As a critical subfamily of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), chemokine receptors (CCRs) play pivotal regulatory roles in immune cell migration, inflammatory modulation, tissue regeneration, and tumor microenvironment (TME) remodeling. By specifically recognizing chemokine ligands, CCRs orchestrate immune cell trafficking and tissue positioning, with functional dysregulation implicated in infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders, neurodegenerative pathologies, and cancer. These receptors thus represent promising therapeutic targets. Recent breakthroughs in cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and computational chemistry have enabled high-resolution structural analysis and dynamic conformational modeling of CCRs, establishing a robust foundation for structure-based drug design (SBDD). This review synthesizes current advances in CCR biology, structural mechanisms, disease involvement, and targeted drug development, providing theoretical insights and technical frameworks for future research.
作为G蛋白偶联受体(GPCRs)的一个关键亚家族,趋化因子受体(CCRs)在免疫细胞迁移、炎症调节、组织再生和肿瘤微环境(TME)重塑中发挥着关键的调节作用。通过特异性识别趋化因子配体,CCRs协调免疫细胞运输和组织定位,其功能失调与传染病、自身免疫性疾病、神经退行性疾病和癌症有关。因此,这些受体是很有前景的治疗靶点。冷冻电子显微镜(cryo-EM)和计算化学的最新突破使得对CCRs进行高分辨率结构分析和动态构象建模成为可能,为基于结构的药物设计(SBDD)奠定了坚实基础。本综述综合了CCR生物学、结构机制、疾病关联和靶向药物开发方面的当前进展,为未来研究提供了理论见解和技术框架。
