Objective: To observe the expressions of mRNA and protein for the CCR2 in cerebral tissue with experimental hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) to newborn rat.
Methods: The HIBD model of SD rat was set up by ligating the right carotid artery and exposing the animals to 8% oxygen for 2.5 h. The dynamic change of CCR2 mRNA level was studied by using quantitative, real-time, fluorescence PCR assay (TaqMan), and the change of CCR2 protein was detected by SDS-PAGE assay.
Results: The highest expression of CCR2 mRNA was showing at 24 h after HIBD, of which the level was significantly higher in hypoxic-ischemic (HI) cerebral hemisphere than in control (P < 0.05). The CCR2 mRNA level of 72 h after HIBD was still higher than that of control (P > 0.05) but had no difference on 7 d after HIBD when compared with control (P > 0.05). The increased expression of CCR2 protein was detected at 12 h after HIBD and peaked at 24 h after HIBD. The significant increase of CCR2 protein persisted in HI hemisphere up to 3 d after HIBD.
Conclusion: The expressions of CCR2 mRNA and protein increase significantly in cerebral tissue of newborn rat with HIBD. The dynamic change of CCR2 expression is consistent with the process of HIBD, which suggests that CCR2 expression after HIBD may play an important role in the mechanism of brain damage.

Introduction: Primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS) is a systemic autoimmune disease that is characterized by the infiltration of immune cells into the salivary glands. The re-establishment of salivary glands (SGs) function in pSS remains a clinical challenge. Myeloid-derived growth factor (MYDGF) has anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and tissue-functional restorative abilities.

Nutritional and metabolic state in dairy cows are important determinants of the immune response. During the periparturient period, a state of negative energy balance in the cow increases plasma concentrations of fatty acids (FA), which are associated with inflammation. Among immune cells, CD4 T are able to function under high-FA conditions, but the underlying mechanisms regulating these events remain unclear.

Background: Despite the development of various antiviral drugs, most of them are not effective in the treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as a hyperinflammatory disorder. Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2) is one of the critical CC chemokines involved in the pathogenesis and severity of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. This study aimed to investigate the expression of CCL2 and CC chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2) in COVID-19 patients.

Background And Aims: Osteopontin (OPN) promotes the ductular reaction and is a major driver of chronic liver disease (CLD) progression. Although CLD is characterised by the accumulation of inflammatory cells including macrophages around the peri-portal regions, the influence of OPN on recruitment is unclear. We investigated the role of OPN in cholangiocyte chemokine production and macrophage recruitment by combining in vivo, in vitro, and in silico approaches.

The pathogenesis of myelocytomatosis oncogene (MYC) and B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2) double-expressor diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DE-DLBCL) remains unclear. To investigate how MYC and BCL2 contribute to tumor aggressiveness, we analyzed tumors from 14 patients each with DE-DLBCL and non-DE-DLBCL using whole transcriptome sequencing. Validation was performed using publicly available data sets, tumor tissues from 126 patients, DLBCL cell lines, and a syngeneic mouse lymphoma model.
