“…CCR5 and its ligands, particularly CCL5 have been thought to support tumor growth either directly, by driving the migration of tumor cells to tumor sites, and mostly by recruiting MDSC and dendritic cells to the tumor site [ 96 , 97 , 98 , 99 , 100 ]. Many studies showed a clear link between CCR5 and CCR5 ligands polymorphism or differential gene signature and several cancer diseases, among them: prostate cancer, breast cancer, glioblastoma, myeloid leukemia, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), metastatic melanoma, metastatic colorectal cancer and others [ 98 , 99 , 101 , 102 , 103 , 104 , 105 , 106 , 107 , 108 , 109 , 110 , 111 , 112 , 113 , 114 , 115 , 116 , 117 , 118 , 119 , 120 , 121 , 122 , 123 , 124 , 125 , 126 , 127 , 128 ]. Following Balistreri et al [ 129 ] that observed a very low prevalence of prostate cancer in men with CCR5 delta 32 mutations, which also confers HIV resistance, we have used mice lacking CCR5 to uncover the contribution of CCR5 to the cancer resistance and found that in these mice accumulation of MDSC at the tumor site is inadequate [ 130 ].…”
