Chemokines in the vascular inflammatory response of atherosclerosis.
Atherosclerosis is considered to be a chronic inflammatory disease of the vessel wall that encompasses the accumulation of lipids, and it is critically shaped by the recruitment of leucocytes during all phases of the disease. In addition, the progression of atherosclerosis is determined by a disturbed equilibrium of immune responses. Chemokines and their receptors are instrumental in orchestrat...
متن کاملImplications of chemokines, chemokine receptors, and inflammatory lipids in atherosclerosis.
Chemokines are a diverse group of molecules with important implications for the development of solid tissues and normal function of the immune system. However, change of the conditions for such a complex system can have important and dangerous consequences leading to diseases. The specific implications of the various chemokines in diseases have been elucidated in the last few years, prompting h...
متن کاملChemokines in atherosclerosis: proceedings resumed.
Chemokines play important roles in atherosclerotic vascular disease. Expressed by not only cells of the vessel wall but also emigrated leukocytes, chemokines were initially discovered to direct leukocytes to sites of inflammation. However, chemokines can also exert multiple functions beyond cell recruitment. Here, we discuss novel and recently emerging aspects of chemokines and their involvemen...
متن کاملPlatelet-derived chemokines in atherosclerosis.
In atherosclerosis, activated platelets have been recently recognised not only to participate in thrombotic events but also to play an essential role in the development of atherosclerotic lesions. Upon their activation, platelets release several pro-inflammatory mediators including chemokines. Chemokines are key molecules in inflammation as they are able to recruit leukocytes, modulate their ac...
متن کاملChemokines in inflammatory bowel disease.
C hemokines (chemotactic cytokines) are small (7–10 kDa) heparin binding proteins that govern the migration of circulating leucocytes to the sites of inflammation. Chemokines, currently numbering more than 50, are classified into four supergene families based on cysteine residues: CXC, CC, C, and CX3C chemokines (table 1). Chemokines are distinguished from other cytokines by acting on the G pro...
