Re-evaluation of Chicken CXCR1 Determines the True Gene Structure

Abstract: The original report of chicken CXCR1 (Li, Q. J., Lu, S., Ye, R. D., and Martins-Green, M. (2000) Gene (Amst.) 257, 307-317) described it as a single exon gene, with two isoforms (differing in their start codon). In comparison with mammalian CXCR1, the reported chicken CXCR1 was longer at both the NH 2 and COOH termini, and it lacked the conserved (C/S)CXNP motif present in the last transmembrane region of all known chemokine receptors. A re-evaluation of chicken CXCR1, comparing known expressed sequence tags w… Show more

“…The highest levels of expression of the examined genes corresponded with the significant clinical signs and the inflammatory responses in the oviductal tissues. In the chicken, there are two syntenic genes (CXCLi1 and CXCLi2) that mainly chemoattract heterophils and monocytes, respectively [27]. Interestingly, although both the CXCL chemokines were upregulated following NDV infection in this study, the CXCLi2 mRNA expression levels were higher compared to CXCLi1.…”

“…4) but with lower viral load (Table 2) in the chicken bursa than in the case of NDV IBS002 infection. Chicken CXCLi2, a proinflammatory chemokine, is expressed by and is chemotactic for monocytes [39]. On the other hand, IL-18 is a pro-inflammatory cytokine secreted by various immune and none-immune cells including monocytes, macrophages and lymphocytes that promotes expression of IFN-γ by T cells [40], which subsequently activates macrophages to produce NO [41, 42].…”

“…TaqMan real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to quantify mRNA levels of a proinflammatory cytokine (IL-1β), a proinflammatory chemokine (CXCLi2), a Th1 signature cytokine (interferon (IFN)-γ), a Th2 signature cytokine (interleukin (IL)-13) and two T regulatory cytokines (IL-10 and TGF-β4), with 28S rRNA as a housekeeping gene, essentially as described [26,27]. Primers and probes specific for turkey mRNAs are given in Table  1.…”

“…The passive reference dye 6-carboxy-c-rhodamine, not involved in amplification, was used for normalisation of the reporter signal. Data are expressed in terms of the cycle threshold value (Ct), normalised for each sample using the Ct value of 28S rRNA product for the same sample, as described previously [26,27]. Final results are shown as corrected ΔCt, using the normalised value.…”
