Oncotarget

Oncotarget (a primarily oncology-focused, peer-reviewed, open access journal) aims to maximize research impact through insightful peer-review; eliminate borders between specialties by linking different fields of oncology, cancer research and biomedical sciences; and foster application of basic and clinical science.

Its scope is unique. The term "oncotarget" encompasses all molecules, pathways, cellular functions, cell types, and even tissues that can be viewed as targets relevant to cancer as well as other diseases. The term was introduced in the inaugural Editorial, Introducing Oncotarget.

As of January 1, 2022, Oncotarget has shifted to a continuous publishing model. Papers will now be published continuously within yearly volumes in their final and complete form and then quickly released to Pubmed.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To explore the relationship between aging and the expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP) and cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant (CINCs) in patients with pneumonia.

Results: Bacteria counts in senile group were significantly higher than non-senile group, and while white blood cell and neutrophil counts in senile group were observably lower than non-senile group. The concentration of MCP-1 was significantly higher in senile group compared with the non-senile group, and the expression of CINC-1 and CINC-2α was also higher in senile group. In all patients with different pathogens, expression of all the factors was significantly higher in senile group compared with the non-senile group. What’s more, expression of MCP-1, CINC-1 and CINC-2α showed significant difference in some patients with different pathogens. CINC-2β and CINC-3 expression was not detected in both groups.

Materials and methods: The present study included 800 patients with pneumonia who were hospitalized to the Department of Respiratory Medicine in Tongji Hospital during the period from December of 2014 to June of 2016. All patients were divided into two groups: senile pneumonia and non-senile pneumonia group. Bacteria, white blood cell and neutrophil counts were determined by automatic blood cell analyzer. The expression of MCP-1, CINC-1, CINC-2α, CINC-2β and CINC-3 was determined by ELISA assay.

Conclusions: Aging can increase the expression of MCP-1,CINC-1 and CINC-2α in patients with pneumonia, which may lead to increased risk of pneumonia in the elderly.
