Abstract
Leukocyte migration into tissues depends on the activity of chemokines that form concentration gradients to guide leukocytes to a specific site. Interaction of chemokines with their specific G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) on leukocytes induces leukocyte adhesion to the endothelial cells, followed by extravasation of the leukocytes and subsequent directed migration along the chemotactic gradient. Interaction of chemokines with glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) is crucial for extravasation in vivo. Chemokines need to interact with GAGs on endothelial cells and in the extracellular matrix in tissues in order to be presented on the endothelium of blood vessels and to create a concentration gradient. Local chemokine retention establishes a chemokine gradient and prevents diffusion and degradation. During the last two decades, research aiming at reducing chemokine activity mainly focused on the identification of inhibitors of the interaction between chemokines and their cognate GPCRs. This approach only resulted in limited success. However, an alternative strategy, targeting chemokine-GAG interactions, may be a promising approach to inhibit chemokine activity and inflammation. On this line, proteins derived from viruses and parasites that bind chemokines or GAGs may have the potential to interfere with chemokine-GAG interactions. Alternatively, chemokine mimetics, including truncated chemokines and mutant chemokines, can compete with chemokines for binding to GAGs. Such truncated or mutated chemokines are characterized by a strong binding affinity for GAGs and abrogated binding to their chemokine receptors. Finally, Spiegelmers that mask the GAG-binding site on chemokines, thereby preventing chemokine-GAG interactions, were developed. In this review, the importance of GAGs for chemokine activity in vivo and strategies that could be employed to target chemokine-GAG interactions will be discussed in the context of inflammation.

Heparin/Heparan sulfate proteoglycans glycomic interactome in angiogenesis: biological implications and therapeutical use. Molecules 2015; 20:6342-88.

Abstract
Angiogenesis, the process of formation of new blood vessel from pre-existing ones, is involved in various intertwined pathological processes including virus infection, inflammation and oncogenesis, making it a promising target for the development of novel strategies for various interventions. To induce angiogenesis, angiogenic growth factors (AGFs) must interact with pro-angiogenic receptors to induce proliferation, protease production and migration of endothelial cells (ECs). The action of AGFs is counteracted by antiangiogenic modulators whose main mechanism of action is to bind (thus sequestering or masking) AGFs or their receptors. Many sugars, either free or associated to proteins, are involved in these interactions, thus exerting a tight regulation of the neovascularization process. Heparin and heparan sulfate proteoglycans undoubtedly play a pivotal role in this context since they bind to almost all the known AGFs, to several pro-angiogenic receptors and even to angiogenic inhibitors, originating an intricate network of interaction, the so called "angiogenesis glycomic interactome". The decoding of the angiogenesis glycomic interactome, achievable by a systematic study of the interactions occurring among angiogenic modulators and sugars, may help to design novel antiangiogenic therapies with implications in the cure of angiogenesis-dependent diseases.

Abstract
Chemokines are immobilized by binding to glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). A non-GAG-binding mutant CCL7 (mtCCL7) was developed that retained its affinity for chemokine receptors. This mtCCL7 induced leukocyte chemotaxis in diffusion gradients but did not stimulate trans-endothelial migration (p<0.01). Unlike wild-type CCL7, mtCCL7 persisted in the circulation of BALB/c mice for more than 6 h and prevented leukocyte infiltration of skin isografts (p<0.05). Treatment with mtCCL7 marginally increased the survival of C57BL/6 to BALB/c skin allografts and reduced graft infiltration by CD3+ cells (p<0.05). Importantly, mtCCL7 promoted long-term (>40 day) graft survival following minor histocompatibility (HY) antigen mismatched C57BL/6 skin transplantation; control grafts were rejected by day 24. Treatment with mtCCL7 produced a significant decrease in the frequency of IFN-gamma producing donor-reactive splenic T cells, reduced CCR2 expression by circulating leukocytes for 6 h (p<0.01) and blocked the normal increase in affinity of alpha4beta1 integrins for VCAM-1 following transient chemokine stimulation. These data suggest that mtCCL7 persists in the circulation and reduces both specific T-cell priming and the capacity of circulating immune cells to respond to GAG-bound chemokine at sites of developing inflammation.

Abstract
The Duffy Antigen/Receptor for Chemokine (DARC) is a seven segment transmembrane protein. It was firstly discovered as a blood group antigen and was the first specific gene locus assigned to a specific autosome in man. It became more famous as an erythrocyte receptor for malaria parasites (Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium knowlesi), and finally for chemokines. DARC is an unorthodox chemokine receptor as (i) it binds chemokines of both CC and CXC classes and (ii) it lacks the Asp-Arg-Tyr consensus motif in its second cytoplasmic loop hence cannot couple to G proteins and activate their signaling pathways. DARC had also been associated to cancer progression, numerous inflammatory diseases, and possibly to AIDS. In this review, we will summarize important biological data on DARC. Then we shall focus on recent development of the elaboration and analyzes of structural models of DARC. We underline the difficulty to propose pertinent structural models of transmembrane protein using comparative modeling process, and other dedicated approaches as the Protein Blocks. The chosen structural models encompass most of the biochemical data known to date. Finally, we present recent development of protein-protein docking between DARC structural models and CXCL-8 structures. We propose a hierarchical search based on separated rigid and flexible docking.

