Abstract

Chemokine Receptor Extracellular Loop Intracellular Loop Neural Precursor Cell Postmitotic Neuron
Chemokines and their receptors constitute a subfamily of chemotactic cytokines that have well-characterized roles in the immune system that include control of homeostatic maintenance as well as regulation of inflammatory responses. In central nervous system, they are implicated in its development as well as neuropathology of several neurodegenerative and inflammatory disorders including neuroAIDS. In this chapter, the current knowledge about the chemokine receptor signaling has been reviewed with a focus on neuroAIDS. In particular, chemokine receptors that play significant roles in the various aspects of neuropathology of AIDS, i.e. CXCR4, CCR5, CCR2, and CXCR3 have been discussed. In addition, this chapter lays emphasis on specific signaling pathways such as the regulation of cell cycle proteins by CXCR4; some of these proteins could potentially be utilized as biomarkers and yield targets for the future development of therapeutic intervention.
