TypeGene ModificationChromosome rearrangementProtein expressionProtein Function
tumoral     --over  
in myeloma Bone marrow (BM) positively correlated with the percentage of BM-infiltrating macrophages
tumoral     --over  
in the plasma of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, and CCL3 inhibited erythroid differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells, common myeloid progenitors and especially megakaryocytic-erythroid progenitors

CCL2 and CCL3 are upregulated in the injured peripheral nerve through epigenetic histone modification in infiltrating immune cells such as macrophages
Susceptibility
  • to multiple sclerosis
  • to HIV/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) (Omim: 609423)
  • Variant & Polymorphism SNP
  • increasing the risk of multiple sclerosis
  • influencing HIV Type 1 transmission and AIDS disease progression
  • Candidate gene
    Marker
  • autoantibody against CCL3 is associated with human type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and serves as a novel biomarker for its diagnosis
  • specifically predicts future cardiovascular events, and may serve as a predictive biomarker
  • CCL2 and CCL3 are associated with progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and may be potential biomarkers
  • decreased preclinical CCL3 and CCL4 levels might be associated with a subsequently increased risk of nasopharyngeal carcinoma
  • Therapy target

    Pharmacological modulation of the CCL3 pathways might, therefore, represent a future therapeutic option to manage Streptococcus pneumoniae meningitis

    inhibition of MIP-1α may thus provide a new therapeutic approach to control tumor progression and bone destruction in patients with multiple myeloma (MM)
    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • homozygous knockout mice
  • CCL3-/- mice had loss of mature myeloid populations, while myeloid progenitors and HSPCs were increased, and microenvironmental populations were unchanged
