A locked, dimeric CXCL12 variant effectively inhibits pulmonary metastasis of CXCR4-expressing melanoma cells due to enhanced serum stability.
The CXC chemokine receptor-4 (CXCR4) plays a critical role in cancer by positively regulating cancer cell metastasis and survival. We previously showed that high concentrations of the CXCR4 ligand, wild-type CXCL12 (wtCXCL12), could inhibit colorectal cancer metastasis in vivo, and we have hypothesized that wtCXCL12 dimerizes at high concentration to become a potent antagonist of CXCR4. To addr...

متن کاملMonomeric and dimeric CXCL12 inhibit metastasis through distinct CXCR4 interactions and signaling pathways.
Chemokines and chemokine receptors are extensively and broadly involved in cancer metastasis. Previously, we demonstrated that epigenetic silencing of the chemokine CXCL12 sensitizes breast and colon cancer cells to endocrine signaling and metastasis to distant tissues. Yet, the precise mechanism whereby CXCL12 production by tumor cells regulates dissemination remains unclear. Here, we show tha...
متن کاملCXCR4 enhances adhesion of B16 tumor cells to endothelial cells in vitro and in vivo via beta(1) integrin.
The chemokine receptor, CXCR4, is expressed by human melanomas, and its ligand, CXCL12, is frequently produced at sites of melanoma metastasis. Herein, we examine CXCR4-enhanced binding of B16 murine melanoma cells to endothelial cells (ECs) and recombinant adhesion molecules in vitro to determine the role of tumor- and EC-derived adhesion molecules in tumor metastasis. By flow cytometry, unsti...
متن کامل"CXCR4-CXCL12 and VEGF correlate to uveal melanoma progression".
Despite improvements in early diagnosis of uveal melanoma, prognosis is still poor due to metastases development. Neoangiogenesis and migration are requisites to metastasis promotion. Cross-talking between CXCR4-CXCL12 axis and the VEGF pathway was shown to favours tumour progression. CXCR4-CXCL12-VEGF expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry in 53 selected cases of primary uveal melano...
