DC chemokine receptors and chemokines


Receptors

Receptor expression on DCs

Ligands

Ligand expression by DCs

Notes
CCR1 and CCR5   Immature DCs   CCL3 (MIP-1α)   Mature DCs (some stimuli only)   CCL3, 4, and 5 are also secreted by activated inflammatory cells and activated endothelium  
   CCL4 (MIP-1β)    
   CCL5 (RANTES)    
CCR2   Immature DCs   CCL2 (MCP-1)   Not expressed   CCL2 is secreted by activated monocytes, macrophages and endothelium  
CCR4   Immature DCs   CCL17 (TARC)   Mature DCs (some stimuli only)   CCR4 is preferentially expressed on Th2 cells, and TARC and MDC can promote Th2 responses.  
   CCL22 (MDC)    
CCR6   Immature DCs (some subsets only)   CCL20 (MIP-3α)   Not expressed   CCL20 is expressed by activated monocytes and lymphocytes  
CCR7   Mature DCs   CCL19 (MIP-3β)   Not expressed   CCL19 and 21 are expressed in T-cell zones of lymph nodes and spleen, lymphatic endothelium, and lymph node high endothelial venules  
   CCL21 (SLC)    
CXCR1 and CXCR2   Immature DCs   CXCL8 (IL-8)   Mature DCs   IL-8 is a mediator of neutrophil recruitment  
CXCR3   Not expressed   CXCL10 (IP-10)   Mature DCs (some stimuli only)   IP-10 attracts IFNγ-producing T cells, which express CXCR3, and can promote Th1 responses.  
CXCR4
 
Mature > Immature
 
CXCL12 (SDF-1)
 
Not expressed
 
SDF-1 is a chemoattractant for lymphocytes and monocytes. CXCR4 is also a coreceptor for T-cell-trophic strains of HIV

CCR indicates CC motif chemokine receptor; CCL, CC motif chemokine ligand; MIP, macrophage inflammatory protein; RANTES, regulated on activation, normally T-expressed, and presumably secreted; MCP, monocyte chemoattractant protein; TARC, thymus and activation-regulated chemokine; MDC, macrophage-derived chemokine; SLC, secondary lymphoid chemokine; CXCR, CXC motif chemokine receptor; CXCL, CXC motif chemokine ligand; IP-10, IFNγ-inducible 10-kDa protein; SDF-1, stromal cell-derived factor 1; HIV, human immunodeficiency virus.
