CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL11/CXCR3 axis for immune activation - a target for novel cancer therapy
Open accessAbstract
Chemokines are proteins which induce chemotaxis, promote differentiation of immune cells, and cause tissue extravasation. Given these properties, their role in anti-tumor immune response in the cancer environment is of great interest. Although immunotherapy has shown clinical benefit for some cancer patients, other patients do not respond. One of the mechanisms of resistance to checkpoint inhibitors may be chemokine signaling. The CXCL9, -10, -11/CXCR3 axis regulates immune cell migration, differentiation, and activation, leading to tumor suppression (paracrine axis). However, there are some reports that show involvements of this axis in tumor growth and metastasis (autocrine axis). Thus, a better understanding of CXCL9, -10, -11/CXCR3 axis is necessary to develop effective cancer control. In this article, we summarize recent evidence regarding CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL11/CXCR3 axis in the immune system and discuss their potential role in cancer treatment.

The CXCL9/10/11-CXCR3 pathway is well known for recruiting and activating cytotoxic T cells.
“The relevance of the CXCL9/10/11-CXCR3 pathway for recruiting and triggering cytotoxic T cells is well known (47-50,64).”
CXCL9, CXCL10, and CXCL11 are CXCR3 ligands that promote trafficking of CD8+CXCR3+ T cells into tumors.
“CXCL9/10/11 are ligands of the CXCR3 receptor involved in increased trafficking of CD8+CXCR3+ T cells to tumors (47,48,64).”
Because CXCL11 is nonfunctional in C57BL/6 mice, it was measured only in the FVB MCa-M3C tumor model.
“CXCL11 is not functional in C57BL/6 mice, so it was only quantified in the MCa-M3C tumor model in FVB mice (48).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
