Modulation of platelet and monocyte function by the chemokine fractalkine (CX3CL1) in cardiovascular disease

Abstract: Background The chemokine fractalkine, CX3CL1, bears unique features within the chemokine family: it exists in a membrane bound form acting as an adhesion molecule and surface receptor; however, when cleaved by ADAM 10, it functions as a soluble chemokine. Fractalkine and its chemokine receptor CX3CR1 are known to have multiple roles in diverse human diseases, for example inflammatory diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, renal diseases and atherosclerosis.

“…RA patients have a high risk of developing atherosclerosis and consequently cardiovascular disease; 30–50% of RA patients die for these causes. This is partly because these patients have different endothelial alterations, such as persistent activation, prothrombotic properties, and a reduction on vasodilator response [4951]. Bergholm et al in 2002 were the first to identify endothelial dysfunction in RA patients.…”

“…In addition, experiment evidences have described the active involvement of CX3CL1/CX3CR1 in many other diseases, such as atherosclerotic, allergic asthma and rhinitis, renal diseases, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Sjögren's syndrome (SS), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), scleroderma, colorectal cancer, and breast cancer [ 117 123 ]. For example, a genetically defined less active CX3CL1/CX3CR1 pathway is associated with a reduced risk of atherosclerotic disease in humans and the blockade of the CX3CL1/CX3CR1 pathway ameliorates the severity of atherosclerosis [ 124 , 125 ].…”

“…Platelet-leukocyte conjugates were chosen because they are known to be more sensitive and longer-lived markers of in vivo platelet activation than surface P-selectin expression. 32,34,35 Secondary outcomes were the transcerebral gradients of activated monocytes and neutrophils. The transcerebral gradient was determined by subtracting the arterial value from the corresponding jugular venous value.…”
