Chemokines are small, secreted proteins and are now the largest known cytokine family. They mediate their effects through a family of G-protein-coupled receptors and were initially recognized for their ability to act as chemo-attractants and activators of specific types of leucocytes in a variety of immune and inflammatory responses. However, during the past 5 years there has been a chemokine revolution in cancer and all scientists and clinicians in oncology-related fields are now aware of…

The role of CXC chemokines and their receptors in the progression and treatment of tumors
TLDR
The CXC chemokine class is a subfamily of a large family of chemokines that is closely related to the body’s immune response to tumors and biological behaviors of tumors.
Chemokine-chemokine receptors in cancer immunotherapy.
TLDR
This review will focus on chemokines and chemokine receptor network-related therapeutic interventions that utilize host-tumor interactions particularly involving the immune system.
Butein downregulates chemokine receptor CXCR4 expression and function through suppression of NF-κB activation in breast and pancreatic tumor cells.
The role of the chemokine receptor CXCR4 in EGFRvIII-expressing breast cancer
The ligand-independent, constitutively active Epidermal Growth Fact or Receptor (EGFR) variant, EGFRvIII, is a potent tumor-specific on ogene found in many human cancers, including breast cancer.…
Plumbagin inhibits invasion and migration of breast and gastric cancer cells by downregulating the expression of chemokine receptor CXCR4
TLDR
Investigation of the potential of an agent, plumbagin, for its ability to modulate CXCR4 expression and function in various tumor cells shows that it is a novel blocker of CX CR4 Expression and thus has the potential to suppress metastasis of cancer.
Structure-based design of inhibitors of CXCR4
TLDR
This dissertation will utilize structure based drug design to identify inhibitors of CXCR4 targeting the extracellular surface of the receptor, as well as the intracellular interface between the GPCR and G-protein.
Thymoquinone Inhibits Bone Metastasis of Breast Cancer Cells Through Abrogation of the CXCR4 Signaling Axis
TLDR
The results indicate that TQ primarily exerts its anti-metastatic effects by down-regulation of NF-κB regulated CXCR4 expression and thus has potential for the treatment of breast cancer.
Inhibition of CXCR4/CXCL12 signaling axis by ursolic acid leads to suppression of metastasis in transgenic adenocarcinoma of mouse prostate model
TLDR
The experimental findings suggest that UA exerts its antimetastatic effects through the suppression of CXCR4 expression in prostate cancer both in vitro and in vivo.
CXCL12/CXCR4 signaling promotes human thymic dendritic cell survival regulating the Bcl-2/Bax ratio.
Zerumbone down-regulates chemokine receptor CXCR4 expression leading to inhibition of CXCL12-induced invasion of breast and pancreatic tumor cells.
TLDR
The results show that zerumbone is a novel inhibitor of CXCR4 expression and thus has a potential in the suppression of cancer metastasis.

Expression of functional CXCR4 chemokine receptors on human colonic epithelial cells.
TLDR
A role for CXCR4 in maintenance and renewal of the colonic epithelium is suggested, suggesting that this receptor, which also serves as a coreceptor for HIV, may mediate viral infection of Colonic epithelial cells.
CXCR4–SDF-1 Signalling, Locomotion, Chemotaxis and Adhesion
TLDR
The role of the SDF-1–CXCR4 axis in regulating the metastatic behaviour of tumour cells is focused on and the molecular mechanisms that are essential to this process are discussed.

Functional expression of chemokine receptor CXCR4 on human epithelial cells
TLDR
A549 cells responded to the CXCR4 ligand, stromal‐derived factor‐1 α (SDF‐1α) with a rapid and robust calcium mobilization and not to other CXC chemokines, suggesting that CX CR4 is functionally active and is able to couple to G‐protein signalling mechanisms.
Chemokine Receptors in Human Endothelial Cells
TLDR
Exercise of CXCR4 in EC is significant, more so as it and several CC chemokine receptors have been shown to serve as fusion co-receptors along with CD4 during human immunodeficiency virus infection.
The chemokine receptor CXCR4 is essential for vascularization of the gastrointestinal tract
TLDR
PBSF/SDF-1 and CXCR4 define a new signalling system for organ vascularization, and it is reported that CX CR4 is expressed in developing vascular endothelial cells, and that mice lacking CxCR4 or PBSF/ sdf-1 have defective formation of the large vessels supplying the gastrointestinal tract.
The lymphocyte chemoattractant SDF-1 is a ligand for LESTR/fusin and blocks HIV-1 entry
TLDR
Testing of potential receptors demonstrated that SDF-1 signalled through, and hence 'adopted', the orphan receptor LESTR, which is therefore designated CXC-chemokine receptor-4 (CXCR-4).
Identification of a CXCR4 antagonist, a T140 analog, as an anti‐rheumatoid arthritis agent
Expression of CXCR4 and its down-regulation by IFN-gamma in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
TLDR
Immunohistologic analysis revealed that patients with advanced neck status and patients who developed distant metastases showed significantly higher CXCR4 expression, and the cause-specific survival of patients with CxCR4-expression was significantly shorter, and multivariate analysis confirmed that CX CR4 positive was the independent factor for cause- specific death.
Expression of CXC chemokine receptor-4 enhances the pulmonary metastatic potential of murine B16 melanoma cells.
TLDR
CXCR4 plays a potentially important role in promoting organ-selective metastasis, possibly by stimulating tumor adhesion to microvascular endothelial cells and by enhancing the growth of tumor cells under stress.
