Disease relevance of Ccl21b

  • TCA-4 protein was not detected on the luminal surface of PLN HEVs in plt/plt mice, which have a congenital defect in T cell homing to PLNs [1].
  • Similar findings are seen when mice are treated with pertussis toxin, which blocks chemokine signaling in vivo. plt/plt mice had increased susceptibility to L. donovani infection compared with wild-type mice, as determined by spleen and liver parasite burden [2].
 

High impact information on Ccl21b

  • Focus formation in rat fibroblasts exposed to a tumour promoter after transfer of polyoma plt and myc oncogenes [3].
  • Both parameters were comparably reduced for WT T lymphocytes migrating in T cell areas of plt/plt mice lacking CCR7 ligands [4].
  • Homing experiments in paucity of lymph node T cells (plt/plt) mice, which do not express CCR7 ligands in secondary lymphoid organs, revealed that T(CM) migrate to PLNs at approximately 20% of wild-type (WT) levels, whereas homing of naive T cells was reduced by 95% [5].
  • Sticking of T(CM) in plt/plt HEVs was pertussis toxin sensitive and was blocked by anti-CXCL12 (SDF-1alpha) [5].
  • Accordingly, a large fraction of endogenous CD8(+) T cells in plt/plt PLNs displayed a T(CM) phenotype [5].
 

Biological context of Ccl21b

 

Anatomical context of Ccl21b

 

Associations of Ccl21b with chemical compounds

  • In this study we demonstrate that FTY720 rescues the homing defect in both CCR7(-/-) mice and plt mice [12].
  • Although airway inflammation and response to acetylcholine were significantly reduced compared with BALB/c mice, significant eosinophilic inflammation and hyperresponsiveness were also observed in plt mice after 2 weeks of inhalation [8].
  • Studies on the effect of actinomycin D or cycloheximide treatment indicated that the vitamin may enhance de novo synthesis of ALP [13].
  • Moreover, the anti-estrogen tamoxifen eliminated the stimulation of MC3T3-E1 cells on the proliferation, ALP activity and collagen synthesis by soy extract, indicating that the main action of the soy extract on osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells is similar to that of estrogen effects [14].
  • Identical enzyme labels (alkaline phosphatase, ALP) and substrates (p-aminophenyl phosphate, PAPP) are used for all analytes [15].
 

Regulatory relationships of Ccl21b

  • Anti-CXCL9/Mig was administered for 2 weeks post-transplant to determine whether impairment of activated T-cell migration could further prolong cardiac allograft survival in plt recipients [6].
 

Other interactions of Ccl21b

  • We also show that the NALT of Cxcl13(-/-) and plt/plt mice exhibits some, but not all, of the structural and functional defects observed in the NALT of Ltalpha(-/-) mice [11].
  • In contrast, accumulation of mRNA for IL-10 was elevated in plt/plt mice [2].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Ccl21b

  • Accordingly, T cells from plt heart transplant recipients demonstrated poor anti-donor responses in ex vivo MLR, compared to wt heart or wt and plt skin recipients [6].
  • The numbers of ALP-positive cells in the mouse fibroblastic cell line C3H10T1/2 and the mouse osteoblastic cell line MC3T3-E1 were increased by co-culture with chicken fibroblasts transfected with chicken Shh cDNA encoding amino-terminal peptide (Shh-N) [16].
  • Controls were untreated (NT) or received only the vaccination protocol (ALP) [17].
