Functional characterization of rat chemokine macrophage inflammatory protein-2

Abstract: Expression of mRNA for the C-X-C chemokine, macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2), is induced during acute inflammation in rat models of disease. We have characterized the phlogistic potential of rat recombinant MIP-2 (rMIP-2) protein in vitro and in vivo. Recombinant MIP-2 caused marked PMN chemotaxis in vitro, with peak chemotactic activity at 10 nM. Incubation of whole blood with rMIP-2 caused a significant loss of L-selectin and a significant increase in Mac-1 expression on the PMN surface. Under simil… Show more

“…1B). CXCR2 is a receptor for KC and MIP-2, which are potent neutrophil chemotactic factors (28,29,43) that we and others (12, 20, 38, 39, 49, 54, 55, 59, 60) observe to be induced by O 3 exposure. In both wild-type and CXCR2-deficient mice, Fig.…”

“…LIX expression in vivo has not been described previously. KC and MIP-2 have been evaluated in several mouse and rat models [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40], but possible differences in the tissue distributions of KC and MIP-2 have not been systematically examined in the same model. Even if LIX, KC, and MIP-2 all prove to act exclusively via CXCR2, LIX might have biological functions distinct from KC and MIP-2 if it is predominantly expressed in different locations and regulated differently.…”

“…7,8 Furthermore, the expression of MIP-2 and KC are reported to increase during inflammation of the kidney, liver, and lung. [9][10][11][12] In the present study we investigate the roles of MIP-2 and KC in the local tissue injury induced by hepatic ischemia and reperfusion.…”
