The biological role of the CXCL12/CXCR4 axis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
Esophageal cancer is the eighth most common malignant tumor and the sixth leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is the main histological type of esophageal cancer, and accounts for 90% of all cancer ...

CXCL12-PLGA/Pluronic Nanoparticle Internalization Abrogates CXCR4-Mediated Cell Migration
Chemokine-induced chemotaxis mediates physiological and pathological immune cell trafficking, as well as several processes involving cell migration. Among them, the role of CXCL12/CXCR4 signaling in cancer and metastasis is well known, and CXCR4 has been

CXCL12/CXCR4 axis: an emerging neuromodulator in pathological pain [PDF]
The roles of chemokine C-X-C motif ligand 12 (CXCL12) and its receptor chemokine C-X-C motif receptor 4 (CXCR4) reveal this chemokine axis as an emerging neuromodulator in the nervous system. In the peripheral and central nervous systems, both CXCL12 and

Effects of the chemokine CXCL12 on dendritic spine dynamics
Dendritic spines are structural substrates for learning and memory and their pruning is associated with cognitive decline in conditions like Alzheimer's Disease and HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND). Our past studies in a rodent model of HAND (HIV-transgenic rat, HIV-Tg) revealed that dendritic spine loss and related cognitive deficits can

The chemokine CXCL12 regulates monocyte-macrophage differentiation and RUNX3 expression [PDF]
Abstract Monocytes are versatile cells that can express different functional programs in response to microenvironmental signals. We show that primary blood monocytes secrete the CXCL12 chemokine, and express the CXCR4 and CXCR7 receptors, leading to an autocrine/paracrine loop that contribute to shape monocyte differentiation to a ...

The diagnostic significance of the chemokine CXCL12 in Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundA complex relationship between the stromal cell‐derived factor 1 (CXCL12) and dementia, including mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been described in the literature. The chemokine CXCL12 regulates many functions of bone marrow‐derived stem cells and has been implicated in neurogenesis as well as with the
