چکیده

The CC-chemokine receptor 7 (CCR7) coordinates the migration of cancer cells as well as immune cells towards lymphatic organs where its two ligands CCL19 and CCL21 are constitutively expressed. Here we provide a topological model of CCR7, which belongs to the class A of G-protein coupled, seven-transmembrane spanning receptors, and describe how CCR7 expression is regulated. We focus on its role in cancer cell migration and metastasis formation and discuss how cancer cells can utilize CCR7 or its ligands to escape from immune surveillance.

Effect of chemokine receptors CXCR4 and CCR7 on the metastatic behavior of human colorectal cancer.

PURPOSE The expression of chemokine receptors CXCR4 and CCR7 has been associated with tumor dissemination and poor prognosis in a limited number of tumor entities. However, no data are currently available on the impact of chemokine receptor expression on disease progression and prognosis in human colorectal cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN The expression of CXCR4 and CCR7 was evaluated in 96 patie...

Association of CC chemokine receptor 7 with lymph node metastasis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

PURPOSE CC chemokine receptor 7 (CCR7) plays a critical role in the migration of activated dendritic cells to regional lymph nodes. Recent studies have shown that CCR7 is involved in metastasis in some malignant diseases. The role of CCR7 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) has not yet been clarified. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We performed reverse transcription-PCR analysis for CCR7 in 20 e...

CCL21 modulates the migration of NSCL cancer by changing the concentration of intracellular Ca2+.

Recurrence and metastasis are the major factors associated with the poor prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It has been shown that multiple chemokines and their receptors are related to the progression and metastasis of NSCLC. The aim of this study was to conduct an investigation into whether CCL21 and its receptor, CCR7, play a role...

Standardized Cannabis sativa extract attenuates tau and stathmin gene expression in the melanoma cell line

Objective(s): Metastasis is the main cause of death in patients with melanoma. Cannabis-based medicines are effective adjunctive drugs in cancer patients. Tau and Stathmin proteins are the key proteins in cancer metastasis. Here we have investigated the effect of a standardized Cannabis sativa extract on cell migration and Tau and Stathmin gene expression in the melanoma cell line. Materials an...

CCR7 mediates human breast cancer cell invasion, migration by inducing epithelial–mesenchymal transition and suppressing apoptosis through AKT pathway

Chemokine and the chemokine receptor have a key role in the tumor progress. Here, we supposed that CCR7 might induce the invasion, migration, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process of breast cancer. In this research, human breast cancer MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231cells were treated with CCL19 and small-interfering RNA (CCR7 siRNA) for activation and inhibition of CCR7, respectively. Cell ...
