Introduction: Chemokines and chemokine receptors have a pivotal role in immunity and inflammation. We aimed to evaluate their role in kidney transplant rejection.

Materials And Methods: The association of chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 2 (CCR2)-V64I and CCR5-Delta32 gene polymorphisms with acute rejection (AR) and delayed graft function (DGF) were examined in 100 donor-recipient pairs. The CCR2-V64I and CCR5-Delta32 alleles were determined using polymerase chain reaction and polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism, respectively.

Results: No associations were found between donors or recipients' CCR2-V64I and CCR5-Delta32 gene polymorphisms and AR or DGF. Of the characteristics of the donors, recipients, and transplantation, glomerulonephritis as a cause of kidney failure in the recipients was weakly associated with AR (relative risk, 6.1; 95% confidence interval, 0.8 to 46.0; P = .07). Transplantation of kidney from females to males was weakly associated with DGF (relative risk, 5.5; 95% confidence interval, 0.9 to 33.0; P = .06). There was a significant association between AR, but not DGF, and graft loss in the patients (relative risk, 28.6; 95% confidence interval, 1.7 to 487.0; P = .03).

Conclusions: Our study failed to suggest CCR2-V64I or CCR5-Delta32 gene polymorphisms as risk factors for AR and DGF in kidney transplantation. Sex-matching between donors and recipients should be considered for living donor kidney transplantation.

Objective: Bipolar disorder (BD) is a debilitating psychiatric disease with unknown etiology. Recent studies have shown inflammation as a potential contributing factor of BD pathogenesis. However, potential associations between chemokine and chemokine receptor polymorphisms and BD have been fundamentally understudied. Read More

Background Chemokines are known to play a major role in driving inflammation and immune responses in several neuroinflammatory diseases, including multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. Inflammation has also been implicated in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. Aim We aimed to investigate a potential link between chemokines and schizophrenia and analyze the role of MCP-1-A2518G, SDF-1-3'A, CCR5-delta32, CCR5-A55029G, CXCR4-C138T and CCR2-V64I gene polymorphisms in the Turkish population.

Chemokines are low-molecular weight proteins that play a key role in inflammatory processes. Genomic variations in chemokine receptors are associated with the susceptibility to various diseases. Polymorphisms in chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5)-Δ32 and CCR2-V64I are related to human immunodeficiency virus infection resistance, which has led to genetic association studies for several other diseases.

Many tumor cells express chemokines and chemokine receptors, and these molecules can affect both tumor progression and anti-tumor immune response. Genetic polymorphisms of some chemokine receptors were found to be closely related to malignant tumors, especially in metastasis process, including breast cancer (BC). Considering this, it was investigated a possible role for CCR2-V64I (C-C chemokine receptor 2) and CCR5-Δ32 (C-C chemokine receptor 5) genetic variants in BC context. Read More
