Chemokines and chemokine receptors: new actors in neuroendocrine regulations

Frontiers in Neuroendocrinology
William RostèneTullio Florio

Abstract

Chemokines are small secreted proteins that chemoattract and activate immune and non-immune cells. Their role in the immune system is well-known, and it has recently been suggested that they may also play a role in the central nervous system (CNS). Indeed, they do not only act as immunoinflammatory mediators in the brain but they also act as potential modulators in neurotransmission. Although we are only beginning to be aware of the implication of chemokines in neuroendocrine functions, this review aims at summarizing what is known in that booming field of research. First we describe the expression of chemokines and their receptors in the CNS with a focus on the hypothalamo-pituitary system. Secondly, we present what is known on some chemokines in the regulation of neuroendocrine functions such as cell migration, stress, thermoregulation, drinking and feeding as well as anterior pituitary functions. We suggest that chemokines provide a fine modulatory tuning system of neuroendocrine regulations.

Anorexia Nervosa

Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a psychiatric condition characterized by severe weight loss and secondary problems associated with malnutrition. Here is the latest research on AN.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.

Calcium & Bioenergetics

Bioenergetic processes, including cellular respiration and photosynthesis, concern the transformation of energy by cells. Here is the latest research on the role of calcium in bioenergetics.

Cell Migration in Cancer and Metastasis

Migration of cancer cells into surrounding tissue and the vasculature is an initial step in tumor metastasis. Discover the latest research on cell migration in cancer and metastasis here.

Cancer Metabolism

In order for cancer cells to maintain rapid, uncontrolled cell proliferation, they must acquire a source of energy. Cancer cells acquire metabolic energy from their surrounding environment and utilize the host cell nutrients to do so. Here is the latest research on cancer metabolism.
