulates the movement and positioning of innate immune cells at homeostasis and in response to acute inflammation, and then we will review how chemokine-mediated innate immune cell trafficking plays an essential role in linking the innate and adaptive immune responses. hemokines are chemotactic cytokines that with emphasis placed on its role in the innate Ccontrol cell migration and cell positioning immune system. throughout development, homeostasis, and in- flammation.

  • CXCL5 Signaling Is a Shared Pathway of Neuroinflammation and Blood
    Wang et al. Journal of Neuroinflammation (2016) 13:6 DOI 10.1186/s12974-015-0474-6 RESEARCH Open Access CXCL5 signaling is a shared pathway of neuroinflammation and blood–brain barrier injury contributing to white matter injury in the immature brain Lin-Yu Wang1,2, Yi-Fang Tu3,4, Yung-Chieh Lin3,4 and Chao-Ching Huang3,5,6* Abstract Background: In very preterm infants, white matter injury is a prominent brain injury, and hypoxic ischemia (HI) and infection are the two primary pathogenic factors of this injury. Microglia and microvascular endothelial cells closely interact; therefore, a common signaling pathway may cause neuroinflammation and blood–brain barrier (BBB) damage after injury to the immature brain. CXC chemokine ligand 5 (CXCL5) is produced in inflammatory and endothelial cells by various organs in response to insults. CXCL5 levels markedly increased in the amniotic cavity in response to intrauterine infection and preterm birth in clinical studies. The objective of this study is to determine whether CXCL5 signaling is a shared pathway of neuroinflammation and BBB injury that contributes to white matter injury in the immature brain. Methods: Postpartum day 2 (P2) rat pups received lipopolysaccharide (LPS) followed by 90-min HI. Immunohistochemical analyses were performed to determine microglial activation, neutrophil infiltration, BBB damage, and myelin basic protein and glial fibrillary acidic protein expression. Immunofluorescence experiments were performed to determine the cellular distribution of CXCL5. Pharmacological tests were performed to inhibit or enhance CXCL5 activity. Results: On P2, predominant increases in microglial activation and BBB damage were observed 24 h after LPS-sensitized HI induction, and white matter injury (decreasedmyelinationandincreasedastrogliosis) was observed on P12 compared with controls.

  • The CXCL5/CXCR2 Axis Is Sufficient to Promote Breast Cancer Colonization During Bone Metastasis
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-12108-6 OPEN The CXCL5/CXCR2 axis is sufficient to promote breast cancer colonization during bone metastasis Ricardo Romero-Moreno1,2, Kimberly J. Curtis1,3, Thomas R. Coughlin1,3, Maria Cristina Miranda-Vergara1,2, Shourik Dutta1,2, Aishwarya Natarajan1,2, Beth A. Facchine1,2, Kristen M. Jackson1,3, Lukas Nystrom5,6, Jun Li1,4, William Kaliney1, Glen L. Niebur 1,3 & Laurie E. Littlepage 1,2 Bone is one of the most common sites for metastasis across cancers. Cancer cells that travel 1234567890():,; through the vasculature and invade new tissues can remain in a non-proliferative dormant state for years before colonizing the metastatic site. Switching from dormancy to colonization is the rate-limiting step of bone metastasis. Here we develop an ex vivo co-culture method to grow cancer cells in mouse bones to assess cancer cell proliferation using healthy or cancer- primed bones. Profiling soluble factors from conditioned media identifies the chemokine CXCL5 as a candidate to induce metastatic colonization. Additional studies using CXCL5 recombinant protein suggest that CXCL5 is sufficient to promote breast cancer cell pro- liferation and colonization in bone, while inhibition of its receptor CXCR2 with an antagonist blocks proliferation of metastatic cancer cells. This study suggests that CXCL5 and CXCR2 inhibitors may have efficacy in treating metastatic bone tumors dependent on the CXCL5/ CXCR2 axis. 1 Harper Cancer Research Institute, South Bend, IN, USA. 2 Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, IN, USA. 3 Tissue Mechanics Laboratory, Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering, Bioengineering Graduate Program, University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, IN, USA.

  • Targeting Tumor Cell-Derived CCL2 As a Strategy to Overcome Bevacizumab Resistance in ETV5+ Colorectal Cancer
    Feng et al. Cell Death and Disease (2020) 11:916 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41419-020-03111-7 Cell Death & Disease ARTICLE Open Access Targeting tumor cell-derived CCL2 as a strategy to overcome Bevacizumab resistance in ETV5+ colorectal cancer Haoran Feng1,2,KunLiu1,3,XiaonanShen4,JuyongLiang1,2, Changgang Wang1,3,WeihuaQiu1,3,2,XiCheng 1,3,2 and Ren Zhao1,3,2 Abstract In our previous study, ETV5 mediated-angiogenesis was demonstrated to be dependent upon the PDGF-BB/PDGFR-β/ Src/STAT3/VEGFA pathway in colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the ability of ETV5 to affect the efficacy of anti- angiogenic therapy in CRC requires further investigation. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and a series of experiments were performed to identify the critical candidate gene involved in Bevacizumab resistance. Furthermore, the ability of treatment targeting the candidate gene to enhance Bevacizumab sensitivity in vitro and in vivo was investigated. Our results revealed that ETV5 directly bound to the VEGFA promoter to promote translation of VEGFA. However, according to in vitro and in vivo experiments, ETV5 unexpectedly accelerated antiVEGF therapy (Bevacizumab) resistance. GSEA and additional assays confirmed that ETV5 could promote angiogenesis by inducing the secretion of another tumor angiogenesis factor (CCL2) in CRC cells to facilitate Bevacizumab resistance. Mechanistically, ETV5 upregulated CCL2 by activating STAT3 to facilitate binding with the CCL2 promoter. ETV5 induced-VEGFA translation and CCL2 secretion were mutually independent mechanisms, that induced angiogenesis 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; by activating the PI3K/AKT and p38/MAPK signaling pathways in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). In CRC tissues, ETV5 protein levels were positively associated with CD31, CCL2, and VEGFA protein expression.
