Disease relevance of CCR8

 

High impact information on CCR8

  • Here we examine the role of an intermolecular hTER-hTER interaction in the previously reported functional dimerization of telomerase [5].
  • Here, we show that the majority of human T cells in healthy skin express the chemokine receptor CCR8 and respond to its selective ligand I-309/CCL1 [6].
  • Secretion of interleukin (IL)-4, IL-10, and transforming growth factor-beta was low to undetectable, arguing against a strict association of CCR8 expression with either T helper cell 2 or regulatory T cell subsets [6].
  • Characterization of Gr-1int monocytes revealed that they selectively expressed CCR7 and CCR8 mRNA in blood [7].
  • Role of CCR8 and other chemokine pathways in the migration of monocyte-derived dendritic cells to lymph nodes [7].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of CCR8

  • The aim of our study was to characterize the role of the CC chemokine receptor 8 (CCR8), the only described receptor for CCL1, in the rescue of murine thymic lymphoma cells and murine thymocytes from dexamethasone (dex)-induced apoptosis [8].
  • To determine the degree and potential importance of this effect, we measured the transcapillary escape rate (TER) of (125)I-labeled albumin in 12 adult patients fulfilling American College of Chest Physicians/Society of Critical Care Medicine criteria for septic shock [9].
 

Biological context of CCR8

 

Anatomical context of CCR8

 

Associations of CCR8 with chemical compounds

  • The C-C chemokine receptors CCR4 and CCR8 identify airway T cells of allergen-challenged atopic asthmatics [14].
  • We report here that vMIP-I binds to and induces cytosolic [Ca(2+)] signals in human T cells selectively through CCR8, a CC chemokine receptor associated with Th2 lymphocytes [17].
  • Here, we show that human peripheral blood CD4(+) and CD8(+) cutaneous (CLA(+)), but not intestinal memory (integrin beta(7) (+)) nor IL-4-producing T cells, represent major subpopulations of circulating T cells that specifically migrate in response to the chemokine I-309/CCL1 by virtue of CCR8 expression [18].
  • NH(2)-terminal extension of the mature CCL1 sequence by a serine residue (Ser-CCL1) resulted in a partial agonist with a reduced affinity for CCR8, suggesting that the NH(2) terminus of the ligand plays a role in ligand binding to an intrahelical site [19].
  • The design, synthesis, and structure-activity relationship development of naphthalene-derived human CCR8 antagonists is described [20].
 

Physical interactions of CCR8

  • Both I309 and vMIP-1 bind CCR8, strongly suggesting that this isolate can use CCR8 on primary cells [21].
 

Regulatory relationships of CCR8

  • To identify the ligand of CKR-L1, we have studied chemokine-induced calcium mobilization in 293 cells transfected with CKR-L1 [1].
  • No point mutants, except GUN-1/L, grew well in NP-2/CD4 cells expressing CCR8 [22].
  • Similarly, vMIP-I responses were more than 2 orders of magnitude more sensitive to the specific CCR8 antagonist MC148 than those induced by CCL1, which is difficult to reconcile with the reported affinities for the receptor [19].
  • These cells were 44.7% (32.6% to 50.0%) IL-4(+) and only 2.5% (0.6% to 3.3%) IFN-(gamma) and showed a greater than 5-fold upregulation of CCR4 expression to 54.0% (40.7% to 67.8%) after culture, whereas CCR3 was expressed on 9.7% (7.4% to 18.9%) of allergen-reactive cells and CCR8 on less than 1% [23].
