    Targeting FROUNT with disulfiram suppresses macrophage accumulation and its tumor-promoting properties

    Tumor-associated macrophages affect tumor progression and resistance to immune checkpoint therapy. Here, we identify the chemokine signal regulator FROUNT as a target to control tumor-associated macrophages. T...

    CXCL4/Platelet Factor 4 is an agonist of CCR1 and drives human monocyte migration

    Activated platelets release micromolar concentrations of the chemokine CXCL4/Platelet Factor-4. Deposition of CXCL4 onto the vascular endothelium is involved in atherosclerosis, facilitating monocyte arrest an...

    Pivotal function for cytoplasmic protein FROUNT in CCR2-mediated monocyte chemotaxis

    Ligation of the chemokine receptor CCR2 on monocytes and macrophages with its ligand CCL2 results in activation of the cascade consisting of phosphatidylinositol-3-OH kinase (PI(3)K), the small G protein Rac a...

    Neutrophil Cytoskeletal Disease

    Neutrophils and other phagocytes migrate to the site of infection, ingest pathogens, and destroy them after releasing granule contents and active oxygen. These activities of the cells are closely associated wi...

    Statistical and mutational analysis of chronic granulomatous disease in Japan with special reference to gp91-phox and p22-phox deficiency

    Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a group of inherited disorders of host defense caused by a mutation in any of the four components of phagocyte NADPH oxidase, namely gp91-, p22-, p47-, and p67-phox. We hav...

    Drug-selected complete restoration of superoxide generation in Epstein-Barr virus-transformed B cells from p47 phox -deficient chronic granulomatous disease patients by using a bicistronic retrovirus vector encoding a human multi-drug resistance gene (MDR1) and the p47 phox gene

    Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a group of disorders characterized by the failure of phagocytes to produce superoxide. One-third of the cases of CGD in the USA and Europe results from defects in the gen...

    A 25-kb deletion in the 5′ region of the cytochrome b558 heavy chain gene (CYBB) in a patient with X-linked chronic granulomatous disease

    We performed molecular genetic analyses of the family of a boy suffering from chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) after immunocytochemically confirming him and his mother to be an X-linked CGD patient and a m...

    Antimetastatic activity of lipopolysaccharide against a NK-resistant murine fibrosarcoma

    An intravenous injection of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) into mice exerted prominent antimetastatic activities against a NK-resistant weakly immunogenic NFSa fibrosarcoma. The number of visible metastase...
