Chemokines are a group of pro-inflammatory peptides that mediate leukocyte migration and activation. Several members of the chemokine family have been shown to be synthesized by cells of the central nervous system (CNS). To begin to address the role of chemokine receptors in CNS physiology, we identified, by molecular cloning techniques, the rat orthologs of the chemokine receptors, CCR2, CCR3, CCR5, and CXCR4. CCR2 and CCR5 expression was detected in rat spleen, lung, kidney, thymus and macrophages; CCR5 mRNA was also detected in rat brain. Primary cultures of rat microglia expressed CCR5 mRNA that was regulated by IFN-gamma, while both cultured astrocytes and microglia were found to contain mRNA for CXCR4 and CX3CR1. Induction of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) in the rat was accompanied by increased levels of CCR2, CCR5, CXCR4, and CX3CR1 mRNAs in the lumbar spinal cords of animals displaying clinical signs of the disease. These data identify the rat orthologs of chemokine receptors and demonstrate that brain, spinal cord, and cultured glial cells express chemokine receptors that can be regulated both in vitro and in vivo.

D004681 Encephalomyelitis, Autoimmune, Experimental An experimental animal model for central nervous system demyelinating disease. Inoculation with a white matter emulsion combined with FREUND'S ADJUVANT, myelin basic protein, or purified central myelin triggers a T cell-mediated immune response directed towards central myelin. The pathologic features are similar to MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, including perivascular and periventricular foci of inflammation and demyelination. Subpial demyelination underlying meningeal infiltrations also occurs, which is also a feature of ENCEPHALOMYELITIS, ACUTE DISSEMINATED. Passive immunization with T-cells from an afflicted animal to a normal animal also induces this condition.
