Disease relevance of CCR4

 

High impact information on CCR4

 

Chemical compound and disease context of CCR4

  • Potential role of the chemokine receptors CXCR3, CCR4, and the integrin alphaEbeta7 in the pathogenesis of psoriasis vulgaris [8].
  • RATIONALE: The chemokine receptors CXCR3 and CCR4 have recently been described as playing a pivotal role in the mouse model of bleomycin-induced fibrosis [9].
  • CONCLUSION: The study describes a delayed hypersensitivity to suxamethonium, driven by an oligoclonal T helper cell 1-skewed CD4+ memory T cell population, expressing the skin homing receptors CLA and CCR4 [10].
  • DESIGN AND METHODS: Ten patients 45 years of age or older with hematologic malignancies received a CD34+-PBSCT and cyclosporin A (CyA) to prevent acute GVHD, followed by a planned delayed donor TCAB of 107 T-cells/kg to restore the graft-versus-tumor effect [11].
  • INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS: CD34+/ASCT using BCNU, Cy and ATG as conditioning regimen has an acceptable toxicity and clearly reduces the progression of MS [12].
 

Biological context of CCR4

  • Activation of phosphoinositide 3-kinases by the CCR4 ligand macrophage-derived chemokine is a dispensable signal for T lymphocyte chemotaxis [13].
  • These findings suggest that the different regulatory pathways in which hCAF1 is involved, notably transcription regulation and mRNA turnover, may occur through distinct CCR4 complexes in the course of cell-cycle progression [14].
  • Other chemokines acting on CCR2, CCR4 and CCR5 failed to protect against apoptosis and to induce BW5147 chemotaxis, suggesting that these receptors were not functionally expressed [15].
  • The fifth gene (CMKBR4, encoding the CC-CKR4 receptor) was located more distally (3p24) on the same chromosome, between the FB18G7 and the D3S1768 markers [16].
  • These findings suggest that CCR4+ T cells in the JRA joint may function early in disease in an anti-inflammatory capacity through the production of type 2 cytokines and may play a role in determining disease phenotype [17].
 

Anatomical context of CCR4

 

Associations of CCR4 with chemical compounds

  • The C-C chemokine receptors CCR4 and CCR8 identify airway T cells of allergen-challenged atopic asthmatics [18].
  • Inhibition of Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor-mediated calcium release from intracellular stores had no effect on chemotactic responses to CCR4 ligands [20].
  • AMD3100 did not, on its own, induce a calcium flux in the CCRF-CEM cells, which express multiple GPCRs including CXCR4, CCR4 and CCR7 [21].
  • In the intestinal samples, CCR5 was detected in all the cases with BD, whereas Th2-related CCR3 and CCR4 were detected randomly, mainly in the cases with inactive BD and those receiving large amounts of prednisolone, indicating the Th1-dominant immune responses in the intestinal lesions [22].
  • These results suggest that recruitment of IL-4-producing CCR4(+) CD4(+) T cells by granuloma-derived TARC into the liver parenchyma may be a key cause of massive liver injury after systemic LPS administration [23].
 

Physical interactions of CCR4

  • BTG2 antiproliferative protein interacts with the human CCR4 complex existing in vivo in three cell-cycle-regulated forms [14].
  • TARC interacts primarily with the CCR4 receptor and to a lesser extent with the CCR8 receptor [24].
  • The chemokine receptor CCR4 binds MDC with high affinity and also responds by calcium flux and chemotaxis [25].
 

Regulatory relationships of CCR4

 

Other interactions of CCR4

  • In contrast, CCR3 and CCR4 were found on Th2s [31].
  • There is also evidence for expression of chemokine receptors CCR4 and CXCR4 in platelets [19].
  • K562 cells stably expressing CCR4 also responded to TARC in a calcium mobilization assay [27].
  • Also, CCR4 is internalized between 5 and 45 min but reappears in the membranes after 60 min of stimulation with MDC [32].
  • Release of both CCR4-active and CXCR3-active chemokines during human allergic pulmonary late-phase reactions [33].
