Overview of Gene Research
Ackr1, previously known as the Duffy antigen receptor for chemokines (DARC), is a key regulator in the chemokine network. It binds chemokines involved in inflammatory responses, cancer proliferation, angiogenesis, and metastasis. Ackr1 controls chemokine gradients independently of G-proteins and has functions related to chemokine immobilization, cellular movement, and recruitment of effectors like β-arrestins [2].
In type A aortic dissection (TAAD), knockdown of Ackr1 in endothelial cells suppressed the NF-κB signaling pathway and SPP1 expression, reducing macrophage migration and polarization, thus inhibiting TAAD progression. Conversely, overexpression exacerbated TAAD. Amikacin, an Ackr1-targeted drug, regulated macrophage behavior via the Ackr1/NF-κB/SPP1 pathway, attenuating TAAD progression in mice [1]. In tendon adhesion, Ackr1 was verified to regulate FOLR2+ macrophage migration. Transplantation experiments using Ackr1 -/- chimeras showed that compared with wild-type chimeras, the decline of FOLR2+ macrophages was observed, indicating Ackr1's specific involvement in FOLR2+ macrophage migration [3].
In conclusion, Ackr1 plays a crucial role in regulating macrophage-related processes in diseases such as TAAD and tendon adhesion. Studies using gene knockout (KO) mouse models, like the Ackr1 -/- chimeras, have been instrumental in revealing its role in these disease conditions, providing potential therapeutic targets for these diseases.
