Abstract

CC chemokines are small inducible proteins that are related to interleukin 8. Recent studies have shown that several CC chemokines, MCP-1, MCP-3, RANTES and MIP-1 α, act on basophils and/or eosinophils via GTP-binding protein-coupled receptors. Marco Baggiolini and Clemens Dahinden discuss the involvement of CC chemokines in the recruitment and activation of the main effector cells of allergic inflammation.

CC chemokine 1 protein from Cromileptes altivelis (CaCC1) promotes antimicrobial immune defense
2022, Fish and Shellfish Immunology
Citation Excerpt :
Thus, the first two cysteine residues are separated by three amino acids in CX3C chemokines, one amino acid in CXC chemokines, and zero amino acids in CC chemokines (in C chemokines, the second cysteine is absent) [7–10]. CXC and CC are considered the two major groups of chemokine [11,12]. The largest subfamily of chemokines is the CC subfamily, and 28 CC members have been found in mammals [7].
Chemokines are a family of small signaling proteins that are secreted by various cells. In addition to their roles in immune surveillance, localization of antigen, and lymphocyte trafficking for the maintenance of homeostasis, chemokines also function in induce immune cell migration under pathological conditions. In the present study, a novel CC chemokine gene (CaCC1) from humpback grouper (Cromileptes altivelis) was cloned and characterized. CaCC1 comprised a 435 bp open reading frame encoding 144 amino acid residues. The putative molecular weight of CaCC1 protein was 15 kDa CaCC1 contains four characteristic cysteines that are conserved in other known CC chemokines. CaCC1 also shares 11.64%–90.28% identity with other teleost and mammal CC chemokines. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that CaCC1 is most closely related to Epinephelus coioides EcCC1, both of which are in a fish-specific CC chemokine clade. CaCC1 was constitutively expressed in all examined C. altivelis tissues, with high expression levels in skin, heart, liver, and intestine. Vibrio harveyi stimulation up-regulated CaCC1 expression levels in liver, spleen, and head-kidney. Functional analyses revealed that the recombinant protein (rCaCC1) could induce the migration of head-kidney lymphocytes from C. altivelis. Moreover, rCaCC1 significantly enhanced phagocytosis in head-kidney macrophages from C. altivelis. In addition, rCaCC1 exhibited antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus, Edwardsiella tarda, and V. harveyi. In vivo, CaCC1 overexpression improved bacterial clearance in V. harveyi infected fish. Conversely, CaCC1 knockdown resulted in a significant decrease of bacterial clearance. These results demonstrate the important roles that CaCC1 plays in homeostasis and in inflammatory response to bacterial infection.
Proteases are cut out to regulate acute and chronic inflammation
2021, Proteolytic Signaling in Health and Disease
Proteases are essential enzymes involved in multiple biological processes, including the regulation of inflammation. They have been shown to modify cytokine and chemokine activity to initiate and terminate proinflammatory or antiinflammatory responses. The dichotomy in the biological roles that proteases exert is essential to drive acute inflammation toward the resolution phase to later return to homeostasis. However, when left unchecked, proteases can also promote inflammatory diseases. In acute inflammatory diseases, such as sepsis, proteases play key roles in the coagulation cascade, leading to a hypercoagulable state and cytokine storms. In chronic inflammatory diseases, such as Crohn’s disease, proteases can regulate leukocyte recruitment, tissue damage, and impact resistance to certain treatments. Importantly, proteases play both protective and detrimental roles in inflammatory diseases. Therefore, a better characterization of their roles in inflammation could result in new drug targets’ identification and more effective treatment plans for patients.
A worm gel-based 3D model to elucidate the paracrine interaction between multiple myeloma and mesenchymal stem cells
2020, Materials Today Bio
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignancy of terminally-differentiated plasma cells that develops mainly inside the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment. It is well known that autocrine and paracrine signals are responsible for the progression of this disease but the precise mechanism and contributions from single cell remain largely unknown. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are an important cellular component of the BM: they support MM growth by increasing its survival and chemo-resistance, but little is known about the paracrine signaling pathways. Three-dimensional (3D) models of MM-MSC paracrine interactions are much more biologically-relevant than simple 2D models and are considered essential for detailed studies of MM pathogenesis.
Herein we present a novel 3D co-culture model designed to mimic the paracrine interaction between MSC and MM cells. MSC were embedded within a previously characterized thermoresponsive block copolymer worm gel that can induce stasis in human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC) and then co-cultured with MM cells. Transcriptional phenotyping of co-cultured cells indicated the dysregulation of genes that code for known disease-relevant factors, and also revealed IL-6 and IL-10 as upstream regulators. Importantly, we have identified a synergistic paracrine signaling pathway between IL-6 and IL-10 that plays a critical role in sustaining MM cell proliferation.
Our findings indicate that this 3D co-culture system is a useful model to investigate the paracrine interaction between MM cells and the BM microenvironment in vitro. This approach has revealed a new mechanism that promotes the proliferation of MM cells and suggested a new therapeutic target.
Role of chemokines in Parkinson's disease
2019, Brain Research Bulletin
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic progressive neurodegenerative disorder with an increasing incidence year by year, particularly as the population ages. The most common neuropathologic manifestation in patients with Parkinson’s disease is dopamine neurons degeneration and loss in substantia nigra of middle brain. The main neurochemistry problem is the lack of the neurotransmitter dopamine. Clinically, PD patients may also have higher levels of glutamate, gamma-aminobutyric acid, acetylcholine and other neurotransmitters. At present, many data have shown that some chemokines are involved in regulating the release and transmission of neurotransmitters, and the growth and development of related neurons. In recent years, most of the studies relative to PD is based on immune and inflammatory mechanisms, and chemokines is also the focus on this mechanism. Chemokines are a class of cytokines that have definite chemotaxis effects on the different target cells. They might be involved in the pathogenesis of PD by inducing neuronal apoptosis and microglia activation. Clinical data has shown that the levels of chemokines in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid of PD patients have corresponding changes compared with the healthy persons. This review summarizes recent studies on chemokines and their receptors in Parkinson's disease: (i) to explore the role of chemokines in Parkinson's disease; (ii) to provide new indicators for clinical diagnosis of PD; (iii) to provide new targets for drug research and development in the treatment of Parkinson's disease.
Histopathological analysis and the immune related gene expression profiles of mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi) infected with Aeromonas hydrophila
2018, Fish and Shellfish Immunology
Hemorrhagic septicemia of mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi) was mainly caused by Aeromonas hydrophila which was an opportunistic pathogen. In recent years, the disease has caused tremendous economic loss with high morbidity and mass mortality in the mandarin fish breeding industry. Histopathological analysis and the immune related gene expression profiles of mandarin fish (S. chuatsi) infected with A. hydrophila were investigated in this study. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images showed that the cells of A. hydrophila densely covered with a mass of fimbriae. Histopathological analysis revealed that inflammation, vacuolization and extensive necrosis existed in the gill, liver, spleen and head kidney of the diseased fish. Quantitative real-time PCR was performed to measure mRNA expression levels for six immune related genes in mandarin fish after A. hydrophila infection. The transcriptional analysis of these immune related genes demonstrated that the expression levels of major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC II), T cell receptor α (TCRα), tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα), CC chemokine 3, interleukin 8 (IL-8) and Hepcidin were strongly up-regulated in spleen and head kidney of mandarin fish post-infection. These results will contribute to further study on the pathogenesis and host defensive system in A. hydrophila infection.
