The chemotactic cytokine fractalkine (FKN, chemokine CX3CL1) has unique properties resulting from the combination of chemoattractants and adhesion molecules. The soluble form (sFKN) has chemotactic properties and potently attracts T cells and monocytes. The membrane-bound form (mFKN) facilitates diapedesis and is responsible for cell-to-cell adhesion, especially by promoting the strong adhesion of leukocytes (monocytes) to activated endothelial cells with the subsequent formation of an extracellular matrix and angiogenesis. FKN signaling occurs via CX3CR1, which is the only known member of the CX3C chemokine receptor subfamily. Signaling within the FKN-CX3CR1 axis plays an important role in many processes related to inflammation and the immune response, which often occur simultaneously and overlap. FKN is strongly upregulated by hypoxia and/or inflammation-induced inflammatory cytokine secretion, and it may act locally as a key angiogenic factor in the highly hypoxic tumor microenvironment. The importance of the FKN/CX3CR1 signaling pathway in tumorigenesis and cancer metastasis results from its influence on cell adhesion, apoptosis and cell migration. This review presents the role of the FKN signaling pathway in the context of angiogenesis in inflammation and cancer. The mechanisms determining the pro- or anti-tumor effects are presented, which are the cause of the seemingly contradictory results that create confusion regarding the therapeutic goals.

Fractalkine (CX3CL1/FKN) is a unique chemokine belonging to the CX3C chemokine subclass. FKN exists in two forms: a membrane-bound form expressed by both endometrium cells and trophoblasts thought to be implicated in maternal–fetal interaction and a soluble form expressed by endometrium cells. Endometrium receptivity is crucial in embryo implantation and a complex process regulated by large numbers of proteins, e.g., cytokines, progesterone receptor (PR), SOX-17, prostaglandin receptors (PTGER2), and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). It has also been reported that iron is important in fertility and affects the iron status of the mother. Therefore, iron availability in the embryo contributes to fertilization and pregnancy. In this study, we focused on the effect of iron deficiency on the secreted cytokines (IL-6, IL-1β, leukocyte inhibitory factor, TGF-β), chemokines (IL-8, FKN), and other regulatory proteins (bone morphogenic protein 2, activin, follistatin, PR, SOX-17, prostaglandin E2 receptor, TIMP2), and the modifying effect of FKN on the expression of these proteins, which may improve endometrium receptivity. Endometrial iron deficiency was mediated by desferrioxamine (DFO) treatment of HEC-1A cells. FKN was added to the cells 24 h and 48 h after DFO with or without serum for modelling the possible iron dependence of the alterations. Our findings support the hypothesis that FKN ameliorates the effects of anemia on the receptivity-related genes and proteins in HEC-1A cells by increasing the secretion of the receptivity-related cytokines via the fractalkine receptor (CX3CR1). FKN may contribute to cell proliferation and differentiation by regulating activin, follistatin, and BMP2 expressions, and to implantation by altering the protein levels of PR, SOX-17, PTGER2, and TIMP2. FKN mitigates the negative effect of iron deficiency on the receptivity-related genes and proteins of HEC-1A endometrium cells, suggesting its important role in the regulation of endometrium receptivity.
