Abstract

Chemokines are a superfamily of homologous heparin-binding proteins, first described for their role in recruiting leukocytes to sites of inflammation. Chemokines have since been recognized as key factors mediating both physiological and pathological neovascularization in such diverse clinical settings as malignancy, wound repair, chronic fibroproliferative disorders, myocardial ischemia, and atherosclerosis. Members of the CXC chemokine family, structurally defined as containing the ELR amino acid motif, are potent inducers of angiogenesis, whereas another subset of the CXC chemokines inhibits angiogenesis. In addition, CCL2, a CC chemokine ligand, has been implicated in arteriogenesis. In this article, we review the current literature on the role of chemokines as mediators of neovascularization.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • CXCL9 inhibits neovascularization.

    “CXCL9 also inhibits neovascularization (83) and has anti-tumor and anti-metastatic effects (74).”
  • CXCL10 is secreted by monocytes, macrophages, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells.

    “CXCL10, or interferon gamma-induced protein 10, is secreted not only by monocytes and macrophages, but also by fibroblasts and endothelial cells (83).”

    From Macrophage Cytokines: Involvement in Immunity and Infectious Diseases (2014) · cites this paper as [83]

    The Introduction identifies CXCL10 as IP-10 and says it is induced by interferons, but it does not identify which cells secrete it. Searches for CXCL10 production or secretion by monocytes, macrophages, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells found no passage in our copy addressing that claim. (LLM, conf=0.72)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