Abstract
We investigated the impact of curcumin on neutrophils. Chemotactic activity via human recombinant IL-8 (hrIL-8) was significantly inhibited by curcumin. Curcumin reduced calcium ion flow induced by internalization of the IL-8 receptor. We analyzed flow cytometry to evaluate the status of the IL-8 receptor after curcumin treatment. The change in the distribution of receptors intracellularly and on the cell surface suggested that curcumin may affect the receptor trafficking pathway intracellulary.
Rab11 is a low molecular weight G protein associated with the CXCR recycling pathway. Following curcumin treatment, immunoprecipitation studies showed that the IL-8 receptor was associated with larger amounts of active Rab11 than that in control cells. These data suggest that curcumin induces the stacking of the Rab11 vesicle complex with CXCR1 and CXCR2 in the endocytic pathway. The mechanism for antiinflammatory response by curcumin may involve unique regulation of the Rab11 trafficking molecule in recycling of IL-8 receptors.

Abstract
A non-glycosaminoglycan (GAG)-binding variant of the pleiotropic chemokine CCL7 was generated by mutating to alanine the basic (B) amino acids within an identified (44)BXBXXB(49) GAG-binding motif. Unlike wild-type (wt) CCL7, the mutant sequence had no affinity for heparin. However, the mutant retained a normal affinity for CCR1, CCR2b, and CCR3, and produced a normal calcium flux in mononuclear leukocytes. Both the wt and mutant proteins elicited an equal leukocyte chemotactic response within a solute diffusion gradient but, unlike the wt protein, the mutant failed to stimulate cell migration across a model endothelium. The number of leukocytes recruited to murine air pouches by the mutant sequence was lower than that recruited by wt CCL7. Furthermore, the presence of a mixture of a mutant and wt CCL7 within the air pouch elicited no significant cell accumulation. Cell recruitment also failed using a receptor-sharing mixture of mutant CCL7 and wt CCL5 or a nonreceptor sharing mixture of mutant CCL7 and wt CXCL12. The potential of the mutant sequence to modulate inflammation was confirmed by demonstration of its ability to inhibit the chemotactic response generated in vitro by synovial fluid from patients with active rheumatoid arthritis. A further series of experiments suggested that the non-GAG-binding mutant protein could potentially induce receptor desensitization before, and at a site remote from, any physiological recognition of GAG-bound chemokines. These data demonstrate that GAG binding is required for chemokine-driven inflammation in vivo and also suggest that a non-GAG-binding chemokine receptor agonist can inhibit the normal vectorial leukocyte migration mediated by chemokines.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the hypothesis that neutrophil chemotaxis to interleukin-8 (IL-8) is reduced in septic shock. Surface expression of neutrophil CXC chemokine receptors and the adhesion molecule CD11b were also examined and associations between disease severity, gas exchange and receptor expression were studied. DESIGN Prospective cohort clinical study. SETTING. Intensive care unit in a tertiary referral teaching hospital. PATIENTS Patients with septic shock ( n=15) and healthy controls ( n=8) were studied. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS Daily (for 5 consecutive days) flow cytometric measurements of chemokine and beta integrin surface expression. "In vitro" neutrophil chemotaxis to IL-8 was also compared between patients with sepsis and healthy controls. CXCR2 expression significantly fell, CD11b expression increased and CXCR1 expression was unchanged throughout the study in the septic group compared with healthy controls. CD11b positively correlated with increasing APACHE II scores ( p<0.0001) and worsening PaO(2)/FIO(2) ratios ( p<0.0001). CXCR2 expression negatively correlated with both APACHE II scores ( p=0.016) and PaO(2)/FIO(2) ratios ( p=0.01). There was no correlation between CXCR1 expression and either APACHE II score or PaO(2)/FIO(2) ratios. Chemotaxis to IL-8 was reduced in patients with sepsis compared with healthy volunteers. CONCLUSIONS Surface expression of the chemokine receptor CXCR2 and the beta-integrin CD11b, but not CXCR1, were reduced on neutrophils isolated from patients with septic shock compared with healthy controls. Chemotaxis to IL-8 was also reduced in neutrophils from septic patients compared with healthy controls. The changes in receptor expression correlated with measures of disease severity.

