The chemokine, C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 12 (CXCL12) and its G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) and C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4), are closely associated with promoting hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) chemotaxis and metastasis.

C-X-C chemokine receptor CXCR4 mediates diurnal changes in the aggregation and dispersion of CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells within the tumor microenvironment. [PDF]
What's new? In addition to governing daily variations in biological activity, the circadian clock regulates immune cell migration into tumors. Whether this influence extends to immune cell localization within the tumor microenvironment (TME) is unknown. Here, using cell and animal models, the authors investigated immune cell distribution within the TME

Prognostic and predictive value of circulating tumor cells and CXCR4 expression as biomarkers for a CXCR4 peptide antagonist in combination with carboplatin-etoposide in small cell lung cancer: exploratory analysis of a phase II study. [PDF]
Background Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 4 (CXCR4) expression in CTCs and tumor tissue were evaluated as prognostic or predictive markers of CXCR4 peptide antagonist LY2510924 plus carboplatin-etoposide (CE) versus ...

Senescent Tumor Cells Build a Cytokine Shield in Colorectal Cancer
Cellular senescence can either support or inhibit cancer progression. Here, it is shown that intratumoral infiltration of CD8+ T cells is negatively associated with the proportion of senescent tumor cells in colorectal cancer (CRC).

Activation of fibroblast-like synoviocytes derived from rheumatoid arthritis via lysophosphatidic acid-lysophosphatidic acid receptor 1 cascade [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a bioactive lipid that binds to G protein–coupled receptors (LPA(1–6)). Recently, we reported that abrogation of LPA receptor 1 (LPA(1)) ameliorated murine collagen-induced arthritis, probably via inhibition ...

Roles of Major Chemokines in the Pathophysiology of Atrial Fibrillation
Chemokines are a subclass of cytokines, a large family of small secreted proteins that communicate via G protein-coupled heptahelical chemokine receptors on the cell surface.
