Macrophage Inflammatory Proteins (MIP) belong to the family of chemotactic cytokines known as chemokines. In humans, there are two major forms, MIP-1α and MIP-1β, renamed CCL3 and CCL4 respectively, since 2000.[3] However, other names are sometimes encountered in older literature, such as LD78α, AT 464.1 and GOS19-1 for human CCL3 and AT 744, Act-2, LAG-1, HC21 and G-26 for human CCL4.[4] Other macrophage inflammatory proteins include MIP-2, MIP-3 and MIP-5.
MIP-1
MIP-1α and MIP-1β are major factors produced by
They are produced by many cells, particularly macrophages, dendritic cells, and lymphocytes.[10] MIP-1 are best known for their chemotactic and proinflammatory effects but can also promote homeostasis.[10] Biophysical analyses and mathematical modelling has shown that MIP-1 reversibly forms a polydisperse distribution of rod-shaped polymers in solution. Polymerization buries receptor-binding sites of MIP-1, thus depolymerization mutations enhance MIP-1 to arrest monocytes onto activated human endothelium.[6]
MIP-1γ is another macrophage inflammatory protein and according to the new nomenclature is named CCL9.[3] It is produced mainly by follicle-associated epithelial cells and is responsible for chemotaxis of dendritic cells and macrophages into Peyer's patches in gut through binding of CCR1.[11]
MIP-1δ or MIP-5 (CCL15) binds also CCR1 and CCR3.[3]
MIP-2
MIP-2 belongs to the CXC chemokine family, is named
MIP-3
There are two chemokines in the MIP-3 group. MIP-3α (CCL20) and MIP-3β (CCL19).[3]
MIP-3α is binding to receptor CCR6.[13] CCL20 is produced by mucosa and skin by activated epithelial cells and attracts Th17 cells to the site of inflammation. It is also produced by Th17 cells themselves.[14] It further attracts activated B cells, memory T cells and immature dendritic cells and has part in migration of these cells in secondary lymphoid organs.[15][16] Mature dendritic cells down-regulate CCR6 and up-regulate CCR7, which is receptor for MIP-3β.[15]
MIP-3β (CCL19) is produced by stromal cells in T-cell zones of secondary lymphoid organs and binds to CCR7 receptor through which attracts mature dendritic cells to lymph nodes. It is also produced by dendritic cells and attracts also naive T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes to homing into the lymph node, where antigens can be presented to them by dendritic cells.[17]
MIP-5
MIP-5 (sometimes called MIP-1δ) or CCL15 binds to receptors CCR1 and CCR3. It has chemotactic properties for monocytes and eosinophils and is expressed by macrophages, basophils and some tissue cells. It is proposed to have a role in pathology of asthma.[18]