Abstract
Chemokines are small glycosaminoglycan (GAG) binding proteins that direct the migration of leukocytes by signaling through G protein coupled receptors (GPCR). Many viruses encode proteins that disrupt chemokine responses. The murine gammaherpesvirus-68 gene M3 encodes a chemokine binding protein (vCKBP-3), which has no sequence similarity to chemokine receptors. Initial characterization of vCKBP-3 showed that it inhibits receptor binding and chemokine-induced calcium influx. The structural requirements for the chemokines CXCL8 and CCL2 to bind to vCKBP-3 have been determined. Both chemokines bind to vCKBP-3 via their N-loop, a site that can participate in GAG binding for some chemokines. We have investigated the effect of vCKBP-3 on the interaction of chemokines with GAGs. We found that vCKBP-3 can prevent a range of chemokines from binding to GAGs. Moreover, we also found that vCKBP-3 can displace chemokines from a heparin-coated surface. Together, these data imply that vCKBP-3 can inhibit chemokine activity at two distinct levels. First, it inhibits chemokines from binding to their GPCR. Second, it inhibits their GAG binding and disrupts pre-formed chemokine gradients. This dual ability of vCKBP-3 makes it a more effective inhibitor of chemokine activity.

Abstract
Cell surface heparan sulfate (HS) influences a multitude of molecules, cell types, and processes relevant to inflammation. HS binds to cell surface and matrix proteins, cytokines, and chemokines. These interactions modulate inflammatory cell maturation and activation, leukocyte rolling, and tight adhesion to endothelium, as well as extravasation and chemotaxis. The syndecan family of transmembrane proteoglycans is the major source of cell surface HS on all cell types. Recent in vitro and in vivo data suggest the involvement of syndecans in the modulation of leukocyte-endothelial interactions and extravasation, the formation of chemokine and kininogen gradients, participation in chemokine and growth factor signaling, as well as repair processes. Thus, the complex role of HS in inflammation is reflected by multiple functions of its physiological carriers, the syndecans. Individual and common functions of the four mammalian syndecan family members can be distinguished. Recently generated transgenic and knockout mouse models will facilitate analysis of the individual processes that each syndecan is involved in.

Abstract
The CXC subfamily of chemokines plays an important role in diverse processes, including inflammation, wound healing, growth regulation, angiogenesis, and tumorigenesis. The ELR-CXC chemokine, CXCL1 or MGSA/GROalpha, is traditionally considered to attract neutrophils to sites of inflammation. The non-ELR-CXC chemokine, CXCL10 or IP-10, is chemotactic for monocytes, B cells, and activated T lymphocytes. In addition to its role in leukocyte migration, CXCL10 inhibits the angiogenic functions of the ELR-CXC chemokines as well as bFGF and VEGF. Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are required for the interaction of bFGF and vEGF ligands and their receptors. However, the role of HSPGs in regulating the ELR-chemokines signaling and biological functions is poorly understood. We show here that the CXCL1 maximal binding to CXCR2 expressed on HEK293 and CHO-K1 cells is dependent on the presence of cell surface HSPGs. The cell surface HSPGs on cells are required for CXCL1-induced PAK1 activation. Moreover, CXCL10 can inhibit CXCL1-induced PAK1 and ERK activation as well as the CXCL1-induced chemotaxis through decreasing CXCL1 binding to cell surface heparan sulfate. These data indicate that HSPGs are involved in modulating CXCL1-induced PAK1 activation and chemotaxis through regulating CXCL1 binding activity to CXCR2 receptor. CXCL10 inhibits CXCL1-induced PAK1 activation and chemotaxis by interfering with appropriate binding of CXCL1 to CXCR2 receptor.

Abstract
The chemokines are a family of small chemoattractant proteins that have a range of functions, including activation and promotion of vectorial migration of leukocytes. Regulation on activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted (RANTES; CCL5), a member of the CC-chemokine subfamily, has been implicated in a variety of immune responses. In addition to the interaction of CC-chemokines with their cognate cell-surface receptors, it is known that they also bind to glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), including heparan sulfate. This potential for binding to GAG components of proteoglycans on the cell surface or within the extracellular matrix might allow formation of the stable chemokine concentration gradients necessary for leukocyte chemotaxis. In this study, we created a panel of mutant RANTES molecules containing neutral amino acid substitutions within putative, basic GAG-binding domains. Despite showing reduced binding to GAGs, it was found that each mutant containing a single amino acid substitution induced a similar leukocyte chemotactic response within a concentration gradient generated by free solute diffusion. However, we found that the mutant K45A had a significantly reduced potential to stimulate chemotaxis across a monolayer of microvascular endothelial cells. Significantly, this mutant bound to the CCR5 receptor and showed a potential to mobilize Ca(2+) with an affinity similar to the wild-type protein. These results show that the interaction between RANTES and GAGs is not necessary for specific receptor engagement, signal transduction, or leukocyte migration. However, this interaction is required for the induction of efficient chemotaxis through the extracellular matrix between confluent endothelial cells.
