Abstract
In recent years, with the advance of research, the role of tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) in tumors has become a research hotspot. As important effector cells in the innate immune system, neutrophils play a key role in the immune and inflammatory responses of the body. As the first line of defense against bacterial and fungal infections, neutrophils have the ability to kill invading pathogens. In the pathological state of malignant tumors, the phenotype of neutrophils is altered and has an important regulatory function in tumor development. The C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 2(CXCR2) is a key molecule that mediates the migration and aggregation signaling pathway of immune cells, especially neutrophils. This review focuses on the regulation of CXCR2 on TANs in the process of tumorigenesis and development, and emphasizes the application significance of CXCR2 inhibitors in blocking the migration of TANs to tumors.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Histology publishes results of original research on the localization and expression of molecules in animal cells, tissues and organs. Coverage includes studies describing novel cellular or ultrastructural distributions of molecules which provide insight into biochemical or physiological function, development, histologic structure and disease processes.
Major research themes of particular interest include:
- Cell-Cell and Cell-Matrix Interactions;
- Connective Tissues;
- Development and Disease;
- Neuroscience.
Please note that the Journal of Molecular Histology does not consider manuscripts dealing with the application of immunological or other probes on non-standard laboratory animal models unless the results are clearly of significant and general biological importance.
The Journal of Molecular Histology publishes full-length original research papers, review articles, short communications and letters to the editors. All manuscripts are typically reviewed by two independent referees. The Journal of Molecular Histology is a continuation of The Histochemical Journal.
