Disease relevance of CCR3

  • Our results suggest that both CCR3 and CCR5 promote efficient infection of the CNS by HIV-1 [1].
  • Functional expression of the eotaxin receptor CCR3 in CD30+ cutaneous T-cell lymphoma [2].
  • These findings suggest that multiple C-C chemokines, acting at least in part via CCR3, contribute to bronchial eosinophilia in both atopic and nonatopic asthma [3].
  • Suppression of IL-8/CXCL8 was abrogated in the presence of anti-CCR3 mAb, pertussis toxin, and wortmannin, indicating it was mediated by the CCR3 receptor, G(i) proteins, and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signaling [4].
  • We postulate that expression of CCR3 may underlie situations where both DCs and eosinophils accumulate in vivo, such as the lesions of patients with Langerhans cell granulomatosis [5].
 

Psychiatry related information on CCR3

  • Immunohistochemical study of the beta-chemokine receptors CCR3 and CCR5 and their ligands in normal and Alzheimer's disease brains [6].
 

High impact information on CCR3

  • The beta-chemokine receptors CCR3 and CCR5 facilitate infection by primary HIV-1 isolates [7].
  • CCR3 facilitated infection by a more restricted subset of primary viruses, and binding of the CCR3 ligand, eotaxin, inhibited infection by these isolates [7].
  • CCR3 and CCR5 are co-receptors for HIV-1 infection of microglia [1].
  • By contrast, the majority of the isolates derived after the progression of the disease were resistant to C-C chemokines, having acquired the ability to use CXCR4 and, in some cases, CCR3, while gradually losing CCR5 usage [8].
  • Other receptors with a more restricted cellular distribution, such as CCR2b, CCR3 and STRL33, can also function as co-receptors for selected viral isolates [8].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of CCR3

 

Biological context of CCR3

  • Pretreatment of eosinophils with this mAb blocked chemotaxis and calcium flux induced by all CCR3 ligands [13].
  • The Th2-associated chemoattractant receptors CRTh2 and CCR3 were up-regulated with slower kinetics compared to the Th1-associated receptors CXCR3 and CXCR6, consistent with a different kinetics and efficiency of polarization [14].
  • Heparin inhibited intracellular calcium flux, respiratory burst and chemotactic responses of eosinophils to CCL11, but not to the chemoattractant C5a, and inhibited binding of CCL11 to CCR3 [15].
  • In receptor-binding assays, MIP-5 shows IC50 values of 12 nM for competition with 125I-MIP-1alpha for binding to CC-chemokine receptor (CCR)1, and 2.5 nM for competition with 125I-MCP-3 for binding to CCR3 [16].
  • The airway epithelium CCR3 receptor/eotaxin ligand signal transduction system may be an important target for development of novel mechanism-based adjunctive therapies designed to interrupt the underlying chronic inflammation in allergic and inflammatory disorders [17].
 

Anatomical context of CCR3

 

Associations of CCR3 with chemical compounds

  • The surface expression of CCR3 is not modulated following uptake of particulate substances such as zymosan or latex beads [5].
  • This demonstrates the importance of the penultimate proline in LD78beta(1 - 70) for CCR3 recognition [21].
  • Following treatment with the sulfation inhibitor chlorate or proteoglycanases, no inhibition of CCL11-induced activity was observed using either eosinophils or a CCR3-expressing transfectant cell line [15].
  • RESULTS: High percentages (>70%) of tryptase-positive cells showing CCR3 expression were found in the skin and in the intestinal submucosa, whereas much lower percentages (< or = 20%) were found in the intestinal mucosa and in the lung interstitium [22].
  • Antibody against eotaxin or CCR3, and actinomycin D inhibited these effects of eotaxin [23].
 

Physical interactions of CCR3

  • Cloning and functional characterization of a novel human CC chemokine that binds to the CCR3 receptor and activates human eosinophils [24].
  • In particular, modest variations in the pH and the level of sodium chloride over a range of physiologic and near physiologic conditions had dramatic effects on eotaxin binding and CCR3-mediated cytoplasmic Ca2+ mobilization [25].
  • Ecalectin did not mediate ECA activity by binding to the IL-5R or to CCR3 [26].
  • Surface epitopes identified on RANTES to be involved in binding to CCR3 are mimicked on the eotaxin-1 and MCP-3 surface [27].
  • A linear peptide corresponding to the N-terminal region of CCR3 binds to eotaxin-2, inducing concentration-dependent chemical shift changes or line broadening of many residues [28].
 

Regulatory relationships of CCR3

 

Other interactions of CCR3

  • CTL activity was abrogated by an antibody that blocks CCR3, further indicating that specific lysis is triggered via this chemokine receptor [18].
  • These observations reveal a novel mechanism for the induction of HIV-1-specific cytotoxicity that depends on RANTES acting via CCR3 [18].
  • In contrast, CCR3 and CCR4 were found on Th2s [33].
  • Direct receptor binding experiments with the CysL24-51 peptide confirmed binding to cells transfected with CCR2 and CCR3 [34].
  • Constitutive expression of CCR1 and CCR3 mRNA in PMN was detected by ribonuclease protection assay [35].
