Definitions
- Chemoattractant cytokines or chemokines are a family of proinflammatory mediators that promote recruitment and activation of multiple lineages of leukocytes and lymphocytes. They can be released by many kinds of tissue cells after activation. Continuous release of chemokines at sites of inflammation mediates the ongoing migration of effector cells in chronic inflammation.
- the chemokines characterized to date are related in primary structure. They share four conserved cysteines, which form disulfide bonds.
- the family is divided into two main branches, designated as the C-X-C chemokines ( ⁇ -chemokines) , and the C-C chemokines ( ⁇ -chemokines) , in which the first two conserved cysteines are separated by an intervening residue, or adjacent respectively (Baggiolini, M. and Dahinden, C. A., Immunology
- the C-X-C chemokines include a number of potent chemoattractants and activators of neutrophils, such as interleukin 8 (IL-8) , PF4 and neutrophil -activating peptide-2 (NAP-2) .
- IL-8 interleukin 8
- PF4 neutrophil -activating peptide-2
- NAP-2 neutrophil -activating peptide-2
- the C-C chemokines include RANTES (Regulated on Activation, Normal T Expressed and Secreted) , the macrophage inflammatory proteins l ⁇ and l ⁇ (MIP-l ⁇ and MlP-l ⁇ ) , eotaxin, and human monocyte chemotactic proteins 1-3 (MCP-1, MCP-2, MCP-3) , which have been characterized as chemoattractants and activators of monocytes or lymphocytes but do not appear to be chemoattractants for neutrophils.
- Chemokines, such as RANTES and MlP-l ⁇ have been implicated in a wide range of human acute and chronic inflammatory diseases including respiratory diseases, such as asthma and allergic disorders.
- the chemokine receptors are members of a superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) which share structural features that reflect a common mechanism of action of signal transduction (Gerard, C. and Gerard, N.P., Annu .Rev. Immunol . , 12:775-808 (1994); Gerard, C. and Gerard, N. P.,
- C-C chemokine receptor 1 also referred to as CCR-1; Neote, K. , et al . , Cell ,
- CCR3 mediates binding and signaling of chemokines including eotaxin, RANTES, and MCP-3 (Ponath et al . , J. Exp . Med . , 183:2437 (1996))
- CCR4 binds chemokines including RANTES, MlP-l ⁇ , and MCP-1 (Power, et al., J " . Biol . Chem. , 270:19495 (1995))
- CCR5 binds chemokines including MlP-l ⁇ , RANTES, and MlP-l ⁇ (Samson, et al . , Biochem .
- RANTES is a chemotactic chemokine for a variety of cell types, including monocytes, eosinophils, and a subset of T-cells.
- the responses of these different cells may not all be mediated by the same receptor, and it is possible that the receptors CCR1 , CCR4 and CCR5 will show some selectivity in receptor distribution and function between leukocyte types, as has already been shown for CCR3 (Ponath et al . ) .
- RANTES to induce the directed migration of monocytes and a memory population of circulating T-cells (Schall, T. et al . , Nature, 347:669-71 (1990)) suggests this chemokine and its receptor (s) may play a critical role in chronic inflammatory diseases, since these diseases are characterized by destructive infiltrates of T cells and monocytes.
- An antagonist of chemokine receptor function is a molecule which can inhibit the binding and/or activation of one or more chemokines, including C-C chemokines such as RANTES, MlP-l ⁇ , MCP-2, MCP-3 and/or MCP-4 to one or more chemokine receptors on leukocytes and/or other cell types.
