How can you use “chemoattractant” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The involvement of Rho GTPases in regulating integrin dependent events such as leukocyte homotypic aggregation and in chemokine upregulation of integrin-mediated adhesion has recently been identified [ 18 19 ] . ADP-ribosylation of Rho in neutrophils by treatment with C3 not only inhibits cellular locomotion, but augments chemoattractant induced actin polymerization [ 20 21 ] . Moreover, inactivation of Rho in monocytic cells leads to accelerated formation of filopodia, and it has been proposed that Rho is a negative regulator of actin polymerization within this cell type [ 22 ] . Active Rho is also required for normal morphology, motility, and cytolytic activity of IL-2 activated NK cells [ 23 24 ] . We and others have demonstrated the importance of Rho in T lymphocyte activation [ 25 26 ] . Given the role played by Rho in the regulation of actin microfilaments in other cell types, and the indispensability of a functional actin cytoskeleton in lymphocyte motility and activation, it is of importance to study Rho's role in the regulation of T lymphocyte integrin function and maintenance of cytoskeletal organization.
We screened for the presence of Th2 cells by assessing T cell expression of CCR4—a receptor for eotaxin/CCL11, macrophage chemoattractant protein 3 (CCL7), and thymus- and activation-regulated chemokine (CCL17) [40,41]—and CCR3, a receptor for eotaxin and related chemokines.
ADP-ribosylation of Rho proteins in chemoattractant stimulated neutrophils [ 20 21 ] and in both monocytic lines and fresh blood monocytes [ 22 38 ] results in actin filament polymerization.
2α receptor FP [ 35 44 ] . This particular endothelial cell type is unresponsive to PGF 2α treatment [ 35 ] in that PGF 2α treatment does not increase the secretion of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 [ 35 ] or stimulate well-recognized PGF 2α -responsive intracellular signaling pathways [ 35 36 ] . Lehmann, et al . [ 45 ] recently characterized a predominant cytokeratin-negative endothelial cell type in the bovine CL in addition to a "rare" cytokeratin-positive endothelial cell type.
Because tissues treated with cCAF have more FN and TN at the time that these cells are entering the wound and chemokines are well known for their chemoattractant properties [ 34 35 ] , we tested whether cCAF stimulates chemotaxis of fibroblasts using transwell assays.
