Disease relevance of Ccl20

  • These results suggest that in chronic DSS-induced colitis, both MAdCAM-1 and mLARC/CCL20 may play important roles in T and B lymphocyte adhesion in the inflamed colon under flow conditions [1].
  • However, coexpression of the Herpes Simplex Virus thymidine kinase gene (HSVtk) and CCL20, cured large established tumors where HSVtk expression alone was not sufficient [2].
  • CCL3 and CCL20 expression alone did not significantly inhibit the development of the B16 melanoma tumor [2].
  • Control of Salmonella dissemination in vivo by macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-3alpha/CCL20 [3].
  • Together, these results demonstrate an important role for CCL20 in the control of bacterial infection and more specifically in the regulation of cell-mediated immunity against intracellular bacteria such as S. enteritidis [3].

Other interactions of Ccl20

  • In some of the experiments antibodies against the adhesion molecules or anti-mLARC/CCL20 were administered, or CC chemokine receptor 6 (CCR6) of the lymphocytes was desensitized with excess amounts of mLARC/CCL20 [1].
  • They did not migrate to inducible chemokines--CCL3 [macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1alpha], CCL5 [regulated upon activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted (RANTES)], or CCL20 (MIP-3alpha) [13].
  • When epithelial cells were treated with the Toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists Pam3Cys (TLR2/1), peptidoglycan (TLR2/6) or lipopolysaccharide (LPS; TLR4), CCL20/MIP-3 alpha increased rapidly (4 hr) in both apical and basolateral secretions [12].
