Chemokine receptor CXCR4 and its ligand CXCL12 expressions and clinical significance in bladder cancer

Abstract: ABSTRACT.It is well known that chemokine receptors and their ligands play important roles in mediating the invasion and metastasis of malignant tumors. This aim of this study was to investigate the expression and clinical significance of chemokine receptor CXCR4 and its ligand CXCL12 in bladder tumor tissues. Cancerous and adjacent normal bladder tissues were collected from 42 patients. The expressions of CXCR4 and CXCL12 proteins were then detected by immunohistochemistry, and the expressions of CXCR4 and CXC… Show more

“…Scientists have recently discovered that the deactivation of chemokines may implicate the initiation or progression of a variety of tumors. [19][20][21] For example, Miyake et al 18 discovered that the higher expression of CXCL1 is associated with the aggressiveness of human BC. Researches have been carried out to reveal the effects of CXCs and CCs on malignant tumors.…”
