Disease relevance of CCL11

 

High impact information on CCL11

  • The molecular steps involved in eosinophil development and trafficking are described, with special attention to the important role of the transcription factor GATA-1, the eosinophil-selective cytokine IL-5, and the eotaxin subfamily of chemokines [7].
  • CCR3 facilitated infection by a more restricted subset of primary viruses, and binding of the CCR3 ligand, eotaxin, inhibited infection by these isolates [8].
  • In addition, a factor chemotactic for human eosinophils with the size and charge characteristics of the eosinophil chemotactic factor of anaphylaxis was identified in blullous fluid [9].
  • Blood specimens were obtained from each arm serially over a one-hour interval, and serum speciments were assessed for histamine, eosinophil chemotactic factor of anaphylaxis, and complement components [10].
  • This initial observation of release of eosinophil chemotactic factor of anaphylaxis in vivo along with histamine assigns the mast cell a central role in cold urticaria [10].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of CCL11

 

Biological context of CCL11

 

Anatomical context of CCL11

  • Because the rat aortic sprouting assay, which is not infiltrated by eosinophils, yielded a positive response to CCL11, this angiogenic response appears to be direct and is not mediated by eosinophil products [16].
  • The angiogenic response induced by CCL11 was about one-half of that induced by basic fibroblast factor, and it was accompanied by an inflammatory infiltrate, which consisted predominantly of eosinophils [16].
  • TLR3-Mediated Synthesis and Release of Eotaxin-1/CCL11 from Human Bronchial Smooth Muscle Cells Stimulated with Double-Stranded RNA [2].
  • The chemotactic activity was consistent with the expression of CCR3, the receptor for CCL11, on human microvascular endothelial cells and was inhibited by mAbs to either human CCL11 or human CCR3 [16].
  • CCL11 also induced the formation of blood vessels in vivo as assessed by the chick chorioallantoic membrane and Matrigel plug assays [16].
 

Associations of CCL11 with chemical compounds

 

Physical interactions of CCL11

  • This study shows that eotaxin also interacts with CCR2 and CCR5 and can, thus, affect the responses of monocytes, which express both receptors [22].
  • 125I-Eotaxin-2 binds with high affinity to eosinophils and both eotaxin and cold eotaxin-2 displace the ligand with equal affinity [23].
  • IFN-gamma did not influence the TNF-alpha-induced binding of nuclear factor kappaB to a DNA probe derived from the eotaxin promoter [24].
  • Eotaxin binds the CC chemokine receptor CCR3 that is highly expressed by eosinophils, and it is considered important in the pathology of chronic respiratory disorders such as asthma [25].
  • Eotaxin induces a sustained reduction in the functional adhesive state of very late antigen 4 for the connecting segment 1 region of fibronectin [26].
 

Enzymatic interactions of CCL11

  • In this study we demonstrate that eotaxin is efficiently cleaved by CD26/DPP IV and that the NH2-terminal truncation affects its biological activity [27].
 

Regulatory relationships of CCL11

 

Other interactions of CCL11

  • Although there is a mounting body of evidence that eosinophils are recruited to sites of allergic inflammation by a number of beta-chemokines, particularly eotaxin and RANTES, the receptor that mediates these actions has not been identified [29].
  • It shares receptors with eotaxin and shows full cross-desensitization with this cosinophil-selective chemokine [30].
  • In all assays, eotaxin-2 had the same efficacy as eotaxin, but was somewhat less potent [31].
  • MCP-4 shares the pyroglutamic acidproline NH2-terminal motif and 56-61% sequence identity with the three known monocyte chemotactic proteins and is 60% identical to eotaxin [30].
  • It has marked functional similarities to MCP-3 and eotaxin [30].
