Activity summary

CXCL1 also known as GRO alpha CXCL2 and GRO gamma refers to chemokines that are important in immune response. These chemokines are small proteins with a mass of about 8 kDa. They signal through the activation of the chemokine receptor CXCR2. CXCL1/GRO alpha CXCL2 and GRO gamma express in various tissues including epithelial cells and immune cells like neutrophils. They function by recruiting these immune cells to sites of inflammation or injury.

Biological function summary

CXCL1/GRO alpha CXCL2 and GRO gamma are involved in the recruitment and activation of neutrophils. Neutrophils are the first responders in the immune response. These chemokines play a role in angiogenesis and wound healing by stimulating the migration and proliferation of endothelial cells. They do not function as part of a larger protein complex but operate independently in signaling pathways. Their chemotactic activities are essential for proper immune surveillance and response to infections.

Pathways

These chemokines are integral to the NF-kB signaling pathway and MAPK pathway. Through these pathways they mediate inflammatory responses and cellular proliferation. CXCL1/GRO alpha and its family members interact with proteins such as CXCR2 and MAPK which help relay signals for gene expression related to inflammation and cell survival. Their interaction with these pathways highlights their role in initiating and modulating inflammatory processes.

Associated diseases and disorders

CXCL1/GRO alpha CXCL2 and GRO gamma have associations with inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and cancer especially melanoma. In rheumatoid arthritis these chemokines contribute to the recruitment of neutrophils and other immune cells to the joints leading to chronic inflammation. In cancer particularly melanoma they can promote tumor growth by enhancing angiogenesis and suppressing immune response due to the involvement of CXCR2 signaling. Understanding these chemokines involves examining proteins like CXCR2 which play a direct role in disease progression through these inflammatory and cancer pathways.
