Selective recruitment of CCR6-expressing cells by increased production of MIP-3α in rheumatoid arthritis

Abstract: Infiltration of various types of leucocytes has been shown to play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Macrophage inflammatory protein‐3α (MIP‐3α) is a recently identified chemokine which is a selective chemoattractant for leucocytes such as memory T cells, naïve B cells and immature dendritic cells. In this study, we investigated the expression of MIP‐3α and its specific receptor CCR6 in the inflamed joints of patients with RA. Increased amounts of MIP‐3α were found by ELISA in sy… Show more

“…32 Infiltrating mononuclear cells and synovial fibroblasts produce MIP3a in rheumatoid arthritis patients in response to IL-1 and TNFa. 33 MIP3a then recruits leukocytes such as memory T cells, naïve B cells and dendritic cells. 33 RANTES, a pro-inflammatory chemokine, is also stimulated by IL-1 and TNFa, produced by fibroblasts, and involved in trafficking leukocytes subsets into inflamed tissues.…”

“…Other chemokine receptors may also be involved in RA. CCR6, a receptor for MIP-3␣/CCL20, was detected on infiltrating white blood cells in the RA ST (69). XCR1, the lymphotactin/XCL1 receptor, was immunolocalized to ST lymphocytes, macrophages, and fibroblasts.…”

“…In the ST, mainly infiltrating macrophages and ST lining cells expressed MIP-3␣/CCL20. RA ST fibroblasts produced this chemokine in response to cytokines, including TNF␣, IL-1, IL-17, or IL-18 (69)(70)(71). MIP-3␣ is potently chemotactic for monocytes (70).…”

“…MIP-3α is a CC chemokine which attracts memory T-lymphocytes and dendritic cells expressing the CCR6 receptor [19,20,21]. The expression of MIP-3α is up-regulated in psoriatic skin [22], atopic dermatitis [23] and rheumatoid arthritis [24] and MIP-3α is involved in the amplification of local inflammatory responses in the liver [25]. Fractalkine is the single member of the CX3C family of chemokines.…”
