Function

Chemokine that acts as a ligand for both CX3CR1 and integrins ITGAV:ITGB3 and ITGA4:ITGB1 (PubMed:12055230, PubMed:21829356, PubMed:23125415, PubMed:9782118, PubMed:9931005). The CX3CR1-CX3CL1 signaling exerts distinct functions in different tissue compartments, such as immune response, inflammation, cell adhesion and chemotaxis (PubMed:12055230, PubMed:9024663, PubMed:9177350, PubMed:9782118). Regulates leukocyte adhesion and migration processes at the endothelium (PubMed:9024663, PubMed:9177350). Can activate integrins in both a CX3CR1-dependent and CX3CR1-independent manner (PubMed:23125415, PubMed:24789099). In the presence of CX3CR1, activates integrins by binding to the classical ligand-binding site (site 1) in integrins (PubMed:23125415, PubMed:24789099). In the absence of CX3CR1, binds to a second site (site 2) in integrins which is distinct from site 1 and enhances the binding of other integrin ligands to site 1 (PubMed:23125415, PubMed:24789099). Processed fractalkine. The soluble form is chemotactic for T-cells and monocytes, but not for neutrophils. Fractalkine. The membrane-bound form promotes adhesion of those leukocytes to endothelial cells. (Microbial infection) Mediates the cytoadherence of erythrocytes infected with parasite P.falciparum (strain 3D7) with endothelial cells by interacting with P.falciparum CBP1 and CBP2 expressed at the surface of erythrocytes (PubMed:27653778). The adhesion prevents the elimination of infected erythrocytes by the spleen (Probable).

Activity summary

CX3CL1 also known as fractalkine is a chemokine protein characterized mechanically by its dual function as both a chemoattractant and adhesion molecule. It exhibits a unique membrane-bound structure and can exist in a soluble form after proteolytic cleavage. The mass of CX3CL1 is approximately 42-45 kDa. This protein is highly expressed in endothelial cells neurons and tissues with substantial vascularization. Considerable interest surrounds the potential of CX3CL1 assessment in various studies often involving applications like fractalkine ELISA or assays on mouse models.

Biological function summary

CX3CL1 is involved in the immune system and nervous system functions influencing leukocyte adhesion and migration. It is not known to be part of a large multiprotein complex but directly interacts with its fractalkine receptor CX3CR1 on the surface of immune cells. This interaction regulates communication between neurons and microglia which highlights its role in neuroinflammation. CX3CL1's expression and function suggest a significant influence over inflammatory responses and homeostatic balance within these systems.

Pathways

CX3CL1 plays a role in the MAPK and PI3K-Akt pathways vital for cell survival proliferation and migration. Within these pathways CX3CL1 influences and interacts with several proteins thereby modulating inflammatory responses and cellular migration. These pathways are essential for immune system regulation where CX3CL1 acts as a mediator in signal transduction processes that connect immune responses to cellular activities such as proliferation and survival.

Associated diseases and disorders

CX3CL1 has associations with neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease and inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Alterations in CX3CL1 expression or its fractalkine receptor function can influence disease progression by affecting how immune cells communicate and migrate to inflamed or damaged tissues. CX3CR1 the receptor for CX3CL1 represents an important link in these connections driving research efforts to explore therapies targeting these interactions to alleviate disease symptoms.

    Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-CX3CL1 antibody (ab25088)

    ab25088 (4µg/ml) staining CX3CL1 in human lung using an automated system (DAKO Autostainer Plus). Using this protocol there is staining of the cytoplasmic region of the cells.
    Sections were rehydrated and antigen retrieved with the Dako 3 in 1 AR buffers EDTA pH 9.0 in a DAKO PT link. Slides were peroxidase blocked in 3% H2O2 in methanol for 10 mins. They were then blocked with Dako Protein block for 10 minutes (containing casein 0.25% in PBS) then incubated with primary antibody for 20 min and detected with Dako envision flex amplification kit for 30 minutes. Colorimetric detection was completed with Diaminobenzidine for 5 minutes. Slides were counterstained with Haematoxylin and coverslipped under DePeX. Please note that, for manual staining, optimization of primary antibody concentration and incubation time is recommended. Signal amplification may be required.

    Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-CX3CL1 antibody (ab25088)

    ICC/IF image of ab25088 stained HeLa cells. The cells were 4% PFA fixed (10 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab25088, 1μg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43μM.
