Other Information

**Key Characteristics** CCL3 is a 8-kDa protein consisting of 70-80 amino acids, with a characteristic C-C motif chemokine structure. It is primarily produced by monocytes, macrophages, and other immune cells, but can also be expressed by other cell types, such as astrocytes, neurons, and decidual natural killer cells. CCL3 is a potent chemoattractant for various immune cells, including T cells, B cells, neutrophils, and macrophages, and is involved in the recruitment of these cells to sites of inflammation. **Pathways and Functions** CCL3 is involved in several signaling pathways, including: 1. **Chemokine-mediated signaling pathway**: CCL3 binds to its receptors, CCR1 and CCR5, on the surface of immune cells, triggering a signaling cascade that regulates chemotaxis, cell activation, and cytokine production. 2. **Calcium-mediated signaling**: CCL3 can activate calcium channels, leading to an increase in intracellular calcium concentrations, which regulates various cellular processes, including cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation. 3. **G-protein coupled receptor signaling pathway**: CCL3 binds to G protein-coupled receptors, triggering a signaling cascade that regulates cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation. 4. **Interleukin-1 signaling pathway**: CCL3 can regulate the production of interleukin-1 (IL-1), a pro-inflammatory cytokine, by binding to its receptor, IL-1R. 5. **Tumor necrosis factor signaling pathway**: CCL3 can regulate the production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF), a pro-inflammatory cytokine, by binding to its receptor, TNFR. CCL3 plays a crucial role in various biological processes, including: 1. **Immune cell trafficking**: CCL3 is involved in the recruitment of immune cells to sites of inflammation, infection, and cancer. 2. **Inflammation**: CCL3 is a potent pro-inflammatory cytokine, involved in the regulation of inflammatory responses and the development of autoimmune disorders. 3. **Cell migration**: CCL3 regulates the migration of immune cells, including T cells, B cells, and macrophages, to sites of inflammation and infection. 4. **Neuroprotection**: CCL3 has been shown to have neuroprotective effects, regulating the migration and activation of microglial cells, which are involved in the regulation of neuronal function and survival. **Clinical Significance** CCL3 has been implicated in various diseases, including: 1. **Autoimmune disorders**: CCL3 has been shown to play a role in the development of autoimmune disorders, such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus. 2. **Cancer**: CCL3 has been implicated in the development and progression of various cancers, including breast cancer, lung cancer, and colon cancer. 3. **Cardiovascular diseases**: CCL3 has been shown to play a role in the development of cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis and heart failure. 4. **Neurological disorders**: CCL3 has been implicated in the development of neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis. In conclusion, CCL3 is a small cytokine that plays a crucial role in the regulation of immune responses, inflammation, and cell migration. Its dysregulation has been implicated in various diseases, including autoimmune disorders, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases. Further research is needed to fully understand the role of CCL3 in human health and disease.
