CXCR3 blockade: a novel anti-sepsis approach?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Blockade of the CXC chemokine receptor 3 (CXCR3) attenuates inflammation and improves survival in a murine model of near lethal polymicrobial sepsis. However, given the multitude of cellular responses and inflammatory mediators that orchestrate sepsis syndrome, more detailed investigations will be required before a complete understanding of the mechanism(s) of CXCR3 blockade and its therapeutic potential are revealed.

Therapeutic efficacy of CXCR3 blockade in an experimental model of severe sepsis
INTRODUCTION In our previous studies we demonstrated that CXC chemokine receptor 3 (CXCR3) participates in the regulation of lymphocyte trafficking during cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis. In this study, we evaluated the effects of treatment with anti-CXCR3 immunoglobulin (IgG) and antibiotics on outcome during septic shock caused by CLP. METHODS C57BL/6J mice were treated wit...
متن کاملA new approach to the blocking of alloreactive T cell-mediated graft-versus-host disease by in vivo administration of anti-CXCR3 neutralizing antibody.
Chemokines and chemokine receptors play critical roles in directing the migration of alloreactive donor T cells into graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) target organs. However, blockade of GVHD by antagonist Ab against chemokine receptors remains an elusive goal. Using a mouse model of human GVHD, we demonstrate that in vivo administration of anti-CXCR3 Ab for 21 days (long-term), but not for 7 days (...
متن کاملTherapeutic effect of anti-C-X-C motif chemokine 10 (CXCL10) antibody on C protein-induced myositis mouse
INTRODUCTION C-X-C motif chemokine 10 (CXCL10) is a chemokine that plays a critical role in the infiltration of T cells in autoimmune diseases and is reported to be expressed in muscle tissue of polymyositis. To determine the therapeutic efficacy of CXCL10 blockade, we investigated the role of CXCL10 and the effect of anti-CXCL10 antibody treatment in C protein-induced myositis (CIM), an animal...
متن کاملBlockade ofthe negative co-stimulatory molecules PD-1 and CTLA-4 improves survival in primary and secondary fungal sepsis
INTRODUCTION Fungal sepsis is an increasingly common problem in intensive care unit patients.Mortality from fungal sepsis remains high despite antimicrobial therapy that is highly active against most fungal pathogens, a finding consistent with defective host immunity that is present in many patients with disseminated fungemia.One recently recognized immunologic defect that occurs in patients wi...
متن کاملCombined CXCR3/CCR5 blockade attenuates acute and chronic rejection.
Chemokine-chemokine receptor interactions orchestrate mononuclear cells recruitment to the allograft, leading to acute and chronic rejection. Despite biologic redundancy, several experimental studies have demonstrated the importance of CXCR3 and CCR5 in acute rejection of allografts. In these studies, deficiency or blockade of CXCR3 or CCR5 led to prolongation of allograft survival, yet allogra...
