The chemokine-like receptor 1 (CMKLR1) ligands resolvin E1 and chemerin are known to modulate inflammatory response. The progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is associated with inflammation. Here it was analyzed whether hepatic CMKLR1 expression is related to histological features of NASH. Therefore, CMKLR1 mRNA was quantified in liver tissue of 33 patients without NAFLD, 47 patients with borderline NASH and 38 patients with NASH. Hepatic CMKLR1 mRNA was not associated with gender and body mass index (BMI) in the controls and the whole study group. CMKLR1 expression was similar in controls and in patients with borderline NASH and NASH. In male patients weak positive correlations with inflammation, fibrosis and NASH score were identified. In females CMKLR1 was not associated with features of NAFLD. Liver CMKLR1 mRNA tended to be higher in type 2 diabetes patients of both genders and in hypercholesterolemic women. In summary, this study shows that hepatic CMKLR1 mRNA is weakly associated with features of NASH in male patients only.

Unlabelled: This study investigated whether chemerin/chemokine-like receptor 1 (CMKLR1) pathway participate in cisplatin-induced spiral ganglion neuron (SGN) damage. Middle cochlear turn was collected from C57BL/6 mice and the SGNs were cultured. Cisplatin, 2-(anaphthoyl) ethyltrimethylammonium iodide (α-NETA), or recombinant mouse chemerin was added into the medium for the treatment.

Specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) and especially Resolvin E1 (RvE1) can actively terminate inflammation and promote healing during lung diseases such as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Although ARDS primarily affects the lung, many ARDS patients also develop neurocognitive impairments. To investigate the connection between the lung and brain during ARDS and the therapeutic potential of SPMs and its derivatives, mice were crossbred with RvE1 receptor knockout mice.

Introduction: Tumor Associated Macrophages (TAM) are a major component of the tumor environment and their accumulation often correlates with poor prognosis by contributing to local inflammation, inhibition of anti-tumor immune response and resistance to anticancer treatments. In this study, we thus investigated the anti-cancer therapeutic interest to target ChemR23, a receptor of the resolution of inflammation expressed by macrophages, using an agonist monoclonal antibody, αChemR23.
Methods: Human GM-CSF, M-CSF and Tumor Associated Macrophage (TAM)-like macrophages were obtained by incubation of monocytes from healthy donors with GM-CSF, M-CSF or tumor cell supernatants (Breast cancer (BC) or malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) cells).

Chemerin, a pleiotropic adipokine coded by the gene, has been reported to affect the pathophysiology of various cancer entities. To further approach the role of this adipokine in ovarian cancer (OC), intratumoral protein levels of chemerin and its receptor chemokine-like receptor 1 (CMKLR1) were examined by immunohistochemistry analyzing tissue microarrays with tumor samples from 208 OC patients. Since chemerin has been reported to affect the female reproductive system, associations with proteins involved in steroid hormone signaling were analyzed.
